In the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and the cavalry troops of the Xia Kingdom have gone deep into the grassland to severely damage or destroy the three nomadic tribal alliances, and under the threat of the cavalry troops of the Xia Kingdom, more and more nomadic tribal alliances have chosen to accept the invitation of the grassland country to join the grassland country.

In one year, the grassland country has increased from the three member alliances of the Anti-Black Alliance, the Guardian Alliance, and the Day Alliance to the current twenty-seven member alliances, one hundred and fifteen tribes, and a population of 160,000, with the population of the grassland country, a maximum of 55,000 adult combatants can be gathered.

Compared with the anti-black alliance at its peak, the strength of the grassland country is more than five times stronger, and the leader of the withered grass feels that it is time to launch a final war against the black tribe, as long as the black tribe is destroyed, not only will he avenge those who died under the arrows of the black tribe, but he will also be completely saved from the disaster of the black tribe.

Immediately, the leader of the withered grass, in his capacity as the lord of the grassland country, sent an invitation to the alliance leaders of each member alliance of the grassland country to convene a meeting of the alliance leaders, and ten days later, the twenty-seven member alliance leaders of the grassland country gathered together.

"Everyone, our grassland country now has twenty-seven member alliances, a population of 160,000, and can gather more than 50,000 cavalry, it's time to send troops to the black tribe." The leader of the withered grass indicated to the other twenty-six alliance leaders.

"Yes, it's time to make a move, our grassland country is so powerful, we will definitely be able to destroy the black tribe."

"I can't wait, the last alliance that was heavily damaged by the Black Tribe cavalry is very close to our alliance, and we can't let the Black Tribe cavalry ravage on the grassland."

"The prairie is a prairie that belongs to our nomadic tribe, and a farming tribe dares to invade the prairie frequently, they are taking death, and they must destroy the black tribe."

All the nomadic tribal alliances that have joined the country of the grassland almost all know the situation of the black tribe, and they are very worried that their alliance will encounter the black tribe cavalry, and only by eliminating the black tribe can they rest assured, and the battles between the nomadic tribes and the battles between the alliances are familiar to them, and they can escape if they can't beat them, only the powerful black tribes like to play cards with uneasy routines.

Seeing that all the alliance leaders agreed to send troops to the Black Tribe, the leader of the withered grass immediately discussed with the alliance leaders how many troops should be sent, how many troops each alliance should send, and how to defend after the alliance sent a large number of people to the Black Tribe......

Referring to the last time the Anti-Black Alliance sent more than 5,000 troops to attack the Black Tribe and returned with a fiasco, there were very few people who escaped with their lives, so this time the strength of the Grassland Country to attack the Black Tribe will reach 30,000 people, half men and half women, and the Black Tribe will be completely wiped out at one time.

The leader of the withered grass did not believe that 30,000 horsemen could not destroy the black tribe, the population of the black tribe was definitely not as large as 30,000 cavalry, even if a cavalry killed a black tribe clansman, the black tribe would be finished.

The country of the steppe has to send a total of 30,000 cavalry, according to the proportion of the population of the twenty-seven member alliances to divide the number of troops, and the twenty-seven member alliances will return to their own alliances and then issue tasks according to the population ratio of the member tribes until 30,000 cavalry are gathered.

The strength of 30,000 cavalry accounts for more than half of the available combat power of the grassland country, and you need to worry about the defense of your alliance when the 30,000 cavalry expedition to the black tribe, once an enemy attacks the member tribe of any member alliance of the grassland country, the grassland country needs to organize a large army to fight back, and each member alliance of the grassland country needs to set an offensive and defensive alliance.

As long as the country of the grassland is still there, with the various rules set by the leader of the withered grass and the country of the grassland, there will be a relatively stable situation within the country of the grassland, which is enough to hold out until the expeditionary army returns from the destruction of the black tribe, and then the country of the grassland will basically be collective, and the alliance of members will fight against each other in an alliance unit.

If it weren't for the fight against the Black Tribe, the Grassland Country's collection of multiple alliances would not have been established at all.

In addition, at the end of the meeting, the leader of the withered grass also asked the alliance leaders to pass the order, and each cavalry should carry a large piece of animal skin, and the leader of the withered grass thought of the tall walls of the black tribe.

The leader of the withered grass has already thought of a way to deal with the city wall, as long as each cavalry carries a large piece of animal skin, and when approaching the black tribe, each cavalry will use a large piece of animal skin to load the soil, and when the battle starts, he will directly dump under the city wall, and 30,000 people will be dumped, and the soil can be directly cushioned out of a small hill, and the cavalry of the army of the country of the grassland can rush into the black tribe's residence through the small hillside.

At the end of the meeting, the alliance leaders returned to their respective alliances, and convened the leaders of each member tribe of the alliance to open accounts, and sent the matters formulated at the meeting of the leaders of the Prairie Country Alliance to the leaders of the member tribes, and finally the leaders brought them back to their own tribes.

That's 30,000 cavalry, the leaders who got the news were very surprised, the country of the grassland actually wanted to gather 30,000 cavalry, no matter how strong the black tribe was, it would not be the opponent of the 30,000 cavalry of the country of the grassland.

Originally, many tribes knew the strength of the River Tribe, in order to prevent too many tribesmen from dying in the war, they wanted to send a little less tribesmen, but they didn't expect that the country of the grassland would send 30,000 troops to expedition against the black tribe, and the country of the grassland would win, and each tribe obeyed the order and prepared to send enough tribesmen to fight.

A month later, the 32,000 cavalry of the Grassland Nation had been assembled, more than the leader of the withered grass had expected.

Because of the language barrier, the leader of the withered grass could not make a speech before the expedition, so he could only ask the alliance leaders and leaders to announce the matter.

"The goal of our army in the country of the grassland in this battle is the black tribe, the strength of the black tribe is strong, and many times entering the grassland will severely damage or even destroy the alliance of nomadic tribes, seriously affecting the survival of our nomadic tribes, we must eliminate the black tribe, and the army of the country of the grassland will surely destroy the black tribe."

The meaning of the leader of the withered grass was conveyed to the ears of every cavalryman, and all the cavalry knew why they were fighting, and for a time the morale of the army of the country of the steppe was greatly increased.

"Let's go!"

As the lord of the grassland country, the withered grass leader gave an order, and the 32,000 troops of the grassland country marched towards the east of the grassland, targeting the black tribe residence.

The action of the grassland country has not escaped the eyes of other nomadic tribal alliances, from the beginning of the establishment of the grassland country, the surrounding alliances are paying attention to the situation of the grassland country, the grassland country is composed of multiple alliances, the strength is much stronger than a single alliance, if the grassland country attacks other nomadic tribal alliances, there is no nomadic tribal alliance can resist at all.

Fortunately, the purpose of the establishment of the Grassland Country is to deal with the Black Tribe, and it is impossible to make a move against other nomadic tribal alliances, which reassures those nomadic tribal alliances that have not joined the Grassland Country.

There are a total of twenty-seven nomadic tribal alliances that have joined the country of grasslands, and there are more alliances of nomadic tribes on the steppes that have not joined the country of grasslands, and not every alliance of nomadic tribes will choose to join the country of grasslands.

These nomadic tribal alliances have more or less been in contact with the cavalry of the Black Tribe, and there are even nearby nomadic tribal alliances that have accidents, in order not to let their alliances end up like that, so the alliances in the three directions have chosen to join the country of the steppe.

Every time the Black Tribal cavalry severely damages or destroys a nomadic tribal alliance, the number of member alliances of the Grassland Country will increase, and it can be said that the Grassland Country is increasing in strength with the help of the Black Tribal cavalry, and the Grassland Country, which has increased in strength, turns its head and blows the horn of war to the Black Tribe.

And those nomadic tribal alliances that are far away from the range of the black tribe cavalry, although they know some things about the black tribe cavalry, they have not personally contacted, and they are far away from the black tribe cavalry, and the nomadic tribal alliance is an opponent of each other, these nomadic tribal alliances that have not joined the grassland country want other nomadic tribal alliances to be hit hard, and then pick up their own leaks.

This time, the 30,000 army of the Grassland Country went on the expedition, and many nomadic tribal alliances were looking forward to the defeat of the Grassland Country army, although they also thought that this possibility was very small, and that the Black Tribe would not be the opponent of the grassland country army.

The army of the grassland country where the black tribe residence is located is very clear, after all, the anti-black alliance has attacked the black tribe once a few years ago, and it is already familiar with the road, as long as you follow the road, you can hit the black tribe settlement located on the edge of the grassland.

The 30,000-strong army of the Grassland Country marched for eleven days in a row, and it was expected that it would take less than a day to reach the Black Tribe's residence, and the leader of the Dry Grass immediately ordered the army to stop and rest, and dug up the soil and put it on horseback with animal skins, and when it arrived at the Black Tribe's residence, the soil could be dumped.

In fact, when there were only two days left between the army of the grassland country and the city, the city had already discovered the movement of the army of the country of the grassland.

In order to prevent the city from encountering such a situation, Hu Nan and Lu Zhe decided to send a number of teams to patrol the area of the city two days away, in order to detect the incoming enemy in advance, so that the city side can prepare in advance.

Due to the importance of the city, half of the telescopes produced by the Ministry of Industry of the Xia State were allocated to the city, half of this half of the number was allocated to the cavalry troops, and the remaining half was distributed by Hunan.

The patrol team in charge of important tasks all had a telescope, which was able to detect the army of the grassland country in advance, and after determining the number of the army of the grassland country, the patrol team immediately sent two people back to the city to report the situation.

After receiving the information from the patrol team, Hu Nan immediately summoned the high-level officials of the city to discuss the matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the patrol team has found a cavalry of more than 30,000 people coming in the direction of the city, the target must be our city, how should we deal with it."

As soon as Hu Nan finished speaking, Lu Zhe said: "The enemy has 30,000 cavalry, a lot, but not strong, we have a tall city wall, as long as we mobilize all the archers to defend the city, 30,000 enemy cavalry will also be repelled by us." ”

Everyone else nodded and agreed with Lu Zhe's words.

Now the city is extraordinary, the city has already completed the expansion, the name of the most populous city in the Xia country has been transferred from the middle capital to the city, there are nearly 30,000 people in the city, and the city has only 25,000 people.

In addition, the leader of the withered grass guessed correctly, the population of the city is indeed not as large as the army of the grassland country.

It is not surprising that the city has a population of nearly 30,000, and it is located on the edge of the grassland, and is mainly engaged in herding and farming, both of which require a large number of people.

At present, the number of cavalry troops in the cavalry unit has exceeded 2,100 people, which is more than 2,100 families, and more importantly, the cavalry troops often go deep into the grassland to wage wars, and the cavalry is very easy to get the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

One woman for third-class merit, two women for second-class merit, and three women for first-class merit, with an average of more than 2.1 women per cavalryman.

There are many women in the cavalry family, and there are many children, and all the factors add up to make the population of the city continue to increase, but the population of the city cannot be increased blindly, and the city in the north of the city is already in preparation, and the construction will officially start next year.

The 30,000 army of the country of the grassland is coming, and the high-level people in the city are not afraid, the most important thing is that the cavalry troops are still in the city and have not gone out to fight.

Two thousand one hundred cavalry, that is, two thousand one hundred archers, they will be the main force in this defensive battle of the city, and they will not stay under the city like the last time, waiting for the other archers to defeat the enemy, and the cavalry troops will rush out of the city to pursue the enemy.

30,000 enemy cavalry, the number is too much, in order to prevent accidents, the city needs to mobilize all combatants to defend the city, there is no need to set aside cavalry units or chariot units to pursue the enemy.

Count all the archers in the city, plus two thousand one hundred cavalry, the number of archers is more than six thousand, cavalry is the most important force, followed by those women from nomadic tribes in the cavalry family, who grew up on the grassland, they are good at riding horses and archery, and living in the Xia country for many years, they have already integrated into the Xia country and are willing to fight for the Xia country.

With 6,000 archers against 30,000 cavalry in the country of the steppe, one archer needs to shoot five cavalry to wipe out all the enemies.

But the real battle situation can not be calculated in this way, this time the enemy has as many as 30,000 horsemen, too many, the city storage side does not intend to destroy the enemy, as long as the enemy is defeated, you can pursue it, you can pursue it, and if you can't pursue, you will give up temporarily.

According to the battle plan, if more than 5,000 people are shot and wounded in the city, and there is no loss on your side, the army of the country of the steppe will retreat; When the number of losses exceeds 10,000, the army of the Steppe Country will choose to retreat; When the number of losses exceeds 20,000, it will directly turn into a rout.

The goal of the city is to defeat the enemy rather than repel the enemy, the enemy dares to invade the city to give the enemy a little bit of a good look, the enemy is painful to make the enemy discourage, in addition to destroying some more enemies, the city can also get a large number of horses, which is a good thing.

After making sure that the city had enough strength to resist the incoming enemy, Hu Nan gave up the idea of letting other cities support, the enemy was still a day away from the city, and the city had enough time to bring reinforcements from the surrounding cities, and now it seemed that it was not necessary.
