Recuperate for a winter time, and a new war is coming.

"Everyone, for the sake of the Xia Kingdom, war!"

"War!"

In the palace council hall, there was a shout from the big figures of the Xia Kingdom, for the sake of the Xia Kingdom, they chose war, and this time the Xia Kingdom will start a war on the east and west fronts at the same time.

The targets of the Eastern Front are the Japanese Tribe camp and the Fishing Tribe, and the Japanese Tribe camp is closer to the Xia Kingdom than the Fishing Tribe, so the first target on the Eastern Front is the Japanese Tribe camp, and the Xia Kingdom will concentrate the First Army and the Second Army to attack the Japanese Tribe camp.

The war of the Xia Kingdom against the Japanese tribal camp will be the largest war launched by the Xia Kingdom from the time of the Dragon Tribe to the present, the total population of the Japanese tribal camp is more than 14,000, and the population of the Sun tribe alone will reach 7,000, and the Xia Kingdom will concentrate more than 2,000 warriors to attack the Japanese tribal camp.

In such a large-scale war, Su Yan decided to personally sit in command, conquer the Japanese tribal camp in the spring, and conquer the fishing tribe in the summer, and after the two battles on the eastern front, there will be no other tribes on both sides of the main trunk of the Yellow River from Yancheng to the fishing tribe.

The target of the western front was many nomadic tribes in the steppe, and the cavalry troops stationed in Chucheng were to fight, according to the plan, the cavalry troops would go deep into the steppe every two months, looking for nomadic tribes to attack, and capture the much-needed cattle, horses and sheep for the Xia Kingdom.

According to the statistics of the household department in the early spring of this year, the total population of Xia has reached more than 226,500 people, and in one year, the total population of Xia has increased by nearly 30,000, of which there are more than 38,500 adult male nationals, more than 55,300 adult female nationals, more than 7,700 slaves, and hundreds of servants.

More than 220,000 people, in this backward era, what a huge number, although Su Yan felt that the population of Xia was not enough, but more than 220,000 people were enough to support the Xia Kingdom to start a war on two fronts, and the war was coming.

On the second day after the end of the court meeting, the city lords and ministers and Mu Shi, the cavalry town guard, returned to their respective cities by boat, and on the third day, the first and second legions of the Xia State completed the assembly in Zhongjing, and Su Yan then transferred one team from each of the field/battle army and the city defense army in Zhongjing, a total of 22 teams of 2,068 "huge" legions of 2,068 people ready to go.

In the early morning of the fourth day, under the eyes of thousands of people on the wharf, a flotilla of fifteen B-type ships slowly sailed away from the wharf of Zhongjing City, the target of the Japanese tribe, which was twelve days away.

On the afternoon of the tenth day, Hu Nan, Mu Shi, Lu Zhe and others returned to the city.

In the early morning of the thirteenth day, Mu Shi led the cavalry town to leave the city and march towards the depths of the grassland.

It is worth mentioning that the last time I went deep into the grassland, the five hundred cavalry of the cavalry town were two war horses per person, and this time it was increased to three war horses per person.

In the war on the steppe, a person has to control at least two horses, preferably three horses, and four horses is a bit much.

One war horse is used to ride, and the remaining two war horses are used to carry items, and when running for a long time, one war horse is tired, and one horse can be replaced with a ride, and the three war horses are rotated, and the cavalry troops can maintain a faster speed.

And when the battle is launched, the person on horseback will rely on the horse to dodge, often after a battle, the number of casualties on the horse is more than the person, there are a few more war horses around, and when a war horse is dead or injured, the war horse can be quickly replaced.

Originally, the Xia Kingdom was short of horses, and a large number of horses were needed to cultivate the fields and pull carts, so that when the cavalry unit was formed, one person could only have one horse, and even because the number of war horses was not large, the scale of the cavalry unit was very small at the beginning, with only one team.

For the first time, the Hunan team defeated the incoming black wolf tribe cavalry and obtained a batch of war horses, and the cavalry force was expanded to two teams, still one war horse for each cavalry.

The second time, the cavalry of the Wind Tribe attacked, after defeating the cavalry of the Wind Tribe, the cavalry troops and the chariot troops went out to fight the Wind Tribe together, wiped out the Wind Tribe, and obtained a large number of cattle, horses and sheep.

The third time, the cavalry troops went deep into the grassland to destroy the White Horse Tribe, and obtained a large number of cattle, horses and sheep, Su Yan once again specially approved a thousand horses to the cavalry troops, so that now each cavalry in the cavalry town has three horses, and the remaining horses are reserved for the arrival of the reserve cavalry, and the cavalry troops will be expanded into two teams this year, and the cavalry troops will be expanded into three teams next year.

The cavalry town of 500 horsemen, 500 people, 1,500 horses, broke into the depths of the grassland, according to the plan used in the destruction of the White Horse tribe, the cavalry town was once again scattered into four divisions, two weak divisions in the front, two strong divisions in the rear, and four parts were scattered.

Halfway through the morning of the sixteenth day, the Xia fleet carrying 2,000 warriors was about to arrive at the Japanese tribe.

Su Yan: "Send a signal to tell the ships to be ready for battle." ”

The Japanese tribe lived on the west bank of a tributary of the Yellow River, and it was only a tributary, and the huge fleet of fifteen B-boats could only sail forward in a long line.

The first ship gave the signal, the second ship received the signal, the second ship gave the signal, the third ship received the signal, and so on, and it took some time, and the whole fleet knew the king's order, and the warriors in the cabin made the final preparations before the battle, and the Japanese tribe was close at hand.

When a Japanese tribesman fishing by the river found the figure of the head boat, he shouted in surprise: "The boat of the Xia Kingdom is here again!" Here it comes! ”

"Xia Guo's ship is here again?" The Japanese tribesmen who were fishing by the river raised their heads and looked north along the river when they heard the sound, and sure enough, they saw the fleet of the Xia Kingdom appearing in the field of vision.

The high-level of the Japanese tribe in charge of fishing hurriedly sent two clansmen back to inform the leader that the fleet of the Xia country had not appeared last year, and the high-level of the Japanese tribe had been confused and conjectured, wanting to continue trading with the Xia country, and hoping that the Xia country would be severely damaged or directly destroyed, but they did not expect that a year had passed, and the fleet of the Xia country would come to the Japanese tribe again.

"Chief, Xia Guo's fleet is here again."

"What? Xia Guo's fleet is here again? The leader of the day was surprised.

"It's coming, it's really back." The people who came back to report the news repeated.

After the Japanese leader confirmed the news, he immediately ran towards the river, without even taking a weapon, and it was impossible for the Japanese leader to guess that the Xia country's fleet had arrived this time to attack the Japanese tribe.

"After a year, Xia Guo's fleet is here again, what happened last year that made Xia Guo give up trading with our tribe, the last time the trade was interrupted was because of that terrible natural disaster......

While thinking about things, the leader of the day ran towards the river, and after coming to the river, sure enough, the fleet of the Xia Kingdom came, and the inexplicable leader of the day felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he didn't know where this uneasiness came from.

The head boat kept moving forward, and it sailed almost to the farthest area where the Japanese tribesmen fished before stopping, and the fourteen boats behind the head boat stopped one after another, and the fifteen boats lined up, just occupying the fishing area of the Japanese tribesmen.

"Why are there so many big ships?" Looking at the fifteen B-type ships that stopped, the Japanese leader was very puzzled.

In the Japanese tribe, the A-type ships of the Xia Kingdom were called small boats, and the B-type ships were called large ships.

The next moment, the Sun Leader was stunned by the scene in front of him.

I saw fifteen B-type boats stretching out thick planks to the riverbank, and a group of heavily armed Xia soldiers walked out of the cabin and quickly stepped on the planks and were about to rush onto the riverbank.

The change in front of him made the leader of the day turn around and flee, and as he ran, the leader of the day shouted to the tribesmen on the riverbank: "Run, go back to the tribe, they are enemies!" It's the enemy! ”

In fact, the Japanese tribesmen reacted faster than the Japanese leader, and the Xia people, who were supposed to trade with the Japanese tribe, suddenly turned into an enemy attacking the Japanese tribe, and the sudden change made it difficult for many Japanese tribesmen to react quickly, and in the shouts of the leader and other tribesmen, they reacted and turned around and ran towards the tribe's residence.

They should be glad that the archers of the Xia Kingdom did not shoot arrows, and the Japanese tribesmen on the bank of the river just now were all within the range of the archers of the Xia Kingdom.

In the face of the fleeing Japanese tribesmen, the Xia soldiers did not run fast to pursue, and a group of soldiers stepped on the river bank and walked forward quickly, forming a formation while walking briskly.

The warriors behind entered the array at a faster speed, and an array of more than five hundred vertical and four long quickly formed, and the four rows of warriors quickly pressed up to the Japanese tribe's residence, with the sword and shield soldiers in front, the short archers second, the longbowmen third, and the pikemen last.

"The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming, those who can fight are coming with weapons, we must block the enemy." The leader of the day was the first to run into the dwelling, and as soon as he entered the dwelling, he shouted to all the people.

At this moment, the Japanese tribe residence that is almost the size of an ordinary city in the Xia country seems to be more panicked, and there have been clansmen guarding around the Japanese tribe's residence, and they also follow the Xia country to learn to build a lookout around the residence, although it is only a lookout made of wood, but it is enough for the Japanese tribe to use, far away, the Japanese tribe people who are on the lookout find the situation ahead.

"The enemy is coming! The enemy is coming! Everyone is ready to fight. ”

The leader of the day is still on the way, the people in the place where the Japanese tribe lives already know that there is an enemy coming, or a very strong enemy, in order to defend their homeland, all the tribesmen who can participate in the battle of the Japanese tribe have taken up arms and gathered to the east of the Japanese tribe's residence, and when the leader of the day enters the residence, hundreds of people have gathered here, and there are more clansmen running to this side.

Pregnant women, the sick, the disabled, and children gathered in the central area of the Japanese tribe's residence, and even if they could not participate in the battle, they all held weapons in their hands, such as wooden sticks, stone knives, stone axes, stone spears, stones and other crude weapons, and once they needed to participate in the war, in order to defend their homeland, they would bravely stand up.

Once upon a time, the Sun Tribe camp was suppressed very badly by the Night Tribe camp, every year the Sun Tribe camp and the Night Tribe camp fought, the morale of the Sun Tribe camp was very low, until the Sun Tribe camp was equipped with weapons and equipment from the Xia Kingdom, until the Sun Tribe camp defeated the Night Tribe camp for the first time, until the Night Tribe camp and the bear tribe camp were defeated by the Sun tribe.

In the area where the Japanese tribal camp is located, the Japanese tribal camp is almost dominant, and the victory of many wars has boosted the morale of the Japanese tribal camp, and the people of the Japanese tribal camp have the belief that they will defeat all enemies.

But now the Sun Tribe is facing a very familiar enemy, the Xia country that is stronger than the Sun Tribe camp, and the Xia country that makes the Sun Tribe camp strong.

"Can we resist the Xia Kingdom?" Many people of the Sun tribe had similar thoughts in their hearts, almost no one thought that the Sun tribe would be able to defeat the Xia Kingdom, in their hearts, as long as the Sun tribe could resist the Xia Kingdom, it was enough.

The enemy is coming, more than 2,600 people have gathered in the east of the Japanese tribe's residence, of which nearly 1,200 adult males, about 200 are archers, and the remaining adult males are holding sharp copper weapons in their hands, and more than 300 people are wearing rattan armor and holding rattan shields.

"Why did the Xia Kingdom attack our Sun Tribe? Xia Guo really attacked our Sun tribe, damn it, we must block the Xia people......"

In a short period of time, all kinds of chaotic thoughts appeared in the mind of the leader of the day, the strength of the Xia country made the body of the leader of the day tremble slightly, the leader of the day was afraid that his tribe would be defeated by the powerful Xia country, but soon the leader of the day cheered up again, now it is useless to be afraid, the enemy is close at hand, and it is necessary to block the enemy to think about other things.

"I am the leader, I cannot be afraid, I will lead my people against the enemy."

The leader of the day drew out the bronze sword that had become a symbol of the leader given by the Xia Kingdom to the Japanese tribe, and under the light of the sun, the bronze sword shone with a metallic luster.

"Brothers and sisters, the enemy is coming, the enemy is the powerful Xia country that we know, but our Sun tribe is not weak, we have sharp copper weapons, we defeated the feuding Night Tribe camp, and also defeated the Night Bear Alliance, we are the overlord of this area, our Sun tribe is also very strong, the number of enemies is not as large as ours, we will definitely be able to defeat the incoming enemy, the Sun tribe will win!"

"The Sun Tribe will win!"

"The Sun Tribe will win!"

Driven by the words of the Japanese leader, the Japanese tribesmen who were originally demoralized regained their morale, and their eyes were firm, and they wanted to do their best to defend their homeland.

Standing in front of his own battle column, Su Yan drew his bronze sword and pointed at the array of the Japanese tribe in front of him and shouted: "All enemies with copper weapons, kill!" All the enemies who resist, kill! Archers, release the arrows! ”

Sou! Sou! Sou!

As soon as Su Yan's words fell, more than a thousand longbows and short bows and arrows flew towards the Sun Tribe array......
