Chapter 594: Unexpected

In five days, the cavalry of the Xia Kingdom swept through the sphere of influence of the Grassland Country for five days before they embarked on the way home with a small amount of loot.

Behind them were the cavalry of the grassland country in their early 10,000s who watched the cavalry of the Xia country go away, they no longer wanted to pursue the cavalry of the Xia country, and they did not dare to pursue the cavalry of the Xia country, the strength of the cavalry of the Xia country made those people who did not participate in the big battle last year unforgettable for life.

In the space of five days, the grassland country, which originally had only eleven alliances and eighty-four tribes with a total population of less than 100,000, was once again severely damaged, as many as fifteen tribes were wiped out or severely damaged, and more than ten tribes paid the price of dozens to hundreds of tribesmen.

This is nothing, when the cavalry of the Xia Kingdom stayed away, the cavalry gathered in the country of the grassland returned to their respective tribes, and after only one day, some tribes made the decision to move away from the country of the grassland, the black tribe was too strong, so strong that the country of the grassland could not fight, they could only move far away from the black tribe.

First of all, the tribes broke away from the grassland country, and then the alliance as a whole broke away from the grassland country, and even several member tribes in the anti-black alliance had the idea of breaking away from the grassland country and breaking away from the anti-black alliance.

Of course, not all tribes want to break away from the country of grasslands, but there are many tribes because of the strength of the Xia country to firmly develop the country of grasslands, only by destroying the black tribes, the prairie can restore stability, but there are too few tribes with such thoughts.

The leader of the withered grass has already seen that the country of the grassland is about to fall apart, and without the country of the grassland, the nomadic tribes on the grassland will not be able to resist the cavalry of the black tribe.

The final effort of the leader of the withered grass was not to persuade other alliances and tribes not to withdraw from the grassland country, but to persuade several member tribes of the Anti-Black Alliance not to withdraw from the Anti-Black Alliance.

As long as the Anti-Black Alliance still exists, even if it is far from being the opponent of the Black Tribe, it can resist other alliances and survive on the prairie.

In another meeting of the leaders of the Anti-Black Alliance, the leader of the dead grass tried his best to persuade several leaders, and finally several leaders gave up the idea of quitting the anti-black alliance, and the leader of the dry grass also made a compromise for this, and within a few days after the meeting, the anti-black alliance should immediately move to a distant place, away from here, away from the cavalry of the black tribe.

One tribe after another broke away from the country of the grassland, one alliance after another broke away from the country of the grassland, and even the anti-black alliance where the lord of the country of the grassland belonged gave up the country of the grassland, and the country of the grassland officially disintegrated.

The alliances and tribes that originally belonged to the country of the grassland have moved to the distance, with the power of the country of the grassland, they can barely stay in this area, the country of the grassland has disintegrated, how dare they still stay in this area, they have moved to the distance.

If Mu Shi on the way back knew the changes in the country of the grassland, he would be very happy, originally this time the cavalry troops of the Xia country attacked the country of the grassland in order to destroy the anti-black alliance and make the country of the grassland disintegrate, but he didn't expect various changes in the plan, and in the end he could only attack the nomadic tribes he encountered inside the country of the grassland, but he didn't expect that because of this one, the country of the grassland would disintegrate.

It can be described as unexpected and reasonable.

The disintegration of the country of the grassland is definitely a great thing for the country of Xia, the country of the grassland gathers so many alliances and tribes, and can gather tens of thousands of cavalry, which has a huge threat to the cavalry troops of the Xia country, and the country of the grassland has disintegrated, on the prairie, the cavalry troops of the Xia country will no longer have any opponents, and the city does not need to worry about an enemy attack.

Maybe in the future, there will be a collection of nomadic tribes similar to the country of the grassland on the prairie, but that is all in the future, at least in two years, there will be no such huge human force as the country of the grassland in the prairie, two years is enough for the Xia country to continue to weaken the grassland, and the Xia country has been moving forward, and the end of the nomadic tribe of the grassland has been doomed.

Time returned to a few days ago, the war of the cavalry troops of the Xia Kingdom against the country of the grassland had just ended, and on the battlefield of the eastern front of the Xia country, the war broke out again, and it was the expeditionary army of the Xia country that attacked the tribes on the new route.

I still remember that in the last five years, Xia Guo's plan for the surrounding tribes, the first year issued invitations, the second year threatened with force, and the third year directly dispatched a large army to fight those tribes who were unwilling to join Xia and did not move, for the tribes on the new route, Xia Guo also used this plan.

In the year before last, the Xia Kingdom had sent out invitations to dozens of tribes on the new route, inviting them to join the Xia Kingdom in the form of clans, and a year later, only three tribes with a population of less than 1,000 had joined the Xia Kingdom.

Last year, the Xia Kingdom threatened the tribes on the new route, threatening that if they did not join the Xia Kingdom, they would send a large army to destroy them, this time none of the tribes changed their minds to join the Xia Kingdom, only a few tribes were worried that the Xia Kingdom had really sent a large army over and had moved away from the Yellow River.

The tribes on both sides of the new route did not choose to join the Xia Kingdom, and the high-level officials of the Xia Kingdom could understand that it was normal for their tribes not to join the Xia Kingdom, and everyone had different languages and beliefs, and those tribes could still survive, so naturally they did not have the idea of joining the Xia Kingdom.

The last time the invitation was issued, many tribes joined the Xia Kingdom because of the impact of natural disasters, if those tribes did not join the Xia Kingdom, it was really possible that the entire tribe would be wiped out, and in order to continue to survive, they chose to join the Xia Kingdom.

Since the tribes on the new route are unwilling to join the Xia Kingdom, they can only be conquered by force, and there are not enough C-type ships with the fastest speed in the Xia Kingdom, but for some tribes closer to the Xia Kingdom, it is also possible to use the improved version of the A-type ship with the second fastest speed.

Carried by a fleet of improved A-type ships, the Xia State Expeditionary Army, composed of fifteen teams from three towns, stepped into a new route.

The first target of the Xia Expeditionary Army was the first tribe on the new route, the Yue tribe that had been threatened by the fishing tribe and moved.

The original Moon tribe only had a population of nearly 1,000, and nearly ten years have passed, through trading some weapons and equipment with the Xia Kingdom, the Moon tribe has won one self-defense war after another, and with the natural population growth, the total population of the Moon tribe has reached more than 1,300 people.

If it can continue, it will only take about ten years, and the Moon Tribe will become a large tribe with a population of more than two thousand, but with the arrival of the Xia Expeditionary Army, everything will eventually be shattered.

In the year before last, the high-level leaders of the Moon Tribe did not hesitate to refuse the invitation of the Xia Kingdom, and last year, the high-level leaders of the Moon Tribe were nervous because of the threat of war in the Xia Kingdom, worried that the Moon Tribe would be destroyed by the powerful Xia Kingdom, and then thinking of the friendly contact with the Xia Kingdom for so many years, many people thought that the Xia Kingdom would not really attack the Moon Tribe, but was just scaring the Moon Tribe, so that the high-level leaders of the Moon Tribe did not even have the idea of moving.

On this day, the fleet carrying the expeditionary army of the Xia Kingdom is about to arrive at the bank of the Yellow River corresponding to the Yue tribe, the people of the Yue tribe are fishing by the river as usual, seeing the arrival of the Xia country fleet, several clansmen are excited to shout, the weapons and equipment of the Xia country, the white salt and pepper powder of the Xia country, and the various commodities of the Xia country are treasures to the people of the Yue tribe.

But there were also a few months when the tribesmen sensed that something was wrong, and they remembered what happened last year, perhaps the Xia Kingdom sent a large army to attack the Moon Tribe.

"A few of you go back to the tribe and tell the leader that the Xia fleet is here again."

Hearing this, even three young clansmen ran quickly towards the tribal settlement.

The leader of the moon has not yet come out of the place of residence, the fleet of the Xia country has stopped, and a group of Xia country soldiers rushed up the river bank and rushed towards the people of the Moon tribe, the people of the Yue tribe were stunned by the scene in front of them, and the next moment they turned around and ran towards the place of residence, and the people of the Yue tribe who ran behind wanted to have two more legs.

"The Xia people are really here, they really want to attack our Yue tribe, we are not the opponents of the Xia people, run!"

In the face of the fleeing Moon tribesmen, the Xia warriors quickly pursued forward, but the pursuit was only a secondary task, the first goal of the Xia expeditionary army was to surround the Moon tribe residence, not to let go of an enemy, and then persuade the Moon tribe to surrender, if the Moon tribe did not surrender, then attack.

There are records of various information about the Yue tribe by the officials of the Ministry of Commerce, and the expeditionary army of the Xia Kingdom successfully surrounded the Yue tribe, just two towns and ten teams of more than 900 people surrounded the residence of the Yue tribe, and inside was the leader of the Yue tribe with hundreds of Yue tribesmen who wanted to arrive at the expeditionary army of the Xia country.

Under the protection of several sword and shield soldiers, officials of the Ministry of Commerce stepped forward to persuade the Yue tribe to surrender.

"Leader Yue, your Yue tribe is not the opponent of our Xia Kingdom, if you continue to resist, your tribe will die a lot, please lay down your weapons, as long as you lay down your weapons, our Xia Kingdom will not hurt you." The amazing thing is that this official of the Ministry of Commerce actually used the language of the Moon Tribe, and his speech was a little stumbling, but the meaning of the words was enough for the people of the Moon Tribe to understand.

It turned out that after nearly ten years of contact between the Xia Kingdom and the Moon Tribe, there was a plan to send people to record and learn the language of the Moon Tribe, which made it easier for the Xia Kingdom to trade with the Moon Tribe, and it could also be used to persuade the surrender, after all, the language was much more convenient than the gesture, and the language could be understood by more people.

"Nope! Our Moon Tribe will not lay down their weapons, this is our home, and we must use the weapons in our hands to protect our home! The Moon Leader roared.

"Moon Chief, please don't make useless resistance, your Moon tribe is not the opponent of our Xia Kingdom, come, let you see the strong bow of our Xia Kingdom, even if you are wearing the rattan armor traded from our Xia Kingdom, you will not be able to resist the strong bow of our Xia Kingdom." After saying that, the official of the Ministry of Commerce made a gesture to the town guard not far behind him.

The Keeper then gave the archers an order to shoot arrows at the ground in front of the Moon Leader, allowing skilled archers to shoot arrows closer to people.

The next moment, more than a hundred arrows shot out and hit the ground in front of the Moon Leader and his people, and several arrows shot directly in front of the Moon Leader, and the arrows were deeply embedded in the soil.

"Shhh

The leader of the moon took a few steps back in fear, the leader of the moon had already imagined the scene of this arrow shooting at himself, the people of the Xia country said that their bow was very powerful, and the arrow deep into the soil was enough to show this, if this arrow was shot on him, I am afraid that the vine shield and rattan armor from the Xia country in his body would not be able to resist.

What confidence did the leader of the moon have to arrive at the expeditionary corps of the Xia Kingdom before, isn't it those copper weapons and rattan shields and rattan armor that were traded from the Xia Kingdom, it is precisely because of these weapons and equipment from the Xia Kingdom that the Moon Tribe has won one war after another and survived tenaciously.

The leader of the moon also wanted to use these weapons and equipment from the Xia country to reach the people of the Xia country, but he didn't expect that the confidence in his heart was directly broken by a wave of arrows from the people of the Xia country, and the fighting spirit faded from the heart of the Yue tribe, and fear followed.

Not only the Moon Leader, but also the upper echelons of the Moon Tribe and other clansmen were all frightened by the arrows shot by the Xia Kingdom archers, and they all set their eyes on the Moon Leader, hoping that their leader would make a decision.

"Leader Yue, this is the strong bow of our Xia Kingdom, as long as our Xia Kingdom's bow and arrow book shoots a few waves of arrows, you will all die, and our Xia Kingdom is not a dead or injured person, hurry up and put down your weapons, I can guarantee that you will not be harmed in any way, and you still have the opportunity to become our Xia Kingdom." The official of the Ministry of Commerce shouted loudly again.

This official of the Ministry of Commerce is right, according to the plan formulated before, all the tribes who joined the Xia Kingdom last year and the year before will directly become citizens of the Xia Kingdom.

And this year, when they were directly hit by the Xia State Expeditionary Corps and finally surrendered to the Xia State but there were almost no casualties, all the people of the tribe would first become servants of the Xia State, and they would become Xia citizens in three years at most; If the surrender was made in the event of casualties, the men of the tribe were reduced to slavery, and the women were rewarded to the meritorious citizens.

Now it depends on how the Moon Leader chooses, and with a single thought, the people of the Moon Tribe will have two endings.

The Moon Leader did not make an immediate decision, and he proposed to the officials of the Ministry of Commerce to consult with the upper echelons of the Moon Tribe, and the officials of the Ministry of Commerce agreed, but only gave a quarter of an hour.

A quarter of an hour later, the official of the Ministry of Commerce asked again, "Leader Yue, do you Yue tribe choose to lay down your arms, or do you stubbornly resist to the end?" ”

"I hope you Xia people will do what you say, and our Yue tribe chooses to lay down their weapons."

Bang!

The Moon Leader was the first to throw his weapon on the ground, and then the other Moon tribesmen threw their weapons on the ground.

The warriors of the Xia Kingdom moved forward step by step, driving the unarmed Moon tribesmen towards the center of the Moon Tribe's residence, and at the same time collecting the weapons and equipment left on the ground.

In less than half an hour, the war of the Xia Kingdom against the Moon Tribe ended, and under the strong force of the Xia State Expeditionary Corps, the Moon Tribe was forced to surrender.
