(Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!) ）

In the end, Zemeng couldn't bear to lose his son, so he could only endure the pain and hemorrhage and deliver the things that Qin Dong needed to the gate of Qin Dong's military camp by five times the amount of that evening.

There were a total of 1,000 sheep, 500,000 pounds of wheat, 5,000 pounds of salt, 25,000 feet of cloth, 50,000 pounds of pig iron, 500,000 silver coins, 50 blacksmiths, 50 tailors, 5000 archers, 5,000 spears, 100,000 arrows, and about 450,000 catties of wheat alone, all of which added up to a total of 300 large carts, which were confiscated by Qin Dong, but Zemeng refused to leave the mules and horses pulling the carts, and Qin Dong was not too ruthless, so he let him go with 300 mules and horses.

Among these materials, 500,000 pounds of wheat can't be eaten for long, and now there are about 1,000 people in Qin Dong, according to one pound of wheat per person per day, they can eat for a year and a half, but his people will not always be only 1,000 people, and it will increase in the future, so these grains will definitely not last long, but 25,000 feet of cloth is not a small amount, as long as it is well preserved, it can be used for several years, these things can be said to have hollowed out half of Zemeng's family.

There was no way, Qin Dong could only let those carpenters use the fastest speed to make three hundred bent wood set on the neck of the ox, tie a rope on the bent wood and put it on the neck of the ox, and make an ox cart, although the ox cart is slower than the horse cart, but fortunately, it is very stable, the ox will rarely be provoked, and the strength of the ox is relatively large, as long as the cart is strong enough, it can pull more things.

Qin Dong originally wanted a thousand sets of armor, but considering that Zemeng's own army did not have much armor, and the main combat strength of his army was still the archers at this stage, the archers must be light in order to maintain high-speed mobility, the armor in Europe in this era is either the heavy armor of the heavy infantry, or the heavy cavalry armor of the Visigothic Kingdom, and the other relatively light armor is cowhide armor, Qin Dong's cavalry basically have cowhide armor, and wearing heavy armor increases the burden on the horses, It affected the speed and long-distance running ability of the archers, so they did not ask Zemon for armor, and after having a blacksmith and a tailor, what kind of weapons and armor could not be forged?

Since then, the road has been relatively safe and calm, and there are no forces that dare to come to fight the autumn wind, mainly here is the territory of the Huns, even if there are some bandits and small ethnic groups who are unwilling to submit to see the Huns' horse team do not dare to come and rob, they have long been afraid of the Huns.

After six days of traveling, Qin Dong and his entourage of more than 1,000 people finally arrived at Saidica, the northwestern fortress city of the Thracian province of the Roman Empire, where the Roman Emperor Trajan had ordered the creation of currency for the Roman Empire.

The fortress was built because it was surrounded by mountains to defend against the invasion of the northern barbarians, and the climate temperature here does not vary much throughout the year, the most famous is the hot springs, which have many springs gushing out of the city at around 40°C, and the Balkan inn in the center of the city still has the ruins of a Roman bathhouse built in the 5th century.

Sedica across the right tributary of the Danube, the Iskel River and its tributaries, is located in the south of the Saidica Basin, surrounded by vast grasslands, very suitable for grazing, the Huns since the Romans this northwestern fortress city of Thrace Province fell into the control of the Huns, and on the mountain beam south of Saidika there is an earthen Great Wall built by the Eastern Roman Empire, where there are also troops nominally belonging to the Eastern Roman Empire, in fact, the mixed army of the barbarians who were driven to the Roman Empire by the Huns, They were not at all subject to the Eastern Roman Empire.

Sedika has no city walls at all, some buildings are densely distributed on both sides of the Isker River, Qin Dong asked Su He and others to stay on the periphery of Saidika, he took Batu and some other guards into the city to visit the Hun guard commander Moduo of Saidika, and asked Moduo for instructions on the location and grazing area.

There are not only the Huns here, but also the Skils, the Alans, the Eastern Romans, the Arabs, originally there were more buildings here, since the Germanic barbarians were driven by the Huns to have no place to live and began to move south into the territory of the Roman Empire, this is the first stop, those barbarians just started to fight a few battles with the Romans, the Roman Empire Emperor Valentinian I Emperor died on the battlefield, and most of the buildings of Saidika were destroyed, and then the Roman Empire could only admit that these barbarians lived here, But not too many young Huns came again, and fought a few battles with the Germanic barbarians who occupied the place, and the barbarians could no match the Huns, so they could only continue to move south, and cede Saidika and the surrounding large basins and grasslands to the Huns.

The Huns whipped these barbarians in the back like a whip, and the barbarians in turn beat the Roman Empire, causing the Roman Empire to become the biggest victim. Except for one Germanic barbarian tribe in the Thrace region of the Eastern Roman Empire, most of the Germanic barbarians who came out of the northern steppes and the Black Forest were in Transgaul north of the Alps and south of the Rhine, that is, the area of Spain, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and southern Germany. They helped the Roman army resist the Huns, who were sometimes oppressed too hard by Roman officials and would revolt against the tyranny of the Romans.

The reason why the Eastern and Western Roman Empires have not been defeated by the Huns and Germanic barbarians is largely due to geographical factors, the Alps are in an arc to the northwest, protecting the whole of Italy, and the Pyrenees are between Spain and France, and the Western Roman Empire has a navy, and it is difficult for the barbarians to raid the southern coast of Italy from the Mediterranean.

As the natural barrier of the Eastern Roman Empire, the Thrace region, where there are many mountains, the terrain is narrow and complex and changeable, it is difficult for a large force of cavalry to deploy here, and it is difficult to break through quickly, so neither the barbarian cavalry nor the Hun cavalry have ever bargained here, but after Attila and his brother Breda became the king of the Huns, the two broke this common sense, and at a very fast speed, more than 70 cities were taken down and the troops came to the city of Constantinople, causing the Eastern Roman Emperor Theodosius II to flee in panic.

The residence of the Hun commander Modo was in St. George's Chapel, while the administrative office of the Skir was in Hagia Sophia, and they drove out all the Christian clergy who had been there and occupied the two only churches.

Qin Dong took Batu and the others along the way to easily find out the location of St. George's Church, and after finding it, Qin Dong asked the other guards to stay outside, and only asked Batu to go in with two guards.

Explain the situation to the soldiers guarding at the door, and it didn't take long for the guards to let them in, Qin Dong followed the guards and soon went to the second floor to see Moduo, the highest military commander of the Huns in the Saidika region, the Huns do not govern the place, and there is no administrative unit, all the Skirs are responsible for it here, but the Skir people govern the place only half-heartedly.
