Chapter 582: Grassland (6)
It's just that it's still an idea at present, on the issue of the grassland tribe's co-optation and attack, on the one hand, Yan Xuelan and Tie Yunshuang are the masters, he is a subordinate, and there is another aspect that the grassland tribe does not know the general situation, if it is sensible, it will naturally be the majority, and if it is not sensible, it will naturally be beaten more, so it is up to the people to succeed, what is the final result, Chen Zheng doesn't want to care about it, everything is fate.
This is the third time I have been on the grassland, and in order to maintain mobility, eating, drinking, and sleeping are almost always solved on the horse.
The soldiers are all very good, but the masters of the Prosecutor's Department have some problems with this, they haven't done this before, and they are a bit handy, but after getting acquainted with it, they quickly adapt to it.
However, they were not moving aimlessly, Tie Yunshuang had part of the map of the grassland in his hand.
The prairie is so vast that even a native steppe dweller is not sure that he knows all the places.
The existence depicted on the map is described by the steppe people who joined the Iron Cavalry, and this set of maps is gradually improving over time.
At the beginning, there may only be simple plains, basins and other terrain to the back water sources, and the grasslands are marked one by one, not only that, but also the grassland tribes that have appeared near these water sources, their flags, totems, and general range of activities, which are all detailed information.
Of course, there were also some important locations of the great tribes of the grassland, such as the horse farms, pastures, and trial fields for cultivation of the Golden Tribe.
However, the Iron Cavalry in these places have been wiped out one by one under years of attack, and some of them have also given up after learning about the harassment of the Iron Cavalry.
The only way to go down is to choose a path that is more likely to encounter tribes.
In the blink of an eye, it was the third day of customs clearance.
On a fairly abundant pasture can see a patchwork of camp tents, come and go to see a lot of herdsmen are working, although it is close to night, but there are still a lot of things to do, the cattle and sheep released during the day have to be put into the pen at night, but also to see if there are any naughty ones who have not yet returned home, and there is to make dinner for their own family, and then chat, prepare the utensils for making dairy products that may be used tomorrow morning, after all, this is related to their staple food.
Some of them have to take care of their own children, there are other farm work to deal with, and some have to watch their own slave work, in addition to the tribal warriors who stayed behind to patrol the guard, the rest have begun to prepare to return to their homes to enjoy dinner, after a busy day, they are already a little sleepy, and it is just at this time to go back and eat a steaming meal, which is the best reward for a day's work. Then, while they were happily discussing what to eat tonight, they felt the ground beneath their feet begin to shake with a loud noise, and it was very regular.
Many of the men's faces immediately changed dramatically, this was not an earthquake, but a large number of cavalry approaching.
These steppe warriors who were just about to go back immediately got on their horses, and at the same time, Zhang Pengfei's people also reacted quickly, the women protected their children, and took down all the weapons that could be used for self-defense, pots and pans, etc., and those slaves also reacted quickly, and rushed out with their own weapons.
These slaves needed to work as labor in their daily lives, but they also had to be used as auxiliary fighters to assist their masters in fighting when the battle occurred.
This is where they live and live, and if they don't work hard, the end won't be much better.
Then under the frightened eyes of these steppe tribes and slaves, a large number of cavalry troops outflanked them from all directions, and the number was quite a few at a glance.
It is directly surrounded by the entire tribal settlement.
Strictly speaking, they are only a small tribe, and the total number of warriors and slaves who can really exert their combat effectiveness is only 5,000, which is still counted as much as possible.
But how many enemies can they have? Looking at the past, there are countless numbers, densely packed with human heads, and in the light of the fire around the tent, you can also see the reflection on the enemy's armor, this metallic luster, either iron pieces or armor, anyway, these steppe warriors, most of whom are dressed in animal skins, can deal with.
How does this work?
The warriors of the tribe, who were usually majestic in front of the beasts, were now trembling in two ways.
There are quite a few bloody people, seeing these cavalrymen of unknown origin, they don't mean to ask at all, and they all rumble over, and they don't look like kind visitors.
Then these bloody tribal warriors who rushed out first were also pierced through the throat by sharp arrows at the first time, or they were shot in the head.
It's just that a few dozen people have picked out and grabbed typical examples, and the rest of the people immediately didn't dare to move, and the examples of daring to resist are already in front of them, and they still have the idea of wanting to do it? Impossible.
If they are evenly matched, they will not sit still, but the enemy is obviously much stronger than themselves, there is no point in resisting, and if they surrender, they may be able to save their own lives.
In particular, there are still many people in this cavalry of unknown origin who are speaking the native dialect of the grassland, which is translated into the official language of the Central Plains is to lay down their arms, surrender and avoid death, otherwise the people of this tribe would not have stopped resisting so quickly, who knows what these people are here for, whether they are here to slaughter their own tribe.
Although these local dialects are very good, you can always hear that they are not native to the grassland, and they are still a little worse in taste.
It is estimated that they are the Central Plains people of Beiyan.
Under the leadership of their clan chief, they took the initiative to give up resistance and let the Northern Yan people in.
These people are riding high-headed horses, there is a layer of scale armor outside, and it is not easy for the martial arts momentum on their bodies to be exposed, their patriarch and a few elders of the older generation are the martial artists of the Tongmai Realm, and as a result, there are no less than a hundred people in the enemy army who are similar to their realm, not to mention other people who are more terrifying than the momentum on their bodies.
Although I saw that many of these mysterious cavalry were women, none of them were weak, they were stronger than the warriors of their tribe, and their strength was respected on the grassland, and if you have a big fist, you will have a lot of weight in your words.
Even if you are a woman, as long as your strength is strong, people will obey you.
These mysterious cavalrymen did not do anything excessive after entering the tribe's garrison, but only collected the arms of the warriors.
And then these mysterious cavalrymen didn't do anything out of the ordinary, they didn't do anything to rob the people's daughters, they just made do with the leadership of the tribe.
And then outside every tent is guarded by soldiers, as long as the men and women of these tribes stay honestly in the tent and don't do anything that shouldn't be done, these soldiers will not do anything to them.
Among the largest tents at this time, the big tent that was originally the patriarch of the tribe has now temporarily become a tent for Yan Xuelan and the others to live temporarily.
Chen Zheng and the heads of all these parts are there, and of course there are some clan patriarchs at the scene.
The small tribe is the Sheep Tongue tribe, which sounds like the kind of sheep tongue that is eaten, but it is the surname of this tribe.
Translated from the vernacular of the steppe tribes, it is sheep's tongue.
Sheep's tongue.
The name is relatively strange and a bit awkward.
It's a little old man, and he's also one of the few Tongmai realm martial artists of the Sheep Tongue Clan, and it's enough to be Yan Xuelan's grandfather, and now he is standing tremblingly in front of the group.
He didn't understand the dignity of the people in the team, and he could only observe it from the momentum of the martial arts.
The most powerful thing is undoubtedly the tall woman wearing scale armor, who should be an innate realm martial artist above her own realm, and she is stronger than every innate realm martial artist he has ever seen.
As a result, Tie Yunshuang didn't pay attention to him at all, and directly told Yan Xuelan in the grassland dialect that Yan Xuelan was the most noble person here, the great nobles of Northern Yan, and their iron cavalry army came here today for a very simple purpose, that is, to let the Sheep Tongue tribe fall to Northern Yan.
As a result, before the words were finished, under the gaze of Yan Xuelan and several people, the sheep's tongue rolled his eyes and fainted directly.
Then the other clan elders were in a similar state, almost pulling over.
What did they just hear, Iron Cavalry? This. Isn't that the name of the demon of the Northern Swallow?
That's a demon who eats human flesh and drinks human blood, why did they come to their tribe today?
It's over, they asked a few of them to come in first, do you want to eat them first, they are really not delicious at this age.
There is also the nobleman of the noble Beiyan who is in the mouth of the demon leader, who can order the demon to be the most noble existence in Beiyan.
What is the name of such an being? It seems to be called the emperor?
Several elders of the Sheep Tongue Clan glanced at each other, bowed down to Yan Xuelan, and directly came to a five-body throw, and said in a somewhat lame Central Plains official dialect, "I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of Northern Yan!" ”
"Hahaha"
"Poof"
"Groove"
Suddenly the pot exploded in the tent, Chen Zheng and the others all burst out with laughter, why did you say that Her Royal Highness the princess suddenly became the emperor of Beiyan, these grassland people are too funny, I am afraid that I don't think that the emperor is the title of the nobles of the Central Plains.
Even some of the women who were close to the guards couldn't help but laugh.
Yan Xuelan's whole person is stupid, what the hell? Why did these steppe people suddenly call themselves emperors? When did you have this kind of domineering spirit?
Or are the elders of these steppe tribes actually very capable and able to predict the future, so they make such a big salute after seeing themselves?
However, when Tie Yunshuang heard this, not only was she not happy, but her face became even colder.
He scolded loudly, "What Emperor Your Majesty? This is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Beiyan. ”
The elders of these small tribes also didn't understand the difference between the emperor and the princess before, just now I thought that this was a female emperor in the Central Plains, but I didn't expect that she should be called a princess. Could it be that in the Central Plains, men are called emperors, and women can be called princesses?
Tie Yunshuang was angry in her heart, fortunately, everyone present could be regarded as her own people, no one would take such a thing seriously, otherwise what would people think if it was spread out? You are a princess and let the grassland people kneel on the ground and call you Your Majesty, I think this is the rhythm of rebellion, even if you are still a blood relative of Your Majesty, so Tie Yunshuang spoke in time and interrupted these few ignorant elders.
As a result, when these elders saw Tie Yunshuang's scolding, their whole people trembled even more in fright.
There was also an old patriarch who was stunned all of a sudden.
The other elders didn't dare to rescue them at all, so they had to keep kneeling on the ground and admitting their mistakes.
Fortunately, Yan Xuelan didn't care about it at all, these people didn't know, and they didn't understand that they were also cleaning up, so there was no need to worry so much.
Then she asked the old patriarch to wake up, compared with the few who stumbled to speak, the old patriarch spoke more clearly, and it was a target that could be seriously discussed.
After the old patriarch came to his senses, he spoke the Central Plains official dialect fluently.
When he was young, he also traveled to the Central Plains, and he still has a certain understanding of the Central Plains.
also knows the difference between the emperor and the princess, but even if there is a difference between the two, he can't afford to provoke them, they are both big names in Beiyan. When someone fingers down, their little sheep's tongue clan will turn into ashes.
