The reason why Xingxing Lake is called Xingxing Lake is because it is the place where the lakes are most distributed on the Gulang grassland, on a grassland of less than 10,000 square kilometers, there are hundreds of lakes scattered all over the place, like stars, and the surrounding water and grass are abundant, so this place is named Xingxing Lake.

Further west from here, there is the vast desert, the seven parts of the sand tutu back then, that is, after all the hardships, through the vast desert to the Gulang grassland, Xingxing Lake is the first habitat they entered the Gulang grassland.

In the past two years, the seven divisions of the Shatu have been unfavorable, more and more declining, initially the seven divisions of the Shatu and the Wuli internal strife, the strength of both sides was greatly damaged, and then the ebony department took refuge in the Black Corn people, leading the wolf into the room, the seven departments of the Shatu and the remaining six and the Black Corn people fought again, after the defeat and loss, all the seven divisions of the Shatu took refuge in the Black Corn people, and under the prodation of the Black Corn people, they wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in the Han Empire to take Baishi Pass and then invade Ganzhou, but they did not expect that their strategy had already been seen through by Qi Yun Governor Yan Liqiang, and the 50,000 elites of the Seven Divisions of the Sand Turf were finally killed in the Baishi Pass by Qi Yun to supervise Yan Liqiang's urn, and Yan Liqiang killed no one left。

After experiencing so much civil strife and turmoil in a short period of time, the Seven Divisions of the Shatu have already suffered a great loss of vitality and are no longer what they used to be, but at this time, the arrival of the killing of Hu Ling is like stabbing the already weak and wheezing body of the Seven Divisions of the Desert Seven, and then stabbing a few more times, chopping off the hands and feet of the Seven Divisions of the Desert.

Once said in the Gulang grassland the seven tribes of the sand tutu suddenly became the prey of countless rangers and militia groups of the Han Empire, many small and medium-sized tribes were wiped out in just a few months, even if it is a large tribe, the same nerves and bones, every day people disappear for no reason, the entire sand tutu seven tribes suddenly became a frightened bird, as a last resort, the originally scattered sand tutu seven tribes, in order to survive, had to gather again and retreat to the star lake, those nobles in the sand tutu seven are still hopeful, I hope that this time, the star lake can be like a few decades ago, to bring good luck to the sand tutu seven, so that the seven departments of Shatu who are in danger can recuperate here and survive this catastrophe.

This time, Yan Liqiang led the troops out of the customs, and the Shatu Seven Department had already received the news, these days, watching the army led by Yan Liqiang all the way towards Xingxing Lake, the Shatu Seven Department had no good way, and took the initiative to send a large army to meet the enemy far away from Xingxing Lake, the Shatu Seven Department no longer has the courage and courage, and let the army led by Yan Liqiang rush directly to Xingxing Lake, completely passive to meet the enemy, it doesn't seem to be a way, a dry Shatu Seven Department of high-level consultation to discuss, and finally chose a relatively compromise and safe method- Just when Yan Liqiang and their army were still hundreds of miles away from Xingxing Lake, they sent 40,000 troops to take the initiative to raid today, wanting to catch Yan Liqiang and their army off guard, if they could win in a battle, it would be the best, even if they couldn't win, they could also touch the details of Yan Liqiang's army and teach them a lesson, at least they couldn't let the Han army's army rush to their noses all the way eating hot pot and singing, in that way, I am afraid that before the two sides start the war, the morale of their side will fall to the bottom.

Why is it 40,000 people, because these 40,000 horses are more than half of Yan Li's powerful military horses, they have an advantage in numbers, they can act quickly, and at the same time, they are not afraid of those Han rangers and militia armies around Xingxing Lake, and then take a step back and say, even if 40,000 people suffer a little loss, the men and horses sent can quickly withdraw to Xingxing Lake, and there is still backup here.

The 40,000 troops who were pinned on great hopes left Star Lake to go on the expedition, and a high-level cadre of the Seven Departments of the Shatu was waiting for the news in Star Lake with hope, and in the end, what everyone didn't expect was that what they were waiting for was a bad news that made people chill to the bone marrow!

......

"Impossible...... How could an army of 40,000 be killed by more than 20,000 Han people, even if it was 40,000 sheep, it would be able to run back a few......" In a big tent in the center of Star Lake, Ge Dan, the patriarch of the young Ebony Tribe, stood in the big tent, his face was pale and roared, the whole person was already hysterical, and his hands waved meaninglessly in the air," Impossible, absolutely impossible, Shaug is not a reckless person, even if they are frustrated, most of them can run back, those Han people's army is less than 30,000 people, how can there be more than 10,000 archers......"

Ge Dan's father is the former patriarch of the Ebony tribe, Ugusa, since Ugusa was killed, Ge Dan has also become the new patriarch of the Ebony tribe, and has won the trust of the Black Corn people, because of the support of the Black Corn people, now Ge Dan's status in the seven tribes of Shatu is the same as the previous Uli tribe patriarch Surdan.

At this moment, in this big tent, except for Ge Dan, almost all the high-level figures of the other Shatu Seven Divisions are gathered here, but the high-level figures of the Shatu Seven Divisions at this time are almost all new faces, and those old and spicy characters have died one after another in the last year or two, for various reasons, after killing Hu Ling, the heads of many nobles in the Shatu Seven Divisions are more valuable, and there are a large number less, and those who are still left at this time can still gather in this big tent, almost all of them are "newcomers".

Take the first tribe of the seven tribes of Shatu as an example, since the death of Surdan, he cleaned the Surdan family in the Uli tribe, led the surrender of the Black Karma people, and became the patriarch of the Uli tribe, and in the battle of Baishi Pass, Nigu was shot by Yan Liqiang, and then the Uli tribe was in chaos, and the successor to Nigu's position was another elder named Durgai in the Uli tribe, but Durgai did not sit in the position of the patriarch for a few days, after the killing of the Hu order was issued, Durgai's head was on the special list of killing the Hu Ling, because his head was worth 5,000 acres of grassland, and then a few days later, Durgai was in his tent, and was taken off by a ranger of the Han people, The current patriarch of the Uli tribe has become Heba, a man in his thirties who was originally unknown among the nobles of the Seven Tribes of Shatu, with cunning eyes and a lewd face, and at this moment he bowed his head in the big tent, his eyes turned around, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

There was a strange silence in the big tent, and everyone felt a chill to the bone, and some people were even shaking, and their faces were colorless.

No one spoke, everyone hoped that the news was fake, and the news that came one by one made everyone fall into the abyss, the first to come to the news was the scouts sent by Xingxing Lake, those scouts put on Han clothes, dressed as Han rangers and went out to spy on the news, went to six groups of people, more than 20, and finally only three came back, and the news brought by the three people was the same, the 40,000 troops they sent had been completely wiped out by Qi Yun and Yan Liqiang, and none of them came back alive.

After the news of the scout came, the last of the seven tribes of the Shatu, the condor of the Zhuo La sacrifice, which could still drive his natal spirit bird, flew to the battlefield before sunset, and all the sacrifice saw was the bones of the 40,000 soldiers of the seven divisions of the sand tu on the battlefield......

If there is no accident, Shaug should have sent someone back to Star Lake to report on today's battle, however, none of the 40,000 troops have returned.

No one could answer Godan's words, and the air in the tent was as if it were frozen.

Ge Dan gasped in the tent like a wounded wolf, his fierce eyes swept over one face after another, and finally stopped on the face of Heba, the leader of the Uli tribe, and asked unceremoniously, "Heba, you are the patriarch of the Uli tribe, you say, what are you going to do with the current situation?"

Heba, who was named, shrank his head, raised his head to look at Ge Dan, whose eyes were red, and said cautiously, "This...... Didn't the Black Men say that we should drag the Han army at Xingxing Lake, and they would send men and horses to fight the Han army with us, this ...... Shall we get in touch with the Capricorns and see if their army has arrived?"

It's okay not to mention the Black Karma people, as soon as the Black Karma people are mentioned, the corners of Ge Dan's eyes twitched, yes, when they contacted the Black Corn people before, the news that Prince Taimiba asked people to bring was this, but now so many days have passed, and the Han army is about to rush to Xingxing Lake, the Black Corn people still have no movement, and they haven't even seen a single hair, with Ge Dan's understanding of the Black Corn people, at this moment, Prince Taimiba, may be hiding his identity somewhere in the camp of the Black Corn people, while beware of another strong Han man rushing to pick his head, while waiting for the news that the Han people and the Seven Parts of Shatu are both defeated, it is best to be destroyed by the other side, which is best for the Karma, and then he comes to clean up the pieces......
