Many of the nomadic herders in the northern steppes can be classified as "barbarians", which is not because Luo Ming harbors any discrimination against them, but an indisputable fact.

It has nothing to do with race, but the pot of the living environment.

The so-called orange is born in Huainan is orange, born in Huaibei is orange, and the living environment often determines a person's character, vision and even fate.

No matter how civilized a child is, if he is raised by wolves in the wild, he will definitely become a savage. And if a barbarian baby grows up in a city and is raised by a literate person, he will most likely become intelligent and clever.

Unlike the semi-sedentary herdsmen in the Luoming Territory, these nomadic herders could not have developed a high level of civilization due to their wandering lives, and their cultural and moral standards were far behind the times.

If they want to develop, they must have a male lord to unite them and establish a more stable and advanced social system.

Or they were subjugated by outsiders and forcibly incorporated into a relatively mature ruling order.

If they don't, they will continue to live a life far from the mainstream, and it will be difficult for them to make much progress.

They usually trade amicably with caravans - as long as the caravans are strong enough to protect themselves, they may tolerate even if the caravans haggle and raise prices and take advantage of the situation.

But if the caravan is too small to show enough strength to defend itself, they will feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they will rush to it.

"When you go out into the wild and something like a piece of meat without any covering, it's completely exposed, and finally the dog comes and eats the meat. So who is to blame? Is the dog to blame, or is this bare meat to blame?

The problem, of course, is this piece of bare meat. If they had brought enough men and weapons and were on guard, those incidents would not have happened. ”

Such a statement was recorded by a certain traveling poet, a famous quote from the grandfather of a nomadic tribal chief.

They should not even be condemned in terms of morality or anything - they live in a world that is completely unrelated to the concept of morality, and if they have to say, they should probably be treated with the attitude of "beasts". Respecting or even surrendering in the face of the strong, and taking a bite in the face of the weak, is a survival method that is incomparably in line with the natural conditions of the wild.

Fortunately, Luo Ming told the group of the caravan to save their lives first, and the rest of the things were secondary.

When they found out that the nomads had bad intentions and were unable to resist the nomads' attacks, they voluntarily abandoned the cart of goods and fled desperately back.

Although a few of the caravan were injured or even killed, most of them still retained their fighting strength, and the nomads would have to pay a lot of casualties if they wanted to hunt them down.

Rather than risk casualties to chase them down, it would be better to take the cart of goods that had been picked up for almost nothing and pull them down—that's probably what they thought.

It was because of such a decisive decision that most of the caravan managed to escape.

Otherwise, if the people of the caravan had to protect the goods, it was unknown how many of them could escape under the pursuit of the nomads, and the goods would still not be able to be saved.

Of course, the success of this operation itself also reflects the short-sightedness of this tribe.

Of course, without enough cultural atmosphere, it is difficult to raise people with a long-term vision, and occasionally a few talents will be produced, and the wisdom of an old fox will be exercised in life practice, and it is difficult to get rid of defects such as narrow vision.

It would be short-sighted for the caravan to abandon its cargo and flee without pursuing them.

Let go of the caravan and hope they will bring goods next time? Paplov's dogs were not so stupid. Even if the caravan comes over next time, it will definitely bring more people to protect the goods without leakage.

Another possibility is that the escaped caravan will hold a grudge and bring in troops to ask for it, or hire some mercenaries to come and ask for trouble.

As a nomad, are you still afraid that others will be able to escape in front of you on horseback with two legs? If you chase and kill the caravan, you don't need to rush forward and kill it, but put a few cold arrows far away, and then chase them behind, and the mental burden alone may drag the caravan down.

In short, letting these caravans go, they are really asking for their own hardships - that is, providing Luo Ming with some convenience.

If no one in this caravan escapes back, even if he wants to send troops to retaliate, it will be difficult to find the right place immediately, maybe the tribe will move away directly when Luo Ming is searching for them, and he will escape far away, so that he will not be able to whip it up.

Now it's different, the caravan has fled back with so many people, and it will definitely be able to lead the way smoothly. In such a short period of time, even if the other party escapes immediately, the footprints and ruts of so many people will not be wiped out by time, and they will always be able to catch up.

Catching up is sure to catch up, but how to deal with them, facing this problem, Luo Ming fell into thought.

The enemy he had to face this time was different from all the enemies he had ever encountered, and he had nothing to do with the imaginary enemy that Luo Ming had provided to his soldiers.

Rollin's soldiers had fought monsters and ordinary humans, and the imaginary enemy he had given to his soldiers was the heavy cavalry of the Earl of Mount Conle.

And this time, among the enemies he had to deal with, there were quite a few light cavalry.

Although they were both cavalry, there was still a big difference between the functions of the light cavalry and the heavy cavalry, as well as the way they fought - the light cavalry would not do anything to charge the infantry, and even after seeing Luo Ming's infantry phalanx, most of them would not fight him head-on.

flank harassment, attack on the logistics line...... Luo Ming's forces at hand are not afraid of frontal combat, and he is even eager to defeat the opponent head-on. But when it comes to this method, it will feel more tricky.

Even if the other party just escapes, it is very troublesome, Luo Ming does not have enough cavalry on hand, relying solely on infantry pursuit, the speed is limited after all, if the other party flees from the wind, it will be a big trouble.

If you go deep into a strange grassland, you may even get lost, run out of food and water, and even the Iron Army will be finished.

If we do not solve these problems, we may suffer a big loss if we rush to send troops. Even if you can win in the end, there will be too many unnecessary losses and sacrifices.

Faced with this kind of question, he decided to ask someone who knew how to do it.

Grandi is counted as half, Dungar is also counted as half, and in addition, Aya, who only has knowledge and has not practiced, can also be counted as half...... That's a half.

Three stinkers top one Zhuge Liang. Now there are only one and a half, but those nomads don't look like well-trained armies, without a wise leader, and they can almost be leveled.
