Eastern Skyrim

Dawn breaks

The huge camp was filled with echoes and ashes. A dilapidated, bleak and decadent image.

The chaos in the Southern Expedition camp has long since ended, and the fighters of each team have returned to their respective teams.

The statistics of the remaining materials and personnel of the Southern Expeditionary Army have just been completed.

After listening to the data reported by the captains, the leader of the Southern Expedition was suddenly shocked and felt a chill.

On this night, half of their food reserves were reduced, their tents were burned to seventy percent, and most importantly, their bows and arrows were all lost in this time, and there were no weapons to attack from a distance.

The tribal warriors lost more than four thousand, but those slave warriors, because they did not participate in the raid, lost relatively little, only a few hundred.

You must know that those tribal warriors are all elite warriors, professional warriors who have been trained by the tribe hard, and each one is very precious.

Last night's fire also burned most of the fortifications built by the Southern Expeditionary Army, and now it can be said that they are completely exposed to the wilderness, and they may be attacked by the fire tribe's giant crossbow troops at any time.

Although the warriors were now exhausted, the leader of the Southern Expedition still asked the warriors to set off immediately and retreat at full speed.

Because it is no longer a question of whether you can retreat in time to prevent being dragged by the other party.

There weren't many supplies left, and now they weren't enough to consume on the way back to the tribe.

The danger of the annihilation of the entire army was reversed overnight and befell the head of the Southern Expeditionary Army.

The distant sky has just been released.

The gates of the Fire Tribe slowly opened, and an army that was not very large in number, but the strength of each warrior was extremely strong, was now passing through quickly.

This is the gathered army of the Fire Tribe, after last night's counter-raid battle, the Southern Expeditionary Army was dealt a hard blow, especially the destruction of their supplies, making Su Ming and them think that the time had come.

They decided to completely break the confrontation situation and began to take the initiative to attack the southern expeditionary army, and even have a hard-fought battle.

It is to keep them in the camp and continue to weaken them until they are all annihilated.

The long procession had completely left the city and began to march on the wide plains. In the front is a tribal knight riding a two-horned horse, in the middle is a phalanx of two-horned crossbows, and at the back, there are brave men who follow a large group of subordinate tribes.

They lined up in a tight battle formation, and marched towards the camp of the Southern Expeditionary Army, pushing away.

But as soon as they had lined up and started marching, they hurried back to report that the other side had begun to retreat at full speed.

Immediately, Su Ming and the others immediately changed their strategy and directly pursued the battle, expanding the results of this battle as much as possible.

The two-legged cavalry unit stepped forward directly, separated directly from the four-wheeled crossbow troops and the slower foot warriors, and began to accelerate forward in pursuit.

It was a one-sided massacre, and their pursuit continued into the night, when the two-wildebeest had to stop because they were not adapted to the night march in the hills.

And in order to prevent the Fire Tribe's army from catching up and dragging the entire Southern Expeditionary Army, the leader of the Southern Expedition kept leaving slave warriors behind to block them to slow down their pursuit.

In order to obtain these slave warriors and be able to desperately block the enemy's attack, the leader of the Southern Expedition made a promise to all the slave warriors who remained.

As long as the southern expeditionary army can safely return to the Tooth Tribe, then he will be the master to pardon their families, let them get rid of the status of slaves, and become civilians and free people of the Tooth Tribe.

Nothing else is said for the time being, but the credibility of the Tooth Tribe, in the area it rules or can influence, is still very secure, and everyone still believes it.

And the slave warriors who received the promise also believed in the promise they made, and when it came to stopping the Fire Tribe, they really did their best to treat death as home.

Blocking the pursuing Fire Tribe warriors, when facing such a powerful enemy, they can only use their meager flesh and blood to launch a decisive attack on the Fire Tribe warriors again and again.

Only when they were all dead in battle would the Fire Tribe's warriors be able to continue their march and embark on the path of pursuing the Southern Expeditionary Army.

Batch after batch, they were fearless of death, and constantly used their flesh and blood to delay the pursuit of the Fire Tribe warriors.

Because those slave warriors who stayed behind knew that the warriors of the Fire Tribe were powerful, and they were not their enemies at all.

Therefore, in order to effectively slow down the fire tribe's pursuit, when they launched an attack, they put their main target on those feet and horses.

This caused a lot of loss on the Fire Tribe's two-horned horses.

Without the assistance of the two-legged horse, the pursuit speed of the Fire Tribe slowed down, and in the end, the distance between the Fire Tribe and the Southern Expeditionary Army became farther and farther.

After the sky completely darkened, the leaders of the Southern Expedition were still marching, and the countless torches burning in the dark night, like a giant long snake, kept winding forward all the time.

And it was only after seeing these torches that they found the retreating Southern Expeditionary Army.

In the end, it was a step too late.

Yagang sighed silently in his heart, and then went directly to meet the leader of the Southern Expedition, and reported to him in detail what he had learned.

The leader of the Southern Expedition was also taken aback after listening to the report of Yagang, but then he felt a burst of happiness.

Ignoring the temporary exhaustion of the tribes, he hurried all night until midnight before camping and resting, which can be regarded as a correct choice, at least the voices of complaining have disappeared.

The leader of the Southern Expedition did not dare to stop, and the remaining warriors were not those slave warriors, but all freedom fighters in the tribe, they were the cornerstone of maintaining the rule of the tribe, and it was his responsibility and obligation to bring them back safely.

And the leader Lie and the tribal warriors also pursued hard all day. Especially every once in a while, a group of death squads that stayed behind suddenly appeared and launched a desperate attack on them, which was even more difficult.

After all, terrorists and the like are so annoying that they can't beat you, but they can keep disgusting you.

Although the tribal warriors quickly said that these death squads were eliminated, the two-horned horses of the Fire Tribe also suffered heavy losses in the continuous raids.

Now they have to dismount before each battle, and then meet the enemy in close foot, because this is the only way to solve these troubles efficiently.

However, after doing so, it still seriously slowed down their pursuit speed, making the distance between the two sides farther and farther away, and there would be no better result if they continued to pursue.

Moreover, the two-horned knights they pursued were now only more than 500 people in total, and it can be said that they have separated a lot from the foot warriors and giant crossbow troops in the rear.

So after a day of pursuit, when they were camping and resting, Su Ming and the others decided after communicating with each other that they should accept it now and prepare to withdraw their troops and return to the tribe at dawn tomorrow.

This battle was also brilliant, at least it wiped out more than half of the soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army, which can be regarded as a pain in their hands, and it well publicized the majesty and strength of the Fire Tribe.

This time the Southern Expeditionary Army was not completely annihilated, and in this regard, Su Ming and the others could only sigh, and they had to admit that the Southern Expeditionary Army's ability to escape for their lives was really good, and they ran really fast.

But they don't want to think about it, the other party is running with their lives, and they are not the same as them in pursuit.

When the Southern Expeditionary Army first came, there were more than 30,000 people, but at that time, the battle flags were all over the sky, and the neat team was mighty, imposing, and high-spirited.

But now, the soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army walking on the forest road are all depressed, physically and mentally exhausted, and embarrassed.

Moreover, their number is only less than half of the original, and the slave warriors who came out are now all left behind, dying on the battlefield.

But with the death of about 10,000 slave warriors, enough food was left for the remaining warriors to support their return to the tribe.

This time, the leader of the Southern Expedition really saw the ferocity, bravery, and cruelty of the Fire Tribe.

In the future, the leaders of the Southern Expedition are afraid that they will never attack this side again, even if they want to continue, but their soldiers will not agree, this can be said to be their nightmare, entangled in their hearts is not dispersed.

Maybe it could be changed in a way, for example, through trade, in exchange for metal weapons that the tribe is lacking now, and it is also highly operable, after all, they have been trading weapons before.

The leader of the Southern Expedition on the road suddenly flashed such a thought in his mind.

It seems that after going back, it is necessary to persuade other high-ranking people in the tribe to send an envoy to the Fire Tribe, first resolve the contradiction this time, establish diplomatic relations with it, and draw the dividing line between the two sides to avoid the next conflict.

After all, after this war, the leader of the Southern Expedition no longer had any hope of conquering the Fire Tribe.

It also raised its strength and status to the same height as the tooth tribe, and the two sides exchanged equally.
