Chapter 19: The Decisive War
The decisive battle was coming, and it took a full month for the orcs to fully receive the weapons sent from the Terrans. During the month, they also conducted a whole team drill, although they were not completely satisfied, at least not a rabble.
Haoji Geri and the others were in high spirits, looking at the overwhelming army of 100,000 under their command, and felt that as long as they killed the barbarians, they would definitely be able to defeat them in one fell swoop.
The barbarian side did not sit still, and was also preparing for the ongoing war.
The archer troops of the white elves finally arrived from the Gugit Canyon, and the Kromie patriarch was also ruthless, and the white elves, who only had more than 4,000 people, sent 1,500 archers, both male and female elves. Each wears their characteristic delicate curved bow, which is as powerful as the dwarven bows and arrows.
This will be a killer weapon on the barbarian side, and Zhangxiong Gyatso deliberately asked the Kromi clan to lead the archer troops, closely following his cowardly team, ready to be used as a surprise soldier.
Speaking of the Cowardly Xue team, it has been a long time since there has been any mention of Solang Gongbu. As a companion who played with the Zhangzhung Gyatso brothers since childhood, he grew up no worse than Zhangzhung Dorje. Now he is tall and strong, and has become a mighty man, and his commander has expanded to two Jiala and 3,000 cowardly Xue teams, and his combat effectiveness is amazing.
The Cowardly Xue team are all brave men carefully selected from the barbarians, and once the banner masters such as Lagjian participated in a battle with the Cowardly Xue team. In the case of the same number of people, except for the army of the Zhenghuang Banner, which was able to barely tie with the Cowardly Xue team, the other eight banners such as the Zhengbai Banner were all defeated. This shows the strength of the cowardly Xue team.
It's just that in the previous wars, when the cowardly Xue team was not used in the end, their prestige has not been able to be demonstrated. In this decisive battle, Solang Gompot and his men held their breath and obtained Zhangxiong Gyatso's permission. He will definitely kill the battlefield in person, so that the beast alliance side can take a good look at who is the most elite army of the barbarians.
As the head of the barbarian bloodline shaman, and the head of the beast soul shaman, Chagan Nuri Shaman, after several negotiations, it was finally unanimously decided to merge the two shamanic systems to form the shaman line of the Golden Horde. to assist Zhangzhung Khan in teaching the new forces within the clan.
They also received the blessing of Zhangxiong Jiacuo Immortal Spring Water, and the Beast Soul Shaman was like a treasure, so they deliberately captured a few violent bears and lions on the grassland, and selected ten talented beast warriors to assist them in obtaining the power of the beast soul. Unexpectedly, the chance of success was less than one in a thousand before, but because of the immortal spring water, nine people achieved success. This opened up a broad road for the beast clan to improve their combat effectiveness. It can be expected that the beast clan will play a more important role under the command of Zhangxiong Gyatso in the future.
Originally, Zhangxiong Gyatso was still a little hesitant to improve the strength of the beast clan. But when those warriors obtained the beast soul and became the beast soul warrior, he found that on his silver glow tree [which can also be called the Heroic Spirit Tree], the heroic spirit fluctuations of these beast soul warriors appeared again. Just like giving the barbarian bloodline warrior the sequelae of madness, he can deprive him of his abilities at any time if he wants to. This reassured him and brazenly agreed to the request of the Chagan Nuri shamans to cultivate beast soul warriors on a large scale.
This battle is too important, and everyone knows that it will be the key to determining the rise of the barbarians. Therefore, even if there is still a knot with Zhangxiong Khan, those elders who have been taken away from military power and can only retire in the tribe have rushed from the Tulun wasteland one by one, regardless of the long distance.
The three elders of Chisong, Desong, and Gongga, together with several other elders, met with Zhangxiong Gyatso, although they had no military power, they still brought a large number of cattle and sheep to reward the army, and one by one they were excited to express their blessings to Zhangxiong Gyatso, wishing the barbarian army to win a complete victory this time, and truly lead the barbarians to rise and recapture the steppe that has been lost for hundreds of years.
Dolang Quga and Tuden Gejie were the most high-spirited, they were the first to take refuge in Zhangxiong Gyatso, so although they also had no military power, they gained a lot of power in the Golden Horde, and followed Solang Dunzhu to preside over government affairs.
With Lang Duoya's connections, even if Dolang Quga is a gentleman, Zhangxiong Gyatso deliberately can't see his shortcomings, as long as he has a little ability, he will let Solang Dunzhu arrange for him to take over some rich affairs. As for Tuden Gejie, he can bend and stretch, follow the former shepherd slave Dan Duoji, and manage hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and livestock in the Golden Horde, and his rights are even heavier than before.
This time, the two of them brought a large amount of salt, grain, livestock and other materials needed by the army with the entrustment of Solang Dunzhu and Teng Douji, so that the barbarian army had no worries and made every effort to deal with the upcoming war. γ
It can be said that for this decisive battle, the entire barbarian tribe moved, including all the beast tribes that took refuge in it.
Manduratu's son, Arslen, returned from the Terran border with the last of his weapons, and he was almost caught by a Terran patrol this time due to the recent storm on the border. Fortunately, there was a thrilling return, and Mandu Ratu was worried about his son, so after consulting Zhangxiong Gyatso, he was ready to let his son not have to go out for the time being. At the same time, after hearing the news from the Beast Soul Shaman, he personally begged Zhangxiong Gyatso to let his son participate in the plan of the Beast Soul Warriorββββ Arslen did not awaken the power of the Beast Soul when he was young, and it almost became his heart disease. Even though he knew that he was too big and had little hope of awakening, he was still ready to let him try.
For Mandu Latu, who was the first to take refuge, Zhangxiong Gyatso still needs to be taken seriously, so naturally he will not object, and even deliberately provides Arslen with more immortal spring water for this purpose, so that he can increase the chance of obtaining the power of the beast soul. As for whether it can be done or not, it depends on their luck.
After all parties were assembled, they would not sit idly by, and Zhangzhung Gyatso gave the order, and the army began to march deeper into the steppe. As for the scout sentinels, they naturally had already been scattered in advance.
The first to make contact was naturally the scout troops on both sides. Listening to the suggestion of the white elf Chromie patriarch, he deliberately added the archers of the white elves to the scouts, with these sharpshooters, in countless scout battles, the warriors of the beast clan suffered a big loss, and often before the two sides began to contact, they were shot off the horse one by one.
In the end, the orc scouts were terrified when they saw the white-haired elves from afar. Since the white elves had hardly appeared on the prairie, it was the first time for the orcs to see this race, so they called it the [White Devil], and before the war began, it caused a lot of panic.
This is just a scene on the battlefield, and it will not have much impact on the overall situation, and the orc army is also setting off in the direction of the barbarians, and their 100,000 people are well-equipped and full of confidence. It was decided that this time we must teach the barbarians a lesson and let them know who is the overlord of the steppe.
