Before the burning embers of the tent were completely extinguished, the barbarian cavalry who had come to the aid had already set foot on the camp, and the bowl-sized horses' hooves had lifted the bald turf, and the corpses of the steppe people were everywhere on the ground, and not a single Yao man was to be seen.

Whether it was the light cavalry breaking through the pass or in several large and small battles with the Jinju state army, they had never seen such a brave and good fighting Yaoren, with hundreds of foot soldiers scattered two thousand people to kill a thousand commanders, and then left in a dashing manner, the people who fled back said that these Yao people will make demon magic, and the arrows shot over do not have many results, and the swords and spears do not seem to help.

The small but extremely muscular samurai, clothed in the fur of a snow wolf and a heavy black coat, sat upright on the back of his horse with his waist straight, and quietly looked south, and the continuous refugee procession suddenly accelerated, and most of them entered the city, even if it was too late to send men and horses to pursue it.

This southward movement was dominated by a few large tribes on the grassland, with the small tribes as vassals, and the distribution of looted property was also based on the strength and strength of each department.

The warrior on horseback is the largest lord of the grassland, and has been dominant in the northern grassland for more than 20 years, but it is still not old and decrepit.

Many people know that the most powerful man on the grassland is nothing more than a slave girl, and his father, who is a lord, has a sudden burst of sexual prowess.

According to the rules of the grassland, the youngest son will inherit his father's tent and cattle and sheep, and Dun Mao is the youngest son, but his background is extremely low, although half of his father's blood is shed on his body, but any slightly powerful nobleman can knock him to the ground and stomp on his face with riding boots, and Dun Mao's father does not punish those people in the slightest while watching coldly.

The three brothers who were older than him looked at Dunmao from the perspective of brothers, and the three who were still fighting openly and secretly found a common enemy, their father was no longer very young, and he was already a long-lived old man who could live to half a hundred years on the grassland, plus the injuries that fell in the early years of the war, and it was a matter of the past few years.

The three brothers of Dunmao were all people who held a part of the authority, and he was only a slave-born lowly race, and even the monthly allowance was the least, and as a prince with only a few companions and servants, none of the nobles favored him, and they all put their bets on his brother.

None of them, however, noticed the ambition of the diminutive slave cub, who did not have the wealth of his brothers to buy iron weapons and armor, but there were two things that the poorest of the steppes had, bows and arrows.

He made a kind of arrows called the Ming Di, and trained 300 slaves, teaching them to shoot arrows in the direction of the Ming Di, and suddenly shot their beloved horses with the Ming Di arrows, and some of the slaves who did not dare to shoot were beheaded, and then they shot their wives with Ming Di arrows, and some of them deliberately shot crookedly, and were trampled to death by the horses' hooves in sacks.

Later, when his father and his brothers went out of the tribe to hunt yellow sheep, he shot arrows at the four people, and the arrows of the remaining hundred slaves pierced the four people and four horses into hedgehogs, and the nobles died in an instant, and only one person was left in the blood of the lord, and he killed the nobles who did not obey him, and finally stepped on the bones of his father and brothers, and sat on the high seat of the lord he dreamed of.

Dunmao's ruthlessness for his relatives did not extend to the herdsmen and slaves, perhaps because he also had half of the slave blood on his body, and Dunmao, as the sovereign, was one of the few tribes in the grassland that could treat slaves and herdsmen well.

But the leniency of these people did not mean that Dun Mao was not a great man, and he announced to his tribe's slaves that he could redeem his own freedom and that of his relatives with his military exploits, and even that he could even rank among the nobles, with a population, cattle and horses, and pastures.

This caused an uproar on the steppe at the same time, the slaves in the Dunmao tribe also went crazy, this is an opportunity that has not been seen in the steppe for thousands of years, and most of the slaves became the people of the defeated tribes and the herdsmen who had no cattle and sheep pastures and sought refuge in the great nobles. In the eyes of the aristocracy, slaves were not so much human beings as human animals, and they did not eat as much as cattle and horses, but as long as they had a mouthful of food and did not starve to death, they could survive to the death.

In the past, most of the battles fought on the steppes were still how many men on horseback, and the armored cavalry was usually only affordable by the nobles, and although the life of a slave was not worth the money of a few bundles of oats, he was not willing to be sent to the sword of the cavalry to die so plainly. Therefore, when the lords of the neighboring tribes heard that he had a whimsical idea to form an army of pure slaves, they laughed at his stupidity.

Trying to use the dirty hands of slaves to shake the majesty that these tribes had accumulated over generations would at best make the men's knives blunt at the end.

Far beyond the expectations of these tribal lords, when the cavalry of their tribe rushed to the team composed of those slave cubs with great force, the seemingly vulnerable slaves actually withstood the impact of the cavalry and did not break away, the temptation of freedom is something that these slaves who have struggled between life and death for too long are things that they have to pursue at the risk of their lives, and the death of their companions can only make these slaves closer together.

More important than the blood and courage of the slaves, he learned from somewhere that the southerners had the ability to form a cavalry with foot soldiers that was difficult to gnaw iron, and riding on foot had always been their exclusive possession, although they did not have exquisite machines and shields and crossbow arrows, the combat power of these slaves still shocked every lord of the steppe.

After annexing two large neighboring tribes, Dun Mao made good on his promise to the slaves who survived the war, and many of the defeated tribes' population, cattle, sheep, and pastures belonged to them. The nobles did not pay much in the conquest, but they also shared a considerable amount of wealth.

For a while, he was regarded as the greatest lord of the contemporary grassland by the people in the tribe, especially the former slaves, and the voice and power of the tribe were so great that they faintly overwhelmed all the lords.

"Lord, several Yao people who were thrown down revealed that the hundreds of people who came to relieve the siege were Yao's warriors, and their combat power was not comparable to that of ordinary herdsmen. "The camp is full of people from the tribe of Salha, whose lord has been slain in the rebellion. ”

The unruly black steed was as tame as a sheep under the control of this dwarf man, and the fierce boy stallion had recently kicked a slave to death with his hind hooves.

Salha has a population of more than 10,000 people on the grassland, and it is an insignificant small tribe on the grassland, and now it is the strength of the whole clan to take out 2,000 horses, and the remaining hundreds of people and horses have no lord, like a herd of horses without a head horse, and now they are first put into the hands of a commander under the tent of Dunmao, otherwise it is not a good thing to let these people wander in Jinju.

Behind him were hundreds of heavily armoured guards, metal rings of armor and tough leather on the outside for protection, and the cavalry were even armed with hand and face armor, and even the horses wore robes embellished with armor. The shape of the long cavalry lance did not seem to be made by those rough craftsmen on the grassland, and the cavalry in full armor was armed from head to teeth, as fierce as a fierce beast, and it was hard to imagine what kind of iron flow such a cavalry would gather into when it charged, and no foot soldier could stop such a charge.

The nobles wanted to use the plundered wealth to find the merchants of the Yao people to buy gold, silver and silk, but the Dun Mao did not add too many cavalry or better equipment to the slave team, but used the messengers to exchange furs and horses for excellent craftsmen and iron materials in the territory of Dayao, and secretly built this heavy cavalry that has not appeared on the battlefield so far.

The cavalry of the steppe people has always pursued light cavalry maneuver, and suddenly armed this heavy cavalry with no more than 1,000 people, but it cost more than five ordinary thousand people, and the real combat power has not been really confirmed, but the common light cavalry of the steppe people is as weak as a child in front of these cavalry.

Only the toughest slaves and pure-blooded horses could carry such heavy armor, and most of them were warriors.

For a long time, the Yao people have formed a foot formation with a frame and shield, with a strong bow to restrain the light cavalry of the grassland people, and in the face of the rain of guns and arrows such as a forest, the cavalry of light armor can only tear a hole in the infantry formation at the cost of great casualties, which is an indisputable fact that the battle in the spring of this year should be proved.

The cruel winter on the steppe and the ensuing spring famine did not cause a devastating blow to his tribe, but still damaged their vitality, the first time the tribes of the steppe formed an alliance to go south did not ask for much benefit, this year's famine exceeded the worst plan of all the lords on the steppe, and it was a near-no harvest in the autumn, and there were not many lambs and calves, and the hungry steppe people turned their bloodshot eyes to the south.

However, this time they still need to face Da Yao's infantry formation, the heavy cavalry cannot be formed overnight, and Dunmao cannot do such a thing in just a few months from this spring to so far.

Ten years, as early as ten years ago, as the lord of the grassland, he began to think hard about how to deal with the Yao people's foot formation, but with his strength alone, far from being the enemy of the entire Dayao with a vast territory, the famine made the grassland people put aside their old grievances and unite together, so he suddenly took the winter of his forty-nine years old, and finally took all the people of the tribe to break through the yellow sheep and enter Jinzhou.

His ambition is .... The territory of the sixteen states of Dayao
