Chapter 35: Take the initiative

It is already spring in March, but the spring in this land, but the performance is not so obvious, the swallows of spring carry the breath of spring of the south wind, in the air shuttle back and forth, everywhere is full of their murmuring sounds.

With the arrival of this spring swallow, the severe cold of winter gradually disappeared, the snow quietly melted, and the biting cold wind eased.

First of all, the snow on the slope of the rising sun is melting, slowly revealing the yellow-black ground, the snow water moistens the soil, soaking last year's hawthorn, and the grass roots that have been covered by the snow and hibernate wake up and come back to life, and gradually stubbornly push away the old hawthorn rotten leaves, and grow hard.

At the same time, the seeds of plants and trees that have been swept down by the wind in the autumn of previous years are also wrapped in wet soil, breeding roots and fighting for their lives. The land swept by the spring breeze revealed a piece of tender green spring buds.

Although it was still cold in the shade of the mountain, the power of the cold was gradually exhausted, and the warm snow water in the morning sun flowed down the sloping valley, melting the hard snow layer and breaking through the ice surface of the mountain stream.

Spring came, everything came back to life, and the common beasts that hibernated gradually came out of their nests and began to look for food to feed them after a winter of hunger.

For a time, the mountains and forests were full of vitality, and more and more ordinary beasts began to appear in the mountains and forests, beside the streams, enjoying the warmth brought by spring, and also bringing incomparable peace to this mountain forest.

"Whew-"

Suddenly, a terrible roar resounded throughout the mountains and forests, and that roar came from the overlord of the mountains and forests, the saber-toothed tiger.

After this roar of the saber-toothed tiger, it alarmed the entire mountain forest, and the birds and beasts in the mountain forest seemed to be frightened. They fled in all directions. Shivering, he hid in his lair.

"Whew-"

Followed by. Another tiger roar came, the sound was extremely miserable, as if suffering some great pain, so that the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests avoided the place where the tiger roar came.

Out of curiosity, a fiery fox ran in the direction from which the tiger's roar came, and kept shuttling through the grass, until finally ran to a small stream. Looking through the gap in the grass, I saw a huge tiger lying on a rock by the stream, its eyes seemed to be closed, as if it were not open, its eyelids drooped, and its eyes showed endless remorse.

The tiger's body was dotted with seven or eight arrows, scattered in several of its vital places, and blood continued to flow out of its body, staining the entire rock under its body red.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly. An arrow pierced the sky and flew towards the tiger. The tiger had long since lost its strength, and let the arrows come at him, but there was no way to dodge.

With a muffled "poof", the arrow hit the tiger's forehead directly, and the dying tiger was killed immediately.

When the fire fox saw such a scene, his face was as frightened as earth, and he looked in the direction where the arrow was flying, but he saw a man on a white horse standing in the distance, holding a big bow in his hand, and after seeing the tiger killed, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Suddenly, the man's sharp eyes swept away, and he saw the fire fox hiding in the grass, the man's eyes lit up, and he took out a feather arrow from the quiver bag, opened the bow and arrow, and shot it towards the fire fox, and the whole action was done in one go, without dragging the mud and water at all.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow shot quickly towards the fire fox, and the fire fox was taken aback, it was just an ordinary beast, but it had no special abilities, and its combat power could not be compared with the saber-toothed tiger. So he hurriedly turned around and fled, but unfortunately it was still a step too late, and was pierced by an arrow through the throat, and fell directly to the ground limply, allowing the huge pain to hit it one after another, so that it couldn't help but let out a wail.

Bleeding profusely, it struggled in the grass for a while, then stopped moving, and left this world forever.

At this time, a man in a strong suit ran over quickly, pushed aside the grass, and saw a fire fox that had been shot dead lying in the grass, and when he smiled, he stretched out a big hand, and picked up the body of the fire fox, held it high in the air, and shouted at the strong man who shot the arrow: "Master Hou, it's a fire fox!"

The man was swarthy, athletic, about thirty years old, and underneath two thick eyebrows were deep eyes. As he spoke, he walked over to the man who had shot the arrow, carrying the fire fox.

At this time, another man in a strong suit came over from the side, this person was slender and long, with a sallow complexion, and his appearance was somewhat similar to the archery man, only to see him applaud happily: "Hou Ye is really a magic archery, today he not only harvested a soldier-level saber-toothed tiger, but also harvested a fire fox, I didn't expect this to be just spring, there is such a big harvest." ”

The person known as "Hou Ye" is about 20 years old, with a handsome face, fair complexion, eyes like shooting stars, red lips and white teeth, dignified appearance, and a tall and mighty body, strong and strong physique.

This person is Qin Wuhou Ye Qing, and the war against the Blood Eagle Tribe has not lasted too long, first, the climate does not allow it, and second, the grain and grass can't keep up. The amount of food and grass eaten by hundreds of thousands of troops is astronomical, not to mention that the warriors eat more and better than ordinary soldiers, and in the harsh climate, it is a little difficult to even walk normally, let alone fight.

So after laying down the street, Qin Fei came back with his division, anyway, the strategic goal of this time has been achieved, after more than half a year of war, although Ye Qing's subordinates also suffered more than 300,000 casualties, but the barbarians wanted Qin Wuling's casualties to be mostly large.

In the standing army alone, the Blood Eagle Tribe lost about 500,000 in last year's battle, which is almost more than half of the total number of the Blood Eagle Standing Army, not to mention the sacrifice of about 30,000 Blood Eagle Army, you must know that the Blood Eagle Army, which is one in ten thousand, is only 50,000 in the Blood Eagle Tribe. As for those tribal armies, the losses are even more, anyway, after the whole battle, Qin Wuling's army has eliminated at least millions of living forces of the Blood Eagle Tribe, and the Blood Eagle Tribe, which was originally in an advantageous position, is now slightly weaker than Qin Wuling in terms of military strength, and has no ability to invade Qin Wuling for the time being.

And Ye Qing also took advantage of Qin Wuling's free time from the new army, and took his personal guards out to hunt, so he should relax.

However, Ye Qing has free time, Qin Wu has no free army, although last year's battle was very large at any time, but it also trained a large number of qualified soldiers, especially the garrison soldiers with a large base, at least more than half of the people have experienced the battlefield, and they can be regarded as out of the ranks of rookies, and just transferred a group of people to make up the regular army of millions of people.

......

The scorching sun shone on the white snow of Leilei, and on the snow was Luo Bin's 100,000 cavalry, 70,000 veterans, plus 30,000 "new soldiers" supplemented by the garrison soldiers, and the combat effectiveness did not decrease but increased.

"Sons, in the past, we were all barbarian borders, killing our people, and we were passively beaten. However, today, under the leadership of Hou Ye, the army led by our Qin Wu can also take the initiative to fight against the barbarians, which is a good opportunity for us to take revenge. ”

"In the name of my Qin Wu, fight for my people!" Luo Bin's generals were highly motivated.

"Let's go!"

Although after the elimination of several major battles, the cavalry team under Ye Qing's command was reduced to 600,000, but the combat effectiveness was greatly improved, especially in the collective battle of thousands of people, the barbarian standing army was basically not the opponent of Qin Wuling's cavalry.

Winter is the most unlucky season for the steppe people, and the general tribe does not move around in the same place. Coupled with the new defeat of the Blood Eagle Tribe, the morale plummeted, and it was just the opportunity to rush into the grassland to kill a special one. Revenge, plus the robbery of war horses, cattle and sheep and other materials, weaken the power of the Blood Eagle Tribe, if possible, directly destroy it, and completely occupy this territory, anyway, the current Qin Wuling already has the ability to protect this place.

For more than a thousand years, barbarians have robbed the human race, and the human race has never robbed the people, so the soldiers who went out on the expedition were all highly motivated and vowed to rob well. Let the barbarians no longer dare to harass.

In this expedition, Qin Wuling's army was divided into six divisions, each with 100,000 people, marching together but not far away, and when encountering a large number of barbarians, they could also quickly gather together to defend against the enemy.

"Ho, ho!"

Luo Bin's subordinate soldiers rode their horses and galloped, and hundreds of barbarian tents behind him were burned, and dead bodies were everywhere. The bones of cattle and sheep were everywhere. All were eaten by 100,000 people!

This is a race war, and no one has mercy. Because when these barbarians invaded, the people of the human race were much more miserable than this.

"Blood debts must be paid in blood!" this is Ye Qing's original words.

In ten days, Luo Bin led the 100,000 cavalry under his command to eliminate three barbarian tribes, but these tribes are not large, that is, about 10,000 people each, and there are not many cattle and sheep, and the sum of the three tribes is less than 100,000 heads.

"Report ...... My lord, a hundred miles ahead, I found a huge barbarian tribe, and there were tens of thousands of tents alone!"

When Luo Bin heard this, he was overjoyed and said with a smile: "This must be a prestigious tribe, we should exterminate it!"

Amid the shouts of the earth-shattering shouts, 100,000 soldiers galloped away on horseback.

After walking for dozens of miles, the grassland is open and unobstructed, and a tribal camp can already be seen in front of you.

At this moment, with the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, a barbarian cavalry stepped on the snow.

Luo Bin hurriedly lined up and waited for the enemy to come, just taking the opportunity to slow down his horsepower.

Now in the early spring, the barbarians are busy grazing, breeding cattle and sheep, no news, and they can't imagine that the human race will invade at this time, so Luo Bin killed several tribes, and no one else knows.

This Hun cavalry has as many as 70,000 or 80,000 people, and it seems that it can be regarded as a big tribe under the tribe of Blood Eagle. When they came near, they were also arrayed. Then he saw a man riding out on horseback, and exclaimed, "Who is coming?"
