In the Purgatory Cave Heaven, Yu Zhenyi didn't know how long he had been there.

Every day, he eats meat, and then learns from this big man, he already knows the name of this big man, Gao Xiangyang. The surname Gao is rare, and Yu Zhenyi really hasn't seen a few. It seems that this big man is a barbarian.

These days, in addition to learning, Yu Zhenyi has also chatted with him for a long time.

Yu Zhenyi also knew that the barbarians had so many things.

The way of survival on the barbarian steppe is far more cruel than the change of dynasty in China. Although most of the history is not written, the only way to imagine the old legends is the stories heard in the arms of my father and the songs sung by the singers around the campfire.

Those magnificent psalms filled with blood and fire always begin with a praise of God.

The barbarian god, he had the head of a wolf and the back of a bear, and his pupils were golden in one eye and changing like a cat's eye in the other. They are the sun and the moon, and his feet are the hooves of a pair of yaks, and the wings of an eagle are on his back.

This is the barbarian god, who slowly rotates in the sky with an axe that opens up the heavens and the earth in one hand and a sword that destroys living beings in the other. Every time he turned, heaven and earth were born and destroyed once, and Gu Xuan was embedded in his knife.

The barbarian gods alone favored the barbarians, giving them the eyes of an eagle, the might of a tiger, the acumen of a wolf, and the loyalty of a dog.

And the eagle, tiger, wolf, and dog have also become the totems of the four oldest families of the barbarians, and these four families are called the Golden Clan. In pre-written history, only members of these four golden clans could become nobles, and they held the power of the tribe, and commoners from other families could never touch the power, let alone slaves.

In the midst of conquest and overthrow, population and livestock replaced the family line as the decisive factor in the duel of power, new tribes arose, old tribes died out, and small families of the non-four golden families gradually flourished, but they also quickly became the new "old-style aristocracy", and they still firmly held the power within the tribe.

After Gao Xiangyang came to this world, he only knew the hardships of survival, because the frozen plains where his clan settled had never melted. Although they praise all the ancient gods of the barbarians, they also believe in the Three Sisters Esoteric Religion.

Among the barbarians, only the nobles can live in the grassland.

Ordinary slaves, only living in the cold northern ice fields.

But the object of their most frequent prayers is a god wreaking havoc on the ice fields, a strong, unkillable Megatooth Beastmaster. Because of the scarcity of raw materials that could be used to craft armor, the clan used the materials to forge giant blades to emulate their gods' milky hounds.

Gao Xiangyang's people are known for their strong physical fitness and ability to fight alone.

They have the ability to repel other invading tribes, slay the giant beasts in the mountains, and resist the invasion of the Tang Dynasty in the south. Gao Xiangyang has become a berserk and terrifying warrior himself, but the real test of his strength comes from a special cold night in the depths of winter.

An unusual storm swept through the east, bringing with it icy darkness, and a tall, burly, horned figure, its pitch-black silhouette against the full moon, making it impossible to see anything.

Some of the people in the clan fell to the ground and bowed, believing that it was their brute who stood in front of them

The god of the clan. It is true that the creature is overflowing with ancient magic, but he does not belong to the Ferbarian Clan, and those who bow down are the first to be killed.

The scene in front of him made Gao Xiangyang frightened and frightened. The intruder's brutal ** long sword made him feel a cruelty rising in his heart for no reason. I don't know if it was bloodlust or some other madness that occupied his mind, Gao Xiangyang swung out his fist and let out a roar of challenge.

The dark figure slapped him aside like a bug.

Gao Xiangyang lay in the middle of the pile of dead people, the snow on the ground almost blackened by blood. Just as he was about to take his last breath, the thing walked over and spoke.

Gao Xiangyang wanted to hear the strange ancient words, but as his life passed, all that was imprinted in his memory was the laughter of that thing.

Gao Xiangyang did not die that night. He was reborn in a rage he had never experienced before. He looked to the horizon to the east, and what he wanted was not only to avenge his clan, but also to regain his fighting dignity.

But the plains of his hometown did not give him a chance to take revenge, and the clan left other survivors, none of whom would have survived long if Gao Xiangyang could not find shelter for them. There is the Tang Dynasty in the south, there are frost guards in the north, and the dark figure comes from the east.

And to the west, there are also scholars from the Mingyue Kingdom.

In barbarian mythology, including the lineage of the only barbarian god and his messengers.

The whole sky is the symbol of the barbarian gods, and the Pantar gods convey their will by choosing messengers among the people, who are the lords of the tribes. At the same time as the gods sent messengers, they would also send a wise man to deliver the news of the god's choice of messengers to mortals, and this wise man was the tribe's Hesa.

The leader of the sorcerers in the tribe is called Hesa, and the greatest sorcerer in the whole steppe is called Dahesa, and the lord who Dahasa follows is of course the lord, because it is the most powerful oracle that the gods have told him to follow and serve.

The myth is true, but in most cases, the actual process of the creation of the Great Khazar is completely reversed, and in any era, every tribe that wants to get their hands on the throne of the lord will have a Hasa stand up and claim that the lord he follows is the most powerful messenger of the Pantar gods.

But there is undoubtedly only one of the gods' will, so in the end, "facts often prove" that the Hesa next to the Maharaja of Kulig, who has gained dominance by virtue of his strength, is the closest to the will of the gods, so he is undoubtedly the wisest and greatest, that is, the best choice for the Great Hesa

In the barbarian political system, kingship and divine power have always been one. The aristocracy had a monopoly on both political and religious power, and not only was the head of the religion held by the sovereign, but the shamans who assisted the sovereign in the management of religious affairs could only be selected from among the noble children of the clans with the big surnames in the tribe.

Talented nobles followed the wizard through years of scripture and occult training until the death of his teacher, who could not inherit the title of wizard. The most important of these noble sons is qualified to learn from Hesa and inherit the throne of Hesa, because Hesa is generally not produced by the clan of the tribal lord, so the second most noble position in the tribe is often closely linked to political transactions within the tribe.

Gao Tianyang, obviously, is not a nobleman among the barbarians,

But his strength is stronger than that of the nobles.

He looked at Yu Zhenyi and said, "When you were the real person of the Tang Dynasty, when you went to my barbarian slaughter, I was still a child. At that time, I wanted to come to the Central Plains to have a look. ”

Unexpectedly, after coming, he was imprisoned in Wudang Mountain by the real people of Wudang Mountain.

Yu Zhenyi was a little puzzled: "Zhenren Yanyang has killed so many barbarians, don't you hate him?"

Gao Tianyang snorted on the ground: "Hate him, hate a fart." Before he came, it was difficult for us slaves to even eat and drink. After he came, all the nobles died, and we had a day to emerge. If it's not him, where can I learn martial arts?"

I see.

Yu Zhenyi really didn't expect that among the barbarians, there would be such a story.

But he will not have the slightest mercy and good intentions.

Historically, several crusades of the barbarians had to slaughter cities in each place they conquered, killing all men and women, leaving only women and men in some places. This was not the only way for the Mongols, but for wars between other countries, where the men of the defeated countries were either killed or enslaved, and the women were divided as trophies.

This is true not only for humans, but also for animals, and it is so bloody and cruel that the males either die in battle or leave all the females behind and flee for their lives. In a patriarchal society, the second sex is property, which is an item with use value.

This is cruel, but it is true!

The barbarians were brave and skillful, but they were not outnumbered enough to absorb the excessive attrition of their soldiers, and they were not strong enough to cope with future rule and effective management.

Therefore, the barbarians used the horror caused by the slaughter to break the courage of the other side to resist. Brutality can provoke strong resistance, but brutality that transcends humanity and the bottom line can easily destroy the message and courage of the other party.

So, the barbarians adopted a more brutal approach than slaughter, which was to slaughter the city. As long as they resist, all men, women and children will be killed, and the city will be leveled.

If there is no resistance, only adult men are killed, women and children are left, and artisans are left. The fear of this completely shattered any confidence in resistance, and the barbarian army had not yet arrived, and the entire city had fled. Resist, you may win, but who dares to risk the extinction of the clan to resist.

War horses are one of the key factors in the invincibility of the barbarian army.

Compared with the tall Chinese horses, the Mongolian horses are short and strong, with thick skin and thick hair, and are extremely tolerant, can tolerate the severe cold of minus 40 degrees, barbarian horses can forage in the snow, and the soldiers rely on the mare's milk to satisfy their hunger, which reduces the burden of grain and grass supply.

The tactics of the barbarians such as marching, detouring, interspersing, and deceitful defeat were extremely demanding on the war horses, and even the barbarian horses with endurance could not bear it, so each cavalry usually had four or five spare horses.

The barbarian iron riders are menacing, but there are also respectable people, such as craftsmen.

The barbarians are a nomadic people, so their living standards are extremely backward, but in the process of fighting, they found craftsmen and doctors, so the barbarians basically do not kill these two types of people.

Therefore, in a sense, the barbarians are eager for this kind of talent.

Unless it's a killer.

The big battle that Yanyang Zhenren experienced was like this.

That's why he broke through the realm and then slaughtered the barbarians.
