The elders of the steppe tribes would quarrel for three days and make a decision to recruit warriors from each tribe, and when they had absolute superiority, they would gather and destroy the transport team first, and then assemble to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the students to drive the enemy out of the prairie.

In order to avoid the two countries from sending troops, they also helped the students to think of a lot, and sent rangers to block the news, and no one was allowed to enter the two countries from the grassland, in order to delay it as much as possible.

There is no shortage of wise men in the Council of Elders, the high priest elected by the tribes together, in the name of the wolf god, called for a joint army, 100,000 elite cavalry to expel the soldiers, the victory is only the length of time, and after the introduction of Cuihua and Sunset, it will be difficult for the Council of Elders to control the dominance of the war, and the tribes will seek their own perfection at that time, and the union will immediately disperse, which will only become the source of manpower and materials needed for the tripartite war.

Before the two countries learned the news of the construction of the city, they drove Duguying and her students out, and the three countries had no excuse to expand the war. The grassland left behind by the wolf god is sandwiched between the great powers, and it is time to show the sharp claws and let the greedy enemies understand that the heirs of the wolf god will never give up the position of the master of the grassland. ”

The old high priest raised the wolf's head scepter and stood up tremblingly, his face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were not cloudy with the old man's, he looked around at the elders with a sparkle of light, and spoke like a chant: "The water of the Qinghe River is formed by countless streams, and the humble grass weaves a vast grassland, and the warriors of the one hundred and eight tribes throw away their past grievances and gather under the banner of the wolf god, the warrior's long knife will cut off the head of the enemy general, and the war horse of the god will trample the bones of the enemy, and pray that the wolf god will protect your loyal and poor people." ”

"Pray for the protection of the wolf god and let the steppe warriors win a great victory. ”

One hundred and eight tribes, there are only twenty-one elders sitting around the altar, thousands of years of tribal warfare, the prairie can send ten thousand elite tribes but five, sixteen powerful tribes can remain independent for the time being, and the others have become vassals of the big tribes.

The high priest slowly walked down the altar, and walked into the gorgeous tent next to him with the five remaining tribal elders, the simple clothes on his body contrasted strongly with the exquisite furnishings in the tent, and the statue of the wolf god with his head held high on the table seemed to disdain to look at the shabby descendants.

"Honorable High Priest, there is something I want to say, may the wolf god be aware of the suffering of his people, and not bring disaster to the grassland. ”

The six people respectfully bowed to the statue of the wolf god, and after taking their seats, the strongest elder of the fire wolf clan opened his lowered eyelids, the strength of the tribe was respected, the fire wolf clan took the lead in responding to the call of the high priest, the clan sent a team of 10,000 people, and the vassal tribe formed two teams of five thousand people, which was the main force of this joint army, and the chief of the fire wolf was elected as the temporary commander, and the great elder was enough to represent his attitude.

"The prairie and Cuihua and the sunset, separated by forests and deserts, thousands of miles away from each other, can live next to Qinghui, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, the imperial county lord Dugu Ying is the commander, defeating the student soldiers will make her lose her popularity, it is very likely to affect the succession to the throne, how can the ruling prince sit and watch the success or failure, in case of expanding the war, how can the grassland tribes compete with a country, this battle is not to win for us, the son of the fire wolf is in a dilemma. ”

The Great Elder of the Fire Wolf repeated the tone of his chief three days ago, the High Priest closed his eyes and listened, among the other four Great Elders, only the Great Elder of the Green Wolf Clan disagreed: "The Wise Men of the Fire Wolf, Prince Qinghui has ordered the National Standard Battalion to open the soldiers to the border, and we are the enemies of the descendants of the Wolf God, this battle can capture and kill Dugu Ying is the best, it will invisibly help the King of England succeed to the throne, we are kind to it, and we can win decades of stability and peace, the elders of the tribes deliberate and make a decision in the rear, and you repeat the same old tune, you are not afraid that it will mess up the morale of the army." ”

"The King of England has a lot of dealings with your green wolf clan, if he is on the throne, he may be concerned, the other hundred or so tribes in the grassland have no benefit, they will only work in vain, this is still the best situation that can only appear after the defeat of the soldiers, the war situation has been stalemate for a long time, and a war broke out in the Three Kingdoms, think about it, my friend, the name of the British king is not right, I am afraid that the first thing is to provoke a war on the border, what can be faster than a war to divert attention." is also a descendant of the wolf god, no wonder he doesn't remind you that he is really in power, and he will never admit that he joined hands with the enemy to defeat Dugu Ying, and the green wolf clan is afraid that it will be the same as us, and it will end up in the water. ”

"My dear friend, your words are not unreasonable, and we are equally concerned about them. Can't let the scholars build a city in the grassland, the tribes only responded to the call of the high priest to assemble, a long delay without a fight will make people's hearts ripple again, then the secret battle of the tribes will evolve into a more ancient battle, the descendants of the wolf god want to dominate the grassland, it is difficult for the five of us to maintain this delicate and fragile peace, it is better to fight with the scholars, at least than cannibalism. ”

The high priest opened his eyes, since the five tribes were elected to this position, they have been accustomed to quarrels for decades, the will of the wolf god is illusory, and every time the divination has a different result, but this time it was suddenly on a whim, and the divination was three times in a row, and the result was exactly the same, and it took a few days to finally have some eyebrows.

"Great Elders, the hexagram is like a great murderer, the meaning is obscure, I deduce that there are sword soldiers, the situation of the tribe will take a turn, what is the outcome, the wolf god will take care of himself in the dark, and will not watch the people let the enemy extinct. ”

Xuebing and the grassland tribe have their own scruples, the two battlefields do not have an expected big battle, both sides are accumulating strength, the intention is very clear, with a decisive battle to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop, the tribe does not want to use cavalry to attack the fortification to bear too many casualties, Xuebing according to Mei Ying's deployment, the battle is to subdue, can not accumulate too much hatred.

On the south bank of the Qing River, at the edge of the forest, an army of tens of thousands of people marched day and night, and the troops were tired after more than ten days of rapid marching, and the more difficult thing was that the food could not keep up, most of the wild vegetables and meat were eaten every day, and the pack horses gave priority to carrying arrows, and there was no habit of learning soldiers to eat rice noodles, barbecue, broth, and wild vegetable balls, and they felt fresh after eating for a few days.

The weak body of the head of the standard camp is draped in armor, his eyebrows are twisted into a group, the face of the swallow wind and the guards who led the way is even more ugly, the ten-day trip let the mire swallow nearly 100 people, and the guards who led the way are difficult to get rid of the blame, the swallow wind tried his best, walked at the forefront every day, and almost suffered a catastrophe several times, but there were always people in the rear team who were lucky, and they didn't care about taking a few wrong steps during the march, so they lost their lives in vain.

There is no road at the edge of the forest at all, the grass beach is full of quagmire, Gao Yuan just listened to Xingxia say that war horses can pass, forgetting that he is a native of the grassland, with milk tea and meat can maintain enough physical strength, since he was a child, he has lived in this grass beach, where is the danger of the father word of mouth, no matter how detailed it is, it is difficult to understand the difficulties in the meantime, he and Li Changgong are only two people, and they have walked during the day, how can they imagine the difficulties of the march of the army.

"Zifeng, order the army to continue to camp in the same place tonight, and tomorrow the whole army will stretch out the formation and march during the day. "The head of the standard camp had no choice but to change his plan, and the danger of marching during the day was greatly reduced, but the possibility of being exposed to the sight of the tribal scouts was greatly increased, and it was difficult to take care of the two, so he could only choose the lesser of two evils.

"My lord, if the steppe scouts discover the whereabouts of the army, Takagaki will fail in his plan, and the enemy will not wait for us to rush to the rescue of the transport camp. Please give the Guards one more chance, and we'll line up and make a way for the army. ”

Saving soldiers is like fighting fires, delaying a day's journey, the transport team will be more dangerous, the principal is not to blame, but Yan Zifeng's aristocratic honor does not allow him to give up the task.

"Captain, I have a bold idea. Ouyang Biao patted Yan Zifeng's shoulder and suggested to the head of the standard camp: "Tonight, the army will continue to advance, cross the river at dawn tomorrow, camp on the river beach, organize the elite scouts of each standard team into several teams, and mix them with the masters of the guards, leave the army for dozens of miles to sentry, change into the clothes of witch soldiers, take the initiative to attack the small tribe, and divert their attention from the river beach area." ”

"That's right, the squad attacked, the elite soldiers went on a safari, and ate the enemy scouts, so that they thought that the Cuihua witch soldiers took advantage of the fire to loot. ”

Several standard commanders expressed their approval, and most of the captains of the escort brigade were disciples of the side branches of Yanfu, and they talked to each other in a low voice for a while, and one of the captains spoke out in support: "My lord, some of the guards have been to Cuihua with the caravan, and they can speak a few words of local dialect, and two people are added to each team, and the tribe definitely doesn't want to be attacked on both sides, so we just want to explore the truth." ”

The head of the standard battalion nodded to Ouyang Biaochang, and looked at Yan Zifeng again: "Order Lingbo's various standard guards to line up to explore the way for the army, and everyone is connected with ropes to minimize casualties." ”

Yan Zifeng led the order to leave, and the principal arranged a standard commander: "The elite soldier safari suggestion is good, but it can't be hidden for long, the art of war is false and false, the real and the false are indistinguishable, the ranger is fifty miles away from the army, you take the cavalry of each standard to patrol away for thirty miles, put on the appearance of a rapid march to rescue the Chinese army, and attract the attention of the grassland people, if nothing is expected, the grassland will divide the troops to deal with you, then pretend to be invincible, lead the team to cross the Qing River, we will eat him first." ”

At night, the army continued to advance, with the faint starlight, trekking the river beach, swallow wind with a rope wrapped around his waist, the guards were each one step apart, divided into three rows to explore the way, from time to time someone exclaimed that they fell into the quagmire, fortunately there was a rope around the waist involved, finally no one died, but the army slowed down again, only out of fifty miles in one night, according to this journey, it would take more than ten days to be parallel to the transport battalion, the fighter plane was fleeting, everyone in the guard was anxious, and finally understood why it was just to lead the way, Gao Yuan and Mei Ying sent elite guards to carry out, this task is related to the success or failure of the entire strategy, more important than killing a few more enemies。

The captain's plan succeeded, the scouts on the other side of the Qinghe River either let the hunt, or stared at the Cuihua witch soldiers who suddenly appeared, and when the first standard cavalry appeared, the news also reached Baji's ears, and the soldiers rushed to help the Chinese army in anticipation, but how much of a role can the first standard person play, it should be the rearguard coming one after another, and at this time, it is impossible to divide the troops to meet the enemy, as long as you keep an eye on Duguying's Chinese army, you don't need to explore, the enemy's reinforcements will appear in front of you.
