An hour later, the soldiers bandaged their wounds, took the food and water they had prepared, and reassembled themselves to set off on the road.
The beautiful grassland is full of dangers. After all, it has just experienced several battles between Xiliang and Beirong. Wherever it goes, there are corpses everywhere.
Blood dyed the golden grassland red, and countless severed limbs and corpses were buried deep in it.
The further they walked in, the more corpses they saw. It was easy to tell from their clothing that they were soldiers from Xiliang and Beirong.
But one thing is strange, they never encountered Xiliang's army.
According to common sense, Huo Ji should have received the news of Luo Qi's attack on Beirong long ago, but along the way, they did not encounter it.
Cao Ge vaguely felt that the reason was closely related to Su Zhen, but he also felt that his idea was outrageous.
No matter how evil Su Zhen is, she is still a human being and not a fairy.
What's more, they didn't hear that Huo Ji's army was ambushed or had any other mishaps along the way.
The Beirong defense route map in Xiao Chuhong's hand clearly pointed out all the dangerous positions and even drew the march route of Xiliang.
The shortcut they took was smooth and the scenery was beautiful. If they were looking around, they would have thought they were here for sightseeing.
Before they sent out the troops, they were still terrified, fearing that a large army would appear to ambush them. However, when they got deep into the hinterland, not only did they not see a single soldier, not even a single wild animal was found.
Since arriving at Beirong territory, Xiao Chuhong has been extremely patient and allowed them to rest several times along the way.
Li Jiu, Cao Ge and others do not think this is a good thing. The situation of the battle ahead is unknown. The longer it is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be to them.
At noon, they stood on the top of the mountain and looked down at the Beirong Kingdom, which had been captured by Xiliang soldiers.
After months of fighting, the Beirong tribes had already been completely captured. Looking at their dilapidated camps and the thousands of soldiers who were still fighting back, they couldn't help but feel sad.
At the same time, I have to admire Huo Ji's skill in using troops and his strong fighting power.
The Beirong are a fighting nation, born with immense strength, and are extremely familiar with every plant and tree on the grassland.
The location of the Beirong tribe allowed them to advance and attack, and retreat and defend. They had the right time, place, and people.
Even so, they were still beaten back by Huo Ji, and the remaining soldiers and generals were at the end of their strength.
Xiao Chuhong was sitting comfortably on the cliff, with his left leg arched and his right leg hanging on the edge of the cliff, throwing a black ball up and down in his hand.
Suddenly, he smiled maliciously, injected demonic energy into the ball, and threw it towards the Beirong tribe.
'boom!'
The Beirong soldiers were trying their best to resist the defense. Suddenly, there was a loud noise in their ears, and their bodies were suddenly torn apart and blackened.
The ignited flames immediately extended in all directions.
The Xiliang soldiers were startled and looked around, but found nothing strange.
"Quick! Go and report to the general and military advisor! There is an enemy attack!"
"yes!"
Xiao Chuhong looked at them in a hurry and finally smiled.
"Li Jiu! Cao Ge!"
"The end is here!"
"The end is here!"
"Give me the order and set off immediately!"
Cao Ge: "Ah?!"
Li Jiu: "."
"You two have bad ears? Do you want me to repeat it again?" Xiao Chuhong asked in a swishing voice.
Cao Ge bit the bullet and asked: "General, Xiliang's million-strong army is stationed below. Aren't we going to die if we go down there? And General Su may not really be here."
"Don't let me say it a third time!"
This stubbornness is exactly the same as Su Zhen's.
"I will obey your orders!"
Li Jiu and Cao Ge took the order and turned around to convey Xiao Chuhong's order.
Beirong tribe.
The war that lasted for several months has made Beirong Kingdom in danger.
Huo Ji seemed to hate them. In every battle, he would not leave a single person alive, including prisoners, and would kill them all, hoping to avoid future troubles forever.
Compared with Xiliang's army traveling through mountains and rivers, Beirong could send troops faster and there was no need to prepare supplies. But who would have thought that in the end the entire army would be wiped out and no one would survive.
The Tamu tribe is the largest tribe in the Beirong Kingdom, and Tamuxun is the king of the Beirong Kingdom.
Compared to the weak and incompetent leader of the Southern Wilderness, Anaye, Tamuxun's methods are much more vicious.
A few years ago, the grassland tribes were divided and each had its own affairs.
Until Tamuxun killed his father and brother, and rebelled to seize the throne.
After he took the position of leader of the Tamu tribe, he directly attacked the largest tribes.
Night raids, poisoning and setting fires, and all kinds of underhanded tactics are endless.
The remaining tribes were caught off guard, and their leaders and relatives were all killed.
Anyone who disobeys will be quartered by five horses.
He unified the Beirong grassland in a very short period of time.
Tamuxun was a tyrant, but he was also a qualified monarch.
During his reign, he taught various tribes how to smelt iron, make paper, legislate laws, grow food, and popularize knowledge.
He built a group of completely uncivilized 'primitive' barbarians into an indestructible army.
It was this legion that, every winter, due to insufficient food production, massacred the people on the border between Luoqi and Xiliang and plundered supplies wildly.
Their brutal methods originated from Tamuxun, but what they did was even worse.
Luo Qi and Xiliang sent troops to encircle and suppress them several times, but their soldiers were not good at fighting in the grasslands and suffered repeated defeats, which only encouraged Beirong's arrogance.
The hatred between the two countries and Beirong has been brewing for decades and did not happen overnight.
Unexpectedly, the country was eventually destroyed by Huo Ji.
Tamu tribe.
‘Boom——’
‘Squeak’
After several months, Huo Ji finally led his army to attack the gate of Tamu tribe.
As the heavy door was pushed open, a glorious scene inside was revealed.
The Beirong were a nomadic people who moved frequently, and the grassland soil was thin, so they were not suitable for building palaces. However, in this magnificent palace in front of them, countless rare treasures were piled up like mountains, which really blinded their eyes.
The young general at the head was wearing crimson armor, with bravery and righteousness in his eyes.
The man in green shirt next to him looked elegant, holding a silver-gray curved bow with a moon-like shape and a simple and unpretentious appearance. In his hair, there was a hosta with strange patterns engraved on it.
On the far left is a woman wearing a red dress. Her face is beautiful and exotic, just like a wealthy flower in the world.
Behind the three of them was the million-strong Xiliang army brought by Huo Ji.
Sitting on the throne was a man with a rough face and a tall figure. He lowered his head, and the blood spurted from his neck splashed all over the floor.
The wound penetrated and was fatal in one blow.
Tamuxun, the last king of Beirong, committed suicide!
Huo Ji's eyes fell from Tamuxun's wound to the bronze sword on the ground. He lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time.
until
"General Qi! Luo Qi's army is attacking!"
Huo Ji turned back suddenly, his eyes seemed to be full of blood: "Kill!!!"
