Li Xiang knew that many of the prairie nobles who surrendered only pretended to surrender. They surrendered like Xiliang because they had no way to contact the tribes and armies outside.
If they were allowed to contact the troops outside and their herdsmen, they would definitely rise up to resist because this is the holy land of the Qiang people and one of their Qiang strongholds.
They can summon millions of people at will!
Therefore, Li Xiang was still very wary of these people. When these people went out, they were followed by soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters. The leader of the Ji Mo Sect in the sky also stared closely at the senior officials on the ground.
If these grassland people still want to resist, he will take action. He does not want to see more killings. The fighting on the ground has passed all night, and now most of the day has passed.
The water of Lake Baron has been dyed blood red, and corpses are stacked on top of each other.
The surrounding armies suffered sneak attacks and ambushes from the main army, and had lost their combat effectiveness. It was just the high-ranking Qiang people who showed their arms!
At that time, a large number of grassland men will follow him to look back at the Xiliang army. They do not want to be slaves or prisoners.
Because they went south to plunder so many times, they knew the fate of slaves and the fate of captives.
They do not want their family members to become other people's winter rations like those they plundered, working like cattle and sheep in spring and summer, eating less and doing more.
This is a true portrayal of the hard work of those on the grassland. When food is not sufficient, they will serve as food!
Perhaps such a problem would not arise in the south, but as captive slaves, how could they be better off?
Therefore, they do not want to become slaves themselves, nor do they want their family members to become slaves.
But they lack a leader, someone who can lead them to resist Xiliang!
The higher-ups of the tribe are their best choice. As long as the higher-ups initiate resistance, the tribal herdsmen will follow suit.
The leader of the Ji Mo Sect does not want to see the killing continue, so any high-level officials who want to attack the soldiers of Xiliang Headquarters will be in his hands.
"Lord, all the surrounding troops have been wiped out. There are still more than half of the tribes left that have not been defeated, but white flags bloom above the heads of those tribes, wanting to surrender to our army."
The commander of the Xiliang cavalry, who was leading the cavalry on a killing spree around Baron Lake, ran to Li Xiang and said.
Li Xiang led the Flying Bear Army straight to the Holy Land of Balong Lake, and the remaining 50,000 heavy cavalry, under their leadership, launched an attack on the surrounding army tribes.
The surrounding Qiang cavalry had been wiped out by these heavy cavalry, and more than half of the tribes had been flattened by the cavalry. The remaining half of the tribes saw such a tragic scene before them, and they lost the ability to resist.
So they raised the white flag and offered to surrender to Xiliang, but Xiliang did not accept it. They just let them continue to hold the white flag and Xiliang Iron Cavalry patrolled back and forth around their camp.
The Qiang people in the grassland packs were trembling. They saw with their own eyes how the tribes on the other side were trampled by these terrifying cavalry. The people in the grassland packs were trampled over, leaving a bright red puddle on the spot.
mud.
The people in the grassland pack were trampled to death by these cavalry. At the same time, they also saw that the Qiang flag at the highest position had turned into the bloody wolf head of Xiliang.
This shows that their holy land has been occupied by these Xiliang cavalry, and their patron saint has probably fallen to Xiliang's swords and guns.
They are all human beings, and they all have a sense of fear, and the most experienced troops have followed the Great Chanyu to Hylar. The troops remaining around the Holy Land of Lake Baron are all second-line troops.
Most of them were attacked by Xiliang cavalry. After the ambush, the army was broken up and the soldiers fled in all directions.
The only people who are still guarding these tribes are the men left by their tribes themselves, but even if they unite, they are no match for the black iron cavalry in front of them.
The black armor on the opponent's body can effectively resist various long-range attacks. The war horse underneath him is faster than their best horse and is also covered in thick armor.
Such cavalry charge like an ancient ferocious beast. When they charge together, the earth trembles because of them!
What are they using to stop it?
So these tribes raised their white flags and surrendered to Xiliang. They surrendered!
This and the disappeared high-level officials no longer have the energy to care about each other. What they have to do now is how to get Xiliang to agree to their surrender and get Xiliang to accept them.
Otherwise, it is very likely that there will be massacres like the one that occurred on this small grassland from last night to this morning, and the corpses all over the place were dyed red with the blood of Lake Baron.
It's like a purgatory here!
"You should take people to accept those who surrender now!" Li Xiang thought for a moment and said to the commander: "Everything is based on your safety. As long as the other party makes you feel a little dangerous, you can take action!"
The lives of these Qiang people are like ants in Li Xiang's eyes. As long as the opponent's actions or intentions threaten the soldiers of Xiliang headquarters, the soldiers of Xiliang headquarters have the right to attack first.
"We will also send a cavalry of about 1,000 people to surround the surroundings. In this war, many people must have escaped. If you find their traces, explore them first and then come back to report. Do not act without authorization."
The Qiang people must be controlled or destroyed. This grassland will belong to them in Xiliang from now on.
Those fleeing tribes and soldiers are likely to be Xiliang's enemies in the future. He must find out where the other party is and where they are running.
This will make it easier for him to clean up the grassland!
After the war started, the tribes hiding further away received the news and moved the entire tribe out of Balong Lake. The grassland was very large. If they were not afraid of an attack from Xiliang this time, they might be affected.
, none of them will go around Baron Lake.
Now that the Xiliang cavalry have reached Balong Lake, these tribes took their belongings without saying a word and all ran to the northern grassland. Although the northern grassland is not as lush as the water and grass in the south.
However, it is safer in the northern grassland, and the winter temperature will be much better than there. If they can migrate to the barren mountains, their life will become better.
But if they go to the barren mountains, their relationship with the Qiang people will be severed.
Moreover, a large number of tribesmen will be lost during the migration. There are also a large number of other races on the barren mountain side. If they had the choice before, they would never go there.
But now they have no choice. Xiliang has already reached their base camp. Where else can they go?
I can only run over there.
The cavalry from both sides were running on this grassland, and the Qiang tribes that could retreat were migrating and fleeing quickly, because they carried a large number of cattle and sheep, which made their migration speed very slow.
They had to do this. Without these cattle and sheep, they would just starve to death. The cattle and sheep are their food and the basis of their survival.
Without these basic survival skills, what can they do?
The speed of these people was very slow, so the Xiliang cavalry sent out quickly discovered their traces, although they did not attack them, but watched them from a distance.
They only need to know where the other party is going to migrate and in which direction. They all have a rough map of the grassland in their hands.
You can roughly guess where these Qiang tribes are going in the direction they are fleeing.
These Qiang people also saw that the Xiliang cavalry had to follow them, but they had no one to befriend the Xiliang cavalry.
As long as the opponent does not rush to attack them, they will continue to move forward and escape from the area.
When Li Xianghe's army gathered these grassland tribesmen, on the other side of the grassland, a team of more than 500 monks entered the territory of Baron Lake.
These monks came to support the Qiang people. They knew that the Qiang people would be difficult to resist for too long under the attack of the Xiliang army, so they wanted to delay the Chaos World for more time.
The Buddhist sect sent 500 of their people to support the Qiang people. These 500 people were all elites, including five first-rate warriors and the rest were second- and third-rate warriors.
These monks can compete with some of the weaker sects in the Central Plains. If they are really allowed to enter the battlefield, they will bring a lot of casualties to the Xiliang headquarters.
As soon as they arrived around Baron Lake, they could sense the Ji Mo Sect Master in the sky. Looking at those shiny-haired monks, the Ji Mo Sect Master was a little interested.
Now the situation here has calmed down somewhat, but what are these monks doing?
They have never heard that the Qiang people have a relationship with the monks. On the contrary, the Qiang people often have wars with the Buddhist kingdoms under the monks' command. The relationship between the two should be hostile.
So the origins of these monks are a bit curious!
The monks who came to Baron Lake felt the smell of blood wafting from the land. All the monks immediately became alert. Along the way, they saw some injured corpses of prairie cavalry, as well as some who had been killed.
The downtrodden tribe.
This kind of thing often happens on the grassland. The fighting between grassland tribes is no weaker than the fighting between countries and races. If two tribes have deep conflicts, sometimes they will directly kill the other tribe.
Things that were massacred.
So when they saw these corpses and the trampled tribes, they didn't think much about it.
However, the smell of blood from Baron Lake put them on alert. Baron Lake is the base camp of the Qiang people. It has a holy land of the Qiang people and two great masters of the Qiang people.
Such a strong smell of blood came from such a powerful place, which made these monks feel very strange. They could still clearly distinguish the smell of human blood from the smell of those animals.
What is floating in the air is the smell of human blood!
The leader of the Ji Mo Sect immediately informed Li Xiang of the news. After receiving the news, Li Xiang, who was busy at work, immediately led 1,000 flying bear troops and rushed towards the five hundred monks.
No matter what these monks want to do when they come to the grassland, they cannot enter the area around Baron Lake, at least for now.
He didn't want any accidents to happen over Lake Baron!
Boom!
Unknown to the monks, Li Xiang came with 1,000 cavalry to welcome them.
...
The heavy rain in Baron Lake has stopped, but the fighting and heavy rain in Hylar a little further south have not stopped. The Xiliang army here is still fighting with the tribal warriors.
The Xiliang troops held on and used long-range weapons and war machinery to launch a counterattack against the charging prairie tribe soldiers. If the other side retreated, they would continue to be stationed in their own camp, even if the tribe's side was exposed again.
There was a big flaw, and no cavalry rushed out from the camp to pursue it.
They stick to Hylar, the pearl of the grassland.
Also because of the heavy rain, these grassland people had no way to deal with the Xiliang soldiers. The rain was so heavy that their charging speed would be much slower, and there was no shelter from the rain, so they could not think of bows and arrows.
The bows and arrows they hold in their hands are very afraid of rain. In the rain, the lethality of the bows and arrows will be much lower, and the bows and arrows will be damaged.
This was already the fourth day of their attack. Apart from filling up the horse trap outside the Xiliang army camp, they had no other gains.
The Great Chanyu of the Qiang tribe looked at the Xiliang camp that had been unable to be conquered for a long time. He didn't know why. He had been uneasy since a few days ago, as if something very important was about to happen, or some huge change had occurred.
This made him a little uneasy!
Tap tap tap!
In the midst of love and heavy rain, three cavalrymen came running wildly. They were one man and two horses, exhausted. They showed their tokens outside the camp, opened the gate in half and ran all the way to the big tent where the Qiang chief chanyu was!
At this time, the night was already very deep and many people had fallen asleep.
The Great Chanyu was sitting by the fire wearing thin clothes, looking at the formation diagram he had just drawn, when he heard a sound coming from outside.
"Chanyu, there are three scouts from the Balong Lake who want to see you. They said they have very important things to report to you in person!" the soldier in charge of delivering the order walked in and said.
"Let them in!"
Three soldiers who were soaked all over, with disheveled hair, ran in. When they saw the great Chanyu, they suddenly burst into tears.
"Chanyu, Barong Lake is over. The cavalry led by Xiliang King Li Xiang rushed to Barong Lake and started a massacre on the rainy night. Barong Lake has fallen!"
The words of these three scouts were like a bolt from the blue, hitting the great chanyu of the Qiang tribe. He was stunned for a moment: "How could there be nearly ten million Qiang people over there!
I still have more than 100,000 cavalry left there. The cavalry under Xiliang King Li Xiang is only 50,000 at most. Even 10 million pigs can kill them!"'
