The afterglow of the setting sun cast a crimson glow on the horizon, where several horses galloped across the open plains. The horses ran very fast and were panting heavily from exhaustion.
The man on horseback was in the same state; his hair and beard were disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot.
The hands gripping the reins were frozen stiff in the cold winter wind, and they could only hold on by sheer willpower to keep from letting go.
"call--"
Qin Ze removed his mask and exhaled a heavy breath.
Since receiving the letter from Xijing a few days ago, he had already decided to send troops to Xijing to meet the Tu Yuan army.
However, the journey was too long, and it would take an unknown amount of time if he brought a large army with him. Therefore, he could only choose to travel light and lead a few generals on a solo journey.
The Northern Liang army was then handed over to Yue Fei.
Before setting out, he followed Huo Qubing's advice and chose not to reveal his whereabouts, taking as many hidden paths as possible, naturally to prevent the leakage of intelligence.
Along the way, Qin Ze led his small number of cavalrymen almost day and night to Xijing.
Besides Huo Qubing and Dian Wei, he was accompanied by seventeen Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, an elite squad.
Thanks to the fact that they had been traveling along secluded paths and no one had noticed them, they had finally arrived in Xijing after several days of trekking.
And the place they were in at that moment was the battlefield where the Tu Yuan army had fought against the Xijing resistance army.
However, there are no living people left on this battlefield now, only corpses scattered all over the ground.
Most of them were corpses of the Xijing resistance fighters. They died tragically, their bodies were not buried, and their broken corpses were covered with wounds. Their wide-open eyes were filled with resentment.
This place has become a hellish place.
Seeing these people who had died tragically, Qin Ze's eyes grew colder, and the anger that had been building up in his chest began to rise, making his body feel hot.
“This…this is a child!” Just then, Dian Wei, who was standing to the side, said, looking at a corpse.
Qin Ze looked in the direction of the sound and saw a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old. He lay quietly on the ground, his eyes wide open and dull, having lost all vitality. But even though he was dead, he still held a sickle in his slender hand.
Those were farming tools for harvesting rice; now they are his weapons for protecting his home and country.
Qin Ze dismounted, walked to his side, knelt down, and gently touched his face with his hand, closing his eyes.
"Whoa—"
Just then, Huo Qubing rode up on horseback, his face flushed and panting heavily.
"My lord, it's not over yet!"
"Three miles from here, the Tu Yuan Kingdom is fighting the people of Xijing! That's the final battlefield!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ze stood up, his gaze as cold as ice.
Before my eyes were the constantly fluctuating points.
In just a few days, it has already reached over 90 million!
Now it's time to use the points!
Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Ze opened the system shop and began to exchange for an army!
As the shop panel appeared in front of Qin Ze, all sorts of ancient soldiers came into view.
Qin Ze's gaze swept over the Qin elite soldiers, tiger and leopard cavalry, and Beiwei Army, and finally landed on another five-star troop type.
This type of soldier is extremely ferocious!
[Five-Star Unit: Mongol Cavalry]
This was a cavalry unit historically commanded by Genghis Khan.
They are physically strong, adaptable to the needs of various battles, and able to endure hardship and harsh weather conditions. In this winter, on this cold battlefield, there is no more suitable type of soldier than the Mongol cavalry!
With this army, Genghis Khan was invincible not only in Asia, but also in Europe!
This feat is unprecedented and will likely never be repeated!
This is an army that can only be described as "terrifying"!
An ancient saying goes: "After conquering the two rivers, the land was scorched and deserted for thousands of miles. The palaces of Yanjing were magnificent and unparalleled in history. The Tartars were terrified and dared not look up at them. Later, they were also burned down by the soldiers, and the fire did not go out for more than a month."
The ferocity and killing intent of the Mongol cavalry were unparalleled in the entire history of China.
"For thousands of miles east of the two rivers, the people were almost wiped out. The Jin dynasty swept away all the people, including their children, cattle, sheep, and horses. Houses were burned down, and cities were reduced to ruins."
Wherever they went, cities were destroyed, people died, and not a blade of grass grew. Even after several years, the destroyed cities were difficult to restore.
The Mongol cavalry—this is an unparalleled weapon of slaughter! Infamous throughout the world for its killing prowess!
Thinking of this, Qin Ze grinned, revealing a cold smile.
The Tu Yuan Kingdom is known for its conquest and plunder, so let's see what happens when it encounters an army equally famous for conquest and plunder!
Those who kill my people will pay a bloody price!
Having determined the troop type, Qin Ze began to inspect the warhorses.
This time, he didn't choose an ordinary warhorse, but instead opted for a Mongolian horse.
Compared to the warhorses that are usually exchanged, Mongolian horses are shorter and slower, but they have one characteristic: they have thick skin and are extremely resistant to the cold!
Even if the speed is reduced, so what? In this freezing weather, these miniature horses are the perfect choice!
In frigid weather, these ponies are not slower than ordinary horses!
Combined with the Mongol cavalry, they were not only capable of fighting, but also of fighting for a long time and over a great distance!
—Exchange for 250,000 people! 250,000 Mongolian horses! Equipment for 150,000 light cavalry! Equipment for 100,000 heavy cavalry! Provide a template for Mongolian cavalry!
Light cavalry equipment consists of a helmet, armor, and weapon set. Including population, template, and warhorse, the total score is 291 points.
