After entering the grassland, they would kill anyone they met on the grassland and leave no one alive.
The news must be blocked as much as possible.
Soon the scouts ahead reported back.
"Your Highness, a tribe has been discovered thirty meters ahead.
This tribe has at least 2,000 people, over 100,000 livestock, and countless war horses..."
Ye instantly became alert.
"Have you investigated the surrounding area? Are there any other tribes?"
“No, each tribe has its own range of activities and territory.
The entire ranch belonged to them.
If other tribes come to graze their cattle, it would be equivalent to encroaching on their property, and they would definitely start a war."
"Great, this is very beneficial to us! All scouts, patrol the surroundings to prevent anyone from breaking in. Once discovered, kill them on the spot.
We will each lead 5,000 men and surround them from all sides. We must not let a single person escape."
"good!"
The group set off quickly.
Half a quarter of an hour later, they launched an attack together.
The herders in the tribe still take a nap at night.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of fierce horse hooves, and before I could react, the butcher knife had already chopped off my neck.
Set all the tents on fire.
The awakened people fled in a hurry.
I want to take my weapon and join the battle.
Some people ran desperately to the stable, wanting to ride a horse to fight.
Some people also wanted to seize horses and escape from the city to seek support.
But they never imagined that Ye had already anticipated this situation.
First, a cavalry unit was sent to capture the stable.
Even if you are lucky enough to pass, you will die.
In an instant, the tribe turned into a living hell.
They ran around in panic, and were hacked to death after taking a few steps.
I tried my best to escape, but I couldn't find the right way.
Tens of thousands of people strangled a tribe of more than 2,000 people, and the battle was over in less than a quarter of an hour.
Ye said coldly, "Take away all the good war horses and kill all the other livestock.
Everyone finished off the enemy to prevent anyone from surviving.
Only gold, silver and valuable jewelry are allowed to be taken away; nothing else is allowed.
I'll give you half a quarter of an hour to quickly clean up the battlefield."
One group of soldiers was responsible for keeping watch, one group was responsible for collecting money, one group was responsible for finishing off the enemy, and the last group was responsible for killing the animals.
Anything that cannot be taken away will be destroyed and never left to the enemy.
After doing all this, continue to the next tribe.
Lei Zhan's face was full of excitement, he finally got back the feeling of being a bandit.
The key point is to focus on killing the enemy without any psychological burden.
“This battle was well fought, and we captured more than 5,000 war horses.
It's a pity that we have too few people and cannot bring back a large number of livestock. It's such a waste.
Otherwise, it won’t be enough to feed tens of thousands of people for a long time.”
Ye said, "Don't worry, this grassland will belong to us sooner or later, and we can raise as many cattle and sheep as we want.
We in Dayuan will no longer lack meat.
This loss is nothing.”
"Your Highness, don't listen to his nonsense!
We are at war now, and carrying too much supplies will seriously affect our marching speed," said Lei Ying.
"Brother, why do you always criticize me? I'm just saying it.
I don’t really want to take all the livestock away.”
"I've told you several times before, be careful what you say in front of His Highness.
If you behave so unruly all day long, how will you lead troops to fight in the future?"
Ye advised: "Although Lei Zhan is a chatterbox, he is very reliable in everything he does. There is no need to dwell on such a small matter.
Joking around at this time can relieve a lot of stress."
Lei Zhan was overjoyed when he heard this: "It turns out that Your Highness knows me best.
I'm a person who only cares about talking, but I'm never vague about serious matters."
The army wiped out four tribes in just one night.
The largest one has more than 4,000 people, and the smallest has more than 5,000 people.
Everyone has changed their horses.
Some even ride two horses.
Ye's ideal situation is at least one person and three horses, which not only allows him to transport more supplies, but also allows him to take turns riding horses all day long without stopping.
Even if the enemy got the news, they probably wouldn't be able to catch up.
The first night went extremely smoothly and everyone was extremely excited.
Even at dawn I didn't feel very sleepy.
They all talked about how many enemies they had killed and how much money they had looted.
Half of the stolen money will be handed over, and the rest will be distributed to each person according to their merit.
It’s only the first day, and everyone can learn a lot.
This is the happiest thing for them besides fighting.
The news that one could get rich by following Ye to fight had spread throughout the village.
The first time they joined the official expedition, they verified the rumors.
At first, I felt a little reluctant to kill people, especially when I had to protect the secrets and even spared no children.
Someone on the spot shouted, "Don't think these are just children and will become elite cavalry when they grow up.
They still rode on their horses and picked up their butcher knives to kill our people.
If you don't want your descendants to die at the hands of these people, get rid of them.
After hearing these words, he killed the man without hesitation.
Having gotten used to killing, my heart has become much harder.
They are no longer ordinary herders with the surname of Qi, who only see the enemy."
Ye led his men to hide in a low-lying area, let them eat dry food and drink water, and take the time to rest.
I can only sleep for half a day and continue to attack the next place.
Time is extremely tight.
Slaughtering more tribes can significantly weaken the enemy's strength.
Killing too many tribes would make them feel distressed and afraid.
Next time I send out troops, I will never dare to send out all the troops.
A large number of elite troops must be left behind to protect themselves.
This would be equivalent to weakening their combat effectiveness.
They brought with them barbecued meats for war preparation, some of which were horse meat, some were beef, and some were mutton.
After being smoked and dried, it can be stored for a long time.
When you go to war, you can take a few pieces with you and they will keep you full for several days.
Just eat a few bites of meat and drink water and you will never feel hungry.
We rested immediately after the meal and continued our march at noon.
Visibility is better during the day, making it easier to find the enemy.
But it is also easy to be discovered by the enemy during the day.
The army of 20,000 people is extremely large and can be seen from afar at a glance.
It’s just that the people of the tribe didn’t expect that the Dayuan army would dare to attack the grassland.
When I first saw it, I didn't take it seriously and thought it was my own army.
"Your Highness, there is a large tribe of more than 10,000 people ahead.
The tribe still has troops stationed there, should we attack them?"
Without hesitation, Ye said, "Let's just fight. Since we can't hide it anymore, let's do something big.
Inform the lower ranks: if you encounter an enemy, shoot them directly with crossbows and end the battle as quickly as possible."
After saying this, he took the lead and personally led an army to kill Guo Dian.
This tribe is very large, and they are also barbarian nobles.
They sent an army to fight with the king, had a very high status, and occupied vast fertile grasslands.
Life is very comfortable.
Especially this time, when we send troops to invade Dayuan, we will definitely be able to bring back a large amount of supplies.
The tribal leader is happy every day, waiting to get rich.
