Just now, there were as many as five thousand barbarian infantrymen, but in the face of the charge of the five hundred Red Armored Cavalry, they were defeated in one blow.

Five thousand warriors died instantly, with more than two thousand killed.

Under that terrifying flood, any resistance seemed so weak.

Similar scenes had been played out countless times on the battlefields of these days.

The number of warriors who died under the Red Armored Cavalry alone was no less than twenty or thirty thousand.

The so-called one-man army was just like that.

It was also because of this elite force of soldiers that, on this side of Hexi, although those Zhou people only had fifty thousand elite soldiers and about a hundred thousand civilian workers, their military strength was much weaker, but they did not fear in battle.

Not only did they not go to guard the city, but they also led their troops out proactively to fight against the enemy formation.

But strangely enough, those Zhou people, who were at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, were the ones who suffered when they really fought.

Two hundred thousand warriors could not defeat the opponent’s one hundred and fifty thousand men.

The huge gap between reality and expectation was hard for Wuzi and Qingyan to accept.

They subconsciously overlooked the fact that the so-called “warriors” in their tribes were actually just herders who tilled fields and raised horses, and there was not much difference essentially between them and the farmers who were temporarily conscripted by the Zhou people.

At most, the barbarian herders were just a bit braver, but the Zhou village braves had better weapons, armor, and discipline, making it hard to say which side was stronger.

With such troop quality, the Zhou people had fifty thousand elite troops and were supported by a hundred thousand village braves, and their strength was not inferior to the barbarians.

Qingyan stubbornly believed that the reason why the other side was so strong and why they hadn’t been able to gain victory was because of the Zhou’s Red Armored Cavalry.

It was with this powerful cavalry that the Zhou people could resist their assault.

As long as they could defeat or hold back this cavalry, relying on the warriors they had at their disposal, they would definitely be able to break through the Zhou people’s defenses, conquer their cities, loot their grain, wealth, and women, and achieve victory in this war.

Qingyan firmly believed this.

So, facing Wuzi’s anger, having received the reply from the Hulan Tribe and learning that the Black Armored Wolfriders were on their way, his heart was filled with confidence.

The Hulan Tribe’s Black Armored Wolfriders were also composed of powerful warriors, and the strength of the soldiers within was not inferior to the Red Armored Cavalry.

Although their numbers were smaller, with only three hundred riders in total, it was enough to hold back the Red Armored Cavalry.

As long as they could hold back the enemy, Qingyan would be able to lead the warriors and defeat the Zhou army that dared to block their way, and then turn around to eliminate the hateful Red Armored Cavalry.

“I hope so.”

Just as Qingyan was imagining victory in his heart, Wuzi heard his consolation, calmed some of his anger, turned his head back, and sighed slightly, “The remaining food in our tribe can only last us for another month at most.

But now our pace of plundering Hexi is being blocked here.

If we can’t quickly break through the Zhou army we’re facing, our tribes will face the crisis of starvation in just one more month.

By that time, both our tribes are destined to fall.”

The expression on Qingyan’s face turned ugly when he heard this.

The reason they had been so eager to come down the mountain, mobilizing every adult male in their tribe, was that there was no more food in their tribe, and they had reached the point where they had to fight to get it.

But now they were being held up here for nearly two months.

For two months, they hadn’t made any progress.

And the food in their tribes was almost running out.

If they couldn’t achieve a breakthrough and steal enough grain from the Zhou people, the fate of Wuzi and Qingyan’s tribes would definitely be grim.

It would be normal for them to be wiped out directly.

“We must win, we have to win.”

Qingyan turned to look at Wuzi, with flames seemingly burning in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said every word with determination.

At the same time that their war was underway and the two were talking, high on the snowy plains, one tribe’s tent after another moved slowly to the north and south.

These migrating tribes formed a stream of people, gradually approaching the direction of the Zhou Country.

Just like the Wuzi and Qingyan tribes.

All the barbarian tribes in the great snowy plains, in order to survive, had begun migrating at this time.

The Hulan Tribe and the Tiel力 Tribe were only the vanguards, followed by the Zhenyan Clan and the Duosi Clan, both part of the Four Kings.

In addition to the Four Kings and their vassals, there were also a large number of tribes that had heard the news and swarmed to join them from various places.

Above the vast snowy plains.

Tens of millions of barbarians had gathered to form a torrent, now as unstoppable as the great flood of the previous year, pouring towards the Zhou Country.

For the Zhou Country, this was also a disaster in which they would survive if they could resist, but die if they could not.

The war fought for the right to survive was only just beginning.

…

Thunder rumbled, and the summer rain began to fall.

It was already April, and while the Zhou Country was fighting fiercely in the north, Lu Yuan, thousands of miles away, received news from Xichuan through the divine thoughts of his avatar, Huang Xuan.

“Snow Plains Nomads descending the mountain to attack and plunder the villages and towns at the mountain foot?”

After receiving Huang Xuan’s report, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but be stunned.

Those who lived on the high plateau, who virtually had no interaction with Xichuan County, suddenly came down the mountain, even appearing as though they were preparing to invade and plunder.

This sudden incident was somewhat unexpected for him.

At the same time, it made him think of the terrible war going on in the Zhou Country to the north.

Could it be that Chu State was now about to experience this disaster as well?

With this thought, Lu Yuan was startled.

“Investigate, have someone investigate immediately.”

He connected with Huang Xuan’s divine thoughts from thousands of miles away and gave him orders.

“Also, immediately call up the troops to eliminate the barbarians who have come down the mountain. At the same time, set up strict defenses at important passes, and do not let them come down the mountain.”

Lu Yuan made arrangements.
