Ten days later, Huo Qubing had reached the outskirts of the Tuli tribe.
The Imperial Guard who had been gathering information reported, "General Huo, this place is one hundred li away from the Tuli tribe!"
Huo Qubing frowned, then cursed.
"The grassland people actually dare to station themselves in such a close place. This Liyang Dynasty is too cowardly."
Huo Qubing thought it would take several months of travel to find a Western Rong tribe.
But he never expected to find one so easily.
His eyes were filled with excitement. It was so easy to find people from the grasslands. This world was really fun.
"Pass down the order, and I will lead the White Horse Cavalry in a frontal charge!"
"The others will flank from both sides. Of the 30,000 people in the Tuli tribe, apart from the captured slaves, not a single one will be spared!"
Speed is of the essence in warfare, and Huo Qubing was most adept at raids.
He knew that although the Tuli tribe was backward, they were not stupid and would not wait for him to slaughter them.
What he had to do was to break into the tribe as quickly as possible, before the enemy could react!
The next morning, Huo Qubing received a report from a scout: "We are still ten li away from the Tuli tribe!"
Huo Qubing raised his spear and roared at the iron cavalry behind him, "Speed up! Charge!"
"kill!"
In the Tuli tribe, the sun has just risen, and wisps of white smoke are still rising from the campfire from last night.
The burly men of the grasslands were still fast asleep, and the patrolling soldiers had no idea that anyone would come.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
Just then, a dull but loud sound of horses' hooves suddenly rang out, and the earth trembled!
On the distant horizon, a white line gradually appeared, and in the blink of an eye, it was dozens of feet closer!
On either side of the white line are endless black iron cavalry!
cavalry!
The White Horse Cavalry, with their white horses and silver spears, had already unleashed a rain of arrows!
After several volleys of arrows, they drew their spears and became light cavalry charging into the enemy ranks!
The black iron cavalry split up from two directions and charged towards the tribe from different directions!
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Several volleys of arrows rained down on the tribe, and screams of agony rang out.
"puff!"
Huo Qubing, who was at the forefront, ripped off a large tent with a single spear thrust and pierced the chests of several burly men!
Kill!
Three thousand White Horse Cavalrymen successfully stormed into the tribe, their silver spears piercing the chests of the strong Tuli men.
The strong men from Tuli who were so confident just a few days ago have become lambs to the slaughter.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"It's the Sandbar Cavalry!"
One by one, the Turi people awoke from their dreams, frantically searching for their weapons.
These people had finally put up a strong resistance, but their defenses were breached in an instant by the White Horse Cavalry.
A burly man at the Vajra realm, wielding an iron hammer, roared, "You brat from the desolate state..."
He had barely opened his mouth when Huo Qubing's spear, like a dragon, pierced his throat in an instant.
The burly man fell off his horse and was trampled by the horses, turning into a puddle of mud.
"Capture Tulihe alive!"
Soon the encircling cavalry arrived, and the entire Tuli tribe became a large slaughterhouse.
One by one, heads rolled, and the nearly three thousand iron cavalrymen were already bloodthirsty.
The captured slaves trembled with excitement.
"His Highness the Tang Emperor's army has arrived!"
"The prince has come to save us!"
The killing continued until noon before gradually ceasing.
Tulihe was bound hand and foot, staring blankly at the corpses of his tribesmen scattered on the ground.
"Spare me, please spare me..."
Huo Qubing said coldly, "Keep an eye on him. Once we have the other tribal leaders, send him to Jinchang to be executed by slow slicing."
In this battle, tens of thousands of people from the Tuli tribe were slaughtered, and more than 10,000 cattle and sheep were seized. Everything that the Tuli tribe had stolen was returned in its entirety.
Huo Qubing addressed the hundreds of abducted slaves and women, saying, "Go home!"
"With His Highness the Prince of Tang here, no one will bully you anymore!"
Upon hearing the word "go home," these people burst into tears, filled with gratitude.
Then Huo Qubing said to those around him, "Send two thousand cavalry to escort the people and spoils of war home."
"The rest of you, rest where you are, and prepare to attack the next tribe."
A month later, Li Cunxiao's group had also ventured hundreds of miles into the grasslands.
Baye Tribe.
"Black Armored Army, charge!"
"You don't want to be slower than the White Horse Cavalry, do you?"
Li Cunxiao has already annihilated nine tribes, and the current Baye tribe is the tenth.
The entire grassland was terrified, knowing that two iron cavalrymen were wreaking havoc across the grassland.
Although they were on guard, everyone was still on edge.
The Xuanjia Army was like a black torrent, and the once mighty steppe cavalry were as fragile as tofu in front of them.
"kill!"
"Leave no one behind!"
The grassland people were terrified and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Spare us! We are willing to return the people and money we stole!"
"We don't dare anymore!"
"We are willing to surrender!"
Chapter 218 Huyan Guanyin Arrives at the Door, White-Robed Guanyin Walks with Support Against the Wall
Summer has arrived, and Shazhou is filled with an atmosphere of peace and prosperity, with all industries showing signs of flourishing.
In the newly recaptured Gantai County, officials from Shazhou have already taken office, and some bolder refugees have begun to relocate there.
Zhang Yichao, in alliance with the Waleng tribe led by the White-Robed Guanyin, completely annihilated the Shanshan tribe, and Murong Fuyun was killed in battle.
The entire Shazhou has become connected with the nearest Waleng tribe, while facing off against the farthest Yalong tribe.
Huo Qubing and Li Cunxiao fought across thousands of miles, each annihilating ten Western Rong tribes, and slaughtering two to three hundred thousand nomadic tribes from the grasslands.
The entire Western Rong grassland was filled with unease and fear; the once-mighty foreign invaders were now terrified.
Everyone knows that Li Chang'an, the Grand Protector of Anxi and the Tang Emperor, is a cruel and bloodthirsty tyrant. The name of Li Chang'an can stop a baby from crying at night.
With Huo Qubing and Li Cunxiao's fighting prowess, they could have continued to penetrate deeper into the grasslands, but no matter how wide the net was cast, they could not wipe out all the scattered foreign tribes.
Those who should be beheaded should be beheaded, while some should be kept as dogs. Those who should be killed should be killed, and the remaining ones should be divided and managed – that is the only way forward.
Li Chang'an's actions were meant to tell the Western Rong that if they wanted to plunder, they could go to the Northern Mang people or the Western Barbarians, but they should not come to Shazhou.
Li Cunxiao, along with the last tribal chief, led his army back to Shazhou.
Ten miles away, Zhuge Liang, along with other civil and military officials, came to greet the meritorious official from afar, and countless people came to watch.
Looking into the distance, a black torrent rushed in from the horizon, and even from hundreds of feet away, one could feel its powerful killing intent.
The Xuanjia Army and the Tang Iron Cavalry totaled more than 30,000 men. Because they absorbed many prisoners captured by the barbarians, their numbers continued to grow as the battle progressed.
Li Cunxiao saw Huo Qubing in the welcoming party from afar and couldn't help but twitch his lips. That kid still managed to get ahead.
This shows that Huo Qubing completed the massacre of ten tribes before him.
Li Cunxiao dismounted and knelt on one knee in salute, saying, "Strategist, this humble general has not failed in his mission!"
Zhuge Liang was second only to Li Chang'an, who gave him immense power, so all the military generals were under his control.
Zhuge Liang helped him up and then said with emotion, "You've been on the campaign for several months, my lads, you've worked hard."
