Chapter 347 Meat Grinder! Black Lotus reappears! Just when the war started with Da Yu in the south of Daxia, there was also movement in the northern barbarians of Daxia, which had been peaceful for nearly ten years. The melodious horns echoed in the Northern Barbarian Khan tribe, and golden eagles fluttered high, delivering the order to attack to every Northern Barbarian royal court. Not long after the golden eagle entered the royal court, the same melodious horn sounded in the royal court, and a black eagle that was slightly smaller than the golden eagle flew out of the royal court and headed towards the surrounding waiting areas. Immediately afterwards, the people from the Northern Barbarian tribe mobilized soldiers and horses and used fast horses to deliver the news to the large, medium and small tribes. In less than half a day, the order from the Northern Barbarian Khan Division spread throughout the vast Northern Barbarian grasslands. The Northern Barbarian generals mobilized nearly 100,000 tribesmen. A steady stream of tribal soldiers gathered together, forming a torrent towards Daxia. And go. In fact, the enemies of the Northland have always been the Northern Barbarians. The people of the two territories have been fighting each other for nearly a thousand years, and the war has never stopped. This was true even during the few years of Daxia's rule. Although the Northern Barbarians did not launch large-scale troops, the small-scale invasions from the Northern Barbarians never stopped every year. However, as Daxia's strength increased, Hua Xiong alone took charge of the North, completely blocking the Northern Barbarians from Daxia's border! As time goes by, the reputation of the Northern Barbarians, a huge force that has threatened the Northland for thousands of years, has become smaller and smaller in Daxia. Gradually, except for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who guard the northern border, few people mention the Northern Barbarians.
It was as if Daxia no longer had the threat of the Northern Barbarians. However, the reputation of the Northern Barbarians is not outstanding, but it does not mean that they are weak. In fact, the power of the Northern Barbarians has never been inferior to the Sixteen Kingdoms of the North. From the beginning to the end, during the period of the founding of Daxia, the Northern Barbarians never made a real large-scale move southward. The elites of the Khan tribe were never dispatched once, and even the people from the royal court were rarely used. According to the practice of the Northern Barbarians, every Jiazi will attack with all his strength to have a good fight with the Central Plains people. The rise of Daxia has been less than ten years, so naturally there is no chance to truly compete with the Northern Barbarians. Up to now, the Northern Barbarians are no longer in the eyes of Daxia. The enemy of Great Xia now is not the Northern Barbarians, but the Ancient Barbarians behind the Northern Barbarians! The mighty army swept down, and before long, the entire northern front of Daxia was occupied by huge Northern Barbarian camps. More than ten million troops have gathered on the border of Daxia. Although the soldiers are not high in cultivation and have not even reached the level of all warriors, their number is sufficient!
Moreover, in front of Daxia Qianshan City, the Northern Barbarian Khan flag with an eagle and wild wolf painted on it was planted on the ground, and wolf cavalry armed with scimitars and riding wild wolves patrolled back and forth in the camp. On the wall of Qianshan City, Yang Ye and Hua Xiong looked at the army in front of them from a distance. "It has been eight years. I have been stationed at the northern border for more than eight years. This is the first time that the Northern Barbarians have shown their old tricks!" Hua Xiong's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty light. "This time, it's not just the Northern Barbarians, the strong men from the ancient Barbarian countries must also be in the army!" Yang Ye calmly looked at the densely packed army in the distance. "Humph, your majesty has long understood the tricks of Guman and Dayu. He sent General Wei to take charge here early, plus the bachelors and generals of Qin who are in charge of the imperial city, and General Cheng who is in charge of the Western Regions. Our great Xia's territory is impregnable!" Hua Xiong snorted. Woo~~~! As soon as Hua Xiong finished speaking, the melodious horn sounded, and the two men's eyes returned to the battlefield in front of them again. The army in front of them was overwhelming like a wave. There were no battle formations, no military momentum, and not even the most basic formation. There are only Northern Barbarian soldiers, but there are endless Northern Barbarian soldiers! "kill!" Endless shouts of killing resounded through the void, and northern barbarian soldiers swarmed in like a wave. "Leave the city and meet the enemy!"
"Yes!" The drums of war drums sounded, and the city gate of Qianshan Pass slowly opened. Hua Xiong took the lead, leading 20,000 Xiliang cavalry to charge out. The army rushed out from the city gate, dispersed again, formed a neat military formation, and charged towards the enemy. Now in the northern border of Daxia, those under the command of Yang Ye, in addition to Yang Ye's five thousand Yanmen soldiers, are Hua Xiong and his 100,000 Xiliang cavalry, as well as hundreds of troops mobilized from the seven mansions of Daxia. Ten thousand troops! Each of Daxia's seven prefectures borders the Northern Barbarians. Of the million troops left in Daxia, only 400,000 remain in the country. The rest were mobilized by the Chu River to the border areas. On. The enemies around Daxia are Dayu and Beiman, and there is also the Western Region. However, the contact area between Daxia and the Western Region is less than one-tenth of the former two. The front line of the Northern Barbarians is naturally the focus of Daxia's defense! In less than a quarter of an hour, the two sides collided immediately. The moment the two armies came into contact, the true energy of all the soldiers on the Daxia side surged, and fierce attacks swept out and fell on the Northern Barbarian army. For a moment, the great army of the Northern Barbarians fell on their backs, and the soldiers at the front fell to the ground one after another. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry did not hesitate, and rushed into the army with great energy in their hands. In an instant, all the soldiers at the front of the Northern Barbarian army were killed. But no one on the Daxia side was injured!
One side is an innate soldier, while the other side does not even have the most basic warriors to form an army. On average, there is only one acquired warrior among every five people. The two armies faced each other head-on, and it was a complete massacre! It's just that the Northern Barbarian army is too large. After killing one batch and adding another batch, the number of soldiers who have just charged is more than 500,000, which is more than 25 times that of Daxia. Wu Yangyang's army is spread out. Even with the eyes of a Heavenly Realm warrior, one could not see the entire grassland. In a short period of time, Hua Xiong's Xiliang cavalry could not kill all these people. A hundred miles behind the battlefield, on a tall hillside, an army wearing animal skins gathered here. The number of the army was about 20,000. Twenty thousand soldiers stood casually on the plain. There was no so-called battle formation at all. Their clothes were also different. Although they were all animal skins, the sizes and materials were completely different. If one ignores their fierce aura and strong evil spirit, no one would associate them with an army. One thing that these 20,000 troops have in common is that all of them have a wolf head tattooed on their chest. The wolf head is lifelike, with a cunning and ferocious look in its eyes, as if it is really the head of a giant wolf that is always alive. Twenty thousand people, without exception, all have wolf head tattoos on their chests! Of course, this also makes them more like an army. At the front of the hillside, a burly man stared at the battle below. Looking at the vulnerable soldiers below, he yelled with a flash of contempt in his eyes, "Such a weak person is not worthy of becoming a citizen of Changshengtian!" "After all, they are descendants of the Central Plains people, and they do not have great barbarian gods. Bloodline, except for the rapid reproduction of numbers, they are useless!" Beside the burly man, a middle-aged man wearing a bearskin said. "Then just take advantage of this opportunity to consume it!" The burly man said lightly without any mercy in his eyes. "Tell the Great Khan of the Northern Barbarians that in today's battle, all the young and middle-aged people in the territory must be consumed. These barren marginal grasslands will be given to Daxia!" "Yes!" On the battlefield, the fighting was still going on. A meat grinder was set up on the edge of Qianshan City. Twenty thousand Xiliang cavalry tried their best to kill the Northern Barbarian soldiers in front of them. Their blood stained the entire grassland with blood. At the same time, on the vast land of Daxia and Northern Barbarians that stretched for nearly 30,000 miles, countless Northern Barbarian soldiers poured in overwhelmingly, directly covering the grassland like a wave. If someone stands a million meters above the ground, they can see a black line appearing on the border between the Northern Barbarians and Daxia. These people are all soldiers of the Northern Barbarians. This time the Northern Barbarians directly used Lao Di and directly suppressed all the young and middle-aged men in the entire Northern Barbarians. There were nearly 10 million soldiers who had arrived on the battlefield, and more than 70 million soldiers were still on the road! A total of 60 million young and strong Northern Barbarians pressed forward.
The land of Daxia and the Northern Barbarians are the same, but one is a farming civilization and the other is a nomadic civilization. The population of the former far exceeds that of the latter. The Yan Kingdom that Daxia conquered at the beginning had a population of 120 million. This was after weakening. After truly conquering the entire sixteen kingdoms, Daxia's population has reached an astonishing billion!
Although the number of the Northern Barbarians is far less than the population of Daxia, the total population exceeds 200 million. The total number of young and middle-aged people plus old soldiers who can go to the battlefield reaches an astonishing 80 million people. This is the powerful war mobilization of nomadic civilization. Almost all the people are soldiers, and the combat effectiveness is only inferior to that of fishing and hunting civilization!
The upper echelons of the Northern Barbarians planned to completely consume these 80 million people, force Daxia to return reinforcements, and then cede the entire grassland where the Northern Barbarians were located to Daxia. After all, in the eyes of the barbarians, the northern barbarians are not their own people, they are just a group of Central Plains people who have taken refuge with them. If the north is still there, the northern barbarians will naturally have a meaning of existence. Now that the Northland has been occupied by Daxia, the Northern Barbarians naturally have no meaning of existence. These Central Plains people have no meaning in their existence. It is better to consume them directly if they are left to Daxia! For a time, as the Beiman attack horn sounded, all the cities in the north of Daxia were attacked by the Beiman, and a large number of Beiman soldiers besieged the city. Although these Northern Barbarian soldiers have low cultivation, incomplete equipment, and no offensive system training, let alone the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, they are far inferior to the soldiers trained in Daxia. At least all of the million soldiers in Daxia are warriors at the fourth level of the day after tomorrow. They have complete armors and weapons and have been systematically trained. But the extreme number also gave these northern barbarian soldiers a strong combat effectiveness. Moreover, not all the Northern Barbarians are cannon fodder. The Royal Court Army and the Khan Army are also rare elites!
For a time, the entire northern border was in chaos, and a large number of Northern Barbarian soldiers fell under the city wall, but as time passed, more and more Daxia soldiers fell. There were even some cities that were captured by the Northern Barbarians despite being more than ten times more outnumbered by our own troops... The battle lasted until the sun went down, and the Northern Barbarian soldiers retreated. In just one day, bones piled up like mountains on the walls of the northern city. There were 42 large cities and 480 small cities in northern Daxia. Eleven cities were captured by the Northern Barbarian army. Although they were subsequently recaptured by the ordinary Xiliang cavalry, there were already a large number of casualties in the cities. In just one battle, the one million soldiers in the northern border of Daxia suffered more than 100,000 casualties, and more than 10% of the soldiers stationed in the north were lost. Even the Xiliang Iron Cavalry lost a small number of soldiers. Of course, the number of casualties suffered by the Northern Barbarians was far higher than that of Daxia. If we look at the number of casualties alone, Daxia would definitely have a great victory this time. Qianshanguanzhong. Yang Ye frowned tightly as he looked at the intelligence reported from various places. Will such a fighting method pull out all the people in the Northern Barbarians? If the fight continues like this, won't the Northern Barbarians be afraid of killing everyone? "General, according to the intelligence from the scouts, the Northern Barbarians' losses in this battle should be around two million people, and the remaining eight million people are stationed outside our border cities." "And there is a steady stream of reinforcements coming from the grasslands behind. It is expected that the number of the Northern Barbarian army will reach 15 million people early tomorrow morning!" "Fifteen million people!" As soon as the words fell, everyone in the big tent frowned. The Northern Barbarians are not strong, but this number of troops is simply too many. The soldiers of Daxia are strong, but the number is indeed too small, and they cannot take care of the entire northern land. If the fight continues like this, the Northern Barbarians may tear a hole in the northern land and go straight into the hinterland of Daxia! "Send an order to all the cities and recruit young men in the city to participate in the defense of the city. We also urgently recruit soldiers from the counties near the north to go north to resist the barbarians." "On the battlefield tomorrow, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry will directly defeat the army with an army of five thousand people!" "Yes!"
At the same time, the city gate of Guancheng, which had just experienced a hard battle during the day, slowly opened. Dozens of young men pulled carts out of the city wall and began to collect the bones of the Daxia soldiers and burn the corpses of the Northern Barbarians. With so many soldiers piled under the city wall, not only might they be infected with the plague, but the next day, these corpses would become the stepping stone for the Northern Barbarians to attack the city. But no one noticed that among the people gathering the corpse, everyone had a strange black lotus mark between their eyebrows. After entering the battlefield, the Black Refining Mark seemed to come to life, slowly absorbing the blood, evil spirit, murderous intention, and resentment everywhere! The bodies collected by these people were turned into mummies unknowingly, and were finally burned to ashes by the raging fire. As the firelight ended, the soldiers guarding the city suddenly felt that the surroundings were much more relaxed, and there was no longer the solemnity and depression before. However, this did not arouse anyone's suspicion. After all, the mountains of corpses had disappeared, and the oppressive aura naturally dissipated. No one noticed that the evil aura on the battlefield had dropped to a terrifying level. In a secret cave in northern Daxia, a woman is entrenched on the ground, and in front of the woman is a black lotus statue that exudes an ancient aura. At this time, the black lotus exudes a faint blood light, and it contains an extremely terrifying power!
