A reconnaissance team quickly headed southeast. Half an hour later, the intelligence officer of the reconnaissance team came back and found a tribe in the southeast, about twenty miles away from them. However, the tribe had already prepared for battle. They were probably frightened by our shouting and killing here just now.
"The entire army must take all the dried meat, burn all the tents and other supplies here, and then retreat to the southwest."
We come to the grassland to destroy without a trace. If the enemy is already on high alert, it doesn't mean that we can't launch a strong attack, but then we lose the meaning of being on the grassland. Once we get into a tough battle, other tribes around us may also join us, and then we will have no mobility. Li Xiang didn't expect to be surrounded by them in such a short time.
Many of his men began to move immediately, except for the 3,000 men under Cheng Yaojin who were somewhat confused. However, they also maintained good military qualities, which was to obey Li Xiang's orders on the battlefield.
"Your Highness, even if those people are ready, we have nothing to fear from them. At most, a tribe has more than a thousand people. With our current strong military power, we can just go up and attack them."
The leading general Liu Guihu said that this man is also an old man under Cheng Yaojin. He is already forty-two years old this year. If he cannot make a step forward, he probably will not have the opportunity to lead the team to war in the future, mainly because he has reached the age limit.
"We are limited in number, with only about 6,000 troops in total. If the tribe isn't prepared, we can capture them with a loss of at most 30 to 40 men. But if they are prepared, we'll lose at least 300 to 400 men. Our gains will be the same, but our losses will increase tenfold. Do you think this deal is worth making? Furthermore, there are over a hundred tribes on this grassland, and not all of them are prepared. There are plenty of unprepared tribes. Why would we fight to the death with a prepared tribe? Aren't our brothers' lives important?"
This was the first time Liu Guihu had heard Li Xiang's theory. Although he couldn't understand it at once, he understood some of the things he said. Facing a well-prepared tribe, our losses might be ten times higher than before, which was definitely not worth it.
Beep…
The Kangbei tribe was successfully killed, and 100,000 points were awarded, which unlocked wartime rations, and each point could be exchanged for ten portions.
When Li Xiang left the tribe, the system gave him a large reward and also gave him a supply of wartime rations.
Li Xiang really didn't know what to say. While no one was paying attention, Li Xiang exchanged ten war rations.
Fortunately, it was not an iron box. If it was, I really don’t know how to explain how this thing came from. The things given were wrapped in paper, and inside there was a 400-gram can of beef, 250 grams of compressed biscuits, 5 grams of sugar, 5 grams of salt, 5 grams of butter, a 25-gram piece of chocolate, and a 250-ml bag of milk.
Li Xiang really didn't know how to thank the system. If such a wartime ration was used sparingly, it should be enough calories for one person for a day. The troops still had plenty of supplies, especially since they had just looted the tribe. Everyone had a lot of dried meat on them. They didn't need wartime rations for the time being and would wait until they were needed.
The price of this thing is extremely cheap. One point can be exchanged for ten portions. Take the six thousand people in front of us. If each person eats two portions a day, that would be twelve thousand portions, which is enough for one thousand two hundred points. Killing one person can earn more than one hundred points. Is this still considered a waste?
Just now, the tribal system rewarded a total of 100,000 points, and there were some other scattered rewards, which added up to about 170,000 points. A tribe of 1,500 people can bring themselves 170,000 points, and each person can get more than 100 points on average. If you can capture the tribal leader, there will probably be additional rewards. So now you don’t have to worry about points. As long as you take action, you can’t spend all the points.
What's more, Li Xiang now has more than 6,000 worship points every day. Each of these worship points can be converted into ten ordinary points. It's like a perpetual motion machine. It's a pity that the people exchanged by the system cannot provide worship points for themselves, otherwise there would be even more.
Thinking about the fact that more than 6,000 people have regarded him as an idol since his rebirth, Li Xiang still thinks it is very good and can be considered a relatively successful achievement.
The second tribe had a smaller population, only about 800 people, and was also relatively poor. They didn't find any gold or silver at all. The previous tribe had found several thousand taels of gold, but the people in this tribe were so poor that they almost had to sell their pants.
Beep…
Capture the Tuyuhun princess and you will be rewarded with 200,000 points and unlock the crossbow weapon.
The exchange price is five points each, and the chain crossbow arrows are only one point each for one hundred.
Just when Li Xiang was looking for a place to rest, the system suddenly prompted this voice: The eldest princess of Tuyuhun?
"Stop it."
In the distance, his men were ready to kill people because they found thirty Han slaves in the tribe. Originally, there were as many as 110 Han slaves, but now only thirty were left. In such a tribe, no one could be left alive.
"Search for me immediately. The great princess of Tuyuhun is in here."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin's men expressed their doubts. "Your Highness hadn't even come over just now, so how did you know the Tuyuhun princess was among them?" But Li Xiang's men had no doubts and immediately began to identify the over a hundred people. They naturally pushed the men aside and stabbed them. The princess couldn't possibly be a man.
Women have to be careful in distinguishing. A man with rough face and hands definitely has nothing to do with being a princess. If they meet a man with delicate skin and tender flesh, they will naturally pull him aside and wait.
Finally, seven people were selected. They all looked like children from noble families, but no one came forward to admit it.
Li Xiang must find the princess. In addition to 200,000 points, the most important thing is the crossbow.
This thing has a range of fifty meters and can fire ten sleeve arrows continuously each time, which is equivalent to a machine gun. With this thing, our combat capability will definitely be raised to a higher level. Even if I have to skin all of you alive, I will find the princess.
