Sushing Yu did not want to engage in war with the barbarians so soon because the longer he waited, the stronger the Night Tribe would become.
While the barbarians had little potential for growth, the longer the time passed, the easier it would be for the Night Tribe to deal with them.
However, this was premised on one-on-one confrontations between the Barbarians and the Night Tribe.
Yet, that was impossible.
The barbarian main force could pull out 60 to 70,000 warriors at their limit.
But if vassels were included, it would definitely exceed 100,000.
Once the barbarian tribes sensed the knight trib's presence based on Su Shing Yu's understanding of them, they would undoubtedly mobilize their entire army to confront the Knight tribe.
Sushing Yu did not believe the Knight tribe would lose, but such a large-scale war would undoubtedly slow down the Knight tribes development.
Therefore, upon learning that the barbarians were sending people over, Sushing Yu did not hesitate and immediately dispatched all cavalry to prepare to directly annex the barbarian tribe.
As for whether it could be done, Sushingu believed it could be done, the two strongholds were only a few dozen miles apart, very close.
Night Battle's cavalry had only run halfway when they encountered a large barbarian army headon, which was undoubtedly composed of warriors from the other stronghold.
That useless Ackri with over 30,000 barbarian warriors couldn't even hold on for a moment.
Looking at the black armored cavalry ahead, a burly barbarian man s expression turned extremely grim and he couldn't help but curse.
His name was Hudson, the ruler of another barbarian stronghold and also the nominal leader of the entire barbarian tribe.
Upon receiving news of the attack on the stronghold, Hudson initially did not believe it.
their barbarian tribe should be grateful for not causing trouble for other tribes.
How could they dare to seek trouble for themselves? However, as more and more barbarian warriors fled over, he had no choice but to believe.
With heavy doubts, Hudson almost brought all the barbarian warriors over, encountering more and more fleeing barbarians along the way.
This made Hudson have to accept that a tribe indeed attacked them, and it seemed the barbarian tribe was at a disadvantage.
However, no matter what, Hudson could not have imagined that before he arrived, Akri had already lost.
I want to see how powerful the barbarians who dominate the black earth plains really are.
Night battle surged with a scarlet blood lust, roaring as he charged forward.
Follow me.
This was Night Battle's method of leading troops, using himself as the spearhead, either to break through the enemy or die in the charge.
Kill, slaughter them, offer the victory to my god.
With each roar, the warriors of the night tribe behind him followed suit.
Overreaching, Hudson sneered, then also urged his horse forward.
Follow me.
Let them see the power with which we suppress the black earth plains.
The barbarian warriors howled, excitedly charging forward.
On this land, the largest cavalry duel in history began.
The combined forces of both sides reached nearly 100,000 all elite troops.
It is not an exaggeration to say that either side could sweep away other tribes on the black earth plains.
As the two sides drew closer, Hudson charging at the front noticed something was off.
Why were the cavalry on the opposite side moving a bit slowly? And why did this commotion seem a bit unusual when the two sides were only a few hundred steps apart, Hudson finally realized what was wrong? Fully armored, these were heavy cavalry.
Before becoming chief, Hudson had traveled with merchant caravans for a while and had seen many things not available in this land.
One of them was the heavy cavalry he had always wanted but could not achieve due to reality.
The barbarian tribe did not lack iron ore, but lacked the corresponding smelting technology.
Therefore, after several years of effort, Hudson had managed to gather a few hundred heavy cavalry, which had always been his trump card.
However, if he was not mistaken, the opponents were all heavy cavalry.
At least the ones at the very front were.
It's over.
Hudson's face turned ashen.
Having once relied on heavy cavalry to bully other tribes, Hudson was very clear about the combat power of this unit, especially when they charged.
It was like a steel giant.
Even extraordinary warriors who were far stronger than ordinary people had to avoid the sharp edge when facing such steel beasts.
However, the tragic part was that both sides were moving too fast.
Even if Hudson turned immediately, he would still be collided with by the Knight tribes warriors, leading to a more disastrous defeat.
The 3,000 heavy cavalry led by night battle instantly collided with the barbarian warriors.
It was like an elephant charging into a pack of wolves.
The barbarian warriors that encountered them either flew out or fell off their horses.
All crushed into a bloody pulp.
Whether ordinary warriors or extraordinary warriors, facing tens of thousands of iron hooves, anyone who got stepped on would turn into blood and mud, the formidable heavy cavalry easily tore through the barbarian trib's lines, almost splitting them in half, discarding the long spear in hand.
Night battle seized a large cleaver and swung it forward, instantly killing two barbarian warriors who fell from their horses.
Haha, kill.
Is this what the barbarians are like? A bit weak, huh? With such strength, how can they block our conquest? Laughing maniacally, the heavy cavalry slowing down, still charged forward, using their long knives to carve a bloody path.
As the most elite warriors of the night tribe, their equipment was the best.
Even superior to that of the brothers behind them.
In contrast, the barbarian warriors equipment was somewhat lacking.
The equipment of the barbarian tribe mostly came from merchant caravans which was not of poor quality but had become somewhat outdated over time.
Some barbarian warriors were wearing gear that was from their grandfather's generation.
If compared to the original red river tribe, these equipments were undoubtedly advanced as most of the Red River tribe at that time wore animal skin clothes.
However, compared to the night tribe which had undergone a change, they appeared very worn out.
A single soldier with outdated equipment can make up for it in other ways.
But if tens of thousands of soldiers are outdated, it can almost be declared that the battle is over.
Chapter 16.
The wealthy barbarian tribe, the cavalry of the night tribe, advanced slowly but steadily like a torrent of steel with barbarian warriors continuously falling.
The gap in equipment was vividly displayed at this moment.
No killing of surrenderers.
As the night battle broke through the barbarian front lines, the morale of the entire barbarian trib's warriors plummeted, turning his horse around, knight battle coldly looked at them, clearly intending to charge again if they did not surrender.
Hudson, who had survived the previous clash by luck, first glanced at the corpses on the ground and then looked at the terrified barbarian warriors beside him.
We surrender.
After a moment's hesitation, he decisively chose to admit defeat in this land.
So-called dignity and glory are hollow.
Only their lives are the most important.
So knowing they would die, most people would choose to surrender.
The rule of survival of the fittest prevails in this land, and surrendering is neither rare nor shameful here.
Hearing this night battle couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart and quickly sent people to disarm them.
In a recent bout of fighting, both sides had only lost about 3,000 people, which was not a significant loss.
But the spirit of the barbarians had been crushed.
Therefore, after choosing to surrender, they did not struggle unnecessarily.
Meanwhile, far away at the Black Earth stronghold, Sushingu also learned of this and personally led 20,000 warriors to directly take over the barbarian tribe.
Although the barbarians were defeated, their losses were minimal, and there were still hundreds of thousands waiting to be dealt with.
Night battle was fine in combat, but relying on him to handle these matters was out of the question.
He was not that kind of person, so Sushing Yu had to step in.
Moreover, with hundreds of thousands of people, a miracle was needed to win their hearts properly.
To resolve the barbarian tribe issue, Sushingu dispatched nearly all the warriors of a night tribe, bringing their defenses to the lowest point in history.
However, the surrounding forces had already been absorbed by him, and leaving a few thousand to guard was sufficient.
Besides, with the mobility of cavalry, even if an accident occurred, it wouldn't take long to return.
After almost 2 days, Sushiu finally arrived at the first stronghold of the barbarian tribe.
to prevent any unexpected events.
Night Battle had not gathered the barbarians from the two strongholds together, but instead kept them separately and screened out the barbarian leaders.
When Su Shing Yu arrived, Night Battle was already waiting at the gate.
Chief, I won.
Su Shingu dismounted and Night Battle immediately came forward proudly saying, "Well done.
" Sushingu smiled, not sparing his praise, and then asked, "Where are those barbarians now? They are too numerous and I fear there would be trouble.
So I dispersed and locked them up.
Night battle explained with a smile.
But please rest assured, chief.
I have people delivering food to them every day.
