Chapter 567: Chapter 236: Blood Debts Paid in Blood! Annihilation! Ying Zheng’s Worries!
Northern Frontier!
Donghu Territory!
Uncertain where we are.
The entire army is resting here for now.
The soldiers are eating dry rations and drinking water.
The warhorses are grazing on grass.
"Shangjiangjun."
"It’s been five days."
"Three foreign tribes have already been destroyed by our army."
"Our army has killed numerous enemies."
Zhang Han reported to Zhao Feng.
"In five days, it’s enough time for the King of Donghu to receive news."
"Next."
"The King of Donghu will surely gather heavy forces to encircle our army." Zhao Feng said solemnly.
"Shangjiangjun, what should our army’s next move be?" Zhang Han asked.
"Do you know why I didn’t bring too many troops?" Zhao Feng smiled.
"Ten thousand soldiers here in the grassland desert are like grains of sand, and all are cavalry. Under the leadership of Shangjiangjun, the foreign tribes cannot encircle our army."
"By the time they form the encirclement, our army will have already broken out of the siege." Zhang Han immediately replied.
Historically.
Zhang Han was originally a military talent.
Now, following Zhao Feng, he is even more outstanding than the Zhang Han in history.
"Therefore."
"We are waiting for the Donghu army to encircle."
"It’s best if all forces are used to besiege our army." Zhao Feng smiled faintly.
"What’s the purpose of Shangjiangjun’s plan?"
"Is it to maneuver the entire Donghu army, deplete their grain and national power, and ultimately prevent them from moving south?" Zhang Han asked probing.
"There should be quite a few people in the Eastern Barbarian Royal Court, right?" Zhao Feng smiled.
Upon hearing this.
Zhang Han’s expression changed, showing a bit of surprise: "Shangjiangjun, are you planning to lead the army to attack the Eastern Barbarian Royal Court?"
"If we destroy the royal court, this battle will be victorious."
"If we can kill the King of Donghu, that would be even better." Zhao Feng coldly smiled.
Upon hearing Zhao Feng’s words.
Zhang Han couldn’t help but be taken aback.
He realized he had underestimated his family head’s true intentions.
Originally thinking the family head was merely here to destroy some tribes and then retreat, he hadn’t expected the real target was the Eastern Barbarian Royal Court.
The royal courts of these grassland foreign tribes are equivalent to a nation’s capital.
If the capital is destroyed, not only will Donghu suffer significant losses, but their national power will genuinely decline.
After all, while their tribes can migrate, the royal court typically does not easily relocate.
"I swear to follow Shangjiangjun to the death."
Zhang Han immediately bowed.
At this moment!
Zhang Ming, leading several trusted aides, rode back on horseback.
"Shangjiangjun."
"A foreign tribe was discovered five miles ahead, with a population of about ten to twenty thousand." Zhang Ming respectfully reported.
"We’ve rested enough."
"Continue to kill the enemy."
Zhao Feng slowly stood up, mounted his horse.
"I swear to follow Shangjiangjun to the death."
The sharp warriors all mounted their horses.
"Kill!"
Zhao Feng held the Tyrant Spear.
Pointing forward, he coldly shouted.
The entire Qin Cavalry scattered, charging towards the foreign tribe like a torrent.
At that moment.
The people of this foreign tribe were still gathering grain.
Carts of grain along with cattle and sheep were being loaded.
"Clan leader."
"Our tribe has handed over nearly all the food, how will we survive this winter?"
"Indeed."
"We’ve handed over the rations for our entire family."
"We might starve this winter."
...
In this small tribe, many Donghu people looked with great reluctance at the grain they were handing over.
While the tribe leader spoke sternly.
"My clansmen."
"This time it’s a calamity for our tribe."
"Those damned people of Qin have killed tens of thousands of our warriors, and this time the great king has ordered a collective gathering of grain to mobilize the army to head south and attack Qin."
"Once we invade Qin, this grain will mean little."
"The great king has already promised that once we destroy this damned Qin nation, every clan member can receive more than ten times the amount of food they contributed and also receive five Qin slaves."
"Let me tell you."
"Qin slaves are extraordinary, their women are said to be very beautiful, and their men are better suited for labor."
"If you contribute this time, once the great king returns triumphantly, you will all receive greater benefits."
The tribe leader declared confidently.
Upon hearing this.
Receiving ten times the amount of food later.
And being able to acquire five Qin slaves.
The Donghu people who initially didn’t want to hand over grain all became excited.
"That’s wonderful."
"The great king must quickly annihilate that damned Qin nation."
"Right, avenge our warriors."
"Also capture Qin slaves, these Qin people only deserve to be enslaved, yet they dare to oppose my tribe."
"Truly damned."
"Clansmen, let’s hand over the grain to support the great king’s campaign against Qin; once Qin is destroyed, we’ll not only receive more grain but also acquire slaves..."
One by one, the Donghu people became fervent.
They seemed to envision the scene where Donghu destroyed Qin, obtaining endless grain and Qin slaves.
But at that moment!
Tap tap.
Tap tap tap.
A series of hoof beats sound.
"What’s that sound?"
A Donghu person looked puzzled towards outside the tribe.
"What’s the panic."
"We are in the tribe, protected by our Donghu warriors. Could the Qin people possibly come and attack?"
"It must be our cavalry moving." The tribe leader laughed.
Zhao Feng led the army in this foreign land in slaughter.
Without any fixed plans, the army advanced without a fixed location, not to mention the Donghu people being unable to find traces; Zhao Feng himself led the army to wherever he moved to kill wherever they went.
In just five days.
Donghu couldn’t have fully communicated the news.
After all, the Donghu territory is vast and sparsely populated.
It’s not like the technology era of later generations.
As the sound of hoof beats grew stronger.
Many Donghu people’s eyes turned to look.
Soon.
Many sharp-eyed Donghu people noticed something was wrong.
"Not right."
"These are not our warriors."
"It’s the Qin Army."
"Look quickly, those are Qin flags."
