)? w? =? = ¬? o?|?? [?|???\????? 2p? h??? e?? gh?_? e??， As such, he commanded an invincible army, turning swords into plows, sweeping across the world.
After the ceremony, Ouyang Shuo began to call out the generals. "Wang Feng!"
"Here!" Wang Feng stepped out and knelt on one knee.
"You will lead the Forbidden Brigade and guard the left side as the general of the left side."
"Yes!"
"Lin Yi!"
"I'm here!" Lin Yi stepped out as well.
"You will lead the second brigade of the first division and guard the right side as the general of the right side."
"Yes!"
Ouyang Shuo arranged for elite cavalry units on the left and right sides. The three brigades of the city guards formed the middle army, with Ouyang Shuo personally in charge. Shanhai County and Youyi County's city guards formed the front line, while Pool Water County's city guards formed the back line as the reserve force. In the city guards' brigade, the archers took the vanguard, the shield soldiers at the back, and the cavalry on the flanks.
Such an army was invincible.
After the roll call, Ouyang Shuo pulled out the Tang sword from his waist and waved it forward, "Move out!"
The vast army moved out immediately. Other than the sound of footsteps and horses neighing, there was no other sound. The army crossed the moat outside the city and marched towards Tianfeng Tribe.
Dari Achi was not an ordinary person. Although he appeared arrogant when he received the messenger, he had been guarding Youyi County ever since the messenger left.
Such a large scale ceremony outside Youyi County naturally did not escape his eyes.
The huge army of the opponent, the magnificent army, all of them were terrifying. The cavalry from the North Barracks returned at the right time, giving him a wake-up call.
The lord's flag that was raised on the city walls of Youyi County made Dari Achi at a loss. Only then did he know that Youyi County was just a subsidiary territory of the opponent. The real base camp had yet to appear.
At this moment, Dari Achi finally understood the meaning of the 'Marquis' that the messenger had mentioned yesterday.
One could not be called a Marquis without sweeping across all four sides.
Inside the tribe's tent, Dari Achi furrowed his brows and flew into a rage. "Conspiracy! This is a conspiracy! A big conspiracy against our Sky Abundant Tribe!"
The joy of victory had long since vanished, and all that was left was endless regret.
Indeed, Ouyang Shuo's string of actions, like throwing out bait, sending emissaries, and issuing orders, were all for the sake of occupying the moral high ground. In this way, the Sky Abundant Tribe was unreasonable and unreasonable. They were in the wrong first, so it was only natural that they would be attacked. Naturally, they would not be able to incite the other tribes to unite against a common enemy.
"Patriarch, what should we do now?" The tribal nobles were like birds startled by the mere twang of a bow.
"What can we do? It's just a battle, "Hu Qitu, the representative of the pro-war faction, said indifferently.
"Shut up!" Dari Achi was furious. If it wasn't for Hu Qitu's instigation, he wouldn't have been in this mess today. Now, a disaster was upon him, yet this person was still so arrogant. He was truly foolish.
"General Huqitu must be joking. The other party has an army of over ten thousand. How are we supposed to fight them?" Some nobles were dissatisfied.
When they conquered the market, the nobles admired Huqitu. Now that the tables had turned, the nobles' attitudes had also taken a 180-degree turn, and they were now blaming Huqitu for his reckless actions.
Little did they know that the ones who had advocated attacking the market were the nobles.
After being choked by the patriarch and the nobles, Hu Qitu's face turned red with anger. Anxious to save his image, he said fiercely, "How can the other party's combat power compare to us, the children of the grassland?"
Dari Achi shook his head, not wanting to pay attention to Hu Qitu. He turned to the nobles and said in a deep voice, "The only thing we can do now is to either fight or ask for help. What is everyone's opinion? Tell me! "
"Ask for help? Ask for help from whom? Right now, we are in the wrong. Those tribes are waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves! It's already good enough that they didn't hit us when we're down. How could they possibly help us? "
"That's right, that's right!"
Dari Achi held his forehead with his hand. He had a terrible headache. He said irritably, "This won't do, that won't do. Then what do you guys think we should do? "
The nobles looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
"How about we return the loot to them?" One of the nobles said weakly.
"Heh, it's too late. We agreed to the other party's messenger's conditions yesterday. We just refused, but the other party has already gathered their army and issued a declaration of war. It's obvious that they don't want to let this go. "
Gloomy clouds shrouded the tent, and the atmosphere became more and more oppressive.
At this moment, one of the nobles stood up and said tentatively, "How about, how about we surrender?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. It was like opening Pandora's box.
"Sur-Surrender?" The nobles stammered, their eyes flashing.
"No. How can the children of the grassland surrender without a fight?! "Hu Qitu shouted unwillingly.
Dari Achi sat in the seat of honor. He felt a chill in his heart. He knew that the worst result was coming. He was powerless to stop it. The cowardice and fear in the eyes of the nobles was as obvious as the cattle and sheep on the grassland.
Although the nobles were hesitant, in fact, they were the core of the tribe and had the right to speak.
Since the nobles had already decided to surrender, even if he, as the patriarch, did not agree, he could not completely mobilize the army. One must know that the logistics lifeline of the army was in the hands of the nobles.
Dari Achi closed his eyes, his expression desolate. His imperial hegemony had come to nothing.
After a long time, Dari Achi said, "Hai Ri Gu, I will leave the surrender negotiations to you!"
Hai Ri Gu, the nobles who proposed to surrender, stood up and said, "Yes!"
"Patriarch, you can't, the children still have the strength to fight!" Hu Qitu tried to stop him.
"Guards!" Dari Achi did not look at Hu Qitu, but called for the guards.
"Here!" Four guards walked into the tent.
"Take Hu Qitu away and put him in prison!" Dari Achi knew that one of the conditions put forward by the other party's envoy was to hand over the leader, otherwise Hu Qitu would not be able to escape death.
In order to prevent any accidents, Dari Achi simply made up his mind and locked Hu Qitu up first.
"Patriarch!" Hu Qitu's face was full of shock and he was almost speechless.
To be honest, Hu Qitu was Dari Achi's true confidant. Locking Hu Qitu up was also very painful. Unfortunately, the situation did not allow him to show favoritism.
"Take him away!" Dari Achi did not dare to look at Hu Qitu's desperate eyes and said ruthlessly.
"Yes!" The guards were all hardcore loyal to the patriarch. Although they were shocked, they did not hesitate to carry out the order, disarm Hu Qitu and take him away.
Hu Qitu's heart turned cold, his heart was like dead ashes, he did not resist and obediently allowed himself to be taken away.
"Disperse!" Dari Achi said weakly.
With his hegemony gone, Dari Achi's spirit, energy, and spirit also disappeared, losing the heroic appearance he had in the past. When the nobles saw the state of their patriarch, they did not know what to feel. One by one, they silently left. (To be continued.)
