Chapter 284: Annihilating the Xianbei Tribe
Chapter 284: Annihilating the Xianbei Tribe
September 25, 2017
After staying at Lu HaiKong's mountain fort for three days, Ye Junru and her companions were ready to depart.
The terms of the trade were essentially agreed upon, and all that remained was the exchange of payment and goods.
The transaction location was set at Qiang Yin County, a more convenient location for Lu HaiKong, and the time was scheduled for half a month later, as both parties needed time to prepare the necessary resources.
Ye Junru's side didn't require much preparation, as the Hall of Heroes had all the required materials readily available. They only needed to return to Youzhou to retrieve them. As for the millions of gold, despite being a Yellow Turban force, they were far from impoverished. While it might not be a trivial amount, they had access to such funds whenever needed.
Lu HaiKong's side, however, faced a slight complication. Although Li Xiong had previously brought back a batch of warhorses and livestock from the Xianbei Tribe, he had already negotiated their sale with the Wang Family a few days earlier. This left the mountain fort temporarily short of the required five thousand horses and two thousand cattle.
Lu HaiKong wasn't overly concerned, though. While the fort might lack these resources, he hadn't forgotten about the tribe he had acquired using the 'Subordinate Force Formation Order' on the grassland.
Over the past three months, the Phantom Guard had not only kept a watchful eye on the Seven Tribes but had also joined forces with the Fire Word Regiment to explore deeper into the grassland.
They ventured as far as three hundred kilometers from the Ranch, gathering detailed information about the tribes and their locations. They discovered numerous Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes.
Lu HaiKong had been planning to train his troops recently, and he saw this as an opportunity to deal with a few tribes.
After all, even if the tribes caused a disturbance, their elimination wouldn't immediately implicate Lu HaiKong, as they were separated from the mountain fort by the Seven Tribes.
With this idea in mind, Lu HaiKong set off for the Ranch after Ye Junru and her companions departed. Before leaving, he brought along "Heaven's Eye," as the grassland likely had many resource points that hadn't been thoroughly explored before.
Upon reaching the Ranch, the Black Gale Legion had already assembled, and they set off for their destination as soon as Lu HaiKong arrived.
Led by the Fire Word Regiment, the Black Gale Legion traveled through the territory of the Fu Clan Tribe, ensuring that none of the Seven Tribes, except for the Fu Clan, were aware of the terrifying cavalry passing through their lands.
Under the guidance of the Fire Word Regiment, the Black Gale Legion arrived at nightfall near a Xianbei tribe with a population of around twenty thousand, located approximately two hundred kilometers from the mountain fort's ranch.
The Black Gale Legion took a brief rest and, as night fell, launched their attack.
Lu HaiKong increasingly appreciated the effectiveness of night raids as a simple yet practical tactic. Despite the Xianbei tribe's vigilance, it proved futile.
Although the battle seemed like a twenty-fold mismatch, with one thousand against twenty thousand, the outcome was never in doubt. From the moment the Black Gale Legion's first volley of crossbow arrows rained down upon the Xianbei tribe, the fate of the battle was sealed.
On one side was a well-equipped elite force, with all members possessing a Strength Value of 30 or higher, launching a stealthy night raid. On the other side was an unprepared tribe, caught completely off-guard in their sleep, descending into chaos.
After five volleys of ballista arrows, the Black Gale Legion charged in, initiating a bloody slaughter.
As it turned out, there was a vast disparity between a military force and civilians. Even though the Black Gale Legion was a group of horse bandits, the situation was no different when they were massacring the Xianbei tribe.
One side was highly organized, while the other was in total disarray, unable to mount an effective resistance. Despite the Xianbei tribe having several members with Strength Values over 60, the Black Gale Legion, while mostly consisting of members with Strength Values of 30, also had former members of the Fire Word Regiment, whose Strength Values were now in the 50s and 60s.
Furthermore, they were equipped with Light Cloud Crossbows, and when faced with challenging situations, they would shoot several rounds of arrows. If that didn't kill their target, they would use their speed advantage to retreat, allowing their more powerful forces to eliminate the opposition.
Not to mention, the Black Gale Legion had Lu Hai Kong, Zhao Gang, and Zhao Er, all with Strength Values over 60. This Xianbei tribe simply had no formidable presence to stand up and control the situation. So, until this tribe was completely exterminated, there was no organized resistance from the Xianbei tribe that could inflict harm on the Black Gale Legion.
In just three hours, a Xianbei tribe with a population of 20,000 was slaughtered. The remaining Xianbei people took advantage of the night to scatter and flee. Lu Hai Kong had easily secured victory in this battle.
However, after winning this battle, Lu Hai Kong strangely did not receive any rewards for the victory. Even the members of the Black Gale Legion did not gain any experience from this battle.
"This doesn't make sense. We didn't get any rewards for exterminating a tribe of 20,000, but the Black Gale Legion's level didn't even increase as much as the Elite Guard's did after destroying two medium-sized bandit forts. Does the System have some kind of restriction that requires us to grind against System monsters to level up faster?" Lu Hai Kong frowned.
In the 69th chapter of the first book of the first bar, there was no mistake!
Lu Hai Kong had chosen to target this tribe because one of his goals was to cultivate the Black Gale Legion. In this situation, Lu Hai Kong's plan had undoubtedly failed by fifty percent.
What left Lu Hai Kong speechless was that he searched the most luxurious tent in this tribe but found nothing valuable, only a few tens of thousands of gold. This made Lu Hai Kong a little depressed.
However, this tribe had many warhorses and livestock, although most of them had escaped during the chaos. But during the battle, Lu Hai Kong had members of the Fu Clan tribe following him, and they were skilled herders. They could handle the panicked horses and livestock.
After the battle, the Fu Clan tribe had captured over a thousand horses and several hundred cattle.
The Fu Clan tribe had completed their task well, but the number was much lower than what Lu Hai Kong had expected. Before the battle, he had seen the numbers in the Xianbei tribe and thought he could obtain at least the amount he had promised Ye Junru. But in the end, he only got a little over one-fifth of that.
But Lu Hai Kong thought that even a mosquito's leg is still meat. He directly ordered the Fu Clan tribe to send the horses and cattle back to the mountain camp. As for the few tens of thousands of gold from the Xianbei tribe, Lu Hai Kong did not waste it and directly used it to activate 'Heaven's Eye'.
