After formulating the battle plan, Long Tian asked them to prepare.

After no outsiders were present, Long Tian told Jia Xu about his idea and got Jia Xu's support. Although this move was a bit risky, in the long run, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages.

As for Long Tian's safety, he could only rely on many masters to protect him.

"Your Highness, the barbarians are not united. This action can be used as an attempt. If it is feasible, we can use the barbarians for our own use in the future. We can also find a new way."

"Simple killing can only solve the problem temporarily. If we want long-term peace and stability, we must fundamentally change the barbarians. If we can do this, the barbarians will be our best source of cavalry."

"Even because of geographical factors, we can have our own layout against Liang State."

This is why Jia Xu agreed to Long Tian's adventure.

In fact, the best executor of this battle should be Huo Qubing. In Long Tian's opinion, the ability of Fenglangjuxu to deal with the barbarians is stronger than Ran Min.

After all, it is a cavalry battle. Although Ran Min is fierce against foreign races, there are certain objective reasons. Huo Qubing's ability to lead cavalry raids is the strongest.

But at this moment, Huo Qubing needed to defend Liang State, so he could only be deployed later.

Originally, Long Tian planned to let Yue Fei replace Huo Qubing, but the court's army in Qingzhou was still there, and Long Tian was worried about Lu Bu, so he could only do so temporarily.

After everything was arranged, the next morning, Long Tian, ​​Ran Min, Jia Xu, Li Yuanba, Yao Yue, Lian Xing and others led 50,000 cavalry and left Guangning City.

The battle of Guangning City was fully handed over to Bai Qi and Chen Qingzhi, Dian Wei, and Yuwen Chengdu stayed to assist.

The 50,000 cavalry brought enough arrows, but not much food. On the one hand, Long Tian could provide them at any time, and on the other hand, this battle was fought with flexibility and mobility. If they lacked anything, they would go and grab it, and let the barbarians know the taste of being killed.

Three days later, the army hurried into the depths of the grassland.

"My Lord, the scouts reported that barbarian cavalry were found ahead, probably the barbarian vanguard attacking Guangning City."

Both sides were taking a shortcut, so it was easy to meet.

"How many people are there?"

Long Tian asked.

"Your Majesty, there are about 100,000 people. Do you think we should take action?"

The barbarians appeared. It is reasonable to block them and delay their advance.

"No, we will bypass them and not engage with them. The 100,000 cavalry will be handed over to Chen Qingzhi. We must enter the heartland of the barbarians as quickly as possible."

After thinking about it, Long Tian gave up. There was no need to expose himself at this time. Once the barbarian army was attracted, it would be difficult to achieve the purpose of this trip.

Under Long Tian's order, the army bypassed and let the barbarians pass.

Long Tian and his party avoided the barbarian army and continued to head towards the heartland of the barbarians. Along the way, they encountered some scattered small tribes.

After obtaining some intelligence, Long Tian ordered the killing of all the barbarians, including the old, young, women and children.

Not only for revenge, but also for confidentiality.

A few days later, Long Tian and his party had entered the depths of the barbarians, and the living bases of the barbarians could be seen almost at any time.

"Your Majesty, I have already found out that these barbarians belong to a small tribe called Zhagana under the Chaerhan tribe."

"This is a small tribe with a population of only over one million. Just a dozen miles ahead of us is the gathering place of the Zhagana tribe."

Along the way, a lot of information about the distribution of the barbarians has been found.

This is the first barbarian tribe of a certain scale that Long Tian has encountered.

"With over one million people, excluding the elderly, the weak, women and children, the Zhagana tribe has at most hundreds of thousands of soldiers that can fight. Now that the barbarians are attacking Xia and Liang, the troops of this tribe will inevitably be withdrawn. This king guesses that the Zhagana tribe has at most 50,000 soldiers available at this time."

"We will quickly eliminate the enemy's troops through a surprise attack, and we can still fight this battle."

Long Tian analyzed that this is also a feature of the barbarians. Once the war starts, they will mobilize troops from various tribes.

"Ran Min, kill all the barbarians here, don't expose us, send people to find the exact location of the Zhagana tribe, we will raid tonight."

At this moment, Long Tian estimated that Chen Qingzhi and Bai Qi should have fought with the barbarians. In order to relieve their pressure, this side must also make some noise.

As night fell, 50,000 Zhenbei Army cavalry quietly ate dry food, which were all snatched from the barbarians. It was not suitable to make a fire and cook at this moment.

"Your Highness, everything has been investigated clearly."

Ran Min reported.

"Okay, Ran Min, wait until late at night before we act."

"This battle must make a big noise. Don't kill anyone in this battle. Let some barbarians leave and spread the news that we have entered the grassland."

Long Tian ordered.

A lot of people have been killed before, which should have aroused the vigilance of the barbarians, but the noise was too small.The lives of nearly one million people in the Zhagana tribe were enough to attract the attention of the barbarians.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and there was almost no light except for the bright moon in the sky.

The barbarians of the Zhagana tribe had all fallen asleep at this time. Except for the occasional screams of women, the entire tribe was quiet, and even the barbarian soldiers in charge of guarding were already drowsy.

Suddenly, the earth seemed to start shaking.

"No, it's cavalry, enemy attack."

The barbarians were all cavalry, and they were accustomed to such vibrations. After all, the various tribes of the barbarians, big and small, fought each other for various resources all year round.

The rise and fall of the tribes were as frequent as commonplace.

In this nation that respects strength, they admire the strong, and surrendering to the strong is not a humiliation, but is regarded as an honor. This is why Long Tian firmly believes that he can win the hearts of some barbarians.

However, although some people quickly realized the danger, it was almost impossible to rush into the battle without any preparation. Everyone in the Zhenbei Army had a deep hatred for the barbarians. Now that they had the upper hand, they naturally attacked faster and more fiercely. Regardless of whether they were real barbarians or not, as long as they saw the barbarians, they would not hesitate to swing their swords and kill them.

So, in a blink of an eye, the Zhagana tribe was already in a bloody storm, with blood flowing like a river.

After the chief of the Zhagana tribe received the news of the attack, he immediately organized his people to fight, but when he saw that the enemy on the opposite side was actually the well-equipped Xia cavalry, he was stunned for a moment.

The news that the barbarians attacked the Xia Kingdom was almost known throughout the grassland, and the Zhagana tribe also sent half of the tribe's soldiers to participate.

How did they find the Xia cavalry in the depths of the grassland? This had never happened before.

The deafening shouting and killing woke the chief up. This was not the time to think too much, and he had to find a way to fight back.

The combat effectiveness of the Xia Kingdom's cavalry is limited. Unless it is a private army like the Phoenix Army, which is cultivated at all costs, it can compete with the barbarians in terms of combat effectiveness.

Therefore, after a brief panic, the people of the Zhagana tribe aroused their fighting spirit and began to fight back.
