Once the money was in place, twenty steamships were immediately shipped to Nanhai County, where a fleet was set up to transport people and goods.
At the same time, the rubber factory has also begun to be built. From now on, rubber will be continuously sent to Daqin for processing and production into various daily necessities!
Xianyang is making intensive preparations, and the 50,000-strong army led by Han Xin is not idle either. After all the soldiers and baggage arrived at Longxi County by train, they began to organize the army!
It is not only adjacent to the Yueshi people, but also adjacent to the Qiang people.
It is best to organize the army from here!
Their first target is the tribe closest to Longxi County, Salat!
"Xu..."
On the vast grassland, a young man tightened his reins, quickly dismounted, and broke into the tent.
"Dad... Dad... It's not good. I'm reporting from the front. A large number of troops suddenly arrived from Longxi, about 50,000 people. I'm afraid those who came are not evil!"
He is Danmu, the son of Salat, the leader of this tribe.
At this time, Sarath was discussing with several senior leaders of the tribe. When he saw his son rushing in in a panic, he felt embarrassed and his face immediately darkened, "The army is just the army, why are you panicking?"
"No, Dad, when Longxi gathered forces last time, Yueshi and Wusun were destroyed. This time they gather forces again, I'm afraid the target is us!"
Danmu frowned, looking panicked.
There is no way, Da Qin has suddenly risen in recent years and continues to expand outwards.
And I heard that a very strange weapon was used when killing Yuezhi and Wusun.
As long as you are hit by this kind of weapon, you will almost certainly die!
This matter has spread like crazy throughout their entire Qiang tribe!
"So what if it's us? Our Qiang tribe is scattered and nomadic. We have no fixed foothold at all. It's not that easy to annihilate us in one fell swoop!"
Sarat rolled his eyes and said confidently.
"The leader is right. Although we are close to Longxi, we are still hundreds of miles away. There is a wide river between us. If they really come to attack, the best we can do is run!"
"That's right! Even if Great Qin has magical weapons, our war horses' foot power is definitely better than theirs. We can lead them back to the hinterland and bury them directly!"
"Humph! As long as they enter the hinterland, they can't even think of coming out. Even if they are sleepy, they can be trapped to death...!"
In the tent, several senior officials who were discussing together also spoke out in favor of Sarat's approach.
The Qin army is getting stronger and stronger. They are close to Da Qin and there is no way they are not prepared at all.
The hinterland these people call is the ambush they set up in advance!
Surrounded by mountains on all sides, it is wide in the middle and has extremely narrow entrances and exits.
Countless boulders were prepared at the top of the mountain and at the entrance and exit. As long as the Qin army was brought in, people would be sent to block the entrance and exit with boulders.
If the boulder is pushed down from the top of the mountain, it will definitely make the Qin army cry for father and mother!
By then, no matter how powerful their weapons are, it will be useless!
"Can……"
"What else is there to do? Just tell the front and pay close attention to the movements of the Qin army!"
Danmu wanted to say something more, but Sarat waved his hand to stop him and motioned for him to go out.
If it weren't for the fact that this son was brave and resourceful and that he was the heir in his heart, it wouldn't be as simple as letting him out at this moment.
As a son of the Qiang people, he is so timid and afraid of getting into trouble, so a lesson is inevitable!
With no other choice, Danmu had no choice but to open the tent curtain angrily and walk out with his head hanging down!
If he remembered correctly, the Xiongnu were also a nomadic people, and they also had horses that they thought were good at their feet, but weren't they finally destroyed by the Qin?
Even if they prepare a trap in advance, if their horses cannot outrun the Qin army, then the trap will be in vain!
"Okay! Leave him alone and let's continue discussing this year's grazing plan!"
After Danmu left, Sarat glanced at everyone in the tent, and a smile appeared on his rough face.
"good!"
Everyone nodded and continued the previous topic.
However, before he could say a few words, the earth suddenly shook violently and made a huge roar, from far to near.
The expressions of everyone in the tent suddenly changed!
The Salat tribe is not big, with only five thousand people in total. Even if all the herdsmen, cattle and sheep were added together, they would not cause the earth to shake like this!
Therefore, everyone knows what this means!
"Damn it!"
Zarate cursed, stood up quickly, and went outside the tent to check the situation.
Several other high-level tribe officials followed suit!
I saw black flags flying in the distance on the horizon, thousands of horses galloping, rolling up residual grass and sand.
The birds flapped their wings randomly and flew around!
"Bang bang bang..."
In the tribe, the sound of gongs rang like raindrops, "The Qin army is coming... everyone, run away...!"
Seeing this, several of the heads, without saying a word, grabbed a good horse beside them and rode on it. They clamped their legs on the horse's belly and ran in the opposite direction.
At this critical juncture, you can't even care about your family or property. It would be great if you can save your life!
"Danmu, why are you still in a daze? Run away!"
Sarat stretched out his palm as big as a cattail leaf fan, lifted Danmu onto the horse, and kicked the horse's butt.
The horses felt pain and immediately started running.
At the same time, Dan Mu also came back to his senses, "Dad, why did the Qin army come so fast?"
"How do I know this?"
The father and son galloped on horseback, not caring about so much, and headed straight for the hinterland.
"The Qiang people are right in front, let's charge!"
"rush……"
Han Xin raised his arms and shouted, and 50,000 soldiers responded immediately, like a flood of beasts, breaking into the ears of Sarath and others.
"Bang bang bang..."
Immediately afterwards, the sound of a furry gun sounded behind Sarat.
But at this time, they had no time to look back and could only rush forward to get rid of these Qin troops!
Although he did not expect the Qin army to come so quickly, he still had confidence in their grassland war horses!
What's more, there is his tribe behind him.
Didn't the Qin army attack the Qiang people just to seize territory and get spoils of war?
He will never give up on his tribe and pursue people like them with all his strength!
However, things were not what he expected!
"Rumble..."
Behind him, the sound of horse hooves like a rolling torrent was getting closer and closer, forcing him to turn back and take a look at the situation!
I saw that after the Qin army arrived at the tribe, they left 10,000 people in an orderly manner and surrounded the tribe. Another 10,000 people went to chase the fleeing herdsmen. The others were riding fast horses and were rushing towards them!
"This... this is impossible. How can Da Qin's war horses run faster than our war horses on the grassland?"
Sarath stared in disbelief.
They consider themselves to be a nation on horseback, and even five- and six-year-old children can control horses with ease!
And how could the people of Qin develop such good equestrian skills when they were busy all day long?
