Qin Feng squatted down to take a closer look. This person's wound was from the neck down to the waist, a deep scar that ran through the entire chest cavity. His flesh was exposed, and he died in an extremely miserable manner.
He reached out and touched it. He felt that there was still some body temperature, and the blood had not completely solidified.
"He died not long ago."
"Yes."
"The entire tribe of nearly 500 people have all died. The old, the young, and the strong have all died.”
"Judging from the wound, it should be the work of the Xiongnu.”
Qin Feng nodded.”
"We're already very close to the Xiongnu's territory, so we must be extra careful. We have so many people here, so we're a big target.”
"Xu Gong, send more brothers from the Embroidered Uniform Guards out. The road ahead is unknown, so we must scout it out clearly.
So many people from this tribe have been killed, and their bodies are still warm. This means that the Xiongnu people didn't leave for long, and we didn't notice them at all.”
"I don't want such a thing to happen again!”
"Yes, General!"
Cold sweat broke out on Xu Gong's back. Qin Feng's tone was quite harsh.
After investigating the situation, the army continued to set off.
The tragedy that happened in this grassland tribe also shocked Qin Feng.
This was the first time they had entered the northern plains. The road ahead was unknown, so they had to be careful.
What Qin Feng didn't know was that they had really been targeted.
On the leeward side of a small mountain not far away from them, a group of people was resting.
They were wearing short shirts and long pants. They looked fierce, had thick beards, high noses, and deep eye sockets. All of them were tall.
"Dammit!"
One of them shouted,"The Double Happiness Tribe is really poor. They have nothing."”
"Big brother, I just found an army behind us. Do you dare to make a fortune?”
"Army?"
"That's right big brother, and it's the Qin country's army."
Jin Riren asked in confusion,"
"Why is the Qin army here?"
"I don't know. There should be close to twenty thousand of them.”
"Twenty thousand people?"
"Yes, and looking at the deep marks on the wheels, I'm afraid there are many good things.”
" Winter is coming soon," the man said." It's time for our Golden Crow Tribe to pay tribute to the Huyan Tribe. Otherwise, we'll probably be wiped out."”
"Cheers!"
Hearing this, Jin Riren made up his mind and said,"
" The army of the Central Plains has always been cowardly. Although we have few people, we are all brave. Let's go and kill them…"
These people were the nomads of the grassland, from the Golden Crow Tribe.
The Golden Crow Tribe was a small tribe near the State of Qin. They were attached to the Huyan Tribe.
As one of the five great tribes, Huyan was quite powerful. However, it was also because of this that he was quite overbearing.
Every winter, they would ask the other tribes to pay tribute.
Moreover, it was a mandatory request. If you didn't give it to him, he would kill you.
This was the law of survival on the grasslands.
There was still some time before winter, so they didn't need to come out so early to hunt.
However, the five tribes of the Xiongnu had just suffered a crushing defeat and were in need of all kinds of resources. As a result, this year's Winter Tribute Day had been brought forward a lot.
The Golden Crow Tribe had no choice but to send people over to sweep the grassland.
However, what annoyed Jin Riren was that he didn't gain anything this time.
That small tribe was too poor. They searched everywhere but found nothing rare. In a fit of anger, Jin Riren went on a killing spree and slaughtered everyone!
However, it was still difficult for him to vent his anger. It was fine for him to make a wasted trip, but he would definitely be ridiculed by those fellows when he returned. He could not take it anymore.
Jin Riren was the second son of Jin Riji, the leader of the Golden Crow Tribe. In order to win his father's appreciation, he had fought hard to get the chance to go out hunting.
Just as they were about to fail, the Qin army appeared.
In his eyes, this was like someone giving him a pillow when he was sleepy.
"According to our investigation, there are very deep wheel marks wherever the Qin army passes by. This means that they must have brought a lot of rations.”
Another person said,
"But they have more than 20,000 people while we only have less than 5,000. Isn't the difference too big?”
"The people of the Central Plains are all cowardly two-legged sheep!”
Jin Riren said disdainfully,"
"We are powerful warriors. We don't have to fight. The main thing is to snatch things!”
"Especially their weapons and bronze artifacts. If we bring these back, we will definitely be able to gain father's appreciation.”
Jin Riren quickly made a decision. After his order was given, everyone mounted their horses and returned to the city in the dark.
At this moment, Qin Feng also received accurate news from the scouts of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
As expected, there were indeed Xiongnu people.
They had not even entered the depths of the grassland and had already encountered the Xiongnu people. This was something they had not expected.
However, Qin Feng didn't panic. On the contrary, he was eager to try.
More than half of the 20,000 people he brought were new recruits, so he could take this opportunity to train his soldiers.
The scouts of the Brocade Guard were all dispatched, sending back a steady stream of information.
This group of Xiongnu people had already rushed towards them without any concealment.
"My lord, it seems that these Xiongnu people have already treated us as fat sheep!”
Qin Feng said disdainfully," They have less than 5,000 people, and it's a night battle. Do they really think they are invincible?”
"This is the characteristic of the people of the grasslands.”
"This is stupid!"
"Bravery is a necessary quality for a warrior, but it's definitely not a boor…" Qin Feng said coldly.
