After the battle, only Li Yu and the tribesmen were left.
"Go, kill 200 of the tribesmen.”
Liyu ordered Baiqi.
"Ah?"
Bai Qi was stunned.
He thought that these tribesmen had expressed their feelings through the battle and had been recognized by Li Yu, but in the end, they still wanted to kill 200 people?
However, this was Li Yu's order. In the end, Bai Qi still stepped forward and drew his sword.
"General!"
A tribesman stepped forward and mustered his courage to say loudly,""Just now, we fought a bloody battle with our leader. We showed our loyalty and were willing to serve you, but why did you kill us?”
The person who spoke was the first tribe member who had gone to fight the leaders.
Li Yu recognized him, so he didn't blame him for speaking up. Instead, he explained calmly,"Because not all of you joined the battle quickly. Some of you joined after the outcome was clear.”
Hearing this, the tribesman thought about it and realized that it was true.
Just when the battle was about to end, a group of hesitant people joined the battle.
"I'll give you a chance. Give me those people, and I'll only kill them.”
Li Yu ordered loudly.
Soon, the tribesmen pushed out the people who had joined the battle just before the battle was about to end.
It wasn't just 200 people. These tribesmen were very responsive to Li Yu's orders. They even pushed out people who had only joined in the middle of the battle.
"You bastards, why didn't you respond immediately!”
Another tribesman stepped forward and scolded angrily.
After saying that, he picked up the knife on the ground and wanted to start killing the first person.
In the next second, a spear flew over and pierced through his arm.
"I'm loyal, why attack me?”
The tribesman looked at the spear on his arm in confusion.
"Loyalty isn't enough. I need you to follow my orders. You're not allowed to do anything without my orders.”
Li Yu slowly stepped forward and pulled out his spear. At the same time, he said,"Scram to the back. There is someone in my cavalry who knows medicine. He will treat your arm.”
"Thank you."
The tribesman clutched his bleeding arm. Not only was he not angry, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed before running back.
"Your Highness, good move."
Baiqi walked up to Li Yu and gave him a thumbs up.
"Heh."
Li Yu also smiled.
This was his method.
During the battle, these slaves expressed their intentions and displayed their courage and loyalty. This meant that they were completely loyal to Li Yu.
After the battle, Li Yu began to count the people who did not join the battle immediately. Li Yu stabbed another person who wanted to kill without his order.
This action taught them to follow orders.
Without orders, they were not allowed to move. What Li Yu needed was not undisciplined cannon fodder.
After that, Li Yu asked the injured person to be treated. This was the carrot behind the stick.
After a series of operations, the effect was extremely good.
"Kill these people and come back with me.”
Li Yu ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
Only then did the tribesmen step forward and pick up their knives to kill those who did not join the battle immediately.
"Pick up the weapons on the ground and bring out all the cattle, horses, and sheep in your tribe.”
Li Yu ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
The tribesmen immediately began to move.
After this recruitment operation, Li Yu obtained 30,000 men, 20,000 women and children, and 1,000 cattle, sheep, and horses.
The resources were too shabby, but the soldiers were much more, which was a great benefit.
After everything was done, Li Yu announced two orders.
Firstly, the men would be incorporated into the slave army, while the women and children would be incorporated into the logistics camp to feed the horses.
Second, everyone was divided into different groups like the Tang army. Each group had twenty people, and if one escaped, the entire group would be beheaded.
These orders were very strict, but they were also necessary.
In this day and age, Tang soldiers who escaped were also beheaded, but they were not punished.
There was a saying that kindness did not lead to war.
After announcing these orders, Liyu asked the tribesmen, no, the war slaves and soldiers,""Do you have any objections?"
Hearing this, the Slaves Army soldiers fell silent.
Of course not.
After all, the corpses of the leaders who had previously objected were still piled on the ground.
"This is my order. If I ask you to say something, then say it!”
Li Yu berated sternly.
"I really don't have any objections. I just want to ask, when can I take revenge?”
a Slave Warrior asked.
"You bunch of trash, you don't even have iron or leather armor and you still want revenge?”
Li Yu glanced at the Slaves with disdain. He paused and said,""I've sent someone to inform them. In a while, someone will be transporting iron and leather armor.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Slaves soldiers burst into cheers.
"I can finally have a metal weapon!"
"What exactly is the ironware like? Is it as powerful as others say? I've only seen the guards of the leaders use it.”
"Of course they are sharp. With these, we can kill those people from the big tribes!”
“……”
As the slave soldiers cheered, a tall and sturdy Turkic herdsman walked forward and bowed with his hand on his chest."General, the nearest place to us is the Iron Strangle Clan. I know how to get there. The Iron Strangle Clan has a lot of cattle, sheep, and money.”
"Tiele Division? I've killed 100,000 people outside Youzhou City.”
Li Yu said disdainfully.
"My esteemed general, the Turks have been accumulating strength over the years. The large tribes have plundered the smaller tribes to amass large numbers of people and soldiers. The same goes for the Tiele Tribe. The deaths of a hundred thousand people are nothing to them.”
the soldier said.
"Then let's go to the Tiele Division."
Li Yu immediately agreed.
……
In the afternoon.
In the Ironwind Division.
Zhi Zhili, the new leader of the Irontail Division, sat on the throne, holding his forehead and feeling a headache.
In front of him was the Shaman, the envoy of the royal court.
"Leader, the Khagan asks you to give him some cattle, sheep, and jewelry. He wants to organize an army to return to Tang Dog's territory and avenge your father.”
The Shaman said respectfully.
"But come on, our Iron Strangle Tribe has suffered a great loss. We have many women and children, but we don't have tens of thousands of warriors.”
Zhi Zhili acted pitiful at first, then his eyes turned cold and he said in a strange tone,"But then again, although our Irontail Tribe is in a rather miserable state right now, we can still gather nearly a hundred thousand soldiers if we mobilize them at full force. I hope that Khagan will not forget about Irontail Tribe and will not allow other tribes to oppress us.”
"Don't worry about that. The Khagan remembers your father's contributions.”
Shaman immediately said.
"That's good. We'll talk about the jewelry and cattle later.”
Zhi Zhili stood up and walked out of the tent. He mounted his warhorse and wanted to go out for a run to vent his frustration.
However, when he reached the entrance of the tribe, he was stunned.
On the snowy ground not far away, a thousand armored cavalry slowly advanced.
In front of the cavalry, there were thirty thousand tribal people with red eyes and ferocious expressions.
