The cavalrymen of the Ancient Baye Tribe were surrounded and lost their mobility, becoming live targets.
They had lost the courage and power they had when they faced the Slave Soldiers, and were slaughtered by the Dragon City Iron Guards and the Back Wei Army.
The battle had already ended.
Now, all that was left was to 'clean'.
The slave warriors who had just been badly hit by the cavalrymen seized the chance to take revenge and killed the most.
"Aren't you Turks? Why did you help Tang Gou kill us?”
"That's right, you traitors will go to hell after you die!”
The cavalrymen of the Ancient Baye Tribe cursed loudly before they died.
"You are the Turks! Your entire family is Turks! We are the warriors of His Highness 'slave army!”
Zhan Nuyong berated, and he and his soldiers began to fight even harder.
The Slaves were originally people on the borders of the Turkic steppe, and they had always been bullied by the court and the large tribes. They had no regard for their Turkic identity.
Thus, they no longer regarded themselves as Turks and would not hesitate to kill their former clansmen.
The one-sided massacre lasted for half a day. During this period, there were cavalrymen of the Ancient Wilderness Tribe who wanted to surrender, but Li Yu did not accept it. He allowed his soldiers to kill all the enemies.
At this point, the 100,000 elite cavalrymen of the Ancient Baye Tribe, along with their commander Wuyetu, were completely annihilated.
There wasn't even a single person who could go back and report.
After the battle ended, Li Yu also completed the system's mission.
Congratulations to the host for annihilating the Vanguard Army of the Ancient Tribe. Reward: Divine Weapon Sun Shooting Bow x1!
[A new mission has been issued: Please eliminate the main force of the ancient tribe.]
As the system's voice fell, a bow and arrow appeared on Li Yu's back.
"Divine weapon?"
Li Yu picked up the bow and examined it. He found that the bow was completely golden. The bowstring seemed to be the tendon of some kind of creature. It was actually golden.
"System, where are the arrows?"
Li Yu asked.
The Sun Shooting Bow is a god-grade weapon. It doesn't have a matching arrow. When you pull the bowstring, an arrow will condense.
"So powerful?"
Li Yu was overjoyed and pulled the bowstring back.
Just as the system had said, as the bowstring was pulled back, a golden arrow gradually formed.
In order to test its power, Li Yu released the bowstring.
The golden arrow immediately flew out and shot towards the herd of cows and sheep. It only stopped after piercing through hundreds of cows and sheep.
"Good bow!"
Li Yu patted his bow excitedly.
The Sun Shooting Bow was powerful, but it also required immense strength to use.
Li Yu roughly estimated that the Sun Shooting Bow weighed at least a thousand pounds.
Other than him, there was no one else in the world who could use this bow.
"Your Highness, where did this divine bow come from? It's actually so powerful!”
Baiqi urged his horse over and asked in shock.
"I picked it up."
Li Yu found a random excuse, paused, and asked,""Why are you looking for me?"
"Your Highness, we've obtained quite a lot of spoils of war this time.”
Bai Qi took a piece of paper and walked over to Li Yu, handing it to him.
Li Yu took a look at the paper and found that it was written with the spoils of war.
The 100,000 elite cavalrymen also needed to eat, so they had brought a lot of cattle and sheep.
These cows and sheep had all become spoils of war.
200,000 cattle and sheep.
30,000 catties of dried meat.
50,000 horses.
There were countless armors and weapons.
"What a pity. If we didn't use the cannons, we could have captured a lot of warhorses.”
Li Yu threw the paper away.
"Without the cannons, we might not have been able to annihilate the enemy. The enemy had gone crazy and came to surround the cannons. The Dragon City Iron Guards and the Bei Wei Army were able to complete the encirclement. Of course, it was also thanks to the Slave War Army.”
Baiqi said in a deep voice.
Li Yu raised an eyebrow. Baiqi had always hated the Turks and looked down on the Slaves, but he had taken the initiative to mention the Slaves 'contributions.
Sensing Li Yu's confusion, Baiqi chuckled and explained,"I like people who are brave and hot-blooded. These slave warriors used their bodies to block the enemy cavalry's charge, so naturally, I'm impressed.”
"The Slaves are indeed loyal and brave."
Li Yu nodded and began to plan on upgrading Zhan Nujue's equipment and weapons.
The majority of the Slaves weren't skilled in military affairs, but they were still Turkic steppe tribesmen, so they were experts at riding horses and shooting arrows.
Therefore, the most suitable method of fighting for the Slaves was still riding and shooting.
After making his decision, Li Yu looked at Zhan Nuyong and ordered loudly,""Gather all your soldiers and queue up to receive weapons, armor, warhorses, and bows.”
Everyone in the slave army was stunned.
Bai Qi wanted to say something, but when he recalled how the slave warriors had formed a wall of flesh to stop the two cavalrymen from charging forward, he did not say anything.
"Your Highness, we're just a group of servants. We're already overwhelmed by your gifts. How could we dare to take those warhorses and equipment?”
Zhan Nuyong knelt on the ground, his forehead pressed against the ground as he respectfully declined.
"It's true that you're a servant army, but you've proven your courage and loyalty to me. You can put on this equipment and fight like normal soldiers.”
Li Yu shouted.
"I…"
Zhan Nuyong wanted to say something more, but considering that Li Yu liked to keep his word, he did not refuse and decisively went forward to take the equipment.
As the general of the servant army, Zhan Nuyong was only wearing a thin leather armor. But now, he could wear the hard leather armor of the elite cavalrymen of the Ancient Baye Tribe.
This kind of hard leather armor was wrapped in iron and could cover most of the body. It was much stronger than leather armor.
Zhan Nuyong put on the hard leather armor, then took out a scimitar, a bow, and a barrel of iron arrows.
In the end, he walked up to the warhorses and chose the strongest one.
After obtaining these items, Zhan Nuyong was already trembling all over, his face flushed with excitement.
Weapons, leather armor, bows, arrows, horses…
These items were as important to the Prairie people as their lives.
Previously, the small tribe that Zhan Nuyong was in was extremely poor and had only raised horses. As for iron weapons, bows, and arrows, they could forget about it.
At the time, Zhan Nuyong would never have dreamed that a Tang would bestow him with these things.
"Your Highness, I am willing to die for you."
Slave Zhan carried the bow on his back and knelt down to kowtow.
"I believe in your loyalty."
Li Yu smiled and nodded.
After that, all the soldiers of the slave army lined up to receive their equipment. This servant army, which used to look like beggars, had now changed into a riding and shooting army.
After distributing the spoils of war, Baiqi asked,"Your Highness, where are we going next?”
"Is there a need to ask? Of course we will continue fighting and try our best to destroy the main forces of the Ancient Baye Tribe.”
Li Yu said indifferently.
"Yes."
Baiqi went to command the troops.
Now that the vanguard of the Ancient Baye Tribe had been destroyed and the main force was still slowly advancing, Li Yu could take the initiative to find the enemy's main force instead of waiting for them on the plains.
The initiative of the war had already returned to Li Yu's hands.
