Your fiefdom gains one soldier every second, what should you do, Queen Mother?

On the fifth day, the time agreed with Kruch arrived, and Cao Mengyi led the remaining 60,000 Yinglong troops to the place where grain was to be delivered.

The soldiers of Yinglong Army all had solemn expressions. Without food, they probably guessed that there would be a battle today.

Even if they didn't have food, they wouldn't be able to hold out for long without it. Unless they killed their war horses and ate their horse meat, they would never be able to get out of the grassland alive.

But losing their war horses meant that their marching speed would be greatly reduced, and if they slowed down, they would have to consume more food, and if they had no food, they would have to continue killing war horses...

This is a vicious cycle. How long can they sustain this way?

Soon, Kruchi arrived here with the Hu army and cattle, sheep and horses. The former smiled and said to Cao Mengyi:

"General Cao, I have brought the cattle, sheep and horses. Where is the food I want?"

Cao Mengyi took a deep breath, rode his horse forward a few steps and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, General Kruchi, the food you wanted was robbed by the Marquis of Zhenxi."

Kruchi was startled, and then he shouted angrily: "Kidnapped? Marquis Zhenxi? Who is Marquis Zhenxi?"

"He was the commander of the cavalry that charged at you that night. Maybe you don't know the name of Zhenxi Hou, but you should have heard of Ying Tianqian, right?"

"Ying Tiangan!?" Kruchi was shocked again, "Is it your Great Ying General Ying Tiangan?"

Cao Mengyi nodded and said, "That's right. This Zhenxi Marquis is the son of Ying Tianqian. Let me tell you another piece of news. The Tu clan was destroyed by him."

"What?" This time, it was not only Kruchi who was surprised, but other generals in the Hu army were also shocked.

The Tu clan was annihilated by this Zhenxi Marquis? They thought it was the Han army in front of them.

Kruchi pondered for a while, then sneered: "In that case, where is this Zhenxi Hou?"

Cao Mengyi shrugged helplessly and said, "Unfortunately, I don't know where he is. He should be hiding in some corner of the grassland at this moment."

"I have sent out many scouts to search everywhere these days, but I haven't found any trace of them."

Kruchi narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "So... you can't find the Marquis of Zhenxi?"

"Exactly."

"In that case, then our treaty is invalid, right?" Krutch said as he put his hand on the hilt of the knife.

"You guys are really suspicious. You are all Han Chinese, but from what you said, you are not from the same group."

"The Marquis of Zhenxi may rebel against Daying, so he is an enemy to me." Cao Mengyi said seriously.

Kruchi laughed: "What a joke! If the Marquis of Zhenxi has the possibility of rebelling against your Great Ying, then why did he come to the grassland? Why did he come to my Nagor tribe after destroying the Tu tribe?"

"Even if he wins the war, many soldiers will die if he destroys us Hu people. What's his purpose in doing this?"

Kruchi pulled out his sword and said, "What nonsense! I think you Han people just don't want to hand over the food and cooperate with us Hu people! That's why you staged this!"

"Brothers! Kill these Han Chinese! Since they dare to play tricks on us, chop them up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Hu army behind Kruchi immediately rode their horses to charge towards the Yinglong army, and he himself also rode his horse among the team and charged forward.

Cao Mengyi had anticipated this happening, so at his command, the Yinglong army behind him immediately formed their battle formation.

The two sides were separated by a distance of several hundred meters. The Hu people charged forward while riding and shooting arrows, while the Yinglong army held up shields to block arrows and shot arrows at the Hu people from behind.

The shooting between the two armies did not last long, because the Hu cavalry had already reached the front of the Yinglong army, making it difficult for both sides to shoot arrows.

The Yinglong army and the Hu soldiers were fighting together. Cao Mengyi held his spear and looked for his target, and Kruchi was also looking for his target.

At the same time, Huang Yan, who heard the fighting outside, came out of the tent. He grabbed a soldier and asked, "What happened outside? Why are there fighting sounds?"

"Sir, we are at war with the Hu army again! General Cao is leading his army to meet the enemy!" the soldier replied.

Huang Yan's face suddenly changed. He shouted at the top of his voice, "Going to war with the Hu people again? Didn't they say they had signed a ceasefire agreement? Why are they still fighting?"

"I heard that because we couldn't hand over the food, the Hu people came with cattle, sheep and horses, and when they saw that we had no food, they started fighting."

"Cao Mengyi is such an idiot! Couldn't he tell the barbarians that he would suffer for two days before the food arrived? What an idiot!"

Huang Yan cursed loudly and asked the soldiers to carry him on the horse, and then he ordered all the soldiers who were looking after him to come.

Just when he was thinking about escaping from the battlefield again, he suddenly remembered that Ying Xuanze was still on the grassland, and the desire to escape disappeared in an instant.

"I wonder where this damn Ying Xuanze is hiding. If I try to escape and get caught by him, I'm afraid I'll lose my life."

Huang Yan muttered to himself and rode his horse towards the battlefield. Now he could only believe that Cao Mengyi could repel the Hu people and even win.

He rode to the battlefield, and the soldiers guarding him also followed on horseback.

Only after arriving at the battlefield did he realize how tragic and bloody the real battlefield was. The ground was littered with corpses and broken limbs.

He was used to a life of luxury and had never seen such a scene before. After just a few glances, he felt nauseous and vomited out everything he had eaten in the morning.

No wonder his father never let him go to the battlefield. If it weren't for this great military achievement that could give him a chance to take advantage of it, he would never have set foot on the battlefield in his life.

"Go! Go! I can't stand seeing this!" Huang Yan was eager to retreat, but suddenly he heard the sound of horse hooves.

He turned around and saw a Hu general with dozens of Hu cavalry appearing on his right.

The Hu general Lu Yule was very excited. He pointed his spear at Huang Yan and said sternly, "Generals in front, please tell me your names. I, Lu Yule, will not kill nameless people!"

Huang Yan's face flushed red. He drew out his sword and shouted angrily, "You damn barbarian! Do you think you are worthy enough to shout in front of me?"

"Do you know who I am? Don't you know who my father is?"

Lu Yule frowned, and he said again in a stern voice: "You young boy, you are quite arrogant despite your age! Then I want to know who you are and who your father is!"

Huang Yan raised his head and laughed: "Remember! My name is Huang Yan, and my father is the great general Huang Chan of Daying! Haha! Are you scared? If so, get out of here right now!"

Lu Yule's face was solemn. He looked at Huang Yan and felt that this boy was fat and weak. Although he looked tall and strong, he actually had no fighting power at all.

The son of a great general? It is a great tragedy for the general of Daying to have such a son!

Lu Yule had a sarcastic look on his face. He laughed and said, "Great General Huang Chan? I have never heard of him. I only know that there is a general named Ying Tianqian in your Great Ying. He once dealt a heavy blow to the Tu clan. He is a powerful figure!"

"As for this Huang Chan, could it be that he appointed himself as a great general? Otherwise, how could he train a fat man like you?"

Huang Yan's face turned even redder after hearing this. He said angrily, "Who the hell is Ying Tianqian? He is just a defeated general of my father!"

"I haven't even heard of Huang Chan. They are indeed a bunch of barbarians, frogs in the well!"

Lu Yule sneered and said, "So what if you haven't heard of it? What's the point of saying your father's name on the battlefield? If I want to kill you, can he show up in time to save you?"

"When you die here, let your general father come and collect your body!"

"Wait until your father comes, then I'll kill him and let your mother come and collect his body!"

"If your mother comes, let her become our Hu people's slave and serve all the men in our Hu people tribe, hahahaha!"

Lu Yule laughed wildly, and this arrogance made Huang Yan's body tremble with anger, and the wound on his leg seemed to burst open because of anger.

But he didn't care about the severe pain in his leg. He just wanted to chop off the head of this Hu general.

"You damn barbarian! I'm going to chop you to death!" As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Yan held the sword and was about to ride forward.

The surrounding Yinglong Army soldiers hurriedly stopped him, "No, sir! Let's retreat quickly! Leave this to General Cao!"

"You protect the young master, and the rest of you follow me! Chop off this guy's head and vent the young master's anger!"

After saying that, the team guarding Huang Yan immediately split into two groups. One group took him to retreat, while the other group held spears and killed towards Lu Yule.

The two teams collided with each other, and after every roar, someone would fall off the horse.

There were both Hu cavalry and Yinglong Army soldiers, and Lu Yule was killing the Yinglong Army with excitement, his eyes locked on the direction where Huang Yan left.

This little fat man seems to be of an important position, otherwise there wouldn't be so many soldiers guarding him.

If he can capture him alive and bring him back to the tribe, the king will reward him handsomely.

Since he said his father was a great general, he should be able to exchange his life for a lot of food and clothes from the general, right?

Thinking of this, Lu Yule became even more excited. After killing several Yinglong soldiers who were in the way, he rode his horse and called several elite Hu people to follow him to chase Huang Yan.

This time, both the Yinglong army and the Hu troops fought their opponents at the risk of their lives.

The commanders of the two armies had no intention of stopping, but the combat effectiveness of the Yinglong Army was superior to that of the Hu people, and the Yinglong Army had a slight advantage in the ratio of casualties.

But the support of the Hu troops continued. When Cao Mengyi felt it, he ordered the army to shorten the front line and try his best to prevent the Hu troops from breaking through.

At the same time, several cavalrymen rode their horses to a small hilltop. They reported to Ying Xuanze on horseback: "My lord, the Hu people and the Yinglong army have started fighting again. The battle is very fierce, and there have been many casualties on both sides."

Ying Xuanze nodded and said, "Okay, let them continue fighting. When both sides are defeated, we will join the battlefield."

"Haha, Yunchang is right. We just need to wait. Without food, the Yinglong Army will not be able to sit still."

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and smiled faintly: "Without food, anyone would go crazy, let alone a team of so many people."

Ying Xuanze smiled, his eyes sparkling and his heart filled with confidence.

During the five days he was waiting, his points increased a lot. As long as he was willing, he could exchange them for an army of tens of thousands of people at any time.

But he was not in a hurry. He wanted to wait until both sides were defeated before exchanging troops. When he led the large army to the battlefield, he wondered what expressions the generals on both sides would have?

On the other side, Huang Yan and his escort were stopped by the Hu soldiers who came to attack them while they were retreating.

The guards took some time to resolve the trouble but also lost many soldiers. When they were about to leave, Lu Yule had already arrived with his troops.

"Haha, little fat man! Why are you running? Your head seems to be very valuable?" Lu Yule stabbed a guard to death while grinning.

Huang Yan looked back in horror, and seeing Lu Yule getting closer and closer to him, he almost fell off the horse in panic.

"Protect me! Protect me quickly!" Huang Yan shouted to the Yinglong soldiers fighting around him.

But every soldier was fighting with the Hu soldiers, and the battlefield was in chaos at this time, and no one dared to focus on other places.

Lu Yule killed another guard who was trying to stop him, and Huang Yan had no one left to use.

When he turned his head and saw Lu Yule raising his right hand holding the gun, he panicked and this time he did not hold the reins tightly and fell off the horse.

He fell flat on his face, his mouth full of grass and dirt, and he felt a sharp pain in his legs.

But he didn't care about his legs and his miserable appearance. He wanted to escape from here immediately because Lu Yule was still chasing him.

"Little Fatty! Come with me obediently! Then I'll ask your father, a general, to bring food to redeem me!"

While laughing, Lu Yule leaned down to grab Huang Yan. The latter turned over on the ground and looked at Lu Yule with despair.

At this moment, a cold light flashed, and the next second, a lot of blood splattered on Huang Yan's face.

Lu Yule's left forearm was cut off, and the white bones were clearly visible at the broken arm. The flesh on the surface was even throbbing slightly.

Cao Mengyi suddenly rushed out from the side, and before Lu Yule could scream, the former swung his sword again and chopped off the latter's head.

Lu Yule's head rolled in front of Huang Yan. He looked at the dilated pupils and shocked expression, and blood was even oozing out.

He screamed and kicked the head away, shouting, "Get away! Get away from me!"

"Young Master! Calm down! He's dead!" Cao Mengyi got off his horse and tried to help Huang Yan up from the ground.

However, Huang Yan grabbed his sword and swung it forward violently, almost stabbing Cao Mengyi.

"Brother Cao! Cao Mengyi! You failed to protect me last time. Do you want me to die this time? Ah? Do you want me to die?"

Huang Yan screamed hysterically, and Cao Mengyi's expression suddenly changed, but he still hid his dissatisfaction.

"War is like this, my boy. If we lose, the outcome will be even worse."

"Then we can't lose!" Huang Yan yelled at the top of his voice: "Did you hear me? We can't lose!"

"These are 100,000 elite soldiers of the Yinglong Army! They can't lose! Didn't father say that you are very good at leading troops in battle? How can you not defeat a group of barbarians with 100,000 elite soldiers of the Yinglong Army?"

"If you can't win, it means you are useless! You are just a show-off! If Ying Xuanze can't be eliminated, and the Hu people can't be defeated, then what's the point of keeping you?"

"Go back to your frontier right now, and stop eating and drinking in my Huang Mansion!"

Cao Mengyi suppressed his anger, put away his sword and bowed silently, saying: "Yes, sir, I will do my best to kill the enemy, these barbarians will not be able to escape."

Before leaving, he glanced at Huang Yan, as if he was looking at a dead person.
