Chapter 1422 Super Department
The horses are rustling and the long sword is sparkling.
A cavalry army of several thousand people appeared to the west of Changsheng Prairie, and an infantry army of more than 20,000 people appeared further away from the cavalry army.
Stuck between the cavalry and the infantry, there were thousands of brown-haired beasts like giant elephants carrying sacks.
The sacks contained grain, dried meat and other foods.
This uninvited guest from the west was well equipped.
They wore plate armor similar to Dajiang's and iron helmets on their heads, with only a hole exposed for easy viewing.
The difference is that their armor only covers the waist, the lower body is only decorated with metal plates, and the rest is wrapped in armor.
As for their mounts, regardless of their coat color, they are all large maroon horses with four thick hooves.
This kind of horse is not very fast, but its heavy load and impact have few rivals among horses.
The most prominent feature of these people is that all of them wear yellow feathers on their helmets.
The golden feathers on the top mean that everything the sun shines on is the homeland, which is the golden top.
Thanks to the efforts of nearly ten generations of chiefs, most of Jinding has finally developed from a nomadic tribe in the desert into a super-large tribe with the sea to the south, desert grasslands to the east, and endless dark forests to the west and north.
The Jinding tribe is composed of various tribes and states.
The way of life of people in each tribe is also different.
Some people live on the grasslands and make a living by grazing.
Some people go to the sea and fish for generations.
Moreover, people from these coastal states live scattered on various islands near the sea, and they all use a watercraft called "narrow boats" to travel between them.
Others live on the edge of the forest and make a living by hunting.
But these people are not the main force of Jinding tribe.
The main force of the Jinding tribe is the original inhabitants who grow a kind of brown grass rice on the vast Damia plain.
These people are the cornerstone of the development of the Jinding tribe to its present level.
Because they provide enough food to most of the entire Jinding.
Therefore, although the Jinding tribe was formed by nomadic tribes on the grasslands, it was supported by the "plains people" who grew food on the plains.
In addition, they also relied on people near the sea to provide salt and seafood, and relied on people near the forest to discover various mineral deposits, such as iron, copper, gold, silver, etc.
However, the space for the development of Jinding tribes has also been greatly restricted.
Forests, seas, and deserts have limited space for them to move.
It’s difficult for the tribe to go further!
However, after several generations of hard work, the Jinding tribe has sufficient food and strong soldiers and horses. They are no longer satisfied with living in a corner.
At present, their only way out is to go east and northeast across the grassland, or go east directly across the desert to discover the existence of new territory.
Grassland is undoubtedly their first choice!
And the Lord of Heaven seemed to be fond of them. After wandering on the grassland for several years, they finally discovered a tribe called Qinghu tribe in the east.
There are twenty to thirty thousand people in this small tribe, which lives near the lake and mainly grazes cattle and horses.
They originally wanted to swallow up the Qinghu tribe directly, but they didn't expect that the people from the Qinghu tribe would contact them and tell them: There is a big tribe in the far east.
Their territory is filled with gold and cattle and sheep.
The gold and iron weapons are extremely sharp, and the population is even greater!
As soon as the news came out, everyone in Jinding County was excited.
Especially the "lords" of the coastal, plain, forest, mountain and grassland states are even more concerned about this matter.
In the past meetings of most of the Jinding states, there were inevitably disagreements and quarrels, but this time on the matter of sending troops eastward, several state leaders were surprisingly consistent: attack eastward and expand the territory of most of Jinding!
Let the sunlight above Jin Ding’s head shine in more places and illuminate more people’s foreheads!
So there was such an Eastern Expedition team of nearly ten thousand people appearing on the Changsheng Prairie!
They didn't know how far they had walked. They only knew that they started from the grassland of Jinding, traveled northeast for more than ten days to the Qinghu Department, and then walked eastward from the Qinghu Department to the Changsheng Grassland, which took fifteen or sixteen days to reach.
According to the "guide" they captured from the Qinghu tribe, they would reach the mysterious Eastern tribe in ten days!
The Jinding Cavalry, which had been walking for more than forty days, wanted to rest on the Changsheng Grassland.
First, they had traveled a long distance and were too tired.
Secondly, they have to wait for the infantry behind them.
According to people from the Qinghu tribe, thousands of their people attacked Da Jiang, but they were all defeated in the end.
Of course, according to the Qinghu Department, Da Jiang also paid a heavy price.
The Qinghu tribe suffered a loss due to lack of preparation, otherwise it would definitely not have been the result of more than 6,000 people killing four or five thousand of them.
Naturally, people with golden tops don’t believe this statement.
How could a tribe that they boasted of being so powerful in the North suffer so badly?
At best, it’s only half of it.
It's not uncommon for defeated people to find excuses.
The Jinding Cavalry stationed on the spot were not idle either.
Unexpectedly, they sent a cavalry team of 200 people to continue to go forward to inquire about information to facilitate the subsequent march.
Wonderful things in the world!
This cavalry team of 200 people started walking eastward on the second day and within less than a day, they encountered Da Jiang Qiucao and his fifty rangers!
