A sickly fellow ridiculed by the entire army? I'll be the most beautiful woman in the barracks!

In the Black Serpent tribe, a banquet is being held in the chieftain's tent.

The leader of the Xuan Tie tribe looked at the leader of the Black Snake tribe sitting opposite him with shining eyes.

"Black Serpent Leader, this time our two tribes are joining forces and we will surely be able to wipe out the entire Xia army of tens of thousands of people from yesterday."

"My men saw that the wagons transporting grain in their procession stretched for miles, overflowing with fat, and the key point is that they only had 1,500 guards!"

The chief of the Xuan Tie tribe picked up the mare's milk wine on the table, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. He then reached out and wiped the wine off his beard, and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, now that our two tribes have joined forces, our forces are twice as strong as theirs, three thousand against one thousand, and we are cavalry, we will surely be able to take them down in one fell swoop."

"Then, we'll split the spoils fifty-fifty, and the strength of both our tribes will instantly increase dramatically!"

"Then we can move out of this small plain at Black Mountain Pass. To be honest, I'm already tired of staying in such a small place!"

The leader of the Black Serpent tribe slammed down his wine bowl and nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, how could our two tribes possibly develop on such a small plain! But now, for some reason, those Han people have suddenly migrated into this area. Do you know what happened?"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Xuan Tie tribe shook his head.

"I don't know why, but my herdsmen reported that the group headed towards the ruined Black Mountain Pass."

The leader of the Xuan Tie tribe said with a cold smile.

"Perhaps they intend to use tens of thousands of men to occupy that dilapidated Black Mountain Pass, hahaha..."

Upon hearing this, the Black Serpent Tribe leader was somewhat uneasy, but no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't figure out why the other party would enter the territory of Youyun Beiting, and with so many people.

In the end, they could only nod and reluctantly agree to the far-fetched reason given by the leader of the Xuan Tie tribe. In any case, after this meal, they would set off to intercept the other party.

Once the other party is captured and tortured, they will naturally find out why they migrated north to this Youyun Beiting region.

"Alright, in that case, let's set off after we finish this drink and intercept them as soon as possible to prevent any accidents, since the royal army has only been gone for three days."

The Xuan Tie tribe chief's eyes shone with an alarming light. "Our tribe has 1,500 cavalrymen. They set off with me this morning and are currently stationed outside your tribe, ready to be deployed at any time!"

The Black Serpent tribe chief smiled. "Excellent! I will immediately order the gathering of the tribe's warriors!"

Having said that, he turned to the messenger waiting nearby and ordered, "Pass down the order: immediately assemble the tribal warriors and be ready to act at any time!"

Before the messenger could respond, a Tartar suddenly tumbled and crawled into the tent.

The Tartar stared wide-eyed, bloodshot-filled, his face filled with terror, as he looked at the Black Serpent tribe leader to the side.

"Chief, something terrible has happened! Thousands of fully armed troops are heading towards our tribe, and they're less than two miles away!"

The leader of the Black Serpent tribe broke out in a cold sweat and spoke rapidly, his voice trembling.

"How is this possible! Where did these thousands of troops come from? And how is it that you only noticed when we were only two miles apart!"

The Tartar's pupils trembled slightly, and an expression of disbelief remained on his face.

"The enemy has sharpshooters. Before our sentries could even give the signal, a golden light flashed and they were shot dead by the enemy."

He then shook his head. "The enemy is coming from the direction of Black Mountain Pass. They have two thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry, and they all look like the Great Xia army."

As soon as the words were spoken, the two leaders of the Black Serpent Tribe and the Black Iron Tribe exchanged a glance.

It's that team from Great Xia!

They hadn't even gone to each other when the other party came to them on their own.

The Black Serpent Tribe leader looked at the Black Iron Tribe leader with a stern face.

"Didn't they say the enemy only had 1,500 soldiers? How come it's 4,000 now?"

The leader of the Xuan Tie tribe frowned and shook his head, looking puzzled, but soon his expression hardened.

"Yesterday there were indeed only 1,500 men. I don't know why there was a change, but even if there were a few thousand more, what difference would it make? You know the fighting strength of the Great Xia army!"

"No need to worry. Since they've delivered themselves to our doorstep, let's start the war directly and show the Great Xia army what we're capable of."

The Black Serpent Tribe chief nodded with a stern face, then glared angrily at the messenger who had not yet gone to summon the army.

"Hurry up and gather the troops!"

The messenger immediately shrank back, lowered his head, and hurried out of the tent.

Two miles away from the Black Serpent Tribe, Zhao Daxuan rode a tall horse at the head of the procession, followed by fully armed Xuanjia cavalry and sword-and-shield soldiers.

Zhao Daxuan looked at the two cavalry units in the tribe ahead, whose clothing was completely different. It was clear that the two units came from different tribes.

A glint flashed in his eyes. "It must be warriors from two tribes coming together. What a coincidence."

A slight smile played on his lips. "That's convenient. Let's get it all sorted out today!"

Zhao Daxuan turned his head and ordered, "Pass down the order that the situation has changed. The Tartar tribe ahead has at least three thousand cavalry. Tell everyone to be prepared."

Li Changming, who was closely following Zhao Daxuan, nodded solemnly and then ordered his men to be on high alert.

Despite being detected by the enemy beforehand, Zhao Daxuan was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he led his troops forward slowly, unwilling to waste his energy on a long march.

Before long, before Zhao Daxuan's troops even reached the front of the Tartar tribe, two distinct groups of troops rushed out from the tribe ahead and attacked from both sides.

The swordsmen and shieldmen in the ranks automatically moved to the front row, raised their heavy shields, and instantly formed two steel walls.

Meanwhile, the Xuanjia cavalry retreated several hundred meters, preparing to launch a barrage of attacks at any moment.

The attack by 1,500 Tartars on each side was vastly different from the attack by the Tartar army of several thousand men not long ago.

Li Erlong stood at the rear of the column, watching his swordsmen and shieldmen steadily withstand the charge of the Tartar cavalry, a mocking smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"With a mere three thousand men, you think you can shake my swordsmen? That's wishful thinking."

Then a thunderous roar sounded behind Li Erlong, and the Xuanjia Cavalry launched their attack.

Li Erlong instantly waved his command flag, and the swordsmen and shieldmen at the forefront quickly dispersed, creating passages.

The moment the passage was formed, the Xuanjia cavalry seamlessly connected and passed directly through it.

The Xuanjia cavalry, like sharp daggers, plunged into the Tatar cavalry, whose strength had been exhausted and whose old strength had not yet been replenished.

The two Tatar cavalry forces, one in the east and one in the west, were completely overwhelmed by the Xuanjia Cavalry and the sword-and-shield infantry.

The Xuanjia cavalry charged back and forth among the Tatar cavalry, while the swordsmen and shieldmen surrounded and killed the remaining cavalry.

Shouts of battle echoed outside the Black Serpent Tribe. The leaders of the Black Serpent Tribe and the Xuan Tie Tribe sat on their horses, watching the battlefield ahead, a chill running down their spines.

"Where did these divine soldiers come from! This is heaven's will to destroy my Black Serpent tribe!"

The leader of the Black Serpent tribe stared blankly at the scene before him, muttering unconsciously to himself.
