The Nine Li Tribe army was like a black storm sweeping across the earth, carrying the evil spirit and the sound of war, and rushed towards Xuanyuan Hill.
The ferocity of its troops and the speed of its actions really caught Xuanyuan, who was working on internal integration, by surprise.
Several small settlements on the front line that relied on the Youxiong Tribe were swallowed up by this violent force almost as soon as the beacon fire was ignited. They could not even organize a decent resistance and were reduced to scorched earth.
As if the news had wings, it quickly spread back to Xuanyuan Hill with blood and panic.
Within the capital, people's hearts are floating. Some old nobles were originally dissatisfied with Xuanyuan's reforms. At this moment, they are even whispering and undercurrents are surging.
However, Xuanyuan, who was sitting in the main hall, faced this sudden crisis. Although his face was solemn, his eyes were still as calm as a rock.
He knew that any panic at this moment would be fatal.
"Beat the drum and gather the generals!"
Xuanyuan's voice was not loud, but it carried unquestionable majesty and instantly suppressed all the noise in the palace.
After a while, Feng Hou, Li Mu, Chang Xian, Da Hong and other important civil and military officials gathered.
There were no unnecessary pleasantries or complaints, and everyone's eyes were focused on the increasingly sophisticated geographical map of eastern mountains and rivers Primordial World in the center.
"Chi You is coming fiercely, intending to fight quickly and messing with my mind."
Xuanyuan pointed at an open area on the map.
"Deer-Chasing Plains, the terrain is relatively flat, but there are hills and rivers behind it to rely on. The front view is wide, which is conducive to our army's formation, and it can also maximize the advantage of the Nine Li Tribe individuals to rush into the formation. Li Mu!"
"I'm here!"
Wearing black armor and with a resolute face, Li Mu took a step forward and sounded like a bell.
"I order you to lead the 80,000 main force of the front army and march to Zhuolu immediately, relying on the terrain to build a triple line of defense! We do not seek to annihilate the enemy, but only need to block it layer by layer to slow down its troops and consume their energy and food! Remember, Nine Li Tribe is brave and cannot be fought head-on. You should attack from a distance with crossbows and chariots to help defend and blunt its edge!"
"Take orders!"
Li Mu clasped his fists, with fighting spirit burning in his eyes, turned around and strode away, his armor clanking.
"Feng Hou!"
"I'm here!"
Feng Hou, with a pale face and wise eyes, bowed to answer.
"Logistics and food are the lifeblood of the army, and you have full control over them. Recruit various tribes to store food, organize civilians to escort it, and ensure that the supply on the front line is safe! At the same time, appease the newly attached tribes, strictly guard against internal changes, and recruit warriors from all parties. Come to Zhuolu to join us!"
"Chang Xian! You are responsible for contacting the various tribes in the east and south that have not yet expressed their positions clearly, and clarifying the interests. If Chi You wins, Human Race will definitely return to the old situation of tribal divisions and the law of the jungle. Only unity can coexist! Be sure to win their support, or at least stay neutral!"
The orders were clear and clear, spitting out from Xuanyuan's mouth, like precise gears, quickly mobilizing the entire power of the Youxiong Alliance.
The slight chaos originally caused by the raid was quickly replaced by efficient operations. Outside the capital, the horns of the army's departure continued, and smoke billowed; inside the capital, grain and supplies were quickly gathered, and messengers galloped in all directions.
While the military deployment was in full swing, Xuanyuan still did not give up the final peace efforts. He wrote the book in his own hand and spoke sincerely, not involving personal grudges, but only talking about the overall situation of Human Race.
In the letter, he analyzed the disadvantages of tribal disputes, explained the importance of uniting and gathering strength for Human Race to deal with all Primordial World tribes and seek long-term development, and solemnly promised that if Chi You is willing to stop fighting and discuss things together, he will treat him as a brother, and all Nine Li Tribe tribes will also enjoy the same status and honor.
A respected old man acted as a messenger and carried a letter to the Nine Li Tribe camp.
However, the outcome was already doomed. Chi You didn't even let the messenger come near, but with a palm from the air, he shattered the silk book containing Xuanyuan's hard work into powder.
"Hahaha! Xuanyuan kid, stop making noise! This world is created by fighting, not by talking! Let your soldiers and horses wait until Zhuolu washes their necks!"
Chi You's wild laughter was like thunder, echoing over the camp, completely closing the door to peace.
The last hope was shattered, and the war drum that decided the fate of Human Race was beating loudly in the sky above Deer-Chasing Plains!
At the beginning of the war, the Xuanyuan side really played a role with its carefully laid out defense lines and rigorous battle formations.
The army under the command of Li Mu has a solid foundation for advancing and retreating, just like a rock.
When the Nine Li Tribe warriors roared and charged, they were greeted by dense rain of arrows and Changge arrayed like a wall.
The tanks cruised on the flanks, constantly impacting and dividing Nine Li Tribe's formation.
Nine Li Tribe warriors were individually brave, but in front of the strict military formation, their first charge was stopped abruptly, leaving many corpses behind.
However, this advantage did not last long. The strength of the Nine Li Tribe's army was far beyond ordinary.
Especially Chi You and his eighty-one brothers, they seemed not to know what pain was. Ordinary swords and arrows could not hurt them at all. They often roared forward despite being hit by several arrows, and could overturn a chariot with their bare hands.
Chi You himself was like the god of war coming to the world. As he waved Tiger Soul Blade in his hand, the blood-red sword light tore through the air. Often, a single blow could clear the area several feet in front of him. The shield formation carefully constructed by the Xuanyuan army was like paper in front of him.
