"Late at night, Li Wu led five thousand Xia troops to quietly surround a tribe of the Naiman. At this time, the food and grass of the Xia army were almost cut off. If he could not get food and grass supplies, Li Wu and the five thousand Xia troops would probably have to starve to death on this grassland. This tribe of the Naiman was like a gift from God to Li Wu. As long as Li Wu could capture this tribe, the Xia army, who was sleeping in the open, could have a good meal.

According to the original plan, Li Wu and Gao Rui each led two thousand men to attack the tribe from two different directions in the dark. The remaining one thousand men were responsible for surrounding them to prevent anyone from escaping. For these Xia soldiers, this was simply a one-sided war. The entire tribe had no resistance in front of the Xia army. Accompanied by the rumbling horse hooves, the Xia army rushed into the nomadic tribe. Soon, all kinds of screams and the helpless cry of women in the tribe.

The only old, weak, sick and disabled people in the tribe began to resist the Xia army, but in the end, all this was futile. Li Wu controlled the entire tribe in just half an hour. This was Li Wu's first battle. Blood and killing made Li Wu feel excited, but when the blood was left with only the overturning vomiting. During the numb killing, Li Wu didn't feel anything, but after the battle ended, he looked at the bloody battlefield and vomited.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Gao Rui came to Li Wu and asked.

Li Wu said to Gao Rui: "It's okay, I feel like vomiting."

Gao Rui smiled and said, "It's okay Your Highness, it's good to get used to it. If you experience it a few more times, it's okay."

Li Wu felt that he had spit out all the sour water in his stomach. Although Li Wu felt uncomfortable, he had not forgotten to ask Gao Rui: "How is the casualties in our army?"

Gao Rui said proudly: "Your Highness, this kind of battle has not caused any casualties to our army; except for a few unlucky guys who fell and injured, our army did not suffer any casualties."

"That's good. Once our army goes deeper, it will be detrimental to our army." Li Wu said, covering his stomach.

"Your Highness, we have captured many women in this battle. How do these women deal with them?" Gao Rui asked Li Wu.

Li Wu waved his hand and said, "You can do it! Just choose some better-looking ones, don't kill them. Then you can give Ye Hu, the Geluo people, a gift."

"Yes, I understand; it's getting late, Your Highness should take a break soon!" Gao Rui said to Li Wu, "I will leave."

All night that night, the entire tribe was filled with women's howlings. In addition to these women, Xia Jun also seized a lot of cattle, sheep and horses. When the Xia Jun left, the entire tribe had been looted by Li Wu, leaving only corpses on the ground and tents that were not completely burned. Then, these corpses would become food for animals such as wild wolves, vultures, etc., and these people born on the grassland would eventually return to the embrace of the grassland.

The next day when the sun was rising, Li Wucai led the 5,000 cavalry under his command to drive cattle, sheep, horses and women away from the base; Li Wu wanted to take these things south to find the Geluo people, and there were more than 500 miles from Zhaisangbo to the northernmost territory of the Geluo people. For the Xia cavalry, it can be reached in two or three days, but now Li Wu is driving a large number of cattle, sheep, and it will take ten days or half a month to get there, but the fighter's opportunity is fleeting, and for Li Wu, the most precious thing now is time.

After walking for a day, the army chose the right place to set up camp, Li Wu sent someone to ask Gao Rui and said, "We are marching too slowly. When will we find the Geluo people according to this way of walking?"

"Your Highness, the closest tribe of the Geluo people is 500 miles away. At our current speed, it will take at least ten days." Gao Rui said to Li Wu.

"Ten days are too long," Li Wu said; "Let's do it! I will lead 500 cavalry to find the people of Geluo. You will lead the army to find a hidden place to station in the southern edge of Zhaisangbo. If I can't come back in ten days, you will throw away everything and lead the army back to the Kingdom of Daxia."

Gao Rui immediately objected: "No, Your Highness, your safety is the most important thing, why don't you go there!"

"No need to argue, this matter is settled." Li Wu said firmly; "I am the prince of Daxia and the son of Emperor Shengtian Dahan of the Great Xia Kingdom. Only when I go in person can we show our sincerity, and only when Geluo people can send troops to help."

"Okay!" Gao Rui could only agree with a gritty slap; "But your Highness leads too few cavalry. After all, your safety is still the most important thing, and you must bring at least half of the troops there."

"Then add another five hundred." Li Wu smiled at Gao Rui and said, "You are not relaxed here either. If you are discovered by the Naiman, you will be in danger. So don't make any moves before I come back, don't stimulate the Naiman."

"Yes, the last one understands." Gao Rui immediately took over the military order.

The next day, Li Wu led a thousand cavalry and left the large army and headed south. It was not easy to find the Geluo people. It was too difficult to find someone on this vast grassland Gobi, let alone a tribe. Although Li Wu had a map in his hand, he knew how big the error of the map was, and there was not even a landmark building around him. Li Wu had no way to determine the coordinates. In this way, Li Wu got lost and broke into the desert again.

However, this time Li Wu was well prepared. Before entering the desert, Li Wu prepared a lot of water. Anyway, there were horses and camels, so he was not afraid to get more of these things. Three days later, Li Wu led a thousand cavalry and finally walked out of this vast sea of ​​sand. How long did it take to be a lake? At the intersection between the desert and the lake, there was a wetland. The scenery of the grassland appeared in front of Li Wu again. Looking into the distance, Li Wu could still see the flock of sheep eating grass freely on the grassland.

"It seems that we have found the right place this time. The Geluo people should be not far ahead." Li Wu said to the captain beside him.

"Your Highness, do you want to lead the cavalry forward to investigate?" the captain asked Li Wu.

Li Wu smiled and said, "No need, let's go there."

Under the leadership of Li Wu, more than a thousand cavalry of the Xia army swooped down from the desert and came to the tribe by the lake. At this time, the herdsmen of the tribe had long discovered the Xia cavalry. "Woo, woo, woo, woo..." The sound of the trumpet spread throughout the grassland. When the trumpet warned, the men of the entire tribe rode war horses, holding bows and sabers, gathered outside the tribe. All the women, children and flocks were driven back to the camp. If the enemy on the opposite side dared to attack, the men in these tribes would use their flesh and blood to defend their homes.

"Your Highness, you see that they have already set up their own formation. It seems that they want to fight to the death with us!" The captain said to Li Wu in a sarcastic tone. "Just because they also see the iron hooves that block our Xia army, they are really overestimating their abilities."
