The red soil plain is located to the west of the southern barbarian land. It is a barren and barren land. The land is dark red and there is no trace of grass or human traces.

Now, on this piece of red soil, there are large-scale troops arrayed and stationed.

It was dark, like dark clouds covering it, and the dark red and darkness were clearly distinguishable.

The red soil plain is so large that it is difficult to see the edge at a glance. Because of its existence, the Southern Barbarians have become an abandoned place among the barbarian people.

Compared to the endless fertile pastures of the Northern Barbarians, this place is nothing. The various tribes of the Northern Barbarians simply look down on this area of ​​the Southern Barbarians.

The land of red earth that usually no one cares about has also become the best battlefield!

The Kled tribe's army gathered here and formed a queue. There were nearly 100,000 troops. The occasional neighing of the war horses also created a strong sense of oppression.

At the forefront of the team is the black-robed king Agula.

I received a response to the challenge within two days of issuing the letter of challenge. I have been paying attention to the enemy's movements and are here to prepare for it...

Father and son fight side by side.

Guan Zhongshan looked into the distance. His son, Emperor Guan Ning of Daning, was also in front of the Zhenbei Army!

Fifty thousand Zhenbei troops also arrived.

Black armor and dark horses, this was a steel division. They just waited quietly, even the horses rarely neighed.

This is the result of long-term rigorous training, not only for the soldiers, but also for the horses.

The Zhenbei Army often had to conduct long-distance raids and ambushes. If the war horses neighed, their position would be easily exposed.

Fifty thousand cavalry, but they didn't make a sound, that's what the elite are like.

Guan Ning is wearing a battle armor. It is not gorgeous, and is even a bit mottled. This battle armor has been with him for a long time and he always wears it in every battle. In his right hand, he is also holding a mace!

The ferocious and terrifying spikes shone with cold light, this time he will fight in person!

Before this, Bai Shaoyuan and other generals tried to dissuade him. How could the emperor always rush to the front? What should I do if there is an accident?

In such a large-scale war, no one can guarantee their own safety. Even those with extremely strong combat power will have accidents and may face attacks by hundreds of people at a certain moment.

Of course Guan Ning is not afraid.

He was never afraid of war.

This is indeed not what an emperor should do, but since he is unique, it doesn't matter.

Guan Ning was very happy. The trip to the Southern Barbarians was at the right time. This victory might solve the problem of the Northern Barbarians. Wu Liangmu probably didn't have the courage to fight hard. As long as he retreated, he could give Daning a chance to breathe.

There was another discovery that made Guan Ning overjoyed, and that was the Red Clay Plain. He had heard of this place before and passed by it, but he did not investigate it in detail.

This time I heard from my father Guan Zhongshan that the reason why the Southern Barbarians are barren is largely because of the red soil!

Not a blade of grass grows!

I don’t know what kind of harm this red soil brings, and no green plants can grow.

The barbarians relied on grasslands for survival, but not even a single blade of grass could grow on the red soil!

Guan Ning was very surprised. It must be the reason why it couldn't grow. After he came over, he took a closer look and found that the red soil was heavier and thicker than ordinary soil.

Then he was overjoyed.

He knew the reason. The iron content in the soil was very high, causing the soil to change color. Of course, such soil would not be able to grow plants, but it was not completely useless.

Guan Ning's detailed investigation in the past few days found that the iron content of this red soil is quite high, and iron can be smelted from it!

Iron is indispensable in production and life. Weapons and equipment, including shovels and hoes, are inseparable from iron.

Daning certainly has a lot of iron resources, but due to productivity constraints, it is very difficult to exploit them.

There are many processes involved in making iron from red soil, but it is ready-made and there is quite a lot of red soil, which makes Guan Ning very happy.

Next, Daning and the Klei tribe will have another large-scale transaction, and that is these red soils.

Only by smelting iron and steel can the country develop and become strong!

There are many reasons why this war has persisted until now. Daning's advanced weapons are one of the reasons that cannot be ignored.

The cannon powder in the early stage, even the weapons used in daily life, were superior to those of the enemy...

If Daning wants to continue to develop, the army must have more powerful weapons and equipment. Guan Ning is very clear about the future development path!

He shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts. The premise of all this was to win the war first.

The threat from the Northern Yi is always there, especially the unified Northern Yi. If they cannot stop it from going south, Daning will soon collapse!

This battle must be won!

Winning the victory head-on is the biggest deterrent to them.

Guan Ning's expression turned serious.

The Beiyi army has arrived, and he has only one feeling, that is, there are too many!

Too many!

It was so densely packed with people that it was hard to see their heads, and it was even harder to know how many people there were.

All barbarian adults are warriors.

In this regard, the Central Plains countries are very different.

This is due to the serious internal strife and frequent civil wars in Beiyi. Guan Ning once heard Duoyan talk about her father.

Wu Liangbao had a reputation among the barbarians for being ferocious and fond of killing. He had already had the strength to deal with the Asote tribe, but he had always let it go.

He deliberately pitted the two tribes against each other, not because of bloodlust, but for the grassland!

The continuous expansion of population has increased the burden on the grassland, causing the grassland to begin to degrade...
