212: Chapter 212 The enemy is about to arrive on the battlefield, please prepare!

"Your Majesty the Paramount Leader."

Jin Xishan placed her right hand over her heart and bowed to Zhao Fusu, saying with a face full of reverence, "Your wisdom is higher than the white clouds over the grassland!"

"That our Tuan Tribe can submit to you is a blessing from the eternal blue sky."

"You will surely lead our Tuan Tribe toward greatness."

The female translator also placed her right hand over her heart and bowed, translating with the same expression of reverence.

Feeling their admiration, Zhao Fusu knew that he now bore the responsibility of not letting their trust down.

Accompanied by a thousand cavalrymen, Jin Xishan returned to the Tuan Tribe.

The scouts on guard at the outskirts of the Tuan Tribe discovered a large force of cavalry closing in on them and immediately whipped their horses to return to the Tuan Tribe's settlement to report.

"You're saying over a thousand Great Qin cavalrymen are approaching us?"

Jin Tu didn't know if Jin Xishan had become the woman of His Majesty the Premier of Great Qin as planned, so he quickly gathered the archers of the Jintu Tribe to prepare for battle.

"Whoa!"

The thousand cavalrymen stopped at a safe distance from the Jintu Tribe.

The power of cavalry can often only reach its peak once the warhorses have built up speed.

Excellent riders can work in perfect harmony with their horses, using proper riding techniques—such as correct posture, rein control, and leg commands—to help the warhorses utilize their speed more efficiently.

Experienced riders will adjust their strategies during a charge based on the horse's condition and the terrain, allowing the horse to reach high speeds within a relatively short distance.

Generally speaking, a skilled rider can achieve good acceleration with a warhorse within a distance of 300 to 500 meters.

Thousand-Rider Commander Tian Ju stopped five hundred meters away from the Tuan Tribe.

He ordered the troops to station themselves on the spot.

He then took his guard unit and accompanied Jin Xishan toward the Tuan Tribe.

Seeing that the Great Qin cavalry had stopped at a safe distance, Jin Tu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't fear these thousand cavalrymen, killing a thousand enemies costs eight hundred of one's own; engaging them would cause his tribe heavy losses.

When Jin Tu saw a group of people riding toward him, and the leader was none other than his daughter Jin Xishan, he was completely at ease.

These thousand cavalrymen were brought by his daughter.

Clearly, his daughter had become the woman of His Majesty the Premier of the Great Qin Empire.

"Did it work?"

When Jin Tu met with Jin Xishan, he spoke up to ask her.

"You could say it worked!"

Jin Xishan said, her pretty face blushing slightly.

Jin Tu looked at Jin Xishan and saw nothing unusual about her physical state, and his brow furrowed slightly.

If his daughter hadn't shared a bed with His Majesty the Premier of the Great Qin Empire, it wasn't a guarantee.

Jin Tu glanced at Tian Ju and his guard unit following behind Jin Xishan, then cast his gaze toward the thousand cavalrymen half a mile away, questioning Jin Xishan.

"Are these thousand cavalrymen sent by the Premier of Great Qin to protect your safety?"

"Yes."

Jin Xishan nodded.

A look of joy couldn't help but appear on Jin Tu's face.

That the Premier of Great Qin would send so many cavalrymen to protect his daughter on her return to the Tuan Tribe showed that she held a significant status in the Premier's heart.

Their Tuan Tribe finally had a backer.

Jin Tu's face was full of delight.

"Father,"

Jin Xishan said, "Besides being responsible for protecting my safety, Captain Tian and his men are also here to help the Qinglan Tribe repel the invasion of the Right Great Danghu."

"What did you say!"

After hearing his daughter Jin Xishan say this, Jin Tu's old face looked at her in disbelief.

Was he hearing things? His daughter actually said these thousand cavalrymen were here to help the Qinglan Tribe repel the invasion of the Right Great Danghu!

"Xishan!"

Jin Tu said to Jin Xishan with a heavy expression, "Do you have any idea how many troops the Right Great Danghu has raised this time!"

"To take down the Qinglan Tribe, the Right Great Danghu borrowed troops from the White Sheep King."

"The White Sheep King doesn't want the pastures; he wants seventy percent of the spoils of war, and the Right Great Danghu agreed."

"The twenty thousand cavalrymen gathered by the Right Great Danghu and the White Sheep King are doing this to get even more spoils!"

"They don't just want to destroy the Qinglan Tribe."

Jin Tu's expression was as gloomy as water.

"The Right Great Danghu and the White Sheep King intend to wipe out our Tuan Tribe, the Qinglan Tribe, the Liefeng Tribe, the Chiyanju Tribe, the Shuangzong Tribe, and the Lingyu Tribe in one fell swoop."

The reason Jin Tu was so desperate to cling to Zhao Fusu's leg was that the pressure from the Right Great Danghu was too great.

Zhao Fusu could give him the Yinshan Grassland, and their tribe could even trade for grain.

The benefits were too good!

In contrast, the Royal Court wanted to destroy him, enslave his people, and take their women as spoils of war.

As long as he wasn't a fool, he knew which side to stand on.

"Currently, our Tuan Tribe has formed an alliance with the Qinglan Tribe, Liefeng Tribe, Chiyanju Tribe, Shuangzong Tribe, and Lingyu Tribe, but our total cavalry only numbers twelve thousand."

Jin Tu said with a deeply frustrated expression, "The gap in strength between us and the Right Great Danghu and White Sheep King is too large."

"The Premier of Great Qin only sent a thousand cavalrymen; it's far too few!"

Jin Tu said, "The Premier must send at least ten thousand cavalrymen for us to defeat the Right Great Danghu and the White Sheep King!"

"Father,"

Jin Xishan said, "Captain Tian's thousand cavalrymen can take on the twenty thousand cavalrymen of the Right Great Danghu and the White Sheep King!"

"Ah?"

Jin Tu's mouth hung open.

He looked Jin Xishan up and down and said, "Are you not awake yet? What kind of dream are you having!"

"Even if the Great Qin army is equipped with the powerful Qin Crossbow, they cannot possibly withstand a charge of twenty thousand cavalry with only a thousand cavalrymen!"

What did twenty thousand cavalry even look like!

Cavalry would cover the mountains and fields; it was a scene of them whistling toward you that stretched as far as the eye could see.

When twenty thousand cavalry charged at once, the entire ground would shake violently, just like an earthquake!

He wanted to know how a thousand cavalrymen were supposed to resist the attack of twenty thousand!

"This..."

Jin Xishan had originally been full of confidence in the Great Qin cavalry equipped with revolvers, but after hearing her father's questioning, she suddenly felt her father made a lot of sense!

Even with a divine weapon like the revolver, relying on only a thousand cavalry to hold out against twenty thousand was still too much of a stretch.

Her gaze couldn't help but turn toward Tian Ju.

To facilitate communication, Zhao Fusu had assigned a translator to Tian Ju.

After Tian Ju asked the translator what Jin Tu and Jin Xishan were saying, the translator briefly explained the matter they were discussing.

"Tell him that our thousand cavalrymen have no fear whatsoever of the allied forces of the Right Great Danghu and the White Sheep King!"

Tian Ju said to the translator.
