Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 126 Maya Plans to Use Tricks
While Owen was retreating to transform the puppet, two northern barbarian tribes were busy crossing the river.

The barbarians in the north are not good at water. In fact, they even take baths very few times in their lives. Therefore, they need to choose places with shallower rivers to wade in. At the same time, they have to move livestock and tents across the river. This is not an easy task. Especially in the water, even the northern barbarians could not do it with brute strength, so it took most of the day to cross the river.

The problem is that the entire buffalo collar has been dismantled long ago, and the barbarians from the north who came here did not get anything they wanted, not even an iron pot, and they were immediately angry. After all, they did not come all the way for Looking at the scenery, so he immediately surrounded a woman.

She is the daughter of the Buffalo Baron. She must have promised many benefits if she could persuade two tribes of barbarians from the north to go south. It's strange to have a good face.

"I can take you to Howard's territory, which is the richest place in the entire Northland, with a lot of grain and iron!" Mia, who looked like a savage with a yellow and thin face, shouted loudly, almost losing her composure. , the sound broke, which shows that she is on the verge of collapse.

In fact, she asked for it.

Back then, Baron Buffalo was able to establish a relationship with the northern barbarians because he sold metals strictly prohibited by the empire to the northern barbarians.

Even so, the two sides are not allies, or even friends, because these metals require a large number of high-quality furs from the northern barbarians, and the exchange rate is quite exaggerated, which can be regarded as a black heart.

After obtaining cheap furs, the Baron Buffalo can then sell them to the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce, and he can easily make a lot of profits.

The problem is that the northern barbarians are not good men, they are full of barbarism and violence, and they will never change if they can grab it, so they will definitely be dissatisfied, because if you have it but don't give it, you are an enemy to the northern barbarians.

But the existence of the North Boundary River is a different kind of city wall, and it is difficult for the barbarians of the Northland to fight hard, not to mention that the Buffalo Baron also hired some wandering barbarians of the Northland as thugs.

For the northern barbarians, the tribe is their own, and everything else can be killed, and there is no such thing as showing mercy. Therefore, those northern barbarians hired by the Buffalo Baron have no intention of showing mercy when facing compatriots crossing the river to grab things , so even if they were dissatisfied, the barbarian tribes in the Northland had to hold their noses and admit it, and even had to pretend to be friendly.

This created an illusion for Mia that the buffalo family has a tacit relationship with the barbarians in the Northland and they are reliable allies, so after learning that her father died in battle, she crossed the river in a territorial canoe to find the Northland without hesitation. The barbarian tribe tried to avenge their father with the help of the barbarians in the north.

Obviously, this idea is too naive. Mia didn't regret her naivety until she stepped into the barbarian tribe in the north, but it was too late, and everything that should have happened that day happened.

Mia, who has suffered so much and now has two children, no longer wants to take revenge, she just wants to get rid of all this, so she does not hesitate to lure the northern barbarians to the Hydera family, it is best to let them both lose, only In this way, she can both revenge and find a chance to escape.

Mia's purpose is not difficult to guess, but anyone with a little brain probably won't easily believe her words.

But for the northern barbarians, strength is everything, and they basically have no concept of conspiracy and tricks, because they don't need it.

It's not that the barbarians are strong enough to ignore the conspiracy, but because they usually meet the same kind, and there is basically no other way of communication between the barbarians except for shaking their fists.

Using conspiracy or tricks, even if you win, you will be ridiculed by everyone. This is harder for barbarians than death.

Even though he was ambushed several times by the imperial frontier army before, the barbarians didn't think there was any problem.

No matter when the enemy appears, whether from the front or the back, with a spear or a mace, if you lose, you lose, and there is no need to make excuses.

Therefore, after learning that the Hydera family was the richest lord nearby, the two northern barbarian tribes gathered all the adult men without hesitation, and headed towards Hydera's territory just like the horse thieves back then.

Although the northern barbarians are all infantry and don't even have decent weapons and armor, their overall strength is undoubtedly higher than the same number of horse thieves.

Every adult barbarian male is about two meters tall, with a thick frame and well-developed muscles. Although not as exaggerated as a dwarf, they are all at the level of a strong man among humans, except for their weapons.

The armor is the animal skin wrapped around the body, the weapons are hard wooden clubs and stone hammers, most of the metal weapons are bronze, and a few are iron, and only the bravest barbarian warriors can use them.

The equipment is poor, but hundreds of barbarian soldiers need at least three to five times the empire's frontier army to eliminate them, so there is no guarantee how heavy the casualties will be, otherwise the empire will be full to maintain such an elite army at the border.

Bella, who was wandering nearby, noticed the big move of the northern barbarians at the first time, and the northern barbarians also discovered them at the same time.

The northern barbarians are half hunting and half nomadic people, and their vigilance and observation skills are not weak. How could hundreds of nomadic cavalry not notice, just the vibration from the horseshoes can arouse their vigilance.

Bella, who knew Owen's plan, didn't intend to go to war in advance after being discovered, but took the nomadic cavalry away, causing the northern barbarians who were still vigilant to relax quickly, because these northern barbarians mistakenly thought that Bella La was a nomadic tribe who happened to be grazing nearby. After all, the distance between the two sides was too far, and they could only see cavalry. As for the equipment, they couldn't see clearly. Otherwise, no matter how stupid the northern barbarians were, they would find something wrong.

Soon the territory knew the news of the Northland barbarians' attack, but Maya and Howard had a headache because Owen was in retreat.

Recently, Howard, who was in high spirits and rejuvenated in his second spring, was silent. Without the order of the lord, he could do nothing. Even if he mobilized his troops to win the battle, the end would not be much better.

Maya is able to mobilize troops, and Owen gave her permission, as long as the upper limit is not exceeded, the troops can be mobilized at will.

The problem is that this battle is not so easy to fight, because Owen wants to subdue these two northern barbarian tribes, not eliminate them.

This alone cuts off the conventional way of fighting.

There is no way, the barbarians in the north are easy to fight, and they often fight to the death without retreating. Otherwise, even if the local area is ambushed by the imperial frontier army, the casualties will not be so heavy, so it is too difficult to surrender.
In the end, in order to ensure the survival of the barbarians in the North as much as possible, and at the same time reduce the loss of the territory, Maya planned to use tricks.
