Mountain barbarians

During the Qing Dynasty, the people called the place beyond Changjiang as Yue. Lingnan was Nan Yue and Guangxi was Luo Yue. After the Qing dynasty, the term Luo Yue was used less and was replaced with Nan Man. Gaia followed history and placed these barbarians in the mountains and forest areas.

The mountains where Lingnan and Guangxi met had large numbers of barbarians. They were split into tribes and spread out all over the mountains. Every one of them was strong, muscular, and kept on reproducing. This and the fact that the environment was bad, food was a shortage and people were often starving to death, to survive they often attacked villages to obtain grain and food.

(Chapter 80)

Against these barbarians, Ouyang Shuo decided to take a soft approach. Although barbarians weren't good at production, but they were exceptional soldiers and were suitable to be heavy armored infantry. If he could persuade them to live in Shanhai town, it would have a huge benefit to them.

The barbarians who lived close to Lianzhou basin were descendants from Luo Yue. That year, the Qin emperor easily invaded the land, only facing difficulty when trying to invade Luo Yue. 300,000 troops against 10,000 Luo Yue troops, and he couldn't win.

In his past life, one of Lianzhou's 3 tyrants, Ba Dao, made use of the heavy armored infantry made up by barbarians to attack cities and sweep across the Lianzhou basin.

***Army:***

the Mountain Barbarians have 100,000 soldiers

*Amongst the military formation, there were leather drums with numerous sides dragged by olden carts. Each side was as large as a mill disc and exquisitely crafted. To play these drums required a certain amount of strength.*

*The ten ten thousand men groups had all spread out, spanning a huge distance. The soldiers followed the drum beats and moved in unison. Their steps shook the ground, causing the mountains to tremble and the rivers to stop flowing.*

*The mountain barbarian army was a full infantry army, and about seventy percent of them wielded axes as their weapon. After all, knives and axes were Chiyou’s most proficient weapons.*

*Under Chiyou’s influence, the weapons that the mountain barbarians used the most were also these two.*

*Knives were the large knives, while the axes were the giant axes.*

*Be it the war knife or the war axe, they were both heavy and tough, filled with the style of the barbarians.*

*Apart from the knife-axe soldiers, there was a small number of archers and spear throwers amongst them. All of them wore iron armor.*

*Leather armor to the mountain barbarian soldiers was nothing.*

*Even the twenty kilogram iron armor on their bodies was like nothing.*

*The iron armor design was exceedingly savage, patterned with the barbarian giant beast. The black iron armor emitted a cold shine under the red glow.*

*As iron ore was rare, and they did not have enough artisans and craftsmen, their armor did not cover everything. It just protected the joints, head, and chest; these important areas. Their other areas were exposed, and their bulging muscles showed pure strength and beauty.*

*This was an army that came from the barbarian times. Their bodies reflected the savage and ruthless ways of the barbarians.*

*Simple, direct.*

*Along with the war drums, the warriors clanked their weapons, as they sung their war song.*

(Chapter 496)

*The mountain barbarian army had very few soldier types, and they were also chaotically grouped up. Forming into a formation, it was ten thousand men by ten thousand. Their groupings lacked strategy and tactics.*

*When the real war started, those generals would just lead the charge, and they could not control their troops.*

*A swarm of bees, that was the only description for the mountain barbarians.*

*In history, the barbarians used their strength. They destroyed and even made the agricultural societies surrender. They relied on pure violence and an unprecedented morale.*

*The current mountain barbarian army was equipped with both.*
