Therefore, after reaching a consensus, last year, Tie Li King, one of the four closest kings to Zhou Country, led the Tie Li Tribe and its vassals to launch a sweeping invasion and attack on Zhou Country.
The Tie Li Tribe's 100,000 elite forces joined with the 300,000 barbarian soldiers of its vassals, forming the first wave of invasion into Zhou Country.
It was a pity, though.
The Tie Li Tribe's invasion was only smooth at the beginning, successfully breaking through more than 30 Zhou People's cities and plundering large amounts of grain and slaves.
However, after the arrival of the Zhou People's main army, the cities taken by the Tie Li Tribe were soon taken back, and the led army was defeated and suffered heavy damage.
In the end, of the 400,000 troops that went out together, only 40,000 to 50,000 escaped after three consecutive defeats. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were almost annihilated.
