Chapter 27 One is better than a hundred
Due to the addition of 94 adult men, the food problem became prominent again, and Xiao Yiran had to expand the rice cultivation area again. For the first time, public toilets were set up, both for hygiene and for fertilizer for rice paddies. Just relying on the dung of ten wild boars is far from enough. In this era, it is difficult to change the habit of defecating at will for a while, so Xiao Yiran called Lin and An over.
"It is necessary to let the tribesmen develop the habit of defecating in the toilet, and arrange a special person to be responsible for moving the urine and urine into the rice field and spreading it evenly in the field, just like sprinkling wild boar feces in the past."
"Sister, should those who do not comply with the rules and still defecate and defecate at will?"
"Yes, I found that one breakfast is reduced at a time, breakfast and dinner are reduced twice, and Ann looks at it and makes appropriate arrangements."
"Lin, the manure in the sports field should be buried with soil in time, and it is not allowed to be sprinkled on the ground."
Xiao Yiran couldn't explain the matter of infectious diseases to them, but fortunately, they always only carried out Xiao Yiran's words and didn't ask anything else.
"Lin, the fur of the prey that will be hunted in the future will be dried and preserved, not only for the bowstring, but also for many other purposes. This matter is up to Ann to arrange for manpower to do it. ”
"Also, those slaves were only allowed to work in the fields under the watchful eye of our men, and were not allowed to go out hunting to prevent them from escaping. Lin, you can send people to the Eagle, Snake, and Tiger tribes at the bottom of the mountain at any time to observe the movements, and report to me as soon as they show signs of attacking us again. ”
For more than ten days in a row, the people who went down the mountain to observe the three tribes reported that they were all about the same. There was no movement from the Eagle and Snake Clans, only the Tiger Clan was a little ready to move. This is not difficult to understand, there was just a war between the two eagle and snake clans, and the last time they attacked the dragon clan, they each lost thirty adult men, and their vitality was already seriously damaged, and they were afraid that they would no longer be able to make trouble. The Tiger Clan has always been relatively powerful, although thirty-four people were captured by the Dragon Clan last time, and they have not yet caused any damage to the Tiger Clan, so naturally they will not give up.
"Lin, from the two eagle and snake clans captured last time, choose those who are loyal and reliable, who have joined the dragon clan, take them to the gods and swear an oath, put them back to find their women, and find a way to bring the women back."
Xiao Yiran had already discovered that the dragon clan was now Yan zhòng's male and female ratio was out of balance, and women were not as many as three-thirds of men. A group with a large number of women and men will not be a stable group, and the number of adult women must be increased as much as possible. This can be regarded as a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, so that the eagle and snake clans can no longer afford to take care of him. The dragons can then devote their main energy to dealing with the powerful tigers.
"Lin, arrange for someone to guard those slaves who do not want to join the dragon clan, and hand them over to An to lead them to build new adobe houses outside the fence wall, near the foot of the mountain, first according to the scale of a hundred people, but set aside an area for another three hundred people to live in. Lin concentrated on training the team, and the crops in the field were temporarily handed over to the women to take care of. ”
The so-called precautionary measures, Xiao Yiran began to prepare for the next attack of the Tiger Clan.
"Lin, you are from the Tiger Clan, what other relatives are in the clan?"
"Mother, aunt, sister, brother and brother."
"Ann, in the new house under construction, build a separate one for Lin's family, and try to be as spacious as possible. Of course, Ann also has to build a place for her relatives to live, and the location and area are up to you. ”
"Sister, are we going to attack the Eagle Clan?"
"There is no need to attack, when the time comes, the Eagle Clan and the Snake Clan will take the initiative to come to us."
Xiao Yiran didn't explain why to the two, and the two didn't dare to ask any more, but just followed Xiao Yiran's order and led people to do things. Xiao Yiran knows one thing very well, the current Eagle Clan and the Snake Clan, the reason why they don't let the clansmen come to the Dragon Clan is because there is still the Tiger Clan to rely on, when the Dragon Clan defeats the Tiger Clan, the two clans have no support, they don't have to attack them, and they will naturally take the initiative to come to take refuge.
Finally, one afternoon, the people who had come down the mountain to observe the Tiger Clan came back and reported:
"The Tiger Clan has assembled a team of nearly one hundred and fifty people, and it looks like they will come to attack early tomorrow morning."
"Lin, are the traps ready?"
"Traps have been set up along the way."
"Okay, divide your people into three groups, one group of thirty people, facing the Tiger Clan's team head-on, and the other two groups of fifteen people each, hiding in the mountains and forests on both sides of the Tiger Clan's attack route, and after the frontal group fights with the Tiger Clan, the hidden two clans will attack the Tiger Clan from both sides. When the time comes, the horn will be a secret signal, and when the time comes, I will let Ann blow the horn. ”
Knowing that it was the first time that Lin had heard of such a fight, Xiao Yiran explained very carefully, and personally took Lin He'an to the foot of the mountain to choose the hiding place of the ambush team.
"Have breakfast before dawn tomorrow morning, and come here to hide before the Tiger Clan arrives."
At this point, Lin somewhat understood that similar methods had been used by them when hunting large beasts, but they had never been used in war. In Lin's memory, war meant that the two armies would face each other against each other, catch each other, and never engage in these tricks.
"Ann, go back and tell the people who cook to prepare more breakfast, at least prepare breakfast for fifty more people."
The Tiger Clan's party came to the foot of the mountain where the Dragon Clan was stationed at the rising sun. They set up a formation at the foot of the mountain, and after waiting for a long time, they did not see that the dragon soldiers standing halfway up the mountain had any intention of coming down, so they had to assemble their troops again and attack the mountain. The thirty soldiers led by Lin, with bows upside down in their hands and wooden quivers behind them, always kept a certain distance from the Tiger soldiers, just where the javelins thrown by the Tiger soldiers could not pierce. Lead them all the way to the trap. The dense trap instantly engulfed nearly twenty soldiers of the Tiger Clan. Without waiting for the other Tiger Clan soldiers to rescue the soldiers who fell into the trap, Lin had already ordered an arrow attack.
There was a dense cluster of arrows, and there were constant screams from the tiger clan team that shot them. This time, the Tiger Clan was more powerful, and Xiao Yiran did not ask his soldiers to capture each other alive.
When Lin's first round of arrows was fired, Ann's horn sounded with a whimper. Fifteen dragon clan soldiers who had already been ambushed in the dense forests on both sides suddenly appeared, and shot at the tiger clan team in a fierce round. After the people in ambush on both sides finished shooting, Lin's second round came immediately. In this way, the leader of the Tiger Clan soldiers, seeing that his team of one hundred and fifty people, when less than half of them were left, had long lost the confidence to continue to stand, and a terrible whistle sounded, and he turned his head and fled towards the way he came.
Ann's horn sounded again on the hillside.
When Lin heard the sound of the horn, he shouted: "Chase!" "Lead sixty soldiers and chase after the Tiger Clan.
It wasn't until the soldiers of the Tiger Clan gradually ran away that Xiao Yiran let An blow the horn of the troops. In this battle, the team of 150 people of the Tiger Clan was scattered. Fourteen were killed, thirty-three were captured, fifty-two were wounded and captured, and only fifty-one of the Tiger soldiers escaped. On the dragon side, among the sixty people, there was not a single casualty.
Hearing the cheers of their own soldiers on the battlefield, the women in the garrison also cheered and ran out to greet the patriarch and the warriors who had won the battle.
Looking at the cheering clansmen, Xiao Yiran was also very happy in his heart. At this stop, not only did the Tiger Clan have no power to fight back, but it once again established its position in the hearts of the clansmen.
When the cheering clansmen crawled to Xiao Yiran's feet, Xiao Yiran felt the majesty of the high above for the first time. With a calm gaze, sweeping over the dragon soldiers and the captured tiger soldiers one by one, Xiao Yiran not only wanted to stand up to them, but also observed whether there were any men in them who made his heart move.
