Chapter 855: Ambush on all sides
The night is like water, with a hint of chill, the bright moon is like a hook, hanging obliquely in the sky, and the flat bronze high-speed is like a white practice spread on the ground, which is a little conspicuous.
Under the moonlight, a group of dark shadows walked along the road from the east, and the shadows were full of shadows.
The team moved forward silently, and no one spoke, not because everyone didn't want to speak, but because they didn't have much strength to speak.
The passion I had when I set out in the middle of the night last night had been almost worn out after a long walk.
At this time, many people are only able to continue walking with perseverance.
Some people put their hands on the bodies of the people in front of them, and as soon as they closed their eyes, they were already napping, the kind that went forward while napping.
"It's almost there! It's almost time to reach the Copper Mountain Residential Area! ”
Although the senior brother who walked in front was not lightly tired, he still had to hold up his spirit to cheer everyone up.
When one person has certain responsibilities on them, they will seem stronger than many people.
When the voice sounded, everyone's hearts couldn't help but be shocked, and they were much more energetic.
Finally going to the Copper Mountain settlement, finally meeting the guys who dare to attack their tribe?
After such a thought arises, many people feel more energetic, and even feel that it doesn't matter if they start fighting now, they can still beat these invading enemies to the north.
The team, which had seemed to be lifeless, suddenly became full of energy, as if they had been awakened from their sleep.
Senior Brother listened to the various voices coming from everyone, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Tell the people behind you not to speak, and don't let those enemies know that we're coming."
This is the plan that the two of them specially told him after the two of them rushed back, and after thinking about it carefully, the senior brother felt that it was very good, and the god son used this method to successfully catch the people of the half-peasant tribe last time, with this successful example, the senior brother naturally has confidence in this plan.
I and the others set off overnight, and I didn't dare to keep rushing all the way, didn't I just want to come over early, so that I could catch these guys?
It would be a great loss if the damned enemies were disturbed by the noise at this time and the news leaked out in advance.
At the suggestion of the senior brother, the people behind passed these words back one after another, and the people who heard these words immediately became quiet, without saying a word, and soon, the whole team became as quiet as before.
However, unlike the previous state of being tired and sleepy and being able to fall asleep at any time, the team at this time, although quiet, everyone was full of spirits.
This is the regulating effect of consciousness on the body.
A smile appeared on the elder brother's face, and he was very satisfied with the reaction of the tribesmen.
After the team walked silently for a while, the scenery on both sides became more and more familiar, and soon they saw the outline of the copper mountain residential area under the moonlight.
To the northeast of the Copper Mountain Settlement, about three miles away, there were some fires flashing, and you don't need to think about it to know that those fires are the places where those who dare to come and attack the Copper Mountain Settlement are located.
The elder brother asked him to stop, and went down to the field by the roadside from the bronze highway, so that everyone could not be conspicuous.
Although he knew that the distance was so far away, and it was still night, and it was almost midnight at this time, it was impossible for those enemies to find themselves waiting for someone, but Senior Brother still wanted to do this.
His personality and identity make him very cautious and cautious.
After explaining that everyone waited quietly here, don't speak, you can sit down and rest and eat some cold food, drink some cold white water, and don't light a fire, the senior brother took a few people and quietly walked towards the Tongshan residential area standing there.
The Copper Mountain Settlement was quiet at night, but when you got closer, you could see some figures walking around it, and it was the person in charge of patrolling.
The senior brother nodded again, satisfied that the people stationed in the Copper Mountain Residence were able to do this.
It was at this time that a small fire flickered above the wall, and then the fire began to grow larger.
Just when the senior brother and the other people who came with him thought that the people above were feeling cold and wanted to light some fire to keep warm, the light suddenly flew down from the wall.
"Who?!"
Before they could figure out what was going on, there were already shouts from above the wall.
At this sound, there was an immediate movement on the otherwise quiet wall, and many people got up one after another, holding stones, bows and arrows, javelins, and other things in their hands, and were about to throw them down.
"Don't panic, they wear rattan armor, wear rattan helmets, and seem to have rattan shields in their hands!"
Someone on the wall had sharp eyes, noticed that something was wrong, and quickly shouted.
Everyone was stunned, and then they all stopped.
"It's us! We're coming from the tribe! And the chief, the leader is here! ”
At this time, Senior Brother and the others probably realized what had just happened, and someone hurriedly spoke out to identify themselves.
Even if he was as calm as a senior brother, he couldn't help but reach out and wipe the sweat on his forehead at this time.
The people on the wall wiped their sweat even harder.
If they hadn't stopped just now, it would have been too big.
It's just that they can't be blamed for this matter, according to the previous calculations, it will take almost the fourth day for the people from the main tribe to come over.
And even if they came in advance, it must have been during the day, and now, it was only the second day after the two of them left, or at night, it was basically midnight, who would have thought that the leader would come over.
"Chief, why did you come here so quickly?"
After confirming their identities, the people from the Tongshan residential area hurriedly came down and opened the gate, and instructed the senior brother to follow the route circled by the lime so as not to fall into the trap.
After closing the door again and tying it up, the death of the dead who already knew the news was full of excitement and doubtful inquiries.
The rest of the people in the Tongshan residential area also pricked up their ears, and they were also very curious that the leader could come over so quickly.
"The two of them, Durian and Sparrow, did not rest yesterday, ran back to the tribe overnight, and passed the news back.
When Wu heard about it, he immediately asked people to pack up, and we set off overnight with our weapons, and until now, we finally rushed over. ”
The senior brother laughed out loud and said, with some lightness in his voice, for such behavior, there was no deliberate emphasis on the tone or anything like that to describe it, as if it was just a very ordinary thing.
But when such words were heard in the ears of the people who were stationed in the Tongshan settlement, many things immediately rose in the hearts of everyone, and everyone felt that their eye sockets were hot, and something rose from their chests and went all the way to their brains.
Ran back to the tribe overnight and set off from the tribe overnight......
What would have taken at least four days to complete was now completed in just two days.
They could feel how much weight was carried in these fluttering words.
This is their tribe!! This is the people of their tribe!!
When I heard that people from the same tribe were being bullied and attacked, I couldn't sleep, so I rushed over overnight!
Living in such a tribe and living with such a tribe is really touching and reassuring.
"Boss ......"
He shouted out the leader, and the rest of the words could not be spoken, and the rest of the people in the Tongshan residential area were also like this, and their chests were agitated.
"It's okay, we're all a tribe, that's how we should do it."
Senior Brother said with a smile.
"Hurry up and think about what to do, catch all these people as soon as possible, and we will plant crops in the spring."
So the elder brother and the people went up to the wall and began to talk in a whisper, and some of the commotion that had just arisen quickly subsided.
In the distance, beside the burning fire, the leader of the Blackstone tribe sat up from the ground and looked in the direction of the Copper Mountain settlement.
Just now, he vaguely seemed to hear something.
But when I looked at it now, the strange cave was still the same as usual, and I didn't see any difference.
The leader of the Blackstone tribe rubbed his eyes, turned his head and saw the many feathered arrows stacked there, polished by them, and the rough wooden planks, and the last doubt in his heart disappeared completely.
No matter what, the tribe in front of them will definitely be defeated by them, and everything in it will become theirs.
He lay down again, and with this in mind, he thought for a while, and after a while, he fell asleep again.
At this time, in the Tongshan residential area, the closed gate opened again, and a person carrying a hot meal quietly went out of the gate and walked towards the bronze highway.
This was the order given by Yan as soon as he learned that the senior brother and the others from the main tribe were coming.
The Tongshan residential area is surrounded by a wall, and cooking is not done in the open air, but in a special dining hall.
These facilities do not guarantee that people outside will not be able to see the light of the fires that are burning and cooking in their tribes.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you see it, after all, their existence, these enemies who come to attack the tribe, they themselves know about it, and they are not afraid of exposing anything.
"Drink some hot soup to warm up and relieve fatigue."
When they arrived, they took advantage of the moonlight to bring out bowls of broth and handed them to the people who had traveled from the main tribe for nearly a day and a night without much rest.
The people who came from the main tribe put the food that had already cooled in their hands into the steaming broth, put the bowl to their mouths and sucked the hot soup.
Of course, what is more comfortable and warm than their bodies is their hearts.
On the wall, the senior brother was also eating with bowls, and while eating, the senior brother was still talking something, mainly asking them more about the situation of those enemies, and at the same time, they were also talking about how to arrest these people as much as possible.
It is certain to learn from Shenzi's original method of dealing with the semi-peasant tribe, but it needs to make some changes in some places, after all, the situation here in the Tongshan residential area is still different from the situation in the semi-peasant tribe, and the terrain is much more open than that of the semi-peasant tribe.
Under the continuous influence of Han Cheng, a person from later generations, the people in the tribe had seen many things that they had never seen before, as well as some ways to deal with things, in such a situation, the senior brother and the people who had killed them naturally had far more ways to do things than before.
After discussing this for a while, I also decided what to do next.
"Haha, well done."
After all these things were confirmed, the senior brother began to ask how the mourning left these people behind, and after knowing what the mourning did, the senior brother couldn't help laughing, and reached out and patted the mourning on the shoulder, which was used to express the affirmation of the funeral's practice.
After the matter was decided, the senior brother went out of the Tongshan residential area.
He wants to end this war as soon as possible and eliminate all these enemies, so he needs to hurry.
There are a lot of things that need to be prepared tonight as much as possible.
Along with the elder brother, there were also mourners, as well as dozens of slaves in the copper mountain residential area.
The slaves had tools such as pickaxes and shovels in their hands.
These people are all new forces, although most of them have not slept as well as before in the past two days because of the attack of the Black Stone Tribe, but compared with the people of the main tribe who have been driving for nearly a day and a night, their state is undoubtedly much better.
So they have to put a little more effort into traps and things like that.
The elder brother and his party left the tribe to join the people waiting outside.
At this time, these people outside had already eaten, and some of them fell asleep back to back.
Compared to the previous time, the state is much better.
After coming here, Senior Brother began to make arrangements according to the method he had just discussed with them.
Twenty-five citizens of the Qingque tribe were left behind to lie in ambush on the east side between the places where these enemies were temporarily resting and the settlement of Copper Mountain.
Of course, it was different from the resting position when they came, but moved forward a lot, closer to the place where the Blackstone tribe rested.
The specific location was arranged by Yan, after all, he had lived here for a long time and was more familiar with the surrounding geography.
However, when it is hidden, it is more troublesome, because the surrounding area is basically reclaimed as farmland, and the crops in the field at this time have either just sprouted or have not been planted at all, and it is difficult to find a place to hide the body.
In desperation, he had to avoid the best lurking distance, and moved the ambush site to the northeast for almost two miles.
There is a ridge that is not too tall, and there are some ravines, because it is not suitable for cultivation of cultivated land, and there are many dry weeds erected, and the concealment is still very good.
It's just that it's a little too far away from the tribes that the enemy must pass through, but there are not too many other ways to think about it, so I can only make do with it a little bit.
But it's not the most important part here, so it's okay to make do with it.
After appointing a person who is usually more reliable as the temporary person in charge, and leaving behind four drums and three gongs, the senior brother and his large group continued to move and went to the west side to ambush.
Twenty-five citizens of the Blue Sparrow tribe were also left in ambush on the west side, as in the east, along with four drums and three gongs.
The ambush location of the people in the west is relatively close to that of the people in the east, but it is still a little too far compared to the ideal ambush distance.
After arranging these people, Senior Brother and the others began to walk northwest, quietly bypassing the place where the Blackstone Tribal Alliance was resting, and came to the north.
Stop at the rear about three miles from the Blackstone Tribes' coalition forces.
The terrain here is also relatively rugged, and two ridges that show the shape of 'eight' as a whole are distributed here, with a large mouth in the south and a small mouth in the north.
On the top of the two ridges, there are many thorny plants, densely packed, except for some small birds and birds, and animals, even the dogs of the tribe will not burrow here.
As for people, it's even more unthinkable.
Because of the existence of these two ridges, if you want to get to the north of the tribe, you must either take a long detour on both sides, or you need to walk from here.
The Blackstone Tribal coalition had come from here a few days earlier.
The possibility of detouring to both sides is basically non-existent, on the one hand, the distance is too far, and on the other hand, the people who are ambushed on both sides are not vegetarians.
After seeing the terrain here, the senior brother immediately gave a thumbs up to the dead, and he was very satisfied with the ambush site.
Immediately, at the narrowest point in the northern part of the 'figure-eight' valley, people began to dig a trench.
Sixty slaves were brought from the Qingque Lord tribe, and with the addition of fifty slaves from the Copper Mountain settlement, there were one hundred and ten slaves alone.
Coupled with more than 130 citizens of the Qingque tribe and more than 200 people working together, it is not too fast to dig a pit.
In order to make full use of manpower, and also for the sake of insurance, the people of the Qingque tribe dug five ditches at the exit of this 'eight' shape at the same time.
The width of each ditch is between one meter and one meter five, and the spacing between several ditches is also different, some are only one meter, while others are six meters.
Just as they were digging traps behind the gates, these trenches, which were like traps, also had narrow passages. This is to catch people in terms of time.
Of course, the passages left between the several ditches are staggered from each other, so that those who escape can run all the way down the passages.
Under the continuous influence and leadership of their obscene Divine Son, the people of the Qingque tribe are becoming more and more experienced and proficient in how to use the tricks of Yin damage.
This senior brother was not enough, and when everyone was digging a ditch there, he took a dozen or so people to arrange three ropes in turn on the north side of Wudaogou.
Dig a shallow trench in the ground, place a rope along the trench, cover it with a thin layer of soil, and cover it with something like dead grass.
But if anyone runs out of the ditches in time, they will pull the rope up and trip them.
There is a lot of work in the whole car, and the amount of work is not small, but it can't stand the many people of the Qingque tribe, and the tools are good.
By the time it was dark, the ditches had been dug and the general arrangement had been completed.
About half an hour ago, under the order of the senior brother, he took sixty citizens of the Qingque main tribe to bypass the place where the alliance of the Black Stone tribe lived, and quietly returned to the Tongshan residential area.
Letting the Dead bring back the fifty main tribes to the citizens was something that the senior brother had thought about before.
In the battle that is about to begin, the Copper Mountain Settlement will need to make a big difference.
The rest of the arrangement will only take effect if the Copper Mountain Settlement has wounded those enemies and let them flee here.
In other words, the people in the Copper Mountain settlement need to fight these enemies head-on.
In the Tongshan residential area, there were more than 70 adult citizens who could wear armor.
According to the equipment and combat power of the Qingque tribe, these people can fight against an enemy of almost four hundred, but the senior brother does not want to do this.
So he transferred sixty citizens of the main tribe to the Copper Mountain settlement.
In this way, more than 130 against 400 will be more certain, and the loss will be further reduced.
As for the people guarding the trap, in addition to the one hundred and ten slaves, there were still seventy heavily armed citizens of the Qingque tribe, a total of one hundred and eighty people, and it was not a problem to defend this opening.
The sky is starting to get brighter, and the air is filled with the smell of early morning.
The people who trapped the place, after arranging and perfecting the last point, fell into silence.
Everyone hid outside the exit, and the elder brother told a few people to stay awake and keep watch here, while the rest began to eat or sleep.
This battle, from the beginning to the time they need their help, will have to take at least three poles from the time the sun rises.
At this time, everyone can seize the opportunity to take a good rest, especially the sixty slaves from the main tribe and the seventy citizens of the green finch who stayed here.
Not to mention the long journey, last night was setting traps overnight, one by one was tired, many people were holding on, at this time the task was completed, after the senior brother gave the order to rest, many people just sat on the ground, and they were already asleep.
Some people were drinking water, but halfway through it, the jar of water fell out of their hands......
The sky gradually brightened, and the blackstone tribe coalition troops who were sleeping together gradually woke up, and the noisy sound appeared as they woke up, and became louder and louder.
The crowd moved in a mess like sheep.
“#¥5SD!”
The leader of the Blackstone tribe shouted loudly, telling these people to hurry up and get food to eat, and after eating, they could attack the Qingque tribe.
And he himself, after saying these words, also began to eat the roasted food violently, and did not stop until he had finished eating.
Today, we are going to attack this tribe, so naturally we have to eat more.
Not only did he eat enough, but the rest of the tribe also ate relatively well, because the leader of the Blackstone tribe took out most of the food that their tribe carried and gave it to everyone to eat.
The same is true of those tribes that have more adequate food.
Anyway, they can attack the Qingque tribe today, and they don't need to be so frugal in terms of food.
