Through the mouth of the captive, Bai Lijian learned that this time it was a small cottage called Feiyu Village, which was a group of Huren mountain bandits who belonged to Ye Bu's men. The number of this group is about 300, most of them are herdsmen who have been coerced, and only a few dozen people are real mountain bandits, all of whom are good at archery.

When Bailijian's team first entered Helan Mountain, they actually knew the news when they didn't accept it at night, but they didn't dare to make up their minds when they saw that there was a cavalry team escorting them. However, when the cavalry team suddenly disappeared after a black storm, the evil intentions of not collecting the night were immediately revealed.

Ye Bushu was able to develop and grow in this Helan Mountain, in addition to his ability and courage, prudence is also his usual style, and he did not dare to attack before he figured out the reality of Bailijian's team. Feiyu Village, which happened to be attached to him, was best at sneak attacks, so there was a night attack tonight, just to find out Bailijian's strength.

It's just that what Ye Bushu didn't expect was that the shooters of Feiyu Village would be crushed by the cavalry that suddenly appeared, and without the cover of the shooters, the rest of the rabble naturally could not pose any threat to the camp.

However, the attack of Feiyu Village gave Bai Lijian a warning, the current Helan Mountain is very dangerous, and there are many forces outside that can threaten him, so he must speed up his pace and make himself stronger.

When the sun rose at dawn, Mangula returned with his cavalry, and with a great deal of harvest. When the early risers saw what Mangula had brought back, the whole camp boiled.

When Mangula saw Bailijian, he immediately jumped off his horse and asked Bailijian for credit: "Repay the son, Mangula is fortunate not to be dishonored, he chased all the way to the enemy's lair, broke through their cottage, captured one hundred and twenty-five people, brought back five carts of goods, and ten war horses, fifty pairs of bows and arrows, thousands of arrows, thirty scimitars, and five pairs of armor. ”

Looking at the complacent Mangula, Bailijian really didn't want him to be too proud, but this time Mangula did it too well, Bailijian couldn't help but praise him in public: "Okay, well done!" Everybody's doing well! ”

Bailijian's praise made Mangula quite excited, and he raised the scimitar in his hand and roared into the sky, followed by the cavalry covered in blood and wounds, and also raised his scimitar and roared into the sky, and the morale was high for a while, and the whole camp was full of laughter.

The reason why the people in the camp were so happy was not because of the war horses and weapons and equipment, but because of the five carts of goods. Three of them were loaded with grain. This is a relief for tribes that are experiencing food shortages.

But what really made Bailijian happy was the other two truckloads of goods. These two goods were obviously the merchants', presumably the people of Feiyu Village who robbed the passing caravans and left them behind.

One of the cars was loaded with tea, which was a godsend for Bailijian, who had eaten grassland meat for ten years. Tea in this era is still only popular among those famous people, there are not many people who drink tea on the grassland, and even fewer people know that tea can relieve greasy. Seeing the tea at this time, Baili couldn't wait to brew a cup of boiling water immediately and taste it beautifully.

However, compared with the first car of tea, the things of the other car are what Bailijian values the most, because what is loaded on it is actually a whole car of fine iron.

There is a lack of iron in the grasslands, so the grassland people also lack weapons and equipment, and lack daily necessities. The Helanda tribe is a wealthy tribe, but every household cannot have an iron pot, so that now that the population has increased, all the iron pots must be gathered together to cook meat and cook to meet everyone's daily needs.

Now with this cart of iron, as long as you can find a blacksmith who can strike iron, you can immediately make many iron pots, iron kettles and other daily utensils, and in the future, the Han people can also use iron agricultural tools to reclaim the land, and even make swords and armor. With this car, Bailijian can do a lot of things. There is nothing that makes Bailijian happier than being able to quickly improve his strength.

This cart of iron and a cart of tea were immediately seized by Bailijian, which will become a strategic material for the entire tribe, and no one is allowed to move lightly.

The other three carts were loaded with a large amount of grain, each of which was about more than 1,000 catties, enough for 300 people to eat for three months. If you count the cow and sheep milk, beef and mutton and the meat obtained from hunting, it will not be a problem to last for half a year. The food problem was greatly alleviated at once.

However, Bailijian does not plan to eat all this grain, the environment of Helan Mountain is not bad, according to the observation of the old Han farmers, there is a lot of land suitable for cultivation, so some of it must be left as food.

For the time being, there is no need to worry about the food problem, but now Bailijian is facing a more serious security problem.

There are more than 300 people in just one Feiyu Village, and according to the confessions of the captives in Feiyu Village, there are nearly 1,000 people under the command of Ye Bu, of which there are four or five hundred people who can fight well. With the strength of the Bailijian tribe's army, which is now less than a hundred, it is simply impossible to compete with them.

"We must build the cottage as soon as possible!" Bai Lijian thought urgently in his mind. Only by occupying favorable terrain can we effectively alleviate the disadvantage of insufficient personnel.

After tossing all night, Mangula and his team were already very tired, and Bailijian asked them to rest first, and the rest of the people continued to build according to the previous division of labor. More than 100 people who had just been captured were assigned to mine stones, which greatly relieved the pressure on the personnel.

Before the cottage was built, Bailijian did not dare to be careless for a moment. When Mangula attacked, it was already close to dawn, and they had already returned when the sun just came out, which showed that Feiyu Village was not far from here, but the sentinels who had scattered it when they first arrived here did not find it, which showed that the location of Feiyu Village was very hidden. Bai Lijian's heart moved, and he couldn't help but want to take a look.

casually pulled a captive from Feiyu Village to lead the way, and Bai Lijian took two followers to the old lair of Feiyu Village.

The old nest of Feiyu Village is actually a huge cave, and the entrance of the cave is covered with dense vegetation, which cannot be found at all without looking closely. If Mangula hadn't followed the minions of Feiyu Village who had fled all the way, he wouldn't have been able to discover this place.

Walking into the cave, the inside suddenly opened up, and there were several rays of sunlight shining in overhead, nourishing several stout trees. There is also an underground stream passing under the crack in the stone next to it, and the environment is really not to say.

It was a mess as it had just been looted, with broken wood chips and torn strips of cloth everywhere, blood still in many places, some of which had not even dried up.

Bai Lijian was very relieved in his heart, Mangula had not forgotten what he said, the corpse must be cleaned up and buried in time, or simply burned in a fire. The bodies here have apparently been cleaned up.
