It took more than two and a half days for Lu Chen to return to Source City with his team.

"King, we have found a tribe near the great river, where the patriarch has taken us, there was no one there before, and this tribe must have migrated from somewhere else.

There are quite a few men in this tribe, maybe more than a hundred men alone, but they are a little shorter than us, and I have seen them busy in the land burned by the wildfires, and maybe this tribe is tidying up the fields and cultivating them......"

Lu Chen came to Su Yan and reported to Su Yan all the limited information he had collected about the Blood Tiger Tribe.

"Well, I see, you go down first."

"No"

After Lu Chen left, Su Yan fell into thinking, most of the naturally developing tribes on the north bank of the Great River, the proportion of men and women minors in the population composition is almost 1:2 to 2.5, if a tribe has a hundred men, then the total population of this tribe will reach about 550 people, in other words, it is a vicious tribe, the population should be less than this number.

It is impossible to determine whether the tribe found is a good tribe or a vicious tribe, and it is impossible to determine how many people there are in that tribe, but it is almost certain that the population of this tribe will be more than five hundred and fifty people.

The tribe of five hundred and fifty people, this is the largest tribe found by the Dragon Tribe so far, and none of the tribes found before have a population of more than four hundred.

This is a tribe that is suspected to be farming, fishing, and hunting as its main means of obtaining food, and if this tribe is given a certain amount of time, perhaps this tribe will become one of the most powerful tribes on the north bank of the Great River.

But Su Yan is not ready to give this tribe a chance, this fire makes Su Yan very unhappy, Su Yan is not happy, then this tribe will be unlucky, this tribe has become the fifth target tribe of the Dragon Tribe this year.

The Blood Tiger Tribe didn't know that the fire they had unleashed in the wilderness had unexpectedly angered the most powerful dragon tribe on the north bank of the Great River, and was about to usher in the dragon tribe's revenge.

The first month of spring is coming to an end, Yuan and Zhi each led an expedition team to complete two expedition missions, integrating the three tribes into the Dragon Tribe, increasing the population of the Dragon Tribe by more than 400 people, and the remaining tribe was a cannibal tribe, which was directly wiped out by the expedition team led by Zhi.

According to the order that Su Yan conveyed to Zhi in advance, on the last day of the first month, Biao rushed from Chicheng to Yuancheng with one hundred and fifty male clansmen and one hundred female clansmen, and Yuancheng also gathered a team composed of one hundred and fifty male clansmen and one hundred female clansmen, and the two teams converged together, and the number of troops preparing to conquer the Blood Tiger Tribe had reached five hundred.

In the team of 500 people, 200 female clansmen are used as auxiliaries to carry various supplies and participate in the battle when necessary; Three hundred male clansmen were the main force of battle, including fifty archers and fifty vine armor soldiers.

Fifty archers are all armed with recurved bamboo bows, and the jungle to the south is burned down, so archers can definitely show their skills in this environment.

There are archers, and this time there are no spearmen, archers are a relatively young profession, among the fifty archers, none of them are more than twenty years old, and in the future they will completely replace the spearthrowers in the dragon tribe.

However, Yuan and Zhi are more accustomed to spearmen, and they only bring spearmen and not archers with them in every foreign battle.

The first day of the second month of spring

"Let's go!"

Su Yan gave an order, and a team of five hundred people left from the south gate of Source City and headed south, targeting the Blood Tiger Tribe.

This time, the battle of the Blood Tiger Tribe was led by Su Yan himself, and the four patriarchs of Biao, Yingyang, Yuerong, and He An followed.

The team left Source City, Lu Chen led a team of ten people as scouts to break away from the team, the scout team is known for their speed and endurance, exploring the way for the team, determining whether the front is safe, once the enemy is found, they will immediately retreat, if it is safe, they will leave conspicuous marks along the way, and the team will follow the marks.

Not counting the dragon tribe, the tribes on the north bank of the Great River and the tribes on the south bank of the Great River are very different in battle.

The fighters on the north bank of the river used their favorite weapons, stone spears, stone axes, wooden sticks, stones, short spears, etc., and there was almost no discipline when fighting, everyone could come as they wanted, at most they were ambushed, pursued, attacked, retreated and other simple tactics according to the orders of the chief, but this was also related to the number of tribes, and the number was too small to make more arrangements.

When they arrived on the south bank of the Great River, the tribes on the south bank of the Great River had initially solved the problem of food, and they could take time to think about changing their tribe's fighting methods, and the tribes on the south bank of the Great River were more numerous, and a tribe could concentrate at least a hundred combatants.

For example, the Niu tribe, originally the Niu tribe belonged to an ordinary tribe on the south bank of the Great River, with a population of hundreds of people, bows and arrows, rattan shields, rattan armor, stone spears and stone axes are the most common weapons and equipment on the south bank of the Great River.

But the cattle tribe has a special existence - the cow, the cattle tribe formed the cow cavalry, and the cattle and people hung rattan armor, arrows can not cause too much damage to the cattle cavalry, there are cattle cavalry, the cattle tribe slowly developed tactics suitable for the cattle tribe with the cattle cavalry as the center, so that the cattle tribe continued to defeat other tribes on the south bank of the river, and grew rapidly.

The Blood Tiger Tribe was also invincible before the battle with the Niu Tribe, the Blood Tiger Tribe relied on its tall physique, and was still equipped with a short spear as a long-range weapon, the opponent's arrows could not penetrate the Blood Tiger Tribe's vine shield and rattan armor, the distance was shortened, and the Blood Tiger tribe threw a short spear that was likely to penetrate the opponent's vine shield and vine armor, and when it came to close combat, the advantage of the Blood Tiger Tribe was more obvious.

However, the Blood Tiger Tribe encountered the Niu Tribe with the Niu Cavalry, and the Niu Cavalry broke up the formation of the Blood Tiger Tribe with a single charge, and also caused a lot of casualties, and the victory or defeat of the battle between the Blood Tiger Tribe and the Niu Tribe was decided almost at this moment.

It's just that the Blood Tiger Tribe has higher combat effectiveness in close combat, ignoring the problem of men and women, the Blood Tiger Tribe gave the Niu Tribe a heavy blow in close combat, if it continues to fight, the Blood Tiger Tribe will be completely wiped out, and the losses of the Niu Tribe will be more serious, and finally the Blood Tiger Tribe will become the only tribe that survived the Niu's decades of conquest.

There is a big difference between the way the Great River and the Great River South Bank fight, but it does not mean that the tribes on the south bank of the Great River will become one of the most powerful tribes on the north bank of the Great River.

The jungle on the north bank of the river is dense, and sometimes the bow and arrow do not play much role, and the people on the south bank of the river are shorter, if there is no absolute numerical superiority, the outcome of the battle may be reversed.

When it comes to the dragon tribe, there are not too many advantages in tactics on the south bank of the river, and the advantages in weapons alone are enough, such as copper spears, copper swords, copper axes, rattan shields, rattan armor and copper shields with higher defensive power, bamboo recurve bows that have developed to a certain level, and even longbows that are more powerful than throwing spears.

What's more important is the number of people, the number of people crushes everything, and now the Dragon Tribe has more than 1,300 adult male clansmen alone, and the total population of the Blood Tiger Tribe before the war with the Niu tribe is this number.

This time, Su Yan sent five hundred people to deal with the Blood Tiger Tribe that had just been discovered, even if there was a certain error in the intelligence, the outcome of this battle was already doomed.
