Chapter 564: The Sole Survivor
With absolute strength, the war of the Xia Kingdom against other tribes is flat pushing.
After resting for the night in the Xia Expeditionary Force, leaving enough guards, the rest continued to set off for the next subordinate tribe of the Japanese tribe.
Lu Chen all the way and Rabbit Bin all the way smoothly captured their second target, only the snake guard all the way to the accident again, when the snake guard all the way to the target tribe, found that this tribe has gone to the empty building, and the time to leave is not long, probably just over an hour, but more than an hour is enough time to throw the snake all the way away.
The snake guard guessed that it should be the person who escaped from the tribe that he conquered yesterday came to the nearest tribe and told them the news, and then the tribe hurriedly fled, worried that the snake guard would attack all the way.
The warriors led by the snake guard were very disappointed, the enemy fled, the battle was gone, and their opportunity to make meritorious service was lost.
It was just past noon, and according to the plan formulated by Su Yan, the expeditionary force would conquer at most two tribes in each of the three routes, and then return to the Japanese tribe's residence with the prisoners and booty, and finally the remaining tribe would give up.
After all, after conquering the two tribes on each road, there must be enough people to guard the captives, and there are not enough people to attack the third tribe, but the snake guard failed all the way, and the snake guard decided to continue to advance to the next tribe, according to the Japanese tribe woman who led the way, as long as the speed is faster, you can reach the last tribe before dark.
While Luchen Yiyi and Tubin each completed their conquest against the second target tribe, Snake Shou was still on his way to the last tribe.
In order to compete for the last chance to make meritorious contributions, the warriors of the snake guard all the way have accelerated their march, hurried and hurried, and finally reached the last tribe when the sun was about to set, and while the sky was not dark, the snake guard captured the tribe all the way.
Basically, the war between the Xia Expeditionary Legion and the Japanese tribal camp ended, and the Japanese tribal camp had a total of eight tribes with seven subordinates, and only one subordinate tribe with less than 1,000 people fled, and the remaining seven tribes were all wiped out by the Xia Expeditionary Legion.
The Japanese tribal camp had a population of more than 14,000 people, and more than 2,500 people were killed, mainly adult men, a small number of adult women and people who were about to become adults, except for nearly 1,000 people who escaped for their lives, and the remaining nearly 11,000 people were captured by the Xia State Expeditionary Corps.
After this battle, only 17 people were killed in the Xia Expeditionary Legion, and only about 30 people were injured.
It was a great victory, and the Xia Kingdom almost wiped out the Japanese tribe camp, one of the two most powerful tribes (factions) in its territory, and obtained a large amount of loot, as well as a population of more than 10,000.
On the way home, the soldiers who feel that they can make meritorious contributions are happy every day, and if they make meritorious contributions, they can be rewarded with women, especially those younger soldiers in the Xia State Expeditionary Legion, there is basically only one woman, under the influence of the surrounding environment, which man doesn't want to have more women?
The war of the Xia Kingdom against the Japanese tribal camp is over, but there is still a war about to break out on the Eastern Front, which is the war of the Xia Kingdom against the fishing tribes, and this war was put into the summer by Su Yan.
At that time, the soldiers of the expeditionary corps will also be rotated, and the soldiers of the various cities, fields, armies, and city defense armies who did not participate in the war just now will be their turn to appear in the next war, and every soldier will have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, depending on their own strength.
On the battlefield on the Western Front, the war between the cavalry town and the nomadic tribes is also over, but this is only the beginning, every two months in the future, the cavalry town will go deep into the grassland to obtain more cattle, horses and sheep for the Xia country, and by the way, rob some people and obtain a large number of animal skins.
It is war, so that Xia Guo can get more population, cattle, horses, sheep and other materials, it is war, so that Xia Guo has a faster development speed, in this backward era, Su Yan can only choose to use war to make Xia Guo strong quickly, instead of struggling in one natural disaster after another.
It will take some time for the expeditionary corps to withdraw from the Japanese tribal camp, more than 10,000 prisoners, 2,000 expeditionary soldiers, and a large amount of loot all need to be transported back to the Xia country through the fleet, and the huge fleet composed of fifteen B-type ships can carry 3,000 adults at a time, and if you want to transport 13,000 people and a large amount of loot back, you need to make at least four trips back and forth in the fleet.
One trip takes about 24 days, and all four trips have already entered the summer, and the speed is a bit slow, so more ships need to be mobilized to transport, and strive to complete the delivery task at the time of the spring and summer handover.
Su Yan didn't stay long in the Japanese tribe's residence, the war was over, and Su Yan didn't need to stay here all the time, and when he returned on the first trip, Su Yan returned to Zhongjing City.
After going back and forth for nearly a month, when he returned to the palace in Zhongjing City, Su Yan did not rush to deal with government affairs, but got together with his wife and children, and for a month, Su Yan missed his wife and children very much.
When the next day came, Su Yan entered the study to deal with government affairs, and there were already more than a dozen documents on the desk of Su Yan in the study to deal with government affairs, all of which were national affairs that needed to be handled by Su Yan.
Looking through the documents, Su Yan could feel that in the month since he left, there had been no chaos in Xia Guo, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.
Because of a series of wars last year, the number of slaves in the Xia Kingdom doubled, the new slaves did not work as honestly as the old people, always thinking about the storm/escape from the violence, the iron mine was the most intense, one of the guards died unexpectedly, many were injured, and finally more than 100 slaves were killed, killing chickens and monkeys, and the remaining newcomers were honest.
Su Yan made an instruction, kill the slaves who should be killed, and kill the slaves to the cold, so that the slaves who resist are afraid.
The Ministry of Industry reported that the construction of the new ship of Licheng Shipyard was smooth, and the hull of the ship has been built eighty percent, and it is expected to be completed and launched in the second month of summer.
Su Yan instructed that on the day the new ship was launched, he would personally go to the Licheng Shipyard to watch it.
The Licheng Shipyard was built in the autumn of the previous year, and after the completion of the shipyard, a large number of shipbuilders were transferred from the Yuancheng Shipyard and the Zhoucheng Shipyard, and a group of new people were added to enter, and the Licheng Shipyard officially opened shipbuilding.
The first batch of ships built at the Licheng Shipyard consisted of two, one was an improved version of the A-boat, the newcomers were mainly involved in the construction of this ship, and the other was a new type of ship, which was mainly built by experienced old people.
It will take more time to build a new type of ship, which was not completed last year, and it will take this summer to be completed, which is longer than the time it took for Zhoucheng Shipyard to build a Type B ship.
The carrying capacity of the Type B ship is currently enough for Xia Guo to use, Xia Guo now needs a faster ship, the design direction of the new ship is speed, it is expected to be faster than Xia Guo's current fastest improved version of the Type A boat, but the specific as soon as possible depends on the situation after the new ship is launched, there is a possibility of failure.
……
The war between the Xia and the Japanese tribe camp has been over for many days, and the people of the Ding tribe who are hiding in a place far away from their tribe's residence are terrified, almost, just closely, the Ding tribe will be wiped out by the Xia people along with the other tribes in the Japanese tribe camp.
The expression of the leader of the Ding tribe was constantly changing, some luck and some sorrow.
The change came too quickly, and the fast Ding leader couldn't react a little.
Before, the Sun Tribe camp was still the overlord of the surrounding land within a radius of hundreds of miles, the Night Tribe camp was defeated by the Sun Tribe camp, the Night Bear Alliance was also defeated by the Sun Tribe camp, and the natural disaster was carried by the Sun Tribe camp, even if the tribes and camps around the Sun Tribe camp formed an alliance to fight against the Sun Tribe camp, the Japanese Tribe camp was not afraid.
If it weren't for the fact that the territory of the Japanese tribal camp was too big to digest, the Japanese tribal camp would continue to expand its territory.
But a few days ago, everything changed.
More than a dozen people who escaped from tribe B, including the three Japanese tribesmen, came to the Ding tribe panting, and told the Ding leader about the defeat of the Japanese tribe by the Xia people and the defeat of the B tribe by the Xia people, and they also said that the Xia people would soon attack the Ding tribe.
After learning of these things, how dare the Ding leader continue to wait, and hurriedly gather all the people of the Ding tribe to take what they can take away and flee directly, away from the homeland where his tribe has lived for decades.
If only the Ri tribe was defeated, the leader of Ding would not choose to move, after all, there was still tribe B in front of him, and now even tribe B was defeated by the Xia people, obviously the Xia tribe can find tribe B, and they can also find the Ding tribe, the strength of tribe B is only a little weaker than that of the Ding tribe, tribe B cannot resist the people of Xia, and it is difficult for the Ding tribe to resist the people of Xia, and it is not sure of the next situation, the Ding tribe can only choose to escape.
Before leaving, the leader of Ding sent a few fast-legged tribesmen to observe the situation in the jungle, and then received the news that the Xia people had arrived at the residence of the Ding tribe.
At that time, the Ding leader and the tribesmen of the Ding tribe were very happy, fortunately they fled in advance, if it was later, the Ding tribe might fall to the other tribes in the Japanese tribe camp.
After that, the leader of Ding sent people with fast legs and feet to observe the situation outside the various tribes of the Japanese tribe camp, and the final result shocked everyone of the Ding tribe, except for the Ding tribe, the other seven tribes of the Japanese tribe camp were killed by the Xia country, and the overlord of the Japanese tribe camp within a radius of 100 miles was destroyed by the Xia people, and only the Ding tribe survived.
The Sect Master Ri tribe was wiped out, the Ri tribe camp was gone, it was just a tribe of nearly a thousand people, and the leader of Ding didn't know what to do for a while.
Because there is a powerful Japanese tribe with seven affiliated tribes to form the Japanese tribe camp, the Ding tribe can live well on this land, the Japanese tribe camp is gone, the Japanese tribe camp is surrounded by powerful tribes (camps), the Ding tribe will definitely not be the opponent of those tribes, if they are discovered, the fate of the Ding tribe can be imagined.
"What should we do?" The leader of the Ding tribe summoned the top brass of the Ding tribe to make an inquiry.
"Chief, why don't we find a friendly and powerful faction to join?" A high-ranking Ding tribe member proposed.
As soon as the words fell, someone immediately retorted: "The relationship between the Japanese tribal camp and the surrounding tribal camps is not good, we originally belonged to the Japanese tribal camp, and now that we have joined their camp, can they treat our tribe kindly?" Most likely, they will eat our tribe directly. ”
"Then let's wait here for a while, it's impossible for the Xia people to occupy our place, their home is far away from here, they will definitely leave, and when the Xia people leave, we'll go back."
"How do you go back? When the Xia people left, they destroyed the settlements of various tribes, and I don't know how much time it takes to rebuild a settlement, I am afraid that if the residence is not built, many tribesmen will freeze to death in winter. ”
At this time, one of the three men of the three Japanese tribesmen in the Ding tribe, two men and one woman, said: "I have a suggestion, the Japanese tribe was worried that the Xia people would attack the Japanese tribe, so they prepared a back road in advance, and repaired the half-destroyed night tribe residence, which can accommodate thousands of people, and our tribe can move there." ”
The people of the day tribe or these three day tribesmen have already regarded the Ding tribe as their own home, the day tribe is gone, the day tribe camp is gone, the Ding tribe belongs to a member of the day tribe camp, everyone is relatively close, joining the Ding tribe is the best choice for the three of them, so the three of them will say the back hand of the day tribe, anyway, the day tribe is gone.
"Really? The Japanese tribe really has this preparation, and it is just right for our tribe to move there. Leader Ding laughed and said, this news is great news for the Ding tribe who have been homeless, and now the Ding tribe lacks a home.
"Really, all three of us were involved in building it."
"Really."
"It's true."
The three Yuanri tribesmen said one after another.
"Well, let's get some rest and leave there tomorrow to start a new life for our tribe." Chief Ding made the final decision.
Spring ploughing is coming, Leader Ding doesn't have time to line up a group of people to go over to investigate, the possibility of the three Yuanri tribesmen telling lies is very low, Leader Ding chooses to believe the three of them.
If you can choose, the Ding tribe will definitely not choose to join other camps, when in the Japanese tribe camp, the Japanese tribe is better for the seven subsidiary tribes, not too harsh, only ask the seven tribes to contribute some animal skins, after the victory of the foreign war, the spoils of war The Japanese tribe will take half of it, and the remaining will be divided by the seven subsidiary tribes according to how much they contribute.
You must know that without the war, the tribe will occupy about half of the entire camp, and it is okay to take half of the loot or even more, and the Japanese tribe is only taking half, so the Ding tribe is very loyal to the Japanese tribe and basically will not betray the Japanese tribe, but unfortunately now the Japanese tribe is gone.
And joining other camps, other camps are at odds with the Japanese tribe camp on the one hand, and what is more serious is that the suzerains of other camps are more harsh on the subordinate tribes, and the Nadine tribe will definitely not feel good.
Being able to find a new home away from other tribal camps now is definitely the biggest reward for the Ding tribe.
"God bless!" The people of the Ding tribe silently prayed to the gods.
