Chapter 80: The Battle (I)
In the woods to the west of the snake tribe's residence, a huge wolf tribe hunting party groped its way, counting the leader, this huge hunting party had eighty-seven people, and one person had died in the hunt before.
Eighty-seven adult males, counting all the adult males of the Snake and Tiger Tribal Alliance, will number more than fifty, which is a huge gap.
The former leader of the hunting party came to the edge of the woods, and he listened to the faint sound of the snake tribe's residence in the distance, but he did not find the people of the snake and tiger tribe alliance who were hiding behind the wall and were in charge of guarding.
After a dozen breaths, the leader came behind the former captain of the hunting party.
"Chief, that's the tribe there."
The leader nodded in understanding.
"Last time we ......," the former captain of the hunting party continued to the leader, recounting how he had led the hunting party in an attack on the Serpent Tribe last winter.
After listening to the story of the former captain of the hunting team, the leader looked at the snake tribe residence in the distance, and fell into a little thought, to be able to become the leader, his strength is undoubtedly the strongest in the wolf tribe, in addition, his wisdom is not bad, maybe he can't catch up with wisdom, but it is definitely much higher than Biao.
The snake tribe has tall "walls" on both sides and even around it, the height is a bit high, but there is snow under the wall, as long as there is a person under the wall, everyone else can climb the wall.
The last time the former captain of the hunting party took the rear, he went around to the back to attack the snake tribe, and finally failed, and it is not advisable to take this way again, and he can attack directly from this side, maybe he can achieve the effect of sneak attack.
After some thought, the leader made a final battle plan, sneaking up on the Serpent tribe's residence directly from the west, and if it was discovered, he would speed up his advance, rush up the brick wall to attack, and if the enemy was stronger, retreat immediately.
Soon, the battle plan was issued for everyone to know.
The leader waved his hand back, and the members of the hunting party behind him jumped out of the woods, forming a straggler line of about twenty people in roughly four rows, and they bent down and quietly approached the snake tribe's residence with various weapons such as stone spears, stone axes, stones, and wooden sticks.
At the moment when the wolf tribe hunting party rushed out of the woods, the west brick wall of the snake tribe's residence, Jian and his spouse, who were hiding behind the brick wall, found the enemy rushing out of the woods.
The distance between the brick wall and the woods is more than 100 meters, and there are no large trees on the snow between the two, so the people in charge of the fence can quickly spot the enemy rushing out of the woods.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As the two sticks clattered, Jian and his spouse shouted into the tribe, "There are enemies!" There are enemies! There are a lot of enemies! There are a lot of enemies! ”
"There are enemies!" Hearing the sirens and Jian's shouts, everyone in the residence stopped what they were doing.
"Quick, grab your weapons and go to the brick wall to the west." Chi, who was watching Biao and vigorously fight, immediately gave an order, and Chi said as he picked up the stone spear that had been placed aside and ran towards the brick wall to the west.
In fact, it didn't take Zhi to give orders, so the adult clansmen only paused after hearing the sirens and Jian's shouts, grabbed the weapons that were placed not far from them, and ran towards the brick wall to the west.
Stone spears and axes were commonly used by the tribesmen, and under the walls of the Snake tribe's residence on three sides, there were small compartments made of adobe bricks, in which a large number of short spears and fist-sized stones were placed.
The adults of the Snake and Tiger Tribal Alliance came to the western wall, and they took out the short spears and stones from the compartment, waiting for Zhi, who had already climbed the low wall and looked out of the wall, to give the battle order.
Zhi stood on the low wall and looked at the enemy groping his way in the snow in the distance, they seemed to realize that their target had found them, and one of the people who was supposed to be the leader shouted a word that Zhi did not understand, and the next moment, the enemy raised his body and ran towards the Snake Tribe's residence.
As they ran, some of them were still shouting.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Zhi frowned, there are too many enemies, at least there are a lot more adult males than the two tribes of snakes and tigers, fortunately, there are still a large number of adult women in the two tribes of snakes and tigers who can participate in the battle, and they are on the defending side, and the situation is strong against them.
The enemy quickly approached the Serpent Tribe's dwellings, far from the range of short spears and stones, and all the adults of the Serpent Tribe who could participate in the battle came, and there were some children who were close to adulthood standing at the back to assist in the battle, and they would also participate in the battle if necessary, and the younger children had already retreated into the cave to hide.
All of this was a battle plan made in advance, and even several drills were conducted under the command of Su Yan, and now that the enemy is really coming, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner according to the drill, only a few places are panicked because of the real arrival of the enemy.
"Up!"
At the command of Zhiyi, all adult males climbed the low wall with a short spear or stone, and the two people next to each other kept a certain distance from each other, and each person had to have a certain amount of space to throw the spear and stone at a greater distance.
"Again!"
Dozens more adult women climbed the low wall, their positions on the left flank, and the front was given to the adult males.
Short spears and stones are both throwing weapons, although people from both tribes have been practicing, but not everyone can master the throwing skills well, especially when attacking moving targets, at this time it is a good choice to replace quality with quantity.
By the end of summer and autumn, most pregnant women had already given birth, and even if there were adult women who were already pregnant, only a few months old, it was still possible to do some work of passing short spears and stones, and those who were not pregnant could participate in the battle.
In addition, some children who are close to adulthood can also pass short spears and stones to adults on the low wall, so that more than 80 people can climb the low wall to participate in the battle, and more than 80 people will assist in the battle.
"Rush! Kill! The leader of the wolf tribe shouted at the back of the group, telling the tribesmen to rush to the enemy faster, press up, and tear the enemy apart, the wolf tribe does not know how many primitive tribes have been destroyed in this way, and in the heart of the leader of the wolf tribe, this time will be the same.
The leader is the strongest person in the wolf tribe, and in a cannibal tribe like the wolf tribe, there are constantly people who challenge him to become the leader, even when he is injured, there will be people who will challenge, and the challenger will not care if he is injured or not.
So every time he fights, as the leader, he has always commanded the battle at the back of the team to avoid his own injuries, and it is acceptable to suffer a slight injury, but if the injury is serious, his leader's position is not guaranteed.
The former captain of the hunting team is now just an ordinary clansman, he is placed in the front queue, he can clearly see the figures leaning out of the wall, the tragic scenes resurfaced in front of him, he has worries and some fears, he is worried about the repeat of the defeat, but he can't retreat, in the wolf tribe, running away is death.
"Rush! Kill! ”
