Chapter 84: Defensive Strategy

At the end of the battle, this was the second time that the Snake Tribe had defeated this ferocious enemy, and even wiped out the second wave of enemies, and in this cold winter, the Snake and Tiger Tribal Alliance did not send people to completely destroy this murderous tribe.

Last winter, the Snake Tribe killed more than 20 enemies, and this winter, the Snake and Tiger Tribal Alliance killed a full 87 enemies, and the two times together totaled more than 110 people, you must know that these 110 people are all adult males, even if the population composition of this vicious tribe is different from that of the Snake Tribe Tiger Tribe, but its total population is more than 300 people.

This is just Su Yan's calculation, no one can be sure how many people there are in this murderous tribe, and no one knows where this murderous tribe is.

Su Yan understands the truth of "cutting grass and eradicating roots", but he doesn't know what the specific situation of this enemy is, especially in the cold and dangerous winter, he can only grope to the west to find this enemy, when he can find this enemy is unknown, and how much loss he needs to pay when he finds this enemy's place of residence is also unknown.

When the enemy's place of residence is found, if the enemy's strength is greatly damaged, the Snake and Tiger Tribal Alliance can destroy this enemy at a certain price, and then capture some adult women and girls to join the Snake and Tiger tribes, and if they can capture adult men and boys can be used as slaves.

But it is also possible that this enemy still has a strength comparable to or even surpasses the Snake and Tiger Tribal Alliance after losing more than a hundred adult laborers, and at that time, the Snake and Tiger Tribe Joint Hunting Team that took the initiative to send it to the door would be dangerous.

Counting the population composition of the snake tribe and the tiger tribe, not counting the disciples and leaders of the witch and the witch, the total number of adult males of the snake tribe and the tiger tribe is about fifty, and the adult female is about ninety, and the adult male of this unknown enemy who died twice in the hands of the snake tribe and the tiger tribe is more than one hundred and ten, and the comparison between the two can see the terrible strength of this enemy.

If it weren't for the fact that the Snake Tribe's residence was blocked by a mountain peak and three brick walls, and if it weren't for the Snake and Tiger Tribal Alliance's preparation of throwing a large number of weapons, I am afraid that as soon as eighty-seven enemies rushed up, even if the Snake and Tiger Tribal Alliance could repel this enemy, it would have suffered heavy losses of its own.

The Snake and Tiger Tribal Alliance is not a powerful force, at least the strength of this murderous tribe that raided the Snake Tribe's residence twice is stronger than the Snake and Tiger Tribal Alliance.

According to the current situation of the Snake and Tiger Tribal Alliance, Su Yan formulated a defensive strategy for the Snake and Tiger Tribal Alliance, focusing on defense at all times, and remembering not to take the initiative to attack.

Take the enemy's raid on the snake tribe's residence as an example, when the enemy raids the snake tribe's residence, the people of the snake and tiger tribal alliance only need to stand behind the brick wall and throw short spears and stones at the enemy, unless the enemy has an overwhelming advantage in numbers, otherwise with the number of short spears and stones reserved by the snake and tiger tribe alliance, it is difficult for the enemy to rush to the brick wall, unless the enemy pays a huge loss of personnel.

When the enemy is repulsed, the retreating enemy must not be pursued, and no one can be sure whether there is still an enemy in ambush in the woods.

Even if there is no enemy ambush in the woods, the enemy really wants to escape, and he can't pursue it, when the snake and tiger tribal alliance and the enemy are in close combat, no matter how much advantage the snake and tiger tribal alliance has, it is difficult to avoid casualties, and for the snake and tiger tribal alliance, every life is precious.

Of course, it is not completely impossible to pursue the fleeing enemy, first of all, it is necessary to make sure that the enemy is really trying to escape, secondly, to make sure that the Snake and Tiger Tribal Alliance has this absolute strength to crush, and then when pursuing the enemy, everyone must be fully armed and must bring a rattan shield, and finally act together.

This time, the first half of the battle of the wolf tribe raiding the snake tribe was very good, and in the second half, Biao directly violated the regulations, and was the first to climb down the wall to pursue the enemy, and then Biao's people also climbed down the wall, under normal circumstances, it should be behind the wall, and all the people of the snake and tiger tribe alliance climbed over the wall together under the command of Zhi to pursue the enemy.

In addition, when they chase the enemy over the wall, they only carry offensive weapons and do not carry defensive weapons, and the vine shield can block the enemy's fatal blow at a critical moment, no matter when, protecting their own lives is the first priority, but there is also the reason why the vine shield is not by their side.

This time, the Snake and Tiger Tribal Alliance made several mistakes when pursuing the enemy, so that there were serious casualties of two people killed in battle and one seriously injured, if the battle rules formulated by Su Yan were strictly followed, one person could be seriously injured in this battle against the wolf tribe.

With this experience, if there is another enemy attack, I believe that the Snake and Tiger Tribal Alliance will do better.

……

Time goes back to the day when the leader of the wolf tribe left the wolf tribe's residence with the hunting party.

Looking at the hunting team in the distance, a trace of uneasiness appeared in the wolf witch's heart, he didn't know where this uneasiness came from, he could only silently pray to the gods to bless the hunting team to return smoothly with food.

The wolf witch carved a mark on a blank stone slab in the cave, representing the first day of the hunting party's departure.

The next day, the second hunting team composed of ten adult males, ten adult females, and five children close to adulthood left the wolf tribe's residence and hunted wild beasts in the surrounding area, the wolf tribe had run out of food, and it was not known when the leader would return with the hunting team, and before the leader did not return, they would also have to solve the food problem of the people left behind.

On the third night, a heavy snowfall unexpectedly arrived, and the wolf witch knew that the return of the hunting party would be delayed for a few days.

Until the wolf witch carved the tenth trace on the stone slab, the hunting team still did not come back, and the wolf witch felt a little more uneasy.

On the eleventh day, another heavy snowfall came.

With each additional mark carved on the stone slab, the uneasiness in the wolf witch's heart became more and more serious.

The traces on the slate increased to fifteen, and the hunting party did not return, and the traces on the slate increased to twenty, and the hunting party still did not return.

The wolf witch has determined that the leader and the hunting party will never come back, the target of the hunting team this time is probably a very strong enemy, and no one in the hunting team has fled back, maybe someone has escaped, but there is a high chance of being eaten by wild beasts.

The wolf witch knew that the wolf tribe had provoked a powerful enemy, but the wolf tribe did not need to move, that enemy was far away from the wolf tribe, and it was impossible for them to easily find the wolf tribe's residence.

In front of the wolf totem pole, the wolf witch holds a small sacrifice, and the last nineteen adult males of the wolf tribe fight to elect the new leader of the wolf tribe, and the wolf witch crowns the new leader.

The strength of the wolf tribe has been greatly damaged, but the wolf tribe still has a certain heritage, when spring comes, about ten of those children will become adult tribesmen, as long as the wolf tribe is given a few years, the wolf tribe will become that murderous cannibal tribe again.
