Chapter 379: The Thousand Great Tribes in the North 2/2
Casualties are inevitable in war, and it is impossible for all adult males of the Aoki tribe to be willing to fight, but when it comes to making a choice, more than half of the adult males choose to fight.
And those adult male clansmen who are not willing to fight will not choose to come to the camp of not fighting, that will only make other clansmen think that they are cowardly and timid, and for the sake of face, they also choose to fight.
The Aoki Leader didn't care why the people all chose to fight, as long as he got such a result, it was enough, because the Aoki Leader also wanted to fight.
Under the leadership of the Aoki chieftain, the entire Aoki tribe is running at great speed, preparing for the upcoming war.
The Aoki tribe is ready to start a war, but there is still a target to choose, there are many tribes around the Aoki tribe, the wolf tribe that has been destroyed, the rat tribe in the west, and the black bear tribe in the south, the three of them are the closest tribe to the Aoki tribe, and they are less than a day away.
In terms of strength, the Aoki tribe is the strongest, the rat tribe is second, the wolf tribe is third, and the black bear tribe is the worst.
The wolf tribe has been destroyed, under normal circumstances, the leader of Aoki will choose the rat tribe that is a little stronger than the wolf tribe, but the leader of Aoki knows that the black bear tribe and the green snake tribe with the worst strength are an alliance relationship, once the two tribes are attacked, they will support each other, the combination of the black bear tribe and the green snake tribe, the strength is stronger than the wolf tribe.
However, with the current situation of the Aoki tribe, the leader of Aoki directly took the weakest black bear tribe as the next target of the Aoki tribe.
The leader of Aoki knew that the Black Bear Tribe's residence and the Green Snake Tribe's residence were not together, once one tribe was attacked, the other tribe would need a certain amount of time to come back, and it was more likely that the attacked tribe would fight and retreat to the other tribe, and the two tribes would join forces and fight back.
Now that the Aoki tribe is equipped with more than a hundred bronze weapons, it has absolute strength, and the leader of Aoki is sure that it will not take long to defeat the black bear tribe after attacking the black bear tribe, and will not give the black bear tribe a chance to fight and retreat, and when the time comes, the green snake tribe and the remaining black bear tribe may not dare to fight back.
In addition, the Black Bear Tribe is weaker than the Rat Tribe, and the Aoki Tribe will have less losses when attacking the Black Bear Tribe.
Combining these two reasons, the Aoki tribe gave up the rat tribe and chose the black bear tribe with an alliance.
The target of the battle has been chosen, and people will be sent to investigate the situation of the Black Bear Tribe, and the leader of Aoki directly asked Feng to lead a team of fast-legged clansmen to investigate.
Before the Aoki tribe conquered the wolf tribe, it had sent people to investigate the situation of the wolf tribe, if you don't know the situation of the wolf tribe and attack it directly, maybe something unexpected will happen, and it is better to find out the situation of the black bear tribe before attacking the black bear tribe.
In just ten days, major changes have taken place within the Aoki tribe, from refusing to fighting to fighting the main battle, and now they are actively preparing for war, and a team of men has gone to the Black Bear tribe's place of residence to reconnoiter the situation.
The Aoki tribe is preparing for war with the Black Bear Tribe, and the dragon tribe fleet has been away from the Aoki tribe for ten days, and in ten days, the fleet has traded with a total of three tribes.
Two of them were the tribes with which the Dragons had a small trade when they first conducted trade, the Horned Deer and the Big-eared Monkey, both of which were located on the south bank of the Yellow River.
During the first transaction, both tribes only traded single-digit copper weapons, and it took more than a month for the two tribes to understand that copper weapons were better than their tribe's stone weapons, so they thought about making a second trade with the dragon tribe.
The second deal was much larger than the first, and the Ministry of Commerce demonstrated the durability of the Dragon Tribe's vine shield to the two tribes, but in the end, the two tribes chose only copper weapons.
The Horned Deer tribe exchanged 240 animal skins for six copper spears and six copper axes, the big-eared monkey tribe exchanged 300 animal skins for seven copper spears and eight copper axes, and the Dragon tribe gave the two tribes a rattan armor, a rattan shield, a small bag of pepper powder, and a small bag of white salt.
The third person to trade with the Dragon Tribe's fleet was a tribe on the north bank of the Yellow River called the Leopard Tribe.
There are many tribes on the north bank of the Yellow River that the Dragon Tribe has come into contact with, and they either join the Dragon Tribe or are wiped out by the Dragon Tribe, but none of these tribes has a population of more than 500, and the tribes with a population of more than 300 are very few.
As for the population of the leopard tribe, Luyuan estimates the number of leopard tribesmen gathered on the riverbank, and feels that the population of the leopard tribe is about 1,000 people.
You must know that the leopard tribe is a tribe on the north bank of the Yellow River, and often the tribes on the north bank of the Yellow River are more brave and good at fighting than the tribes on the south bank of the Yellow River.
If the leopard tribe with a population of about 1,000 people comes to the south bank of the Yellow River, how much wind and waves will be set off, I am afraid that the tribe with a population of less than 1,500 on the south bank of the Yellow River will not be the opponent of the leopard tribe.
Lu Yuan didn't see the leopard tribe equipped with bows and arrows, the vine shield rattan armor was equipped, and the long-range attack weapon was only a spear, as long as the two sides were closer, the spear thrower of the leopard tribe was a big killer, and the enemy's rattan shield and rattan armor might not be able to resist.
The fleet of the dragon tribe made contact with the leopard tribe for the first time, but fortunately, the tribesmen of the leopard tribe were not reckless and did not directly attack the fleet, and the two tribes were able to trade.
The bronze weapons taken out by the dragon tribe deeply attracted the attention of the warriors of the leopard tribe, and they had to compare and throw them, and the stone weapons of the leopard tribe were nothing in front of the bronze weapons of the dragon tribe.
The leader of the leopard had already obtained a bronze sword, and the other warriors looked directly at the bronze spears and axes brought by the merchant personnel, as if they had seen a peerless beauty.
"Chief, I want the weapon." "Chief, I want it too." "And me. ”
The longing words of the surrounding clansmen reached the ears of the leopard leader.
"Okay, okay, let's exchange with them." Not only is it the desire of the clansmen, but the leopard leader himself understands that copper weapons are good, and it is better to exchange them for some copper weapons.
In the end, the leopard tribe exchanged a total of twenty copper weapons, half of the copper spear and half of the copper axe, most of which were exchanged for animal skins, and a small part of them were exchanged for grain grown by the leopard tribe.
It is a shelled grain, many times larger than millet, and it seems that the people of the leopard tribe do not like this grain very much.
The king had ordered that Lu Yuan be allowed to exchange crops from other tribes that the dragon tribe did not have, and once the crops had an effect on the dragon tribe, those who participated would be rewarded according to the merit of the merit.
After sending out a rattan armor, a rattan shield, a small bag of peppercorn powder, a small bag of white salt, and a white flag, the fleet set sail, this time the fleet had to stay outside for about a month, and sail for a few more days before returning.
