Chapter 392: The Situation Suddenly Changes
The three natives waited in fear for more than an hour before being escorted over again by the outsiders.
Wei Ming told them the result of the discussion, and when he learned that he could return alive, the three natives were overjoyed, and after leaving the camp under the escort of the sailors, they ran towards the mountain and disappeared into the dark jungle in a blink of an eye.
The tribe of the De'ang people, the red fox was completely sleepy at the moment, sitting on the ground and looking at the darkness in the distance from time to time, but there was nothing to see but darkness.
"Chief, they've been gone for a long time, will something happen." The Ground Rat worried.
"Wait, if they don't come back tonight, it will be a long time to prove that those outsiders have no intention of consulting us at all, and then we must deal with them with the De'ang." The red fox said with a gloomy face.
The earth rat said with a solemn face, "Can we win?" ”
The red fox shook his head and said: "There is very little hope, if it really doesn't work, you must stay alive and leave here far away with your clansmen, as long as the people are still there, we Dadahar people will not perish." ”
"Chief, what about you, what are you going to do when we leave?" The earth rat was startled and hurriedly asked.
Red Fox smiled and said, "I'm not a warrior, even if I survive in this situation, it's useless, if I escape, it will disgrace our totem spirit." ”
When the two of them considered the worst-case scenario, there was a slight salsa sound in the darkness in the distance, and three embarrassed figures quickly sneaked towards this side.
Seeing the three blurred figures, the earth rat and the red fox glanced at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes.
"I'm going to bring them here." The earth rat said excitedly.
Perhaps because of the reason for being in the upper position, the red fox looked very calm at the moment, and just nodded slightly.
After the three were brought over, Red Fox asked, "What do they say?" ”
"Chief, they granted our request." One replied.
Red Fox smiled and continued to ask, "Then do they have any requirements?" ”
"They made us submit to them, and they also said that those at the foot of the mountain were only a small part of their tribe, and that there were countless people in their tribe, and that the warriors were as many as stars in the sky."
As soon as these words came out, the red fox and the earth rat were extremely shocked, so many people under the mountain actually accounted for only a small part of those outsiders tribes, and their first reaction was impossible.
According to their experience, it is not easy for the tribe to maintain their current size, watching the hunting and gathering cannot do enough to feed everyone, only the bravest warriors and hunting beasts can fill their stomachs, think about how the tribe with as many stars survived.
Although this question bothered them, even if Red Fox didn't want to believe it, reason told her that it was probably true.
If this is the case, then these outsiders are really terrifying, and such a powerful tribe is not necessarily their opponent even if it unites all the tribes in this land.
"Chief, do we really want to submit to them?" The earth rat said in a deep voice.
The red fox was silent for a while, and said, "Surrender, they have come to this land, if we choose to fight, then we Dadahar people can only perish." ”
Although the earth rat was unwilling in his heart, he could only nod helplessly.
"What about the De'ang?" The Ground Rat asked.
"Tomorrow we'll get out of here, return to our tribe, and find a chance to meet those outsiders for the last time." Red Fox said slowly.
"I see, I'll give it to my people."
Red Fox nodded.
In the house of the old wizard of the De'ang people, the bravest warriors of the tribe are gathered at this moment.
"Wizard, even if we die, we will not leave our land, we can still hold weapons, we can still fight." The young man said excitedly.
"Yes, the rabbit on the stone is right, we can still fight, we are going to kill all those outsiders."
The warriors shouted.
The old wizard seemed to be much older at this moment, and said with a tired face: "My children, you are the last hope of the De'ang people, your death will be cut off in this world, go, take the people away from here, the devil will hunt you down, but you remember, only by living can you regain our land again." ”
The young man glared angrily, stood up from the ground, and said: "Go, where can we go, our De'ang people have survived in this land for countless years, relying on the protection of the totem spirit to get to today, wizard, we will not go, the warriors will go tomorrow and those holy water, even if I die, I will protect the glory of the De'ang people." ”
The old wizard shook his head and said, "You should know very well what will happen if you drink the holy water, the holy water will bring strength to the warriors and bring them to death at the same time. ”
The young man looked at the old wizard solemnly and said, "We are not afraid of death, and even if we die, we will go to heaven with glory." ”
The old wizard sighed and said, "Is the bloodline of the De'ang people really coming to an end?" ”
In the early morning, smoke wafted from the camp at the foot of the mountain, and the smell of food permeated the great plain.
The surrounding beasts looked over from time to time, but none of them dared to get too close, just wandering around.
Zhao Tong has assembled a team of 100 fully armed men, and today he will represent the expedition to negotiate with that tribe.
He Tie's previous approach, he felt that it was inappropriate, any bloody tribe could not accept such a humiliating threat, this time he planned to adopt a gentle method to recruit these natives.
In his heart, he was against raising a butcher's knife to kill them.
The murderous army, led by Zhao Tong, went straight to the tribe of the De'ang people, and the birds and beasts fled one after another.
On the side of the De'ang, when they woke up, they found that the nearby Dadahar had long since disappeared, and when the young man heard the news, he angrily scolded these treacherous people.
Although the two are feuding, but at this time of life and death, the Dadahar people actually ran away by themselves regardless of the overall situation, the enemy is so strong, and now only their own tribe is alone to fight against these foreign devils, and the feeling of despair and helplessness instantly comes to my heart.
The young man almost gritted his teeth and shouted, "Warriors of the De'ang people, go to the holy mountain and welcome the holy water, and we will fight those devils to the death." ”
The young people in the tribe were close to the old wizard, and the panicked De'ang people seemed to have found the backbone at this moment, and both men and women, old and weak, followed behind and went to the holy mountain in their hearts.
The so-called holy mountain is a small hill near the De'ang tribe.
Although the hill is not high, the road is very rugged and full of craggy rocks.
And there is a miraculous spring halfway up the mountainside, which has been spread among the surrounding tribes since then, and as long as you drink the spring water of the holy mountain, you can make people infinitely powerful, and can make the most cowardly people become extremely brave warriors.
However, it is also rumored that although the holy water can make people strong, this strength is only temporary, and those who have drunk the holy water will bear a great burden on their bodies, and after the effect of the holy water is over, those who cannot survive will suffer extremely painful torture, which is said to be a punishment for the abuse of divine power by the totemic spirit.
The young man looked at the crystal clear waterhole with a solemn expression.
Under the gaze of everyone, the young man slowly squatted down, touched the spring water with both hands, closed his eyes and drank the water in one gulp.
After a long time, the young man slowly opened his eyes and felt the changes in his body, but there was no special change in him.
Just when he felt puzzled, he suddenly felt his heart tighten, his heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and the blood in his whole body seemed to be boiling, and at this moment he felt that there was inexhaustible strength in his body.
Yang Tian roared, "De'ang, this is the power given to us by the spirit of the totem, and the De'ang people will kill those outsiders with me. ”
The rest of the tribesmen excitedly shouted the young man's name and rushed forward one after another, lying on the edge of the waterhole and drinking bitterly from the spring.
These natives, who had gained "divine power", shouted excitedly, their eyes were full of bloodthirsty light, and they roared and rushed down the mountain, running as fast as a tiger descending a mountain.
When Zhao Tong was about to arrive at the tribe of the De'ang people with heavily armed soldiers, he suddenly heard a chaotic sound of footsteps coming towards him, and his face suddenly changed greatly.
"Array, array!"
The sailors, too, were frightened by this sound, and quickly lined up, and the spearmen formed a phalanx like hedgehogs, quietly waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
In a burst of frantic shouts, the figure of the De'ang people appeared on the hillside, densely packed all over the mountains, including men and women, Zhao Tong even saw the figure of a child in this chaotic crowd.
"Damn, are they looking for death when they write death?" Zhao Tong scolded in a low voice.
"First mate, what should we do?" The sailor asked.
"The archers warn them to shoot if they come within a hundred paces."
Zhao Tong said gloomily.
The enemy's large-scale attack, looking at the situation is completely about to fight his own side, he doesn't know what kind of nerves this group of savages has, in his opinion, this is completely unreasonable.
When the De'ang approached a hundred paces of the phalanx, the archers missed their arrows.
But the arrow stuck in the ground only made the group of red-eyed De'ang people pause slightly.
And the strong native at the front, who didn't know what to shout, this group of natives was as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and rushed towards the phalanx with a whimper.
"Since you want death so much, I will fulfill you." Zhao Tong finished speaking coldly and ordered: "Archers come forward!" ”
In a burst of neat footsteps, more than twenty bows and arrows slowly stepped forward, ready to attack.
Zhao Tong always kept an eye on the enemy's distance, and when the enemy rushed to the range of the archers, he shouted: "Shoot the arrows!" ”
"Whoosh!"
A rain of arrows rained down from the sky, and these natives, who were tightly clad in animal skins, were either wounded and killed under the attack of bows and arrows.
But those natives who were not shot at the critical point, as if they didn't know the pain, didn't care about the arrows stuck in their bodies, and still charged forward fearlessly.
Such a strange situation made the sailors' eyes almost pop out, in their impressions they had never seen it at all, they were hit by an arrow, and they could still maintain their combat effectiveness like no one else, and the unreasonable scene made them feel frightened.
"Great... First mate, are they still human? A spearman asked, trembling.
The corners of Zhao Tong's mouth twitched, he was also frightened by this scene, under normal circumstances, like this kind of unorganized savage, a few rounds of arrow rain can make them completely collapse, this kind of fierce charge is the first time he has seen it, he immediately realized in his heart that he has fallen into danger.
"Don't panic, listen to my command, if there are people who escape without permission, they will not be spared."
Zhao Tong yelled.
"The archers continue to release their arrows, and the sword and shield men prepare to drop their bombs!"
The expedition was not a regular army, there were no specialized grenadiers, and each man had a few grenades stuck in his waist.
After shooting three rounds of arrows, the archer quickly retreated, the sword and shield hand, put the shield on his arm, looked at the enemy who was only more than 20 steps away from him, panicked and ignited the grenade, hurriedly threw it out, regardless of the effect of the explosion, quickly drew his waist knife and prepared to retreat into the spear array, ready to engage the enemy in a short encounter.
The rumbling explosion blew the flesh and blood of the hapless natives into the air, leaving behind a large number of corpses and wailing natives in pain from the hillside to the front of the phalanx.
It's just that the tragic situation of the companions did not affect the rest of the people at all, these people can be said to have lost their minds and pain, and they fought with the enemy completely by instinct, and at this moment they were beasts in human form.
"Boom!"
The charge of the savages crashed against the rocks like a tidal wave, and it could not shake the reef except for the countless splashes.
The sharp spears easily pierced their fragile bodies, but the painless ones dragged their pierced bodies and struggled to pounce forward.
The soldiers were so frightened by this terrible sight that their trembling hands even forgot to withdraw their spears.
Seeing this, Zhao Tong was in a hurry, and roared angrily: "The sword and shield hand stepped forward to cover. ”
More than a dozen sword and shield men tumbled out of the phalanx, slashing off the calves of those terrible enemies with a single "slash" against the ground.
The natives, whose calves had been severed, lost their balance and tilted uncontrollably to the side.
And the spearmen in the first row, taking advantage of this brief opportunity, kicked the enemy and pulled out the spear.
These crazy enemies poured in from all directions, and the corpses that kept falling down did not make them retreat half a minute at all, and the silver armor was already red with blood at this moment.
No one knows when this sudden battle will be over.
