Chapter 144: Arrival
Looking at the people who had already gathered, Wang Lang took a deep breath and said loudly: "The smoke of the beacon tower is lit!" ”
As soon as the words ended, the crowd suddenly became noisy, the soldiers were the most excited, but the eyes of the women and the old people were full of worry, and the smoke rose to mean that the peaceful life would be gone forever.
"Quiet!" Lin Huo roared loudly.
After seeing that everyone was quiet, Wang Lang continued: "We set off after lunch, after training for so long, it's time to test your training results, I now ask you if you're afraid!" ”
"Don't be afraid!" The men clung to their necks and shouted loudly.
Wang Lang nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Okay, I admire your courage, now the women and the old man are ready to cook, and the soldiers are going back to prepare, we have to let them come and go, and now they are all disbanded." ”
After the crowd dispersed, the tribe immediately became busy, the women hurriedly prepared food for the soldiers who were about to go out, and the men who had wives said goodbye to each other before leaving, this time the battle, no one could know if they could come back alive, even if they were afraid to die, at this time, they could only grit their teeth and pretend to be brave.
The meal was eaten in a hurry, the soldiers assembled outside the tribe with prepared rations and weapons, and Kong Er took the cavalry as scouts to leave first.
When the spearmen and archers had assembled, they mounted their prepared rafts and rowed upstream.
"I don't know if I can hold on to the river, I hope that guy with Jianya can hold on a little longer!" Bark said worriedly.
"Don't worry, as long as they don't take the initiative to go out to fight, they will be fine with the defense of the earthen wall." Wang Lang said calmly.
"I don't know how many men they sent to attack us." Lin Huo said.
"They have not moved for so long, and the number of them this time will definitely not be less, we have to be prepared mentally, this battle will be very difficult." Wang Lang said.
Several people nodded, and the atmosphere fell silent for a while, and rows of bamboo rafts floated quietly on the water.
At dusk, the team rushed to the first beacon tower, but Wang Lang did not stop the procession, and continued to advance towards the north by moonlight.
Near midnight, when the team arrived at the second beacon tower, Wang Lang asked people to go ashore to trim, after a simple meal of food, the tired soldiers quickly fell asleep, after a night of repair, dawn, the sun had just risen, the team regrouped, the soldiers simply ate some jerky with them, hurriedly sat on the raft, and continued to move towards the goal.
As they got closer to their destination, the atmosphere in the team became more and more tense, everyone knew what they were about to face, and no one could be sure if they would survive this time.
Soon after the team left the second beacon tower, Kong Er and his cavalry quickly ran along the shore towards the team.
After seeing the raft floating on the river, Kong Er shouted loudly, "Chief! ”
Wang Lang hurriedly asked people to dock the raft, hurriedly greeted it and asked, "What's the situation over there?" ”
Kong Er wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a deep voice: "The situation is not good, there are already those people who have surrounded them, there are many of them, I roughly estimated, there are almost three hundred people." ”
"What? So many people! Lin Huo exclaimed, hurriedly looked at Wang Lang and asked, "Lang, what should we do?" ”
Wang Lang was silent for a while, and exhaled lightly, this news far exceeded his expectations in his heart, he originally thought that the other party could send two hundred people was already the limit, but he didn't expect the enemy to come so many at once, which suddenly caught him a little off guard.
After calming down for a while, Wang Lang pretended to be calm and said, "Don't panic. After speaking, he looked at Kong Er and said, "Has the wall over there been breached?" ”
Kong Er shook his head and said, "Not yet, but the corn outside the tribe has been seriously damaged, even if they can be defeated, it is estimated that there will not be much grain to be harvested this season." ”
Wang Lang nodded and said, "As long as the tribe is still there, and the grain is still being produced, now you go back and continue to observe, we will be there in half a day, you don't have contact with them, and we will make a decision when we arrive." ”
Kong Er nodded, didn't care about resting, beckoned his subordinates, and ran towards the north like the wind.
Back on the raft, Wang Lang ordered everyone to speed up, and he stood in front of him, looking at the north and frowning.
"Lang, can we defeat them?" Lin Huo asked worriedly.
Wang Lang turned his head and stared at Lin Huo sharply, and said solemnly: "We can only win this battle, we have no way out, if we win, this land is ours, if we lose, we will chase and die here!" ”
When Wang Lang heard this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, fighting against enemies who were several times more than his side, and they basically didn't have the slightest confidence.
"You must be determined to die, behind you are your people, your wives and children are waiting for your protection, you must show your courage, and do not forget that your training during this time is not in vain." Wang Lang roared.
Lin Huo gritted his teeth when he heard this, and said, "Don't worry, Lang, even if I die, I will drive them out." ”
Wang Lang nodded, then remained silent, sat on the raft and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Half a day later, the team saw the wall of Linhe Village from a distance, and for safety reasons, Wang Lang ordered all the personnel to go ashore when they were still some distance from the village.
After the whole team was finished, they led everyone in the direction of the village.
The strong teeth on the city wall looked at the dense enemy outside the wall, he didn't know how long he could hold on, he had repelled several of their attacks, both sides were killed and wounded by each other, three warriors on his side were killed on the spot by the enemy's flying axe, and there were as many as four injured, although his side also killed more than 20 people on the other side, but the number of enemies was too much, and he didn't know if he could hold it if he could hold it after a few more attacks.
"How long will it take for the chief to arrive?" Solid Tooth asked.
"The smoke has already been lit, and if you see it from the beacon tower, you must be able to arrive tomorrow at the latest." Dark clouds said.
"Is there another day, I don't know if we can hold out until tomorrow, the eastern wall is almost untenable, if we let them in, we can't hold it." Gritted his teeth and said.
"We must hold out until the leader arrives, or we will all die here." Wuyun said solemnly.
At this time, the soldiers on the lookout suddenly shouted excitedly: "South, chief, chief, they are coming." ”
Hearing this, Jianya hurriedly looked south, and sure enough, he saw a faint figure on the horizon in the distance moving towards this side.
"Okay, I'm going to cut off all of these people's heads this time." Jianya's excited body trembled a little.
In the scattered procession outside the fence, an old man with bright feathers in his hair squinted at his men's reports.
"Is there another enemy in the South?" The old man asked with a frown.
"Elder, there are quite a few people over there, and it won't be long before we get here." The soldier knelt on the ground and replied respectfully.
"Father, what should we do, we have been attacking for two days and have not wiped out this strange tribe, and now the enemy's reinforcements have arrived, and we are in danger." A strong man beside the old man said worriedly.
"Don't be afraid, our Fire Tribe has not yet failed in this grassland, these people dare to offend us, they must be ready to bear our wrath, and now let the warriors meet the enemy." The old man's shriveled hand slammed his cane on the ground.
"Understood, father." The strong man nodded, looked at Nanfang and licked his lips, his eyes showing a bloodthirsty light.
Next month, two shifts a day will be normal, mixed with the scumbag author of full attendance.
