Chapter 134: Combat Readiness Escalation
For Stone Horn, the River Tribe's ally has a lot of new things and strange behavior. www.biquge.info In order to make the prisoners of war obedient, they actually thought of a way to make them carry stones. Seeing those men, women, and children carrying heavy stones on their backs and not throwing them away, and picking up some from time to time and putting them in their baskets, Shi Jiao felt tired.
After winning a battle, the childish nature of that Elder Chuan was also exposed. From time to time, he called a few people to rush into the forest, took those little wolf dogs and baby elephants, and chased the wild beasts in the forest to the wolves before the people in front of him could hunt them down. Now that the weather is getting warmer day by day, he also chased a big bear that had just woken up from hibernation and almost rushed into the team. The big bear who woke up from hibernation was hungry and thirsty, and he didn't have any reason at all, so five or six people joined forces to kill it. If it weren't for a master like Bihu, maybe a few people would be injured.
After walking like this for two days, it was only noon on the same day, and it was customary for the people of the River tribe to stop to rest, and the spearhead soldiers who had dispersed in front brought three people from the River tribe. At this time, everyone had no intention of resting, lest the tribe had been attacked by the Fish-Man Clan.
"The Horde has been attacked!" The words of the people who came were not shocking and endless, but he still had eyes, and immediately added: "The tribe has not been captured, and my mother is fine." ”
Wang Chuan and the others put their minds at ease and asked, "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”
The people slowed down before telling the story of the matter: "...... Later, Lambra led the people to guard the gap in the fence, and everyone chased and killed those people in the fence...... More than 30 of them were killed, more than a dozen were taken prisoner, and some of them escaped by climbing over the fence without fear of death. Wolf Ting chased the little wolf for a long time and killed three or four. There were also a few people who didn't know where they had fled, so they didn't chase ......."
Wang Chuan asked, "What about the casualties?" ”
"Eight died, all of them died while chasing them out. They all said that it was fortunate that there was a wall, otherwise more people would have died. ”
A group of old and weak women and children, repelled fifty or sixty people, and only eight died, which was simply a rare victory. Shi Jiao remembered the kind of wall of the River tribe, and immediately wanted to go back and fence off his tribe. But he was quickly deflated again, looking at the iron tools in the hands of the River tribesmen with envy. Without this kind of thing, you can't cut down a tree in a day with stone tools alone, so how easy is it to fence off the tribe? I don't know if those children will be able to get some of this stuff back when they grow up and come back in ten years.
After Wang Chuan learned that this was caused by the three people who fled from the He tribe, he couldn't help but sigh a little that the world was impermanent. They all thought that they had fled to the edge of the Taijiang River, but who would have thought that they would get into that kind of small tribe and unite the two small tribes? Fortunately, there are not many of them this time, and if there are more people, maybe they can really break the tribe.
Shi Jiao said: "It seems that Elder Chuan still has to listen to me, and he wants to go around those two tribes." ”
Wang Chuan said: "It seems that this is exactly the case." I also want to leave some neighbors behind so that I can take care of them later. It's important to clean the door first. "Being kind to one's neighbor or something, that's what one's neighbor says when he can't bully himself. If your neighbor is stronger than you, or is not reasonable at all, then it is better to make yourself stronger or make your neighbor reasonable. Now that this tribe united by Lan and Gu has been bullied, it is better to bring their descendants and those who are willing to learn home to teach them slowly.
It's not too far from those two tribes, and if you change the route, you can get there in a day. Wang Chuan decisively ordered the division of troops to be diverted. Half of the people were left to go back along the river with the captives, and the other half were rerouted and wiped out this small tribe, which was estimated to have no more people.
This time, the bark took people back to the tribe, rode a deer and walked with Laqiong, and Wang Chuan Bihu went to this Lan tribe. Shi Jiao knew where the location of this tribe was, and he also took half of the people to follow Wang Chuan.
The interrogation revealed that the two united tribes had come to live on the side of the Lan tribe, which facilitated Wang Chuan's actions. The group set out at noon, spent the night in the forest, and reached the Arashi tribe at noon the next day and launched a charge. As a result, there was little resistance.
The crowd rushed into their cave, only to find that there were only a few adults here, and the rest were children. Only three or five people escaped from the River Tribe. They were frightened by the methods of the River tribe, and now they are back in the tribe, and they are unsettled and have long lost their square inches. As for the old man in the tribe, he was killed by the three members of the He tribe when he was annexed. Now is the time for the dragons to be leaderless. If Wang Chuan didn't come, these people were afraid that they would also be buried in the mouth of the beast after the beginning of spring. Now that Wang Chuan is here, he can be regarded as saving their lives.
Wang Chuan asked them to tie them up one by one, regardless of age or age. Then they were interrogated one by one, and those who went to the river tribe were indiscriminately killed on the spot to deter the rest of the captives. Otherwise, these people have never seen the force of the River Tribe, and they will turn around and make a fuss, and it will be difficult to clean up. These people who went to the River tribe and escaped back should be smart and ruthless people, and it is not a small harm for these people to stay among the captives. Simply kill the hearts of the other captives that are easy to subdue.
After some actions, the sky was about to darken, Wang Chuan and the others stayed in the Lan tribe for another night, and only rushed back to the tribe the next day.
Two days later, he returned to the tribe, and the bark returned safely with the people. The situation in front of them was critical, and the tribe did not have time to repay the meritorious deeds, so they hurriedly made other preparations.
There were too many captives, and there was no time to tame them for a while, so I simply let people pick some of them out and kill them in front of these captives. First, to comfort the souls of the dead in battle, and second, to deter these captives again. After that, these captives were locked up and given only a little food every day to prevent them from causing trouble. Be prepared to wait for the war to pass before slowly taming. If there are still people who make trouble, they will also be killed unceremoniously.
After the bark and others came back to repair for a day, they were let out, and went south for five or six days to spy on the situation. If you find that an enemy is coming, you will come back overnight to report it. Although everyone was only walking, the lightly armed spearmen walked much faster than the larger troops. As long as you find it, you can rush back immediately, and maybe you can buy two or three days to prepare.
The rest of the people waited and prepared for a protracted war in the tribe. Some people go down to the river to fish, go out hunting, and even go out to dig tree roots to store food. The rest of the people built a two-meter-high trail inside the wall, built several watchtowers on all sides, and produced bows and arrows.
This time the tribe was besieged, and although it was a big victory, it also reflected a lot of problems. For example, it is not very convenient to use a herringbone ladder as a shooting table. If you build a two-meter-high and one-meter-wide trail behind the wall, it will not only be convenient for shooting and dodging, but also convenient for dealing with people who climb over the wall. And the benefits of watchtowers are even more. By placing two watchtowers near one wall, you can cover the entire wall within the range of the crossbow.
After such a round of siege, now even the stupidest women in the tribe know the benefits of the bow and crossbow, and the exercises that Wang Chuan organized sooner or later, these women are now practicing more actively than the children. Even Ah Mu took out her special crossbow and shot a few arrows from time to time in the cave. As a result, the demand for bows and arrows is much greater.
More than 100 people are against 300, there is no perfect preparation, Wang Chuan feels hanging.
