Chapter 230: The Theory of Strange Beasts
The natives of the Fengsi tribe were escorted back to Wanghai City.
Zhang Cheng rode a horse and walked at the forefront of the escort tribe, his face solemn, oblivious to the cheers of the roadside on both sides.
After entering the city, Zhang Cheng handed over these natives with the sergeants, he had just taken a few sergeants to gallop towards the city lord's mansion on horseback, he was the commander of the attack on the Fengsi tribe, so he had to enter the city lord's mansion to report to Lin Bei.
When he arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion, the sergeant standing guard arched his hand to Zhang Cheng with a smile: "Master Qianfu, my lord, you go in directly, and you don't need to be informed." ”
Zhang Cheng dismounted: "Thank you to the two brothers." ”
Lin Bei was already waiting in the hall, and Bian Ji was also there, Bian Ji saw Zhang Cheng, beckoned, and signaled to come in: "Great hero, come in." ”
Zhang Cheng's face was not strict, he trotted into the hall and knelt down: "Meet the lord, meet the master." ”
Lin Bei hurriedly asked him to get up, and asked the sergeant to bring wine and food, and gave Zhang Cheng and the sergeant outside the door: "You did a good job." Lin Bei's first sentence was praise.
"Lord Xie, it's a matter of subordination."
Zhang Cheng's personality belongs to the calm type, don't look at him to fight several times, but when he fights, he will not be greedy for merit, he thinks very thoroughly, after receiving Lin Bei's military order, Zhang Cheng took into account that the Fengsi tribe gathered a lot of sharp trees in the upper reaches of the Mekong River, and sent some people to guard the river, and the strategy of sneak attack while it was dark was no longer suitable, so he simply relied on the speed of the steamship and attacked in broad daylight, and the scouts of the Fengsi tribe actually saw Zhang Cheng's army, but when they reflected and asked the leader of the Fengsi tribe to release the sharp wood, The soldiers of Wanghai City had already rushed ashore, and then the same archers attacked from a distance, killing the remnants of the natives in close combat, because it was daytime, so only more than 500 people were killed before the natives were demoralized. Surrender directly.
And Zhang Cheng was quite decisive, because there were a lot of aborigines captured, twice the number of sergeants, so Zhang Cheng directly executed all the leaders and cronies of the Fengsi tribe who surrendered, so that even if the natives of the Fengsi tribe wanted to make trouble, they probably couldn't make trouble.
After listening to Zhang Cheng's report. Lin Bei and Bian Ji both nodded, this Zhang Cheng is also a talent, no wonder he can stand out among the crowd and become a thousand-commander, and he also admires Xu Shu's vision, because this Zhang Cheng was recommended by Xu Shu.
Subsequently, Zhang Cheng told Lin Bei about a strange thing, and it was precisely because of this incident that the death toll of the sergeant increased to nine.
"Your Excellency. I saw the strange beasts of the Wind Tribe. Zhang Chengyan said: "Now that I have brought back the corpse of that strange beast, I hope that the Lord and the Master will take a look." ”
The sergeant outside the door carried the wooden frame up at this time, and Zhang Cheng stepped forward and lifted the linen cloth covering the wooden frame.
Lin Bei and Bian Ji saw that this was a python, but this python surprised Lin Bei a little.
This python has a red body, and judging by its size, it is probably nearly ten meters long. Generally speaking, a python of this length is as thick as a human waist. But this python is almost half a meter thick, and the python's body is surrounded by a circle of iron sheets, and there are many barbs on the iron sheets, just like the barbs on the mace, which looks hideous and extremely lethal.
Zhang Cheng stepped forward and pulled the python head hard. The python opened its head widely: "My lord, please look, it still has very sharp teeth in its mouth." ”
The python's mouth is really full of sharp teeth, almost all of them are two or three centimeters long, hooked backwards, and there are some blood stains on the teeth.
"This is a strange beast of the Wind Tribe?" Bian Ji asked in surprise.
"Yes, Master. We were about to enter the place where the leader of the Winds tribe lived, when we heard a sharp whistling, and the strange beast rushed out of a room, and the arrows were almost impenetrable. Zhang Cheng pointed to the python's body, and Lin Bei and Bian Ji could see that there were indeed some small arrow wounds on the python's body that were not covered with iron sheets, which were not deep at all.
"Then our infantry and spearmen surrounded the strange beast, and this beast was very fierce, rolling and biting, killing six sergeants, and biting one to death, and finally was poked to death by a spear." Zhang Cheng remembered that battle, and there was still some palpitations on his face.
If it weren't for the fact that the leader of Wanghai City was Lin Bei, who had a high degree of resistance to this kind of long worm and the like, and suddenly encountered such a fierce beast, the soldiers of Wanghai City might not have died.
"This strange beast only killed seven of my sergeants?" Lin Bei asked a little strangely, it is said that the python has iron skin and spikes on its body, and its combat effectiveness should be doubled.
"I don't know why, this strange beast was extremely fierce at first, and it was able to dodge my sergeant's spear with rolling, and then it seemed to go crazy, only to bite, and now my subordinates think about it, and I think it's a little strange, but this strange beast is the leader of the Fengsi tribe, and it has been killed by his subordinates."
Lin Bei groaned and said: "Immediately send someone to interrogate those natives, and let them tell all the things they know about the strange beasts, such as what kind of food they feed the strange beasts every day, whether the natives have seen strange beasts fight before, etc., all ask them one by one." ”
The sergeant hurried to go.
"What did you think?" Bian Ji asked.
"I just think that the combat power of this strange beast is not only like this, and the strange beast of the Haka tribe is also a long worm, so I am a little vigilant."
This red python was obviously domesticated, according to Zhang Cheng, this red python began to fight when it was out of the python's instinctive hunting method, only later after going crazy began to use devouring to kill, this instinct is simply a weakness for the sergeant, so it will be killed by the sergeant quickly, if you don't go crazy, just keep rolling, the casualties to the sergeant will be at least dozens of times more than now.
So obviously, these natives should have mastered some kind of method that can command the python, so that the python can kill people according to people's orders, which is very terrifying, only instinctive snakes can strangle at most one person at a time, but snakes that obey human orders and abandon instinct can kill dozens of people at a time, if the Haka tribe is the same, maybe only Lin Bei will personally take action.
"Although the level of science and technology of these natives is very low, they are very powerful in other aspects, and almost no Han people can domesticate strange beasts like this, but they are mastered by these natives." Lin Bei secretly said.
Then he asked Bian Ji: "Master, do you know what barbarians in the Han Realm can tame beasts?" ”
Bian Ji thought for a while and said: "My lord, this kind of beast taming technique has always been mysterious, it is said that the Baiyue people will tame some snakes and insects, and usually snakes and insects will hide on their bodies. If the master commanded it, the snakes and insects would come out and bite people to death, and some of the Huns in the cool land were said to be good at domesticating war eagles, which were so large that they could catch sheep running on the ground. The barbarians in the land of North Vietnam will also domesticate some beasts, and one of them also knows that the Kashgar people of Ali are good at taming proboscis beasts, oh yes, there are also poisonous people, and it is rumored that these people will also tame snakes and insects to protect themselves, but I don't know whether it is true or false, my lord, or call Ah Li. Ah Li should know a lot. ”
"Okay, let's call Ah Li."
Ah Li was soon called to the City Lord's Mansion, and after seeing Lin Bei, Ah Li lay on the ground, crawled to Lin Bei's side, and worshiped with the greatest courtesy.
Ah Li didn't know Bian Jiduo yet. However, even if the Kashgar people are good at taming proboscis beasts. Not everyone has this ability, Ah Li is also very proud to say that he is the second in the clan in the ability to tame the proboscis beast, and now he should be the first, because even the Kashgar tribe does not have a few proboscis beasts that can tame those people.
Lin Bei let this fanatical Ah Li leave, just as the sergeant's interrogation of the Fengsi tribe had already finished. Brought back the news that Lin Bei needed.
"Feeding with the juice of the gods?" Lin Bei was very surprised, he actually used poppy juice to feed strange beasts?
"The natives say so, and it is said that this strange beast is very difficult to tame, and one native said that he had seen a strange beast ten years ago. It should be it too. ”
"In other words, within ten years, the Fengsi tribe will only be this strange beast?"
"Yes."
Lin Bei breathed a sigh of relief, this was good news, although he didn't know how the natives made the strange beasts obey orders, but it didn't matter, he was not afraid if the number was small.
"And what about the haka of the haka?"
The sergeant hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Nahaka tribe is said to have been there for two hundred years. ”
Lin Bei took a breath: "Doesn't that mean that the strange beast Haka has lived for more than two hundred years?" ”
The sergeant didn't know what to say.
When the sergeant went down, Lin Bei and Bian Ji looked at each other, and for a long time, Bian Ji smiled and said: "Don't worry, adults don't have to worry, like this kind of tribe, the name will not change, but the strange beast will definitely not live for two hundred years, it must have been passed down from generation to generation, but the name is the same." ”
Lin Bei smiled bitterly: "I hope so, otherwise a Haka who has lived for two hundred years will be a bit big to think about." ”
It's no joke that a snake can live for two hundred years, even a pig can become an eight-precept if it lives for two hundred years, and now Lin Bei is deeply afraid of that haka.
"In addition, it is really strange that the Fengsi tribe actually uses poppy juice to feed strange beasts." Lin Bei thought about the restlessness of seeing the poppie in his body that day, and Lin Bei had reason to believe that the poppy should have a strange effect on some beasts.
"Do you really want to try it?" Lin Beixin said, but then shook his head, this kind of curiosity is unacceptable.
"Master, inform the sergeants to hear more about the Haka tribe, especially the strange beast Haka, when the time comes, I will personally go to the Haka tribe and meet this Haka beast for a while."
"No."
So after defeating the Fengsi tribe, Lin Bei temporarily stopped the expedition, but set up a camp in the Fengsi tribe to investigate the news of the Haka tribe from afar, and even the iron mine near the Fengsi tribe was temporarily unable to be mined.
On the fifth day of the occupation of the Fengsi tribe, a bad news came from Linjiang City, all the 200 soldiers stationed in the Fengsi camp died, and then, the sentinel sent out to inquire about the news of the Haka tribe was missing, including 67 people.
This was the largest number of deaths of soldiers in Wanghai City so far, and Lin Bei was immediately furious and went to Linjiang City in person. (To be continued......)
