Chapter 816: The Song People Retreated?

From the ruins of the Black Bear Department, Aguta almost determined that it must be the Song people who attacked them, and later found canned food eaten by the Song people in the mountains and forests, which also proved his guess, and the Song people wanted to come to Changbai Mountain here, they could only come across the sea by boat, so Aguta immediately rushed back to the tribe, gathered most of the troops in the tribe, and then rushed to the seaside, and sure enough, he found the big ship of the Song people.

However, to Aguta's disappointment, the Song people's ships did not dock, but docked in the bay, separated by a sea of hundreds of paces, which was simply a moat for them, not only could they not get close, but they could not even shoot arrows on the boat, and it was impossible to attack those Song people.

Soon the Song people on the ship also discovered the Jurchens on the ship, and many people gathered on the deck to point fingers at the Akuta and others on the shore, and from time to time they let out bursts of laughter, which made Aguta even more annoyed, he could already be sure that it was the Song people on the ship who attacked the black bear before, but unfortunately he could only watch them now.

However, the sea ships of the Great Song Dynasty did not stay in the bay for too long, and seemed to feel that their whereabouts were exposed, so the fleet quickly pulled anchor and set sail, slowly leaving this bay, which made Wu Qi angrily pull out his bow and shoot an arrow towards the sea, but unfortunately flew out more than a hundred steps and fell weakly into the sea.

"Go back, these Song people won't face us head-on." Ah Guda looked at the Song ships in the distance, and an inexplicable cold light flashed in his eyes, although he was sure that it was the Black Bear Department attacked by the Song people, but he still couldn't understand one thing now, that is, did these Song people come against their Wanyan Department, or against the entire Jurchens? Although there is no evidence, Aguta is more inclined to the first guess.

A few days later, another Jurchen tribe was attacked. This time, the other party did not burn the tribe into a white ground like the Black Bear Department, but invaded a tribe purely by robbery, and then robbed all the materials that could be used in the tribe, but for a tribe, they lost most of the food stored for half a year before the winter, which was undoubtedly their death sentence. Because there was no food, they had to freeze and starve to death in the winter.

The Jurchen tribe that was attacked this time was not affiliated with the Wanyan Tribe, and there were even some contradictions between them, which also made Ah Guta a little suspicious of his previous guess, could it be that those Song people really came just to rob property this time? As for the black bear being burned to ashes before, maybe it was just that they wanted to use it to establish their authority.

In the following month, from time to time, there would be Jurchen tribes attacked by the Song people, and these Song people really seemed to come only for their possessions, as long as a tribe gave up their stored supplies and fled, they did not bother to chase after them. However, if someone dares to resist, then they will usher in their extremely brutal massacre, these Song people are well-trained and cruel, and those tribes who are unwilling to give up their materials are often exterminated, and for a time it also makes the various Jurchen tribes talk about the Song Dynasty and change color.

In addition to the Black Bear Tribe, several affiliated tribes of the Wanyan Department were attacked by the Song people, two of them were exterminated, and the other few were discovered after the Song people. Their leader resolutely abandoned the tribe and escaped. For this reason, Aguta not only placed these tribes around the Wanyan Tribe, but also ordered other affiliated tribes that had not been attacked to move over, so as to form a large tribal group, presumably those Song people did not dare to attack at all.

In fact, Aguta's method was indeed very effective, and since he gathered the affiliated tribes together, those Song people really did not dare to come. It's just that some other small tribes are not so lucky, and from time to time there will be small tribes attacked, not only heavy casualties, but also looted supplies, and the rest of the tribes can't pick if they want to escape. Because winter is about to begin, in case of heavy snow during the migration, I am afraid that their entire tribe will be frozen to death on the road, so now these Jurchens can only pray that the snow will come sooner, so that when the road is blocked by snow, they will not have to worry about being attacked by the Song people.

Of course, the Jurchens did not think about counterattacking the Song people, but the fleet of the Great Song Dynasty swam uncertainly on the sea, and they didn't know where they got the information, so they could accurately know the location of each tribe, once they chose the target, they would go ashore overnight to raid each other, not giving the Jurchen tribe time to breathe at all, and every time they were one blow away, so that the Jurchens who wanted to take revenge on them could not find their traces at all, which also made countless Jurchens hate their teeth, but they were helpless to take the Song people.

Maybe even God can't get used to seeing the Song people burning, killing and looting in the coastal areas, the first snow of this year has finally fallen, although the snow is not big, only a finger thick snow has accumulated on the ground, but it also makes the mountain roads wet and slippery, which brings great inconvenience to travel, and with this snow, the temperature has also dropped lower, although the sea water is not easy to freeze, but it is estimated that it will not be long before the sea surface will be frozen, which also makes all the Jurchens breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that the Song people should leave this time.

In fact, it is true that as all the Jurchens hoped, in the half a month after the snowfall, the Song people did not attack any tribe again, many tribes sent people to the sea to investigate, Aguta also sent many people to the seaside, but did not find the previous hateful ships, which made all the Jurchens finally completely relieved and began to actively prepare for the winter.

"Big brother, I'll take people out hunting, just wait for us to return with a load of prey!" Outside the Wanyan Department, Wu Qimai carried a bow and arrows on his back, and said goodbye to Ah Guda with a smile.

Originally, the supplies of Wanyan were sufficient, coupled with the threat of the Song people before, they had not gone out to hunt again, but with the Black Bear Department and other affiliated tribes being attacked by the Song people, the materials in these tribes were also looted, but the rest of these tribes still had to eat, and the food stored by Wanyan alone could not support the next spring, so the leaders of those tribes proposed to Ah Guta one after another, planning to take advantage of the fact that winter had not yet fully arrived, and went out to hunt some prey, but Ah Guta was not at ease with them, So let Wu Qimai organize the people who went out hunting and carry out a large-scale hunt, so that the more people are safer, and at the same time, more prey can be hunted.

"Well, you go early and come back early, and at the same time be careful on the road, I'm still a little worried about those Song people!" At this time, Ah Guta told again that if it wasn't for the lack of food in the tribe, he would definitely not agree to this hunt.

"Big brother, why don't you worry, haven't we already sent someone to investigate, those Song people have already retreated, and the sea is about to be frozen, they must have gone back a long time ago." Wu Qimai was a little unconcerned, the jungle outside the tribe was dripping into ice, and there was a thin layer of snow on the road, he didn't believe that the Song people would go and return in this kind of weather.

"Song Ren may just leave, but I'm still a little unsteady in my heart, you better be careful!" Ah Guda said very seriously at this time, although all kinds of signs indicated that the Song people had left, but he always had a feeling of unease, Wu Qimai took away more than a thousand young people to hunt this time, if they were ambushed, it would definitely be a serious blow to their Wanyan Department.

"I know, big brother, you have to be careful!" Wu Qimai has always been convinced by Ah Guta's words, and when he heard this, he also showed a solemn expression, and then took a bowl of wine handed by Ah Guda and drank it in a big gulp, and then led the people to leave the tribe.

The hunt is not over in a day or two, so after Wu Qimai left, Aguda immediately asked people to guard the gate of the tribe, and at the same time sent a patrol team to patrol outside the tribe non-stop, he told Wu Qimai to be careful, of course he will not relax his vigilance, but they moved from the west, this camp is also built temporarily, and because they only came here for the winter, they didn't have to worry about being attacked by others before, they only need to defend against some hungry beasts, This also makes this camp definitely incomparable to the original in terms of defense, so Aguta can only send more people to patrol as much as possible, and at the same time let some young people be ready to respond at any time.

Wu begged to buy and leave for five days, during which he sent someone back to the tribe to report a letter, saying that they had found a large herd of deer, and had laid an ambush, ready to kill the deer, with these venison, enough for their entire tribe to eat for a month, plus the food in the tribe, it is estimated that it will be no problem to survive next year. For the good news sent by Wu Qimai, Ah Guda was also very happy, but he still did not relax his vigilance, and he had to personally inspect it several times a day to rest assured.

At the end of the second watch that night, Aguta took people to inspect the outside of the tribe as usual, and checked the sentry posts that had been laid out, except for a few guys who were lazy and were whipped a few times by him, there was nothing abnormal, and finally he returned to his tent in the tribe with peace of mind, drank a bowl of broth to warm his body, and then lay down to sleep.

As time passed, Wanyan and the affiliated tribes outside also slowly quieted down, and then the wind suddenly rose outside, although it was not very strong, but when the wind sounded, it made people feel the warmth in the tent even more, which also made most people fall into a sweet dreamland.

If there is no accident, this time it is a calm and peaceful night, but seeing that the fifth watch day is about to pass, this is the darkest period before dawn, before the eastern sky is white, and then ushered in another late autumn morning, which also makes the sentry posts arranged outside by Wanyan relax their vigilance a little, and some people even began to doze off.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw a few feathered arrows flying out of the darkness, and in an instant they shot through the throats of those sentry posts, so that they died before they could even scream! (To be continued......)
