Chapter 184: Conquering Barbarian Three

The sun slowly set down in the trees, sliding down the treetops. Qi Jingtong let out a sigh of relief.

On top of a newly built wooden building. Fresh sap can also seep out of the trees where the wooden buildings are built. This is a wooden building built with no treated wood. If you don't last a few autumn and winter, it will rot.

It has been more than ten days since Qi Jingtong crossed the Yongjiang River and came to the north bank of the Yongjiang River.

In the past ten days, except for some barbarians who did not know whether they were alive or dead to ask for trouble, the rest of the time was calm. It's as if this mountain forest is a terra nullius.

Some of the soldiers were relieved, feeling that this expedition was much easier than training.

Because in the Yongguo military system designed by Zhu Houhuang, daily training, even if it is not as strict as modern military training, is never involved.

And Qi Jingtong is also a veteran. In training, there is only extra training, and there is no meaning of relaxation. For the county soldiers in these counties, this period of time. However, he urged the people to set up camp and open roads and bridges. It's a lot easier than training.

However, Qi Jingtong felt the depression of a mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building from this calm.

"Report." A man came out of the woods, his clothes sparsely scattered by the trees, and he looked like a beggar. There were large patches of black and purple on his body, which were dried bloodstains.

This person Qi Jingtong knew, and he was a close believer who followed Qi Jingtong, and Qi Jing informed that this person was a good hand in martial arts. He is especially good at detecting enemy situations. During this period of time, I have been looking for traces of the potbelly tribe in this area. Looking at him like this, he must have gained something.

"Eighth, how's the situation?" Qi Jingtong asked by bowing slightly forward on the wooden building.

This scout, named Lao Ba, didn't even take a breath, and said, "My lord, the brigade of the Big-bellied tribe is coming." ”

Qi Jingtong's eyebrows were shocked, and his heart was secretly happy. He is not afraid to meet the main force of the potbelly tribe. Because he had already fought with the barbarians on Dongyong Island, he knew very well the combat effectiveness of these barbarians. Although these barbarians live by fishing and hunting, almost every strong man is a good hunter. Fighting with a barbarian and a Han is probably the victory of this barbarian. But the fight is not fought alone. Rather, the two forces collide and fight. In this regard, Qi Jingtong can see these barbarians as scum, and their fighting methods are not as good as even the Shanyue people in the Three Kingdoms period, and they are not looked at by Qi Jingtong at all.

Qi Jingtong is not afraid of fighting, he is afraid of not fighting, although Dongyong is an island, but there are thousands of miles of land, dense vegetation, undulating mountains, if the potbelly tribe is bent on hiding in the mountains and forests, harassing Qi Jingtong's department. Qi Jingtong really couldn't think of any good way. But now the potbelly tribe has moved. In Qi Jingtong's view, half of this battle has been won.

"Where are they?" Qi Jingtong asked.

"Except for the South, in all directions?" The eighth said.

"What?" Qi Jingtong couldn't help frowning, and couldn't figure out for a while, what attention did the Big-bellied Tribe pay attention to, and continued to ask, "How many people are there?" ”

"At least more than 10,000 people."

Qi Jingtong categorically ordered: "Order all the people who build the road to retreat to the previous camp." Gather all the soldiers into this camp. and reported to Lu Shangshu. Ask him to come to his aid. ”

"Yes." After a few soldiers received the order, they immediately went down to make arrangements, and Qi Jingtong stood on top of the wooden building and looked down. The camp, which was originally small, began to boil at the sound of horns.

The people who were originally working were summoned together by the soldiers in a panic. Organized by their fellow villagers, they began to march southward, retreating to the previous camp along the road they had just opened.

The soldiers who had been scattered around the camp immediately entered the camp. Accept some unfinished projects that are good for the people. Others sat in the open space in the middle of the camp, clad in armor and armed with swords. Carrying a kettle and flatbread, start the first meal.

Because the potbelly tribe can come at any time, the entire camp must have a part of the elite on guard at all times, ready to enter the battle at any time.

A smell of meat came out. Countless soldiers couldn't help twitching their noses.

Even though Zhu Houhuang attached great importance to the food of the soldiers, his financial resources could not supply the county soldiers with meat. The county soldiers can only get extra meals when they are fighting. When all the soldiers ate meat, their hearts were complicated, they wanted to eat meat, and they also remembered the dangers they would encounter in the future. The upcoming feast has also become tasteless.

Just after Qi Jingtong gave the order, the whole night passed. Lao Ba always reported the whereabouts of the Potbelly Tribe, and I have to say that in the jungle, the people of the Potbelly tribe are all good hands, even if they don't collect the elite night on the nine sides, they can't please them, and there are several casualties. made Qi Jingtong feel extremely distressed.

You must know that there are only a dozen families who followed Qi Jingtong to Dongyong. Each one has its own tricks. These skills can't be cultivated overnight.

Moreover, these people have been following Qi Jingtong for a long time, and they have long been cronies, and the loss here really makes Qi Jingtong feel a pity. He immediately sent an order down, telling him not to detect the Potbelly tribe brigade, but to keep watch around the camp.

However, the arrival speed of the Big-bellied Tribe was much slower than Qi Jingtong expected, and the night passed. The potbelly tribe has not yet arrived. The news has reached Lu Wan's hands.

After listening to the report, Lu closed his eyes slightly. Listening to the sound of flowing water on the Yongjiang River, I fell into the long test.

After Lu Wan ordered Qi Jingtong to cross the Yongjiang River as a pioneer, Lu Wan has been stationed on the Yongjiang pontoon bridge. And wanted to turn this temporary pontoon bridge into a full-fledged pontoon bridge. And under his auspices, Lu Wan completed the construction of dozens of miles of roads, starting from the pontoon bridge, one to the camp where Qi Jingtong was stationed, there was a road connection.

In more than ten days of hard work, there has been such great progress, so there is almost no decent resistance from the Big-bellied Tribe, and there are also reasons for the abundance of manpower, but Lu Wan's organizational ability must not be erased.

"Hold on to help." Lu Wan chewed these four words in his heart. How many arrogant soldiers and fierce generals listened to the tune under him, how could he not understand the thoughts of Qi Jingtong.

Qi Jingtong's mind has two layers, one is self-confidence. Confident that even if the potbelly tribe has tens of thousands of people to attack, it will not be able to defeat the camp he guards.

Lu Wan knew that although there were only about 2,000 people in Qi Jingtong's camp, most of the 2,000 people were Qi County soldiers trained by Qi Jingtong. In addition, the pot-bellied tribe probably doesn't know what siege is. Of course, Lu Wan believes in Qi Jingtong at this point. Judging from the materials of Qi Jingtong's department, there is naturally no problem if he guards for ten days and a half months.

The second layer is worry.

The pot-bellied tribe is coming in a big way, and if the siege is not strong, it may not besiege the city and send reinforcements. Moreover, apart from Qi Jingtong, there are few qualified generals around Lu Wan. Even most of Lu Wan's subordinates, dozens of days ago, were still people's husbands. It is not enough to fight at all, Qi Jingtong has this layer of worry. I took the liberty to remind me to come to help.

Lu Wan chuckled in his heart, in the past few tens of days, he didn't waste all his time on road repair, he used the art of war to control the people. This folk man has already been controlled in his hands, of course, if these people are allowed to fight against the elite of the world, the army of the nine sides, and the elite cavalry outside the Saiwai, they still owe the fire, but it is enough for some savages who don't even know the most basic art of war.

Many times, in the world, it is not better than whom, but worse than whom, and the militia who has seen it in Lu Wan. It's enough to deal with the potbelly tribe.

However, just in case, Lu Wan decided to adopt Qi Jingtong's suggestion. Heavy use of soldiers. However, in this way, Qi Jingtong had to maintain it for a few more days under the attack of the potbelly tribe.

Since Lu Wan had made a decision, he immediately arranged it.

He arranged several camps along the way with some old soldiers and people to garrison. The rest of the people, together with the county soldiers, under the leadership of Lu Wan, slowly followed the opened road and headed north.

However, he carried a lot of baggage, but it was only a few dozen miles. At their pace, it would take days. While they were still on the road, Qi Jingtong's side had already begun to fight.
