843 Riverside Tribes
An hour later, the eagle returned, and it told Zhang Qiying that there was a large piece of light in a mountain col about twenty miles northeast.
Where there is a bright light, it means that there are people, and it is likely to be a gathering place for the Lulou people. Wang Baoyu had mapped his position and was ready to attack the place.
The savages were full of energy and shouted all night, and many of the soldiers did not sleep well, and the next morning, Wang Baoyu ordered the army to cheer up and set off towards the gathering place of the Lulou people.
For the sake of safety, Wang Baoyu still ordered to move forward while releasing the arrows, and in order not to let the arrows run out, let the soldiers pick up the arrows they shot again and keep them for use. During this period, there were occasional sneak attacks by the Lulou people, and the number of casualties increased slightly.
The army still overcame all the obstacles and went all the way, and finally came to the place where the eagles had explored. There are indeed traces of fire, and some of the land is still a little warm on the surface, but I didn't see any people in the Loulou, presumably they ran away when they heard the movement.
Wang Baoyu was annoyed and ashamed, and he was helpless for a while, who made the family born to be scuds!
The army picked up some pottery, some of which had colored stripes on the black pottery, and it seemed that the Lulou people had mastered the art of firing pottery, and they also wanted to take their life to the next level.
Zhang Qiying let the eagle out again, and found that there was a group of Lulou people gathered five miles away, and there were thousands of people.
Good! One thousand is also their equivalent strength, Wang Baoyu immediately issued an order, and the army immediately rushed here. However, when Wang Baoyu led the soldiers there, they were almost crazy, and these people actually ran away again, and they couldn't even catch a figure.
It's not a fun thing to catch wild people all over the mountains. Facing the enemy head-on, Wang Baoyu's army is not afraid, and he doesn't feel pain when he does any of the three. But the most afraid is that people don't fight with you, keep playing the rest of the hidden cat, seize the opportunity to sneak attack, and kill a few dozens of them by the way, you can't prevent it!
Wang Baoyu put a lot of effort into exterminating this group of people, but Xu Shu's Jian yƬ reminded him: "Baoyu, the people of Lou act like this, they can't be conquered!" ā
Yes, Xu Shu is right, why do you have to conquer them? The army walked straight forward and reached the place where they wanted to go, and they didn't have to worry about this group of Lou people at all. Perhaps, as long as the other party can see the intentions of the army, of course, there will be no more secret ambushes.
In the past few days, the army has been constantly attacked by the Lulou people, and it is not good to sleep at night, and its spirit is also in a state of high concentration during the day.
When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic, so Wang Baoyu compared the map and ordered the army to advance to the north, naturally all the way to the strict guard, never give the Lou people any chance to sneak attack.
The people of Rulou almost followed all the way, and kept shuttling in the dense forest, and you said that you would follow, and kept making teething shouts, and there was no peace for a moment.
After three days of hard walking, the soldiers who had suffered physically and mentally showed that their faces were tired and their appetite was much worse. Wang Baoyu was anxious in his eyes, and at this time, the eagle came with another news, there were many people in a river valley in front of him, and it seemed that there was still the smell of meat.
"Wherever there are people, they must depend on water. Baoyu, the army is unbearable, and it can be attacked tonight. Xu Shu calmly analyzed.
"Alas, these people are more dexterous than monkeys, and before we can pass, they all run away!" Wang Baoyu sighed.
"I have a plan, but my army can take advantage of it."
"Tell me about it!"
"You can discard part of the food and meat that the army carries, and the people of Lulou will inevitably snatch it away, and our army can take the opportunity to attack them." Xu Shu said.
Wang Baoyu painfully agreed to Xu Shu's construction and instructed the soldiers to discard some grain and beast meat accumulated along the way. When the savages saw these things, they took them with a happy face, and ran to ask their leader for credit.
After setting up the camp, Wang Baoyu personally led the team and ordered Cao Zhang and Fan Jinqiang to lead 5,000 soldiers, and did not ride horses, and quietly rushed towards the gathering place of the Lulou people.
After climbing over two hills, I saw hundreds of round thatched huts in a huge clearing by the river, with a large bonfire burning in the middle, and the smell of roasted meat came.
A large group of Rulou people are holding hands and singing and dancing around the fire. Wang Baoyu also saw a woman of the Rulou tribe for the first time, dressed more excessively than men, and didn't even have anything to cover her shame, and she didn't wear anything on her body. However, the love of beauty has existed since ancient times, and most women carry small stones, animal bones, and other ornaments strung with straw rope around their necks, wrists, and ankles.
To be honest, Wang Baoyu doesn't want to destroy this primitive culture, but even if he doesn't want to provoke the Rulou people, this nation will not magnify the past of the army, and they have already regarded the army they led as an invader.
"Brother, can you attack?" Fan Jinqiang asked in a low voice.
"Be careful not to hurt the woman and the child, let's go." Wang Baoyu nodded in agreement.
Fan Jinqiang immediately raised the iron rod high, Cao Zhang also raised his broadsword, and as the soldiers shouted in unison, the army immediately rushed down from the mountain.
The men immediately took up their wooden weapons, while the women and children ran back into the house screaming and watching in horror through the cracks.
"Yingzi, sue them, we just want to get through this place, and we don't want to hurt them." Wang Baoyu said.
Well, Zhang Qiying immediately raised the horn and shouted, but the other party didn't believe it, how could these guys riding tall horses and holding bows, arrows, knives and guns leave a way for themselves to live?
The men glanced at each other, preferring to believe that mountain beasts could be tamed and raised, rather than the nonsense of the well-dressed and delicate-skinned men in front of them, so they still held up the logs and fought them.
Whoosh! As the bows and arrows kept shooting, rows of Rulou people fell in pools of blood. In order to protect their wives and children, the men kept rushing to this side, Fan Jinqiang and Cao Zhang rushed in, I don't know how many Loulou men they killed, anyway, they were covered in blood.
Except for a few who escaped, this successful ambush killed more than 1,000 Rulou men, and as for these women and children, Wang Baoyu ordered them all to be escorted back to the camp.
The women of the Rulou tribe are also very violent, they can't catch it at all, they shout words they don't understand, and they even grab and bite. The children were not to be underestimated, and they took action when they had the opportunity, and without mercy, many soldiers were injured by these women and children.
In desperation, I had no choice but to tie them all up.
