vs 89 No spoils of war
All the warehouses were set on fire by the deer people themselves.
The air is filled with the characteristic aroma of burnt grain. Liang Dong sent someone to inspect it, and the granary was burned thoroughly, and the pieces of meat turned into clumps of black char, which were mixed with wheat and stacked, and the grease penetrated the cloth bags, becoming the best combustion additive.
Next to the granary was a fabric warehouse, and both cotton and linen fabrics were burned. The huge fire could not be abated until the stockade was breached, and Liangdong could still feel the temperature of the flames coming from there when he stood hundreds of meters away from the burning area.
The loom was smashed by the deer people themselves, and there were pieces of wood all over the place, and there was no possibility of reconciling.
Liang Dong was furious, and the furious fire in his head made him lose his cool and no longer be able to maintain his sanity.
A few months ago, the leader of the Lei Niu tribe secretly sent someone to Qinglong Village to start the whole plan.
The huge quantitative gap between the supply and demand of materials is a contradiction that cannot be regulated by any normal means. The Lei Niu tribe borders the Balu tribe, and Qinglong Village is the strongest village in the entire tribe fringe area. In every respect, it is the most suitable foundation for the execution of the plan.
Lei Niu Wang Niu Weibang sent 5,000 elite troops, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Mengxiang Village.
In order to do this, he spent a lot of effort: all the troops were broken into pieces and quietly entered Qinglong Village for several months. Large quantities of grain were brought in from the northern path, which was so remote that no one noticed the changes.
The most capable warriors and officers of the northern barbarians are all in Suolong Pass, and the Deer people are no exception. The army sent by the Thunder Bull King is indeed very powerful, but in terms of comprehensive ability, it can only be regarded as the second-line army of the northern barbarians.
Liang Dong knows very well that this is probably his biggest opportunity at present, and it is also an excellent opportunity to get a surname and truly join the ranks of nobles.
For a long time, Qinglongzhai has taken the route of pure militarized development. Liang Dong asked most of the men in the village to become warriors, he never looked at farming, and the most food he obtained in the village was to hunt in the mountains. Looking at all the nearby Lei Niu villages, the population of Qinglong Village has changed the most, and the villagers have changed most frequently. If it is in the era of civilization, this can be understood as the cultural exchange of people at different levels between cities and villages: cities need more labor, and villages need intellectual talents from cities to popularize science and education. But in Qinglong Village, "people for people" only means one thing, and that is food.
On the issue of basic training of warriors, Liangdong and Tianhao have the same logical thinking. They all believed that the fighters must be provided with plenty of food, adequate nutrition. But Ryodong's understanding of the issue is skewed, and he believes that courage comes from the souls of the dead. Men and women, young and old, can derive more courage from the dead as long as they are eaten as food.
Haoping can trade with hundreds of people in Panshizhai, which is actually a sign from Liangdong.
In Qinglongzhai, the status of women is extremely low. There are almost no legal couples recognized by the northern barbarians, and the vast majority of men and women maintain a "needy" relationship with each other. Here, the status of women is more like that of a slave than a member of a tribe. Liang Dong took women as a reward to male villagers who had gained abundance in their daily hunts. He encouraged men to fight with each other, and the victor could get the youngest and most beautiful woman in the stockade.
No one will jump into the fire pit. For many years, there were very few women from outside in Qinglong Village. Food shortages, low social status, and insecure lives and rights...... All kinds of problems restrict the development of the village. Although the men of Qinglongzhai are recognized in the nearby villages as very capable of fighting, this perception is based on savagery, aggressiveness, cruelty and ferocity, at the cost of abandoning most of the annual harvest of farming.
It is impossible for Qinglongzhai to maintain such an advantage for a long time. Under the premise that there is no love and family life to speak of, men's needs for women come more from freshness. Without new faces joining Qinglongzhai, men lose interest in fighting each other.
Lei Niu City is far away from Qinglong Village, and Niu Weibang is not familiar with the details here. As the ruler of the clan, his knowledge of the realm comes more from his officials and the semi-annual summary report of the situation in various places.
Since everyone said that Qinglong Village's combat effectiveness was very strong, and the men there were very capable of fighting, presumably Liangdong, the leader of the village, had a military vision, so he simply let him be the commander of this plan, and also save himself from sending his own cronies from Thunder Point City to attract unnecessary attention.
This attack on Mengxiangzhai is definitely a sure win.
Liangdong carefully compared the strength of the two sides, five thousand against three thousand, everyone on his side is a warrior, although the number of Mengxiangzhai is as many as three thousand, but it can really be evaluated, there are few people who can fight.
Liangdong is really desperate this time.
He sold all the women in the village in exchange for food. Men have enough to eat before they have strength, as long as they break through Mengxiang Village, food, cloth, and women ...... All the efforts can be rewarded, and all the principal and interest will be recovered.
Jing Zhong, the leader of Mengxiang Village, and six guards were brought up. They fought to the death until the last moment. The bodies of the seven men were covered with wounds of all sizes, dried up and mixed with fresh blood, staining their clothes with a large red and black color.
The armed Qinglongzhai warriors surrounded them and beat the losers' legs with blunt weapons, forcing them to kneel. Liangdong walked quickly in front of Jingzhong, staring at each other condescendingly and viciously, and the muscles on his face distorted by the strong sense of anticipation kept twitching. He bent down and grabbed Jing Zhong by the collar, letting out a somewhat uncontrollable scream.
"You burned the grain and the cloth...... Say, "What about the people of your stockpile?" Are there any additional warehouses? ”
The scene is no longer clear. Being shot in the eye with a bow and arrow caused problems with the entire vision. He struggled to distinguish the yelling man in front of him under the bright red veil, and his ears heard every word of the other man's yelling clearly.
He unabashedly smirked contemptuously, even giving a very loud snort from his nostrils.
There is no more truthful information than from the enemy. Although he couldn't see Liangdong's face clearly, Jing Zhong could generally judge that the other party's identity was not low. The so-called war, in addition to revenge and vendetta, the biggest purpose is profit. Since the other party said such words, it means that most of the villagers of Mengxiangzhai have escaped.
Jing Zhong didn't want to keep any emotions anymore, he suddenly opened his mouth and burst out with a laugh that was unbridled to the extreme, the wound at the corner of his eye that had healed slightly was pulled by the muscles and cracked again, and the blood mixed with hearty joy flowed down, spreading red rivers on his cheeks.
