Tianhao did not directly bring the two velociraptors back to the village. He stayed at the Bighorn Deer Ranch for a day, and then called in the supervisor, Yuan Kai, and led people to build a few simple wooden houses in the col about five kilometers north of the ranch.

For the mutant velociraptors, the northern barbarians were food. Tianhao needs time to explore a set of practical domestication methods. He asked Tianmad to return to the stockade first, selected fifty strong men, brought all kinds of necessary supplies, and went to the "dragoon station" he had chosen.

Salt and meat are the best bait, and even ferocious man-eating monsters like to live happily for nothing.

Especially salt.

When the saddle sheath was attached, the velociraptor showed some resistance, and Tianhao ordered an increase in the supply of salt, and they quickly became docile, allowing the belt to go around their abdomen and put the reins around their necks.

"Ride on."

"Let them learn to obey orders."

"If you don't obey, you whip me with a whip and stab me with a spear. Let them bleed and let them understand what rules are. ”

"If you really can't tame it...... Just kill them! ”

As the leader of a village, Tianhao has too many things to do, and it is impossible to stay in this place for a long time.

He had a kind of consciousness of breaking the boat.

Surviving in the wild world was already extremely difficult, and knowing the end of the civilized world completely shattered his last hope for the future. Creation needs to break the shackles of the original, and any voice that dares to oppose it must be severely suppressed. If there is fierce resistance, then kill when you should kill it, and never be merciless.

This is true of men, and even more so of wild beasts.

The northern part of the continent is vast, and if you kill two refusing velociraptors, there are many more of their kind.

The worst imaginable scenario didn't happen, and both velociraptors cooperated. They were not hostile to the weapon-wielding humans around them, and were content with salt, or salted jerky.

It quickly became dark.

A bonfire was lit at the camp, and it was almost time for Tianhao to leave. At this time, Yuan Kai hurried over from the far path with a few people.

"Chief, there's news from the stockade that there is an emergency." As he spoke, he pulled a young man standing behind him to the front.

Tianhao knew this man, he was a spy under Ping Jun.

"What's wrong?"

"The Deer Tribesmen have sent troops in large numbers and have already crossed the border."

……

The three firepits in the Panshi Village Chamber are blazing with blazing fires, the only way people can trade the night for time to be active until a better way of lighting is developed.

All the people in the stockade who were above the rank of "head of the hundred" attended the meeting. They gathered around the large log table, with Tianhao as the core, and looked down at the map of animal skins spread out on the table.

For the first time in his life, Hirajun made a public appearance on such an occasion. He was so excited that it even turned into excitement in his heart. He forced himself to calm down, but it was difficult to control his trembling body, causing his speech to become choppy and incoherent.

"The army of Stag City had been dispatched the day before yesterday. We followed the leader's instructions and bought a dozen horses from the city of Red Hoof, and only then did we get the news back before the deer people. ”

Tianhao raised his hand and patted Pingjun's shoulder to show encouragement, and asked seriously, "Have you found out the direction they are traveling?" ”

"We're investigating, and the news is coming back in a relay fashion." According to Tianhao's previous suggestion to Ping Jun, there is a team of five people for every one, and they are assigned in several directions that must be focused on. Once there is important information that must be transmitted as soon as possible, Panshizhai will immediately send one or two information liaison teams in that direction, all of whom will be equipped with horses, and the latest information will be transmitted layer by layer in a single way.

Tianhao doesn't know if there are pigeons in this strange world. The method of capturing domesticated birds for delivering messages has already been told to Pingjun. Unfortunately, everything takes time.

"The composition of the army is limited to the Stag clan, and the number is about six thousand. Their target is our Thunder Cattle Division. ”

Finding these messages is not as difficult as you think.

The combat effectiveness of the deer people can only be regarded as average. Of course, the march and battle must be kept secret, but this time the situation is different: for the fierce and fierce cattle tribe, the deer people have an instinctive fear. Concealing the news and tricking them into crossing the border into the territory of the Ox Clan will only cause panic within the army. No one likes to fight against a strong opponent, the odds of winning are too small, and it is better to run away in advance than to die in vain.

As a last resort, Lu Qingyuan could only make public the news of the destruction of Mengxiang Village. Taking the initiative to send troops and taking revenge are two different concepts. The sluggish morale of the Deer Army began to rise, and the fear of the soldiers was not so strong.

"We haven't found out exactly what the deer people are targeting. The army that left Stag City did not enter the border from the shortest distance in a straight line, but made a circle from our east. Pingjun pointed to the map and nodded to the southeast of Panshi Village: "Their entry location is here." ”

"There's one thing that's weird." After a pause, Pingjun continued: "This time, there are two generals of the Lu clan, both of whom are the sons of Lu Qingyuan, the leader of the deer clan. ”

Tianhao raised his head and felt a little surprised: "One of them is Lu Qingxi?" ”

"No, he's not one of them." Pingjun shook his head: "It's Lu Qingdong and Lu Qingnan." We are investigating who is the general and who is the lieutenant. ”

That's what we know so far.

Tianhao put his hands on the table, his arms spread wide, he raised his head and scanned the surroundings with a threatening gaze: "Our trouble is coming." Attacking Mengxiang Village was an order from the king, but now that Qinglong Village is gone, we will definitely become one of the targets of the Lu people. ”

Hunting Captain Yonggang was a little puzzled: "Ah Hao, do you mean that the Deer Clan wants to fight a big battle this time?" ”

"They don't have that ability, and they don't have that capital." Tianhao shook his head calmly: "If there is a face-to-face war, the number of troops they send will not be so much, at least more than 20,000." The scouts who were in charge of monitoring the other directions had not heard from them, which meant that the other tribes had not sent troops. ”

The old priest looked down at the map with a worried face: "Even if it is six thousand, it is a lot, and there are only more than three thousand people in our village including the old people and children...... How will this battle be fought? ”

Tianfeng interjected: "Ah Hao, while it's still too late, let's send someone to ask for help from Red Hoof City and Thunderhorn City as soon as possible!" ”

"Not yet." Tianhao smiled weirdly: "Speaking of which, I have to thank the general sent by the Deer Clan this time. It was he who gave me the confidence to win this battle. ”

Yonggang frowned, unable to understand what he was talking about: "Ah Hao, what do you mean by this?" ”

Tianhao used his right hand to focus on the location of the standard rock village on the animal skin map: "Our village is the closest to the territory of the Deer people, and he will not regard us as the first target. ”

As he spoke, his fingers moved to the right, drawing a circle from bottom to top centered on the rock village: "All the villages in this area are likely to be attacked, but we are in last place...... Definitely last. ”

Tian Madness held his thick arms, he, like everyone else, couldn't understand it, and couldn't hear the hidden content of Tianhao's words, so he could only turn his gaze to Tianhao: "Why? ”

"Because he's a smart man." Tianhao smiled: "Quite a brain, far-sighted kind." ”

……

Yongli Village was breached.

The excited Deer warrior shouted loudly and rushed into the stockade, piercing the bodies of the ox people with sharp spears, and then plunging the spears upside down into the ground. Corpses and weapons, this is the most direct way to show martial arts.

The men who were killed, and the women were taken into centralized custody, which was the uniform rule after the battle. But until then, anyone can carry them into the cabin on their shoulders and do what most men like.

The old man is useless, kill them all.

Children who reach a certain level of height can live. They will grow up to be good slaves.

Children who are too young are useless, they, like the old people, will become spare food in the barbarian wars.

Sitting in the wooden house that originally belonged to the leader of Yongli Village, looking at the cow woman who was cutting a large piece of fresh meat with a knife, Lu Qingnan was very satisfied and let out a hearty laugh.

"You're still smart, big brother! This time, thanks to the big brother, you came out with me, otherwise I would never have thought of fighting Yongli Village first. ”

Lu Qingdong sat next to him, with a faint smile on his face, and a wooden basin was placed in front of him, which contained a fresh human head that had just been cut off. The deceased had a piece of wood stuffed in his mouth, about the size of a child's fist, and the space inside his mouth could barely fit it. It is to stuff the deceased into it while he is still alive, then tighten the wooden block with a leather rope to prevent the deceased from spitting it out, and then wait for the deceased to struggle for nearly two minutes in a state of intense vomiting and semi-suffocation that stimulates the esophagus, and then chops off the head with a knife and axe.

This is the head of the leader of the Yongli Village.

Lu Qingdong is not a bone bowl master, but he knows every detail of making a bone bowl. Giving the deceased a strong plug in the mouth will cause the facial muscles to tighten, creating enough squeezing sensation on the skull to seal the gap between the skull bones to the greatest extent. Keeping it in this dead state, peeling the skin and cutting the flesh, and removing the brain, you can take out the complete bowl shape along the edge of the skull.

The scale of Yongli Village is not large, and it is more than 100 people. Lu Qingdong planned to take the opportunity of this expedition to cut off the heads of nine Niu clan hundred-person heads and one thousand-person head, and make a complete set of ten bone bowls with his own hands, which he dedicated to his father.

Barbarian detailsThe bowl made from the skull of the dead has mystical powers. The sick will get better quickly when they drink this kind of bowl for medicine, the weak will gain strength by eating in a bone bowl, and the timid guy will get guts by using a bone bowl...... In this way, the terrible superstition spread widely, and even pregnant women were willing to use bone bowls, believing that it would make childbirth smooth and adults and children safe.

The firelight illuminated the scalped-off skull, and Lu Qingdong had blood on his hands, and he was drying the deceased's skull with a rag and baking it slightly near the fire. The charcoal drew a line on the surface of the dry bone, and he picked up the small hacksaw and began to cut along the line, making a tooth-aching sound.

The three sons of the patriarch Lu Qingyuan, the eldest son, Lu Qingdong, is experienced and smart, and is an excellent general.

Lu Qingnan knew that he was not as good as his eldest brother in terms of military vision and ability. He belongs to the kind of honest and loyal character, and has never had much interest in the position of patriarch. The day before Lu Qingyuan decided to send troops, Lu Qingnan found his father and asked to bring his eldest brother Lu Qingdong to go on the expedition together. In order to dispel his father's suspicions, he took the initiative to propose: he is the main general, and the eldest brother Lu Qingdong is the deputy general.

Facts have proved that Lu Qingnan's choice was not wrong.

Lu Qingdong's offensive line was unexpected by everyone. He did not directly attack the rock village closest to the territory of the Deer Clan, but led the army from the southeast forest across the border, into the territory of the Niu Clan, without revealing his whereabouts in the depths of the mountain forest for more than a week, around the rear of the Lei Niu Division, and launched a fierce attack on the small and remote Yongli, which was like the top of Mount Tai, and won the battle.

"There's no way around it." Lu Qingdong didn't care about the praise of his second brother, he concentrated on sawing the human head in the wooden basin, and let out a soft sigh: "The Niu people are brave and fierce, and the weapons they have created are unparalleled in the world. Take this hacksaw, for example, they can make such a small thing, they can do it so delicately. If it's to be replaced by a blacksmith in our clan, it's really not good. ”

"Our deer soldiers can only fight with the wind. This time, we will send troops, and Panshi Village will definitely be the most convenient target for attack. But you have to understand that many things can't just be taken at face. Panshi Village is located on the border, and the strongholds of such places have always been fortified. I estimate that the people of Qinglong Village have been concentrated in Panshi Village, and Niu Weibang, the patriarch of Lei Niu, is very smart, he knows that we will retaliate sooner or later, so he has prepared a response in advance. The merger of the two villages into one village will increase the combat effectiveness exponentially. ”

"Panshizhai is a hard walnut, so let's ignore him. Go around and hit them in the rear. Look at this map: Yongli, Ganquan Village, Jimai Village, Zhangpu Village...... We don't need any rules, as long as we rush over as fast as possible, we can bulldoze these small villages one by one. ”

Lu Qingnan already knew the entire battle plan, but he was still a little worried. Moved his butt towards Lu Qingdong, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, my father asked us to fight Qingyuan Village this time, this is the point." ”

"If they dare to offend their father's name, they will have to pay the price." Lu Qingdong's gaze never left the head in his hand from beginning to end: "I have carefully considered it, Qingyuan Village is ranked second to last in attack, and Panshi Village is ranked last. It's the closest to our territory, so we can evacuate in time if something happens. In short, Panshizhai can fight if it can, and leave if it can't win. As long as we take Qingyuan Village, plus these Niu Clan Villages that we have captured during this time, it will be a great achievement in front of my father. ”
