Chapter 820: Take the initiative
The transformation of the Xuanniao tribe from a small tribe to a medium-sized tribe is through bloody expansion, and the same is true from a medium-sized tribe to a large tribe.
But there is a big difference in attitude, from small tribes to medium-sized tribes, Xuanniao basically fights back after being attacked, and never takes the initiative to cause trouble, but since leaving the mountain, the situation is completely different, this is because Chen Kan suddenly wants to feel the feeling of taking the initiative.
To be honest, no matter which plane he was on before, Chen Kan rarely took the initiative to trouble the other party, and in the American team, it was Germany that first provoked the war; Whether it is the King Kong Gate or the Wara army in the Sword Rain plane, Chen Kan is a passive counterattack; Detective Di Renjie's plane, it is still the snake spirit and the iron hand group who take the initiative to trouble Chen Kan.
On the plane of the Republic of China, there is not much to say about those associations in Japan; The plane of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is Cao Zhengchun or Zhu Wuzhi; The Fengyun plane is still like this, Rouran in the north took the initiative to attack Chen Kancai to defend himself and counterattack, and Xiongba, Absolute Godless, and Emperor Shakti also came to the door to do things by themselves.
Unless it is required by the task, Chen Kan rarely takes the initiative to trouble the other party, this is the martial arts that Chen Kan realized in the Huo Yuanjia plane, "defense", not not to attack, but to defend as an attack.
Chen Kan, who has always been "defensive and counterattacking", but for some reason, at the moment when he led the Xuanniao tribe out of the mountain, he suddenly wanted to experience the initiative.
So there was a bloody storm in this area, and before Chen Kan could digest the results of the previous victory, he decisively set off a second war, brazenly attacking his previous ally, the Red Bird Tribe.
The strength of the Red Bird tribe lost nearly 500 people when it conquered the Chen Kan tribe before, and then it lost about 600 people in the battle with the 5,000-person tribe, and lost 1,000 young adults before and after, and the strength of the tribe was greatly reduced.
Originally, the original intention of the Red Bird Tribe to find the Chen Kan Alliance was to let the Xuan Bird Tribe be cannon fodder and consume the opponent's strength, but he didn't expect Chen Kan to see this clearly, and when the battle started, the two tribes suffered a lot of losses, and each lost more than 600 soldiers in the battle.
Of course, this Xuanniao tribe also lost a lot, but it did not hurt the muscles and bones, and under the guidance of Chen Kan, the tribe has a relatively complete reserve system, coupled with a relatively complete medical system, although the soldiers of the Xuanniao tribe also have losses, but the combat effectiveness of the troops has not suffered much loss, and the Xuanniao tribe was easily annexed.
After half a year, Chen Kanyan rebuilt Xuanniao City on the basis of two conquered medium-sized tribes, digested the results of several conquests, and launched another annexation war before winter, and the opponent was another former ally.
Although the strength of this tribe is somewhat stronger than that of the Red Bird Tribe, and there are low city walls as protection, it is a pity that in front of the elite warriors of the Xuan Bird Tribe, this tribe did not last long before being defeated.
After annexing three medium-sized tribes in a row in half a year, there were no strong opponents around, Chen Kan spent another year turning the Xuanniao tribe into a large tribe with a number of 6,000 people, and also built five small and two medium-sized subsidiary tribes, with a total number of more than 12,000 people, and as many as 50,000 slaves.
(In primitive and slave societies, it was normal for slaves to outnumber inhabitants, such as Sparta having more than ten times the number of inhabitants.) )
In this area, Chen Kan followed the idea of "those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish", and used various methods to clear all the forces in this area, although some tribes formed alliances against Chen Kan, but unfortunately they did not become a climate, and finally the entire area became the territory of the Xuanniao tribe.
This sudden rise of the Xuanniao tribe naturally caused unease among several large tribes in the Bird Totem Tribal Alliance, or rather resentment against the challengers of this order, and almost broke out into conflict.
The reason why the conflict did not break out in the end was not because of the conscience of either side, but because the Ox Totem Tribal Alliance, which was unanimous with the Bird Totem Tribal Alliance, took action against the Xuanniao Tribe.
The large tribes of the alliance of the two ox totem tribes made a move against the Xuanniao tribe, both tribes are large tribes with more than 10,000 people, and the way large tribes fight is completely different from that of small and medium-sized tribes, the other party dispatched 8,000 people, of which 7,000 are slaves, which is impossible to see in the war of small and medium-sized tribes, because it is impossible for small and medium-sized tribes to have so many slaves.
And in terms of weapons and equipment, they not only have stone spears and bows and arrows, but also wooden shields, slings and other weapons that are lacking in small and medium-sized tribes, and some weapons made of bronze have also appeared, and the formation of the army is also more neat and orderly, and at first glance they are veterans of war.
Large tribes are not comparable to small and medium-sized tribes in terms of numbers or equipment, which is a huge gap in heritage.
It's a pity that they came too late, if they had sent troops when Chen Kan had just come here and had not yet gained a firm foothold, maybe the Xuanniao tribe would have to retreat to the mountains, but now, it was too late, of course, this was in the case of Chen Kan not making a move, if Chen Kan made a move, 100,000 people would not be enough for Chen Kan to kill, so Chen Kan was almost always a bystander in the war.
Chen Kan took 3,000 soldiers to the battle, of which 2,500 were slaves, although there was a huge gap between the two sides in terms of numbers, but the quality of individual soldiers, military formation, weapons and protective equipment, the Xuanniao tribe all had the upper hand, and the final decisive battle ended in the defeat of the Niu Totem tribe coalition army.
Chen Kan naturally won't just forget it, it's not Chen Kan's style to be beaten only, regrouping 4,000 soldiers, running long distances, and directly breaking through the camp of a large tribe, but a large tribe is a large tribe after all, and it is difficult to destroy it, and in the end Chen Kan robbed more than 20,000 prisoners (including a large number of slaves) and returned to the base camp with a large amount of loot, which can be described as a complete victory.
This battle established the status of the Xuanyao tribe, no tribe dared to underestimate the strength of the Xuanniao tribe, a latecomer, those large tribes that were going to trouble the Xuanniao tribe also died down, strength determines everything, the Xuanyao tribe has become an important member of the bird totem tribal alliance, and has a certain right to speak in the alliance.
In the next five years, through various conquests, the Xuanniao tribe finally became the most powerful tribe in the Bird Totem Tribal Alliance, with more than 20,000 inhabitants and an astonishing number of 150,000 slaves, which is not counting the number of seventeen affiliated tribes.
