Volume 1 Prehistoric Wars 68 Wild Boar Territory
Lao Fang studied the map, and he was planning his migration.
In his view, the river valley is not a place to live for a long time, the terrain is long and narrow, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the resources are not abundant.
At present, if most reptiles had not entered hibernation, and most mammals followed in the footsteps of herbivores and migrated southward, the valley would not have been so comfortable.
Once spring blooms, reptile forces wake up, mammalian forces return, carnivores move in groups on the ground, and predators are everywhere, then the old side will have a hard time.
And by that time, the number of people under Lao Fang was no longer 6,000, but 40,000.
This small river valley can only feed and clothe three or four thousand people at best, and if 40,000 people are stationed here, they can eat an inch of grass on this land, and everything will wither.
Therefore, the Lao side must now think about migration.
Lao Fang looked at the map, and the most ideal place at present was the valley where the distant ancestors lived, and the land area was large enough, with forests, rivers, and meadows.
If all 40,000 people are relocated there and fully developed, the natural resources in the valley can be maintained for at least a year and a half.
If the progress of the old side is okay, it is also feasible to build a self-sufficient ecosystem.
But the old man rejected this plan, not because he was afraid of robbing the distant ancestors and the iron-backed ape of survival, but because he was unwilling to use this way of besieging the city.
The siege is stubborn, and as soon as people are comfortable, they will lose their motivation and enterprising spirit.
The situation of the great plain in the northwest is the opposite of the situation in the valley of the distant ancestors.
The old side has no strength for the time being, and it is too difficult to build a city on this plain, without a strong force as a guarantee, and to gain a foothold on that plain.
In addition, in this game of prehistoric hegemony, don't build a city outside to be comfortable, maybe one day a group of dragons will fly and tear down the city in three or two clicks.
The old man was plading back and forth in front of the map, and he was used to this young man's body.
When he was in this camp in the river valley, he basically saw people in this body.
It's not because of how handsome this body is, nor because of how healthy this body is, but because of a random fate, the first thing the old party controls is this young man, so this young man has also become the spokesperson of the old party.
In the end, the old man stood still in front of the map, he thought about it, dipped a bamboo pen in the dye made of wild boar blood, drew five circles in a row in the center of the map, and finally added a large dotted circle outside the five circles.
The old man looked at it and smiled with satisfaction.
What else is moving, Lao Fang thought domineeringly: "In this game, Lao Tzu is there, and Lao Tzu is there!" ”
On the current map, Lao Fang has named many places, such as the Wild Boar Forest, the Small River Valley, the Snake Cave, the Camel Mountain, the Lost Forest, and the Ape Valley......
His eyes looked at the first circle—the wild boar forest.
……
The wild boar forest was the first military target of the old side, and he sent more than a dozen groups of spies to touch the wild boar forest.
The old side needs the most detailed geographical information of the wild boar forest and the enemy's scattered areas, and only through this information can he formulate a specific attack plan.
The other party is just a small force, and the old side can attack on a large scale and defeat the wild boar with absolute strength, but the old side did not do this, but took the time to find out the reality of the other party.
He did this not because he was cautious or afraid of defeat, but because he was trying to cultivate his tactical cultivation and improve his level of warfare.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, one battle will not be defeated, at this time, a generation of soldier saint Sun Wu said, what the old party is doing now is the four words "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent".
It was not easy to do these four pieces, and Lao Fang rushed to make more than thirty sets of cloaks made of withered grass, which were inspired by a game of his time, the Gilly Suit in PUBG.
In this season of withering, withered grass is the most common thing in nature, and it is obviously appropriate to use withered grass as a disguise.
He took more than thirty people, divided into twelve groups, and secretly entered the wild boar forest.
Entering the mountains and forests, it is the territory of wild boars, now, the hatred value of wild boars towards people is definitely not too low, the old party killed so many of their kind, ate the meat of their kind, stripped the skin of their kind, and made clothes, this hatred will be clearly remembered even if the whole winter passes.
Therefore, the old side must not meet them, once they do, a group of teams will definitely not survive.
Fortunately, the old side has a high degree of attention to the decapitators, and the way they move and precautions during reconnaissance are studied by the old side.
Of course, many of their things have to go through special training before they can sneak into the enemy camp without knowing it, and even take the head of the enemy chief among thousands of troops.
But now, the requirements of the old side are not so high.
The old side only needs these young people who act as scouts and have some basic knowledge, and as for the future, the old side also plans to build a team similar to the nature of the decapitator.
With the old side in charge and the withered grass cloak as a cover, the old side's reconnaissance team has achieved the feat of turning danger into disaster many times.
Sometimes, when they happened to encounter the wild boar brigade passing by, they found that it was too late to dodge, so they lay on the ground and remained motionless until the wild boar brigade took a small step and walked over with a twist of the buttocks.
I went deep into the wild boar forest and felt the breath of life of wild boars.
Among mammals, wild boars may be above average in intelligence, although they sometimes seem to be naïve.
Wild boars are one of the few animals that can still stick to their territory in winter, and all cattle, sheep and horses follow the water and grass, and only wild boars can still find food to survive in the woods.
This comes from the fact that they are never picky eaters, they eat whatever they encounter, eat the young leaves of certain plants in spring and summer, eat melons and fruits in autumn, and can find the rhizomes of plants in winter.
In this winter, their days are also leisurely, and the good things contained in the earth are sometimes not seen by the eyes alone, but with heart and experience.
Wild boar forests are full of treasures, no wonder so many wild boars, can survive, the old side in the reconnaissance terrain, found many familiar plants, such as lichens, winter bamboo shoots, radish, water chestnuts and so on.
There are many of these plants, especially along the river, where there are water chestnuts and some of the rock walls are covered with large areas of lichen.
It is by virtue of their own wisdom that wild boars find these things in the dirt and puddles, and then fill their stomachs.
Of course, it can also be said that they are lazy and unwilling to travel thousands of miles to the warm south to beg for a living.
But laziness also has to qualify, and they can't be lazy if they don't have the talent to find food.
Through the eyes of more than a dozen groups of reconnaissance teams, Lao Fang kept in mind some key plants, some of which could be planted in large areas, and after his situation stabilized, these plants that could be planted were likely to be his military rations and important resources for improving people's lives.
In the heart of the wild boar forest, there is a mountain area surrounded by grasslands, and this mountain is the foundation of the wild boars.
The mountains here are not very high, or in other words, the terrain of this grassland is not high, which makes it difficult for people to notice.
But the area of the mountain is definitely not small, the old party visually estimated that it has 3,000 acres, and this mountain alone is more than ten times the area of the river valley.
It took Lao Fang half a day to dive to the edge of the mountains, and through the observation of more than ten sets of eyes, Lao Fang found three ways into the mountains.
However, at the intersections of these three roads, there are wild boar settlements, and there are about one or twenty wild boars living in caves at the edge of the road.
It took Lao Fang another two hours to climb to the top of one of the mountains, although the mountains are only a few dozen meters high, but the walls of each mountain are very steep, and Lao Fang was able to climb up with the help of wild vines hanging down from the mountain.
Just looking at this terrain, Lao Fang felt amazing, I really don't know how this creator created this terrain, in a concave place, there is actually a mountain.
But after glancing around from the top of the mountain, Lao Fang was convinced, and he speculated that in a very long time ago, these places surrounded by trees were no less than 8,000 acres of lakes, but the movement of the earth's crust caused volcanic eruptions, causing the bottom of the thinnest lake to become a volcanic eruption.
The volcano has not one mouth, but more than a dozen mouths, and will besiege a large valley in the most central area.
Over time, the lake became a crater, and finally what it is today, and everything was under the control of nature.
There is a lake in the center of the mountain, with a water surface of 300 acres, and a slender river divides the whole mountain into four parts of different sizes.
There are about a thousand acres of forest in the mountains, and there are several bare mountain areas......
Very good place, the old party coveted this valley, although this valley is not as good as the ape valley in terms of resources and area (the name given by the old man to the place where the distant ancestors lived), but compared to the current river valley, this is simply a paradise.
The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are only three natural exits to the entire mountain, each of which can keep most carnivores out with only a slight modification.
No wonder wild boars have gained a foothold in this area.
The resources are also abundant, there are forests, rivers, and lakes, and those bare mountains may be some kind of minerals.
If it contains iron ore, or copper ore, it is even more perfect.
The old man watched with great interest, and at the same time, according to these terrains, he was thinking about how to take this mountainous land.
With this mountainous land in hand, he can settle some people here and work and develop with peace of mind.
He stood on the top of the hill and repeatedly studied that for this terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, he must be able to surprise and attack unprepared, and blindly attacking will only lose his troops.
One plan after another was presented, but none of them were satisfactory to him, and these plans were the best, and it was estimated that it would cost thousands of people to get this piece of land.
