After watching the battle, the envoys sent by more than a dozen large and small tribes will definitely bring back the information of this battle, which indirectly determines the judgment of those tribes' first impression of Luo Ming's strength.

If Luo Ming directly sent troops to press up, even if he was well-equipped and well-trained, it would be difficult not to suffer casualties.

If there are casualties, even if it is only ten people, it will be a big difference compared to zero casualties.

The total number of men in the Three Ape Divisions is only one hundred and fifty, and if Luo Ming is killed or injured by ten, then the exchange ratio is one to fifteen.

Although it is extreme, there have been occasional examples of such battles in World War II on Earth, where the elite German army and the grandfather militia of the Soviet army can play such a exchange ratio - but in the end, Germany still lost so much that it even lost its pants.

Then, the small tribe may threaten Luo Ming's soldiers to fight to the death as a condition to negotiate with Luo Ming, and the large tribe will even consider whether they can fight Luo Ming's army if they form an alliance and use thousands of troops to besiege it, or at least let it be greatly damaged, and then thwart Luo Ming's attempt to quickly rule the entire Castle Mountain.

Even if it is an extreme one-to-fifteen, if the other party forms a coalition of 3,000 people, theoretically speaking, it can fight out Luo Ming's 200 backbones.

However, if the artillery bombardment was used to win the victory at the cost of zero casualties, what tribe would have such an unrealistic idea?

The former belongs to elite soldiers, while the latter, comparable to ghosts and gods, is beyond the reach of manpower.

No matter how strong the elite soldier is, he may be besieged to death by the sea of people, or he may be killed by the weak because of an accident.

However, ghosts and gods are different, in the simple religious view of the mountain people, whenever the ghosts and gods are angry, people can only kneel on the ground and pray for their forgiveness, and even offer human sacrifices to appease their anger.

It is better to capture compatriots in the tribe and sacrifice them than to rise up and resist.

Only a few heroes can successfully resist the ghosts and gods, but those heroes are also like gods and ghosts, which only exist in stories, and no one alive has the confidence to say that they can be compared to those heroes who have been deified.

===================================================

Coming to a high ground more than 300 meters away from the Three Ape Division, Luo Ming quickly put the soldiers into the civil engineering work - this time, there were servants who cut the wood in advance, and even assembled it a little before transporting it, and now they only need to assemble them to immediately build a wooden village, which is several times faster.

Legend has it that when Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a low-ranking officer on the earth, he used this method to build a huge wooden village overnight, so that the enemy who did not know the truth thought that there were ghosts and gods to help, and did not rashly attack.

As long as the opponent does not have siege equipment, such a wooden village is basically enough.

As for arson, Luo Ming's soldiers spread a little layer of earth on the perimeter of the wooden fence, which was not a lot of work, but it could prevent arson to a certain extent. Besides, there are buckets and sand buckets to put out fires.

From a high position here, you can basically see the three apes clearly - although at this distance, ordinary people can only barely distinguish the shape of human limbs, but the eyesight of Luo Ming and other swordsmen is not so simple.

At this distance, he could almost make out other people's expressions.

So, he noticed something unusual.

"Sluggish expression? No, no......"

He opened his energy vision and saw a strange atmosphere.

Obviously, there are many people active, but that tribe lacks vitality, and no matter how you think about it, it makes people feel abnormal.

"Hmph...... I guess that's a trap, but I didn't think I'd be in there since I started!"

Although he would send his soldiers to sweep up the fish that slipped through the net after the bombardment, he would never let them step into the midst of a sea of fire, and no trap would work.

The soldiers carried a heavy stove, put in the charcoal prepared in advance, and used the bellows to blow the air desperately, so that the temperature in the furnace rose rapidly.

Then they put the cannonball into the furnace, and the iron ball gradually burned hot and red.

On the other side, the cannon had let out a deafening roar, but it was much quieter than usual, and the difference was that it was no longer solid round or shotgun, but thin iron cans.

Such a thin iron can is very fragile, it is easy to be crushed in the cannon or just after the discharge due to the high pressure of the gunpowder gas, and it is only after the amount of gunpowder is reduced that it can be fired intact - of course, the range has become much closer, but now the enemy is only 300 meters away, just enough to hit.

A full eight iron cans slashed across the sky one by one, except for the first two that were crooked, the remaining six were considered to have landed within the range of the settlement of the Three Ape Divisions.

The moment they hit the ground, they deformed, and the thin layer of iron immediately shattered, and then the liquid in them splattered out.

Then, putting on heavy blacksmith gloves, the soldiers carefully removed the red-hot iron balls from the stove with fire tongs.

A cork is used to separate it from the gunpowder, so that the red-hot shells do not ignite the gunpowder immediately.

With Luo Ming's order, the cannon opened fire again, firing the iron balls that were still reddened.

After crossing a distance of more than 300 meters, the red-hot iron ball smashed into the tribe, bouncing and rolling.

Everywhere they went, branches and firewood were lit, and the most flammable was the liquid that had been splattered from the thin iron cans.

It's a mixture of highly concentrated alcohol and vegetable oils, and although the two are not miscible with each other, they have a different kind of use.

Alcohol has a very low ignition point and is easily ignited by a red-hot iron ball, and when it burns to produce a huge amount of heat, the vegetable oil is ignited shortly afterwards.

This small settlement of the entire tribe was only a few thousand square meters, including a large number of wooden shacks, and the fire spread rapidly.

Oil can float on water, and if someone uses water to extinguish such a fire, it will only allow the burning oil to spread farther on the water and further expand the fire.

Although no one came to put out the fire, with such a small area, even if the oil did not continue to spread, it was enough to plunge the entire tribe into a sea of fire.

The lifeless people of the tribe finally got into action, but they just spun around blindly, like a swarm of headless flies, and even some of them were covered in flames and continued to run as if they were unaware of it, until they were burned and then collapsed.

Looking at this scene from afar, it is like a cauldron of hell used to intimidate blasphemers and cultists in many holy scriptures, and it makes people feel chilled.
