Chapter 437: Long Distance Attack, Angry City
『Chapter error, click here to report』
The wasteland is too big, with beasts and wild people everywhere.
For newcomers, even if they are well-supplied and well-equipped, they may not be able to go back and forth safely, so the rout of the Taiding tribe is even more impossible.
These unlucky people who lack food and clothing, even when they sleep, dare not close their eyes, for fear of being bitten by some poisonous snake and poisonous insects, and their death is unknown.
Every day, captives are being brought back to the court.
The female warriors and dragons have already returned to the tribe, and they still don't look down on this military achievement, and Xia Ye is reluctant to use the elite to hunt down the rout.
The matter was left to the savages.
As the natives of the wasteland, the savages are extremely efficient.
"No, how many times have you said it, don't die soon, carry it away quickly and throw it on the carriage over there!"
Friday covered his nose and cursed at a few wild people.
Not all the savages believe in humans and are willing to be loyal to Xia Ye, and there are some who have always kept their distance from Chaoge, but seeing that the savages of other tribes are catching and making a fortune, they can't sit still.
Friday actually didn't want these savage captives, who let them not return to the court, but was stopped by Xia Ye.
Without communication, it is impossible to build trust, and this trade is a good opportunity for these stubborn savages to learn about Chaoge.
"Don't carry it away, are you going to eat people? Tell you, as long as we know that you eat people, we will never want to eat a grain of salt in Chaoge. ”
Friday's stark warning.
The life of the wild people is very primitive and simple, and food and wine are luxuries for them, far less affordable than a knife and a bag of salt.
Of course, weapons are forbidden, so naturally they are open to selling salt.
Xia Ye mined the salt from the salt mine, filtered and purified it, and sold it to the savages, and calculated that the cost was not even a knife coin, but it could be sold for a sky-high price of more than a dozen knife coins.
This is still Xia Ye's view that the savage is too poor, and he didn't dare to ask for too much money, but even so, he is about to empty the savage's family.
Why did so many savages follow Xia Ye? It was not that he overthrew the savage king and won the worship of the savages, but that he had salt mines, grain, and weapons at home.
"Five captives, you can exchange for a bag of grain, or a bamboo tube of salt, what do you want?"
Friday, after inspecting the next wave of savage loot, nodded with satisfaction and made a note on the bamboo paper.
"Salt!"
Savages are not stupid, they know that they want the most valuable ones, even if they can't eat them, they sell them, and the difference is worth a lot of money.
Don't underestimate the wisdom of the savages, they also know to go to remote places to sell salt, after all, the area that Chaoge currently controls is not big enough.
"On Friday, leave things to someone else to do, the army is going to go on the march, go to a meeting. ”
When the ghost master was passing by, he saw Friday and hurriedly urged.
"Are you finally going to take the initiative?"
Friday left the savages behind and ran to the council hall with an excited look on his face.
Seven days after defeating Xia Taiding's crusading army, Chaoge officially sent his troops.
Standing on a hillside, watching the battle flags fluttering and the army marching like a dragon, Xia Ye's chest was full of pride.
"Why don't you wait for the enemy to attack?"
Riding on the back of the white tiger, watching the difficult trek of the army, he was a little puzzled, the soldiers would be tired, and they would eat a lot of grain and grass, and there was a battle, and there was no danger to defend, it was far better to wait at home for the enemy to send them to the door.
"Because the situation of the war has changed, if you wait any longer, you will only miss the warplane. ”
Jiaduo had the same idea as Xiao Lori at first, but after hearing Xia Ye's strategic concept, he was immediately shocked, and then that fighting spirit couldn't be suppressed.
In the afternoon, the Taiding tribe.
Because it is located on the border line and is the outpost of the northern territory of the Xia clan's territory, the gate of the tribe is closed all the year round, but in the past few years, there have been few wars, so the guards have long been slack.
When a large army appeared three miles outside the city, these guards found out and were immediately at a loss, but fortunately, the officers were veterans and knew what to do.
"Wait, don't blow the horn to warn you, is the chief back?"
"It should be, who has such an army other than the chieftain?"
"Do you want to blow the trumpet of victory, and get the people ready for the ceremony?"
Hundreds of leaders get together, muttering, and patting sycophants, this kind of thing is never uncommon.
Just when everyone didn't know what to do, a group of cavalry galloped and came to the city.
"The Great Chief has returned victorious, hurry up and prepare for the welcome ceremony!"
The cavalry captain roared three times.
"I still have to go to the Xia tribe and report to the big chief, you hurry up, I annoy the big chief, it's good for you. ”
After the cavalry captain finished scolding, he led his subordinates south.
"That guy is very raw!"
There were hundreds of people muttering.
"Hmph, it must be a lucky person who has just ascended, damn it, if I also go to the wasteland, I will definitely be able to cut off a dozen heads and rise to the length of a thousand people. ”
A hundred-man commander complained, and everyone felt that this crusade was a waste of military exploits.
"Blow the horn of victory first, let people quickly inform the young master, and we will send another team of soldiers to take a look!"
One of the chiefs of a thousand suggested that if it weren't for the officers' absence, they would all want to go and greet the chief, and perhaps reward him with some goods if he returned victoriously and in a good mood.
It's not that these people are stupid, but some talents and brains have been taken away by Xia Taiding to practice, and those who stayed behind are all mediocre people.
Xia Taiding led tens of thousands of troops to crusade against Chaoge, even if he thought with his ass, it was impossible to lose, so these officers only thought about patting their ass, and they didn't expect Chaoge to kill him.
Knowing that his father had returned from a great victory, Xia Dao instructed his subordinates to arrange a welcome ceremony, and he personally went out of the city to greet him.
Soon, several teams left the city one after another, running all the way along the avenue.
"Father told you to stay in the tribe, what did you run out for?"
Xia An sneered, disgusted that Xia Dao had robbed him of the opportunity to be courteous.
Xia Dao flicked his horsewhip fiercely, crossed Cheyenne, and ignored him.
"What are you doing in a daze?
Cheyenne urged.
A cavalry force appeared in front.
Seeing Xia Tuo, a hundred people greeted him.
"What about my father?"
Xia Dao's brows furrowed, although this general was wearing a tribal military uniform, his face was tight, maybe he was a newly promoted newcomer.
"The Great Chief is behind!"
The leader of the hundred said, "I'll take you there?"
"No need!"
Xia Dao rode his horse and galloped, and the number of cavalry was not much left, it seemed that the battle was fierce, and he didn't know how the infantry were damaged.
However, there are a lot more savages, and it seems that my father's strategic plan has been achieved, but I don't know what the harvest will be, and whether it can make up for the expenses of this expedition?
"How can I compliment my father later?"
Xia Dao thought about it, came to the military flag, and saw his father riding on a variegated horse, he immediately restrained his expression, turned over and dismounted, and hurried forward to greet him.
"Father, I wish you a triumphant return!"
Cheyenne also came, and several other brothers were also saying all kinds of obedient things, and two of them were even wearing military uniforms, and they were more than ten meters away, and they had already knelt down on one knee.
Seeing this scene, the others also quickly knelt down and congratulated loudly.
For a full minute, there was no response.
"What's going on?"
Xia Dao's heart sank suddenly, and he quickly thought about it, did he do anything wrong, or was his father dissatisfied with the results of his left-behind tribe?
The other children were silent, their heads lowered, like frightened quails.
Disheveled footsteps rang out, and the cavalry surrounded them.
Xia Ye rode a white war horse and landed beside Xia Taiding, looking at these young people, and finally his eyes fell on Xia Dao.
From the captive's mouth, Xia Ye had already learned the information of those important people of the Taiding tribe.
Xia Dao couldn't stand this oppressive silence, and dared to ask.
"Father?"
Xia Dao frowned, this figure and clothes are his father's right, but why is he wearing a mask on his face? Could it be that he was disfigured in the war?
"You have to talk to us, I guess you're in a bad mood?"
Thinking of this, Xia Dao was a little annoyed and spoke rashly.
Xia Ye has a toothache, although the mark of the dead has made Xia Taiding immortal, but he has become a walking corpse who can only obey his orders, and has no self-consciousness at all.
Answering my son's question? It's impossible.
The eyes of Jiaduo and the others looked at Xia Ye, and his right hand was already on the weapon, waiting for the order.
"You look down on Chaoge?"
Xia Ye was a little speechless, his original intention was to use Xia Taiding to deceive the gate of the tribe and launch a surprise attack, but who knew that Xia Tuo, who was left behind, actually took the initiative to run over.
As long as you catch Xia Dao, this battle will be won.
"It's not that I look down on Chaoge, it's because my father is out of the horse, and all the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods are going to be finished!"
Cheyenne compliments.
"Has my father ever been injured?"
Xia Dao was concerned.
"What do you mean by that, do you look down on your father?"
Cheyenne accused: "It's just a tribe of savages, how can my father be injured?"
"You're the Savage Tribe!"
Woad couldn't help it and complained.
Everyone's eyes immediately glanced over and saw this little Lori riding a ghost white tiger.
"What the hell, when did my father get better?"
The sons were surprised, but this little Lori seems to be a beautiful embryo, and when she grows up, it can be expected that she will be extraordinary even if she is not a country or a city.
"Yes, the victory came so suddenly, it was overwhelming. ”
Natsuno teased.
"You ......"
Xia Dao frowned and stared at Xia Ye, what the hell is this young man? He actually dared to speak in front of his father? If this was a normal day, he would definitely be whipped.
"Wait, is it my father's illegitimate child?"
Several other people suddenly stared at Xia Ye, their eyes hostile!
"Don't look at it, I'm the Great Chief of Chaoge!"
The corners of Xia Ye's mouth twitched, revealing a wicked smile.
"What?"
Xia Tuo and his entourage, their faces full of confusion.
