Chapter 80: Confrontation

Dawn came late, the fiery red sun slowly rose, and the golden sunlight once again sprinkled the earth.

The soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army of the Tooth Tribe, after a hard night, are now all red eyes, and the whites of their eyes are covered with red bloodshots.

As soon as the morning dawned, the order of the leader of the southern expedition was issued, and he set up camp and besieged the fire tribe for a long time.

Suddenly, after the army had enough warriors to keep an eye on the Fire Tribe, the rest of the group left the camp and went to the forest to cut wood and build their new camp in the area where they had re-selected the area to camp.

After yesterday's tentative attack, the leader of the Southern Expedition already knew that his desire for a quick victory was no longer possible.

But after a night of sleep, after careful consideration, he also discovered a loophole in the defense of the Fire Tribe's station.

Just take advantage of this loophole and give the Fire Tribe a surprise attack, and capture the Fire Tribe's station before winter comes.

Now turn your gaze back to the Fire Tribe.

Standing on the high city wall, Su Ming looked at the busy situation in the camp of the Southern Expeditionary Army of the Tooth Tribe opposite, and he could be sure that there would be no war today.

Looking at the tribal warriors who were waiting on his side, Su Ming continued to think about his own question.

How can we continue to weaken them?

If they weren't beaten this time, then even if they retreated this time, Su Ming was sure that it wouldn't be long before they would come again, and they would bring more troops.

At that time, even if you don't attack, just besiege the Fire Tribe, that can cause huge losses to the Tribe.

Especially now, it is changing with each passing day, and it is changing very fast.

The continuous emergence of strange plants in large numbers, although many of them have not contributed much to the development of the Fire Tribe. But as long as there is one that is useful, then it can also accelerate the fire tribe's take-off, and the overall strength can jump to a higher level.

Therefore, it is necessary to fight this war well, to fully demonstrate the powerful strength of the Fire Tribe in this war, and to use the blood of the enemy and countless corpses to tell them that the Fire Tribe is not something they can conquer.

Only in this way can the two sides have the same status, have the right to dialogue on an equal footing, and maintain relative restraint with each other.

Regardless of whether the two sides are hostile or cooperative in the future, at least they will not trap the Fire Tribe in the small land of the tribe's station, and restrict the Fire Tribe from obtaining external resources for rapid development.

Both sides had their own considerations, and they did not attack during the day, and were in a strange peace, but at night, the Fire Tribe still carried out sneak attacks as usual, making the Tooth Tribe restless.

Time passed day by day, and ten days had passed in the blink of an eye. After the first day's attack, the defenses of the Southern Expeditionary Barracks have been being strengthened.

And they have gradually become accustomed to the current rhythm, and are attacked by the Fire Tribe several times every night.

There were too few people from the Fire Tribe to attack, and they didn't dare to penetrate deep into their military formation, causing even more chaos.

Moreover, after the Southern Expeditionary Army expanded the early warning range, the range advantage of the giant crossbow was partially neutralized.

Moreover, after completing the adjustment of the station, the giant crossbow of the Fire Tribe can no longer attack the tent area of their tribal warriors.

Now the ones who are devastated at night have become the slave warriors of the Tooth tribe, and they are the ones who have suffered heavy casualties in the attack.

But for the leader of the Southern Expedition, those slave warriors were cheap cannon fodder, and if they died in the attack, they died, and he didn't care at all, as long as it wasn't the freedom fighters of the tribe who died.

In the core area of the new military camp of the Southern Expeditionary Army, there were some strange and huge tents, which Su Ming and the others noticed as soon as they were built.

In order to find out what they do, Su Ming also personally arrived at the edge of their camp to investigate.

Running the spiritual power in his body, Su Ming's gaze was directly cast on the tent, but the secrecy measures made by the Southern Expeditionary Army were too good, and before entering the core tent, there was also a passage tent to carry out the transition.

Every day, I only see a large number of various materials sent into the passage tent, but I can't see the situation in the innermost core tent, and I don't know what these materials are used for.

Su Ming didn't get an answer, after all, the operation of spiritual power only increased his sight distance, and he had not yet reached the ability to see through the beast skin tent and explore the secrets inside.

But on the whole, no matter what the Southern Expeditionary Army is going to do, it will still be very beneficial to the Fire Tribe if the time drags on like this.

And Su Ming and the others had already sent tribal warriors to carry out the third part of the original plan.

Cut off the Southern Expeditionary Army's connection with their tribes, as well as their logistical supplies.

To carry out this task, it is carried out by the team led by Black Ear, and the two-legged horses that are needed, and the knights who are good at riding horses, are all selected from the best in the tribe.

Moreover, in order for them to successfully complete the task, Priest Hui has prepared a wealth of materials, not to mention all kinds of ointments made of strange plants, which are all necessary materials for soldiers who go out.

But in that magical red fruit, Hui also prepared a lot for the black ear.

With such abundant materials, Bai Fang's eyes were straight, and he couldn't wait to replace Hei Er to perform this task.

The Black Ear and their team, after a tentative attack, set off under the cover of darkness that day.

By now, we must have completed the detour and reached the back of the Tooth Tribe's Southern Expeditionary Army, and began to intercept their communication messengers, as well as the supply convoy transported from the Tooth Tribe.

According to the amount of materials that Su Ming and the others saw when the Southern Expeditionary Army first came, and then calculated according to the amount of consumption of the army on weekdays, the time has reached now, and the materials of the Southern Expeditionary Army are about to run out, and they can't hold out for five days.

But the tribal warriors who had been observing the situation on their side did not find any supply troops arriving at the camp of the Southern Expeditionary Army.

The supply team hasn't arrived yet, and they're either still on their way or they've been intercepted by the Black Ear.

But what is certain is that the leader of the Southern Expedition must be starting to worry about food by now.

As long as the supply team does not come during these five days, then the Southern Expeditionary Army will be completely out of food.

The leader of the Southern Expedition was indeed very distressed now, and received the messenger who brought news from the rear, the most recent of which was ten days ago.

Moreover, according to the situation of the tribe's expedition in the past, the supply team in the rear should have sent the supplies five days ago, but until now, there is still no supply material, and not even a single news has been transmitted.

Moreover, for five days, he sent messengers to the rear to inquire about supplies, but until now, none of the messengers have returned.

Suddenly, he realized that he had lost contact with the rear for ten days.

I kept walking back and forth in the tent in a nutshell, thinking carefully about what had happened during this time, but with these anomalies above, there was nothing else.

But the irritability in his heart could not be appeased, and a silent huge terror, an invisible depression enveloped his whole body.

Could it be that something is wrong in the rear?

A thought that seemed impossible to him suddenly appeared in his mind, like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and he couldn't shake it out.

......

This is a winding, wooded, autumn forest path.

Together with his companions, Hei Er pushed huge packages into the icy river, and in some of the unsunken and scattered packages on the river, it could be seen that there were some air-dried pieces of meat inside.

On the wide river, there are now countless animal skin packages floating, how much material will this be, it would be a pity to destroy it like this.

"This is the third batch of supplies we have intercepted, I didn't expect the Tooth Tribe to be so rich!"

After throwing the last big package, Hei Er stood on the bank of the big river, looked at the floating package, and muttered.

"Brothers, let's go and see if there are any other convoys, but we said that they would not be able to reach the barracks without a single piece of meat. To be a man, you must be true to your word, you say, isn't it!"

Turning around, Black Ear said directly to the waiting warriors.

"At that time, of course, we Fire Tribe always said and did. In a rough and proud voice, and suddenly a somewhat chaotic answer, Hei Er directly took the lead and rode on his two-legged horse, raised his whip to make an acceleration, and disappeared into the dense jungle.

They also have to guard this communication artery, continue to intercept and kill those messengers and logistics troops, and cut off all contact between the Tooth tribe and the southern expeditionary forces.
