Volume 2: Escape the World Chapter 111: Retest (13) Goal, Prairie!
The terrifying flames turned into a sea of fire, engulfing the tall tree wall, and soon burned to ashes all over the ground, and the remaining fireworks spread towards the surrounding jungle, but they were quickly extinguished and subsided by the cold snort of the leader of the Fire Tribe.
The leader rushed out of the ashes with the Fire Tribe clansmen, looked at the Wood tribe that ran out of reach, roared angrily, and immediately commanded the warriors of the tribe to pursue the fleeing Wood Tribe, and he personally led the team.
The escape lasted for five days, and from time to time there were fires in the jungle, birds and beasts flew, and all beasts scattered, and the calm forest was turbulent, and the two tribes fought and clashed many times, all of which ended in the defeat of the wood tribe.
The Wood Witch spawned a plant wall to cover the warriors' retreat, and the fire leader spewed flames and directly ignited the plant wall, and the tree wall only supported for a moment, and was turned into ruins all over the ground, and the fire tribe continued to pursue.
There are also flint mines in the jungle, and the flames of the Fire Tribe are precisely the flint strikes used, and the tribal warriors use the same flint weapons, and the weapons of the Wood Tribe have no advantage, and the number of people is far inferior to the other party.
The Fire Tribe was really angry, and there were four hundred people chasing and killing, most of them were warriors, and the Wood Tribe did not have many advantages, only the leather armor on his body, the Teng shield in his hand, and the sling, which could barely resist the enemy's attack.
The most terrifying thing is the leader of the Fire Tribe, who is shrouded in terrifying heat, but whenever he gets close to any combustible, it will be ignited instantly, and the warrior has no way to get close, but can only rely on bows and arrows to contain it from afar.
In addition to giving birth to the tree wall to resist, the wood witch also tried, giving birth to rattan to attack, but unfortunately the rattan did not work, and was soon baked and steamed dry, swallowed by the tongue of fire, and the wood tribe fled while fighting, with heavy losses.
By the time they fled back to the Mu tribe, there were only more than 130 of the 200 warriors they brought out, and five of the flesh and blood warriors were killed, and even the strongest leader, Ju, was severely burned.
The warrior team rushed into the city, hurriedly greeted the clansmen, closed the city gate to fight, and the Fire Tribe pursued to the city, but was blocked by the strange hill in front of them, and waited until the leader of the Fire Tribe arrived, and then attacked under his command.
It was only a few strong attacks, but it never broke in, and the warriors of the Wood Tribe, standing on the wooden platoon on the inner wall, sniped at the Fire Tribe, and the stones and sharp wooden spears accelerated by the slings rushed to the face.
Most of the warriors, before they could get close to the moat, were blocked back, and a few brave ones, rushing through the rain of stones, jumped into the river and swam to the opposite bank, only to be swarmed by the big fish in the river and torn to pieces.
The leader of the Fire Tribe breathed a scorching breath, and the flames that were invincible in the face of the high walls of trees were useless on the walls of the Sanhe Earth, and the earth was not only not combustible, but also possessed extremely high insulation.
After several successive flame attacks, the fire leader returned in vain, looking at the more and more wounded warriors, seeing the exhaustion on their faces, he waved his hand helplessly and gave the order to retreat temporarily.
When the tribesmen heard the order, they hurriedly withdrew from the attack range, set up a simple camp in the distance, cleaned up the wood and fire, used flint to make flames, treated the injuries of the injured tribesmen, and confronted the wood tribe from afar.
Someone was in charge of keeping watch in the vicinity, someone began to look for prey, and the fire chieftain and his people began to wander around the edge of the hill to see if there were any other places to enter, but unexpectedly triggered the traps around the tribe.
One by one, the warriors suddenly fell into the deep pit, pierced by the dense bamboo spears at the bottom of the pit, and let out a painful wail, and the primitive people, who had not yet had the concept of a trap, did not know what was happening, and showed panic and fear on their faces.
Even the fire leader drove away, and he didn't dare to run around at will, the fire leader's face was gloomy, and he was afraid of these things, so he gave up the plan to find the entrance, so he had to rest in place and prepare for the next battle.
Five days and five nights of continuous chasing and fighting, so that both tribes were consumed, even the physique of the warriors could no longer support it, and the warriors on the city wall were replaced by the people of the tribe left behind to rest.
Even those half-grown teenagers, who helped transport weapons and materials, transport food and medicinal materials, also took up weapons at special times, and guarded the other three walls to guard the tribe and prevent the enemy's surprise attack.
In the hands of the patrol people is a special bangzi, a bangzi made of empty bamboo tubes, the percussion sound is crisp and ethereal, and it can be heard from hundreds of zhang away, although the effect is not as good as war drums and horns, it can barely be used.
The wounded were taken to the sacrificial square, and the doctor was busy with a few people, treating the wounds, making herbs, and the wounded warriors were so numerous that they were sweating profusely.
Wood Witch released the few remaining abilities on the leader's body, and the severe burns on the leader's body had recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after a short time, only a shallow scar remained, and the leader woke up.
Wu fell......
The wood tribe has been separated from the collection, and the various plants planted in the fields under the mountain can meet the basic needs, and the animal trunk also has a reserve of nearly 10,000 catties, and there are still big fish in the river to catch, so there is no need to worry about food for the time being.
Arrows, stones, wooden spears, flint weapons, stones, and wood are also stockpiled, and there are two acres of medicinal herbs on the top of the mountain, which can support consumption for a long time, and there is no need to worry about the material crisis caused by the siege.
The battle with the Fire Tribe lasted for another three months, and the Fire Tribe launched many attacks, but failed to break through the city walls, at most they rushed to the bottom of the city, and were frantically injured by the soldiers guarding the city, holding stones.
The leader of the Fire Tribe didn't make a move, and the rows of bows and arrows in the city pointed at him all the time, bringing him a strong threat, of course, if he forced his shot, he could also fight against the rain of arrows, but he had to pay a heavy price.
Influencing the rule of the Fire Tribe and threatening his position in the clan, he couldn't make up his mind, and after three months, he left with all the clansmen, and there was not much food for the warriors, and there was not much food for the tribe.
The fire tribe living in the jungle does not have the conditions to develop planting industry, and there are not many animals to raise, and most of the food still depends on hunting, although there is stored food in the tribe, it cannot be maintained for too long.
The leader brought out most of the warriors of the tribe, and the remaining warriors could not meet the hunting needs, and if the food was not enough, the clansmen would starve to death, and the wood tribe would not be able to fight them, and it was obviously extremely unwise to waste manpower here.
Looking at the figure of the Fire Tribe leaving, the Wood Tribe people let out a cheer, but soon, they found that the Fire Tribe did not go far, but began to build a nest in the canopy of the tree in the jungle outside the tribe.
The Fire Tribe has lost a large number of manpower, of course, they will not let go of the Wood Tribe easily, they just gave up the attack, and did not want to leave, they want to occupy the hunting grounds of the Wood Tribe.
In the territory of the wood tribes, take their prey, don't let them hunt, don't let them gather, trap them behind the hills, let them starve to death, and then go in and rob them of their pottery and clothes.
Relying on the defense of the city wall, the wood tribe can barely fight with the fire tribe, but without the city wall, it will definitely not be the opponent of the fire tribe with a large number of people, and the most important thing now is not food, but salt.
If you have a quarrel with the Fire Tribe like this, you must not be able to exchange rock salt with them, and their hunting team runs around outside the tribe every day, killing people when they see them, and even going out to find salt soil has become extremely dangerous.
The salt stored by the tribe for many years is less than 1,000 catties, even if the salt of salted fish and bacon is added, it only maintains the needs of the tribe's clansmen, and the cutting off of breeding and salting can only support a year, what will happen after a year?
Without enough salt intake, the warrior's physical strength will decrease, and when the fire tribe attacks again, the tribe is definitely not an opponent, and the jungle can no longer be counted on, and the wood witch hits the target to the sea on the opposite side.
To reach the sea on the other side, you have to pass through the vast grasslands, where the grass is thick, many of them deeper than people, with herds of cattle and sheep, cheerful galloping horses, and strong and agile deer.
Horns and tendons are the best materials for bow-making, and when tamed, cattle can be used to plough the fields and liberate the tribe's production, horses can be used as mounts to improve the strength of warriors, and sheep and deer can be turned into domesticated meat.
But there are also countless dangers on the grassland, not to mention all kinds of potentially dangerous areas, just those hidden predators, the number is terrifying, close to the grassland traps, a large number of fierce beasts are caught every day.
Therefore, Mu Wu has coveted the grassland for a long time, but he has always felt that it is not the right time, and he has no confidence in his own strength, but now, the Daze that does not know whether it is a lake or a sea has become the last hope of the tribe.
Giving the clansmen six months to recuperate and allow the tired clansmen to recover, Muwu also planned the nearest route, preparing to launch a wide road in the grassland within a radius of thirty miles, leading directly to Daze on the opposite side.
It is expected to be 30 miles long and 10 zhang wide, and its impact is far-reaching, not only to provide a new hunting ground for the tribe, but also to bring a stable supply of salt to the tribe if it is really a sea or saltwater lake opposite.
The specific construction is not considered for the time being, and the first task is to bulldoze the grass in the area, clean up the nearby fierce beasts, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and make sure that it will not grow again in the coming year.
There is too much vegetation in the grassland, and there are too many dangers to burn directly, and if you build a barrier, you will have to spend more manpower and take more risks, and besides, grass is also a resource, which can feed livestock and build pens.
The method adopted by the tribe was to have strong warriors hunt and drive away the nearby beasts, the early warriors followed behind, harvesting grass stalks with flint sickles, and the early warriors carrying stone rakes to dig the root system.
Finally, the mid-term warriors held the stones, smashed the ground, and the special transport personnel continued to load the grass rhizomes, sent them back to the tribe in a wheelbarrow, put them in a special material warehouse, and then returned the same way to continue.
Step by step, the speed is not fast, but the victory is safe, the danger factor is greatly reduced, the leader selected a hundred warriors, began the development of the grassland, hunting, harvesting, digging, field, transportation, each has its own division of labor.
Among the tribes, the Muwu also stopped the soil department of the house, and let them build five warehouses on the mountainside, which stored plants, dried meat and other food, stones, wood, grass, animal skins and other raw materials.
Stone sickles, bone rakes, wheeled carts, back baskets, hunting nets and other tools, stone knives, wooden spears, stone axes, shields, leather armor and other weapons, pottery, clothing, stone tools, bricks, tiles, bamboo and other utensils, caves only store important materials such as salt and medicinal materials.
