Three days later, when the old witch arrived, he had set up a tent and a fence around the lake, and was ready to camp for a long time, and the warriors waited for the main tent, but he did not go immediately, but walked around the lake.

He was sitting in a newly built wheelchair, Lin Lin was pushing him behind, in front were Mu You and Mu Yu, behind were Mu Ling and Lin Tuo, and the first thing he saw was the field by the lake, and there were only a few single seedlings left in the flying soil.

According to the old witch's instructions, several warriors carefully dug up the remaining plants and brought them to him, including sweet potatoes and potatoes that the tribe had, and three crops that the tribe did not have.

White potatoes, carrots, local melons, sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes are not only different in color, but also have a shorter growth cycle and a heavier sweetness, which is suitable for raw eating and poorly cooked, while sweet potatoes are poorly eaten raw and suitable for cooked food.

The tribe has carrots and white radish, but the carrot is missing, the other radishes are more spicy, but the carrots are sweet, and it is good to eat raw, and it is more helpful for the eyes, which other radishes do not have.

The soil melon is also very good, sweet and crisp, more suitable as a fruit than grain, and has a lot of medicinal properties, can help pregnant women produce milk, after a little inspection, the old witch let the warriors collect it and cultivate it properly.

It was also a small harvest, the old witch was in a good mood, and Mu Ling asked: "Wu, the Qing tribe crossed the river on a raft and went to the island on the lake, there are big fish in the lake, we can't cross it, what should we do?"

"There are big fish, so how did they live?" said the old witch with some surprise.

"I don't know, maybe it's something else. Mu Ling was also puzzled, originally she thought that the big fish just looked fierce and would not hurt people indiscriminately, so she tied up the seriously injured prisoners of war with a single wood and tested them on her behalf.

Before he left the shallows, he was divided up by the surging fish, and the hope of crossing the river was also broken, and the wood witch asked, "Have you tried the beast repellent grass, is it useful for water beasts?"

"There are some uses, but the beast repellent grass that can be carried is insufficient, and I didn't expect such a big lake, so I have sent people back to the tribe to get it. "Mu Ling replied, in the jungle, the beast repellent grass is less useful, and a small amount is brought as a precaution.

Back and forth, it takes a lot of time to get from here to the tribe, not to mention more than half a year, the old witch doesn't have much time, and frowned: "How many packs of beast repellent grass are left?"

"Six hundred packs. Mu Lingdao.

The scope of influence of animal repellent grass is about one zhang in diameter, one zhang wide and two zhang long ordinary rafts, which need six bags of support, six hundred packs, that is, one hundred rafts, and a raft can carry thousands of pounds of weight.

The double-decker raft that has been transformed by the Wooden Waiting Department can safely carry a weight of 2,000 catties, and the degree of solidity is also higher, but with weapons and equipment, it can also ride up to eight soldiers at the same time, and only 800 people in 100 planes.

Eight hundred warriors, even if they are all flesh and blood warriors, if they want to defeat the entire Qing tribe without knowing the truth, is there any difference between looking for death? The old witch thought about it for a while and found the most effective way: "Use a double-decker raft." ”

"Double-decker raft?" Mu Ling was puzzled, seeing the old witch stretching out his hand, he hurriedly handed over the pen and paper, the old witch took the charcoal and cardboard, and soon, the image of a raft appeared on the paper.

The appearance is very simple, that is, two double-decker rafts are spliced together to form a square raft two zhang wide and two zhang long, and if it is changed to such a way, each double-decker raft can carry sixteen warriors at the same time.

The key point is that only four bags of animal repellent grass need to be hung on the four horns to protect the entire raft, and six hundred bags of animal repellent grass can supply one hundred and fifty rafts, and the number of warriors to carry is two thousand four hundred.

Mu Ling's eyes widened, but it didn't take long for him to notice the problem, pointing to the location in the center and asking, "In this case, it shouldn't be possible to protect here, right?"

"Before you go into the water, turn it over, tie it here, and then put the side with the animal repellent grass tied into the water. The old witch used the method of painting to signal to her.

Not only the wood spirit, but the others also reacted and were dumbfounded, is this okay? Tie another bag in the middle, although it will increase the consumption, the safety will be greatly improved, and the final risk will disappear.

Several people discussed for a while, feeling that this method was very practical and convenient, and they became more and more excited, and Mu Ling even introduced more ideas.

I want to build a double raft with eight packs of beast repellent grass, a quadruple raft with thirteen packs of beast repellent grass, a six-pack raft with eighteen packs of animal repellent grass, and a nine-pack raft with twenty-five packs of animal repellent grass...... Or just build a big boat to accommodate all the warriors.

But the old witch shook his head and told her the disadvantages, that the raft built in this way was not fast and flexible enough, and the power to control was more expensive and unrealistic, so it gradually discouraged her enthusiasm.

Subsequently, he asked again: "How many tribesmen are there in the Qing tribe on the island? How many guards are there, how much grain is stored, and how long is the salt? Do you know?"

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know, but Mu Ling immediately said that he would immediately ask the soldiers to ask those prisoners of war, and the old witch nodded and pointed to the lake in the distance: "Is the lake salty or light?"

"Salty!" said this, but everyone said in unison, obviously they had understood, and when they first discovered the problem, they were also surprised, they had never seen a saltwater lake, and they were very surprised by this.

Isn't it only the sea water that is salty? How can the lake water also be salty? Salty means that there will be no shortage of salt, the old witch heard this, and was a little silent, thinking of the two causes of the saltwater lake.

One is the soil problem, the other is the sea below, he asked Mu Mang to go down to see if it is feasible, after a while, Mu Mang went back and forth, and replied: "The bottom of the lake is very deep, and it is connected to the ditch below, and it is impossible to pass." ”

The old witch's face was a little solemn, the situation of Tonghai Lake was much worse than that of the saltwater lake, and if it was connected to the ocean below, the fish would be extremely abundant, and if you wanted to trap the Qing tribe with food, it would not work.

In this way, he can only pin his hope on Tamsui, if there is no Freshwater on the island, the Qing tribe will inevitably not be able to survive, and he will still have to surrender to them, then the problem is much simpler.

"Prepare to shout at the island tomorrow and persuade them to surrender. The old witch looked at Mu Lang and commanded, and Mu Lang clasped his fists and saluted: "Obey." ”

......

For the final battle, the Mu Hou Department prepared for two months, during which Mu Lang shouted to the other side every day, but there was no response from the other side, and the soldiers were also hurrying to ask for information from the prisoners of war.

The mouths of the prisoners of war were quite hard, but the torture of the Hou Department was even harder, from the iron bones at the beginning to the later kneeling and begging for mercy, it only took a short time to ...... the clansmen, soldiers, and food And so on all the clean.

Combined with their confessions and the harvest of the army, the remaining Qing tribesmen on the island should have close to six thousand, including two thousand warriors and five ability warriors, two of whom are early and three are mid-stage.

There are three witch disciples, the green witch is the pinnacle of flesh and blood warriors, the tribe has a reserve of grain, the specific amount is not clear, there are more than 1,000 head of animal husbandry, they can use harpoons and fishing nets to catch fish, and they can also dry and refine sea salt.

The most unfortunate news is that there is a living spring on the mountain of the island, bubbling and providing plenty of fresh water, and if there is no accident, the Qing tribe can be self-sufficient on the island, no wonder there is no fear.

And the secret recipe to drive away the beast was not asked in the end, it is said that it was in the hands of the young witch for generations, and other high-level people, including the leader, did not know about it, and the tribesmen were greatly disappointed.

Even the raft was made, and there was plenty of wood in the jungle, which was no stronger and more durable than ironwood, at least barely able to make do, and anyway, it didn't ask for much corrosion resistance, and it would be enough to hold on until the team crossed the river back and forth.

More than 600 packages of animal repellent grass were made, 80 rafts, 10 4 rafts, 3 9 rafts, plus weapons and equipment, which could carry 2,300 people, with double-layer logs, tied with hemp rope, strong enough.

The people who went out on the expedition were also chosen, first of all, the ability warriors, only one Mu Mang was left, and he stayed by the lake to take care of the old witch, and the old witch was not brought, and it was not good on the shore, let alone in the water?

Flesh and blood warriors were also brought, archers, crossbowmen, spearmen, shield soldiers, sword and axe soldiers, and heavy infantry, all of which were selected to bring stronger warriors, but unfortunately they did not bring sailors, otherwise they could still come in handy.

In addition to the flesh and blood warriors, the rest are all the pinnacle of qi and blood warriors, and the equipment soldiers only brought twenty, two catapults, and two giant ballistas, which are relatively narrow and have limited carrying capacity, so they can only bring so much.

Tree soldiers can also be brought, the black iron wood is too heavy to float, but you can walk at the bottom of the lake, although the lake is very deep, it is only two or three miles, the deepest place, it is only five or six miles, in addition to a few trenches.

The control range of the wood is ten miles in a radius, and it will be limited in the water, and it can also affect the width of eight miles, except for a few trenches, where can it go? The trenches are deep enough, but the width is limited, and you can lie down.

The army marched out, and the soldiers stepped on the raft, and the black iron and wood by the lake also moved, and walked to the bottom of the lake one after another, the oars swayed, and the raft slowly left the shore of the lake and set off towards the island at the end of the sight.

The wind suddenly rose, the canvas on the raft swelled, and the flood surged, driving the raft to move forward rapidly, Mu Yu and Lu Ze, and at the same time released their abilities to help the raft move forward, and the speed of the originally slow fleet skyrocketed at this time.

Under the joint operation of the two, the lake, which had just been calm, instantly became windy and rolling, and they were all mid-stage warriors, with incomparably sufficient physical strength and abundant ability reserves.

The fleet rode the wind and waves, the rapids braved, and the speed increased from ten miles per hour at the beginning to thirty miles per hour, an increase of more than two times.

The whole lake, too, was only a hundred li, and from the lake to the island, forty li at most, and in less than half an hour the fleet was far away from the shore and into the center, where there was no need to paddle anymore, but to grasp the side of the boat.

Fluttering in the wind, such a taste, is not pleasant, but the warriors are not landlubbers, there are large lakes in the tribe, and the tribesmen have basically rowed through the water, swam and swam over the boat, so as not to affect the state of battle.

After smashing and crushing, the beast repellent grass that invaded the water played a role, exuding a breath that made the water beasts repel, lingering in the waters of Fang Yuanzhangxu, and the big fish along the way smelled the smell and avoided it.

While baring his teeth at the warriors on the raft, he hurriedly wagged his tail and got out of the "polluted" waters, without any water beasts, willing to stay in that area, far away from the raft fleet.

Seeing the schools of fish under the surface of the water, far away from the raft, the warriors were relieved, and few people really understood the effect of animal repellent grass, after all, the sensory organs of people and fish are different, and the same taste and feeling are also different.

The effect of beast repellent grass is to use the foul smell to disperse the underwater river beasts, for the water beasts with low intelligence and weak strength, they only know how to avoid harm, and they will leave subconsciously, and they are invincible.

But for some big guys, it's quite dangerous, because animal repellent grass often means provocation and hostility for them, they are more powerful, and they have more temper, and what they don't like, smash it!

Deep in the ditch at the bottom of the lake, a pair of incomparably large vertical pupils suddenly opened......
