Chapter 55: The Quietly Changing Hado
"Warning: You will be punished for your repercussions against predation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Warning: You have lost the loyalty of the 'Shin'ne-Nu' people. ”
"Warning: Your current penalty is +0 for Good Faith and +42990 for Malice. ”
"Your current accumulated good and evil points have met the settlement needs and have begun to enter the settlement stage;
The seventh settlement is underway, please wait;"
Hadu was completely stunned, he had been investigating this lake without an outlet on the shore of the Aral Sea, and suddenly he was pulled into the space of consciousness, and then he saw the word "regurgitation" that he had never seen before. What shocked him even more was that the clansmen actually rebelled. !?
This is something he never imagined, and the loyalty of the clan obtained by the ability to plunder will actually be invalid. Without waiting for Hadu to think about it, the settlement results have come out:
"Your current difficulty level is 13 and your skill level is 12;"
It's strange.,It's a warning when you encounter a backlash.,Why didn't the two levels change?。。
"The impact of the settlement on your environment has already occurred, and note that the outcome of your previous settlement will result in a random change in the environment after that settlement, which has already occurred. ”
Hadu was really anxious, and he hurriedly checked the specific changes in the value of good and evil:
"Plunder and revolt: you have lost the loyalty of your people;
Under the control and instigation of 'Sjal'lo', 'Shin'ne-Nu' was unable to increase food production, and the tribal population began to increase after the improvement of science and technology, which in turn laid the groundwork for food shortages.
During this period, 'Sjal'lo' took charge of the new chieftains, and demanded that the tribesmen reduce the amount of arable land, increase the number of domesticated livestock, expand the hunting area widely, stop cutting down the forests south of the tower, use peat instead of charcoal, remove the mountain guards, and reduce the probability of selecting a guard among the ordinary people without god notes;
Affected by the shortage of food, the tribesmen of the border fortress established a rebel army, exterminated all the new leaders in the city, spontaneously organized water conservancy construction, and increased the local food production capacity in the shortest possible time.
According to statistics, as of the full moon of Gaoyang, a total of 47,829 clansmen were killed in the riot, 12,146 clansmen were seriously injured and permanently disabled, and another 8,322 clansmen were incapacitated, 42,9900 clansmen were still alive, able to work, and voluntarily rebelled against the new leader system, and the number of new leaders and Shenyin rune lineage clansmen was less than 100, of which the 'Sjal'lo' tribe was the mainstay;
In order to put down the rebellion, the new leader of the 'Sjal'lo' tribe, 'Muk'ke-Gijo'on-Sjal'lo', has asked for help from the ancient Egyptian pharaoh, who will send an army of 50,000 slaves;
The Assassins and scouts loyal to the rebels had received the news that the Pharaoh was preparing to attack the steppes, and all the Fall tribesmen were working in full force to prepare and mobilize. ”
Hadu read the situation of the entire line, and the more he looked, the more his heart sank. For thousands of years, he never imagined that his people would betray him, let alone that the tribe he had cultivated would be usurped by the hateful family of ambition "Sjal'lo" - even if they were usurped, they would make the people miserable, and the tribe would finally kill the main inheritors of the technology that Hadu had left to the tribe.
Hado's eyes spewed endless anger, he just came out of the tribe for a short time (compared to thousands of years), the tribe was in chaos, and even this nasty "Sjal'lo" went to the pharaoh for help, didn't they know that this group of pharaohs wearing blue and gold laurels was the people Hadu hated the most. ?
After composing himself, Hadu remembered that there was a considerable abundance of iron ore about 34.5 million steps north-west of the Aral Sea, and if he wanted to rush back to the tribe quickly, it was best to make a big discus throw. He's tamed (not plundered) a herd of wild horses these days, and it's a good idea for them to carry him to the iron mines.
Three days later, in the early morning, Hadu flew in the direction of the tribe at a rapid speed (60 million steps per day) in the newly made discus. The new discus is equipped with many of Hado's new designs, such as the discus itself is composed of two layers of iron shells, in fact, it is more appropriate to call it a "big iron bun", Hadu sits in the middle of the iron shell, and the outside of the iron shell is full of spiral jagged edges, which is used to cut through thorns and thorns, and does not need to slow down when crossing the forest.
In this way, you keep rushing back, running over the forest, digging through the mountains, rivers, lakes, swamps, all without worry.
What he really had to worry about was that when Hadu flew over the sea of blood, he saw from a distance that the slave army had launched an attack on the steppe tribes. Only a few decades later, the technology of warfare in ancient Egypt was revolutionized: chariot archery units were trained in large quantities. These fast units are faster than the hunters (mainly because the fast hunters are killed by their own people), the attack continuity is also very good (350 short arrows and 100 long arrows can be placed on a chariot), the personnel are relatively simple to operate (fixed bows, movable parts for adjusting direction and angle), and four horses (mainly Nile vicuñas) are used at once, which can be described as extremely powerful weapons and equipment in many aspects.
Of course, one of the major drawbacks of this type of bow and arrow chariot is that the entire chariot is made of wood (except for the wheels that are fixed with bronze nails), and the fire resistance is very poor. And the steppe tribes also saw this, and arranged a large pile of firewood drenched with fire oil (high-carbon kerosene produced by simple high-temperature sealing treatment) on the front, and ignited when these chariots rushed to the pile 500 steps in front of the pile. The chariots on the other two flanks began to find a way around the fire, and urgently ordered the infantry in the rear to carry sand and stones to extinguish the fire.
Hadu could only watch from afar, anxious, but unable to step forward: first, he did not know how to deal with his "former" people at this time, and did not know if they would like to see him; second, he was afraid that Pharaoh would have strong predatory powers, and he would be vulnerable to accidents if he rushed forward; third, he did not know the situation in the tribe and the direct and indirect effects of this battle on the tribe.
He felt overwhelmed, so he could only hide himself and hide among the mountains to observe the situation of the battlefield.
Looking at it, Hadu noticed that something was wrong: according to what was written in the consciousness space, Pharaoh should have sent an army of 50,000 slaves, but in terms of the number of enemy troops on the battlefield, there were only 20,000 in the sky, and most of them were only infantry, and the smoke and dust in the field were all created by the rear chariots charging back and forth to create the appearance of a large army attacking. That is, a slave army of 30,000 men made a detour to the tribe from other directions, and the tribesmen knew nothing about it.
As far as Hadu was concerned, there were many ways he knew of to secretly enter and exit the tribe without being discovered, but in the current situation, there were only three routes that were most likely: a secret escape at the end of the cave, which led to the vicinity of the mountains in the Sea of Blood, an emergency climbing route carved out of the mountain fortress along the foot of the mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the watchtower at the top of the mountain, and sufficient weapons and armor were obtained, and between the tower and the border fortress, where the tribe had moved to the heart of the desert, had been converted into a concrete avenue, but few people passed through it (the dead-end road, with mountains at both ends) 。
If you talk about the first route, in fact, the escape route is very narrow, only 3 people can pass side by side, and there are enough clan handles at both ends (even if the original guards are killed, this emergency plan should still be able to be implemented normally), even if the slave army comes in from the sea of blood, it will still be blocked when it comes out of the passage (usually no one will leave, if someone comes, then it must be the enemy); Dry food and the like are very difficult to climb (except for Hado), of course, the most important thing is that this emergency route is behind the enemy's fire, and the enemy will definitely not be able to pass, then only the third route is the most likely, and the road there has a good load-bearing capacity, and it can walk 20 chariots side by side, and it is the rear area of the tribe, which is simply a good breakthrough point.
At this point, Hado immediately took up the "big iron bun" (more appropriately) and flew from the west to the sea, and then made a big bend along the coast to the avenue. While flying Hadu also observed the situation in the vicinity, he found that all the villages along the way were empty, and I don't know whether they were taken by the rebels to meet the slave army, or they were dumped in the riot. The farther you fly, the denser the village becomes, but not a single person can see it, not only that, but all kinds of livestock, birds, and birds can't be seen, and a village is like a dead city.
There is no campfire, no smoke, no laughter from the children of the tribe, and no mourning when a loved one dies. These villages are so silent that I don't know where people have gone, and I don't know if they have returned.
Hado's mood was a little heavy, and his flight was much slower, and after a long time, he came to the avenue.
No one.
There were no clansmen, and no slave army was seen.
Did you think wrong? Should I join the battle immediately and lead my people to repel the Pharaoh's forces? Or should I just run away and leave this group of people who have turned away from me to fend for themselves? Hadu hid between the grass stems, thinking in a daze.
Suddenly, he was awakened by the roar of rolling wheels.
The dust was conspicuous on the north side of the avenue, and Hado could clearly see the hideous smiles and contemptuous attitudes on the faces of the slave soldiers.
He was not wrong, and Hadu suddenly strengthened his belief at this time. In the past thousands of years, he has led his people to embrace peace, create a peaceful environment belonging to the grassland tribes, strive for self-improvement in natural disasters, shine again in unity, return to the grassland, build towers again, expand the territory, multiply the people and breed the clan, inherit the skills of thousands of years, and become the glory of eternity.
He was indeed not wrong, whether it was to bring accurate and efficient language to the tribe, or to search for various crafts to improve the production and life of the tribe, or to suppress the nearby foreign tribes to release the pressure of the tribe's survival, he did nothing wrong.
It may be that he was too carefree in the past and relaxed the management and regulation of the tribe, which caused the tribe to encounter such a big crisis, so that the traitorous villain could take advantage of the situation.
Hadu's eyes burst with passion and vitality that he hadn't seen for a long time, and he lowered the big iron bun to the ground, covered it with grass stalks, and walked in the direction of the avenue alone—he wanted to save the tribesmen from fire and water with his own strength.
The chariots of ancient Egypt were roaring towards the rear of the tribe, and the neighing of horses, the screams of horsemen, and the laughter of archers were incessant. In terms of size, this is the 30,000 men, with horses and chariots in the front, infantry and grain and grass in the back, as well as ritual personnel and clerks.
Facing such a fierce army, Hadu did not immediately meet it head-on, but walked to a boulder next to the avenue, smashed the disguise in front of him with one punch, and walked in. It turned out that the avenue and the bridge used to cross the river were built by Hadu, who took into account the problem of defending against the enemy, and when building the bridge, the bridge was designed to be a structure that "if you pull out the key support columns, the whole bridge will collapse", and this key support column is hidden directly under this boulder - and this, only Hado knows.
Apparently the "Sjal'lo" did not make this step, and since the steppe was surrounded by mountains, the chariots wanted to avoid the entry of the "Falie", either by bypassing the mountains and coming from the vicinity of the border fortress (probably after the battle of the vanguards) or by entering the hinterland of the tribes through this road (the rest of the place was a rushing river that could not be bridged). The bridge on this side of the avenue is more than 4,000 paces long, and it is completely possible to destroy the bridge after all the chariots are on the bridge, so that the enemy can be routed at once and at the same time cut off the path of the opposing infantry. Since the opponent cannot see Hadu (he can see the enemy by observing Konghadu), even those who have the ability to plunder cannot find the target of the plunder, so Hadu himself is relatively safe.
Not only that, but the bridge was designed with the view that once the bridge collapsed and fell into the river, large pieces of bridge debris would block the river and accumulate water at a very high rate. Therefore, after the bridge was built, Hadu ordered the river to be dug down on the other side of the river, so that if the river was dammed, the entire opposite bank would be flooded, and if there were any enemies there, the whole army would be destroyed.
Hadu is not stupid to rush up and repel the enemy, this seems to be heroic, but it is difficult to succeed, and it is even possible that the opponent's predator knows that plundering space will give the ability a hint, and deliberately lures him back to the tribe, then this is a terrible trap.
In any case, reducing the enemy's vital forces is the most critical strategic goal at present, and the elimination of the opponent's forces is not the most important thing. Moreover, on the other side of the river, there were only bushes on the embankment, and there was not even a tree within a thousand steps of the river, so it was impossible to build a temporary pontoon bridge, and I had never heard of anyone going out to fight with a large number of tree trunks. In addition, most of the grasslands are plains, which are not directly related to the Nile, and the ancient Egyptians would not have brought boats with them.
The chariot rushed up the bridge of the avenue as if it were in a no-man's land, and in a dozen breaths it reached the other end of the bridge, and the infantry behind was ready to start on the bridge. Hadu dodged against the key support pillar and kicked it over, and the support pillar with a circumference of three people shattered into several pieces with a "click", and Hadu reflexively rolled to the opposite direction of the evasion position, and then the whole bridge suddenly fell downward, and the whole fell into the river - along with the chariot on the bridge and a small part of the infantry carrying quivers.
The rear of the slave army was so stunned by the sudden break of the bridge that they all stood on the bank of the river and did not dare to move, and soon the rebels of "Sjal'lo" ran to the front of the group, and Hadu heard the other party and the priest arguing. Hadu could probably hear from their words: the priest of the slave army asked "Sjal'lo" why the bridge collapsed, and "Sjal'lo" scolded back that it was strange that the other party had sent too many chariots to the bridge at one time.
Anyway, the two parties were arguing there, of course, they should also understand the current situation, and after arguing for a while, they stopped, looked at the broken bridge and stared, but they didn't know that the river at their feet was rising rapidly, and it was at most 1 arm's length away from the river. The slave army who had fallen off the bridge were wailing and struggling to climb ashore, but the problem was that it was where the current was more rapid, and the powerful current rushed into the dammed area, churning and pulling these poor struggling people back to the bottom.
When the bridge broke, there was a loud and terrifying sound, and after a while, the cavalry of the steppe tribe came to check, and immediately found the trapped slave army on the opposite side, and immediately took out their spears and bows and arrows and began to attack from a distance. The archers in the slave army also showed no weakness and did not hesitate to begin a counterattack. And the cavalry didn't really want to inflict damage on the enemy infantry, but they also saw signs of overflowing rivers, and they just dragged the opponent in place.
The cavalry that came to inquire about the situation began to increase in number, and there were heavy casualties among the slave army, and the priests who accompanied the regiment hurriedly asked the centurion to start withdrawing, but it was too late: the raging river had already overflowed the opposite bank, making the bank very muddy, and it was impossible to walk. In the end, only the priests of Ancient Egypt and some members of the "Sjal'lo" rebel party barely escaped, and the battle for the vanguard was over, and of course the steppe side won a great victory.
After this battle, the steppe tribe sacrificed more than 6,000 people, while the 50,000 slave army of ancient Egypt were basically wiped out, which can be described as a complete victory. But Hadok didn't feel any excitement at all, and he knew that it was time for him to face his people.
He came out from under the boulder, greeted him with the surprised looks of the riders, of course, and immediately greeted him to the gathering place of the present people. Seeing Hadu, the clansmen all had an indescribable expression: they haven't seen each other for 20 years, how to face this "so-called leader", and how to rebuild the relationship between the two sides.
No one knows what to do.
