Chapter 41: Li Ju of Jiuli
While Zheng Jun was busy treating the wounded, the Jiuxi tribe was also dealing with their own wounded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The casualties of the Jiuxi clan were far heavier than those of the Ba clan, after all, no matter how much they had the cover of a simple wooden shield, they were still in the suppression of the other party's condescending, and the exchange ratio was quite at a loss.
At the rear of the woods behind the Jiuxi army was the camp of the army, and at this time there were nearly 2,000 people in the camp bustling, most of them were old and weak, even if some were young and strong, they looked very thin.
These are all old and weak people from the tribes annexed by the Jiuxi tribe, and most of them come from tribes that were once as neutral as the Wen people. Some of them were treated as slaves entirely, they came from the tribes that had been defeated, and the other part came from members of neutral tribes who had surrendered, with a slightly higher status.
They are mainly responsible for the logistics of the Jiuxi Army, which is equivalent to the civilian husbands in the army in later generations. At this time, they were busy making new wooden bows and arrows.
The Jiuxi people do not have a special mechanism for evacuating the wounded, but are assisted by other fighters, which will undoubtedly weaken the strength of the front line in a short time, but fortunately, now that the battle is over, they are the side with the advantage of troops, and the impact is not too great.
The Jiuxi tribe has a complete witch heritage, and at this time there are also three witches who can deal with the wounded, but these witches can only use very primitive treatment methods, and they have no ability to operate, compared to the medical ability of the Ba tribe, it is obviously thousands of years behind.
However, the medical environment in this era is generally like this, and the Ba people are also hanging with Zheng Jun, a traverser, in order to have a relatively professional battlefield medical system.
Therefore, Khan, the leader of Jiuxi, who inspected and comforted the wounded, was still satisfied with the general treatment of the wounded, at least the ordinary lightly injured were very hopeful of surviving.
After inspecting the wounded soldiers, Khan returned to the rear of the army, where a small platform was simply piled out of earth. The people of this era have far better eyesight than modern times, standing on it, you can observe the whole army, and you can also observe the situation of the Ba tribe more clearly, there are dozens of Jiuxi hunters on the side of the high platform, they are the fastest group of people, used as heralds, and Khan can effectively command the whole army through them.
Not far from the high platform, nineteen minotaurs gathered there, and they pulled the arrows directly from their bodies and threw them on the ground, but they did not see much blood coming out of the wounds of the arrows.
They kept making a strange sound, and the other Minotaur made a similar sound in response, and the sound was quite regular, and it was a language! These Minotaurs seemed to be not only quite intelligent, but also had their own language, and apparently had a considerable degree of civilization.
The minotaur who communicated with them appeared taller and stronger than the others.
He was unarmed and wore fur clothes. The garment was cut and fitted more neatly than the other minotaurs, and the leather coat was covered with a pair of bone armor made from the bones of an unknown creature.
He wears a necklace around his neck, strung with dozens of saber-toothed tiger teeth. His face was indistinguishable from the other minotaurs, but a half-broken horn and a long scar that stretched diagonally across the entire face could be used as his features.
Although he has no weapons, no one who sees him will doubt that he is a great warrior who has been in many battles. The other minotaurs seemed to have a lot of respect for him.
He exchanged words with the other minotaurs for a while, then turned and walked to the high platform, and then he spoke quite fluently!
"Khan, their earthen walls are strong, but they are not as easy to fight as the previous tribes. ”
Khan was not at all surprised that the minotaur could speak human language.
"After all, it was once the most powerful Ba tribe among the three tribes, and it couldn't be defeated without paying a price. Li Ju, my friend, can you send more giants to help? ”
The minotaur, known as Li Ju, spoke in a low voice.
"Khan, the one who saved my life, I will do everything in my power to help you become the most powerful tribal leader here to repay the favor. But the people I sent have returned, and the army of Jiuli has no way to come, and after the leader of the Suiming Kingdom in the east, the Suiren clan, was killed by us, his son Fuxi was very powerful, and united many tribes to fight against us, and now the army of Jiuli has gone to fight with him. We only have my Liju tribe for support. ”
If Zheng Jun heard this conversation, I don't know how surprised he would be. He may just sound familiar, but Fuxi, this is one of the three emperors, the founder of China, and the Chinese use the dragon as a totem from him.
And Li Ju said that Jiuli is also very famous, Jiuli and Huaxia are the same as the name of the tribal alliance, Fu Xi founded Huaxia I don't know how many years, the Yellow Emperor became the leader of Huaxia and the leader of Jiuli, that is, Chi You fought in the Central Plains, and finally the two emperors of Yan and Huang defeated the Jiuli tribe and made Huaxia the lord of the Central Plains.
Legend has it that there are 81 brothers who are the leaders of the 81 branch tribes of Jiuli, and each of them is a bull-headed human body, a copper head and an iron forehead, and has infinite strength. It seems that sometimes the legend is still reliable, and this Nine Dawns is clearly a tribal alliance of the Minotaurs.
Speaking of which, the dispute between Jiuli and Huaxia has existed from the beginning, and I don't know how many years it has been fought by the time of the two emperors of Yan and Huang.
But why did the Liju tribe come to help the Jiuxi tribe? Is it because of Khan's life-saving grace? Or Jiuxi and Jiuli have nine in their names?
"How many people are there in the Liju tribe?"
"There are still one hundred and thirty people in my Liju tribe, and they will all come to help you fight. ”
"Is one hundred and thirty men? is enough, as long as the Ba tribe is defeated, the land beyond ten days' journey north of the river will be yours. ”
But in this era, the human beings were still living in pursuit of water and grass, and most of the tribes were near the Great River, and there was no tribe that had ever made their home there ten days to the north.
However, Khan and Li Ju were very serious about this agreement.
Whatever the reason, in the north, which the Ba people don't know, a team of 130 minotaurs is marching towards the battlefield, will this be an overwhelming force?
Since it was certain that there were reinforcements, and they couldn't attack it for a while, Khan was unwilling to bite the bullet anymore, and the Jiuxi army stopped after trying to attack. They erected a high platform 100 meters away from the Ba people, and not only began to monitor the internal activities of the Ba people, but also asked the minotaurs to throw a few stone spears on the platform, or let the Jiuxi archers shoot a few arrows.
However, these attacks were already very weak at such a distance, and could only play a harassing role, never killing people.
At this time, both sides thought that only they had reinforcements, and time was in their favor, so they went on in a stalemate.
