Chapter 29: Counting without a Fight
Five days into the training, a drizzling rain began to fall in the sky.
This rain is heavier than the previous rains, and the temperature is also rising in the past few days.
The rainwater that continued to gather formed a fast-flowing silver belt on the tribal land that had hardened the ditches.
And on the flat ground divided by these silver belts, two teams wearing bamboo armor are attacking each other.
They were both armed with stone axes and spears, and both sides were trying to open each other's formations.
Raindrops fell on their bamboo armor, and as they waved their weapons, splashes of water broke through the rain curtain.
Yan Zheng stood under a simple animal skin umbrella and watched, he felt that although the two teams still looked chaotic, they already had some rules.
Basically, you can know how to advance and retreat, and you already know how to make up for and use the defenses of your peers.
This caused the two teams to keep chopping, but they were always a little anxious.
To break this situation, it must be the physical exhaustion of one of the parties. Or one side suddenly has a weapon made of iron!
Yan Zheng suddenly felt that from the moment this team was born, an era had come to an end.
In front of the bamboo armor, the stone tool can only be used as a stone.
Dealing heavy damage to the Armored Man requires the Wielder to exert enough force.
This should be placed in the battle, and the side wearing armor is simply a one-sided slaughter against the side without armor.
"No wonder the ancient dynasty forbade armor and couldn't help bows and crossbows!"
After looking at it for a while, his eyes were once again attracted by a teenager who had frequently lit up his eyes in the past few days.
The reason is also very simple, although this teenager is not the bravest, he is very keen.
He understood Yan Zheng's instructions very well, and during the battle, he was always observing the situation, and almost seized several opportunities.
Yan Zheng nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand to stop the sparring.
He walked up to the boy and said, "What's your name?" ”
"Hui Shenzi, my name is Anshan."
"Very good, very energetic!" Yan Zheng was satisfied with a pheasant feather symbolizing the captain and inserted it into his helmet and said, "You will be the captain of the third team in the future!" ”
An San saluted excitedly: "Thank you, Son of God!" ”
A trace of disappointment flashed on the faces of the rest of the young men, since Yan Zheng said that he wanted to choose the captain of the third team, they were all working hard, hoping that this title would fall on their heads.
After all, after becoming the captain, they can get the qualification to eat more salt, and this temptation is very big for them.
Yan Zheng saw it in his eyes, and in order to appease these people, he encouraged: "Don't be discouraged if you don't choose, there will be a next time, and when the tribe grows bigger, each of you can lead a team!" ”
"When the time comes, everyone will have an iron knife and an iron axe, and everyone will have ten wives! You can have endless salt! ”
After listening to this, the young men all smiled, they have always taken Yan Zheng's cakes seriously.
After Yan Zheng saw that the atmosphere was mobilized, he divided the 125 young men into three teams and began to train the three teams to attack together.
This time, because of the foundation of these days, they quickly became familiar with this type of attack, and they could also understand how to use the two wings to advance.
Although Lu Wan and Anai reacted a little slower, they were very qualified as two wings.
The bravery of the two of them can completely help the whole team to open up the situation.
After several trainings, Yan Zheng satisfactorily disbanded the team in the rain, leaving the three captains.
Today he wants to teach these people a completely new thing, and that is to count without a fight!
"Limu has figured out some of the situation of the West Naibu these days, and today we will formulate a combat plan!" Yan Zheng said as he led the three of them into the big thatched house.
In the big thatched hut, the leader and the witch were already waiting, looking at a simple sand table in a daze.
Limu was roasting meat on the side, holding a small iron knife in his hand, which was rewarded to him by Yan Zheng in recognition of his ability to spy on the military!
Yan Zheng asked everyone to sit down around the sand table, picked up a bamboo stick and said, "This is a sand table I made, which simply shows the situation of the West Naibu." Like us, the West Naibu is a stockade-like territory, but their walls are higher, but they can be easily climbed over, Riki said. And its walled gate is the same as ours, blocked with a few logs, so it is not difficult to break through. However, it has two gates, one in front and one in the back. ”
"Riki, tell me about the specific situation of the West Naibu!"
Riki stuck the knife on the barbecue and said with a smile on his white teeth: "I looked around the West Naibu for three days and found that there are two hunting teams in the West Naibu, one goes to the hunting grounds near the Black Forest, and the other likes to go to the hunting grounds close to the tribe. They usually leave early in the morning and return to the tribe in the evening, and those who go to the Black Forest do not return until a day later. ”
"There aren't many people left behind in the tribe, but after they hunt once, they don't have to hunt again for three days! And some of them are responsible for guarding the road to Mount Kinabalu, and whenever they see a large number of people from other tribes, they will immediately gather a hunting party that is hunting nearby. ”
Yan Zheng nodded, what made him speechless was that Limu didn't have a concept of numbers at all, so he didn't know that the hunting party was more numerous.
But this is a minor problem, just know that the Sinai Department will divide the troops.
The strategy that Yan Zheng is preparing to implement is called, concentrate superior forces to fight a war of annihilation, let it come a few ways, and I will go all the way.
"Everyone's got it, right? The weakest time for the Sinaibu was after both hunting teams had left. So what we have to do is to destroy the hunting party that went to the Black Forest first. Yan Zheng pointed to a stone that symbolized the hunting team.
The leader frowned and said, "Why don't you attack their territory first, in the hunting grounds, they can escape quickly, our armor is not good to fight them." ”
Yan Zheng said with a smile: "Attack their territory, they will gather back the nearest hunting team, and we will face more people." And if the territory is attacked, their hunting party outside may go into hiding, ready to take revenge on us, which is extremely disadvantageous to us. ”
"Therefore, the first priority in this battle is not to attack their territory and rob them of their supplies, but to kill as many of their tribe's most combat-effective young men as possible. As long as the West Naibu is completely weakened, they will not pose a threat to us, and we will be able to solve the problem once and for all. ”
"And Riki told me that after a day of hunting in the hunting grounds, they would sleep and rest in one place. That's the best time for us to attack, we can surround them first, and then slowly encircle them. ”
The leader nodded thoughtfully, "You have a point! ”
"And what about after you wipe out one of their hunting parties?" Lu Wan asked.
Yan Zheng pointed to the leader and said: "Of course we are attacking their territory, but we are not really attacking, but letting their other hunting team return to defense, and we ambush them on the way back to their defense!" Once we've cleaned them up, we'll be able to attack their territory! ”
A smile appeared on Ana's face, and Lu Wan scratched his head and wondered why he was doing this.
An San has been looking at the sand table silently, with a little coldness in his eyes.
"Then what do you think the territory of the West Naibu should be fought?" Yan Zheng asked.
Anai smiled: "If we destroy their hunting party, we only need to attack together from the front and back, and the warriors of our tribe will definitely be able to kill them all!" ”
Lu Wan slapped his thigh and said, "That makes sense, when the time comes, I will take a team of people to prevent them from escaping." ”
Yan Zheng smiled bitterly, looked at An San and said, "An Shan, what do you think?" ”
"I think we should block the front and back gates of the Sinaibu and wait for them to come out to fight. If they don't dare to come out and fight, we will push over little by little, and after taking the wall, we will kill them with bows and arrows and bamboo spears! Ansan pondered.
Yan Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "An San is right, we can't fight with the West Naibu like trapped beasts, and we have to prevent them from escaping over the wall." We don't have a lot of manpower, and only by causing chaos in the West Neck Department can we eliminate all the people in the West Neck Department as much as possible! ”
Everyone nodded after hearing this, and they did a deduction before the battle, which they had never done before, but they all felt that it would be of great benefit to the battle to figure out how to do it.
"Okay, I've said the ideal situation, let's talk about what to do in case of an emergency. For example, instead of destroying the hunting party, we let them return to their territory! What if we lose in the hunting grounds? What if the West Naibe has a weapon that we don't know about! ”
