Chapter 72: All in progress

When Ashin and the others returned to the tribe, although Yan Zheng was mentally prepared, he was still surprised after hearing what happened to them.

What he didn't expect was that the Douwei Society also had such a strong imitation ability, and they actually got the bamboo armor out, and in order to improve the armor rate, they had already equipped a large amount of leather armor.

Needless to say, these leather armors must have been made from the leather that flowed out of Monabu, otherwise they would not have been able to make so many sets of leather armor depending on their level of handling animal skins.

Fortunately, their production capacity is low, and they have not been able to make bamboo armor on a large scale, otherwise it would be a very tricky existence.

And what surprised Yan Zheng the most was that they didn't drill the tip of the horns, and they couldn't produce bamboo armor on a large scale, so they replaced it with leather armor first.

This kind of flexibility is reflected in the savage, which makes Yan Zheng a little uncomfortable.

He guessed that this was why they dared to attack, they must have tested leather armor, and maybe even wore it to fight other tribes.

After the results of the actual battle were good, they decided to seize the opportunity to strike at the two platoons sent out by Monabu.

It's just that the only thing they can't imagine is that times have changed!

So they lost very simply, after all, they were the first tribe in this world to face the iron civilization.

"So, you killed more than 200 of them in one battle?" Yan Zheng asked with a twisted eyebrow.

An San nodded and said, "There are more than two hundred human heads cut off, and some of the heads may also be savages." ”

Yan Zheng got up and sighed, "Twenty-one of our people died and more than forty were injured!" Although they came prepared for this battle, you did not fight well! ”

An San glanced at Lu Wan and explained in a low voice: "Actually, if we hadn't changed our route this time, we might have suffered even greater losses!" The cooperation between our soldiers is good, but stabilizing the array is not immune to casualties! And after the war, I also found that we have too few crossbows! ”

Lu Wan looked at Yan Zheng ashamedly and said, "I have the most people killed in my platoon!" I shouldn't have let them come forward and fight, so they didn't play the role of the array! ”

"I don't blame you this time!" Yan Zheng touched his chin and thought about it and said, "It seems that there must still be a compound bow!" Although the crossbow is powerful, it is more suitable for attacking. When defending, pay attention to the rate of fire! ”

"But if you don't have a crossbow, I'm afraid that if it's far away, you won't be able to shoot through leather armor! And bamboo armor has already appeared, I think we should pay more attention to reconnaissance in the future. Ansan said again.

"You have a point!" Yan Zheng looked at An San and said: "In the future, each platoon will be equipped with a few more scouts, and let special people spy on the enemy and find out the news along the way." This time, too, I underestimated the enemy! ”

"Chief, I see that the enemy already has leather armor this time, and I am afraid that they will make iron again, and the location of our mining is likely to have been exposed! I'm afraid that as soon as they start attacking, they will attack our mining team! Even caravans! Ansan worried.

Yan Zheng was also a little big-headed, he didn't expect that the headquarters of the Douwei Society would use hundreds of people to attack them at one time, which could only show that the combat effectiveness of the headquarters of the Douwei Society had improved.

Thinking of their leather armor, Yan Zheng also knew in an instant, he thought that the development was fast enough, and it was enough to laugh at the rivers and lakes.

But they are a large tribe with a lot of background, and with leather armor, there is a high probability that fewer people can be used to guard the territory and engage in hunting.

So there are more teams to use to run, and there are more teams that can be used to harass.

Harassment is the result that Yan Zheng is most afraid of, which affects the communication of various tribes too much.

But fortunately, more than 200 of them were directly killed this time, and it can be regarded as playing a seventy percent role in the hidden hole cards.

"We don't need to panic, it is appropriate to be lenient with the enemy, but this time they are greatly injured, and they can't make any waves in a short time!"

Ashin had been thinking about it, and he suddenly said, "Miko, I think this time it's specifically for us to collect the savages, and they may also seize the opportunity to concentrate on a single attack!" ”

Yan Zheng frowned, feeling that Ashin's words had some insights in them.

"It's possible! When they saw that we were gathering the wildlings, they naturally felt that our strength would increase again, so they seized this golden opportunity and concentrated their forces to destroy our two platoons and break our plan to gather the wildlings! If it were me, I would do the same! ”

"Because the advantage of the headquarters of the Douwei Society is rapidly being lost, one regional hegemony will not allow another hegemony to grow. And this time to collect these wild people, it is also their last chance, if they can't destroy us, then they can only sit and watch us digest these wild people! ”

An San also said: "It should be like this, after they found that they couldn't break through our battle formation, they immediately attacked these savages!" ”

Lu Wan couldn't think of so many twists and turns, and whispered: "But they can't beat us anymore!" ”

Yan Zheng had a sudden sense of enlightenment, and he sneered and said: "Let Limu take people and start cleaning up the unknown people around him, as long as they are snoopers, they will all be killed!" ”

"The transaction goes on as usual, as if it hadn't happened! If you are mining, reduce the number of times you mine and increase the amount of each mining trip, and take two rows with you each time. ”

"These recovered savages have broken them up, newly organized into four villages, and selected a few suitable clansmen to be the village heads! First, shave their heads and bathe, and after two days of full meals, let them build their own thatched huts. ”

"Let's continue to train the troops, expand the army, and wait for the rice to be harvested, and then find them to settle the account!"

"What about the captives?" Ashin asked.

"Tattoo a totem of Mona on their faces, shave off their hair and put it back!" Yan Zheng sneered.

Ashin nodded, knowing that this was a naked diplomatic humiliation.

After arranging these things, Yan Zheng asked all the soldiers and clansmen to gather and come to the bodies of the fallen soldiers.

He respectfully scrubbed the faces of these people, then took two steps back and said, "Salute to the martyrs who defend the country!" ”

He saluted as he spoke, and after the salute was finished, he said, "This is a ritual I invented, and it is used among our soldiers!" In the future, we will bury the bodies of our comrades who will die in the future, so that their souls can return home! ”

"Salute to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives to defend their homeland and country!" Yan Zheng said again.

An San and Zhang Sanfeng were the first to react and saluted a non-standard military salute.

The rest of the people followed suit, and although they didn't understand the Tao here, they felt that it was a very meaningful thing to give respect to the dead people.

Yan Zheng came to the families of these martyrs again, with a look of exemplary affection, supported his waist and raised his arms and said: "You are all martyrs, your husbands, your sons, and your fathers, who sacrificed for the sake of the country from being invaded by foreign enemies and for the people to be enslaved by foreign enemies!"

Although they have fallen, their souls will always be with them, Shennong will let them go to heaven, and the ancestral spirits are waiting for them at the other end of the Rainbow Bridge! ”

"And you, as martyrs, the country will not treat you badly! In the future, the state will take care of your daily life, and there will be a plaque on your door representing the martyrs! ”

"And you! Soldiers of the country! Fight with courage and fear! If you die in battle, I personally pray for your souls! I will arrange your remains with my own hands, and I will go to your tombstone every year to pay respects, and I will let future generations always remember your sacrifice! ”

"We will be invincible! We will conquer everything! ”

………………

After a rousing speech, the soldiers killed in battle were buried about two kilometers from the territory, far from the water source river and in a beautiful sunny environment.

Yan Zheng personally wrote an inscription and named it Xiangyangdi, which means that after death, he must face the sun!

The move also shook the tribe's original funeral rituals, which threw bodies into the deep forest or burned them outright.

At the time of the burial, Yan Zheng also deliberately asked people to light a few explosive rods to improve the compulsion of this ceremony.

The leader and Wu also had no objections, after they heard about the headquarters of the Douwei Society, they asked Yan Zheng to discuss it, and after knowing that there were countermeasures, what should the two of them do.

Perhaps for these two people, they don't care that Yan Zheng took great pains to take away the military and political power of the tribe.

Yan Zheng also learned from this time that the original leader originally had three sons, but they were all killed in battle.

Therefore, there is no basis for the power struggle in the Mo Nabu, and the appearance of Yan Zheng makes up for the heir.
