Chapter 197: The moon is dark and the wind is high
Although it was dark, both sides did not relax their vigilance.
According to the habit of black feathers, doing their hands in the early hours of the morning is their favorite thing to do, whether it is attacking Teng Snake last year or fighting the kite and bear tribes this year, they are all picking this time.
If today's action hadn't been discovered in advance, Wu Yu probably would have done it at that time.
Fortunately, the weather has been pretty good recently, even at night, you can see the situation on the open ground through the moonlight, and occasionally there are dark clouds covering it, and there are a lot of bonfires raised by black feathers and snakes.
Not to mention the bright bonfires near the snake, at least it is very difficult for both sides to take large-scale action.
Although only a small number of people were left to watch from behind the wall, no one went directly back to the house, after all, most of the houses were still some distance away from the wall, especially if they wanted to get out of the house, it would take time.
So except for the children who returned to the house closest to the wall to rest, everyone else rested on the spot, around the bonfire, and the animal skin was covered, but it was barely a rest, but fortunately, the temperature was not too low, although the conditions were poor, but it was not a big problem.
At least this is better than in the wild, with a fence and no wind, compared to the people of the Black Feather Tribe, everyone can naturally get better rest.
After today's battle, now everyone will not be as nervous as before, it is time to eat, to rest.
Although the pressure is still not small, it is obviously unrealistic for Black Feather to attack Teng Snake with small casualties.
However, the straw that Wu Yu piled up around was obviously of great use, although Song Xuan roughly guessed the idea of the dark clouds, he could only watch them move, at this time, the moon was dark and the wind was high, could he destroy it, this was also the most likely time.
But the enemy's blockade is too tight, not only some people stand in place and stare at Teng Snake, but even send a few people to patrol non-stop, which not only makes the people of the Black Feather Tribe more attentive, but also makes the pressure on Teng Snake's side even greater.
It wasn't until the second half of the night that the enemy's surveillance was a little lax, and it was estimated that there was no superfluous action on Teng Snake's side, and it was very late, so the patrol was canceled.
Song Xuan's idea is very simple, that is, to send someone to find a way to set fire to the haystack in the distance, of course, the best possibility is to solve it even in the rice field, so it is very difficult to replenish it later.
But it's also very difficult, after all, just this side, there are more than a dozen people staring at it, although they all look drowsy, but if the movement is too big, it is easy to attract attention.
"What do you think of this, oracle?"
Looking at the two rows of teeth that were particularly bright in the dark night, Song Xuan also felt a little funny, at this time, Shi Yong used charcoal ash to smear all over his body, completely turning into a black man.
Although it is lit by moonlight and a campfire, it is relatively difficult to attract the attention of enemies if you lie on the ground in the dark.
"Hahaha~"
"Alright, stop laughing!"
In order to ensure the convenience of movement, but there is no trace of it, and there is a shield that is also dyed black on the back, which still looks a little funny.
Song Xuan's idea was to let him take advantage of the fact that the enemy was a little lax and sneaked over quietly, throwing the prepared fire into the haystack.
As long as they don't react for a while, they can quickly ignite it, at least these grasses were also moved by the Wuyu tribe with great effort, and burning them can also torment them.
Although there is a relatively big risk in doing this, Song Xuan also sees that there are no archers among the people who are keeping vigil, even if they are discovered, as long as Shi Yong can run a little faster, he is not very sure of being attacked by the enemy, after all, it is still night.
"Make the fire smaller!"
Song Xuan was waiting for an opportunity at this time to make Shi Yong as easy to expose as much as possible.
Fortunately, God helped, and before he could wait, a large dark cloud obscured the moon.
"Brave, quick, be careful!"
Seeing Shi Yong carefully climb out of the gap in the wall, the whole action did not attract the attention of the enemy, Song Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then watched him move slowly.
If he didn't know that Shi Yong had indeed turned out of the tribe, even Song Xuan might not have been able to accurately find Shi Yong crawling on the ground in such a dim situation.
Although it was not eye-catching, Shi Yong didn't dare to climb too fast, after all, his body was just rubbed on the ground with burned charcoal, and it fell off quickly, even if he usually didn't look white, but in this case, it was easier for others to find.
The location where the Wuyu tribe stacked the haystacks was about seventy or eighty meters away from the Teng Snake.
It was not easy for Shi Yong to climb over safely.
Halfway through the climb, there was movement in the forest ahead.
Then Wu Yu started a new round of patrols, which suddenly put Shi Yong's situation into a very embarrassing situation, if he continued to climb forward at this time, the risk of exposure would be even greater, and he was a little unwilling to retreat, after all, he had already climbed half of it.
The people who had been taught the black feather no longer fished, and the patrolling people came in waves, although there were only one or two people at a time, but the frequency was quite high, and there was hardly much space, and the dozen or so people who were in charge of standing guard were also cheered up, and they were no longer as sleepy as before.
Half an hour passed, Shi Yong only moved forward five or six meters, according to this progress, the conditions behind are becoming more and more difficult, even if it is impossible to climb until dark, it is impossible to complete the task safely, and then I saw Shi Yong waving his hand backwards, this is the signal that Song Xuan agreed with him before.
That is, if the attempt to sneak in is unsuccessful, then directly try to throw the torch over, and then Shi Yong throws it at the haystack, whether it is successful or not, it can be regarded as an attempt.
Although I also know that the certainty is not great, but it can only be like this at this point, if Shi Yong is allowed to climb forward, it will put it in a dangerous situation, and it is not cost-effective to lose a general in order to burn a haystack.
After all, it has reached more than forty meters, and it is still very difficult to throw wood directly, and it is even more difficult to ensure that the torches fall steadily around Shi Yong, so now these torches are specially made by Song Xuan.
The main body is the javelin commonly used in the tribe, Song Xuan asked Shi Ban to polish the tail a little thinner, and wrapped several layers of animal skin on it, although it is thinner than ordinary torches, but it is easier to throw.
"Kite, it's time to throw it!"
"Silk! Oracle! ”
Shi Meng is also responsible for the north, and the task of throwing javelin torches falls on the head of Iris, although other places may still need to be further studied, but in throwing javelins, it is no worse than Shi Meng and others.
At the same time, in order to ensure reliability, Song Xuan also let Shui Yun and several javelins in the tribe throw well, and at the same time throw them around Shi Yong's front.
Seeing that Shi Yong had turned his face to the side, and at the same time, it was estimated that in order for everyone to be able to identify its location more clearly, Shi Yong also specially showed his teeth.
Song Xuan didn't delay, and when he saw that two people happened to walk by, he said to a few people:
"Throw!"
I saw a few javelins with fire, and they landed beside Shi Yong in an instant, and one of them happened to be caught by him empty-handed.
Before the enemy could react, Shi Yong took the first step to stand up and threw the javelin in his hand directly into the haystack not far away.
"Fire !!"
"People!!"
Although there was only Shi Yong alone, it caused a lot of movement, and the people in Wuyu were in chaos all of a sudden.
But as soon as the sentry man reacted and was about to rush towards Shi Yong, there was only one javelin left beside Shi Yong, and when he saw that the enemy had already rushed towards him, he threw it out directly regardless of whether he had the right head to pull it out or not.
Then he spread his legs and ran towards the tribe, because of the suddenness of the incident, the people of the black feather didn't seem to remember to use the weapon in their hands, and when they reacted, Shi Yong was only about twenty meters away from the tribe, and it was a little dangerous for them to rush forward no matter how strong they were, most of the people had seen the weapons of the Teng Snake, so they rushed directly to the vicinity of the Teng Snake, and it was probably difficult to go back.
Seeing that the pace of the enemy's pursuit slowed down, Shi Yong also twisted his butt very coquettishly, but the moonlight was relatively dim, and the buttocks were still completely black, but it was not conspicuous.
As soon as Shi Yong ran under the wall, the enemy in the forest quickly drilled out a lot of people, all holding torches in their hands, obviously frightened by the reaction of the people who were in charge of guarding before.
Seeing that Shi Yong had returned to the tribe safely, the few people chasing him had no choice but to give up.
"How's it going?"
However, although Shi Yong moved quickly, the effect did not seem to be obvious, a total of seven javelins were thrown at him, only five fell around him, and two of them were extinguished when they were thrown over, and after Shi Yong tossed three javelins, two more were extinguished, and finally only one remained burning and was thrown into the haystack.
The effect of this root is okay, and it quickly ignited the surroundings, but as soon as it was burned, it was discovered by the people of the black feather.
Then a group of people went up to extinguish it, that is to say, Shi Yong tossed this time, and in the end nothing fell, and the biggest result was to toss Wu Yu.
All the people who originally went into the forest to rest came out, and the dark clouds thought that the Teng Snake wanted to take advantage of the night to sneak attack or run away, only to know that there was only one person, in addition to reprimanding a few people who were in charge of stalking, it was a little regretful, after all, if the Teng Snake could be lured out, they would not have to pay too much damage to attack.
Just when everyone felt that this time it didn't play a big role, Shi Yu on the side came to Song Xuan and said in a low voice:
"Divine envoy, the two people on the other side of the straw seem to be Shi Feng and Shi Xi"
“!!”
Shi Feng and Shi Xi were the same people who were in charge of keeping an eye on Wu Yu before, and because they couldn't return to the tribe in time, they hid in the forest on the spot.
Song Xuan looked in the direction of Shi Yu's finger, and sure enough, there was something wrong with the two of them, although their eyes were not as good as Shi Yu's, but both of them were holding a burning wood in their hands, which also showed the way, and at the same time put one hand across their chest, as if they had put their thumbs up, this posture was not common among the surrounding tribes, and Teng Snake also began to use it after Song Xuan came.
The most important thing is that the two of them also connected their arms, which are obviously different from the people of the surrounding Black Feather tribe.
This was still a path that Song Xuan had never envisioned, and he was only worried about the safety of a few people before, and he didn't think of letting a few people completely penetrate the enemy.
It may be a little dangerous during the day, but at this time, after all, it is night, and both eyesight and visibility have decreased a little, not to mention the large number of people in the Black Feather Tribe, just on the south side of Teng Snake There are more than a hundred people plus the Wolf Tribe and others, and it is impossible for everyone to know each other.
