Leopards and tigers are found in this primeval jungle, and with elephants, these large wild animals rarely attack them.

And because the caravan was specially reported, they were allowed to wear the local special armor, rattan armor. It's not that they are reluctant to equip them with iron armor, but in this jungle, vine armor is more convenient than iron armor.

Not only that, but they were equipped with a variety of weapons, and even bows and crossbows were allowed to equip them with five pays.

However, all the iron parts on the bow and crossbow are specially numbered and not allowed to be exposed, so as to ensure their safety to the greatest extent.

"Brothers, work hard, we're a few miles away, and we'll be back when we rest for two days!" Ning Shan said loudly, Ning Shan was born in a family in Lingnan Dao, so he naturally knew the surrounding environment very well.

Seeing that they had arrived at the station of Xinbu Township in front of them, many people's spirits were also uplifted, and although there were not many people here, I heard that Xinbu had contacted several nearby tribes.

Moreover, these tribes have the idea of settling down the mountain, and they are already very excited, and the population here will inevitably increase rapidly in the future.

As soon as Ning Shan's words fell, there was a sudden sound in the mountains and forests in front of him.

Ning Shan was stunned for a moment, and he immediately said loudly: "Everyone is on alert!" ”

The caravan men immediately reined in the reins of their horses and quickly tied the horses and others together to prevent them from escaping, and everyone gathered together.

As soon as the caravan here was ready, several figures in the mountain forest ahead of them came out of the jungle.

"Is it Captain Ning?" A voice with an accent rang out.

"Is it Amula?" Ning Shan immediately asked.

"It's me, you're here." A man in his thirties, with two men in his twenties, quickly came out of the mountain, and when he saw them, Ning Shan was startled.

The clothes on the two men were torn a lot, and there were obvious blood stains on them.

"What happened?" Ning Shan immediately asked with a serious face.

"We were attacked, and it was Mangbe and Wangbu's people." Amula Expressway.

"Are you sure?" Ning Shan raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, our Xinbu Township was ransacked by them, and there is nothing left in the entire township." Amula said this, her face still full of hatred.

"What's going on?!" Ning Shan's face became serious, because it was Mangbu and Wangbu who were not people who belonged to the Datang tribe.

"That's the case, isn't our new department still responsible for contacting and persuading the residents of many surrounding mountain tribes to migrate down the mountain, and then join our Datang?"

"About twenty-five days ago, about ten days after you left last time, we sent a team of five people, and they contacted a small tribe called the White Mountain Department in front of us, and that tribe was very short of salt, so we brought salt to trade with them."

"But they went out for twelve or three days and didn't come back, and the journey to Baishan Road was four days at most, and ten days back and forth was definitely enough. I was afraid that something would happen to them, so I took someone to look for them myself. ”

"As a result, who knows, when we arrived at the White Mountain Division, we saw the White Mountain Division, which had been burned to the ground, and not only that, but the five-member team we sent out was beheaded, killed, and the body was still tied to a wooden stake. The entire White Mountain Department was also slaughtered. ”

At that time, they also left a word, telling the lackeys of Datang to get out, saying that it was Mangbe's territory. I would have liked to double-check, but who knew they had left someone there, and they just chased us. ”

"A few of us can only retreat quickly, and on the way, we hurried overnight to get rid of the pursuers, but after returning to the new department, we are afraid of sending envoys, after all, the number of men that our new militia team can fight now is thirty or forty, so I will directly evacuate all the villagers."

"Sure enough, on the third day of our evacuation, at least a thousand troops from the Wangbu raided us, and when they saw that there was no one in the township, they burned down all the houses, looted everything, and retreated."

"But we didn't dare to come out, for fear that they would return, until the time was almost up, so I took three people out to look for them along the way." Amula took a deep breath and told everything with hatred on her face.

"Are you sure?" Ning Shan asked seriously.

"I confirm." Amula spoke.

"But weren't Mangbe and Wangbu attached to the Pyu Kingdom (western Burma and eastern Bengal, India) and the Queen's State (Thailand and eastern Burma), respectively? And there is friction between the two countries. Ning Shan frowned.

Both of these tribes were large tribes with a population of more than 30,000 people, and they were also a federation of tribes, with Manbe attached to the Queen's Kingdom and Wangbu to the Pyu Kingdom.

However, they live in the deep mountains and forests all year round, and even the Kingdom of Bi and the Queen Kingdom cannot completely control them, but they are indeed attached to these two countries, after all, many of their things have to be purchased from these two countries.

"I don't know." Amula shook her head.

"I know, Wang Er, Li Dao, you two quickly organized people to be vigilant, Xiaoba, pen and ink." Ning Shan said loudly.

"Mubulin, Ginnick, you two go together." Amula commanded directly.

The others went, but Ning Shan quickly took the pen and ink brought by a young man and began to write. Amula is the captain of the local militia of the new department, and he was originally the captain of the hunter team of the new department when the new department was not attached to the Tang Dynasty, and was responsible for protecting the cottage.

Although there were strange things, it was not his responsibility, all he had to do was to report what Amula had said quickly, and their caravans roaming the border area had this authority.

Soon, Ning Shan finished writing, he directly wrote two copies, put them in two small bamboo tubes, and then handed them to the two strong guards in the caravan and said directly: "You two lead the four strongest motorized horses in the caravan, send this document to Pu'er County, and tell the local garrison commander that it may be an eight-hundred-mile expedited situation, and deliver it to Shangguan as quickly as possible." ”

"In addition, tell them that the new ministry needs military support here."

"Yes!" The two of them took the bamboo tube and quickly put it into their arms, turned around and ran away directly.

"Captain Ning, there's no need for this." After they left, Amula scratched his head and said, although he was full of hatred for the enemy who had killed his enemy, but at this time, he suddenly had to contact the army of the Tang Dynasty, and he felt that it was a bit of a fuss.

Conflicts like this had been a regular occurrence between their tribes before, and some of the cottages had feuds with each other.
