Chapter 334: Shelter

Traitors or something, one of the most hateful creatures in the world. Even if it is a strong fortress, as long as it is broken through from the inside, it can only end with hatred. Such examples abound in the history of mankind, and there is no shortage of such people in any country or nation.

Mulla was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly asked about the specific situation, Tang Cun glanced at him and told him all the information he had discovered.

It turned out that although the three tribes here were temporarily united, the grudges between each other could not be completely resolved in a short period of time. Now under pressure from the outside world, I have to let go of my past grievances, but the inside is not monolithic, and some unpleasant things often happen.

Because of these things, the leaders of the three parties held several meetings. In the end, it was decided that everyone would go their separate ways, divide their own defensive areas, and each take its own responsibility. Originally, this was also a way, everyone in their respective places, not seeing each other, and they could get along peacefully.

Who knows, in one of the tribes, there is an ambitious guy who has long coveted the position of the leader. There was no chance before, and this person could only endure it, and I don't know when, this person quietly got in touch with those mercenaries from outside.

The night before, this man found an opportunity, united with those mercenaries, and suddenly attacked the tribal leader, killing the leader on the spot. This person is very deep in the city, and he is usually very good at winning people's hearts and attracting a lot of people.

With the help of those foreign mercenaries, all the people of the original leader were arrested. Those die-hard people, not one of them remains, kill them all, and the rest of the wall grass. He was temporarily imprisoned.

Due to careful planning, what happened inside this tribe was the two neighboring tribes. I don't know. Early the next morning, the man assumed the guise of a tribal leader. Invite the leaders of the other two tribes to come over and discuss things, wanting to solve the problem without bloodshed.

During this time, the leaders of the three tribes would often gather together to discuss various matters. So, those two chiefs. There was no suspicion at all, and it soon came this way.

It was also fate, Mula's father, with a few henchmen, drove here in a car. Halfway down the road, the car suddenly broke down, and they had to leave one person to repair the car, and the other people got out of the car and walked.

The leader of another tribe did not see this as such. Arriving at the meeting on time, as soon as he entered, he noticed that something was wrong. It stands to reason. As the convener of the meeting, the tribal leaders here, if they don't say anything to greet themselves, at least come over in advance. It is impossible to let yourself come all the way over, and you have to wait for him in turn.

Nothing like this had ever happened before, and the leader immediately became suspicious. So he asked the people next to him where their leader was, and why he hadn't come yet. The people who appear here. It's all the traitor's men, and they're all in a mess. Just wanted to delay time, and this leader saw some flaws.

The leader was very alert. When he found out that something was wrong, he didn't show his face. After staying for a while, I made an excuse, saying that I had a very urgent matter at home and wanted to rush back to deal with it. After a few casual words, this leader and his men wanted to leave here.

Seeing that the matter had been revealed, the traitor had no choice but to act in advance, and after a fierce battle, both sides were killed and wounded. The leader was unlucky and was killed on the spot, but he had one of his men, who was more nimble, and actually escaped.

By this time, Mula's father and his men had come to the vicinity of the tribe. Such a violent gunfire made them immediately alert, and they stayed still and observed the situation over there. It didn't take long for the fatal subordinate to escape and happened to run into each other.

As soon as he saw Mula's father, the man gave a quick account of what had happened inside. After saying that, he left immediately, and he had to rush back to his tribe to report the news, so as not to be caught off guard by the enemy.

When such a change occurred, Mula's father was shocked, and immediately returned to his lair with his men and began to arrange the defense.

In this case, although the traitor killed the leader of another tribe, he did not have any subordinates in that tribe. Now that the other party has been alarmed, it is obviously impossible to fight without blood. After discussing with the leader of the mercenaries, he simply started in advance.

In fact, the mercenaries who are coming now are only a vanguard force, less than a hundred people. Their large army has not yet been assembled, and it will be a day or two before they arrive here at the earliest. Otherwise, they would not have come up with such a strategy, and they would have relied on superior weapons and equipment to attack forcibly.

After some simple deliberation, they decided to strike while the iron was hot, and to strike first against the tribe whose leader had just died. After all, there are no leaders there, and it is much easier to deal with. Deal with this tribe first, and only the last tribe remains. When the large army comes, it will be much easier to do it whether it is a strong attack or persuasion to surrender.

Things went much smoother than they imagined. Although there was one man who fled back and reported to his tribe. But as soon as the leader died, the rightful heir also died. Who will be the next leader, no one is convinced, and it is so deadlocked.

By the time the mercenaries came, the people of this tribe were still arguing over the leader's throne, and they had not made any preparations at all. This time it's okay, everyone is caught in a net, everyone can't be a leader, and everyone has become a captive.

Due to the need for the residents here to be coolies in mining, this time, the mercenaries did not go on a killing spree. Just shoot some of those who dared to resist on the spot, and all the others who surrendered were imprisoned.

The easy solution to this tribe made the confidence of these people swell dramatically. The weapons and equipment used by these tribes are very backward, and many of them are still World War II weapons. And basically, they are all light weapons, and their power is very limited.

The most important point is that the militia of these tribes has no professional military training, and is just a group of civilians with guns. In front of these mercenaries, who are experienced in combat and armed to the teeth, it can be said that they are vulnerable.

A handful of people were left behind to guard the prisoners here. The leader of the mercenaries, along with his men, and the traitor's men, acted as the lead party and launched an attack on the tribe of Mula's father.

Although they had been prepared, they were a little stronger than the previous tribe. But when they encountered this group of wolf-like mercenaries, they only supported it for a while before the mercenaries broke through the defense line and entered the tribe.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mula's father fled to the last line of defense with a group of men and horses, as well as his own family. As for the rest of the clansmen, they had no choice but to leave them alone and give up. In this case, how could those people escape, and in the end, all those who remained fell into the hands of the enemy.

Fortunately, the mercenaries in this tribe did not go on a killing spree. It's just that, like the previous tribe, all the people were imprisoned and a few people were arranged to guard them.

The place where Mura's father was now hiding was one of the strongest fortresses of the entire tribe, located in a ravine where there was only one road to enter. On both sides of this ravine, there are steep cliffs, which are extremely difficult to climb, and the terrain is very dangerous.

Their ancestors once built strong fortifications here, and used this place to escape the disaster of extermination many times. Now, Mula's father has fled to this place. There's a large cave in there, and there's a lot of stuff to store for at least a few days.

The mercenaries chased them and came to this place, and after suffering a small loss, they abandoned the attack, established positions on the periphery, and trapped them inside. Since it was a group of vanguard troops, it did not carry any heavy weapons, and there was not much way to face such a strong fortress.

When Tang Village entered, this was the case, and the two sides were still in a stalemate. Those mercenaries, with some men and horses, guarded outside the ravine and did not take the initiative to attack. As for the other mercenaries, they have already occupied this place, all of them. And set up checkpoints on the periphery to prevent people from outside from entering casually.

With Tang Village's ability, it was easy to sneak into that ravine, and it took a little time to find Mula's father. After some careful interrogation, Mula's father finally believed Tang Village.

To be honest, at this moment, he is at his wit's end. The enemy was guarding the outside, and although they were no longer attacking, there were not a few people who fled here. For so many years, he didn't take this refuge seriously. There are not many supplies prepared in it, and if you stick to it for a few days, it is estimated that there will be no problem.

If it takes a long time and the enemy does not need to come to them, they themselves will be starved to death. Since there is still a life-saving straw, we must hold on to it firmly and will not let go easily.

Mula's father told Tang Village in detail what happened here. Of course, many details are not clear to him, so he can only add some of his own guesses and inferences. After saying this, he made a request to Tang Village, hoping to help them get out of the current predicament as soon as possible.

Knowing that his parents and family, all of whom were safe and sound, had fled to that shelter, at least for the time being, there was no danger to his life, Mura breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Tang Chengxuan, hoping that his boss could turn the tide, rescue his people, and drive those mercenaries from afar out of his homeland.
