At this time, Xu Chen saw clearly that there were three foreigners who ran in with Feng and others. None of them came to the Ba tribe to study and work, and they all looked strange.
"Help...help...please!"
One of the strange men was gesticulating and shouting anxiously.
"Don't worry, get them some water first, and explain it carefully!"
Xu Chen asked Gu Heju to go to the well to fetch water. The three men held the clay pots and drank a gulp of water. Only then did they feel calmer and began to tell the story of what happened.
But because the language is too simple, and the Cang people and the Uba people are not of the same race, many of the accents are very awkward. Feng and others kept gesticulating and explaining next to them, and Xu Chen could only understand a rough outline.
Half a month ago, a group of Cang people went to the downstream river beach to pick up gold nuggets. They bumped into people from another tribe. For some reason, they started fighting. There were many people on the other side. They injured and captured several Cang people and asked them to take it.
The Cang people went to exchange pottery and linen, but the Cang people naturally refused and organized dozens of hunters to ask for the people. As a result, a more serious conflict occurred. The Cang people were angry and killed and injured more than ten people from the other side, and took back a few pieces.
An injured tribesman.
The Cang clan is quite powerful in the local area, so I originally thought this matter would be over.
But four days ago, countless foreigners suddenly entered the valley where the Cang tribe lived. The Cang tribe suffered heavy casualties during the raid, and they were not allowed to arrange for people to ask for help from the Ji tribe.
The Ji clan was not very strong at first, with less than a hundred people. While arranging for people to go to the rescue, they also asked them to rush to the Uzbek tribe for help. When they went to the Uzbek tribe, the Uzbek tribe had a very cold attitude and expressed the situation.
Unknown, they need to summon tribal leaders to discuss, and at the same time hint that they seek help from the Ba tribe.
So the few people who reported the news had no choice but to come to the Ba tribe non-stop.
Xu Chen's face twitched after hearing this.
The Uzbek tribe obviously wants to cause trouble.
They used to be the leaders of the Six Clans Alliance, and they wanted to show their presence by getting involved in all matters big and small.
Now that the allied tribes are being attacked by foreign tribes, they should have quickly arranged for rescue, but with such an attitude, they obviously want to blame the Ba tribe.
How many people are there in the Ba tribe?
Besides, the Ba people are so far apart, so even if you want to give up, you still need to at least pretend to be a rescuer.
Xu Chen's heart instantly became extremely angry.
But now that we have reached this juncture, the Ba people must take care of it.
No matter how many people there are on the other side, they must first assist the Cang Clan to stabilize the situation. As for the others, they can only wait until the matter is settled before settling accounts with the Uzbek Clan.
"Gu went to get the number and raised the flag of preparation. Feng immediately summoned all the men in the tribe, packed their armor and weapons and prepared to go!"
"Follow the order!"
After receiving the order, the three people quickly stood up and turned around to leave.
Soon Gu took out the golden horn from Xu Chen's room, stood in the yard and started blowing loudly.
Outside the yard, the loud roar of the wind soon came, and all the Ba and foreign men who were working at the construction site and kiln factory dropped their work and went straight to the compound.
Mother Ba was leading a group of women to teach spinning and weaving in the fire pond. When they heard the sound of horns and chaotic shouts, they all quickly put down their spindles and looms and came out.
"Muba Gaga, the Cang tribe is under attack, I want to lead people to rescue!"
Xu Chen stepped forward to report the matter to his mother.
Muba's face turned pale when she heard the nervousness. She grabbed Xu Chen's arm with her dry hands and said with a slight trembling: "Moga, it's dangerous..."
Grandma and a group of other women also nodded vigorously beside her.
Xu Chen quickly comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. There are many of us, and we still have armors and shields. Please hurry up and have someone help us prepare food for three days. The sooner the better!"
Although Muba was in a panic at this time, seeing Xu Chen's calm expression, her mood calmed down slightly. She quickly turned around and ordered a group of women to prepare dried meat, fish, and dried fruits.
At this time, the men ran into the yard in groups, and Feng had already ordered Mo and Ju to start forming a team.
Zhou Ye had already retrieved the three flags from the warehouse, tied them to wooden poles, and held them high one by one with the two teenagers.
"Woo~wu~wu~~~"
Gu held the horn and kept blowing it. The sound echoed in the cold valley, frightening flocks of wild birds. Even a group of monkeys and two little wolves couldn't help but roar and bark along with them.
"Count!"
"One quack, two quack, three quack, four quack..."
Although the situation is urgent, the results of daily training are undoubtedly highlighted at this time.
It had only been ten minutes since Xu Chen issued the order. Almost all the men had arrived. Just when the count was about to end, the last few men covered in mud ran in angrily to join the team.
Thirty-four archers and fifty-seven spearmen.
Although everyone was disheveled and even covered in dirt and dust, the atmosphere after the formation was quiet and orderly, and there was no chaos.
Even the three Cang people who came to report the news were pulled into the queue by their own people who came to learn how to build houses and burn kilns.
"Everyone is here, please give me your instructions!"
After counting, Feng clasped his fists and took two steps back to stand.
Xu Chen nodded and walked to the center, crossed his legs and put his hands behind his back.
"The Cang tribe was attacked by foreign tribes and suffered heavy casualties. We have to rush to the rescue. We don't know the specific situation at the moment, but we can't waste time. We need to set off immediately. Although most of you are here to learn, the six tribes
Neighbors look after each other and we share weal and woe. No one can sit idly by. As the highest officer, I issued an order that everyone must participate in this rescue operation. Anyone who disobeys the order will be expelled from the Ba tribe immediately, and the tribe to which they belong will never get a great witch.
The blessings and the protection of the gods..."
"Wow~"
There was a slight exclamation and commotion among the two teams, but it quickly subsided.
"Disband now. The three groups are left to look after the house. The rest are going to prepare armor and weapons. After the trumpet sounds three times, they will gather outside the courtyard!"
"Disband, prepare armor and weapons, and beat anyone who doesn't show up for no reason to death!"
The wind turned and roared, and the group of people dispersed and went straight to their respective rooms and kiln.
Mother Ba led a large group of women of her own tribe and foreigners, all of whom were hurriedly loading various foods into their backpacks. They were stuffed full of dried fish, dried meat and preserved fruits, and some women were even tying up clay pots, bowls, cups and other items.
Xu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he quickly stopped everyone. After checking back and forth, except for the necessary food, only some clay pots and pots were left as standby, and everything else was left behind. So the group of women all started working again.
The trumpet sounds every five minutes or so.
After the horn sounded three times, Xu Chen led everyone out of the compound.
At this time, except for a group of men who were left to look after the home and the courtyard, all the remaining men with armor had put on their armor, and those without armor had prepared their sidearms.
Feng led a group of Ba people to line up and stand at the front. They were all fully equipped with bows, arrows, spears, vine shields and short spears. More foreigners basically had no armor, but they were also equipped with a lot of bows, arrows, spears and vine shields. Although they were still equipped with
It's not complete, but it still looks much stronger than the simple spears and clubs before.
Three flags fluttered in the cold wind.
Everyone looked at Xu Chen nervously and apprehensively.
Foreign invasion has not happened for a long time.
Even if there were occasional conflicts, they would soon subside and would not lead to heavy casualties.
Xu Chen was also very nervous.
This was the first war between primitive tribes he encountered after traveling through time.
Although he hasn't seen the scene yet, based on the brief description of the situation by the Cang people who reported the news, he can roughly deduce that the battle was fierce and brutal, and both sides almost killed each other.
For the first time, the Cang tribe caused more than ten casualties to the opponent. The opponent prepared for nearly ten days before launching a sudden attack on the Wu tribe's habitat. It was definitely not a game of tricks.
Another reason is that the other party coveted the pottery and linen of the Cang tribe. It can be seen that the pottery and linen have now spread to strange tribes further away.
At this meeting of witch masters, he had already heard the Cang tribe talk about the transactions with strange tribes downstream. At that time, the Cang tribe was very proud. Someone suggested that a pottery bowl could be exchanged for a piece of fine leather or a piece of cloth.
In exchange for three pieces of good leather goods, a clay pot can even be exchanged for five or six pieces of leather goods.
This change of hands is several times the profit.
Of course, the essence of business is circulation, and it is natural to make money and make money. Xu Chen will not be jealous, and will even encourage such transactions to occur.
But as the saying goes, wealth should not be exposed, the Cang people's predatory wealth-making business finally caused trouble for themselves.
The other party is not a good person either. It seems that they thought that the Cang tribe had a large amount of pottery and linen, so they were prepared to attack the Cang tribe's lair in one fell swoop.
Now four days have passed, and we don’t know the casualties on both sides.
Xu Chen did not dare to delay for too long. It was already midday, and he could reach the Wu clan in half a day. He could reach the Ji clan tomorrow, and it would take three days to reach the territory of the Cang clan.
I don’t know if the Cang clan can withstand it for three days.
"Put on your backpack and dry food, sound the horn, and set off!"
Xu Chen had also put on his own cowhide armor, carrying a bow and arrows on his back, a dragon tooth scimitar hanging on his waist, and a forehead band on his forehead. He looked majestic.
"Woo~~"
Gu held his breath and blew the horn, and the melodious and sonorous sound echoed up and down in the valley. He led two young flag-bearers with flags in their hands and marched ahead.
"Church!"
The wind roared loudly, and the two teams, led by Ju He Mo, immediately followed the flag bearers in front, kicking and tapping along the river beach towards the mouth of the valley.
"Chen Ga, be careful!"
Ye grabbed Xu Chen's arm with a nervous look on his face.
"Don't worry, wait for me at home!" Xu Chen rubbed Ye's head.
"I'll go too!" The little witch held the staff and looked equally nervous and expectant.
Xu Chen shook his head, thought for a while and said: "War is very dangerous, but next spring, I can take you to a farther tribe, and then you will become a shaman for more people!"
"That's awesome!" the little witch was pleasantly surprised.
"Well, I promise, you should pay attention to safety at home. The third group is responsible for guarding the entrance of the valley. If you encounter unknown danger, retreat to the compound. Don't go out easily. We will be back soon and there will be no danger!"
Xu Chen briefly comforted a group of people, and then, surrounded by a group of Ba people such as Feng, he turned around and caught up with the large army in front.
The so-called military speed is so important. Under Xu Chen's constant urging, the entire team did not march as slowly as in the past training, but marched quickly in the way of field training, following the three-pole flags flying in the wind, and the continuous blowing of the flags.
The sound of the horn quickly went away, and soon disappeared from the sight of a group of women, children, old and young.
