Although Xu Chen has always emphasized not killing people, facing such a barbaric primitive tribe, it is impossible not to kill people. The wild nature of the wilderness means that they will not be easily captured. If they are not ruthless, they may die, so Xu Chen also
There is no requirement to never kill people, but to try not to engage in large-scale senseless massacres.
If someone kills someone when the outcome is decided, Xu Chen will definitely give him a certain punishment.
Fortunately, both the Ba tribe hunters and the Gonghuo captive army followed his words and basically strictly implemented his orders.
What's more, in such a large tribal battle, the death of a few people would be more frightening to the enemy. He would never be kind to a woman.
After all, this is a life and death battle, not a child's play house.
From the first day he traveled across time and saw a group of savages drinking animal blood and eating raw meat, he no longer had any hope for moral civilization.
The total number of men, women, and children captured this time was 150, with women and children accounting for the majority. There were more than 50 men left, three were dead, more than ten were injured, and the others were all killed.
He was pinned to the ground and his hands and feet were tied.
After all the chaos subsided, a group of Maotun hunters who were captured yesterday were brought over and squatted with them.
All the questions that needed to be asked were already asked yesterday, and the language could not be communicated normally, so Xu Chen did not cross-examine carefully. He just arranged for most of the women, children and children to be driven into the largest cave, leaving some young people to help.
After dinner, the injured ones were given a simple bandage with medicated powder bandages and then thrown into the cave together with the women and children for them to take care of themselves.
As for the dozens of able-bodied men left, he frowned a little when dealing with them.
It is easy to conquer but difficult to deal with.
Although the Maotun tribe has been defeated, how to deal with it is a bit troublesome. It is too far away from the Ba tribe and the Wu tribe, and there is also a Wulong River in the middle. If they immigrate as a whole, just crossing the river will be super troublesome.
What's more, there is no way to go to the village or store. Originally, sending it to Gonghuo Basin was the best choice, but I don't know how far it is from the entrance of Jicang River.
But no matter what, he will definitely not give up easily and leave this tribe that has already eaten it, otherwise there is no need to bother.
What's more, he went out this time to inquire about the situation. He took down two tribes in just two days. The harvest was huge, but now he is like a beggar who suddenly picked up a golden nugget and didn't know what to do with it.
A huge fortune.
The Maotun tribe plus the La tribe have a population of more than two hundred, which is larger than the Cang tribe, which is second in the Six Tribes Alliance.
Whether these people are brought back to the Ba tribe or sent to the Gonghuo Plain, they will greatly enhance the strength of the alliance and be of great benefit to its future development.
Therefore, after much deliberation, he decided to have the Maoton clan leader and several leaders summoned and began to interrogate the situation nearby.
The communication was very difficult, but it was not without gain. After summarizing the inquiries, he suddenly became cheerful and excited.
Following the river in the habitat of the Maotun tribe, it merges into the Wulong River after dozens of miles. And just near the mouth of the river, there is another larger tribe called the Yu Gong tribe. If you confirm it,
That Yu Gong clan should be the savages on the other side of the river that we saw last time more than ten miles upstream from the mouth of the Jicang River.
If this is the case, things will be much easier to handle. All we need to do is go down the Maotun River to deal with the Yu Gong clan, and then we can almost control the large area on the other side of the river.
The Yu Gong clan also has a shaman in charge, who is considered the leader of this tribal alliance.
However, they are very strong. They have twice as many people as the Maotun tribe, which means there are about 400 people. They are almost as strong as the Wu tribe and the Gonghuo tribe. The forty people I brought alone are probably
It's not easy to deal with. Even if he uses a strategy to defeat it, I'm afraid he will suffer a lot of damage. This is not in line with his current plans and plans. If there are too many casualties, this path exploration plan will probably end in vain.
It ended early.
what to do?
Xu Chen started to pull out his hair.
Seeing Xu Chen walking around the bonfire with a serious expression on the handle of his knife, sometimes stopping to think, sometimes looking up at the sky in a daze, the Maotun chief and a group of leaders were frightened.
Feng and others knew that Xu Chen was usually thinking about problems at this time, so they did not disturb him. They stood around and watched all the prisoners waiting without saying a word.
"Bring me the map!"
After walking back and forth for a few minutes, Xu Chen stopped and gave instructions. He immediately went to find a piece of linen cloth in his backpack, and he and Gu pulled apart the map together.
What is this?
Chief Maotun and a group of leaders looked at this square, flat and smooth white linen cloth, with horror and confusion on their faces.
Xu Chen and his group appeared so suddenly that the entire tribe did not react at all and suffered heavy casualties and were taken prisoner.
And a group of strong men who went to attack the La tribe were all defeated and captured early on.
This group of enemies all wore the same neat animal skin clothes, with strange things wrapped around their heads, and their weapons were even weirder and sharper. In addition, the strange utensils they used to make food were something I had never heard of before, and they actually put food in them.
Boil with water.
It can be seen from the food, clothing, housing and transportation that these sudden strange races are completely different from all the tribes they know, and have never appeared in this area at all.
In addition, they travel with these strange wooden poles and things with dragon and beast patterns, as well as golden and scary things that can make loud noises... Could it be...
Patriarch Mao Tun suddenly shook his body and suddenly remembered something.
That was when I went to the Yu Gong clan to attend a tribal gathering last time, and I heard a strange and terrifying thing.
At that time, the great shaman of the Yu Gong clan told the clan leaders about something. He said that the hunters of the Yu Gong clan discovered a strange tribe on the other side of the river. The two sides waved to each other across the river. At that time, the other party raised a high
Strange tall things were fluttering in the wind, and there were also things that made loud noises, which frightened the hunters and thought they were carrying man-eating monsters and beasts.
If it is confirmed before and after, then these people may have come from the other side of the river.
But shouldn’t it?
That group of people was on the other side of the river near the Yu Gong tribe. How could they be a few days away and come from the La tribe upstream?
Could it be that there is another group of more powerful tribes on the other side of the river, all dressed like them?
How did so many of them come here?
Can they fly?
After thinking about it for a moment, Chief Maotun suddenly felt that the hairs all over his body were standing on end, his back was chilly, and he was squatting on the ground and shivering violently.
Naturally, Xu Chen didn't know that when he was summarizing the information to deduce the situation nearby, the Maotun people were also speculating on their origins, and they were all pretty close to each other.
"Prepare pen and ink!"
Xu Chen gave instructions while measuring the distance with his hands on the white cloth.
"Okay!"
He hurriedly rummaged through the backpack again, and quickly took out an animal skin bag. He took out a black object and a bristle brush, and then took out a black pottery bowl from the backpack.
Throw the ink block into a bowl, add a little hot water, and gently pound it in the bowl with a dark wooden stick.
The ink block is made of graphite mixed with some messy gum, pounded and dried in the sun. As for the writing brush, it is made of wool, wolf, rabbit, and other messy hairs tied randomly on a wooden stick.
These things were crude and simple. Xu Chen slowly made them for writing in his free time. They were of little use because only he, the little witch, and Ye in the entire tribe could read and write. A group of children usually used charcoal bars and clay tablets.
.
Going out to explore the road and improving the map is a very important task.
Xu Chen thought it would take several days before he would need it. Unexpectedly, he had only been out for two days when the world suddenly became brighter.
I actually discovered three tribes at once.
This shows that this area is indeed suitable for the cave-dwelling survival of primitive tribes in this era.
The mountains are not too high, the rivers are not too big, and there are caves to live in, which are suitable for gathering and hunting. It is also in line with the evolutionary process of human beings transitioning from mountains to plains.
In the Neolithic Age, after humans learned to build houses, they would further develop into flatter areas and begin farming, animal husbandry, and textile smelting and processing. Human beings completely got rid of the primitive wilderness and entered a truly civilized period.
Right now, it is this intermediate transitional period.
However, if Xu Chen had not appeared, this transition would have been very long and would have taken thousands or even tens of thousands of years to complete.
The picture in front of him was drawn after he went back to the Gonghuo Tribe for the last inheritance meeting. With the Wulong River as the boundary, the distribution of ethnic groups and the general mountains and rivers on the north bank from the Ba Tribe to the Gonghuo Plain were marked.
Go up.
With the Wulong River as the main stream, Bashui, Wushui, Hushui, Muya River, Jicang River and other large and small rivers form a regional water system, with the Copper Mine and Gonghuo Basin as the two major landmarks, forming a
A fairly detailed topographic map of the area.
Later, during Mother's Day after the beginning of spring and at the Witch Lord Conference not long ago, Xu Chen had some understanding and exchanges with some tribes in the Gonghuo Alliance, and supplemented the distribution of the seven or eight tribes in the Gonghuo Alliance, but only based on simple
After calculating the distance, the general direction and location of the tribe were marked, and the local mountains and rivers were not included.
On the south bank of the Wulong River, it is almost completely blank. Only the words "Yelangtan" and a bow and arrow symbol are marked on the hunting competition venue of the Ba people on the opposite bank.
"Give me the pen!"
After running his hand back and forth along the Wulong River several times, Xu Chen stretched out his hand and quickly handed the brush to his hand, and also lifted up the ink that had been ground with water.
After adding ink with a brush, Xu Chen meditated for a moment, and then drew a trace of the river on the south bank of the river between the Wu and Gonghuo tribes, marking it as Lashui.
Then with a few strokes, he outlined several mountains that crisscross from north to south or east to west from the La tribe to the Mao Tun tribe.
Then he drew half of the river and labeled it Maotun River.
Finally, the positions of the two tribes were marked with triangular points, and the names of the Shangla and Maoton tribes were written respectively.
