As the team continued to search forward, the calls of various wild beasts and birds transmitting information to each other continued to be heard from everywhere in front, and more and more traces of barbarian activities were discovered.
Xu Chen led the imperial troops to follow and observe several places, and found that there were more and more traces, pointing slightly southeast.
Soon, the search team in front arrived and stopped near a low mountain, and soon a unique sound of "wow-wow-wow-wow" was heard.
This is a signal that enemy traces have been discovered.
"Finally found!"
Xu Chen suddenly let out a long breath, and then led his men to chase forward. Seven or eight minutes later, he caught up with Lei's troops, and Lei was gathering with a group of hunters under a big tree at least three meters in diameter, heading towards the hillside.
direction observation.
"Your Majesty the Witch King, the barbarians have been discovered!" Seeing Xu Chen coming over, Lei lowered his voice in excitement and said.
"Where?"
"there……"
Xu Chen got close to a group of hunters and looked in the direction of the thunder finger. Although there were thick trees and thorns and vines, he could still see a few blurry figures. Sure enough, they looked like a few people wearing furs.
Human beings are jumping through the woods with sticks, and their movements are very agile.
"The people from the Yu Gong clan have followed, and they should be able to find the barbarian tribe's residence soon!" Lei reminded excitedly.
"Very well, don't alert the enemy. The sun is going to set now. These barbarians should all return to their tribes. Order everyone not to make a sound and just keep an eye on them. The Imperial Guards should tie up their horses and don't get too close!"
"Follow the order!"
Lei and Long clasped their fists at the same time, then turned around to convey Xu Chen's order.
In the next half hour, the three teams at the front, middle and back slowly began to gather together.
Those in front of them were a group of hunters from the Yu Gong clan and several barbarians digging for salt. They were constantly making bird calls to remind them of the direction.
A group of people slowly followed up the mountain. The chirping of birds in front suddenly stopped, and everyone stopped. Soon, a hunter from the Youyu clan came over with excitement and reported that there was a barbarian tribe camp in the valley ahead.
You can see a large number of barbarian activities.
"Let's go take a look and then decide on an attack plan!"
Xu Chen's heart finally rested on his belly button.
Although he felt that he was not far away from finding the barbarian tribe since he found the beast skull, it was not until he finally reached his destination that he finally let out his breath.
It’s best not to drop something like the divine halo.
And being able to find the gathering place of the barbarians so smoothly also completely confirmed that there was no problem with his inference.
They were even sure that the salt mine must be nearby, maybe even not far from the barbarian's residence.
At this time, the sun was already setting on the mountains far away behind us, and would soon set.
This was also the time when the barbarians returned to the tribe to eat, drink and prepare to rest. It was also the time when their vigilance was at its weakest.
If your guess is correct, those barbarians just now should be a team patrolling near the territory, and they are mainly on guard against enemies coming from the direction of the Xiu tribe.
Not far from the gently sloping hillside, there is a low and shallow valley.
It is said to be a valley, but it is actually more like a valley, with a long and narrow shape from east to west. There is a small lake in the middle, and the surrounding area is slightly open. The lake is in the northwest area, where many barbarians can be seen, and men and women can also be heard moaning.
The screams and screams of children.
"Your Majesty the Witch King, you can launch an attack!" Lei looked back at Taiyang's excited reminder.
"Well, here's the order, all teams should spread out and sneak down the mountain. The distance can be slightly wider, but don't act in advance. Arrive at the foot of the mountain and ambush, wait for the order to attack. When you hear the sound of horns and drums, start attacking immediately!"
"Follow the order!" Lei excitedly clasped his fists and left. After a few wolf howls, all the hunters who had gathered near the mountain quickly dispersed into the dense forest.
After waiting for more than ten minutes and listening to several different bird calls coming from near the foot of the mountain, Xu Chen ordered the imperial guards to take off the horse's bit, tighten the girdle, and get on the horse when they were ready.
"Raise the flag, sound the trumpet, and beat the drum!" Xu Chen drew out the dragon-tooth scimitar from his waist and shouted.
"Woo~~~~"
"Dong dong dong dong..."
The restless imperial trumpeter who had been waiting for a long time immediately blew the golden horn, and at the same time a cowhide drum he was carrying was also beaten.
"Sha Ga~~"
Almost at the moment when the horns and drums sounded, the Yu Gong clan coalition forces and the hunter team led by Lei, who had already discovered the ambush near the barbarian tribe, instantly burst into roars one after another, and densely packed figures rushed toward the observers from three directions.
barbarian camp.
At this time, all the barbarians were gathering in the woodland near the lake and preparing dinner.
Some women and children used animal skins and broad leaves to hold wild fruits and plant roots and placed them in the open space. A group of men also placed bloody pieces of slaughtered and cut animal meat on a circle of stones. Several older barbarians
Men and women were gathering together to count the food, and many dark, skinny, naked-butt boys, girls, and children were drooling around the food.
The sudden sound of horns and drums suddenly broke the peace and tranquility of the evening.
The killing cries that followed caused all the barbarians to flee in panic. The women threw away their food and tightly protected their children and fled into tree holes or earthen holes, while the men let out sharp screams.
There were people holding bloody beast meat at a loss as they heard the sound, while others picked up sticks, stones and simple spears in panic and hid everywhere.
"Boom~"
In the panic, the sound of a bowstring sounded, followed by a thud and a scream. A tall barbarian fell to the ground with an arrow in his chest, and after a few violent jerks, there was no movement.
And this arrow was like a reminder. In an instant, more arrows shot out from the woods like locusts. At the same time, a large group of hunters wearing leather armor and fully armed poured out like a tide, running with long bows in their hands.
Still shooting.
Arrows flew in all directions under the setting sun.
In the open forest glade, the barbarians fell down in pieces. Crying, screaming, running, crashing and falling sounds came one after another, and the entire barbarian camp was in chaos.
"Run away, die!"
The group of hunters from the Yugong tribe who were leading the way roared loudly, raised their spears, and caught up with the barbarians who were running around or who still wanted to resist. They killed them head-on. The sound of the spears piercing the flesh was heard with blood splashing everywhere. It could be seen everywhere.
The barbarian men, women and children screamed and howled in despair.
"Eh..."
"Tap tap tap tap..."
In the midst of the chaos, there was the sound of intensive horse hooves rushing down the hillside. More than a dozen flags roared and rolled in the evening wind. The neighing of the horses was mixed with low horns and thunderous drums.
"Where are the Mongols? Let them stop resisting!"
Before Xu Chen rushed to the barbarian camp, he raised his dragon-tooth scimitar and roared all the way.
“#￥@……”
The barbarians who came with the Mongols to communicate and persuade them to surrender quickly started shouting.
As the roar rang out, the barbarians who were running in chaos were momentarily stunned, and many women and children quickly fell to the ground.
Some men also threw away their weapons in panic and lay down.
But there were still more than a dozen barbarian men who were still yelling and waving wooden sticks and spears to resist the attack. Although these men were thin and small, they were very flexible and could not stop them from jumping around in the woods. The most powerful among them
A guy with unusually long arms, carrying a bone club as thick as a calf like a demon monkey, jumped up and down under the attack of more than a dozen hunters, screamed, swung the bone club and knocked over seven or eight hunters one after another, with a ferocious expression on his face.
Roaring like a group of ferocious beasts.
Seeing his subordinates flipping on their backs, screaming and panicking, Lei Yanlang, who was originally in command, pulled out the scimitar from his waist and ran straight into the circle with a golden cold light.
At this time, the monkey-like barbarian jumped again and knocked over a hunter. He just landed and roared in protest. Looking at Lei coming with the knife, an extremely fierce light shone in his eyes. Not only did he not retreat, but he raised the weapon in his hand again.
The bone stick screamed and kicked off a few rocks, jumped up high and rushed directly towards it.
At this time, both sides can feel that the other is the most powerful enemy leader.
In such a brutal life-and-death battle, one must kill the opponent's leader before proceeding.
Lei is nearly two meters tall and weighs at least two hundred pounds. He is tall and strong and wears double-layered leather armor. He looks like a giant bear.
Although the body of the barbarian leader is considered tall among the barbarians, he is not more than 1.7 meters tall. Among all the adult men in Ba, he can only be considered short in stature. However, this man's arms are hanging down to his knees, and his legs are muscled and he is running.
When he jumps, he actually carries an extremely fierce and domineering aura.
"Oh~ah~~"
The barbarian leader soared at least two meters into the air, and with one move, the bone club in his hand struck down directly at Lei.
There was no fear on Lei's face, and his figure didn't pause at all. He roared while running, grabbing the handle of the knife and sweeping forward with both hands.
"Dang~"
In the dark forest with mottled sunset, the bronze scimitar and the bone club collided hard, and a bright spark suddenly burst out.
This powerful blow hit hard, and the bodies of both parties were almost stagnated at the same time, but the barbarian leader moved faster. The moment he landed, he jumped up again with a strange scream and rolled down with the stick.
Lei's movements were obviously much slower this time. He didn't have time to raise his sword to meet him. Instead, he rushed forward like a wild bear and just hit the jumping barbarian leader. Although the barbarian leader's movements were deformed, the bone club still hit him.
On Lei's shoulder, Lei knocked away his opponent with a groan and waved the bronze scimitar with both hands.
With a puff, a golden light flashed under the sunset, and a black head rose into the sky.
As the demonic monkey-like barbarian leader staggered back, a stream of blood spurted out from his neck several meters high, splashing down several meters in a radius like a fountain, and then hit the ground covered with fallen leaves and gravel with a thud.
, the body was convulsing and twitching, and the blood still spurted out far away, staining the bodies of several hunters and some barbarian men and women nearby who fell to the ground like gourds of blood.
