Lei grabbed the barbarian's head that had fallen to the ground, raised it high and roared, his blood-covered and ferocious expression directly shocked the entire audience.
All the barbarians who saw this scene were completely frightened.
The more than ten barbarian men who were still holding weapons and resisting had dull faces. Many of the weapons in their hands fell directly to the ground. After a moment, some people screamed in terror and turned around to escape, but by this time the camp was surrounded by hunters.
He was surrounded by water and there was no way to escape. He was soon swarmed by a group of hunters and knocked to the ground with sticks, fists and feet.
Several cruel ones!
Xu Chen was riding on horseback, looking at Lei, who was holding up the enemy's head and roaring like an ancient god of war, and his face couldn't help but tremble wildly.
This guy Lei has always been steady, especially after he moved to Gonghuo Basin and became the leader of the Lei clan, Xu Chen never saw him fight, let alone get angry.
The only time Xu Chen saw him fight was when he was in the Wu tribe six years ago, when Long challenged his leadership position.
In that battle, Lei was inferior, and after the failure of that battle, Lei seemed to have changed into a different person. It was rare to see him take such action except for hunting.
But those few blows just now were as fast as lightning. Xu Chen felt that he didn't have time to see clearly. The sword flashed past, and the enemy's head flew into the air with blood spraying.
Although the guy who was killed was not as strong as Lei Gao, he was still very strong. Not to mention his body flexibility, the bone rod in his hand, which was more than one meter thick and thin, weighed several dozen kilograms at least. His strength was definitely not that much inferior to Lei's.
, the speed is even better.
Lei is indeed brave, but he is already quite old now. In fact, his physical strength is not superior in the first confrontation between the two sides. However, with the support of the sharp bronze sword, he is able to exert his strength far beyond that of the enemy and kill the opponent with one blow.
If he wanted to cut off a head with one knife, Xu Chen thought he couldn't do it.
This requires both great strength and extremely murderous intent.
But it was Lei's sword that completely shocked all the barbarian men who still wanted to resist.
It was quiet in the woods. Even the barbarians who were injured and fell to the ground were still screaming and howling. They were all frightened into silence. Many women even covered their children's heads tightly and lay on the ground, not daring to move.
.
The headless barbarian leader was still spurting blood out of his neck. There was a sheet of blood covering several meters in radius, and the rich smell of blood permeated the entire barbarian camp.
"Your Majesty the Witch King, the enemy leader has been beheaded!"
Lei inserted the long knife into the ground, held up the barbarian's head with his eyes wide open and still dripping blood with both hands, knelt down on one knee and presented it to Xu Chen.
Xu Chen turned pale and quickly waved his hands and said: "Vice Commander Lei is extremely brave. Since the barbarian leader has been killed and the barbarians have surrendered, let people clean up the aftermath quickly. Find a place to burn or bury the dead, and treat the injured."
, tie up the rest first, don’t move the women and children for the time being, gather them together and take care of them!”
"As you command!"
Lei casually threw the head on the ground, pulled out the long knife and took a look. With a few facial expressions, he wiped the blood on the fur skirt of the corpse of the barbarian leader and put it into its sheath. Then he yelled and ordered the hunters to start cleaning up the scene.
"Well done!" Long Dai was stunned for a moment, turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and patted Lei on the shoulder, praising him sincerely.
Lei took a breath and glared, "Are you not convinced?"
"Gaga..." Long smiled and patted Lei's shoulder again, then shook his head and said, "Moga, this guy is very powerful. I thought you would arrange for many people to subdue him, but I didn't expect you to go up and kill him directly!"
"
"Hmph, even if he doesn't die, these savages won't be convinced. Let's not talk about it. This guy is not as strong as you or me. Fortunately, he is wearing double-layered leather armor..." Lei Qiya grinned and rubbed his shoulders to deal with the aftermath.
Long also arranged for a group of forbidden soldiers to follow him to help.
Travel for a week, fight for five minutes.
These barbarians are definitely not the fifth scum of the war, but they are not enough to face a paramilitary force of more than 300 people who are well-trained and equipped.
Although Xu Chen had thought that the battle would go very quickly before attacking, the time it took to actually complete the battle was shorter than he imagined.
From the time when the horn was blown to launch the attack to when Lei chopped off the enemy leader's head and shocked the entire battle, the entire battle really didn't take more than five minutes.
He shouted one sentence from beginning to end, and then watched the ending.
If he had run slower, the scene would have been littered with corpses.
Orders are orders, but Xu Chen generally doesn't give instructions on the battlefield.
Just like the barbarians who helped the Mongols conquer the salt mines, the ground was still covered with blood. Almost all the young men of a barbarian tribe were killed, and many children and women were also killed.
It wasn't that Xu Chen wanted to kill so cruelly, but that these barbarians were really unable to communicate. Men, women, old and young were all extremely savage and aggressive. They hardly gave them any chance to explain or communicate, and they behaved like wild beasts.
The same is true for this barbarian tribe now.
However, their situation is different from that of the Mongols, because the Mongols and the barbarians have been enemies of each other for hundreds of years because of the competition for hot springs and salt mines. They are almost mortal enemies, and both sides want to kill each other anytime and anywhere.
But today, the barbarian tribe and the Xiu tribe and even the Yu Gong tribe do not have such a deep hatred. Even though there have been two conflicts and there were casualties on each other, this hatred has not risen to the point where life and death enemies must fight to the death.
At least they could tell by staying away from the Xiu tribe and giving up large areas of territory that this barbarian tribe did not want to have a larger-scale conflict with the sudden appearance of tribes such as the Xiu tribe's Yu Gong tribe.
One is that he estimates that he is not strong enough to win, and the other is that he feels the crisis and does not want to engage in such a meaningless fight.
After all, survival is not easy. This kind of battle will not make the tribe stronger, but will cause unbearable losses.
Because the Xiu Clan and Yu Gong Clan have already shown them their super strength.
And this strange race that suddenly came to the camp today was even more powerful, with hundreds of strong hunters and fully armed equipment, as well as terrifying beast-riding teams and horns and drums, all of which they were frightened by.
The barbarians had already seen the flags and horns of war horses when they fought with the Yugong clan at the turn of spring and summer, and the war drums brought this time were even more shocking.
In fact, the barbarians knew that the Yu Gong clan could not be defeated since the large-scale conflict with the Yu Gong clan. They only relied on their familiarity with the environment and physical advantages to move freely in the primitive dense forest, allowing Yu Gong to defeat them.
The barbarians did not pursue them to their lair, and in that tug of war, the barbarians paid the price of more than twenty casualties.
In fact, the strength of this barbarian tribe is much stronger than Xu Chen expected. There are more than 50 young and middle-aged men who can participate in hunting. The total number of people in the entire tribe exceeds 130, making it the largest in this primitive forest.
A tribe of barbarians.
The barbarian tribe near the Mongolian tribe does indeed belong to this ethnic group.
Before, there were contacts between the two tribes, but this kind of exchanges were less than the original exchanges between the Wu tribe and the Gonghuo tribe alliance tribe. Just like the beasts split into tribes, once the family split, there was almost no communication with them.
Strange groups are similar. Apart from marriage, there are no fixed communication activities, and sometimes there may be no contact for several years.
The reason why these barbarian tribes are so scattered is that they have not evolved to the level of belief in gods, so there are no spiritual leaders like witches.
Their way of living is still a very primitive and ancient beast group habit.
It's just that they already have relatively strong wisdom, know how to avoid disadvantages and seek advantages, and know how to protect and preserve their own strength.
Therefore, in the face of the persuasion to surrender by the barbarian compatriots who belonged to the same group brought by the Mongols and the shock of Lei's massacre, this barbarian tribe immediately gave up resistance after losing their most powerful hunter leader.
While cleaning up the mess, a group of trembling barbarians, regardless of age or sex, dared no one to look at Lei, especially the mysterious weapon hanging on his waist.
And there is not just one weapon of this kind in the entire hunter team, but several.
In the future, there will be more. At least by then, the waist knife will become the standard equipment of the imperial army, but it will be slightly different in shape from the officer class.
After half an hour of work, under the beatings and scoldings of more than 300 hunters, hundreds of barbarian men, women and children were driven into an open space and gathered together. All the strong men among them were tied behind their backs with hemp ropes.
Hands and feet, women, children, the elderly and the weak are not cared for much.
Not many were killed directly, only seven, but almost all the men were injured, varying in severity.
The seven corpses were carried and thrown into the forest a few hundred meters away. It was expected that the bones that would soon be eaten by wild animals would not be left behind.
The injured were simply treated with medicated powder and bandages. Some of the more seriously injured were not sure whether they would survive. Xu Chen couldn't do much for serious injuries such as stabbing through the belly and breaking bones. He could only help
Just bandage it randomly and throw it into a hole to fend for itself.
After everything was sorted out, several large bonfires were lit. The Forbidden Army took out clay pots and grains and began to cook food. In addition, the barbarians hunted a few wild beasts that were originally preparing for dinner, which happened to be an advantage for Xu Chen and others.
Cut it up and bake or stew it for dinner.
The bloodstains on the ground were covered by the soil. Xu Chen sat by the campfire and drank hot aphrodisiac fruit tea, and had several older men and women from the barbarian tribe brought out for interrogation.
Because this time there were Mongolians and barbarians who had been naturalized for several years as translators, the interrogation was much easier than the previous communication when the Mongolians faced the barbarians.
Although the language of these barbarians is very simple, mixed with some common body language gestures, some simple information can still be understood quickly.
There is indeed a salt mine near this barbarian tribe, not far from the tribal camp. The valley is one mile south, closer to the Mongolian tribe.
