Chapter 1046: Raising troops to go south, on the wasteland hills
"The leader of this tribe doesn't know the specific situation for the time being. Just now, Jifan, who was hunting near the Zhenxiong River in the north, came to report that he saw a large army of the Mangbu tribe coming towards us.
Moreover, not only the Mangbu tribe, but Tuhunhu, the patriarch of the Yixi tribe, was also there.
Obviously, this time the two tribes came together! However, the specific number of people is not known. If we go by the usual calculations, there will be at least more than 10,000 tribesmen!"
"Great Elder, you must immediately summon the warriors of your tribe and set off north early tomorrow morning to block the Mangbu tribe's army from our ancestral land!"
"Second Elder, you and the Third Elder work together to organize food, grass, ordnance and other supplies!"
"Fourth Elder, you take a few warriors and rush to the Usa Tribe immediately overnight! If only the Mangbu Tribe sends troops, we will naturally not be afraid, but this time the Yixi Tribe chiefs have sent out directly, obviously they are very confident.
Without reinforcements from the Uzza tribe, we are no match for them!"
"Everything else can be carried out as usual!"
After the arrangement was completed, Yoshino Amu gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know if this Wudu Khan is crazy. He doesn't want to stay in the clan well now, and he actually came to attack our A's head.
But, if that’s the case, then let’s teach them a lesson! Let them know how powerful our heads are.”
"As you command!"
All the elders left one after another, and for some unknown reason, Yoshino Amu always felt a little uneasy!
Moreover, the time for the Mangbu tribe to come is a little wrong! Now, it is March in spring, when the grass grows and the orioles fly. It is the best time for both grazing and farming. Generally speaking, the tribes will
Take advantage of this season to arrange farming matters instead of wasting time on conquests.
After all, even if the battle is successful, if the season is delayed, the gain will outweigh the loss.
Moreover, the Mangbu tribe is slightly weaker between the two tribes. It is precisely because of this that almost every war is initiated by Ah Tou! Even if the Mangbu tribe occasionally takes the initiative, it is because of the reality.
There is no other way, and it is more of a show-off.
But what is the purpose of their coming this time?
Do you really want to decide the winner?
However, even with the help of Yi Xi tribe, they have no hope of taking over their own tribe in a short time...
Although they are full of doubts, now that Mangbubu is coming, they can only deal with it with all their strength!
Opposite is the combined army of the two tribes. However, the Yixi tribe is just helping, and of course they will not come in full force. Being able to send four to five thousand soldiers and horses is already the best, and the Mangbu tribe also needs to leave some warriors behind just in case.
Therefore, according to normal circumstances, even if the two tribes united, the maximum number of troops dispatched would only be around 10,000 people.
Nowadays, there are about 7,000 elite troops in their A'tou tribe. Although they may not be the opponents of the Mangbu tribe, it is easy to temporarily block them until the Usa tribe's reinforcements arrive.
Early the next morning, before dawn, torches were burning in Ah's head! Last night, the clan had already informed the people in the clan of the news, so those who were notified heard the news.
The sound of horns means you are ready!
In less than half an hour, A Tou's thousands of elites were ready!
Standing in front of everyone, Yoshino Amu first said to the great elder, "Last night, Jifan sent back news again, saying that the opponent's army was also camped on the north bank of the Zhenxiong River, and it is estimated that they will not cross the river until early today and continue to advance! Our army
The soldiers and horses immediately set off, about fifteen miles north, arrived at the wilderness hills and set up an ambush, waiting for the arrival of their army!"
The wasteland hill he was talking about was a hilly area to the north of A Tou. Although the terrain here is gentle, there are many crisscrossed hills and the terrain is relatively complex. It would be difficult for one's side to ambush the army there to fight the opponent.
The most beneficial!
"Furthermore, their specific number has been detected. There are about 6,000 soldiers and horses. As for whether there is a large army following behind, we still don't know yet! Remember not to be reckless. Stop them first and find out their specific strength.
, wait until reinforcements from the Ussa tribe arrive, then we can fight back."
"Clan leader, don't worry!"
The great elder smiled and said, "This is not the first time we have fought against the Mangbu tribe. We are very experienced in dealing with them! Moreover, they only have six thousand soldiers and horses, so they are no match for us!"
"I will keep them out of the wilderness hills and wait for the clan leader to lead his army!"
"good!"
Yoshino Amu nodded. The great elder had a high prestige in the clan and was very reliable in doing things. He was naturally relieved to let him lead the troops in person.
"Let's go. If there is any further news, please come back at any time!"
The great elder bowed to Yoshino Amu, then shouted loudly, the cowhide drums rang loudly, and the army held torches and formed a long queue, slowly heading towards the wilderness hills in the north.
On the north bank of the Zhenxiong River, the continuous large camps have been cleaned up, and all the tribesmen have just had their stomachs full, and then they continue to move forward!
The Zhenxiong River is just a small river, only three to four feet wide, and the depth of the river is only one or two feet. If the water were not so cold, you could just wade across the river without building a pontoon.
However, Tuhunhu and others were extremely well-prepared and asked his subordinate Erlang to quickly build two simple pontoon bridges using the wooden planks he brought with him. The army easily crossed the Zhenxiong River!
"How far ahead is the moorland hill?"
Tuhunhu asked a leader of the Mangbu tribe next to him.
"We have crossed the Zhenxiong River, and there is still about ten miles left!"
Tuhunhu nodded, turned to Wudu Khan and said, "Last night, Ah Tou should have received the news of our arrival. Calculating the time when they will send troops, they should go to the wasteland hill area to ambush and stop us one step ahead.
!”
Both sides are very familiar with each other's habits, and the surrounding terrain has been explored countless times. There have even been battles between the two tribes in this wilderness hill once or twice. Therefore, Tuhunhu can naturally guess what the other side will do.
The action of coming down.
"If they went to the Usa tribe last night to ask for help, they could arrive this morning. However, if the Usa tribe wants to send troops, they probably have to wait until tomorrow morning! Today, let's just talk to the people in A Tou.
Let’s fight a few battles to let them feel how powerful we are! When the commander’s army at the front is encircled, it’s time for our general attack.”
The old patriarch Wu Duhan gave a bitter smile. Until now, he has not fully realized that his entire tribe has completely surrendered to the hands of others without moving a single sword. This seems like an unreal dream.
