Two days later, more than a dozen small tribes had completed their preparations and dispatched many men in their prime to escort the cattle and sheep on their journey.
All told, there could be more than a thousand warriors from all ethnic groups escorting the cattle and sheep.
When the team left, it attracted the attention of many people at Xingyue Lake, and some asked where they were going.
The people from the small tribes received Lin Ye's instructions and said they just felt uneasy and wanted to go back and did not want to continue grazing in Xingyue Lake.
Carrying such a large number of cattle and sheep would certainly not be able to move very fast, and would be more than twice as slow as the army's marching speed.
Qirige came over and asked Lin Yedao: "People from all tribes want to ask, what do you eat on the way to the border?"
Lin Ye said: "They just want to ask me whether the cattle and sheep that will be eaten along the way are mine."
Qi Rige laughed: "That's what I mean, I just don't dare to say it clearly."
Lin Ye: "Tell them, forget it, and there is no need to save food, but they can only eat sheep, and you are not allowed to touch any cows."
Qi Rige said: "Okay, this may be the first time they have met such a generous businessman, okay, I'll go back and tell them."
Lin Ye said: "After eating the meat, you have to keep the skin. Send me any intact ones. That's mine."
Qi Rig said: "It must be yours."
Pang Panghai said: "If you take this sheepskin back, you can still sell it for some money, otherwise you will really lose money."
Lin Ye: "Zinai likes little white lambs."
Pang Panghai: "Yes, general, just bring some sheepskins back to her."
Lin Ye glanced at him, and Pang Panghai shut up immediately, but he still thought in his heart that our general is different. Miss Zinai likes lambs, so our general will take the sheepskin back.
What if girl Zinai likes leopards or tigers? What if girl Zinai likes a man when she grows up?
Thinking of this, Pang Dahai couldn't help but shudder, and said to himself that he should stay away from Miss Nai from now on. What girl wouldn't like him as he is tall and handsome.
If Lin Ye knew what he was thinking at this time, Pang Panghai would have to worry about whether he would turn into a fool.
The team moved really slowly. After a day, when I stood on the high slope and looked back, I could still see the Xingyue Lake.
Lin Ye didn't seem to be in a hurry and ordered the soldiers to return their clothes and put on Dayu's military uniform.
Qi Rige made some calculations and found that at this speed, it would take at least half a month to reach the border.
If something goes wrong on the road, even the gods may not be able to save it.
Lin Ye opened the map, looked at it, and pointed somewhere: "Camp here tonight, and there tomorrow night."
Qirige looked at it and said, "Good fellow, these two places are easy to attack and difficult to defend. If he were a horse thief, he would be too embarrassed not to take action."
But he also suspected that with such a large number of cattle and sheep, even if horse thieves succeeded, they were too far away from the mountains and forests on the other side of Xingyue Lake. Would the horse thieves really blatantly drive the cattle and sheep back?
So he immediately figured out why Lin Ye arranged it like this, because it was impossible for the horse thieves to let them go too far.
If the distance is too far, the Dongbo border troops will rush over and the horse thieves will definitely die.
Therefore, it is a journey of two or three days at most, and the horse thieves can drive the cattle and sheep around Xingyue Lake and still return safely.
If they go any further, they won't have the courage, so the place Lin Ye ordered to camp is more like a bait.
Thinking of this, Qi Rige felt a little worried. He really didn't know where these beauties got their confidence.
Their follow-up group has not arrived yet, and there are only fifty people at this time, and he only brought two personal soldiers.
When the people from the small tribe saw the horse thieves, their legs weakened. If they really started fighting, the rabble would disperse immediately.
The first day of camping was fine, as it was not too far from Xingyue Lake, but I didn't sleep well all night, and I was very worried.
We walked for another day, much farther than the first day. After all, we made a plan to camp according to Lin Ye's plan.
When I came to this place, I passed by Lin Ye and took a closer look. Only then did I understand that Lin Ye had already planned it.
But this place is not suitable for camping at all, it is simply a natural grave.
This is a low-lying area, about seven or eight miles in diameter. If you could look down from the air, it would look like an extremely huge ball had hit it.
Lin Ye wanted to camp in this low-lying area. If horse thieves came, he could swoop down from a high place and take full advantage of the speed of the cavalry.
And since they were at the bottom of the pit, there was no heavy infantry to form a defense, so the light cavalry could harvest them as easily as cutting grass.
After all, he was also a veteran who had been in the army for many years. When he noticed something was wrong here, he immediately went to find Lin Ye.
At this time, Lin Ye was having a rest.
Unexpectedly, such a cold, handsome, handsome, and extremely smart person would also poop.
If you look at it this way, life is not unfair everywhere.
Seeing Lin Ye squatting in the grass, Qi Rige felt that it was a bit rude to pass by like this.
But he was impatient. It was almost dark when he was preparing to camp. If he delayed for a while and the sun set, it would be too late to change the camping place.
So he gritted his teeth, held his stomach and walked over, squatting down across a clump of grass.
"General Lin, it's convenient too."
Lin Ye had never experienced anything like this in Dayu, and people would come up to chat with him when it was convenient.
Lin Ye: "Qirige, here...can't a person poop alone?"
Qi Rige: "Yes, yes, I happen to think this position is more suitable."
Lin Ye: "Did you read Feng Shui?"
Qi Rige: "Let me tell you the truth... General Lin, you chose this place to camp. If the horse thieves attack tonight, they will attack from a high place and come down the slope. We can't stop them."
Lin Ye: "Well, I will definitely come tonight."
Qi Rige said: "It's barely too late to change places now."
Lin Ye: "Can you change the place first?"
Qirige lifted up his pants and stood up: "I can change places now. If General Lin gives the order, the team can also change places now."
Lin Ye turned his head.
His grid: "General Lin, think twice."
Lin Ye: "I don't want to have to explain myself to you at this time. Could you please go away first?"
Qi Rige: "It...it will get dark soon."
Lin Ye took a deep breath.
Seeing him like this, Qi Rige had no choice but to leave first, turning back as he walked: "General Lin, hurry up. I really don't think it's appropriate."
Lin Ye took a deep breath again.
As Qirige walked back, Pang Panghai came over with a piece of hairy grass in his mouth, looked at the forest leaves in the distance, and then at Qirige: "Have you seen the general taking a shit?"
Its grid: "..."
Pang Panghai: "What's so interesting about that?"
He ignored him and strode away.
Pang Panghai shouted to Lin Ye: "General Lin, be careful. It's convenient for me to catch Qirige and peek at you."
Lin Ye took a deep breath again.
When he came out of the grass, Pang Panghai stepped forward quickly and said with a distressed look on his face: "General, are you unclean?"
Lin Ye kicked Pang Panghai on the butt: "Go and do the things I arranged. If you don't do it, I'll castrate you when you go back."
Pang Panghai rubbed his buttocks and walked back: "General, you, the Dongbo man who peeked at you, it's not me who made you unclean. Why are you castrating me..."
Lin Ye looked around. Three of the fifty scouts he brought had gone back to report to Feng Xiu. Now counting him, plus Qi Rige and two winter soldiers, there were fifty-one in total.
People. He did not count those people from small tribes. It is impossible for those people to really fight for their lives. If they dared, the horse thieves would not bully them like that.
In fact, no matter which nation you are from, some people have said that we will be stronger when we unite.
But no matter which nation, it is extremely difficult to achieve true unity.
There are many overt and covert struggles within a clan, let alone between clans.
He waved his hand and called Qirige over. Qirige approached and asked, "General Lin, do you want to choose a new place to camp now?"
Lin Ye said: "If you don't change, that's it."
Qi Rige's eyes changed, and he said with some urgency: "General Lin, although we haven't seen it, the horse thieves will definitely send people to keep an eye on us. If the news that we are camping here is sent back, they will come to raid tonight."
Lin Ye: "I know."
His question: "Since the general knows this, why does he insist on doing it his own way?"
Lin Ye: "Because I want to fight."
His eyes widened.
He asked Lin Ye: "General, are your reinforcements almost here and nearby?"
Lin Ye: "I don't know."
Qi Rige: "The general's reinforcements haven't arrived yet, so I've sent someone back to report the news. The fastest the border troops will get here is tomorrow afternoon."
Lin Ye: "I can't make it in time."
Qi Rige: "So General, it's still too late to leave now."
Lin Ye pointed outside: "After leaving this low-lying land, there is a vast plain. Where do you think we can go in time?"
He said to his brother: "Including you, we have fifty-one people who can fight, that's about it."
Qi Rige: "Then I will go and inform the people of each tribe to prepare for the horse thieves' attack tonight."
Lin Ye: "No, you go and notify us now. After you finish speaking, half of the people will have to run away."
He patted Qizige on the shoulder: "Do one thing for me. If you do it well, we should be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive."
Qi Rige: "What does the general want me to do?"
Lin Ye said: "We don't have enough equipment. Go and ask the people of each tribe for some bows and arrows. Try to get as many as you can."
Qi Rige sighed. He wanted to leave right now, so he just left with his two soldiers so that he wouldn't be implicated.
But he also knew that if he really left like this, more than fifty beauties, including a general, would all die here, and he wouldn't be able to survive.
Moreover, if the court investigates, his family will also be implicated.
If you don't leave and die with these ignorant beauties, at least your family won't get into trouble.
As soon as he gritted his teeth, Qi Rige went to find those small tribesmen to ask for bows and arrows.
Lin Ye looked back at Pang Panghai: "What happened to the preparations?"
Pang Panghaidao: "Everything is ready, enough for use."
Lin Ye said: "Distribute it to the brothers. Follow my instructions and find a suitable place yourself."
"yes!"
Pang Panghai responded.
Lin Ye walked to one side, sat down on a stone and waited for darkness.
At this time, the sky was already very dark, and it was not far away from complete darkness. The sun left this world and went to another world.
Lin Ye Lin Ye raised his head and looked at it. The depression was really big enough. They seemed to be at the bottom of a big bowl.
If a team of horse thieves arrives, you can imagine how fast they can swoop down from all sides.
Lin Ye asked people from each tribe to drive the cattle and sheep to the center, while the teams of each tribe were scattered around.
"It looks like a bowl."
Lin Ye muttered to himself.
Then he patted the side next to him with some force.
