The night is like water, with a hint of chill, the bright moon is like a hook, hanging diagonally in the sky, and the flat bronze highway is like a white line laid out on the ground, which looks a bit conspicuous.
Under the moonlight, a group of dark figures walked along the road from the east, shadowy.
The team moved forward in silence, and no one spoke. It was not that they didn't want to speak, but that they no longer had much energy to speak.
The excitement I felt when I set out at midnight yesterday has been almost worn away by the long walk.
At this time, many people are able to continue walking only by relying on perseverance.
Some people put their hands on the people in front of them, and as soon as they closed their eyes, they were already taking a nap. They were taking a nap while walking forward.
"We're almost there! We're almost at the Tongshan residential area!"
Although the senior brother walking in front was very tired, he still had to keep up his energy and cheer up everyone.
When a person takes on certain responsibilities, he will appear to be stronger than many others.
When the voice sounded, everyone couldn't help but feel shocked and became much more energetic.
Are we finally going to the Tongshan residential area and finally meeting those guys who dare to attack their tribe?
After such thoughts arose, many people felt more energetic, and even felt that it didn't matter if they started fighting now. They could still defeat these invading enemies.
The team that originally seemed lifeless suddenly became full of energy, as if they had been awakened from their sleep.
The eldest brother frowned slightly as he listened to the various noises made by the crowd.
"Tell the people behind you not to speak, and don't let the enemies know we're coming."
This was the plan specially told to him by Shang after he asked Liutou and Sparrow to rush back. After thinking about it carefully, the elder brother felt that it was particularly good. Moreover, Shenzi used this method to successfully catch the half-peasant last time.
The people of the tribe have this successful example, so the senior brother naturally has confidence in this plan.
I and others set out overnight, not daring to rush all the way. Wasn't it just to get here early so that I could catch these guys?
It would be a great loss if the commotion at this time disturbed those damn enemies and leaked the news in advance.
Under the instructions of the senior brother, the people behind them passed these words back one after another. Those who heard these words immediately became quiet and said nothing. Soon, the whole team became like this again.
Just as quiet as before.
However, unlike the previous state where they were exhausted and sleepy and could fall asleep at any time, the team at this time, although quiet, was full of energy.
This is the regulating effect of consciousness on the body.
The eldest brother had a smile on his face and was very satisfied with the reaction of everyone in the tribe.
After the team walked forward quietly for a while, the scenery on both sides became more and more familiar, and soon they saw the outline of the Tongshan residential area under the moonlight.
In the northeast of the Tongshan residential area, about three miles away, there were some flashes of fire. It didn't take much to figure out that those flames were where those who dared to come and attack the Tongshan residential area were.
The senior brother asked people to stop and went from the Bronze Expressway to the fields on the side of the road, so that everyone could not stand out.
Although he knew that the distance was so far, it was still at night, and it was almost midnight, and it was impossible for the enemies to find him and others, the senior brother still wanted to do this.
His character and identity make him act very cautiously.
After instructing everyone to wait here quietly, not to talk, and to sit down and rest, eat some cold food, drink some cold drinks, and never light a fire, the senior brother led a few people and quietly walked towards the Tongshan residential area that stood there.
past.
The Tongshan residential area looks very quiet in the night, but if you get close, you can see some figures walking around, those are the people responsible for patrolling.
The senior brother nodded again, feeling very satisfied that the people stationed in the Tongshan residential area could do this.
It was at this time that a small fire flashed on the wall, and then the fire began to grow larger.
Just when the senior brother and several other people who came with him thought that the people above felt cold and wanted to light some fire to keep warm, the light suddenly flew down from the top of the wall.
"Who?!"
Before the eldest brother and the others could figure out what was going on, shouts could already be heard from the wall.
With this sound, there was movement on the originally quiet wall. Many people stood up one after another, holding stones, bows, arrows, javelins and other things in their hands, and were about to throw them down.
"Don't panic, they are wearing rattan armor and helmets, and they seem to have rattan shields in their hands!"
There was someone with sharp eyes on the wall who noticed something was wrong and quickly shouted.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all stopped.
"It's us! We came from the tribe! There is also the leader, the leader is here!"
At this time, the senior brother and others probably realized what had just happened, and someone quickly spoke up to identify himself.
Even a senior brother who was as calm as a senior brother couldn't help but reach out and wipe the sweat from his forehead.
The people on the wall were sweating even harder.
If they hadn't stopped just now, the matter would have been too serious.
But we can't blame them for this. According to previous calculations, it will take almost the fourth day for the people from the main tribe to come.
And even if they came in advance, it would have been during the day. But now, it was only the second day after the Garnet-headed Sparrows left, and it was still at night. It was basically midnight. Who would have thought that the leader and the others would come over.
"Chief, how did you get here so fast?"
After confirming their identities, people from the Tongshan residential area hurried down, opened the gate, and told the senior brother and the others to follow the route out of the lime circle to avoid falling into the trap.
After closing the door again and bolting it, Shang, who already knew the news, asked questions full of excitement and confusion.
The rest of the people in the Tongshan residential area also pricked up their ears. They were also very curious about how the leader could come over so quickly.
"Guantou and Sparrow didn't have any rest yesterday and ran back to the tribe overnight to pass the news back.
After Wu heard about it, he immediately ordered people to deal with it. We took weapons and set out all night. Now we have finally arrived."
The senior brother smiled and said, with some lightness in his voice. He did not describe such behavior in a deliberately emphatic tone, as if it was just a common thing.
But when these words were heard by Shang and others stationed in the Tongshan residential area, many things immediately rose in their hearts. Everyone felt that their eye sockets were hot, and something rose from their chests and headed towards their brains.
And go.
He ran back to the tribe overnight and set out from the tribe overnight...
What originally took at least four days to complete was now completed in only two days.
They could feel how heavy these light words were.
This is their tribe!! These are the people of their tribe!!
Hearing that people from the same tribe were being bullied and attacked, I couldn't sleep, so I rushed here all night long!
Living in such a tribe and living with such people is really touching and reassuring.
"leader……"
Shang called out to the leader, but couldn't say the rest of the words. The rest of the people in the Tongshan residential area were also the same, with severe excitement in their chests.
"It's okay, we are all from the same tribe, so we should do this."
The elder brother said with a smile.
"Think about what to do quickly and catch these people as soon as possible. We still need to plow crops in the spring."
So the eldest brother, Shang and others went up to the wall and began to discuss quietly. The commotion that had just arisen quickly subsided.
In the distance, beside the burning fire, the leader of the Blackstone tribe sat up from the ground and looked in the direction of the Tongshan residential area.
Just now, he vaguely seemed to hear some noise.
But when I looked at it now, I saw that the strange cave was still the same as before, and I didn't see anything different.
The leader of the Black Stone Tribe rubbed his eyes, turned around and saw the many arrows they had polished and the rough wooden boards piled there, and the last doubt in his heart completely disappeared.
No matter what, the tribe in front of them will definitely be conquered by them, and everything inside will become theirs.
He lay down again, with this mood in mind, and thought beautifully for a while, and not long after, he fell asleep again.
At this time, in the Tongshan residential area, the closed door opened again, and people carrying hot meals quietly walked out of the door and walked towards the Bronze Expressway.
This was the order Shang issued as soon as he learned that his senior brother and other people from the main tribe were coming.
The Tongshan residential area is surrounded by walls, and cooking is not done in the open air, but in a special dining hall.
These facilities do not guarantee that people outside cannot see the fire produced by cooking in their tribe.
Of course, it doesn't matter even if you see them. After all, the enemies who come to attack the tribe are aware of their existence and are not afraid of exposing anything.
"Drink some hot soup to warm your body and relieve fatigue."
After they arrived here, they poured out bowls of broth under the moonlight and handed them to the tribesmen who had traveled from the main tribe for nearly a day and night without much rest.
The people who came from the main tribe put the already cold food in their hands into the steaming broth, put the bowl to their mouths and sucked the hot soup. After one gulp, they felt warm all over.
Very comfortable.
Of course, what is more comfortable and warm than their bodies is their hearts.
On the wall, the senior brothers were also eating with bowls. While eating, the senior brothers were still talking, mainly asking Shang and others about the situation of the enemies, and at the same time they were also talking about how to do it.
Catch as many of these people as possible.
It is necessary to learn from the methods used by the Son of God to deal with semi-agricultural tribes, but some changes need to be made in some places. After all, the situation here in the Tongshan residential area is still different from that of the semi-agricultural tribes, and the terrain also needs to be improved.
It is much more open than the semi-agricultural tribe.
Under the continuous influence of Han Cheng, a man from later generations, the people in the tribe have seen many things that they have never seen before, as well as some ways to deal with things. Under such circumstances, Senior Brother, Shang and others do
Naturally, there are far more methods for getting things done than before.
After discussing this for a while, we decided on what to do next.
"Haha, well done."
After confirming all these things, the eldest brother began to ask Shang how he kept these people. After knowing what Shang did, the eldest brother couldn't help but laugh out loud and put his hand on Shang's shoulder.
He clapped his hands to express his approval of Shang's actions.
After the matter was settled, the senior brother left the Tongshan residential area.
He wants to end this war as soon as possible and get rid of all these enemies, so he needs to hurry up.
Many things that need to be prepared need to be prepared as much as possible tonight.
Along with the elder brother came out Shang and dozens of slaves from the Tongshan residential area.
These slaves all had tools such as hoe heads and copper shovels in their hands.
These people are all fresh troops. Although most of them have not slept as well as before due to the attack of the Black Stone Tribe in the past two days, compared with the people from the main tribe who have been driving for a day and a night, their condition is undoubtedly much better.
many.
So they have to put more effort into setting up traps and the like.
The senior brother and his team left the tribe and met up with the people waiting outside.
By this time, the people outside had already eaten, and some were sleeping back to back.
Compared with the previous time, the condition is much better.
After arriving here, the senior brother began to make arrangements according to the method discussed with Shang and the others.
Twenty-five citizens of the Qingque tribe were left to ambush on the east side between the place where these enemies temporarily rested and the Tongshan residential area.
Of course, it was different from the resting position when they came, but moved forward a lot, closer to the resting position of the Black Stone Tribe.
The specific location was arranged by Shang. After all, he had lived here for a long time and was more familiar with the surrounding geographical environment.
However, it is more troublesome when hiding, because the surrounding area has basically been reclaimed as farmland. At this time, the crops in the field have either just sprouted, or they have not been planted at all. It is so bare that it is difficult to find a shelter.
place.
In desperation, I had no choice but to avoid the best lurking distance and move the ambush location to the northeast by almost two miles.
There is a ridge that is not too tall, and there are some ravines there. Because it is not suitable for cultivation, there are many dry weeds standing on it, so it is very good to hide the figure.
It's just that it's a little too far away from the tribes that the enemies must pass through, but there aren't many other ways to think of, so we can only make do with this.
But this is not the most important part, it doesn't matter if you make do with it.
After appointing a relatively reliable person as the temporary person in charge, and leaving behind four drums and three gongs, Senior Brother and his large group continued the operation and headed to the west to ambush.
Twenty-five citizens of the Qingque tribe were also left in ambush in the west position. Just like in the east, four drums and three gongs were left with these citizens.
The ambush location for people in the west is relatively close to that of people in the east, but compared with the ideal ambush distance, it is still a bit far.
After arranging these people, the senior brother and others began to walk northwest, quietly bypassing the resting place of the Blackstone Tribe coalition forces, and came to the north.
They stopped about three miles behind the Blackstone Tribe coalition.
The terrain here is also relatively rugged, with two ridges in an overall "eight" shape distributed here, with a larger opening in the south and a smaller opening in the north.
On the two ridges, there are many thorny plants growing densely. Except for some small birds and animals, even the dogs in the tribe will not go here.
As for people, I don’t even think about it.
Because of the existence of these two ridges, if you want to go to the north of the tribe, you either need to take a long detour to both sides, or you need to walk from here.
The Blackstone Tribe Alliance Army came here a few days ago.
The possibility of taking a detour to both sides is basically non-existent. On the one hand, the distance is too far, and on the other hand, the people ambushing on both sides are not vegetarians.
After seeing the terrain here, the senior brother immediately gave Shang a thumbs up. He was very satisfied with this ambush location.
Immediately, people started digging trenches at the narrowest point in the north of the 'eight' shaped valley.
Sixty slaves were brought from the Qingque Lord tribe, plus the fifty from the Tongshan residential area, there were one hundred and ten slaves alone.
Coupled with the more than 130 Qingque tribe citizens, more than 200 people worked together, and it was impossible to dig a hole too quickly.
In order to make full use of their hands and for safety reasons, the Qingque tribe dug five ditches at the same time at the "eight"-shaped exit.
The width of each ditch is between one meter and one and a half meters, and the intervals between several ditches are also different. Some are only one meter, but some are six meters.
Just like when Shang and others dug traps behind the gate, these trench-like traps also have narrow passages left. This is to give time to catch people.
Of course, the passages left between several ditches are staggered from each other, so as to prevent those who are escaping from running all the way down the passage.
Under the continuous influence and leadership of their wretched son of God, the people of the Qingque tribe have become more and more knowledgeable and proficient in how to use destructive tricks.
As this senior brother was not enough, while everyone was digging trenches, he took about ten people and had people lay down three ropes on the north side of Wudaogou.
First dig a shallow trench in the ground, place the rope along the trench, cover it with a thin layer of soil, and then cover it with some dead grass or the like.
But if someone crosses those ditches and escapes, ask someone to pull up the rope to trip them.
There are all kinds of jobs, and the amount of the project is not small, but it can't handle the large number of people and good tools of the Qingque tribe.
When it gets dark and wants to light up, the ditch has been dug and the general layout has been completed.
About half an hour ago, Shang, under the order of his senior brother, led sixty citizens of the Qingque Lord Tribe, bypassing the place where the Blackstone Tribe coalition troops lived, and quietly returned to the Tongshan residential area.
Letting Shang bring back fifty main tribes to become citizens is something that the senior brother has thought about before.
In the battle that is about to begin, the Tongshan residential area needs a lot of effort.
Only by beating the enemies in the Tongshan residential area so that they can escape here can the rest of the arrangement take effect.
In other words, the people in the Tongshan residential area need to face these enemies head-on.
Within the Tongshan residential area, there are more than 70 adult citizens who can wear armor.
According to the equipment and combat power of the Qingque Tribe, these people could defeat almost four hundred enemies, but the senior brother did not want to do this.
So he transferred 60 citizens from the main tribe to the Tongshan residential area.
In this way, the certainty of more than 130 versus 400 will become greater, and the losses can be further reduced.
As for the people guarding the trap, in addition to the 110 slaves, there are still 70 fully armed Qingque tribe citizens, a total of 180 people. It is not a problem to guard this hole.
The sky gradually started to get brighter, and the air was filled with the unique smell of early morning.
After the people here in the trap arranged and perfected the last bit, they fell into silence.
Everyone hid outside the exit. The senior brother asked a few people to stay awake and guard here, while the rest began to eat something or sleep.
This battle, from the beginning to when they needed their help, would take at least three hours of sunrise.
At this time, everyone can seize the opportunity to have a good rest, especially the sixty slaves who came from the main tribe and the seventy Qingque citizens who stayed here.
Not to mention the long journey, traps were laid overnight last night. Everyone was exhausted. Many people were holding on. At this time, the task was completed. After the senior brother gave the order to rest, many people just
As soon as he sat on the ground, he fell asleep.
Some people were drinking water, but after drinking half of it, the water jar fell off their hands...
The sky gradually became brighter, and the Blackstone Tribe Alliance troops sleeping together in groups gradually woke up. The noisy sounds appeared as they woke up, and became louder and louder.
Everyone was moving around in a chaotic manner, like herding sheep.
“#￥5sd!”
The leader of the Black Stone Tribe shouted loudly, asking these people to get food quickly, so that after eating, they could attack the Qingque Tribe.
And he himself, after saying these words, began to eat the baked food fiercely, and did not stop until he was full.
We are going to capture this tribe today, so we naturally need to eat enough.
Not only was he full, but the other tribesmen were also full. This was because the leader of the Blackstone Tribe took out most of the food carried by his tribe for everyone to eat.
The same is true for tribes with more abundant food.
Anyway, they can attack the Qingque tribe today, so they don't have to be so frugal with food.
