After ten years in the apocalypse, Qiao Yu died in battle. When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated to primitive society.
Her father, Shan, the tribal chief, was bitten by a tige...
At this time, everyone had reached the back mountain.
The mountain was carried up by people on their backs.
He looked at the wide back mountain and felt worried. He didn't know how to arrange people to keep the people of the Stone Tribe out and minimize the casualties among his own tribe.
It seemed there was no way to avoid a fight. Death was inevitable. The Valley Tribe and the Stone Tribe had similar numbers, so it was hard to predict who would win in the end. And if they were defeated here, and the Stone Tribe invaded the valley, their tribe would be doomed.
Furthermore, Hei, the strongest member of the tribe, was still at the sentry post and couldn't make it back. The two men guarding the first sentry post also couldn't return, and their combined strength ranked them in the top twelve. Thus, the tribe was missing three key players.
After this battle, the valley tribe is in danger.
Seeing that Ye Shan was hesitant to give orders, everyone looked around, then looked at their own people, and roughly understood Ye Shan's difficulties and the current situation of the tribe. Everyone's mood suddenly became extremely low.
"It would be great if Yu was in the tribe." Someone said, "Yu is so smart, he will definitely come up with a good plan to help us defeat the Stone Tribe."
The more Man thought about it, the more he felt that there was something fishy about this matter.
But with the battle imminent, he had no choice but to suppress his speculation. Seeing that Shan was slow to give orders, he hurried over and said to Shan: "When I came back, Yu told me in detail how to set a trap on the back mountain."
When Yan heard this, his expression changed.
Man pointed at the back mountain and continued, "Although the area of the back mountain is large, not all places are walkable. Some places are covered with thorns, some places have huge rocks blocking the way, and some places are difficult to pass even if the vines and trees are half-dead. When we set traps, we only need to place them where there are no such obstacles."
Lu also followed him to the back of the mountain. He was as worried as the mountain, thinking about how to deploy his troops so that the Valley Tribe would gain an advantage, reduce the number of casualties, and save the tribe.
Hearing Man still talking about "traps, traps", a surge of anger suddenly rose from the bottom of Lu's heart.
He shouted at Man, "Is this the time to talk about setting traps? The enemy is already here, how can we have time to dig traps? Aren't you talking nonsense?"
Hearing his voice, everyone in the tribe looked over here.
Man's face flushed red.
Shan understood Man's intention.
He asked, "You mean, instead of spreading our men out so thinly, we can ambush them in a few places where they're bound to pass by, and thus gain the upper hand?"
"Yes." Man said.
"After I came back from the trade fair, I went to the back mountain with Shu and Liushui to study where it would be more appropriate to dig traps. The place we chose to dig traps is the place they must pass by." Mandao.
Shan looked at him admiringly and said, "Okay, I will hand over the command of the tribe to you now. You will arrange how the tribe members will ambush."
He knew that Man was his daughter's most valued subordinate, and she even considered making him deputy leader. However, Man was not very strong and had not done anything remarkable in the tribe. If he were to be promoted suddenly, many people would be dissatisfied. That was why Qiao Yu had not raised the topic before.
Now, in the tribe's most difficult time, Man stepped forward and offered his own suggestions. Shan felt that this was a sign of responsibility, superior to the trees and flowing water that had also received guidance from Yu. Naturally, he was happy to give Man a chance to demonstrate his abilities. After all, there was no better solution than Man's.
Qinglang and Yan did not go to the sentry duty today. Seeing that Man had taken command, they felt very resentful, but they had no better way and could only watch Man take the limelight.
There is a saying that goes, opportunities come to those who are prepared.
After returning to the tribe, Man not only observed the situation in the back mountain with the trees and flowing water, but he also kept thinking about how to better concentrate his forces to annihilate the enemy.
Despite being given a sudden and urgent mission, he remained calm. He called out a few names, led them to a spot, and said, "Four of you, stand guard behind this large rock. If anyone comes out from here, use your bone knives to chop them. Once the first two have taken action, the last two should hold back to prevent the person behind them from coming in."
After arranging the four men, he called the names of several others and led them to a clump of dead trees. He said to them, "Now quickly find some dead branches and leaves and pile them here to block your bodies. If anyone comes through here, you will attack."
When Man stood up, many in the tribe, like Qinglang and Yan, were dissatisfied. However, thanks to Qiao Yu, they had changed their minds, believing that strength was no longer the only criterion for ability. They also acknowledged that Man was indeed capable and, in terms of intelligence, superior to them.
But in their minds, Man had always been seen as a dog-headed military strategist. Previously, Man had stayed by Hei's side, offering advice only after pain had passed, but due to his lack of strength, he could only retreat when faced with difficulties. Now that he was with Yu, this stereotype hadn't changed much.
But as he arranged each place one by one, everyone's impression of him changed greatly.
We all have brains, and if you think about Man's layout, you can see that he has thought it through carefully. There is no better way than his layout.
According to his plan, although people will die in the fight, the casualties of the valley tribe will be greatly reduced.
That's enough.
Everyone's recognition of Man grew, but Man himself felt increasingly guilty.
The number of people he sent to guard each location was already the minimum. However, the area behind the mountain was so large that there were many places where people could pass through. The tribes in the valley didn't have many men. Even if he deployed all the people, there would still be some places that were empty. Because there was no one available.
In the end, he could only pray to God not to let the people of the Stone Tribe go to those undefended places, and that the Valley Tribe would not perish.
Shan Helu and a few others who were familiar with the situation in the back mountain saw that fewer and fewer people were left there waiting for arrangements, and everyone also realized that the full layout was stretched.
Everyone was filled with despair - was it still no use?
After Man had arranged for all the available people in the tribe, Shan asked Man, "Are there still some places where people can go?"
At this moment, not only the elders Shan and Lu, but also the others had noticed it.
After all, the men who hunt in the mountains all year round know clearly where people can walk and where they cannot.
"Yes," Man said, "The mountain behind is too big and we are too few in number. We could have solved this problem if we had dug a few traps, but we don't have time."
