Chapter 194: Strategies to Defeat the Enemy (Whatever you decide)
"Well, I'll go and arrange for the tribesmen to eat first." The elder may have been infected by Luo Chong's emotions and also showed a worried look.
"Wait, forget it, let the tribesmen go to eat and rest, and we'll talk about harvesting rice tomorrow.
In addition, Shu Da, you go and arrange 100 soldiers to take turns to guard the night. Pay attention to the direction of the wooden bridge and the back mountain in the north. These two places must be strictly guarded.
The rest of the tribesmen go to rest. There are only more than 200 enemies. Although we should pay attention to them, we don't need to be afraid. We have bronze spears and bows and arrows. Didn't we defeat all 300 people from the Fire Tribe before? Hahahaha, what are these enemies? As long as they dare to come, we will let them come and never return."
Seeing that the high-level people around him were all worried, Luo Chong knew he was wrong. He was worried, and even a little scared, but he was the leader and couldn't show it.
The commander was afraid before the battle, how could the soldiers below still have morale? When the fight really breaks out, the soldiers might just run away. This is very real.
So Luo Chong immediately changed the arrangement, and then forced himself to be calm and show confidence in victory. He first appeased the tribesmen, otherwise there would be no fight.
When the senior officials heard what the leader said, they also cooperated with a look of relief. The leader was a god-like existence. There was nothing that the leader could not do. He must have a way, right?
This was what the senior officials thought in their hearts. Although it might be self-consolation, the leader was not an ordinary person after all.
The tribesmen went to eat. This matter was not concealed from the tribesmen, and it could not be concealed. However, everyone only knew that more than 200 enemies were about to attack the Han tribe, and the leader had to dispatch 100 men to patrol at night. They did not know the specific situation, such as the fact that there were more than a dozen man-eating apes.
During the meal, the tribesmen were still discussing this matter, but most of them were in a mocking attitude. The Han tribe was very powerful, with excellent weapons and a large population. It was simply a joke that 200 enemies wanted to attack the Han tribe.
This kind of talk was first made by the group of soldiers who participated in the Tuoguling blocking battle and the group of soldiers who attacked the Fire Tribe. They didn't care about the 200 enemies at all. The
only ones who were really worried were the dozen or so old tribesmen who had encountered the man-eating apes, but they would not say it out loud. They also believed that the leader would definitely come up with a solution. The last time they were beaten so badly was just because they were ambushed and it was an unprepared battle.
Does Luo Chong have a solution? He should have. He didn't sleep all night and kept thinking about the strategy to defeat the enemy.
The more than 200 humans are not to be feared at all. Even if they are equipped with rattan shields, you can predict the quality of the rattan shields without looking at them. They must be so crude that it is outrageous. Even if the rattan shields are finely processed, they can't stop the bronze-cast arrows within 100 meters. What really needs to be paid attention to are the dozen or so man-eating apes.
Man-eating apes are very strong and good at climbing. They can quickly shuttle through the woods. This is their advantage, but also the disadvantage of the Han tribe. Therefore, the battlefield must not be in the woods. It was because of the encounter in the woods last time that they suffered such a big loss.
Since we knew the intelligence in advance, we had to prepare. Luo Chong had to choose an open area as the battlefield. If it was a forest, it would not be suitable for the Han tribe's arrow array to show its power.
Another point to note is that we cannot let the man-eating apes gather together. If they come out individually, the Han tribe can find a way to kill them with their large numbers. If ten people are not enough, then twenty people can be used. So when fighting, we must find a way to separate them, and then a group of people will surround and beat them.
Another thing is to use some method to reduce the combat effectiveness of the man-eating apes. This is a tactical level, and special weapons can be used to achieve the goal.
Explosives are not okay. At present, Luo Chong only has nitroglycerin to prepare it in a short time, but that thing is very unstable and is a highly sensitive explosive. It is okay to use it for fixed-point blasting, but it is difficult to blow up the agile man-eating apes. It will not stay there and wait for you to blow it up.
It is not realistic to make throwing weapons. There is not enough material to make high-powered lethal weapons such as grenades, so hot weapons were rejected by Luo Chong. He could only start with cold weapons
. It would take a day or two to make anything with cold weapons. He could only rely on the existing bronze spears and bows and arrows. The best way was to find a way to restrict the movement of the man-eating apes, using ropes or large nets. Even the most powerful strongman would be useless if he was covered in a net, and his movement would definitely be hindered.
However, the Han tribe did not have a large net, but there was no shortage of ropes. Thinking of this, Luo Chong got up and left the hut.
"Luo Chong, where are you going?" Xiaodie also sat up and asked.
"It's okay, you can continue to sleep. I'll go and arrange something for Shouya and I'll be back soon." Luo Chong turned around and said, then turned around and went out to find Shouya.
Shouya, who was on guard outside, saw Luo Chong coming in the moonlight and hurriedly got up and asked.
"Chief, why are you here? What's the matter?"
"Oh, have the people I asked you to arrange to report to the Bian tribe gone?"
"No, I want to wait until it's a little brighter before sending them, but I've already arranged the people. Do we need to send them now? Would it be unsafe to go at night?" Shouya replied.
"Oh, that's good. You don't have to leave now. I just came to tell you that when you send people to the Bian tribe tomorrow, ask them for some large nets. It's better to have more than 20 nets, woven with thick ropes, the kind their hunting team uses to catch wild animals." Luo Chong explained.
Shouya's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had also been to the Bian tribe with the hunting patrol team and knew that the Bian tribe was good at using nets to hunt wild animals. Now the chief wanted a net that was obviously not for hunting.
"Chief, are we going to use the big net to catch those monsters?"
"Not to catch them, but to restrict them from running. Those things run too fast. If we let them run around, our soldiers will suffer a lot and there will be a lot of casualties. Using nets can reduce some unnecessary sacrifices." Luo Chong explained.
"This is a good idea, but since they run so fast, they won't stand there and let us use the net to cover them."
Shouya was happy for a moment, and then he immediately simulated it in his mind. This method is good, but the actual operation is quite difficult.
Luo Chong was also stunned for a moment. He really didn't notice this detail, but there is a way to cover the man-eating ape. Luo Chong immediately thought of a very simple and extremely lethal weapon, and it was already available in the Han tribe, so he could use it right away.
It's just that this tactic is a bit despicable and can be regarded as a dirty trick, but when it comes to life and death, who will care about these things? A method that can kill the enemy is a good method.
