Chapter 303 Is there any way?
The siege of Hanyang City came to a stalemate, and Luo Chong was also marching non-stop. At the current speed, it would take at least two more days to reach the slope of Tuoguling.
However, the march did not affect Luo Chong's understanding of the situation in Hanyang City. As soon as the cannibal totem army's attack ended, the Rat Witch immediately sent a letter to Luo Chong, briefly describing the battle situation and the results, and finally asking the leader to give instructions on how to deal with it next.
Luo Chong put away the animal skin letter, rode on the back of Huishan in a daze, thinking about what to pay attention to next.
"Chief, what does the letter say? Is everything okay in Hanyang City?" Rat Da rode the warhorse under his crotch to Luo Chong's elephant, raised his head and asked Luo Chong.
"It's okay. Our city is high and the moat is deep. How can those cannibals be our opponents? Let alone them, even if I give you 1,000 warriors like us, you may not be able to take down Hanyang City.
The enemy sent giant apes to try to climb the city wall, but none of them could climb up. Instead, many of them were killed by our warriors. Later, they shot several rounds of arrows, but their arrows were not only of poor quality, but also pitifully few in number. One person could not shoot more than a few times.
However, there were also smart people among them. They picked up stones from the river and threw them on the city wall, hitting many tribesmen. Fortunately, no one was killed directly. Only dozens of people were slightly injured. Now they have been dealt with." Luo Chong briefly described the defense situation.
"Oh, it's good that no one died. Hehehe, now as long as they don't leave and we successfully complete the plan, we can catch them all in one fell swoop." After listening to Luo Chong's introduction to the battle situation, Shu Da smiled sinisterly.
"Well, it's good to have the confidence to win. It's almost noon now. Let's find a place to stop and rest. We don't need to rush now." Luo Chong ordered again.
"Yes, chief, I obey your order." Shu Da shouted to Luo Chong in a very immature way.
The group quickly found a place to stop. Some cooked and some urinated. Luo Chong also took this opportunity to write a reply to Shu Wu and his friends.
"I have received your letter. You have done a good job. You must ensure the safety of the tribesmen and treat the injured as soon as possible.
In addition, try to attract the enemy to the west gate and don't let them get too close to the rice fields to avoid damage to the rice and reduce production.
Don't shoot the enemy easily, just hold them back. I have a plan to capture these enemies alive. They will all be our slaves in the future. Kill as few as possible. We still need to keep them for work." Luo Chong arranged the next things in the letter directly, and then asked Bazooka to send the reply back.
In the next two days, the cannibal totem army was still holding out against Hanyang City. They sent most of their troops to guard the four city gates, and asked the rest to go to the mountains to collect firewood and hunt around.
Luo Chong had already led his team to sneak across the river from somewhere else to the west bank. They did not dare to take the bridge, fearing that they would directly collide with the cannibal totem army. In this way, there would be no tactical effect of a surprise attack, so they kept walking in a big circle and quietly approached the slope of Tuoguling.
While Luo Chong led the team to march quietly, in the past few days, the tribes that came to participate in the April market in Hanyang City also sent trading teams to Hanyang City. However, before they arrived, they ran into the cannibal warriors who were sent out to hunt in the mountains.
In the mountains around Hanyang City, because of the rise of the Han tribe and the long-term hunting, the surrounding wild animals no longer dared to come here. The cannibal hunters were worried about not being able to find prey, and these trading teams were delivered to their doorsteps. They didn't think there was anything abnormal about this. Eating people was what they were best at. It was bad luck for those people to run into them this time.
Fortunately, most of the people sent to Hanyang City for trading were the strongest warriors in their respective tribes. In addition, there were not many cannibals who came to hunt, and most of them were in small groups. Therefore, in this case, even if someone was caught or killed, there would always be a few people who could escape. After
all, they were people who often came to the Han tribe to trade, and they had already figured out the terrain along the way and could find their way back with their eyes closed. In this way, before Luo Chong could go to rescue them, most of them had already shaken off the pursuers behind them and hid in the mountains, not knowing what to do.
After another day, Luo Chong's team finally arrived at Tuogu Ridge, and immediately encountered several foreign warriors who had been separated from each other because of fleeing.
"Great leader of the Han tribe, please help us. Several of our tribesmen have been captured by those totem warriors. They may still be alive. I hope that leader Han can lead troops to reinforce and rescue our captured tribesmen."
A man who looked very miserable pleaded with Luo Chong. This guy was from Feishi tribe. There were 15 tribesmen who came out together this time, but in the end, only six or seven of them escaped, and they got separated from each other. In the end, only two people met Luo Chong.
"Yes, yes, please help us, leader of the Han tribe. We also have tribesmen from the Cha tribe who have been captured by the enemy. The Han tribe is powerful and well-armed. I beg the leader of the Han tribe to send troops to help us and take back the captured tribesmen, otherwise it may be too late." A short man from the Cha tribe knelt in front of Luo Chong and said.
"You should stand up and speak first. It's not that I won't help you, but the number of enemies is too large. You may not have reached the periphery of Hanyang City and don't know the current situation there. The cannibal army is coming. There are more than 1,000 male totem warriors who have surrounded the four gates of Hanyang City. Otherwise, we would not have been able to sneak here to think of a solution."
Luo Chong first rejected the two people's plea, and then talked about the current siege crisis of Hanyang City. The number of enemies and us is very different. It is difficult to protect ourselves, so how can we spare the energy to care about others.
"Ah? So that's the case. Even Hanyang City has been surrounded by them?!" The short man from the Fork Tribe said in surprise.
"Then I wonder if the leader of the Han Tribe has thought of a way to rescue our captured tribesmen. If there is a way, the sooner the better, otherwise it may be too late." The downtrodden man from the Feishi Tribe also asked nervously.
"After your people were captured, they must have been taken to Hanyang City. But they are so numerous now, and we are so few in number that we cannot rescue them.
Unless we have more people, maybe 1,000 or 2,000, we can rush over directly and cooperate with the defenders in the city. We will definitely be able to defeat the enemy and rescue our captured people."
