He watched from the city wall for a while, making sure those people had gone far away and hadn't come back. When the third team arrived, he talked to the team leader, arranged the guards, and then hurried to find Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu was watching people spinning hemp yarn in the carpentry team. When he heard about this, he was not panicked but excited instead.
She had been training the soldiers in the tribe for so long, and their weapons had been forged, so she felt it was time to give them some practice.
But she wasn't one to seek trouble. She couldn't attack another tribe without being provoked. Besides, attacking them was dangerous and would result in heavy casualties. That wouldn't be training, but suicide. Now someone was offering them a chance to practice, which she considered a good thing.
With carefully constructed defensive fortifications and long-range weapons like spears and bows and arrows, the people of the Dragon Tribe were in no danger as long as the invaders were not large tribes like the Sifang Tribe.
Qiao Yu first sent members of the carpentry team to notify the elders and team leaders to come to the office for a meeting. Then he said to Dian and Lu Yan, "Let's go. We can talk as we walk."
She asked: "How do you think we should deal with what happened today?"
Dian also knew that Qiao Yu was testing him, and his performance would most likely determine his future position in Qiao Yu's heart and whether he would be reused.
Although he had a clear understanding of the tribe's defenses when they were building the walls, digging the moat, and digging the traps, and Qiao Yu had discussed with him where to set up the outposts, he had often imagined how he would respond if the enemy attacked the tribe. But he didn't answer immediately.
He thought carefully before saying, "We don't know who the enemy is, or how many they have. Furthermore, they don't know the situation within our tribe, so they won't attack us rashly. So, I think we should have everyone ready to respond at any time. For now, we'll just send two teams on patrol. Yu, you and the elders will hold a meeting to figure out how to deploy personnel and respond. If they attack, everyone in the tribe will move to their respective positions and defend their own areas."
"Not bad," Qiao Yu praised, and then asked, "If I give you the command of this battle, how do you think we should arrange the personnel and defense?"
"Ah?" Dian couldn't believe his ears.
Let him command this battle? Is this what Yu just said?
Seeing Qiao Yu nod with a smile, he finally reacted and his face flushed with excitement.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
After thinking about the plan he'd been thinking about, he said, "In the tribe, apart from the part where the city wall is built, the rest of the area is either cliffs or moats. They can't get in at all. The only way is to attack the city wall. We must first determine their number. If they're small, we can pretend not to notice them, intentionally give them a loophole, and let them in through one of the city gates. Our people will ambush around there in advance, and once they've all entered, we'll shoot arrows from all directions..."
At this point, he suddenly scratched his head and said in frustration, "I forgot. We have to catch them alive. We can't just shoot them. If we catch them alive, we have to use traps. But how do we lure them into the traps?"
Having said that, he fell into deep thought.
The enemy this time was completely different from the situation when the Stone Tribe attacked the Valley Tribe. It was night, and because they had explored the route and made various plans, they were very confident, so they entered the encirclement set by the Valley Tribe.
Although traps were dug in front of the Dragon Tribe's gate, there were few enemies and all those coming in and out were from the tribe. Don't miss out on seeing the enemy and end up falling into a trap and losing your life. In addition, a wall was built at the front gate, so the safety factor was relatively high. Therefore, no traps were dug at the main gate, but two traps were dug on both sides where people rarely walked and which were also blind spots in the defense.
Unless the enemy wanted to enter the city from there, those two traps were completely useless.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Qiao Yu asked, "They don't know what the situation is like in the tribe. What will they do before the attack?"
Dian thought for a moment and asked, "Sneak in to check the situation?"
Qiao Yu nodded and asked, "When will they sneak in?"
"night."
"You have people patrolling with torches in places you don't want him to go, and you leave the places you do want him to go undefended. What will happen to him then?"
Dian clapped his hands and said, "Then he must have gone to that dark and unguarded place, and thus fell into our trap." When he said this, his eyes lit up and he wished it would be night soon.
"But only a few have sneaked in to gather information. What about the others?" Qiao Yu asked. "Also, how do we know how many people there are and what their situation is?"
This time, his brows were furrowed and did not relax for a long time.
Opening the city gate and sending people out to investigate would definitely not work, as it would alert the enemy. Furthermore, if the enemy had a large number of people, they would immediately attack upon seeing the city gate open, putting the tribe in danger.
If neither the main door nor the side door can be opened, how can we go out to find out the news?
An idea suddenly flashed through the computer: "Take a raft out from the river and go around to the outside of the tribe. There's no need to get close to them. They always have fires to cook and stay warm. We just need to see how many smoke spots or fires there are, and we can find out how many people they've sent."
Qiao Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Very good."
Lu Yan had been listening to their conversation and looked at Dian with a very complicated look.
He prided himself on being very smart, but now he discovered that Dian was better than him in this area, and he had actually let Qiao Yu let him take command of the battle. The layout and ideas he had made were also very good. Lu Yan couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
As they were talking, they had already reached the office door and met the elders and team leaders who were rushing over.
"I heard that there are people coming from outside the tribe?" Lu asked with a pale face.
"Yes." Qiao Yu nodded, "Let's go in and talk."
Everyone entered the office and sat down around a rectangular table.
Qiao Yu asked Dian to explain the situation to everyone, saying, "Dian is quite talented in fighting. I asked him about his ideas on the way here just now, and I think his ideas are good. Now let him share them with everyone."
As she spoke, she gestured towards the electricity.
Dian swallowed hard and told him everything he was thinking.
Hearing that someone was spying on them, or even planning to attack the tribe, many people were at a loss. Even those who had some ideas weren't very comprehensive or sophisticated.
Now, when they heard the idea of electricity, everyone nodded and said, "This is a good idea, very good."
Qiao Yu said, "Since everyone thinks it's a good idea, I'll hand over the command of this battle to Dian and let him give it a try."
