Chapter 852 Listen to the Sound of a Broken Heart



The people on the wall couldn't help but smile when they saw Liutou and Maque riding donkeys along the Bronze Highway heading east.

With the fully built bronze highway and the donkey, the two of them will be able to reach the main tribe by tomorrow morning and tell the witch and the leader the news here.

The chief and his men will be able to react quickly and arrive in two and a half days. By then, all these people will become slaves of their tribe!

Thinking of this, the people in the Tongshan residential area could not help but feel deep respect for the Son of God's foresight.

If the Son of God had not proposed building the Bronze Highway and put it into action, if we were faced with the situation today, it would take at least ten days for the people here to set out to the main tribe to report the news, and for the people in the main tribe to receive the news and rush over.

Ten days can change a lot of things.

At least Shang felt that he could hold off these people who suddenly invaded his tribe for four days. But if it took ten days, it would be impossible...

Before long, the women in the tribe who had gotten up early had prepared the food and were carrying it over the wall.

The food is very rich, and the morning meal is millet rice which is very filling.

Shang also had someone kill a sheep and boil two large jars of mutton soup, which they poured over millet rice and ate.

Fighting is a very energy-consuming thing, and you can't do it without eating enough.

Shang put food into his mouth while squinting his eyes to look at the enemies.

Those people had already gotten up by now, and there were several plumes of smoke rising from the millet fields in the distance.

These people were scattered in groups of two or three there and further away, moving around constantly.

Seeing this kind of scene, Shang really wanted to go out and poke some transparent holes in these guys one by one.

Those were the fields of their tribe. The land had been plowed and more than half of it was planted with millet. But now it was being destroyed by these people.

Shang has made up his mind. After catching all these people, he will make them dig the ground for the tribe. He will not be called Shang until they are tired and cry!

He worked in the fields all day yesterday and only slept for a short while last night. Despite this, Shang still looked very energetic and full of energy, though there were some bloodshot eyes.

As time passed, the sun rose, turning from red to yellow. The thin morning mist was dispelled, allowing everyone to see the situation over there better.

The people in the Tongshan residential area had already eaten for a long time, but those led by the Black Stone Tribe were still gathering around the fire to roast food.

It was not until the sun was high in the sky that the last tribe had their food.

However, they did not immediately organize people to launch an attack on the Tongshan residential area, but dispersed at a certain distance from the Tongshan residential area.

Some people found water sources and put fish cages in them, while more people were looking for stone slabs and peeling off the thick bark from the trees.

They planned to use these things to resist the threat of bows and arrows from the Qingque tribe.

With the lessons learned from yesterday, and having experienced the ferocious attacks of the Green Bird Tribe, these people no longer dared to rush towards the Tongshan residential area so recklessly and chaotically.

Instead, they all followed the instructions of the leader of the Black Rock Tribe and looked for something to cover their bodies.

They didn't find many things like stone slabs. Most of the flat things around here that could be called stone slabs had been brought to the Tongshan residential area by the hardworking people of the Qingque tribe a few years ago and used for paving the ground.

Therefore, what they did most was to use stones to chisel the bark on the tree trunks, and then peel off large chunks to use for self-defense.

The leader of the Blackrock tribe also became more generous and asked the people of their tribe to use sharper Blackrock weapons to cut down some tree trunks, and then use stones to nail sharpened wooden sticks into the tree trunks. After a row of sticks were nailed down, the tree trunk would be stretched open, and rough and simple wooden boards could be obtained.

The Black Rock Tribe did not take these stretched wooden boards, but gave them to the rest of the people.

Compared with tree bark, the defensive ability of this rough wooden board is undoubtedly stronger. Not to mention feather arrows, even if a stone hits it, the people staying behind will be fine.

"#¥5RT!"

The leader of the Black Rock Tribe stood here, yelling and cursing at the Copper Mountain residential area from afar.

What he meant was that he really didn't know how this tribe managed to do it. There were no trees in a large area around them, so they had to run a long way back just to peel off the bark and cut down some trees.

Without these plants, not only was it inconvenient to cut down trees, but it also made it impossible for them to hide their bodies, so they would be seen from a long distance.

"These people are so kind that they have already started cutting down trees before becoming slaves of our tribe."

On the wall, someone from the Qingque tribe who saw this situation smiled and said to the people around him.

People found what he said interesting and started laughing.

Shang was taking a nap against the wall at the moment. Judging from the behavior of these people, they would not come to attack his tribe in the short term.

Moreover, there are so many people watching, and those people are so far away from their tribe. By the time they start to attack, it will be in time for them to react.

Shang even let more than half of the people go down the wall and sleep in the houses, while the others went to feed the animals in the tribe.

We can't just waste our time here, otherwise when those people really start attacking our tribe, we will lose our energy.

However, Shang also made special instructions, that is, the vine armor on the body must not be removed when sleeping or doing other things.

In this way, when you hear the warning gong, you can run to the wall and defend yourself immediately.

As for why those people did not attack his tribe, Shang was not too worried.

It would be better if they didn't attack, as he would be happy to have some free time. Besides, if he killed one more person now, their tribe would have one less slave later.

As long as they don't run away, they can do whatever they want.

It is best to wait until the people from the main tribe come over. If they are all like this, don't launch an attack.

"#¥5FG!"

The leader of the Blackrock Tribe stood on the Bronze Highway and turned his head to look east along the Bronze Highway.

This thing, which looked very flat and had no trees growing on it, extended far away to a place he could not see.

He stood here, watching all this, scratching his head in confusion.

He couldn't figure out why such a thing appeared, nor did he know what it was used for, let alone where it led to.

This was the first time he had seen such a strange thing.

Tree Bark was also confused as he looked at this strange thing that stretched from the wall to a place with no end in sight.

It was true that he had lived in the Qingque tribe for some time, but he had never seen such a strange thing.

The leader of the Blackrock tribe seemed to be walking slowly and cautiously. When he saw that there was no special reaction, he began to grow bolder.

He quickened his pace, increased the strength of his feet, and even jumped up and stomped his feet hard a few times.

But no matter what he did, the strange thing under his feet didn't react.

This made him feel vaguely proud.

After walking back and forth on it, and even running a few times, the leader of the Black Rock Tribe roughly understood the purpose of this strange thing.

Through the test just now, he found that it would be more comfortable to walk on such a strange thing, without worrying about being tripped by anything.

If you run, you can run faster than in other places.

After knowing this, the leader of the Black Stone Tribe laughed. He thought that the people of the Green Bird Tribe were really stupid. Why would they spend so much effort to do such a thing?

This thing is useless except that it makes walking more comfortable.

Moreover, even if you run faster on it, what's the point? This strange thing is bare, with only some grass and no big trees. There is no prey coming here at all.

There are many people in the Green Bird tribe, and there are so many good things, but I didn't expect that they would be so stupid as to make such useless things.

With such strength, wouldn't it be better to find someone to hide in the bushes with?

After what happened yesterday evening, the leader of the Black Stone Tribe was still somewhat worried about the Green Bird Tribe.

But now, after discovering that they were actually doing such a stupid thing, the vague worry in the leader of the Blackrock Tribe suddenly disappeared.

If the people in this tribe can do such a stupid thing, how could they stop someone as smart as me?

Tree Bark, who was standing on the Bronze Highway with the leader of the Black Stone Tribe, was full of amazement. He was once again shocked by the generosity of the Green Bird Tribe.

Can humans really build something that has no end in sight?

As for stupidity?

Bark doesn't think so.

Although he had not lived in the Qingque tribe for a long time, he had a deep understanding of the wisdom of the Son of God. That man would not do anything stupid. Everything he did had his purpose. This thing in front of him, which seemed to be something that could not be accomplished by human power, must have a very important function, otherwise the Son of God of this tribe would definitely not let anyone do it.

On the wall, some people from the Green Bird Tribe couldn't help laughing as they looked at those people who seemed very curious and made all kinds of strange movements on the Bronze Highway.

Because these people's behavior looks very funny, and they look like they have never seen the world...

"Bang, bang, bang~"

The shrill sound of the gong finally rang again, and this time, the sun had already set again.

The people in the Tongshan residential area, who had already been mentally prepared, got ready when they heard the harsh gong sound. Those who were already on the wall drew their bows, and the slaves who could not use bows and arrows held javelins and stones in their hands.

People who were resting in the houses or courtyards also quickly came to the wall when the gong sounded. After any chaos, they had found their respective positions.

After the people of the Green Bird Tribe had made their preparations, the Black Stone Tribe and other coalition forces that were about to launch another attack had not yet arrived at the battlefield.

Yesterday, everyone rushed towards this strange tribe, and they didn't think anything of it. Today, everyone had yesterday's experience, and they no longer rushed forward in a panic like yesterday. When they heard the piercing sound and saw the people who quickly appeared above the strange cave amid the piercing sound, they had different feelings in their hearts.

Those who had felt very confident after blocking themselves with tree bark or wooden boards, saw this scene, and the confidence they had built up with great difficulty immediately disappeared by more than half.

It’s not that they don’t have the courage, it’s just that the people of the Green Bird Tribe reacted too quickly.

In addition, they were severely beaten by the people of the Green Bird Tribe yesterday evening. It would be strange if they were not frightened when seeing such a scene.

"#¥5WE!"

The leader of the Blackrock Tribe shouted again and raised the longbow in his hand high.

Such behavior made these people feel much more at ease.

Therefore, the alliance with the Black Stone Tribe as the core that attacked the Green Bird Tribe advanced again.

They did not walk very fast, partly because they were a little afraid, and partly because the leader of the Blackrock Tribe had specifically instructed them to do so.

And the people walking in the front all had rough wooden boards tied in front of them or in their arms.

Those who did these things were basically the tribes that did not have bows and arrows.

The tribes that had bows and arrows followed these people, walking forward with bows and arrows in their hands.

They will be responsible for shooting arrows at the strange cave of the Qingque tribe and shooting down all the people in the strange cave.

War or suffering are things that can make people smarter quickly, like now.

After experiencing yesterday's casualties, these people no longer ran towards the Tongshan residential area in a panic. Instead, they learned to cover their bodies with wooden boards, tree barks and other things, and knew to let the people with these things stand in front so that the people holding bows and arrows could shoot from behind.

Shang, who was on the wall, was watching the actions of the Blackrock Tribe.

Shang was still very surprised at what these people did at this time. He didn't expect that these people actually knew how to use such a method.

You know, among the enemies they had encountered before, no one knew how to put these things in front of them to resist attacks.

And some of these people also have bows and arrows!

Shang and his friends already knew yesterday that these people had bows and arrows. They were certainly surprised at the time, but not too surprised.

This is because by now, bows and arrows are no longer exclusive to the Qingque tribe.

Those tribes that are relatively close to the Qingque tribe have basically learned to use bows and arrows.

It’s not something that the people of the Qingque tribe can teach, but they learned it on their own.

Those tribes had been curious about the bows and arrows of the Qingque tribe long before. Later, after following the Qingque tribe to attack the Bannong tribe, they had a more intuitive understanding of the power of bows and arrows.

Faced with such good things, it would be strange if they didn't learn it.

Moreover, the structure of an ordinary bow is not complicated. It only requires a rope and a piece of stick, so it is easy to imitate.

Of course, what we are talking about here is the ordinary bow and arrow.

It is also because of this that Shang and the others were not surprised to see that these people also had bows and arrows.

The bows and arrows made in imitation of their tribe were much less powerful than the bows and arrows their tribe itself had.

After all, their tribe has had bows and arrows for a longer time, and they have people like Junior Brother Sha who likes to study bows and arrows hard, and there is also the Son of God.

As for why these people who were attacking their tribe had bows and arrows, Shang and his companions did not think much about it.

There is really no need to think too much about this matter, because as long as we catch them all, we will know what is going on.

Under the watchful eyes of Shang and others, those who came to attack the Qingque tribe slowly approached the battlefield of yesterday.

They stopped at the very edge of death, and then, under the order of the Black Rock Tribe leader, those who used bows and arrows began to draw their bows and shoot arrows at the Copper Mountain residential area.

"#¥*!"

The leader of the Blackrock Tribe roared excitedly, and then was the first to release the bowstring in his hand.

With the sound of the bowstring vibrating, the arrow flew out.

The rest of the people who were using bows and arrows, following the shout from the leader of the Black Rock tribe, loosened their bowstrings, and many arrows flew towards the Copper Mountain residential area.

Many people were excited when they saw this scene.

In the past, they went hunting with bows and arrows. Just one tribe of people could catch a lot of prey with bows and arrows.

But now, so many of them who were using bows and arrows gathered together and shot arrows at the strange cave. How could they resist with so many arrows flying over!

They didn't have anything like wood boards or tree bark that could be used to protect against arrows.

The morale, which had seemed rather low, instantly rose a lot with the rain of arrows.

Many people even shouted excitedly, thinking that the people in the strange cave would fall down one after another in the next moment. If this happened a few more times, they would be able to shoot all the people in the cave to death, and they would be able to capture the Qingque tribe.

Especially after they discovered that the person on the strange cave stood there without dodging the arrows they shot, they felt more and more certain.

However, what happened next completely dissipated their excitement.

As everyone watched with excitement, the arrows that carried all their hopes flew in the air for a distance and then fell to the ground. The arrow that flew the farthest did not even hit the wall of the Tongshan residential area.

This was completely unexpected, and everyone, including the leader of the Black Rock Tribe, was stunned. They stared at the feather arrow falling to the ground with wide eyes in extreme disbelief.

As the feather arrows fell, the sound of heartbreak filled the air.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

On the wall of Tongshan Residential Area, Shang and others watched this scene and couldn't help grinning.

They knew this would be the outcome even as the invading enemies stopped and shot arrows at them.

The higher you stand, the farther your arrows can fly. The people of the Qingque tribe have long known this. And by comparing with those tribes that imitated their tribe in making bows and arrows, they know that the bows and arrows of their tribe can shoot farther than those of other tribes.

The place where the people from these hostile tribes stayed was the farthest effective range for them when they stood on the wall.

Under such circumstances, it would be strange if the arrow could be shot onto the wall.

"We will also shoot with bows and arrows, but only our group can do so. The rest of you can wait until I tell you to attack before you start.

Otherwise they will be scared away.”

Shang gave this order and added one more sentence at the end.

After hearing Shang say this, the people on the wall couldn't help but laugh again.

The tribes may not speak the same language, but their laughter is the same.

Listening to the laughter coming from the top of the wall and seeing the people of the Green Bird Tribe laughing heartily, many of the attackers felt embarrassed.

It was at this moment that an arrow flew down from the wall.

Some of the arrows missed, some were nailed to the wooden board, and three or four feather arrows penetrated into the flesh. The people who were hit immediately cried out in pain.

In this situation, these people were shocked and a little panicked.

This caused many people to doubt the feather arrows in their hands.

Why can't we shoot them, but they can shoot arrows at us?

"#¥5*!"

The leader of the Blackrock Tribe shouted excitedly at this time.

What he meant was that yesterday, when the people of the Green Bird tribe started shooting with bows and arrows, many of them were shot dead or injured.

But now, this time, only a few people were shot and wounded, and no one died, which shows that their preparations were still very effective.

After his reminder, everyone looked at the current situation and compared it with yesterday's situation, and they immediately became excited again.

Yes, compared to yesterday, the damage they suffered was indeed much less.

"#%WE!"

The leader of the Blackrock tribe shouted loudly, and everyone began to advance forward again, deciding to get closer so that their feather arrows could also be effective and cause damage to the people on the wall.

As they moved forward, Shang and his men also drew their bows and shot arrows at the leaders of the Black Rock tribe.

However, only about 10 to 20 people did this, and the rest did not launch an attack.

This way, you can attack approaching enemies without hurting them too much, or scaring them away without looking back.

"Use the vine shields to block us, and the rest of you squat!"

Seeing that the numerous enemies began to stop and prepare to shoot arrows, Shang gave the order.

So someone picked up the rattan shield placed aside and placed it against the low wall outside the wall. A gap was left between the two rattan shields, and people with bows and arrows could shoot through the gap.

The rest of the people who had no tasks all bent down according to Shang's orders.

If those people kept shooting with bows and arrows, they would not move out. They would only take action if they wanted to attack the gate.

In order to delay these people as long as possible, Shang and others racked their brains.

Shang and the others were all wearing rattan armor, but it could only cover the upper body, leaving more than half of the arms exposed.

There are plenty of people on the wall at this time. They have nothing to do, so it would be a good idea to put up rattan shields here to provide some protection for the archers.

Looking at the strange big thing that suddenly appeared above the weird cave and the people who suddenly disappeared, the Black Rock Tribe and others who were preparing to shoot arrows were all a little confused.
