The night is as blue as water, with a hint of chill. The bright moon is like a hook, hanging obliquely in the sky. The flat Bronze Highway is like a white silk spread on the ground, appearing somewhat conspicuous.
Under the moonlight, a group of dark shadows were walking along the road from the east, their shadows were dim and hazy.
The team moved forward in silence, no one spoke. It was not that they did not want to speak, but that they no longer had the energy to speak.
The enthusiasm I had when I set out at midnight yesterday has been almost worn out after walking for a long time.
At this time, many people can only continue walking by relying on perseverance.
Some people put their hands on the people in front of them, closed their eyes, and began to doze off, walking forward while dozing off.
"Almost there! Almost to the Tongshan residential area!"
Although the eldest brother walking in front was also very tired, he still forced himself to cheer up and encourage everyone.
When a person shoulders certain responsibilities, he appears stronger than many people.
When the voice sounded, everyone's heart was shocked and they became much more energetic.
Are they finally going to reach the Tongshan residential area and meet those guys who dared to attack their tribe?
After such thoughts arose, many people felt more energetic, and even thought that it didn't matter if they started fighting now. They could still defeat the invading enemies.
The team, which originally seemed lifeless, suddenly became full of energy, as if they were awakened from their sleep.
The eldest brother listened to the various noises coming from everyone and frowned slightly.
"Tell the people at the back not to speak and not to let the enemies know we are coming."
This was the plan that Shang told to Liutou and Maque after he asked them to rush back. After careful consideration, the eldest senior brother thought it was a very good plan. Moreover, the Son of God had successfully captured the people of the Bannong tribe using this method last time. With this successful example, the eldest senior brother naturally had confidence in this plan.
We set out at night and traveled all the way without stopping. Wasn't it just to get here earlier and catch all these guys?
It would be a huge loss if the noise at this moment alarmed those damn enemies and the news leaked out in advance.
At the signal from the eldest brother, the people behind passed these words on one by one. Those who heard these words immediately became quiet and said nothing. Soon, the whole team became as quiet as before.
However, unlike the previous state where they were exhausted and sleepy and could fall asleep at any time, the team at this moment, although quiet, everyone was very energetic.
This is the regulatory function of consciousness on the body.
The eldest brother smiled and was very satisfied with the reaction of the people in the tribe.
After the team walked forward silently for a while, the scenery on both sides became more and more familiar, and soon they saw the Tongshan residential area as an outline under the moonlight.
About three miles to the northeast of the Tongshan residential area, there were some flashes of fire. It went without saying that those fires were where those people who dared to attack the Tongshan residential area were.
The eldest brother asked everyone to stop and get off the Bronze Highway and go to the fields on the side of the road, so that they would not be so conspicuous.
Although he knew that the distance was so far, and it was still night time, and it was almost midnight, and the enemies would not be able to discover him and others, the eldest brother still wanted to do this.
His personality and identity make him act very cautiously.
After instructing everyone to wait here quietly, not to talk, to sit down to rest and eat some cold food and drink some boiled water, but not to light any fire, the eldest brother led a few people and quietly headed towards the Tongshan residential area standing there.
The Tongshan residential area seemed very quiet in the night, but if you got closer you could see some figures walking around, they were the people in charge of patrolling.
The eldest brother nodded again, feeling very satisfied that the people stationed in the Tongshan residential area were able to accomplish this.
It was at this time that a small flame flickered on the wall, and then the flame began to grow bigger.
Just when the eldest brother and a few other people who came with him thought that the people upstairs felt cold and wanted to light a fire to keep warm, the light suddenly flew down from the wall.
“Who is it?!”
Before the eldest brother and the others could figure out what was going on, shouts were heard from the top of the wall.
As the sound came out, there was immediate movement on the originally quiet wall. Many people stood up, holding stones, bows and arrows, javelins and other things in their hands, and were ready to throw them down.
"Don't panic, they are wearing rattan armor and rattan helmets, and they seem to be holding rattan shields in their hands!"
Someone on the wall had sharp eyes and noticed that something was wrong, so he quickly shouted.
Everyone was stunned, and then they stopped.
"It's us! We've come from the tribe! And the leader, the leader is right here!"
At this time, the eldest brother and others roughly realized what had just happened, and someone quickly spoke up to identify himself.
Even someone as calm and composed as the eldest senior brother couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
The people on the wall wiped their sweat even harder.
If they hadn't stopped just now, things would have been very serious.
But we can't blame them for this. According to previous calculations, the people from the main tribe would not arrive until the fourth day.
And even if they came earlier, they would have to come during the day. But now, it is only the second day after Liutou Maque and the other two left, and it is still evening, basically midnight. Who would have thought that the leader and the others would come.
"Chief, how did you get here so quickly?"
After confirming their identities, the people from the Tongshan residential area hurried down to open the gate and told the eldest brother and his men to follow the route circled by lime to avoid falling into a trap.
After closing the door again and locking it, Shang, who already knew the news, asked excitedly and puzzledly.
The rest of the people living in the Tongshan residential area also pricked up their ears. They were also very curious about how their leader could come here so quickly.
"Liu Tou and Ma Que did not rest yesterday. They ran back to the tribe overnight and passed on the news.
When Wu heard about it, he immediately sent people to pack up. We set out at night with our weapons, and now we have finally arrived."
The eldest senior brother laughed and spoke with some ease in his voice. He did not deliberately emphasize the tone when describing such behavior, as if it was just a very ordinary thing.
But when Shang and other people stationed in the Tongshan residential area heard these words, many things immediately arose in their hearts. They all felt their eye sockets getting hot, and something was rising from their chest and going all the way to their brains.
I ran back to the tribe overnight, and set out from the tribe overnight...
What would have taken at least four days to complete was now completed in just two days.
They could sense how much heaviness was contained in these light words.
This is their tribe!! This is the people in their tribe!!
Upon hearing that people from the same tribe were being bullied and attacked, he lost all sleep and rushed over overnight!
Living in such a tribe and living with such people really makes people feel extremely moved and at peace.
"leader..."
Shang shouted "chief" and was unable to utter the rest of the words. The other people in the Tongshan residential area felt the same way, their hearts were filled with great excitement.
"It's okay. We are all from the same tribe. This is what we should do."
The eldest brother said with a smile.
"Hurry up and think about what to do. Catch these people as soon as possible. We still have to plant crops in the spring."
So the eldest brother and Shang and the others went up to the wall and started discussing in low voices. The anger that had just arisen soon subsided.
In the distance, next to a burning fire, the leader of the Black Rock Tribe sat up from the ground and looked in the direction of the Copper Mountain residential area.
Just now, he seemed to have heard some noise vaguely.
But when I looked at it now, the strange cave was still the same as usual, and there was no difference.
The leader of the Black Rock Tribe rubbed his eyes, turned around and saw the many feather arrows they had sharpened and the rough wooden boards piled there. The last bit of doubt in his heart completely disappeared.
No matter what, the tribe in front of them will definitely be conquered by them, and everything inside will become theirs.
He lay down again, thinking happily for a while with such a mood. Not long after, he fell asleep again.
At this time, the tightly closed gate of the Tongshan residential area opened again, and people carrying hot meals quietly walked out of the gate and walked towards the Bronze Expressway.
This was the first order Shang gave after he learned that the eldest brother and other people from the main tribe were coming.
The Tongshan residential area is surrounded by walls, and cooking is not done in the open air, but in a special dining hall.
These facilities cannot guarantee that people outside cannot see the flames produced by cooking in their tribes.
Of course, it doesn't matter even if they see it. After all, the enemies who come to attack the tribe already know about their existence and are not afraid of exposing anything.
"Drink some hot soup to warm your body and relieve your fatigue."
After they arrived here, they scooped out bowls of broth in the moonlight and handed them to the tribesmen who had been traveling from the main tribe for nearly a day and a night without much rest.
The people who came from the main tribe put the food in their hands, which had already gone cold, into the steaming broth, brought the bowl to their mouths and slurped the hot soup. After they swallowed it in one gulp, they felt warm all over and felt very comfortable.
Of course, what feels more comfortable and warmer than their bodies is their hearts.
On the top of the wall, the eldest brother and several others were eating with their bowls in hand. While eating, the eldest brother was also talking, mainly asking Shang and the others more about the situation of those enemies. At the same time, he was also discussing how to capture as many of them as possible.
It is certain that we should learn from the method that the Son of God used to deal with the semi-agricultural tribe, but we need to make some changes in some places. After all, the situation here in the Tongshan residential area is quite different from that in the semi-agricultural tribe, and the terrain is much more open than that in the semi-agricultural tribe.
Under the continuous influence of Han Cheng, a man from later generations, the people in the tribe have seen many things they have never seen before, as well as some ways of dealing with things. Under such circumstances, people like the eldest brother, Shang and others naturally have far more methods in doing things than before.
After discussing this for a while, we decided on what to do next.
"Haha, well done."
After confirming all these things, the eldest senior brother began to ask Shang how he managed to keep these people. After knowing what Shang did, the eldest senior brother couldn't help but laugh out loud, and reached out and patted Shang on the shoulder for a while to express his affirmation of Shang's actions.
After the matter was settled, the eldest brother left the Tongshan residential area.
He wanted to end the war as quickly as possible and eliminate all the enemies, so he needed to seize the time.
There are many things that need to be prepared, and they need to be prepared as much as possible tonight.
Coming out with the eldest brother were Shang and dozens of slaves from the Tongshan residential area.
These slaves all held tools such as hoes and shovels in their hands.
These people were all fresh troops. Although most of them had not slept as well as before in the past two days due to the attack by the Blackrock Tribe, they were undoubtedly in much better condition than the people from the main tribe who had been traveling for nearly a day and a night.
So they have to put more effort into setting traps and the like.
The eldest brother and his group left the tribe and joined the people waiting outside.
At this time, the people outside had already eaten, and some of them fell asleep back to back.
Compared with before, the condition is much better.
After arriving here, the eldest senior brother began to make arrangements according to the method he had just discussed with Shang and the others.
Twenty-five citizens of the Green Bird tribe were left behind to ambush on the east side between the place where the enemies were temporarily resting and the Tongshan residential area.
Of course, the resting place was different from the one they had rested in when they came. It had moved forward a lot and was closer to the resting place of the Blackrock Tribe.
The specific location was arranged by Shang. After all, he had lived here for a long time and was more familiar with the surrounding geographical environment.
However, it is rather troublesome to hide, because the surroundings have basically been cultivated into farmland. At this time, the crops in the fields have either just sprouted or have not been planted yet. It is all bare and it is difficult to find a place to hide.
In desperation, they had to avoid the best ambush distance and move the ambush site to the northeast, about two miles away.
There is a ridge there that is not too high, and there are some gullies. Because it is not suitable for cultivation, there are a lot of dry weeds standing there, which is very good for concealing one's body.
It's just that it's a little too far away from the tribes that the enemy must pass through, but there are not many other options, so we can only make do with this.
However, this is not the most important part, so it doesn’t matter if you just make do with it.
After appointing a reliable person as the temporary person in charge and leaving behind four big drums and three gongs, the eldest brother and his group continued their action and set up an ambush on the west side.
Twenty-five citizens of the Green Bird tribe were also left behind in ambush in the west. Just like in the east, four big drums and three gongs were also left behind with these citizens.
The ambush position of the people on the west is closer to that of the people on the east, but it is still a bit far compared to the ideal ambush distance.
After arranging these people, the eldest brother and others began to walk northwest, quietly bypassing the place where the Blackrock Tribe coalition forces were resting, and came to the north.
They stopped about three miles behind the Blackrock Tribe coalition forces.
The terrain here is also quite rugged, with two ridges that are generally in the shape of an "eight" distributed here, with a larger opening on the south and a smaller opening on the north.
There are many thorny plants growing on the two ridges, so densely that except for some small birds and animals, even the dogs in the tribe would not come here.
As for people, I don’t even want to think about them.
Because of the existence of these two ridges, if you want to go to the north of the tribe, you either have to take a long detour to both sides, or you have to go through here.
The Blackrock Tribe coalition forces came from here a few days ago.
The possibility of taking a detour to the two sides is basically non-existent. On the one hand, the distance is too far, and on the other hand, the people ambushing on both sides are not vegetarians.
After seeing the terrain here, the eldest brother immediately gave Shang a thumbs up. He was very satisfied with this ambush location.
Immediately, people started digging a trench at the narrowest part of the "eight" shaped valley in the north.
Sixty slaves were brought from the Qingque main tribe, plus fifty from the Tongshan residential area, making a total of one hundred and ten slaves.
Add to that more than 130 citizens of the Green Bird Tribe, more than 200 people worked together and dug the pit very quickly.
In order to make full use of manpower and also for safety reasons, the people of the Qingque tribe dug five trenches at the exit of this "eight" shape.
The width of each ditch is between one meter and one and a half meters, and the distances between the ditches are also different, some are only one meter, while others are six meters.
Just like when Shang and his men dug traps behind the gate, these trench-like traps also left narrow passages. This was to make it easier to catch people when the time came.
Of course, the passages between the ditches are staggered, so as to prevent those who are escaping from running all the way along the passages.
Under the continued influence and leadership of their despicable Son of God, the people of the Green Bird Tribe have become more and more experienced and proficient in using insidious tactics.
But the eldest brother still felt that it was not enough. While everyone was digging the trench, he brought a dozen people and had people set up three ropes in sequence on the north side of Wudaogou.
First, dig a shallow trench on the ground, place the rope along the trench, cover it with a thin layer of soil, and then cover it with some dead grass or something like that.
But if someone crosses those ditches and runs out, have someone pull up the rope to trip them.
There are many kinds of work and the workload is not small, but the Qingque tribe has many people and good tools.
When it was almost dawn, the trench had been dug and the general layout had been completed.
About half an hour ago, under the order of the eldest senior brother, Shang took sixty citizens of the Qingque main tribe, bypassed the residence of the Black Stone tribal coalition forces, and quietly returned to the Tongshan residential area.
Letting Shang bring back fifty main tribes to become citizens was something that the eldest brother had thought about before.
In the battle that is about to begin, the Tongshan residential area will need to put in a great effort.
Only after the enemies in the Tongshan residential area are hurt and forced to flee here, can the rest of the arrangements take effect.
In other words, the people in the Tongshan residential area need to fight these enemies head-on.
There were more than seventy adult citizens in the Tongshan residential area who were able to wear armor.
According to the equipment and combat power of the Qingque tribe, these people could also defeat these nearly four hundred enemies, but the eldest brother did not want to do so.
So he transferred sixty citizens of the main tribe to the Tongshan residential area.
In this way, with more than one hundred and thirty against four hundred, the chances of success will be greater and the losses can be further reduced.
As for the people guarding the trap, in addition to the 110 slaves, there are still 70 fully armed citizens of the Green Bird tribe, a total of 180 people. It is not a problem to guard this gap.
The sky gradually began to brighten, and the air was filled with the unique scent of the early morning.
After the people in the trap arranged and perfected the last point, they fell into silence.
Everyone hid outside the exit. The eldest brother asked a few people to stay awake and guard here, and the rest started to eat something or sleep.
It would take at least until the sun was high in the sky for the battle to start and for them to be needed to contribute.
At this time, everyone can seize the opportunity to have a good rest, especially the sixty slaves from the main tribe and the seventy Qingque citizens who stayed here.
Not to mention the long walk, but they had also been setting traps all night last night. They were all exhausted and many were just holding on. Now that the mission was completed and the eldest brother gave the order to rest, many people fell asleep as soon as they sat down on the ground.
Some people were drinking water, but halfway through, the water bottle fell out of their hands...
The sky gradually brightened, and the Blackrock Tribe coalition forces who were sleeping together in groups gradually woke up. Noisy sounds appeared as they woke up and became louder and louder.
The crowd moved in a disorderly manner, as if they were herding sheep.
"#￥5SD!"
The leader of the Black Stone Tribe shouted loudly, asking his men to quickly get food to eat so that they could attack the Green Bird Tribe after eating.
After saying these words, he began to eat the roasted food, and did not stop until he was full.
We are going to attack this tribe today, so of course we need to eat enough.
Not only was he full, but people from other tribes also ate relatively well. This was because the leader of the Black Rock tribe took out most of the food that their tribe had brought with them for everyone to eat.
The same was true for those tribes where food was more plentiful.
Anyway, they can attack the Qingque tribe today, so they don't have to be so frugal with food anymore.
