Chapter 135 Buried or Alive (Please vote and subscribe)
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, even the tribesmen who had been shooting arrows were a little surprised. They didn't expect such a great result.
In fact, this is also related to the tactics formulated by Luo Chong. If you really look into it, these tribesmen's archery skills are actually unqualified. They have practiced for too short a time. If they were asked to shoot at a fixed target of 100 meters one by one, they might not be able to hit it, let alone a moving target.
But Luo Chong organized them into a team, not requiring accurate shooting, but only letting them shoot from a distance, without even aiming, as long as the shooting speed is fast enough.
This is the correct way to use bows and arrows on the battlefield. There has never been a saying of accurate shooting for range coverage strikes. Accurate shooting is what cavalry do, and it has nothing to do with infantry. Infantry only seeks maximum output.
"Chief, did they run away?"
Shu Da and Shou Ya looked at the rows of arrows inserted in the distance, extending all the way to the forest. There were more than 20 corpses on the road, and it was unknown how many enemies had run away.
"Some definitely escaped, but not too many. Didn't that Xue Tu say that the Fire Tribe has two or three times as many as ours? We can tell how many have escaped by counting the bodies on the ground.
Everyone, clean up the battlefield, retrieve the arrows, count the bodies and pile them together, and bury them in a pit tomorrow morning."
Luo Chong looked at the more than 200 bodies on the ground and couldn't help but secretly smack his lips. Although he often carried out missions and participated in battles in his previous life, he had never seen so many dead bodies at once.
After arranging the tribesmen to clean up the battlefield, Luo Chong stood aside and thought about things. At this time, Xue Tu also pulled out a few arrows from the ground and walked over, handing them to Luo Chong with a look of emotion.
"The short spears of your tribe are very powerful. It would have been great if our tribe had such good weapons."
Luo Chong took the arrow, glanced at Xue Tu and said to him, "Thank you for coming to report the news this time. You can pick up some spoils to take away."
But Xue Tu shook his head woodenly. He thought for a while and said to Luo Chong seriously, "A few days ago, Fu from the You tribe found me and asked me to join a tribe that uses this kind of short spear. I didn't go, but I didn't expect to meet you from the Huo tribe. Maybe this is what God meant. Can I join your tribe?"
"Oh?"
Luo Chong was surprised when he heard him say that. He didn't expect that this guy had been fooled by You Fu. It was a pity that he was not fooled. As a result, he came to the door himself.
Seeing that Luo Chong did not agree directly, Xue Tu quickly continued, "I can help you find the Fire Tribe. I know where they live. All these people were killed by you. Now there are only about 50 men in their place of residence, and the rest are women and children.
There are more than 1,000 women and children. As long as you give me the current team, I can bring them back to you. Didn't you ask the You Tribe to find people for you? Then you won't be short of people."
Luo Chong still didn't say anything, but looked at him with interest, which made Xue Tu almost angry. When he saw that Xue Tu's patience was about to run out, Luo Chong spoke.
"I can't hand over my people to you, and I can't let them take revenge for you. How do I know if there are people in the Fire Tribe you mentioned? What if you take my people to die? I won't go." Luo Chong shook his head and said.
"Everything I said is true." Xue Tu shouted.
Just as Luo Chong said, he really wanted to use the power of the Han tribe to take revenge, so he was a little anxious, but after he finished shouting, he immediately calmed down. Luo Chong was right. Even if it was him, he would not believe it. He had no way to prove what he said. When
Shu Da heard the shouting here, he also ran over, looked at Xue Tu vigilantly, and then reported to Luo Chong.
"Chief, there are a total of 248 corpses here, and the arrows have been collected. However, there are still dozens that have not been found. It is too dark and it is not easy to find."
"Then don't look for it for now. Collect the team and take the tribesmen back to rest. The rest will be discussed tomorrow. Arrange someone to keep watch at night." Luo Chong made arrangements immediately, and then turned to look at Xue Tu.
"You want to join my tribe, I can agree, but I can't believe what you just said, but I have a way to know if it is true."
"What way?"
Xue Tu heard that Luo Chong could still confirm the truth of what he said, and immediately asked curiously.
"Come with us, we captured some young men from the Fire Tribe a few days ago. They must know how many people there are in the Fire Tribe. We will know tomorrow when we ask them." Luo Chong explained.
"Really?" Xue Tu was immediately happy when he heard that Luo Chong actually captured a live person.
Luo Chong did not say anything, but nodded affirmatively.
"That's great, then I will join your tribe. If you don't let me take care of those people, when you go to fight the Fire Tribe, just take me with you. I must avenge my former tribesmen." Xue Tu made a decision immediately.
"Okay, I can promise you this."
Just like that, a group of people picked up the arrows and returned to the top of the mountain. Xiao Die was also anxiously waiting for Luo Chong on the top of the mountain. When everyone chased down just now, Luo Chong did not let her go down. She was relieved until she saw Luo Chong and the tribesmen returned safely.
The tribesmen were very tired after fighting with high intensity and cleaning up the battlefield just now. After receiving Luo Chong's order, everyone went back to rest.
Luo Chong also called Shouya to arrange, "Go get some food for the thirty teenagers, let them eat their fill, tomorrow morning you take people to watch them, let them dig a pit and bury their tribesmen."
"Yes, chief."
Luo Chong actually arranged this for a reason. He still didn't want to make any slaves now. The main reason was that there were only 30 people now, not many, and it was not worth it to get some people to watch them. It would be better
to scare them tomorrow and let them know that their tribe was finished and give up that heart completely. Now even if they were released, they would have nowhere to go. It would be better to join the Han tribe directly, otherwise they would die.
Under intimidation, threats, and coercion from both sides, I believe that these young people who are not yet firm in their minds will make the right choice.
The next morning, these teenagers who had only eaten a full meal for several days began to dig pits at the foot of the hillside under the supervision of their tribesmen. Seeing that their fellow tribesmen who came to attack the Han tribe had died here, they were very surprised, and at the same time they regretted why they listened to Li's words and ran to be undercover.
After the pit was dug, the teenagers lined up and stood by the pit. Luo Chong walked up to them and gave them a lecture.
"You are all people who were exchanged for white salt by the Han Tribe, and you all have your own women in the Spring Festival. You could have lived a good life in the Han Tribe as long as you didn't help the Fire Tribe to fight us.
Now the Fire Tribe is finished. Do you want to jump into this pit and die with them, or do you want to join the Han Tribe and have children with your own women? You can choose now." When
the teenagers heard Luo Chong say this, they cried and shouted to join the Han Tribe without even thinking about it. The scene was really tearful. A group of half-grown children cried and shouted to join the Han Tribe. They were afraid and regretted it.
Many of these people were originally captured by the Fire Tribe. Except for the team leaders, they didn't even know about leaving marks. Only the six team leaders knew the specific tasks. They were just playing soy sauce. It was too unfair to die like this. They didn't want to die. They also wanted to live a good life like others.
“Okay, since you are willing to live, I want to ask you a few questions now. How many people are there in the Fire Tribe, where do they live, and how many women and children are there? Who can tell me?”
“I know, Chief, I know.”
“I know too, I can lead the way.”
“Wuwuwu Chief, I was captured by the Fire Tribe, and my sister is there too. It was that Fire Chief who forced me to do that, otherwise he would have burned my sister to death. I can lead the way, but please rescue my sister as well. She is only eight years old this year, wuwuwu”
