Chapter 298: Making a Big Thing (Please vote and subscribe)
200 riders ran wildly on the mountain road. After running for about 40 minutes, they finally encountered the Snake Tribe who were fleeing towards Hanyang City, and dozens of Han Tribe’s own tribesmen.
Both sides confirmed their identities, and the cavalrymen who responded did not waste time. They handed over their other horses to the fleeing tribesmen, and then each of them took a woman and child from the Snake Tribe, and a group of 400 riders returned to Hanyang City again.
The remaining adult men of the Snake Tribe continued to run and retreat under the leadership of the Snake leader. They gave the limited riding opportunities to the women and children. Even if they could not escape, they had to leave some blood for the Snake Tribe.
Fortunately, the enemy did not chase them. Du Er, who stayed in the Bian tribe to pack up his things, quickly led a caravan full of things to catch up, and then returned to Hanyang City with the men of the Snake Tribe.
The whole process was already in the evening. Just as the sunset was about to sink into the sky, the last one, Du Er and the Snake Leader, finally arrived at Hanyang City. The remaining Ying Rui immediately ordered the closure of the West Gate to prepare for the enemy's attack and wait for Luo Chong's reply.
In the new city area, more than 100 kilometers away on the east bank of the river, Luo Chong had just been busy with land surveying for a day, planning the location of the first market and the direction of the artificial river. He was about to go back to the camp for dinner when he suddenly heard a cry that resounded through the world.
Luo Chong looked up in the direction of the sound and saw a snow-white giant eagle rushing towards him in the blood-red sunset in the west. The huge figure was the bazooka giant eagle raised by Ying Rui himself. The arrival of the bazooka made Luo Chong feel nervous. What happened in Hanyang City that Ying Rui asked the bazooka to come and deliver the message in person.
Bazooka also found the camp of the Han tribe in the sky. It spread its huge wings and swooped down. Finally, it flapped its wings a few times and landed smoothly in front of Luo Chong.
"Crack!"
The two-meter-tall bazooka saw Luo Chong and swayed clumsily on the ground towards Luo Chong.
Luo Chong also walked up to it, patted its wings to show encouragement, and then untied a piece of animal skin letter from its legs.
Shu Da, Xue Tu, and Shou Ya also gathered around curiously, wanting to see what news there was from Hanyang City.
After opening the animal skin, there were neat lines of fonts on it. Luo Chong recognized it at a glance as the handwriting of Shu Wu. Now, in addition to Luo Chong, the old guy Shu Wu has the most knowledge of characters in the Han tribe. He doesn't have to work, and he is interested in Chinese characters. He spends a lot of time learning Chinese characters every day.
But after reading the contents, Luo Chong couldn't help but frowned deeply. When Shu Da and the other two saw Luo Chong's expression, they knew it was not a good thing, and they asked Luo Chong one after another.
"Chief, what happened in Hanyang City? What bad things happened?" Beast Fang asked in confusion.
"You three can read it by yourselves, don't let others know." Luo Chong handed them the animal skin letter directly, and walked aside with a thoughtful look on his face.
The three of them also walked aside with heavy faces, opened the animal skin letter and read it, and saw that it said.
"The cannibal army is invading, with more than a thousand people, holding bows and shields, and appearing in the northwest. They robbed the caravan of the Sharp Horn in the dense forest. More than 40 of them were either captured or escaped, and 200 antelopes have fallen into the hands of the enemy. The three fled to Hanyang for help, and the enemy pursued them closely.
When passing the residence of the Snake Tribe, the Snake Tribe was slaughtered and the residence was lost. Its leader led more than 200 survivors to flee to Hanyang. At noon, they met the One-Eared Squad in Matan. The two teams joined together and retreated to Hanyang City.
I have ordered my clansmen to return home, the livestock to the pens, the three gates to be closed, and 200 riders, each with two horses, to go to meet us. I want to block the city and stop the enemy. I hope the chief can give us some advice and lead the troops back to rescue us."
There were not many words, but the whole story was explained clearly. After reading it, Shu Da and the other two were also shocked and angry. They were surprised at the large number of enemies and their weapons and equipment. They actually had bows and arrows and shields, which was incredible.
"Chief, what should we do now? Should we send troops back to rescue us immediately?" Shu Da came behind Luo Chong with the letter.
Luo Chong turned around, glanced at Shu Da, then glanced at Xue Tu, and finally stopped his gaze on Shou Ya's face.
"Chief, I don't think it's appropriate to go back now. It will take at least two days for us to go back. By the time we get there, the enemy will have surrounded Hanyang City. By then, our soldiers will definitely be very tired and there are few of them. We may not win, and we may even fall into a passive position. "When Shou Ya saw Luo Chong looking at him, he knew that he was asking for his opinion, so he quickly analyzed the situation.
"What's the point of being afraid of numbers? We are well-armed, and one person can beat several of them. Besides, our soldiers can run, so we may not lose if a fight really breaks out." Shu Da shouted with his blood boiling.
Luo Chong glared at him directly, which scared Shu Da so much that he shut up and muttered a few words in a low voice.
"The walls of Hanyang are high and the moats are deep. There are also a lot of food and livestock inside, and there are many wells to provide water. Even if the enemy besieges the city, as long as we don't take the initiative to go out of the city to fight, we can hold out for a long time and won't starve to death. As for the enemy breaking into the city, that is simply impossible.
What I want you to think about now is another aspect. You all read the letter just now. Apart from noticing the enemy's attack, didn't you see anything else? "Luo Chong reminded the three of them, hoping that the three leaders of the troops could use their brains more.
"Something else?"
Shu Da scratched the back of his head, opened the letter in his hand again and started reading, while Shou Ya and Xue Tu also stood on both sides and watched.
Xue Tu read it very seriously, but his focus was still on the enemy's troops and equipment. As for the others, he was confused and didn't understand what the leader meant by "something else".
Shu Da was also confused and slapped the back of his head anxiously. Only Shou Ya seemed to have figured out something, and finally glanced at Shu Da thoughtfully, and then, as if he suddenly realized something, he asked Luo Chong tentatively.
"Chief, are you talking about the Snake Tribe that fled to our Hanyang City, and the trading team of the Sharp Horn Tribe that was captured?
The April market is about to start these days, and many tribes that come to trade are probably not far from Hanyang City now. These teams from various tribes that come to trade don't know the situation in Hanyang City yet. When they come, they may run into the arms of the enemy. So what does the leader want? "
After hearing Luo Chong's suggestion and analyzing the current situation, Shouya immediately thought of the last attempt to subdue the Black Rat Tribe. It seemed that the leader was still planning to do so this time, and he seemed to want to make a big deal out of it.
