Chapter 311 Visiting the City (Please vote and subscribe)
As Shouya said, this was a battle without suspense. It took less than an hour from the beginning of the battle to end. All 600 enemies surrendered. Before it got dark, everyone started to clean up the battlefield.
The siege of Hanyang City came to an end. The whole city celebrated. Many residents in the city, under the instruction of Luo Chong, began to prepare a celebration banquet under the leadership of the elders and the rat witch. Mutton and rice were available tonight. The Han tribe could still afford to provide thousands of people with a meal.
As a general, Shouya was responsible for all logistics matters. After cleaning the battlefield, he quickly came to report to Luo Chong.
In this battle, 621 enemy soldiers were annihilated, 479 prisoners were captured, and the rest were all killed on the spot. Some of them were seriously injured. They could survive after treatment, but they would definitely be disabled. The Han tribe captured these prisoners just to make them work, so these wounded soldiers were not worth treating at all and were killed on the spot.
The casualties on the coalition side were not large. It was originally a few people fighting one, and the elite warriors of the Han tribe rushed to the front. In the end, only 3 people died, and they were all reinforcements from other tribes. There were also some wounded soldiers left. The most serious injury should be a fracture, but the Han tribe could also treat it. However, it is hard to say whether it will leave a disability after recovery, but it is better than losing their lives directly.
After dealing with these aftermath, all the prisoners were imprisoned in the newly built warehouse. They would definitely not be included in the celebration banquet. They must be starved for a few days to kill their hostility so that they can be disciplined in the future.
The coalition forces of the tribes finally entered Hanyang City at the invitation of Luo Chong, and came to the square in the city to celebrate and discuss the rewards for this expedition. After all, Luo Chong had said so before, and he must keep his word. At the same time, it was also to absorb them into the Han tribe.
Under the organization of the elders and the rat witch, the residents of each household in the Han tribe moved the long tables and benches in their homes to the square and arranged them in several rows to ensure that all these people could sit at the table to eat. If there were not enough, they directly used wooden boards to pad bricks and built them. If there were not enough benches, they would use buckets to make up for it, and they could also use buckets on the ground as seats.
The tribesmen of each tribe were also eye-opening. Although they came to the market of the Han tribe every month to do some business, it was their first time to enter Hanyang City. Before, they were full of mysterious speculations and yearnings about the lives of the residents in the city. Now they can see it with their own eyes. They are like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. They are interested in everything and find it magical.
Many half-grown children were running around the streets, busy helping their parents carry tables and benches, or pots and pans. Behind these children were some furry puppies, born by the dozens of sheepdogs Ling Feng brought with him. They were only one or two months old, and they followed the children, whimpering and wagging their tails happily.
Some older children also led the foreign warriors to the wells at the entrances of the alleys to fetch water for washing. Most of them were covered in dust after the battle, and some were splattered with blood.
These foreign warriors were amazed by the wells as a way of providing water. They didn't expect that there would be water in a deep pit dug on the flat ground. It was a great experience.
After washing, some foreign warriors visited everywhere within the permitted scope. If they met former tribesmen of their own tribe, they would be invited to visit their homes.
A warrior from the Tiger Tribe saw his sister who was married to the Han Tribe. After the two recognized each other, they were very happy, so he was invited to visit her home.
This is an ordinary family. The man is serving in the military camp, and there is only one woman. However, it would be a bit of a waste for two people to occupy one house, so there are two other women in the family, both of whom are refugees rescued from the Fire Tribe. One of the women already has a four-year-old son, and she is holding a baby girl who is a few months old in her arms. The baby girl is white and chubby, and she laughs easily when the adults tease her. She is quite lovable. Fortunately, she was born in the Han Tribe. If she was born in the Fire Tribe, she would probably be killed right after she was born.
The other woman was giving birth for the first time, and the boy she gave birth to was eight or nine months old. He was naked and wearing a small bellyband made of raw linen. He could already sit on the kang and play by himself.
The Tiger Tribe warrior, led by his sister, entered the yard and saw a four-year-old boy with a small bun on his head, wearing a linen open vest and knee-length linen shorts. He was squatting in the yard and teasing a puppy.
The child was not afraid when he saw a strange man coming in, but he did not go forward to say hello. He held the puppy in his arms and stood there looking at the stranger.
The Tiger Tribe warrior smiled at the child, looked at his "strange clothes" curiously, and followed his sister into the house.
In the living room and kitchen in the middle, a woman from the Fire Tribe was burning a fire under the stove. The big iron pot on top of it was constantly emitting the aroma of rice. Next to the stove in the kitchen, there was a small pile of firewood neatly stacked. On the other side were two large jars covered with wooden lids. When they were opened, one was filled with water and the other was filled with yellow rice.
In the inner room on the east side, another woman from the Fire Tribe was taking care of two babies under one year old. The two little ones, a boy and a girl, were playing on the big kang. The older boy kept screaming and was already at the age of learning to speak. However, these children were very lucky. They grew up listening to Chinese since they were born, so they naturally didn't need to deliberately learn Chinese in the future.
There was no one in my sister's room on the west side. There was a small square table with low legs on the big kang. On the table, there was a ceramic kettle, a white porcelain tea bowl, and a small oil lamp burning tung oil, which was emitting a dim light.
The wooden lattice windows on the south wall are now closed, but there is no difference between them and being open. There is no window paper or animal skin on them, so you can see outside directly, and the evening breeze outside can blow directly into the house.
Inside the window is a shuttle loom with a width of 1.5 meters, and there is a roll of unfinished original linen on it. This strange thing immediately made the tiger tribe warriors very curious. After the demonstration and explanation of the sister, the man finally knew the use of this thing.
The woman also said that this thing was created by the leader, which made the man even more shocked. He didn't expect that the leader of the Han tribe was not only good at fighting, but also so versatile that he could create such a magical tool.
Similar scenes are happening in other places in the Han tribe. Some people are allowed to visit the Han tribe's wood processing plant. Looking at the huge windmill fluttering in the wind, with complex wooden gears rotating automatically, and finally controlling a row of saw blades to stagger up and down, it quickly sawed a log into a plank, which is amazing.
Some people were invited to visit the Han tribe's breeding farm, where sheep, antelopes, black chickens, cattle, horses, alpacas, and everything else were available. Even the 100 saiga antelopes bought last year, 80 of which had bred their first batch of offspring, each of which had given birth to two or three baby antelopes. The size of the Han tribe's antelope herd had grown from 100 to more than 300.
Luo Chong was also not idle. He summoned the leaders of each tribe to follow him up the wall of Hanyang City, and the view of the entire tribe from a high place made the leaders of each tribe envious.
