Chapter 416 The Miserable Wolf (Additional update, asking for 34 rewards)
The Snow Wolf warriors were not having a good time either. They thought this raid would be another great harvest, but they didn't expect a small caravan to be so strong.
In the past, when they went out to raid, they basically robbed the nomadic herds. There were only a dozen people grazing a large group of livestock. As long as they killed these dozen people, they could get a large number of livestock. Of course, this was not without risks. If they were too close to the target tribe, they would be chased and beaten by the entire tribe. This had happened before.
Another thing was to raid the caravan of the Xin tribe. The caravan of that tribe was very interesting. Every time, they used a large number of horses to carry goods. Of course, this was also the transportation method of the entire grassland. Everyone was the same. When raiding such a target, they only needed to hang them from a distance and shoot arrows. Then they could charge again to almost clear the caravan. After that, they could choose the goods of the caravan.
But the Han tribe caravan they encountered this time was a peculiar one. Not only were there caravan members, but there were also dozens of soldiers who were responsible for guarding. If it was just that, it would be nothing. They would not be afraid of these dozens of people. They had robbed teams with more people before, but before they could get close, they did not expect the other side's soldiers to rush over first.
The people of the Snow Wolf will never forget that scene. The other side's soldiers were like devils, wearing strange black and shiny things. From a distance, they looked like the scales of a black fish and the feathers of a crow, but they were much stronger than these two things. Their homemade wolf tooth arrows could not penetrate the strange clothes of the other side.
The warriors with good archery skills wanted to aim at the other side's face and shoot arrows, but found that the other side's face was full of golden hideous faces, which looked very scary and all the same. How could a person have such a face, and it was also very hard, a few points stronger than the black scales on their bodies, looking like stone. The arrows flew to the other side's face and bounced directly, causing no harm to them at all.
Just like that, the enemy's dozens of black-scaled warriors rushed up against the arrows of their vanguard. They didn't have bows and arrows, but they had a weapon they had never seen before. The weapon reflected the color of the snowfield under the moonlight. Every time it touched their bodies, it could cause huge casualties. They were either beheaded or disemboweled. Only dozens of people killed hundreds of them, not including those seriously injured tribesmen. The
screams at that time made them feel chilled when they thought about it now. It's not that they haven't killed people before, but they have never seen such killings. In the past, whether they were shot by arrows or spears, at most they would have a hole in their body, and at least they would have a whole body after death. They had never seen an attack method that directly cut people in half like cutting lamb. This was too scary.
But this was still not the most unacceptable thing for them. Before they set out, they did hear that the enemy had a kind of transportation tool called a car, which could carry a lot of things, but no one had seen what it looked like.
They thought that this time they would only suffer a little loss. As long as they could rob the other party's livestock, salt, and other large quantities of supplies, it would not be a loss. If they lost people, they could just go to other tribes and abduct a batch.
But what they never expected was that the expected packhorse transport team did not appear. Instead, a circle of strange things made of wood appeared. Those things were very large and filled with bags of goods. They were connected one by one to form a barrier that could not be crossed.
When they robbed the packhorse team of the Xin tribe before, they only needed a charge to disperse the team, kill the other party's guards, and then take the horses away. In this way, they could rob all the supplies and horses. But when they encountered the strange Han tribe, they couldn't even rush in, so how could they take the horses away? !
But with so many casualties and having already rushed to the enemy, they couldn't just go home empty-handed, so they set fire to some of the enemy's goods as planned, with one team going to divide and drive away their livestock, while the other team stayed behind to kill all the enemy caravans and rob their goods.
But the planned killing didn't happen, and their team was instead held back by the remaining members of the enemy caravan, who didn't come out to fight at all, but kept hiding behind the chariots and confronting them, sometimes suddenly shooting a wave of cold arrows, or sticking out a cold spear from some corner, causing their team to sacrifice more to rob goods than to rob livestock.
I can't win, can't I just hide? I can't kill people, I can just grab some white salt and leave, but they still encountered trouble.
The goods of the Han tribe caravan were all placed on the car, and when they set up camp at night, they would unload the cattle and horses pulling the car, so the car parked there could not move at all, and the desire to take the horse was also shattered. In the end, they had to find a car with white salt and grab one or two bags and leave.
However, the car loaded with white salt was the opponent's key defense position. In order to grab some white salt, they didn't know how much they paid. Even those warriors who successfully grabbed it were shot down by an arrow just after turning around and running not far, and this was not the most pitiful. The
most unfortunate thing was that they escaped the first wave of the opponent's devil warriors' charge, and then successfully rushed to the front of the car array, and grabbed the salt bag without any injury, and finally successfully escaped from the opponent's pursuit, but halfway through the run, they found a hole in the bag, and the full bag of white salt was scattered on the road.
In order to escape from the enemy's pursuit as quickly as possible, I was so nervous that I didn't pay attention at the time. When I found out, there were only two or three handfuls of the whole bag of white salt left. I wanted to die.
Damn it, I don't care about my life just to grab these things, are you kidding me? ! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻The
team responsible for robbing livestock on the other side was not doing well either. When they evacuated, they were chased and intercepted by the enemy's devil warriors. In the end, only a group of sheep were left under their control. The cattle and horses they had finally snatched were not as many as the war horses lost in this operation.
The way back was even more miserable. Some of the tribesmen who were cut by the devil warriors' weapons bled dry on the long way back. They walked all the way, leaving behind corpses. Those were all the tribesmen who were seriously injured and bled to death.
Originally, this operation was a big loss, but it was only a few days' journey, and it was so... There was a strange big bird circling around, following them for several days.
It was not until someone noticed that the devil warriors were chasing them from behind that they realized what the strange bird was for. At that time, they really wanted to shoot the bird down and roast it.
However, they still had to face it. They were caught up after running so far, and the opponent had a big bird to help track them. They could not run away. They just hoped that the opponent would not attack them again this time, or at least let them return the sheep.
Their weapons were too powerful. If they were hit by a little, even if they didn't die at the time, they would not survive for more than two days. They would have to bleed to death.
