Chapter 85: The Rat Witch's Prayer (Please add to collection and recommend)
The sun had just risen in the sky at this time, and the warm sunlight dispelled the cold and darkness on the earth. However, this day was destined to be a gloomy day for the Black Rat Tribe.
The tribesmen of the Black Rat Tribe were making breakfast. Spring had come, and the Black Rat Tribe had ended its hibernation and started normal hunting activities.
A woman from the Black Rat Tribe took a clay pot and went to a stream not far away to fetch water as usual, preparing to stew a pot of broth as today's breakfast.
Just as she was carrying water back to the tribe, she suddenly found that not far away, there were many foreign men with hideous white totems painted on their bodies. They were holding weapons in their hands and were sneaking towards their tribe.
The woman was startled and almost dropped the clay pot in her hand on the ground. She was panicked, but her reaction was also very quick. She immediately realized that these foreigners were enemies.
Without the heart to continue cooking, she poured the water in the pot onto the ground, turned around and ran towards the tribe with the pot in her arms, shouting as she ran, "There are enemies, there are enemies, there are many enemies, everyone hurry up and get your weapons and go back to the tribe."
The cannibal hunting team originally wanted to sneak to the edge of the Black Rat Tribe's residence to observe how many men there were in each tribe and whether the meat apes with strange weapons last night had hidden in the tribe.
Unexpectedly, they were bumped into by a woman who went out to fetch water, and their goal was directly exposed. They no longer hid their figures. Holding bone spears and stone axes, they quickly rushed towards the Black Rat Tribe's residence.
The Black Rat Tribe also reacted quickly. They were ready to fight at any time when Luo Chong told them that there were cannibals near their tribe.
Shu Da walked out of the tent, holding two crudely made, not very straight stone spears in his hands, and shouted quickly.
"Men, take your weapons and prepare for battle. Women, take out the stones you prepared in advance and stand behind. All children, go back to the tents and hide. Everyone, hurry."
The tribesmen of the Black Rat Tribe acted quickly. Some people worked together to move the barricades to the gaps in the wall to block the enemy's attack.
The elderly Rat Wizard also came out with his crutches. Seeing the large number of enemies rushing in from a distance, he was very worried about the safety of the tribe this time.
Will the Black Rat Tribe be destroyed because of this? If only I had agreed to Luo Chong's invitation to join the Han Tribe. At this moment, the Rat Wizard suddenly had the idea of regret.
The enemy rushed over quickly from the rear of the Black Rat Tribe. There was no solid barricade here, only a circle of fences woven with sticks and vines.
The Black Rat Tribe was very short of tools. They didn't even make the circle of barricades that the Rat Wizard had requested.
The cannibal leader frowned when he saw the settlement surrounded by a fence. He then quickly assessed the strength of the fence to see if it could block his attack, but it was obvious that such a thing could easily be flipped over or even knocked down.
The Black Rat Tribe had more than 20 adult men, plus the boys who were about to become adults in their tribe, and the less than ten boys traded from the Chestnut Tribe, a total of nearly 40 people, but this was still a big disadvantage compared to the cannibal hunting team.
The cannibals did not suffer many casualties while chasing them all the way, but this was also because Luo Chong deliberately let them go. At this time, their number was still around 50, and they often attacked other tribes, so they had a lot of combat experience, which was also an advantage.
Shu Da and 20 adult men held stone spears and prepared to attack the enemy first, but due to their lack of experience, they did not know how far the range of the spears was.
The cannibal hunting team often fought with others. They took the lead in attacking when they were about 50 meters away from the wall, and everyone threw a stone axe. It hit the men of the Black Rat Tribe.
The Black Rat Tribe had no shields, and the men hurriedly dodged as they watched dozens of stone axes suddenly fly at them.
But their dodging exposed the women and boys standing behind them, and several teenagers were hit by the flying stone axes, and blood splattered on the spot.
Rat Da's eyes were bloodshot, and he was very angry. He shouted to his tribesmen: "Throw spears, throw spears quickly, attack the enemies in front, and don't let them climb over the wall."
In an instant, 20 spears flew out one after another, but the cannibal army was also about 40 meters away.
Due to the poor quality of the Black Rat Tribe's stone spears, they were not even straight enough and could not fly stably in the air. Only a few stone spears had a range of more than 40 meters and flew into the enemy crowd.
After a round of more than 20 stone spears, only six enemies were killed, but this still did not stop the enemy's offensive.
In a blink of an eye, the cannibals had rushed to 30 meters, and their counterattack began.
The remaining 40 or so enemies threw their bone spears together. The Black Rat tribe hurriedly dodged, but there were too many bone spears. The dense bone spears still caused them considerable casualties. Three women, five boys, and four adult men were shot by bone spears and fell to the ground. They were seriously injured on the spot. There was basically no other possibility waiting for them except death.
At this time, the cannibal army had rushed to the range of 20 meters from the wall.
The Black Rat tribe members did not have time to grieve. Rat Da shouted at the top of his voice, "Fight back, fight back, throw stones."
The men, women, and boys who survived the rain of spears just now took the pre-prepared stones and threw them at the enemy fiercely.
Dense stones flew over, and the enemies instantly dispersed. They no longer stood in a pile, but began to run back and forth horizontally while rushing forward, so that they could effectively avoid the impact of stones. Even if they were accidentally hit, as long as they did not hit the vital parts, it would not be fatal.
But at this time, the cannibal leader was very confused. Why did these meat apes not use those very small and delicate sticks with feathers to attack them, but use these most primitive stones to attack.
But he did not plan to stop the attack. Since the battle had begun, the result must be determined. He was confident that he could win this battle.
The 40 or so cannibal warriors ran to avoid the impact of stones while rushing towards the wall of the Black Rat Tribe.
"Press it up, press it up, that broken thing is not strong, we can push it down."
The cannibal leader shouted from behind. He was injured by an arrow on his leg and ran slowly, so he fell behind.
Soon, the short distance of 20 meters was reached, and the cannibal warriors had already rushed to the edge of the wall. At this time, they still had 37 people, and the others fell to the ground because they were hit by stones. The
men of the Black Rat Tribe also rushed to the edge of the wall with spears. They stretched out their spears from the gaps in the fence wall, ready to stab the enemies who were about to climb over the wall.
However, the cannibals did not climb over the wall directly as they expected, but instead went around to both sides. Dozens of people worked together to push these not-so-strong fence walls.
Accompanied by a few crackling sounds of wooden sticks breaking, the fence wall was pushed down.
The cannibal warriors held bone spears or stone axes and began to fight hand-to-hand with the Black Rat Tribe.
The two sides instantly entangled together, and the women of the Black Rat Tribe also gathered in twos and threes. Some of them held spears, and some held stones, and also fought with the enemy. They had to win this battle to protect their children from harm.
The old Rat Wizard kept kowtowed to the empty space, praying that their god, the Black Rat God, could bless them, but it was obviously useless. Deep in his heart, he actually hoped that the people of the Han tribe would come to save them.
The Han tribe had sophisticated weapons, and the weapons that shone with golden light were very sharp. They also had tall blue brick walls, which were harder than stones. They could build the walls very tall to protect their tribe from the enemy's attacks.
The Rat Wizard regretted it very much at this time. If they had joined the Han tribe at the beginning, perhaps they could live in such a wall at this time, and the tragedy of being pushed down by the enemy today would not have happened.
He knew the current situation very clearly. Even if the Black Rat Tribe could win this battle, it would be seriously injured, or even perish with the enemy. How much he hoped that the Han tribe would suddenly appear to save them.
However, just when the Rat Wizard's hope just rose, a "miracle" really happened.
In the sight of the Rat Witch and many members of the Black Rat Tribe, eleven men with tied hair and holding strange weapons suddenly rushed up from behind the enemy. The leader was Luo Chong wearing a golden crown and a golden hairpin.
They launched the attack before they arrived. The 11 arrows were like the last weight to break the balance, pressing hard at the enemy, predicting the victory of the Black Rat Tribe in advance.
