Chapter 99 Isn't this a coincidence?
After the news of the enemy's presence outside the camp was reported back, Zhou Xu gave the order directly...
"Everyone listen up, prepare for battle!"
At the command, all members of the tribe entered combat status.
The counterattack tactics agreed upon before the war had already been arranged long before, so there was no need for him to say anything more now.
If the other party can appear here at this time, it is 100% certain that he set out before dawn.
From this point of view, the opponent may not have had enough rest.
There was no plan to hide in the camp. To put it bluntly, the camps of this era were just for them to rest and sleep. There were no defensive facilities. Hiding inside would not provide them with any protection. On the contrary, the limited space would limit their performance. It would be better for them to take the initiative to go out and fight.
The space outside the camp is still relatively open, which is undoubtedly taken into consideration for the purpose of camp construction.
All the surrounding trees were cut down. While acquiring resources, they also made preparations in advance for the future expansion of the camp.
At this moment, this open space has undoubtedly become the battlefield for the two sides to fight! The large army on the opposite side is familiar with this place. They have already moved to the nearby area and laid out their formations, waiting for Zhou Xu and his men to come out. With a dense and dull sound, a large number of stone bullets swept directly towards them!
Quantity directly brings about scale and brings about a qualitative change in lethality.
That scene was far beyond what had happened before.
"block!"
With a low roar, after receiving the order, the tribesmen who were already standing at the front of the army raised the door panel shields in their hands at the same time and blocked in front of them.
At the same time, a large number of stone bullets came towards them, hitting the door panels and shields, making a "bang bang" sound.
However, facing this large door panel shield with sufficient thickness and enhanced defense strength, it would undoubtedly be too difficult for the stone bullets to break through their defense.
Seeing this scene, Wang Luchong, the tribal leader among the enemy crowd, had an unsightly look on his face.
In this primitive era when long-range weapons had not yet appeared in large numbers, the slingshot troops in his hands were undoubtedly his magic weapon for victory.
Before, Li Ce and his tribe were defeated by this "rain of bullets".
But at the same time, Wang Luchong knew that the slingshot was, after all, just a simple weapon, and it was not difficult to defend against it.
For example, now, a row of door panels and large shields formed a shield wall that directly made his slinger troops useless.
The enemy hid behind the shield wall, and the stones from the slingshots posed no threat to them at all.
Originally, if this situation was maintained, his slingshot would not be able to break the opponent's shield wall, but on the other hand, the opponent was forced by his slingshot to hide behind the shield wall and dared not come out.
For the time being, no one can do anything to anyone else.
However, the problem now is that from the subordinates who rushed back overnight to report, he knew that there was a special type of soldier called "skeleton soldiers" on the opposite side! As a time traveler, Wang Luchong was not scared by the sudden appearance of the skeleton soldiers.
But the existence of skeleton soldiers can improve the opponent's tactics.
Although he didn't know where the skeleton soldiers were at this moment, the other side was able to send out the skeleton soldiers to fight them while he continued to hide behind the shield wall and not move.
In other words, if this situation continues, it will be disadvantageous to him!
Thinking of this, Wang Luchong gritted his teeth and made a decision in his heart.
"Okay, stop fighting!"
In the crowd, Wang Luchong shouted at the top of his lungs...
"Hey buddy, are you a time traveler? Come out and have a chat?!"
Facing this shout, Zhou Xu was worried that there might be something fishy going on, so he did not stand out and reveal his identity. Instead, he stood behind the shield wall and gave his reply...
"I am a time traveler. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Alright! Where are you from, buddy? I traveled here from Blue Star China."
"I am also from Blue Star China."
Upon hearing this answer, Wang Luchong's face immediately showed joy.
"Isn't this a coincidence? In this alien world, we are considered fellow countrymen! My name is Wang Luchong, what's your name, buddy?"
"Zhou Xu."
Wang Luchong on the opposite side kept calling him "brother and fellow villager", which invisibly eased the tense atmosphere between the two sides a lot.
"Zhou Xu? What a good name! Buddy, I have a suggestion. Since we are both time travelers from China, and now we are in this unfamiliar world, it is really unnecessary for us to fight against each other! How about we work together?"
The proposal made by the other party was a path that Zhou Xu had thought of before.
Indeed, at a time when their strengths are equal and a fight would easily cost them a heavy price, they have no hatred against each other, and they are also fellow Chinese, so joining forces is undoubtedly a good idea.
"How do you want to work together?"
"First, we can form a strategic alliance, face the outside world with one voice, and advance and retreat together. Later, we can also exchange some development resources. To be honest, brother, I have quite a lot of resources here."
When Wang Luchong said this, there was a hint of pride in his tone.
"I have raised a lot of pheasants in the camp. Now they can lay eggs and hatch chicks steadily. I believe you should know how valuable this is."
"In addition, I have basically collected all the wild vegetables on this mountain and planted them myself."
"As long as you have the right resources, I am willing to exchange with you!"
After hearing this, Zhou Xu hesitated for a moment and said...
“I have salt here.”
The moment he heard the word "salt", Wang Luchong's face showed a hint of surprise that he couldn't hide at all.
"Salt? You got salt there, brother?! Change it! I'll trade it with you for whatever you want! Now!"
Obviously, Wang Luchong also knew the importance of salt.
At the same time, and more importantly, over this period of time, his mouth has really become boring!
Now when he heard that there was salt, he became excited.
Feeling the excitement in Wang Luchong's tone, Zhou Xu became much calmer.
However, if he could easily exchange resources such as pheasants from the other party through this kind of transaction and exchange, he would not mind it.
The two tribes were about to engage in a bloody battle, but within just a few words, they decided to work together and trade supplies with each other.
The tribal members of both sides were stunned.
But no matter what, Zhou Xu chose to accept the proposal of cooperation, and the two of them took the opportunity to negotiate the first deal, exchanging salt for the pheasants on the other side.
After reaching an agreement, Wang Luchong led his men away with a smile.
Although the confidant who was following him didn't understand what was going on, it seemed that everything was fine.
"Chief, can we let the brothers go back to work later?"
"Huh? What stupid things are you talking about?"
At this moment, Wang Luchong's words made his confidant beside him stunned, and he subconsciously looked up at the other party.
At this moment, Wang Luchong turned around, and there was no trace of the smile on his face. Only an undisguised coldness remained.
"Pass on my order. Gather all the soldiers in other camps!"
