Chapter 341: The Sneak Attack of the Pingshan Tribe (14) Changes
Ba Wan came in, cursing, and pulled aside the curtain. He sat down next to Pingshan, rubbed his hands under his armpits, and picked up a horse bone to chew on.
Ping Shan's face darkened as he threw the horse meat into the pot. He grabbed a piece of fur and wiped the grease off his hands, saying, "Are those dead? If not, we must set off tomorrow!"
Just now, Bawan went to check on the wounded.
The injured person was a slave soldier. If he couldn't set off tomorrow morning, he planned to abandon him here.
Ba Wan ate his meat in big mouthfuls and mumbled, "We can leave tomorrow morning, but we're missing two horses, so we have to ride with others. Plus, it's snowing heavily, so we'll have to slow down the journey."
Ping Shan shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then don't bring it!"
Ba Wan stopped, looked at the horse bones in his hand, sighed and said, "Headmaster Pingshan, we may need to change direction!"
Pingshan's eyes widened.
We encountered heavy snow a day ago, and the tent collapsed, which delayed us. If we continue to waste time like this, we will be trapped to death before we find the Wuda tribe.
"How do we change direction? It only takes a day to go directly to the Chabu Valley from here. We can set out in the morning and arrive at the destination at night. It's just right to enter in the dark and even pick a beautiful woman to sleep with at night."
Ba Wan shook his head: "Head, it's only a day's journey from here to the Chabu Valley, but there's a Mudan tribe in between.
I have sent people to check it out. The Mudan tribe is not that big and has long been a minion of the Wuda tribe.
The eighty of us have a 70% to 80% chance of destroying them, but that would alert the Wuda headquarters.
If Madam Wuya leads her people to the snowy plains, and we can't capture the tribe, all our efforts will be in vain."
Compared with Pingshan, who used to only know how to graze and compete with cattle and horses, and is now dazzled by power, Bawan, who has always been a slave, is more cunning.
He knew clearly the strength of his eighty men. Although they were not the elite among the tribal soldiers, they also had certain combat effectiveness, and it would be easy for them to deal with the Wuda tribe which consisted of only women and children.
But if other tribes get involved, their advantages will definitely be lost.
Moreover, once the hostage they wanted to capture escaped and the Wuda army returned, they would not have the chance to resist facing such a strong force and would have to flee quickly.
The best way now is to bypass the Mudan tribe and sneak into the Wuda tribe from another direction, but this will take another day of journey.
Although Pingshan is reckless, he also has his strengths.
The only good thing is that I listen to my younger brother very much.
After listening to Ba Wan's analysis, Ping Shan was silent for a moment. He looked up and made up his mind: "We can't take those three injured slave soldiers with us. Leave them behind. We will take a detour to Kala Mountain early tomorrow morning."
Ba Wan had no reaction to the abandonment of the slave soldiers. After all, these were people from the Wu Dynasty. He could capture them from the border of the Wu Dynasty when he had the chance.
The two brothers decided to bypass the Mudan tribe and go in a different direction.
At this time, the Mudan tribe lit a bonfire, the atmosphere in the tent was tense, and the cow oil lamps as thick as arms were emitting black smoke.
In the main seat, the beautiful woman in red had a cold expression on her face, which scared everyone in the tent so much that they trembled.
The elder of the Mudan tribe lowered his head and dared not even breathe, trying to hold back the milk wine that was about to come out of his throat.
No one expected that Madam Wu Ya would arrive just as night fell, and happened to catch the tribe singing and dancing while roasting a whole lamb.
Madam Wuya snorted coldly, "I just sent someone to tell you today that there's an enemy attack. Not only have your soldiers left, but even those who stayed behind are so lax. Do you have to wait until the scimitars chop off your heads before you realize the urgency of the situation?"
Elder Mudan said with a sad face, "Madam, it's not that we don't care. Although the chief took the tribe soldiers to encircle and suppress those fugitives, he didn't forget what he promised.
They're heading towards the Mida Valley. If there really were enemies coming, they would definitely run into them, but they would attack proactively and wouldn't come to the tribe!"
Madam Wu Ya looked at him coldly and said, "What if the other party doesn't leave through the Mida Valley?
It would take three days to travel through all the forks in the Mida Valley, and Mount Kara is so vast that there is more than just one passage."
The fact that Song Liyun suddenly appeared on the east side of Kara Mountain is very telling.
If the person coming was an enemy, the Wuda tribe would have suffered huge losses. However, because the person coming was the young lady of their own tribe, it was just a false alarm.
Madam Wuya has never been weak. She must hold her tribe members accountable for making such a big mistake.
Just because there were outsiders present, she did not express her disappointment and anger, but after Song Liyun and the others left, she went to the tent where Elder Dan was being held.
Elder Shan is one of the few remaining elders in the clan. Even if Madam Wu Ya dislikes him, she still needs to consider Elder Shan's influence in the clan.
No matter what, there is no doubt about Elder Shan's loyalty to the tribe.
The tribe is in danger now and is short of troops. All minor conflicts must be endured until A Shi is brought back.
Facing the angry Elder Shan, Madam Wuya directly stated the hidden dangers that the Wuda tribe was facing, namely the slackness of the Mudan tribe and the negligence of the east side of Kala Mountain.
Elder Shan, who was originally furious about the sudden appearance of a young lady and the talk of an enemy attack, suddenly changed his expression.
He really wanted power and status, and wanted the Wuda tribe to break away from the control of the Wu Dynasty people.
But these selfish thoughts did not affect his protection of the Uda tribe.
Even because he wants more, his feelings for the tribe are stronger than those of ordinary people.
Upon hearing that the Wuda tribe was in danger due to the Mudan tribe's negligence, Elder Shan immediately calmed down and began to seriously discuss tribal affairs.
His first suggestion was that Mrs. Uya go to the Mudan tribe for inspection.
He suspected that Mu Qing, the leader of the Mudan tribe, had something hidden.
In addition, Elder Shan also had greater suspicions about the young lady who suddenly arrived in the clan.
He didn't come earlier, he didn't come later, but when he came, problems arose.
Elder Shan had already witnessed the extent of Madam Wu Ya's favoritism towards Song Liyun, and she would not show any face and would directly take him, an elder, away.
Wu Yaer has had a strong personality since childhood. Once she makes up her mind, she will not change it easily. No matter what he says, it will be of no use. Elder Shan did not contradict her in person again.
When Madam Wuya came to Mudan, she saw something that made her angry.
The Mudan tribe actually didn't take Wuda's warning seriously and were still eating, drinking and having fun.
The headquarters is guarded by Aunt Qi and Elder Shan, and now Madam Wuya is directly in charge of the Mudan tribe.
That night, she deployed the men she brought with her, plus more than fifty soldiers left behind by the Mudan tribe.
With the help of the engineering defense equipment prepared in advance, we guard the passage from the Mida Valley to Kara Mountain.
From that night on, we were on high alert for the incoming enemy.
A night passed and the sky was getting light.
It seems like there is some kind of tacit understanding.
The guards of the Mudan tribe, the tents of the Pingshan tribe, and the small wooden house on the snowfield all began to move.
Song Liyun ate breakfast and arranged the schedule for the next day.
First, we need to expand the search range and walk another half day as planned, so that we can ensure that we can return to the Wuda tribe in time if anything happens.
The personnel were also divided into three groups.
Lin Qingyuan led his guards in one group, and Song Liyun, Song Dekui, Balin and others in another group.
The wooden houses have not been demolished, and the slightly injured Zhemao and the younger Wudan are guarding the base camp, which makes it convenient for everyone to gather here if anything happens.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Song Liyun and Lin Qingyuan set out for the areas they were responsible for respectively.
The Pingshan tribe packed up their tents and set off. Just before departure, everyone realized that the route had changed.
They had to take a detour and enter from the grassland east of Kala Mountain, which would add another day to the journey. Suddenly, everyone was full of complaints.
In the crowd, two wounded slave soldiers were wailing and begging for someone to take them away.
