The prisoner ran for his life in the dark jungle for a night before returning to the tribe's camp. He returned to the camp as fast as a marathon runner. The prisoner immediately reported to the patriarch Aso that the stronghold was attacked by the Chinese.
The team member is Hua Xi.
Aso was greatly shocked when he heard the news. In panic, he immediately summoned the leaders of the tribe to discuss the matter. Most of them believed that the alliance was launching a large-scale attack and the strength gap was huge. They should gather combat power, implement martial law, and then send tribesmen to Ge outside the alliance's important pass.
The Tian clan asked the Ge Tian clan to quickly send troops to attack the alliance's key passes to attract the alliance's attention. However, there was a strange voice in the noise - a young man in his early twenties who did not agree with everyone's suggestions, because he had never thought of it.
The tribesmen who escaped back learned that the leader of the team was Hua Xi, and that there were only a thousand people. There was nothing to be afraid of, and once Hua Xi was captured, it would be a great convenience for their tribe's current advantage.
Mengzi proudly told Aso that he only needed one thousand warriors and two hundred cavalry (the Ultraman only had more than 300 cavalry, and their combat effectiveness could not compare with the Chinese cavalry), which would be enough to defeat the thousands of Chinese who occupied the stronghold and capture them.
Hua Xi
Mengzi, 19 years old, was recognized by Aso and promoted to ashigaru (warrior) because of his excellent hunting efficiency.
The fan who was at odds with Mengzi earlier questioned: "Mengzi, the Chinese troops are said to have good combat effectiveness. Can you win?"
"Hmph, weren't you dismissive of the Chinese before? Why are you so prestigious now?" Mengzi said coldly.
"Jie Jie, yes, that's what I said, but it depends on who leads the troops. If it were you, the fierce one, hehe -" Fantou mocked back
"You -" Mengzi, who was not good at words, was ridiculed by Fantou. He didn't know what words to use to refute what Fantou said was true. He had never led his tribe to fight other tribes, so saying that he was
Feeling a little guilty
Fan Tou's words suddenly reached everyone's heart, and everyone was speechless. Even Aso deeply believed in Fan Tou's words.
Fighting while the iron is hot, Sa Ran said: "Chief, although the Chinese are strong, the warriors of my tribe cannot be underestimated. I am willing to lead the warriors of the tribe to the stronghold to meet the enemy. I will definitely defeat the Chinese troops and capture Hua Xi alive.
Come back and present it to the clan leader."
Aso was overjoyed when he heard this. He slammed the table and said happily: "Okay, I will give you a thousand warriors and an additional hundred cavalry. I hope you will win and shock the prestige of my tribe!"
"Yes!" Fantou was overjoyed when he heard this, and a trace of pride flashed across his rough face, making him look high-spirited.
"Mengzi, you follow me to assemble the troops and face the alliance army!" Ma Shang said angrily.
"Yes!" He suddenly bowed slightly and responded.
A hillside seven miles southeast of the stronghold
Because the road was rugged and difficult to navigate, Hua Xi and others walked for nearly two hours before they took half an hour on weekdays.
As the sun set in the west, Hua Feng came panting to join Hua Xi and Bai Zhan. Behind Hua Feng, hundreds of tribal warriors were carrying a large bag, which was heavy and filled with quicklime. Hua Xi was at a place near the stronghold.
A calcining kiln for quicklime was found under the stone wall. It must have been the main place where the Ultraman people obtained quicklime. At that time, Hua Xi felt like he had found a treasure. Although this thing is inconspicuous, if used properly, it has unimaginable lethality.
Hua Xi is not surprised about the quicklime production, because it is not surprising that Aso knows how to calcine it. He, a young man who is not doing his job, can understand it, not to mention that Aso looks like a doctor or other high-level professional.
"Bai Zhan, order the soldiers to cut the grass and tie them up here. I will be of great use!" Hua Xi said to Bai Zhan
"Mowing the grass?" Bai Zhanjing said in confusion as his upper body was bare, revealing his explosive muscles.
"That's right, cut the grass quickly!" Hua Xi nodded and responded.
The order was issued quickly. Everyone was confused, but they did not dare to disobey the military order. The three people in front were living examples! Bai Zhan threw a large bundle of hay into the grass on the roadside and spread it on the ground.
He muttered to Hua Xi, "Chief, the Ultraman troops are about to arrive in an instant, but we are now spending our energy mowing the grass. Why is this?"
Suddenly there was a flash of coldness in Hua Xi's eyes. When he thought of his plan, his heart couldn't help but beat faster, and beads of sweat dripped down from the contours of his cheeks.
Hua Xi said calmly: "Bai Zhan, do you think mowing the grass has nothing to do with the next battle?"
"Uh, this..." Bai Zhan scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Does it matter?"
Hua Feng also happened to come to Hua Xi's side at this time. Hearing Hua Xi's question, he wondered: "Chief, what is the connection between this?"
"Of course" Hua Xi smiled lightly and decided to give Hua Feng and Bai Zhan a military lesson. Hua Xi took a wooden stick and pointed at the surrounding slopes and said slowly, "The prisoner said that this valley road belongs to the tribe.
The only way for tribesmen to reach their stronghold."
Huafeng and Baizhan nodded at the same time after hearing this. This is easy to understand.
After Hua Xi scanned the surroundings for a while, a stern look flashed across his face, and he said in a deep voice: "The terrain here is flat and overgrown with weeds. There are gentle slopes on three sides, and only the southeast is a swamp. It is early spring, and the sky is dry.
Things are withered, vegetation is withered and yellow, and it is very easy to burn. If our army sets fire from the east, west, and north at the same time, and the fire spreads from the four sides to the middle, the Ultraman people will have no choice but to retreat south."
After Hua Feng and Bai Zhan nodded in understanding, they still looked at Hua Xi without saying a word.
Hua Xi looked back at the hundreds of neatly stacked leather bags, a cruel murderous intention flashed across his face, and said coldly: "As long as the Ultraman people retreat into the swamp, they will fall into death, and even gods can't save them.
"
"ah……"
Speaking of this, the officials in the military tent already knew roughly what Hua Xi was thinking, and their hearts kept spreading cold air. The soldiers who were stared at by the clan leader's cold eyes felt that Hua Xi seemed to be a completely different person.
, which is in sharp contrast to the previous feeling.
In less than half an hour, Hua Xi discussed with everyone the basic fighting methods. He groaned and said in a deep voice: "Hua Feng, Bai Zhan, you all hurry up and prepare!"
"Yes, big boss"
The two agreed in unison and walked out of the thatched house filled with a strong depressive atmosphere.
The infantry regiment was divided into three parts, and they quickly harvested forage, broken branches and leaves and other flammable materials in three directions on the hillside. Under the pressure of war and observing military discipline, the soldiers worked particularly hard when harvesting, and soon they had collected
