Chapter 100 The situation at hand
In this era, the battles between tribes have always been direct, without any tricks.
At this moment, the confidants on the side couldn't figure out why the leader who was having sex with his buddies on the opposite side just a moment ago turned against him as soon as he turned around.
“What about sending them pheasants?”
“Send them to him.”
Good guy, I’m even more confused!
But since it was their leader's order, he didn't bother to think too much, so he just followed it.
They are all on the same mountain. No matter how far the main camp is from the camp at the foot of the mountain, there is only a limit.
Here, the biggest problem affecting the efficiency of movement is that the mountain road is difficult to walk, and the mountain road has not yet been paved, which greatly reduces the efficiency of movement.
Of course Wang Luchong knows this problem, but where is paving a mountain road so easy?
Normal road paving is a big project, let alone a steep mountain road.
Even just paving it casually will take a lot of time, energy and labor!
Of course they know the importance of paving roads.
If you want to be rich, build roads first!
But in this era, take Zhou Xu and others as an example, the limited manpower is used to maintain the tribe's 'survival', and no more manpower can be spared to do such things as 'paving the road' .
The tribe's lack of manpower has caused them to be completely trapped in a closed loop. If they want to 'pave the way', they must first break this closed loop.
To do this, they first need more manpower and more food.
It was approaching noon, and the tribe opposite sent someone to deliver a batch of pheasants.
Although Zhou Xu also brought some salt during this expedition, it was basically enough for their own daily use. It would definitely not be enough for trading.
So according to what he said at the time, the specific transaction could wait until later, and then they could trade in person.
But Wang Luchong insisted on sending a batch of pheasants first to show his sincerity.
At the same time, I hope Zhou Xu can let go of his tribe members. Obviously, the focus is here.
During this period, there was no mention of Zhou Xu exchanging this camp.
The other party should also know that it is easy to hand over the prisoners, but it is probably not easy to ask Zhou Xu to hand over the camp that he worked so hard to defeat.
So Wang Luchong simply stopped mentioning this matter.
Now this batch of pheasants was delivered to him. At a rough count, there were almost a dozen of them.
Although a dozen pheasants are nothing to a large tribe that can dispatch more than a hundred people as a combat force, it is enough to show his sincerity.
In addition to the cooperation that has been agreed upon in the morning, unless Zhou Xu wants to break up with the other party directly, otherwise this person will really not let him go.
“Let them go.”
After the order was given, Zhou Xu’s men acted swiftly and quickly released the prisoners.
"Chief, is this the end of the matter?"
Looking at the other tribe members who took the prisoners and turned to leave, standing next to Zhou Xu, Zhou Chongshan couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Zhou Xu spread his hands noncommittally, and then threw the question to Li Ce.
"Li Ce, what do you think about this matter?"
After thinking about it for a while, Li Ce said...
"There are indeed many soldiers on the other side. If we really fight, although we won't be afraid of the other side, I'm afraid we will have to pay a lot of casualties. At the same time, it's hard to say whether we will win or lose. It's definitely the best if we can resolve the battle easily like this. "
Faced with Li Ce's remarks, Zhou Xu laughed.
"What I want to hear is not this kind of objective statement that anyone with a little brain can see. Don't you have any ideas yourself?"
"..." After a brief three seconds of silence After that, Li Ce slowly opened his mouth and expressed his inner thoughts.
"Although it is a wise decision for both parties not to fight, it does not rule out the possibility that the other party will still take action."
"Reason?"
"I would be on the other side. Leader, I definitely don’t want other tribes to exist in this mountain, let alone this tribe that has the strength to threaten me and is so close to me!”
At this point, Li Ce’s voice changed. Dayton.
“So we must not be careless!”
How can you allow others to sleep peacefully on the side of the couch?
Although what Li Ce said was rough, the truth was absolutely correct and he hit the point completely.
Even though Wang Lu Chong was a brother and a good friend to him as soon as he met him, Zhou Xu really couldn't be so foolish as to trust him completely.
If the other party doesn't want to fight him, he doesn't mind changing supplies first, and then occupying this camp near the foot of the mountain to develop for a period of time.
Obviously, the longer he stays here, the better it will be for him.
"It's very well said. If the opponent doesn't want to fight, then we should use this camp as the basis to establish a foothold here. If the opponent wants to fight, then we must also be mentally prepared in advance."
Although Zhou Chongshan's intelligence limit is three stars, it is estimated that his intelligence is all about mastering and learning combat skills and the use of various weapons.
He is really not good at these twists and turns.
But one thing he understood clearly was that the other party might have bad intentions.
“Then leader, what do we want now?”
"Have a good rest and stay the same to cope with all changes."
Zhou Xu said as he sat down.
“We have already made the preparations that need to be made before dawn. If the other party really wants to take action, he will definitely not wait until dark, because it will be detrimental to him after dark. Just watch, no It will make us wait too long."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu closed his eyes slightly.
He has not had a good rest for one night and one morning now, and his face inevitably shows a look of sleepiness.
Considering the possible battle in the afternoon, we had to hurry up if we wanted to rest.
As soon as I closed my eyes, within a moment, I heard a snoring sound.
Faced with this situation, Li Ce and Zhou Chongshan exchanged glances, and the two looked at each other for a while.
Their leader is really big-hearted. Can he sleep at such a time?
To a certain extent, Li Ce admired him in his heart.
At this moment, despite the fact that he is still calm on the surface, his mind is still clear, and he analyzes the matter clearly, but the tension in his heart is only known to him.
Are you kidding? There are more than a hundred soldiers on the opposite side!
It turns out that when he occupied the mountain here and became the king, the number of soldiers under his command was only fifty or sixty.
And he is already considered a big tribe.
He had never seen a tribe with more than a hundred warriors before.
The reason is very simple, I can’t survive!
With so many people, a lot of food is consumed every day. Normal primitive tribes cannot afford to feed so many people, so tribes of all sizes can only support dozens of people to death. scale.
In this way, time passed quietly. As the sun moved in the sky, the sky gradually turned yellow, telling them that it was approaching evening.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from outside the camp.
“Chief, leader! A large army is approaching us!”
