Of course, Li Tianyang played a big game this time, fighting on both sides, which is a rare action in Hong Tang.

With Wu Daofu being transferred to the Ryukyu Kingdom and going to establish the Ryukyu Naval Division, there are no generals who can take charge of the Hongtang yet.

It's not that Hongtang's talents are scarce, it's just that now Hongtang has gradually calmed down after several major wars, except for the pirate gangs that appear sporadically on the sea and disappear with them, over the past year, Hongtang's various departments have experienced fewer and fewer wars.

This also proves from the side that Hongtang has become the hegemon of the South China Sea today, and has been recognized by many colleagues, even the pirate area retained by Li Tianyang in the north of the two seas of Qiongzhou and Ryukyu is now because of Hongtang's involvement, and it has gradually become much more regular, and there is rarely such a tragedy as the destruction of the maritime merchant fleet.

Hongtang now has less war on the sea, and these non-commissioned officers below are also less tempered, this time Li Tianyang asked Wu Shu and Lu Yu to send troops on both sides, one is to think that they can sharpen the somewhat sloppy team below, and secondly, they also hope to give more knowledge to the group of non-commissioned officers below, so that their talents can be revealed in the battle.

Lake in the Ali Mountains to the east. Barton and the others have already learned about the movement of troops from the Chicken Coop Harbor side, and the Black Panther troops on the west side who are inextricably linked to the Bengang Alliance naturally easily get the movements of the Bengang side.

And more than the east of Lake. Barton guessed more differently, but the patriarch of the Black Panther tribe, Mana Wu, could even detect how many teams had gathered here in this stupid port.

Ever since his father, Elder Dahai, gave up his position as his son to eradicate the stumbling clan leaders and elders, the mana Wu who was less restrained had also developed his strength with great strength.

In addition, the land in the plains is easier to reclaim than the foothills, and among the tribesmen who are coerced by Dahai, there are not a few natives who have received the careful teaching of agricultural planting techniques from Bengang. Therefore, although Mana Wu knew that he was not the opponent of the Bengang people, and did not come out too much to make trouble in Bengang, the development of their tribe was also extremely rapid.

Mana Wu, who could make Da Hai hold a grudge for the rest of his life, paved the way for him even if he risked his own life, was naturally not an easy person.

No Lake. Barton is intelligent, but Mana is more powerful, and he has a natural leadership temperament that can always invisibly infect the natives.

With the cultivation techniques learned from Bengang, and the nearly 1,000 strong indigenous warriors who were brought by Dahai to the tribe, Mana Wu held archers and knives in one hand and brandished precious grain in the other, and after a few years, his Black Panther tribe laid a vast world in the plains east of Bengang.

There is a strong enemy in the west, and the two plate axes in the hands of Mana Wu are not easy to use, so he can only develop to the east, and he is in the middle, in the tribes east of their tribe, everyone is still holding bows, arrows, knives and guns, looking for food in the jungle and grassland, and as soon as these two plate axes are used in advance, they immediately have an immediate effect.

Now their Black Panther tribe is also a far more powerful tribe than the original Zhuluo Mountain Society, with a tribal population of more than 10,000 people, there are three or four thousand warriors who can fight, and if they pull up the strong women in the tribe at any cost, they can even have two more women who can fight.

It's a pity that the plains are fertile and easy to reclaim wasteland, but the land around their Black Panther tribe is only enough to support about 20,000 people. No matter how much they had, their tribe wouldn't have the energy and population to take care of it.

Coupled with the more lenient policy towards the natives on the side of Bengang, although the Mana Wu did not have the courage to come to Bengang to make trouble, he sent some people to Bengang from time to time to trade animal skins, animal bones and other items, in exchange for cotton and linen cloth and other materials, as well as a small amount of iron.

Turning their heads, Mana Wu and the others melted the iron tools they had finally obtained, relying on the simple iron-striking techniques they had learned from the stealing master, into a murderous weapon in their hands.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of this Black Panther Clan, after possessing a large number of iron weapons, may not be much worse than that of the Raike tribe in the Ali Mountains, which still uses primitive weapons such as beast tooth arrows and wooden spears.

When he heard the battle order issued by Bengang from the tribes he knew well, Mana Wu began to prepare.

It is reasonable to believe that now on the interface around Bengang, the people of Bengang can also make a move and issue coordinated combat orders to the surrounding indigenous tribes, and Mana Wu thinks that there are no other tribes except for their Black Panther tribe.

It's just a point that makes Mana Wu puzzled, their Black Panther tribe hasn't seen how to hide their position these days, in fact, they can't hide it, because of the complicated relationship with the surrounding tribes, they can easily understand the movements of Bengang, and Bengang can naturally learn the origin of their Black Panther tribe itself from these clan members, but why is it only now that they Bengang have sent troops and horses, ready to strangle their Black Panther Clan?

It's not that Mana Wu didn't think about joining the Bengang Alliance, but his father Dahai has high hopes for him, that is, he hopes that he can get ahead, although Dahai's death is not too related to Bengang, but the contradiction between Dahai and Bengang before his death is also obvious to all, Mana Wu really doesn't know, what this Bengang people think of their Black Panther tribe.

I asked someone to throw stones and ask for directions a few times, but I never got any attitude from Bengang's side, which made Mana Liwu's heart a little confused, and he didn't know how to choose.

He wasn't a hero, he was just a wretched man who struggled in the dangerous primeval jungle after being driven out of his tribe.

Because of this, he knew how difficult it was for a person to survive in the jungle, and because of this, he understood more about the meaning of his companions and clansmen.

Perhaps he is willing to swing a knife at strange compatriots for the sake of the better life of his people and his companions, because this is the law of survival in the jungle from ancient times to the present, but this does not mean that he is willing to use the blood of his companions and clansmen to do something that is obviously impossible to succeed.

For example, let their Black Panther clan face off against a behemoth-like opponent with sharp swords and spears and mighty warriors.

Now that Bengang is ready to move, there are only a few paths in front of Mana Vulture, which requires him to immediately choose one of them as the way out for their Black Panther Clan.
