146 Troops

Harrick did not wait for five days, in fact he waited for the information brought back by the natives who had gone to investigate on the evening of the third day.

"How's it going?" Patriarch Harik's house is still the same as it was three days ago, one less Wu Mao is still staying in the room arranged by Harik, and one more native who went to inquire about the news.

"Patriarch Hui, this Bengang tribe is indeed very rich! We didn't need to disguise ourselves to go into their stockade, and inside we met several people from the small tribes in the surrounding area, and they told them that if they worked for a day, they would get enough food for two of them. In their house, we also saw the grain they had saved for a few days, which was enough to prove that this tribe was indeed as the people of Zhuluo Mountain said. "Thanks to Li Tianyang's blessing, this native who went to inquire about the news didn't need to hide and hide to get enough news from the natives outside the camp, enough information that was enough for the Yushan tribe to be excited.

"And how many warriors are there in their tribe? What about equipment? What about the defense of the stockade? Hearing the report of the spy, everyone present inevitably became a little greedy, and they agreed more and more with this Zhuluo Mountain's proposal, but this Harrick was still a little vigilant, suppressed greed and stabilized several important issues.

"I only heard some news from the mouths of those small tribesmen, it is said that their warriors are not too many, about only about 400 people, but the weapons are very sophisticated, all of them have a set of all-iron weapons, long knives, spears, bows and arrows, all of them." Speaking of this question, the spies hesitated a little, probably because they were dazzled by Li Tianyang's luxurious equipment: "It's that the walls of their village are completely different from those of our cottages: the walls are not made of wood, but seem to be made of gray stones, but the surface is very smooth, and it doesn't look like stones, I really don't know how they built this village." ”

"What's even more incredible is that their walls are not only strong, but also high enough for three or four people, and even people can stand on top of them, and shoot arrows with bows from above, and the effect must not be bad. So I'm afraid that if we attack this tribe, this wall will be our biggest problem. "The spies who heard the news were surprised by the richness of Bengang, but they also knew the tricky parts of this tribe.

The wall that amazed the indigenous scout was the result of the cement workshop in Li Tianyang's camp for more than a year. Li Tianyang, who has always liked to be prepared for danger in times of peace, has never believed in any friendly and good-neighborly nonsense, although he has always been courting the local natives, but he has not forgotten to strengthen the defense capability of the camp. The whole body is made of cement, stone and a few iron bars, up to one and a half zhang high, five feet wide wall, can be regarded as a simplified version of the Ming Dynasty mainland city wall, but if you talk about the actual solidity, the wall built of cement and stone, I am afraid that it is a few points stronger than the wall built of adobe bricks.

"Then do you think that if our tribe wants to directly wipe out this tribe, how many people will be dispatched to succeed?" Harriq seemed to trust the native, who was listening to the news, and wanted to hear his opinion.

"If it is possible, send eight hundred men over, and I believe that this tribe will definitely be taken, and we will go there as soon as possible, for I have heard that the patriarch of their tribe has gone out to sea with half of his warriors in a very large ship during this time. If we can seize this opportunity, I am afraid we can reduce the casualties of our soldiers. ”

"This ...... You wouldn't be too cautious, you must know that 800 men is not a small number, and our tribe plus strong women is only a little more than a thousand warriors. "The Yushan tribe is even more powerful than Zhuluo Mountain, with a population of more than 3,000 people, because of the living standard of the primitive tribe population, there are few old people, plus the tradition of hunting tribes, everyone is a soldier, so the proportion of their total warriors will be so much.

"Patriarch, I haven't seen the wall of their village for the time being, if there is no wall, give me five hundred people, and I can take this tribe." The spies were frightened by Li Tianyang's wall, but for the warriors of his own tribe, he was full of confidence, at least within a radius of a few hundred miles, no warriors of any tribe were their opponents, even the Zhuluo Mountain tribe was not their opponent.

"Okay, since you have said so, then we will send eight hundred warriors over as you said and take down this stupid port tribe in one fell swoop." Harrick agreed to the suggestion of your spy, after all, this spy is one of the few smart people in their tribe, and many battles with foreign tribes have been fought by him, and it is all thanks to his command that the Yushan tribe can maintain an undefeated record.

Of course, although the matter is decided among these people, there is still one thing that needs them to act in a play.

Wu Mao, who stayed in the Yushan tribe for three real days, and was anxious every day, was finally received by Patriarch Harik at dinner again.

"Boy Wu Mao, can you rest these days?" Harrick looked at Wu Mao with a smile on his face, but he didn't know how terrifying his smile was against the hideous lines.

"Thank you Patriarch Harrick for your concern, I've already rested, but I don't know how the patriarch thinks about my father's proposal?" Finally, he saw the patriarch Wu Mao again, and he didn't forget the real purpose of coming to Yushan this time, and after a little politeness, he went straight to the point and asked Harrick for their opinions.

"I don't understand one thing, after Wu Mao conquered the other tribe, you don't want the food and booty they produce, but also supply the rations of our warriors, so what do you want?" This has always been something that Harrick has not figured out, and it is also one of the reasons why he has been reluctant to send troops.

"Patriarch Harik asked well, what we are asking for this time is only to let this group of foreign tribes completely get out of our territory, and if they are bewitched like this for a while, I am afraid that the hearts of our tribe will disperse." Wu Mao, under the reminder of his father these days, has carefully observed the changes in the tribe, and has seen all the changes that Li Tianyang and them have given to the tribe, so he is also scruples about Li Tianyang: "Moreover, we are not without gains, patriarch, your tribe is too far away from the Bengang tribe, even if you capture their tribe, you must not be willing to move the tribe to the strange east hundreds of miles away, and in the end, you don't want to return it to our tribe." The land and stockades they reclaimed became our spoils of war, so we paid the rations to the patriarch in advance, which can be regarded as our contribution to sharing some of the spoils in the future. ”

"In that case, it makes sense, well, go back and tell your father, we agreed to send troops." When Harrick heard Wu Mao's answer, it was quite reasonable, and he explained his doubts: "When you go back, remember to tell your father, this time we will send a thousand troops, and ask your father to prepare rations for a thousand people." ”

"Yes, I'll go back and arrange it!!" Wu Mao was surprised and delighted, and tremblingly agreed to Harric's request.
