Jian Chen waited by the river for a few days, and the news from the scouts left him confused.

The news from the more than twenty scouts released was the same, and no trace of a large number of people was found.

They didn't get to the vicinity of the Meteorite tribe's village, because it was too far and too dangerous, and even if they were riding a horned deer, they could be surrounded and ambushed by two-legged people in unfamiliar places.

These people are excellent hunters, and they are very familiar with flanking and expelling, chasing and so on.

In the makeshift camp by the river, Jian Chen kept pacing around the ground, considering possible situations.

According to common sense, the Meteorite tribe knows that they don't have many people, and they will definitely come to fight, and so many people will always leave some traces when they act together.

It's only a hundred miles away from their village, and it takes two or three days to walk. Fighting a war is not a rush, you can't go fast, but even if you climb, you have to move a little now.

If he doesn't come, he won't be able to hold on.

Before the wheat beans are harvested, the tribes need to disperse to hunt to survive the green spring. The troops could not hunt, they could only rely on the food stored before, and if they lasted for a dozen days at most, he would have to go back.

The power of the Meteorite tribe is not small, and it must be a battle to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, and he can't afford to fight, and the group of people under his command are both soldiers and producers, not full-time soldiers.

In his anxiety, another scout returned, jumped off the horned deer and went to the clay pot to pour a large mouthful of water, and the horned deer was also tired and panting.

"See anyone?"

"Not yet, Wolfskin and a few people are watching over there, we'll come back first."

"Got it, go get some rest."

Jian Chen put his hands behind his back, walked a few steps, and made a decision.

If there is no news within two days, he will take people to plunder the population of several tribes.

After going back this time, he will plant spring wheat, and it will take nearly three months to send troops, his purpose is to solve the meteorite tribe once and for all, and the remaining tribes are not in the eye at all, this method of cutting wings to make the meteorite tribe collapse is too slow to work.

Just when Jian Chen was in a dilemma, on a hill dozens of miles away, the wolf skin was also waiting anxiously.

In a group of two, several directions were sent out, and two people from only one direction did not come back, and Wolf Skin faintly felt that something should have happened.

Just as he was about to take the rest of the people to take a look again, a horned deer finally appeared at the bottom of the mountain.

A clansman who was still bleeding from his thigh fell from the horned deer, and the wolfskin hurried around him.

"What about that person?"

"Dead, we were ambushed in the woods, my brother's horned deer was stabbed to death by spearing, he was also captured, and I ran out."

"How many?"

"I don't know, there are only a few people around us, they should have seen us a long time ago and attacked from the woods."

Wolfskin stood up and looked in the direction that the two men were in charge of, and it seemed that troops had already been sent over there.

But how many people came? How fast to go? This is what a scout should know, the last time Jian Chen took him to the tribe where he was scalped, he had told him how to be a scout.

Inquiring about the location of the ambush, Wolfskin asked the two men to take him back first, and he took the remaining seven people in that direction.

The place where the ambush was ambushed was only more than twenty miles away, and the wolf skin led the men to advance as far as possible in the grass and not into the woods.

After walking for more than ten miles, several black figures appeared in the barren grassland in the distance, and the other party also heard the movement here and immediately stopped.

To the wolf's surprise, the men did not panic and did not flee immediately, but stood in place.

The wolf skin and the clansman slowly approached each other, stopped at a distance of about a hundred paces, and carefully looked at the distance of the woods on both sides, it should be safe here, even if someone came from the side, they could run away,

There were eleven of them, and they shouted twice as if they were provocative, holding the head of a dead man aloft, and shouting loudly.

Four or five men were divided into two teams, holding iron weapons in their left hands and taking out a spear from behind their backs in their right hands and holding them in their hands.

This was the first time Wolf Skin had seen the people of the Meteorite Tribe, they were dressed in animal skins, their bodies were strong and strong, and they did not scatter like other tribes when they encountered them, but were careful to be on guard.

Every time Wolfskin and his people got a little closer, the two squads stopped and formed a circle.

A little farther away, one team was staring at the front, the other team took more than twenty steps back and stood in place, the team in front turned and stepped back, and the team behind them took twenty steps before standing again.

Neither panicked nor rushed, but just kept yelling behind him, as if to inform others.

Neither side was helpless. The people of the Meteorite tribe knew that if they scattered, they would be slaughtered by these riders; And the rider also knows that a hard rush is a dead end, and the horned deer will subconsciously avoid sharp objects.

It's just that the time is on the side of the Meteorite Clan, and as this group of people shouts, Wolfskin knows that someone will soon arrive here, even around behind him, and that will be troublesome.

"The five of you are here to stand guard and confront them. If they come close, back away and don't go near the woods. If they turn around and go back, throw spears in the back. ”

He instructed one of his lieutenants, and he took the remaining two men around to the side and rushed towards the east.

Knowing that it was dangerous, he might be surrounded by people, but he wanted to know more about how many people from the Meteorite Clan had come.

The two squads were a little at a loss, shouted a few words loudly, and just as they were about to turn around, the five riders behind them came closer, and took out sharpened spears from the backs of the horned deer, and the longbow could not be used on the back of the horned deer, and they could not be pulled away at all, and these rider scouts were also replaced with throwing spears with shorter attack distances.

It didn't get close to the range of the spear, but the deterrence it formed made the two squads stop, and they could not do anything but shout as they watched the wolf skin run towards the rear with two people.

After running a short distance, Wolfskin saw a group of people, numbering about a hundred, only a few were armed with iron weapons, and the rest were stone spears and stone axes.

And hundreds of paces behind this team, there was a dense group of people, hundreds of paces apart, not advancing together, somewhat disciplined, a bit like their own tribe marching.

The other party also saw him, and those with stone spears and stone axes were obviously confused, but immediately a few people with iron weapons scolded a few words and beat a few people, which made the team quiet.

The line stopped, someone knocked on a swarthy piece of something, it buzzed, and several people hurried to the back.

The few men with iron weapons walked to the front, and a few people also circled around on both sides, forming a semi-encirclement, forcing the wolf skin to retreat.

After estimating the time it would take for the other party to come around, Wolfskin cursed, obviously this group of people also sent scouts, and they were not as easy to approach as other tribes.

He stood on the back of the horned deer and looked into the distance, startled.

Including the group of people a few hundred paces away, there were at least four or five hundred of these people, which was about the same number as the clansmen sent troops this time.

The whole procession was divided into several parts, the first group with stone spears, the last one, and about forty or fifty people on either side, sparsely lined up, who were visibly alarmed when they heard the sound.

But the group in the middle was not much flustered, and naturally divided some people to go around, and the middle group was about two hundred.

"So many people?"

He muttered a word of confusion, whistled at the enemy who had already surrounded him, and hurried away. Immediately there was a burst of laughter and shouts behind him.

Before the sun set, the wolfskin finally returned to the camp on the riverbank, and the scouts were three or four times faster than the large army.

After hearing the wolf skin finish talking about the number, Jian Chen was also startled.

"So many? Did you read that right? ”

"That's right, the front ones are all stone spears and axes, and very few have iron tools. They weren't messing around, and they had scouts. ”

"No bows and arrows?"

"No, there are spear throwers. The scouts didn't panic when they saw us, and they retreated alternately, and the formation never dispersed. Those scouts are supposed to be people of the Meteorite Clan. ”

Jian Chen thought for a while, it is estimated that it should be that the Meteorite tribe also has a servant army, if there are four or five hundred people, it will take at least a day and a half to get here, especially after the wolf skin appears, the travel speed of this group of people will slow down a lot, and the scouts will be more careful.

Since it was dispatched, then there was no need to think about anything else, just do what was planned.

Looking at the way of marching, that falling star has some ability, but he doesn't know how to fight, this is the first real opponent he encountered when he came to this world.

After resting all night, when Wolf Skin and the others wanted to check again, they were stopped by Chen Jian.

The scouts gathered all the horned deer and let the thirty auxiliaries bring back to the tribe.

Because of the hurry, the horned deer couldn't get to the boat.

It is not enough to let the scout follow along the river bank with the horned deer, the horned deer needs to rest, need to ruminate, and need time to eat, and simply cannot keep up with the speed of the boat.

The remaining three hundred and twenty auxiliaries plus all the soldiers were on board, and the acorns and dried fish were enough to support twelve or three days, which was enough.

Just before the sun came out, eight people were traveling down the river in a bark boat, and Song was in a boat with a few guides and Chen Jian, who knew the location of the Meteorite tribe.

At this time, there was no need for scouts, even if the people of the Meteorite Tribe found them halfway, it would not be as fast as the ship, and they were absolutely sure that they would rush to their lair before the Meteorite Tribe retreated.

The fish has been hooked, and it's up to you to reel in the net.
