Chapter 20: A moment of peace
Although the strength gap between the enemy and me is very different, in Yi's heart, he still hopes for a happy war. Since the last battle, the morale of the tribe has dropped to a low point. Both warriors and women are full of pessimism about their future life. At this time, the three tribes attacked and forced to cross the river. Such a battle that can kill the enemy and win easily is what he needs very much. So what if the three tribes are strong? So what if they have the powerful mana of the high priest? Can the hegemony of the matriarch really cannot be shaken? Haha, facing the natural danger of the Yellow River, all this may be negative.
Yi looked at the other side for a long time, but there was no movement. Yi knew that they were studying countermeasures and what he should do. Thinking of this, he turned around and shouted, "Peng, call all the team leaders over and let's study it."
Peng was sorting out the wooden guns. When he heard Yi's shouts, he hurriedly agreed to find all the team leaders. The team leader was the commander of a combat unit. A combat team had ten people, and each combat team established a commander. When the tribe was most powerful, it had ten commanders, and these commanders were unified to be transferred by the tribe leader. In the last battle, all the commanders in the tribe died in battle, and only he was alive. Since there were only more than 100 soldiers and five team leaders left after the war, after Yi succeeded to the leader, he did not specifically appoint the team leaders, but was managed by himself.
After about a quarter of an hour, all five leaders gathered together, and everyone sat around the campfire, with their faces looking listless.
Yi looked at everyone and sighed: "I know everyone is in pain. The tribe has never been beaten passively like this, but we have to face the reality." As he said, he pointed to the other side and said: "The other side is the warriors of the three major tribes. There are nearly 600 people, but we only have more than 100 people. The strength is too different."
Yi threw the wood into the fire: "I don't want to say anything more. For the survival of the tribe, it's time for us to stand up. The morale of the soldiers is very low now, but we still have to stop them from crossing the river."
At this time, Jing said, "Chief, what should we do? We all listen to you."
Yi smiled bitterly: "What can we do? We only have more than one hundred warriors, and we can only defeat the enemy by relying on the danger of the Yellow River. Next, they should use spells to cross the river, so that the soldiers can prepare more stones and build high walls on the shore. Everyone knows the power of the ice magic. We must not let the spells of the frozen river water harm the warriors, and we cannot withstand such damage."
Everyone nodded, and Yi continued, "Jing Heli is responsible for moving stones. Don't have big stones. Just ask for the stones that the soldiers can throw out. I will give you forty people, regardless of day or night, to carry stones in turn." As he said, he quietly looked at a young man: "Yu, you will return to the tribe tonight, prepare food, and make wooden guns while making them, so that all tribe members who have nothing to do will come to make them.
Yu was stunned for a moment: "Chief, why did I return to the tribe?"
Yi laughed: "You are the blood of the second elder. You have learned a lot of close-knocking techniques since you were a child. I know you really want to fight on the battlefield. However, we need soldiers, soldiers who can fight bravely. When you return to the tribe, you need to teach children the skills of fighting, including girls."
Yu was a little unhappy, but he didn't want to say much: "Girls should also practice close-knocking techniques?"
Yi nodded: "Although I am confident that I can ensure the stability of my tribe's life before the end of the rainy season, the rainy season will eventually pass. At that time, we will eventually face the possibility of destruction. In order for the tribe's tribe to survive, everyone must have the ability to defend themselves. The enemies we face are too powerful."
Yu nodded and said nothing. Yi smiled: "Don't be depressed, we still have the possibility of survival, but this possibility can be obtained by paying a heavy price." After saying that, he looked at the night sky, and Xiaoyu was still not stopping: "Peng and Bin, you two are responsible for building stones into walls. I will not give you too many people, at most only ten people, and you must build at least a stone wall that is fifty meters long and two meters high. Do you understand?"
The two nodded: "I understand."
Yi smiled and said, "It's enough for me to monitor the enemy's affairs. Now it's almost dawn, and they probably won't cross the river again. Everyone hurry up!"
