MTL - Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe-Chapter 47
It has been a few days since Liu gave birth to the child, and the tribe is still the same as before, sitting on the kang in the house when it snows heavily, busy with some things that don't need to go out.
But the guards at the gate of the fence have to be on duty on time, and they change every day.
Especially since it was snowing, Sang Yu told the guards to keep their eyes open so as not to miss any movement around them.
Today's two guards, one named Dazui, is from the Yuanniao tribe.
The other is called Ke, who was taken captive by the Eagle Tribe. They are all young men in their eighteenth or nineteenth year.
The two were wrapped in two layers of animal skins and nestled on the watchtower, with a large pot of fire under their feet, constantly replenishing the lost heat from their bodies.
While the two were roasting by the fire, they also looked outside from time to time to see what was going on around them.
It stands to reason that this is a world of ice and snow, and no one will walk outside.
But a small group of people stepped on the snow from a distance, and they were getting closer and closer to the wall.
The two became alert for a moment, and Ke immediately got up and set up his bow and arrow, berating the group of people to stop.
However, the leading man lifted off the animal fur hat on his head, revealing a familiar face.
This person was one of the five people who were imprisoned with the lame that day. Later, when the lame was imprisoned, the other two were expelled, and one of them was the man in front of him.
It's a pity that Dazui didn't know about Lai and others.
"Dong, it's you!"
"Dazui, it's me. The tribe is gone, and I got separated from everyone. I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Dong, don't worry, I'll go down now and open the door to let you in."
Ke was not from the Bird Tribe, and when he saw that Dazui wanted to let these unknown people in, he felt it was inappropriate, so he quickly grabbed his arm.
"Big mouth, no, the leader said you can't just let people in."
Da Zui patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is from our Bird Tribe, not outsiders. It's snowing, let them come in to keep warm."
In the entire Phoenix Tribe, the main constituents are people from the Original Bird Tribe. And now the leader is mainly close to people from the Bird tribe, and other small tribes will feel that their status is not as good as others. Even today, when guarding the gate together, Ke is mainly based on Dazui's thoughts.
But the current situation made him feel uneasy, and he pulled Da Zui's sleeve nervously.
"There is a grass shed outside the wall, let them escape the cold first, and then open the door after we report to the leader."
Dazui gave him an annoyed look, pushed him aside, then leaned against the low wall, and said to Dongji who was not far away: "Dong, come slowly, the place by the river Don't step on it, it's a trap."
While Dazui directed Dong and his party to come over, he jumped off the shelf and ran to open the door.
Ke felt that it was very wrong to do this, but he didn't dare to disobey Dazui. In the end, he could only grit his teeth, stand on the watchtower and set up a bow and arrow, pointing the arrow at the people at the door.
It's just that Dazui followed those people to the back of the wall, out of his sight.
Just when Ke was fidgeting, there was an ah sound from behind the wall, and soon there was no movement.
Ke's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stretched his head to look.
After the man named Dong entered the door, he directly stabbed the sharp bone knife into Dazui's heart.
Ke suddenly turned pale with fright, seeing that several other people had quickly climbed up the shelf towards the watchtower, and the target was himself.
It's so far from the camp that you can't hear it by shouting.
Ke's mind was blank, and the only thought in his mind was to light the beacon.
During the meeting, the leader explained that once something happens at the checkpoint and it is far away from the camp, the beacon fire should be lit immediately as a warning.
The squad leader also told each time to light the beacon if there was a situation.
The fuel pool is next to the watchtower, and a shed is set up above the beacon tower to cover the fuel below.
Ke didn't care about other things at this time, and took the tung oil torch specially used by the tribe to light the fire, and put it in the brazier. Fortunately, the torch was very powerful and ignited immediately, so Ke went straight to the beacon tower without thinking, and threw the torch into it.
The two people who had already climbed up the wall and reached the observation deck felt confused when they saw his behavior.
They didn't feel bad until thick smoke billowed from the beacon tower.
"Dong, what should I do, this smoke is so big, will it attract people?"
Before Dong could speak, he was interrupted by a man with fierce eyes behind him: "Quickly put out that cigarette, you two, go and kill that kid."
But the beacon fire was made of flammable fuel. The man took off the animal skin and slapped it a few times. Not only did the fire not go out, but a large piece of the animal skin was burned.
"No, I need water, and snow is fine too. You wrap the snow with animal skin and give it to me."
Ke at the side saw the fireworks ignited, even if his mission was completed, but he was afraid that the beacon fire would be extinguished by those people, so he didn't dare to leave. In desperation, he could only jump off the side of the watchtower and ran towards the bamboo house. Shouting while running.
Unexpectedly, when those people saw the thick smoke, they couldn't extinguish it no matter what, and wanted to retreat in a panic.
Seeing this, Ke immediately stopped running back. It would be fine if these people were allowed to escape and report the news, so they gritted their teeth and turned around to catch up with those people, keeping a distance not too close or too far.
The fireworks on the observatory are arranged for special people to stare at. The moment the smoke rose, the people in the tribal camp knew it.
Sang Yu was informed at once, grabbed a coat made of animal skins, wrapped it around her body, and walked out the door with her long legs.
As soon as he walked outside, Gao had already assembled everyone, leaving only the members of the neighborhood committee to take care of the rear.
"I don't know the situation this time, and I won't inform Siya for the time being. Each captain leads his team members to obey orders."
Except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, all members of the Phoenix Tribe are soldiers. When engaging in productive labor, it is a kind of grouping.
But when facing a war, it is another grouping, including infantry (bamboo spear soldiers) and archers.
According to the previous divisions, the infantry (bamboo spear soldiers) were divided into four squads, with Zhuang, Yan, Gao, and Cao as the captains.
The archers are divided into three teams, with Yu, Wu and Miao as the captains.
Each team has about thirty-two or three people.
"Strong, lead a team of infantry to charge and go to the checkpoint immediately."
"Yes, all of the infantry, come with me—"
Sang Yu continued to give orders, "Yu, lead all the archery team along the mountainside, from the direction of Sangyuan, and lie in ambush in the rock wall at the upper right of the checkpoint, waiting for orders."
"Follow me! Archers, follow me—"
"Grass, four teams with spears, touch the cave dwelling by the river, and lie in ambush there."
"Gao, you lead the rest of the people to protect the rear of the tribe, and check to see if anyone has sneaked in at the various checkpoints behind."
"Yan, take your people to support Zhuang."
After everything was arranged, Sang Yu followed the infantry and walked towards the checkpoint.
When she walked slowly, seeing Zhuang had already caught him.
"Boss, Dazui is dead. It was Ke's beacon. Now three people have been arrested, and two others have escaped. Ke has been following, and our people have also caught up."
He also chased after him, but Yu Ge stopped him, saying that he was too heavy to run fast, and he was afraid that other people would take the opportunity to attack and let him stay in the tribe to protect the leader.
Zhuang couldn't help but take a sip, what is Shen, is he called Jianshuo, okay, I just don't want to take credit from children.
Sang Yu walked over and lifted the animal skin on the man's head that was pressed on the ground, and the familiar face came into view.
She put down the animal skin, grabbed a handful of snow on the ground and rubbed her hands, as if the things she touched just now were so dirty.
"Take them back and tie them to the square, no one can come near them."
"Yan, put out the beacon fire and arrange for people to refill the fuel."
"Wu, Jiao, from now until midnight, the two of you will guard the checkpoint, and Yan and Bei will come to change shifts tonight."
Those who were pointed out took orders one after another.
At this moment, several black shadows on the snowy ground in the distance gradually approached. It was Ke and Yu who caught the remaining two and were dragging them to the tribe.
When Dong saw such a scene, he knew that everything was over.
They have been observing for a few days, in order to wait for people from the original bird tribe like Dazui, but who don't know about lameness, to come to change shifts.
These two guards have just changed shifts, and no one else will come here. As long as they are dealt with, the checkpoint will be theirs.
After the checkpoint is cleared and the signal is released, the people behind will sneak in and kill the Phoenix Tribe by surprise.
But who would have thought that he would be alerted as soon as he came in, and a group of people came in such a short time, each with a weapon in their hands.
It's a pity that no matter how hard they run, they can't outrun the well-trained Xindi people.
This group of people in the Phoenix Tribe, regardless of men or women, have been raising them all this time, eating well, sleeping well, and not being cold, with nowhere to vent their strength. Now that they are alive, they all want to behave better to show the leader .
On the other hand, people like Dong, after being kicked out by the tribe, had no choice but to live and sleep in the open, so it was good enough to survive. No matter how tyrannical he was, he still couldn't resist a blow from Zhuang's thick arm.
The others were even more so, only the first few faces were a little more tenacious, but they couldn't hold on to a few tricks.
After Ke was brought over, he was a little scared and didn't dare to look up.
Dazui died when he was with him, and he didn't know how the leader should punish him.
"You tell the whole thing from beginning to end."
Ke hurriedly explained what happened just now, and after he finished speaking, he looked at the big mouth that was already stiff not far away, his lips were trembling unceasingly, and after he left, he knelt down with a plop, and kept saying that he would ask the leader to punish him.
Sang Yu probably already understood what was going on, so of course he wouldn't blame Da Zui's death on him.
Going forward to help him up, he said: "You have already dissuaded Dazui from opening the door. He has to blame for everything. You tried your best to ignite the beacon fire. How could I blame you? Not only will I not, I will reward you."
Sang Yu said: "Next year when the tribe's silk comes out, you will be rewarded for a piece of clothing sewn at that time. It is also a reward for your courage and adaptability."
Ke didn't expect that after this encounter, he was rewarded without being punished, his eyes were red and his blood was boiling.
The foreigners of other non-bird tribes were instantly encouraged.
"Leader, I promise that in the future, I will use my life to protect the tribe. If someone dares to rush into the tribe again, I will not take a step back even if I die."
Sang Yu nodded and said, "Courage is commendable, and loyalty is commendable, but besides courage, wisdom is also needed, that is, to use brains to protect the tribe at the least sacrifice."
For Sang Yu's words, these people still half-understand some words. But in their view, what the leader said is correct, and their own answers are already loud.
Ke replied loudly that he would definitely listen to the leader.
Sang Yu was not good at preaching in this icy and snowy place, and said to him: "You have worked hard today, go back and drink some hot soup to warm up."
Ke retreated with red eyes, and Sang Yu continued to arrange other matters.
"Wu, Jiao, from now on, you two need to stay focused and pay attention to the movement on the other side of the wall. Although Dong and the others saw through the trap, they have already been caught, and the location of the trap is still a secret. Don’t panic when you come, just light the beacon.”
"Yu, lead people to continue searching at the foot of the mountain to see if anyone is hiding. After chasing to the position of the high mountain sentry tower, there is no need to chase."
"Obey!"
With a light body, Yu beckoned, and a group of warriors with bows and arrows behind them followed immediately, spreading out to the side of the mountain to search.
"Grass, continue west along the river bank, like Yu, you patrol the other side, and come back immediately at the farthest sentry tower."
Cao took the lead and quickly led people to set off.
"Uh, lead a patrol team, and take the time when a pot of water is full, and patrol every time a pot is full."
"Zhuang, find someone to carry Da Zui back and bury him properly."
After Ke's explanation, everyone in the tribe knew that Dazui lost his life because he had no precautions to lure wolves into the house. His death was worthless and embarrassing.
But after this incident, it also sounded a wake-up call for them, and they must not take it lightly.
It is a pity that this alarm bell was bought at the price of one life.
Regarding Da Zui's death, Sang Yu wanted to hold a memorial service. However, Dazui's behavior is equivalent to a violation of military discipline, and she has no way to add this person as a martyr.
In the end, he found a cabin and asked the people from the tribe to say goodbye to him one by one, and then arranged for Gao to handle the funeral for him.
Even so, the people of the tribe felt that their leader was so merciful.
In the previous tribes, ordinary people died, but they had never been treated like this.
What's more, for a person who deserves to be blamed, the leader will take care of the affairs behind him. Isn't this considered mercy?
After arranging these things, Sang Yu went to interrogate Dong and the others.
Dong was expelled from the tribe with one other person. Besides these two, there are six other faces.
Not surprisingly, these people are all from the Eagle Tribe.
After the rescue incident, the Eagle Tribe must have been traced to the Phoenix Tribe after groping and investigation.
But from the outside, the internal construction of the Phoenix Tribe is in full swing. They are building walls and training troops. Such a large-scale construction content is enough to deter some people with evil intentions. Before finding out the details, the members of the Eagle Tribe did not dare to attack rashly.
However, as a gang that must retaliate, and his own son died in that war, it is absolutely impossible for Black Eagle to give up attacking the Phoenix tribe.
Instead of waiting in fear, it is better to take the initiative to create an opportunity to invite you into the urn.
Liuhuo only worked for a few days when he came to the Phoenix Tribe, and he was locked in a prison made of caves almost all the time. He didn't know much about the tribe's formation and the location of the traps, so it was best to use him as a bait It's just right.
But I didn't expect that the Dongji people also colluded with the people of the Eagle Tribe, and Liuhuo's handwriting must be indispensable among them.
Several small leaders of the tribe also participated in this plan. At that time, most people thought that it was impossible for Liuhuo to go to the Eagle tribe.
After all, what happened to Liuhuo there was obvious to all.
Only Sang Yu thinks that Liu Huo will go to Black Eagle in the end.
Because Liuhuo is not to vent his anger, he is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Sure enough, for the sake of selfish desires in their hearts, people can even endure those terrible humiliations in the past.
Now that the pathfinding team has no information to feed back, the team behind can't stand it anymore and will definitely wait for an opportunity.
In such bad weather, their dry food will be exhausted soon, and they are likely to put all their eggs in one basket.
Just as Sang Yu thought.
In a valley five kilometers away from the Phoenix Tribe, there was a rare large cave there, and a large shed was built outside the cave, and it was densely packed with people.
There are three or four hundred people in detail.
At the entrance of the cave, there stood a burly man with a beard. He held a sharp bone knife in his hand, but walked around anxiously.
This person is Black Eagle, the leader of the Eagle Tribe.
And the gloomy-faced man behind him, who else is not Liuhuo who just escaped from the Phoenix Tribe?
