At night, Lin Bei was patrolling around when a sergeant came to report: "My lord, a sergeant has returned by boat."

Lin Bei hurried back to the stockade, Wang Laicai was already inquiring, and only the sergeants of the two ships came back, and these sergeants did not find any trace of the natives.

"Don't worry, my lord. The natives live by the water, and the soldiers went up the river. It's a bit slow. Some soldiers didn't come back. They must have discovered something."

More and more boats came back, and finally, they finally brought back the news that Lin Bei needed.

"My lord, we have discovered that native tribe." The sergeant reported.

"Very well, how big is that tribe? How many people are there, and how far is it from here?"

"It's about [-] miles upstream by boat. The upstream of this river is a big river. On the bank of the river is the indigenous tribe. Judging from the number of camps and dwellings, there should be more than [-]."

"More than five thousand?" Lin Bei was taken aback, such a big tribe?After pondering for a while, he said, "They don't have city walls? Just camps and wooden houses?"

"Yes, my lord, we saw a few aboriginal women washing clothes by the river, covering their bodies with coarse cloth and leaves. Most of the aboriginal men are naked, very vulgar."

After further questioning, Lin Bei let the sergeant go down to discuss with Wang Laicai how to attack the tribe.

Wang Laicai said confidently: "My lord, these native chickens and dogs are nothing more than dogs. As long as you give me five hundred soldiers, I can destroy this tribe."

"Don't be careless. If you can form a tribe and gather more than [-] people, the strength of this tribe should not be underestimated."

This kind of native has no laws at all. A big fist means power, and it can form a gathering place of more than [-] tribes.If you say that they don't have warriors, Lin Bei really doesn't believe it, and these warriors may not be rare. The only thing you need to know is whether these people have undergone specific training, that is, training like the army.

If they have not been trained, then these people can only be regarded as bandits at best, and they are incomparable to the sergeants of Wanghaicheng.But if it's well-trained, it's not very easy to fight.

"Let the sergeant go to investigate again tomorrow, to investigate whether there are warriors like soldiers in this tribe, and then make a decision after the investigation is over." Lin Bei was still very cautious when leading troops for the first time. This is a famous saying passed down from the ancestors, and it must not be ignored.

the second day.A dozen new boats were built, and Wang Laicai sent them out. It was not until the third day that the soldiers came back to report.

There are some people who look like sergeants in that tribe, but their attitude is loose and domineering. They are probably some thugs or guards of the tribe leader, and other things.The protection measures of that tribe were not strict, and there was no one to take care of the river bank next to the river.It was just that some wild animal traps were set up next to the forest. The sergeant stepped forward to check, and many of these traps were still unusable.

Lin Bei breathed a sigh of relief, and said that the aborigines were indeed the aborigines, and in that case, Lin Bei was naturally not polite.

present.Lin Bei ordered the sergeants to investigate again, and asked the boatmen to build the boat quickly, so that they could attack immediately after the boat was built.

The boats being built now are naturally not big boats, but small boats of that kind.The boat can carry five people, and one of them has to be the oarsman. Although the number of the tribe is about [-], Lin Bei also thinks that [-] soldiers are enough to break through the tribe, so the soldiers can set off after the boat is built. .

In the next few days, the sergeants sent back the news of the tribe every day. Lin Bei knew the natives well, but the natives didn't know it. Lin Bei's last worry was gone. It was so easy.

"What? A big ship went to that tribal gathering place today?" That night, the sergeant came to report the news.

"Yes, my lord, there are five large ships in total. Judging by the clothes and appearance of the people on board, they must be Han Chinese." The sergeant paused and continued: "These people escorted more than fifty women and some goods into that tribe. Because the goods are covered and some distance away, we don't know what it is."

Wang Laicai thumped the ground heavily, and said angrily, "It must be that dog thief surnamed Jin in Yizhou. It's so kind, but he sent it to his door."

Lin Bei asked again: "Is there a sign on the boat?"

The sergeant shook his head: "There is no sign."

"These thieves are doing evil things without conscience. They dare not show their true colors. They can only hide their heads and show their tails. They are just idiots." Wang Laicai said disdainfully, and then asked to fight: "My lord, now that the ship has been built, please allow me to send troops immediately. Kill these villains!"

At present, ninety or so ships have been built, and there are still a few to one hundred ships, but this is not a problem, because it is getting late, so it is decided to send troops tomorrow, Wang Laicai excitedly agreed.

That night, the sergeants got a good night's sleep, and the boatmen rushed to build ten more boats, bringing the number of boats to one hundred and four. They took the boat directly and headed towards that tribe.

Before leaving, Lin Bei asked Wang Laicai to say a few words. The first is to wait for it to get dark before sneaking ashore to make a surprise attack. The second is to try to kill as few people as possible, unless they are aboriginals with strong resistance. For the labor force, killing one means one less labor force. The third is that the sergeant is strictly forbidden to rape/yin women. Lin Bei is very serious about this, and ordered Wang Laicai to tell the sergeant that if he violates it, he will be executed without mercy.

Lin Bei has a high tolerance for other things, that is, the third point is that Lin Bei's tolerance is zero, and Lin Bei knows that after the victory of the ancient war, some generals would indulge the soldiers in order to boost morale after the victory, but when it comes to Lin Bei Certainly not, not now, and not in the future.

Wang Laicai set off, and he had to start making preparations here. After all, he would take over the tribal gathering place after victory, so the shipbuilding could not stop. At noon of this day, the second wave of sergeants arrived here from Wanghai City. The number of soldiers in this wave It's two thousand. At that time, these sergeants will escort the natives back to Wanghai City.

ps: ps: It's almost the end of the month, please ask for subscription, monthly pass and recommendation.

Chapter 212

The day after the arrival of the second wave of sergeants, at noon.

Lin Bei and the soldiers were waiting by the river. At this time, Wang Laicai should have sent the soldiers back to report the battle situation. Lin Bei turned his head, looked at the person beside him, and said with a smile, "Long Yi, how are you doing in the army?"

Long Yi came with the second wave of sergeants, and now they are all in the army, and they are no longer Lin Bei's Dragon God Guards for the time being, but their names have not changed.

"My lord, I have a good life in the army, but I miss you all the time." Long Yigong said.

After arriving at Wanghai, Lin Bei used the excuse that there was no war in Wanghai City to let the ten dragon god guards go to the army for training. At first they were unwilling, so Lin Bei could only show his righteousness, saying that there was no future for following him. It would be more useful to say that they would go to the army with their skills, but Long Yi and the others could only go to the army in the end, and they should all be corporal leaders now.

"You can practice hard, don't fall into the title of guardian of the Dragon God. When you all become generals and commanders, I will let you go out to conquer the vast territory for my lord." Lin Bei told Long Yi. Promised a pie.

Long Yi solemnly said: "My lord, we will do our best to live up to your expectations."

After talking with Long Yi, a few small boats appeared on the river in the distance, the sergeant and Lin Bei regained their spirits and came back.

"My lord, the Wabo tribe has been defeated by Commander Wang." The sergeant on the boat started to shout from a long distance away.

Although this was expected, when Lin Bei actually heard the victory, he still felt a big stone in his heart drop.

The boat docked, and the second wave of troops quickly boarded the boat and headed for the tribe. Now that the boat was small, it took several times to let the sergeant go back and forth. Only one sergeant was left to report the situation ahead.

"I waited there yesterday. It was only noon, and the commander asked me to rest first. After eating dry food at night, it was dark, and the commander gave the order to attack the village." The sergeant said.

Lin Beixin said that Wang Laicai is still very calm, which is very good.It's really easy for me to attack the enemy in secret, and to attack him unprepared.

"When I landed from the river bank by boat, I lit the torches and set fire to the wooden houses with rockets. My lord, those natives were brave. Many people came desperately, but most of them were shot by our archers. There was a rush. Those who came over were also surrounded and killed by the infantry, and the battle lasted for about two hours, and finally the native tribe was defeated."

"How about our casualties?"

"Fifty-one people were killed in battle, and 51 people were injured." Said the sergeant.

"What does Wang Laicai eat? How can so many people die in this situation?" Lin Bei was angry.

With such an undefended tribe, it is also a surprise attack at night, and the soldiers form a battle formation to advance, shoot first with archers and then resist the enemy with infantry, which is supposed to be a breeze.So Lin Bei didn't understand how so many people died.

"My lord, don't blame the commander-in-chief. Because the weapons of those natives are very weird. They can blow flying arrows from their mouths. The flying arrows are small and silent, and they are quenched with poison. This point has not been found out by the sentry, so it suddenly happened. Some sergeants died, and some natives hid behind their houses and attacked them with flying arrows, making it hard to defend against."

"Flying arrows? But the kind blown with a wooden barrel?"

"Exactly."

Lin Bei took a breath, suppressed his anger, and thought that Wang Laicai could not be blamed for the aborigines having such weapons.This kind of arrow is blowing arrows. The arrows in the tube are very small. Originally, they are not very lethal, but as long as they are smeared with poison, the lethality will be doubled. Moreover, it is really difficult to guard against. The natives still have some means.

"What about the tribe?"

"Our army killed more than [-] people from the Wabo tribe, captured more than [-] people alive, and more than [-] people fled into the dense forest at night. Our army couldn't catch up. Last night, the sergeants interrogated them all night. It turns out that besides the Wabo tribe, there are also the Haka tribe and the Fengsi tribe nearby. Among them, the Fengsi tribe and the Wabo tribe are about the same size, and the Haka tribe is the largest, with about [-] people. These people are likely to flee through the dense forest. Those two big tribes."

Lin Bei nodded, thinking of those Han people again: "Did you catch those Han people who came by boat?"

"Some were caught, and others were killed by the sergeants. They were interrogated last night. They said they were servants of the Jin family in Yongchang County, Yizhou. The leader of these people was Jin Ba, but they didn't come with the boat. They are now Among the Nahaka tribe, the person in charge who came to the Wabo tribe was named Jin Shishi, who was also arrested, and is now under guard by a sergeant."
