Crossing the famine: The hunter's wife has good farmland

After the road was cleared, Fu Cang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He also asked stonemasons to carve a number of stone lamps along the road, which were filled with pine oil. When they were lit at night, there would be no problem for horses or carriages passing by on this road.

As soon as Fu Cang returned to the tent, Xiao Tu came back with his men.

As soon as he came back, he couldn't wait to say, "Chief, there is something unusual happening in the Bullfighting Tribe."

"Bullfighting tribe?"

Fu Cang took out the map and found the location of the Bullfighting Tribe.

"Yes, Chief. My scouts have sent me information that the Bullfighting Tribe is gathering a large number of soldiers. They started gathering after the spies who were investigating around the iron mine returned. So I guess their target is our iron mine."

"How many soldiers did they muster?"

"There are one hundred cavalrymen and three hundred infantrymen. Among the three hundred infantrymen, there are one hundred archers. It is obvious that they are planning to attack us at night."

Fu Cang frowned deeply.

"What a big deal! Four hundred people came all at once! How many soldiers do they have left in their tribe?"

"There are still three hundred soldiers left in the tribe."

"This Bullfighting Tribe is very powerful. There are more than 700 soldiers in the tribe."

"The Bullfighting Tribe is a large tribe near us. The population of the tribe is about 5,000, so 700 soldiers is not a lot."

"Compared to them, our military strength is far behind. We only have more than 350 soldiers at most..."

Fu Cang pondered for a moment, and instead of showing any fear on his face, he began to laugh.

"But this is just right. They have dispersed their forces and are planning to attack the iron mine at night. I feel very sorry about this. I will not leave any of the 400 men alive. I will accept them all!"

Xiao Tu's face originally had an anxious expression on it, but now seeing Fu Cang looking so confident, he was suddenly puzzled.

"Chief, we can't underestimate the enemy. They have 400 men coming here, which exceeds the total strength of our tribe. It seems that the Bull Fighting Tribe is determined to take this iron mine!"

"What you said is true, but the Bullfighting Tribe is still a little arrogant. The iron ore belt is originally in the dense forest in the mountains, which is particularly suitable for ambushes. It just so happens that I have set up a lot of traps there recently. Now it's time to verify whether these traps are useful.

"Xiao Tu, go out and explore again. We must find out whether the Bull Fighting Tribe's target is the iron mine or our tribe."

"Yes!"

Xiao Tu left again, and Fu Cang went to the barracks to check the soldiers.

The previous moment he was still worried about the fact that there were too many men in the tribe. At this moment, he wished that the tribe was full of strong men, so that no matter who came, he could kill the other party without leaving a single piece of armor!

Mo Xiaonian and Yue Lu were waiting for Fu Cang to come home for dinner, but after waiting for a long time, what they got was a soldier who came back to deliver a letter.

When Mo Xiaonian heard that the soldiers of the Bullfighting Tribe might attack the iron mine tonight, she suddenly became alert. She went back to her room, took out a small wooden box, and asked the soldiers to take it to Fu Cang, and to be careful not to bump around.

The soldier carefully handed the box to Fu Cang. Fu Cang opened it and saw that it was full of thunder and fire bombs.

These thunder and fire bombs are larger and darker in color than the ones they made before. Fu Cang guessed that they must have been made secretly after Mo Xiaonian improved them.

Fu Cang shook his head helplessly.

This little Nian is not obedient at all, but she always makes him feel warm in his heart.

These were indeed made secretly by Mo Xiaonian. In addition to the box she gave to Fu Cang, she also kept a box in the space for herself for self-defense.

These were made in space after she increased the dosage. She had already tested the power, and it was much greater than the previous batch. Even if it didn't kill someone, it would certainly break their arms or legs.

The sneak attack by the Bull Fighting Tribe put considerable pressure on the Yueluo Tribe. Yuelu thought about it and simply rang the gong to notify everyone in the tribe, asking them to be more alert when they go to bed tonight and to prepare their weapons at home. In case of an invasion by foreign enemies, everyone must fight to the death.

The people of the Yueluo tribe were in panic all of a sudden.

They just had less than two days of good times!

Fu Cang had already arranged all the soldiers, and sent Xiong Ben and Xiong Fei out to set up an ambush around the iron mine. He stayed behind with a hundred cavalrymen, and after seeing the signal, he headed straight for the iron mine.

It was completely dark now.

The scouts sent out by Xiao Tu have not sent back any news, which makes Xiao Tu particularly anxious.

Fu Cang pressed his shoulder.

"Don't worry. Scouts are also human beings. Even if they find out some information, they have to rush back as fast as possible. All we can do now is wait."

Xiao Tu gritted his teeth and nodded.

What he is most worried about now is that the Bull Fighting Tribe did not attack the iron mine, but came to attack the tribe. If that is the case, then there is a serious error in the intelligence he provided, and he cannot afford such consequences.

Another hour passed, and the scout finally came back riding a fast horse.

"Report to the leader, the soldiers of the Bull Fighting Tribe have turned to the path leading to the Iron Mine. The destination of their night raid tonight is the Iron Mine!"

Xiao Tu breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Cang nodded.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Have you informed Xiong Ben about this matter?"

"Someone has already been sent to inform Captain Bear."

After determining the target of the Bull Fighting Tribe, Fu Cang set off with a hundred cavalrymen.

Xiao Tu and Shitou Jiandao stayed at home, and Fu Cang left them with a hundred soldiers.

Fu Cang led the soldiers along the way, lighting the stone lamps on the roadside along the way. The faint light illuminated their way up the mountain.

By the time Fu Cang arrived at the outskirts of the iron mine, the Bullfighting Tribe and Xiong Ben and Xiong Fei had already started fighting.

Although the Bullfighting Tribe brought a lot of soldiers, it was a dark and windy night and they encountered the well-prepared Xiong Ben. Many soldiers of the Bullfighting Tribe were lured into the trap and fell into the pit, breaking their bones.

Most of the casualties in the trap were cavalry. After these cavalry had almost exhausted the trap, the infantry behind them rushed over.

Xiong Ben lit a flare at this time.

The moment the flare was launched into the air, it illuminated everything around it.

The loud noise and bright light it emitted attracted the attention of all the soldiers of the Bullfighting Tribe.

The archers lying in ambush in the woods recognized the location of the Bullfighting Tribe soldiers and launched a wave of arrow attacks.
