The captives who had been kneeling all night were already unable to hold on any longer. They had originally rushed over overnight to prepare for a sneak attack, but unexpectedly, they were burned to ashes by Teng She before it even started.
In the ensuing battle, they were beaten more and fought back less. The Tengshe people used the fence to pull wildly. They were finally defeated and caught. They still knelt here for a day and a night, not to mention that many of them were still wearing hurt.
Teng She and the others were very deadly when they beat them, especially those who climbed up the wall. No matter what they were holding, they would hit them hard with a heavy hammer. Nearly half of these prisoners now had dirty heads. The blood even formed a lot of scabs on his face.
Yesterday everyone also discussed how to deal with these prisoners. Since it is difficult to kill them, they have to find a way to use them for themselves. So many young and middle-aged people are of great help to Teng Snake. They have always been limited by the lack of manpower before, but now they are finally here. Being able to let go and do something big.
After sending Shui Yun away, Song Xuan faced the prisoners and said:
"Help them untie them!"
Although they had untied the ropes on their bodies, not many people could really stand up. The long-term poor blood circulation had made these people's bodies stiff.
"Meng, let the men and women stand separately!"
“Chirping…thunder banging#￥%@”
As Shi Meng finished speaking, the prisoners in front of him began to move slowly. Most of them couldn't stand up and could only crawl around. When they saw the few people in front of them moving a little slower, Shi Meng even "friendly" went up to help. He kicked the man on the butt, and the huge force indeed made him jump forward.
With this person as a demonstration, the others' movements obviously became faster, and they were divided into two teams after a while.
Although this place has entered a patriarchal society, the status of women is not low. There are also women in the Tengshe tribe who participate in hunting, but the number may be smaller. The same is true in battle. Men are naturally the main force, but strong women can also weave. If you join the team, of course, the number of people will be smaller.
Among the sixty remaining members of the Black Feather Tribe, there were only sixteen women. Fortunately, Shuiyun and the others took away all men, which finally lowered the male-to-female ratio.
Song Xuan took a look at the condition of these people. Overall, they were pretty good. Although most of them had injuries, they were not serious. There were no broken arms or legs. Song Xuan was still worried about so many stones hitting them. There will be many people with broken bones.
In fact, what Song Xuan didn't know was that everyone had already conducted a preliminary screening when capturing the prisoners, and only those who were relatively healthy would stay. As for those with serious injuries, they had long been sent away with an axe. Those people were all at this time. Already burned to ashes.
If you want to keep so many prisoners, the first thing you need to consider is housing. You can't let them kneel outside like this every day.
Since there are too many captives, the hunting team cannot easily go out, so during this period everyone can only move around the tribe. Fortunately, there is still a lot of food accumulated, enough for everyone to eat for a month or two.
Naturally, the captives will not have food like a snake. Two meals a day will ensure that they do not starve to death.
The construction of the residence still had to be done by themselves, and Song Xuan also decided on the place where the prisoners would live, close to the tribe's sheep and rabbit houses.
At the same time, in order to prevent them from escaping, some changes have to be made in the design of the house. There are fifty-four people, and Song Xuan is going to build six houses for them. Each house can accommodate eight or nine people. It is not too crowded, so to speak. Being a prisoner, this condition is not bad.
In addition to the existing fence in the tribe, a higher fence must be arranged for them separately. It's fine if someone is watching during the day, but if one of them escapes accidentally at night, the tribe will suffer a big loss. .
The height of the prisoner's fence must be at least twice as high as the existing one, so that it will not be easy to climb out. The structure of the house cannot be like Tengshe's existing one. The houses where the prisoners live are all semi-crypt style, which makes it difficult to climb out. Dig a part underground and build a roof on top.
This is easier to do. You don’t need too many pillars around it. Just dig more than one meter into the ground and build a roof directly on top. Just leave a slope for entry and exit. Although the environment is a little worse, it is more convenient. manage.
After formulating the plan, Song Xuan asked Shi Meng to lead a group of people to cut wood. Although the wood tribe that built the house had stock, it was all chopped back with hard work by everyone, and naturally it would not be used in Wuyu. on these prisoners.
They have to earn everything back by themselves. The Soaring Snake Tribe will not raise idle people, at least this situation will not happen to the captives.
He took the remaining twenty or so people to the extinguished woods, burned them for a day and a night, and finally burned all the trees clean.
Song Xuan brought people over to deal with the corpses thrown in yesterday. Although they also brought some wood from the tribe at that time, many people were piled up and it was difficult to burn them cleanly. Song Xuan asked the prisoners to burn them cleanly. Picking up the unburned bones, something was going to be planted behind the land after all, and Song Xuan didn't want to just pick out a bone when he was planting.
Fortunately, the trees have been completely burned, and the bones that have not been burned are still obvious. However, the psychological pressure on the prisoners is still a bit too great to do this work. After all, they were fighting alongside them yesterday. enemy.
After picking up the bones, Song Xuan asked each of them to get a tool. The main task was to turn the ground over.
However, this area was still a forest before. Even if the fire burned the tree trunks, the roots were still there, so the work was not easy. Before digging twice, I encountered the roots.
There is nothing that can be done about this. Who said that this era is full of trees? There are some treesless land downstream, but the distance is really too far. It is not worth it to have to travel so far for these few acres of land. Fortunately, now this kind of work can be done directly by the prisoners, which saves Teng She a lot of trouble.
In order to prevent the prisoners from escaping, Song Xuan also asked people to set up some more traps around the tribe. This time there was plenty of time and manpower. Song Xuan had no other requirements and only said to Shi Yong:
"The greater the number, the greater the damage!"
After all, more is better, and big is beautiful!
When designing traps, Song Xuan would also let the captives visit when he brought them back to the tribe, mainly to let them see the current situation clearly.
The trap formations now are much denser than when they came. There are many on the other side, and there are many spikes inserted in the river. It can be said to be an all-round defense. Shi Yong patted his chest and asked Song Xuan Promise, never let a prisoner go.
