When Shi Meng heard Song Xuan's instructions, he didn't dare to delay, and soon he understood Song Xuan's thoughts. Not only did he bring a dozen torches, but he also grabbed a lot of animal skins.
The torches in the tribe are made of wood wrapped in animal skins, and the animal skins are usually soaked with oil, so that the burning time will be very long. Naturally, they are not used in the tribe, but they are usually brought with them when they go hunting or gathering. Some, just in case you can't get back to the tribe in time, so you can see the road clearly when walking at night.
Since they are not used much, there is not much stock in the tribe. The few roots Shi Meng brought are already nearly half full.
But this is not a rare thing. Apart from wasting some oil in making it, other things are not precious.
"Meng, can you throw it?"
The enemies behind the shield obviously also want stability. Instead of cleaning them from the outside to the inside, they go directly to the next circle after clearing one part. This can ensure that a safe passage will be opened soon.
At this time, it was time to clear the last circle, and the distance to the tribe was only more than thirty meters.
"no problem!"
This distance is naturally not difficult for Shi Meng, but it is one thing to hit it, and it is not that easy to succeed.
Shi Yong was confused when he saw the conversation between the two people.
But he soon understood. Shi Meng lit the torch and wrapped half of it with animal skin around the outside. After both were completely burned, he then threw the torch towards the enemy's shield.
Knowing that if he threw it too fast, the torch would easily go out in mid-air, so Shi Meng's force was relatively gentle.
The animal skin wrapped around the torch had loosened itself in mid-air and now hung directly on the shield, while the torch also fell below.
Although they felt the shield move slightly, Wuyu and others behind them thought that Teng She was continuing to attack with bow, arrow and javelin. The previous attack did not work, so they did not pay attention, but soon there was a sound in front of them. Got the burnt smell.
When Song Xuan saw that the animal skin was indeed on fire, he asked Shi Yong to follow suit and set the other shield on fire. Although it took a certain amount of time to burn, and the wood behind it was all cut from fresh trees, he wanted to It is not easy to completely burn the animal skin, but as long as there is no barrier of animal skin, the entire frame will not be able to support it.
The people behind the shield soon realized something was wrong, because a small hole had been burned underneath.
Since he didn't care about continuing to clean the pottery shards, he picked up his shield and prepared to move back. Wu Yu's animal skin was similar to that of Soaring Snake, and the hair on it was basically not cleaned, so the whole thing burned quickly after it was ignited. A few people didn't even bother to hold it, they dropped their shields and ran back.
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh!"
Seeing that the enemy finally ran out from under the shield, Shi Yu drew his bow full moon in anger and shot out an arrow. Although he was more than fifty meters away from the tribe at this time, there was still one person killed by Shi Yu. Cum.
"Meng, go back quickly!"
Fearing that the enemy would react, Song Xuan quickly asked Shi Meng to go back and burn his shield.
This operation of Soaring Snake obviously surprised Wu Yun. This shield can be regarded as Wu Yu's signature weapon and can be used in larger battles.
There are even some tribes that are completely made of wood, but no matter which tribe they face, they are basically helpless. No one has ever thought of burning it with fire.
At this time, it was considered a big loss. The shield that was finally shoveled out was completely burned. The fire quickly burned away the animal skins on it, and the temporary shield made of crossed wood also collapsed. down.
"oh!"
Not long after, the sound of celebration came from the other side. It was obvious that Shi Meng had successfully copied this trick.
Although the fire attack is easy to use, it does take a certain amount of time to burn it. Otherwise, it would be very good if you can burn off the enemy's shield when they charge.
The Karasuba tribe, which had lost its big shield, suddenly stopped moving, but there were still figures flashing in the forest, apparently continuing to work on it. I wonder what tricks Karasuba could come up with after suffering this loss.
The torch thrown by Shi Meng not only ignited the shields of the Black Feather tribe, but also burned the leaves covering the pottery pieces. Soon, three walls of fire formed around the tribe, which was very spectacular.
However, the leaves have not been burned, and the north and south sides have been burned completely before they are even closed.
It's a pity that the enemy is not on top, otherwise he can still recreate the experience of the last battle. Only then did Song Xuan understand why there were so many famous battles about fire in ancient times. This is really useful. You can advance or retreat. Defend, as long as it is used well, it can completely reverse the situation.
Just as Song Xuan continued to prepare the enemy's shield, he saw Wu Yu's man running into the river with the shield, and then put the shield into the water, obviously wanting to wet the animal skin on the shield.
Originally, it could only be ignited by sticking it with flames, but it would not be that easy to ignite the shield again.
After losing the fire attack, Song Xuan couldn't think of any other way to deal with them. It was obviously unrealistic to send people out. Although there was no collective pressure, Karasuba always had 20 or 30 people and shields to maintain their presence. At a distance of more than ten meters, although Teng She could not be attacked, if he sent people out, he would be completely exposed to their attacks. Karasuba was also stuck with the distance.
The shield was quickly reassembled, but judging from the appearance of everyone in Karasuba, this time the shield even took off a lot of clothes to put together. As for the rope, there probably wasn't much left. It looked like it was chopped directly with the animal skin. Appears extremely thick.
Shi Yong also tried to throw a torch, but the answer was just as Song Xuan thought. It did not light up, and was even extinguished by the dripping water drops when he threw it.
At this time, Song Xuan had no choice but to let the people of the Wuyu tribe pull out the pottery pieces one by one and throw them away.
Obviously once all the pottery fragments are removed, it will be time for the enemy to actually attack. It was only noon, and more than half of the pottery pieces on the south side had already been dismantled.
Karasuba's people were not only dealing with the pottery shards around Soaring Snake, they even had time to clean up the traps in the forest. These traps caused them a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, although Karasuba was making trouble in the forest for a long time, he did not find the four Soaring Snake Sentinels still squatting in the trees.
The four of them climbed to the height of the tree immediately. With the cover of the leaves, it was indeed difficult to be discovered. Song Xuan even saw a figure on the top of a tree.
There were enemies on all sides, so he could only wave his hand to let him hide more secretly. If he was discovered, he would almost lose the possibility of escaping.
However, Song Xuan did not rest. Although he watched helplessly as the enemy was dismantling the traps he had carefully laid, he still thought of a way, which was inspired by the leaves just now.
Song Xuan asked Shi Yong to bring a lot of straw from the haystacks in the tribe and threw it directly about two meters away from the wall.
I didn't throw too much at once, just a thin layer, but if it really burned, the firepower wouldn't be too low.
This row of straw is reserved for the people of the Black Feather tribe to enjoy when they attack. Once they approach the Soaring Snake, they can use a few burning sticks to light these straws.
At that time, neither moving forward nor retreating is a good decision.
But whether the straw can be completely burned in a short period of time is a big problem. If the fire cannot be started, the effect will be very limited.
But no matter what, it can be regarded as an attempt. Even if it has no big effect, Teng She will not lose any straw. Although there are only three large haystacks in the tribe, it is enough for daily consumption, at least until the end of the night. It wouldn't be a problem for Yu to retreat, or to repel them completely.
Although Karasuba still lost more men than Soaring Snake, this is considered to be all the people who survived. If the wounded are included, it is not so obvious. At most, there are only sixty or seventy more than Soaring Snake. It’s just a human being, so this is still considered high.
Most of the injured were injured on their feet. Although they could walk, they would be affected to some extent, and at least it would be difficult to increase their speed.
As for those attacked by javelins, bows and arrows, and slings, the injuries will be more serious. Although they will not pose a threat to their lives, it is impossible to fully recover in a short time.
Even if they can continue to participate in the war, they will be affected to some extent.
What Song Xuan wants to do now is to consume as much of the enemy's vitality as possible. As long as Teng She and Wu Yu can reach a relatively balanced state, even if Wu Yu's people are smaller, Teng She's will be defensive after all. one party.
In this aspect alone, Wu Yun will suffer a lot. Of course, Song Xuan now has the confidence to defend completely. He may have been a little worried before, but the enemy lost so many men after the first round of attack. If he wants to attack again, it will take a lot of effort. The price would definitely not be too small. Song Xuan didn't think Wuyun would take such a risk without sufficient preparation.
Although it is possible that Karasuba can rush in, the result will definitely be a lose-lose situation for both sides, and there is even a possibility of failure.
No matter what, at least in the eyes of the Black Feather Tribe, the Soaring Snakes were just a small tribe on the run.
It was obviously impossible for three hundred capable soldiers to be handed over to Teng She. Even if there were seventy of them, Song Xuan felt that the bottom line of the Black Feather Tribe had been touched.
It's so troublesome to attack Soaring Snakes, but what about facing other tribes?
Of course, Song Xuan didn't want Wuyu to just retreat here and spend time with Teng She, which was what he was most happy to see. The more people Karasuba died here, the gap between Soaring Snake and them became smaller and smaller, not to mention that the people left here were all adult men.
