Although the sky was getting darker, both sides did not relax their vigilance.
According to Karasuba's habit, attacking in the early hours of the morning is their favorite thing to do. Whether it was attacking Soaring Snake last year or attacking the Kite and Bear tribes this year, this time was always chosen.
If today's action hadn't been discovered in advance, Karasuba would have taken action at that time.
Fortunately, the weather has been quite good recently. Even at night, the situation on the open ground can be seen clearly through the moonlight. It does not matter if there are occasional dark clouds. Whether it is Wu Yu or Teng She, there are many bonfires.
Not to mention the bright bonfires near Soaring Snake, at least it would be very difficult for both sides to move on a large scale.
Although only a few people were left watching behind the fence, no one went back directly to the house. After all, most houses are still some distance away from the fence, especially it takes time to get out of the house.
So except for the children who went back to rest in the house closest to the wall, everyone else rested on the spot, around the campfire and covered with animal skins. Fortunately, the temperature was not too low, although the conditions were poor. Some but not a big problem.
At least this is better than being in the wild. It is blocked by walls and there is no wind. Compared with the people of the Black Feather Tribe, everyone can naturally get a better rest.
After today's battle, everyone is no longer as nervous as before. It's time to eat and rest.
Although the pressure was still considerable, it was obviously unrealistic for Karasuba to attack Soaring Snake with very few casualties.
However, the straw that Wu Yu piled up around him was obviously of great use. Although Song Xuan roughly guessed Wu Yun's thoughts, he could only watch their actions. At this time, the moon was dark and the wind was high. Can he destroy it? Yes, this is the most likely time.
But the enemy's blockade was too tight. Not only did they stand still and stare at Teng Snake, but they even sent a few people to patrol continuously. This not only made the people of the Black Feather tribe watch more attentively, but also put pressure on Teng Snake. It got bigger.
It wasn't until the latter half of the night that the enemy's surveillance relaxed a little. It was probably because they saw that Teng Snake had no unnecessary actions and the time was very late, so they canceled the patrol.
Song Xuan's idea is very simple, that is to send people to find a way to set fire to the haystacks in the distance. Of course, the best possibility is to also deal with the haystacks in the rice fields, so that it will be very difficult to add later.
But it is also very difficult. After all, there are more than a dozen people staring at this side alone. Although they all look dazed, it is easy to attract attention if they move too much.
"Angel, what do you think of this?"
Looking at the two rows of teeth that were particularly bright in the dark night, Song Xuan also felt a little funny. At this time, Shi Yong smeared charcoal ash all over his body, completely turning into a black man.
Although there is moonlight and bonfire illumination, if you lie on the ground in darkness, it is relatively difficult to attract the enemy's attention.
"Hahaha~"
"Okay, stop laughing!"
In order to ensure easy movement, he was completely naked, and there was a shield also dyed black on his back, which still looked a bit funny.
Song Xuan's idea was to let him sneak over while the enemy was slightly relaxed, and throw the prepared fire into the haystack.
As long as they don't react immediately, they can quickly ignite it. At least these grasses were moved here by the Black Feather Tribe with great effort. Burning them will also give them a lot of trouble.
Although there is a relatively high risk in doing so, Song Xuan also noticed that there seemed to be no archers among the people watching the night. Even if they were discovered, as long as Shi Yong could run a little faster, he would not be sure of being attacked by the enemy. Big, after all it is still night.
"Turn down the fire!"
Song Xuan was waiting for an opportunity to make Shi Yong less exposed as much as possible.
Fortunately, God gave us some help, and before long, a large dark cloud covered the moon.
"Yong, hurry up, be careful!"
Seeing Shi Yong carefully climbing out of the gap in the wall, the entire action did not attract the enemy's attention. Song Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then watched him move slowly.
If he hadn't known that Shi Yong had indeed escaped from the tribe, even Song Xuan might not have been able to accurately find Shi Yong crawling on the ground in such a dim situation.
Although it was not eye-catching, Shi Yong did not dare to climb too fast. After all, he was just rubbed with burned charcoal on the ground, and it fell off quickly. Even though he usually does not look white, this In this case, it is easier to be discovered by others.
The place where the Wuyu tribe stacked the haystacks was about 70 or 80 meters away from Teng Snake.
It was not easy for Shi Yong to climb over safely.
Halfway through the climb, there was movement in the forest ahead.
Then Wu Yu started a new round of patrol, which suddenly put Shi Yong in a very embarrassing situation. If he continued to crawl forward at this time, the risk of exposure would be even greater. He was a little unwilling to retreat. After all, we are already halfway up the climb.
The people in Karasuba who had been taught a lesson no longer fished. Wave after wave of people patrolled. Although there were only one or two people at a time, the frequency was quite high. There were almost no gaps. The dozen or so people who were on guard were patrolling. People also cheered up and were no longer as drowsy as before.
Half an hour later, Shi Yong had only moved forward five or six meters. According to this progress, the conditions behind him were getting more and more difficult. Even if he climbed until dark, it would be impossible to complete the task safely. Then he saw Shi Yong moving backward. He waved his hand, which was the signal Song Xuan had agreed with him before.
That is, if the attempt to sneak in is unsuccessful, then directly try to throw the torch over, and then Shi Yong throws it to the haystack. Regardless of success or failure, it is still an attempt.
Although he knew that he was not very sure, that was all he could do at this point. If Shi Yong had to bite the bullet and crawl forward, he would be put in a dangerous situation. How could he lose a general just to burn a haystack? It’s not worth looking at.
After all, it has reached more than forty meters. It is still very difficult to ensure sufficient accuracy when throwing wood directly. It is even more difficult to ensure that the torch falls steadily around Shi Yong, so now these torches It was specially made by Song Xuan.
The main body is the javelin commonly used in the tribe. Song Xuan asked Shi Ban to polish the tail a little thinner and wrap it with several layers of animal skin. Although it is thinner than ordinary torches, it is easier to throw.
"Kite, throw it accurately!"
"Silk! Divine Envoy!"
Shi Meng is also responsible for the north, and the task of throwing javelins and torches falls on Yuan Yu. Although there may be further learning in other areas, he is no worse than Shi Meng and others in throwing javelins.
At the same time, in order to ensure reliability, Song Xuan also asked Shuiyun and several javelin throwers in the tribe to throw them in front and around Shi Yong at the same time.
Seeing that Shi Yong had turned his face sideways, and presumably so that everyone could identify its position more clearly, Shi Yong even showed his teeth.
Song Xuan didn't waste any time. When he saw two people walking by, he said to them:
"Throw!"
I saw a few flaming javelins falling next to Shi Yong in an instant, and one of them was caught by him with his bare hands.
Before the enemy could react, Shi Yong stood up first and threw the javelin in his hand into the haystack not far away.
"fire!!!"
"people!!"
Although Shi Yong was the only one, the commotion caused was quite big, and everyone in Karasuba suddenly became confused.
But the sentry had just reacted and was about to rush towards Shi Yong. At this time, there was only one javelin left beside Shi Yong. Seeing that the enemy was already charging towards him, he pulled it out and threw it out regardless of whether he was accurate or not.
Then he got up and ran towards the tribe. Due to the sudden incident, Wu Yu's people didn't seem to think of using their weapons. By the time they reacted, Shi Yong was only about 20 meters away from the tribe. They It would be dangerous to rush forward any further. Most people had seen Teng Snake's weapons before. If he rushed directly to Teng Snake like this, it would most likely be difficult to go back.
Seeing that the enemy's pursuit had slowed down, Shi Yong twisted his butt coquettishly. However, the moonlight was dim, so his butt was still completely black, so it was not conspicuous.
As soon as Shi Yong ran under the wall, many enemies in the forest quickly came out, all holding torches. They were obviously frightened by the reactions of the people who were responsible for sentry duty before.
Seeing that Shi Yong had safely returned to the tribe, the people chasing him had to give up.
"Angel, how are you doing?"
However, although Shi Yong moved quickly, the effect did not seem to be obvious. A total of seven javelins were thrown at him, and only five fell around him. Two of them had already been extinguished when they were thrown over. After some tossing by Shi Yong, Three javelins were destroyed, and two more were destroyed. In the end, only one remained burning and was thrown into the haystack.
The effect of this stick was pretty good, and it quickly ignited the surrounding area, but as soon as it started burning, it was discovered by Karasuba's people.
Then a group of people went up and put it out. In other words, Shi Yong's efforts ended up with nothing. The biggest result was that he tormented Karasuba.
All the people who had gone into the forest to rest came out. Wu Yun thought that Teng She wanted to sneak attack or run away at night. When he came out, he realized that there was only one person. In addition to scolding the few people responsible for keeping track, he felt that It was a pity, after all, if they could lure Soaring Snake out, they wouldn't have to inflict too much damage to attack.
Just when everyone felt that this time it did not have much effect, Shi Yu came to Song Xuan and whispered:
"Angel, the two people on the other side of the straw seem to be Shi Feng and Shi Xi."
"!!"
Shi Feng and Shi Xi were the ones who were responsible for keeping an eye on Karasuba. Since they failed to return to the tribe in time, they hid in the forest.
Song Xuan looked in the direction of Shi Yu's finger. Sure enough, there was something wrong with two people. Although their eyes were not as good as Shi Yu's, they both held a burning piece of wood in their hands. They were pointing the way. At the same time, they were also pointing the way. One hand was placed across his chest, as if he was raising his thumb. This gesture was not common among the surrounding tribes, and Teng She only started to use it after Song Xuan arrived.
The most important thing is that the two of them have connected their arms, which is obviously different from the people of the surrounding Karasuba tribe.
This is a path that Song Xuan has never imagined. Before, he was only worried about the safety of a few people, and did not expect to allow a few people to completely penetrate into the enemy.
It may still be a bit dangerous during the day, but it is night after all, and both the eyesight and visibility have dropped a bit, not to mention the large number of people in the Black Feather Tribe. There are more than a hundred people on the south side of Soaring Snake plus the Wolf Tribe. It is impossible for everyone to know each other.
