"Send the order and tell everyone to be on guard. Don't take it lightly!"
Han Xin immediately issued the order.
"yes!"
The two young soldiers immediately turned around and ran out to deliver the order.
"Now that someone has discovered us, it is estimated that the Maurya Dynasty will send people to defend the enemy soon. We must eat quickly and prepare for battle!"
Han Xin put the map away and said solemnly.
"Haha! Just come, are we still afraid of them?"
Not only did Peng Yue not have any sense of urgency, he actually showed great excitement.
"Afraid or not, but as a general, I have to ensure the life of every soldier!"
Han Xin said seriously.
In previous wars, in order to win, it was normal to use human walls to block the enemy's arrows.
But not now, not only must we win, but we must also ensure the lives of the soldiers.
That's why he repeatedly emphasized that the soldiers should be careful, be careful, and be careful again!
Just because they are afraid of a sneak attack by the enemy and sacrificing the lives of the soldiers!
"Yeah! That's right. Now our Great Qin lacks everything, but the most lacking thing is population!"
Wang Li and others understood and nodded repeatedly, no longer daring to take it lightly.
…
On the other side, two dark-skinned middle-aged women ran into the tribe in a panic.
He went to the clan leader, showed signs of his actions, and chatted a lot.
The patriarch's brows suddenly furrowed, "How many people can you see?"
"No! But there must be a lot of them. All the fruits on the trees have been picked, and a large piece is gone!"
"Yes! We also saw huge sea ships, they came from the sea!"
The two women described it to the patriarch in their own language.
"A huge sea ship? How big can it be? Could it be bigger than our elephant army...?"
The patriarch seemed a little unconvinced and shook his head and said: "The waves on the sea are huge, how could someone come from the sea?"
"Yes! I have lived here all my life and I have never seen anyone come from the sea, let alone a large number!"
Another elder with gray hair next to the clan leader also kept shaking his head, thinking it was impossible.
"If you don't believe it, you can send someone to take a look. They must still be there!"
The woman pointed in the direction of the seaside.
"Well! Bruca, Hierro, go and have a look!"
The patriarch assigned two young and strong young men to go and investigate.
The two nodded, turned around and ran out.
After a while, he came back in a panic!
"How about it?"
"Elder... Elder, there are indeed... a large number of invaders! Their ships are bigger than ten elephants, lying in a row in the sea with ferocious faces!"
"What?"
After the two young men discovered Qin Jun's shadow, they did not dare to get too close. They glanced at it from a distance and ran back to report the news.
"They are eating, and there are many people patrolling with weapons. They are probably going to attack us!"
"Are you sure?"
Several elders in the clan were also a little panicked, and started to ask tremblingly.
"That's right! The two of us can see clearly that the number of people is at least 300,000!"
The two nodded firmly.
How dare they lie about such a big matter, involving every one of their lives?
"Quick! Report it quickly!"
The clan leader was also anxious.
If the situation is true as they said, and this large number of invaders are coming for their Maurya Dynasty, then their tribe must bear the brunt and be the first to be attacked.
"good!"
The man known as Bruka turned around and ran out, reporting to Jilinga City.
They are just a small tribe under the jurisdiction of Jilinga City.
The population does not exceed 10,000, and the military strength is just over 1,000.
Because it is along the coast, everyone thinks that no one can come from the sea, so the military strength here is the weakest!
But I didn’t expect that someone could actually come up from the vast sea!
What’s even more unexpected is that in this world, there are people who can build a ship larger than ten elephants!
"Quick! Organize the people, leave quickly and go to Jilinga City!"
The old patriarch gave the order in a panic.
There is no way, with just their number, even if the whole country is armed, it is not enough to resist the 300,000-strong army at the seaside.
While they are eating and haven't started attacking yet, run away as far as you can!
"yes!"
At this time, no one dared to take this matter lightly anymore.
Beating gongs and drums made the people in the tribe flee.
The people came out of the thatched huts in confusion, wanting to inquire about the situation.
But they found that some people had already begun to escape with their wives and children in large and small packages.
As a result, they stopped asking for information and just took their things and ran away!
Something big must have happened, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a big noise without explanation!
"Dangdangdang..."
The gong points are getting denser and denser, and the people in the clan are also feeling anxious, and they can't help but speed up their packing.
At the same time, the sound of these gongs and drums also vaguely reached the ears of the soldiers on the seaside.
"General, listen...!"
Meng Yun pointed in the direction of the village.
"Well! It should be that the two people who just discovered us have gone back to report the news!"
Han Xin was chewing rice, glanced in the direction of the gongs and drums, and said with a smile.
"I don't know what they mean by this? Should we take the initiative to attack?"
Wang Li took two quick bites of the white rice in his rice bowl and said vaguely.
"Let everyone be on alert. There is no need to take the initiative to attack for the time being. Let's finish lunch first!"
"yes!"
Ever since, except for the few people on patrol, the others were still eating rice with peace of mind, occasionally adding a bite of fried bean sprouts and some dried mutton.
These dried muttons were specially prepared by the Ministry of Revenue for the expedition.
The method must have been thought up by Xiao Zhengtai, who said that drying it into dried meat can be preserved for a long time to replenish the strength of the soldiers!
Before they capture the city, they can only use these dried meats to cook meat!
Although I don’t know how many people there are in the black tribe, they are definitely no match for their army of 300,000!
Although the soldiers are eating, their guns are beside them. Once the opponent attacks, the soldiers can grab their guns and fight. It is absolutely impossible to suffer a loss!
According to Han Xin's estimation, it is absolutely impossible for the Mauryan Dynasty to gather a large number of troops here!
Therefore, they don’t need to worry too much for the time being!
After Qin Jun finished lunch safely, Han Xin sent someone to inquire about the news.
After a while, the scout returned, "General, there is only one tribe in front of us. There are about a thousand households. At this time, the buildings are empty! It seems that they left in a hurry, and there are still a lot of livestock and food left. !”
"Well! It seems that the gongs and drums just sounded were not to gather troops, but to organize the people to leave...!"
Han Xin smiled calmly and waved his hand, "Let's go! Let's move forward!"
