All those who came here from the Tang Dynasty were one person and two horses. When Cheng Zhijie heard that Tang Ping wanted him to take people hunting, he immediately divided a hundred horses out.
The Indians had long been very curious about these war horses. They heard that they could ride them out for hunting, and they almost got into a bloody fight.
Later, Cheng Zhidao ordered a hundred people who liked it, and then each of them was given a Tang Dynasty bow and arrow.
Although these Indians have never ridden horses, they have good balance and flexibility.
Coupled with the wildness in his blood, he is naturally courageous.
They quickly learned how to control horses, and several Indians even learned how to shoot bows and arrows directly from horses, but their accuracy was still a bit lacking.
Then Cheng Zhijie set off with his new cavalry team.
The speed at which reindeer and bison on the grassland can hunt large prey is only as fast as the war horses of the Tang Dynasty.
Many are still inferior.
Therefore, Cheng Zhijie and the others could easily catch up and shoot the fleeing prey with bows and arrows.
In just one day, the various prey harvested were enough to feed the entire tribe for several days.
Tang Ping took out a lot of salt and taught the women and elders in the tribe how to marinate meat with salt so that the meat could be preserved longer in the warm season.
In the past, due to the lack of preservation methods, meat would quickly rot if not eaten, which was also one of the reasons for food shortages.
The Mayans who had learned how to ride and shoot no longer felt that the Yellowstone tribesmen would pose a threat to them.
Because the horses under their crotches were impossible for the Yellowstone tribe to catch up with their legs.
And the bows and arrows of the Tang Dynasty were more powerful than the primitive bows and arrows they and the Huangshi tribe had.
It is a pity that the production process of these bows and arrows is too complicated, and these Mayans cannot make them yet.
Half a month later, the simple city wall that surrounded the city was completed.
The Mayans did not expect that such a city wall could be made out of wood. It can even be said that this is the first city wall on this continent.
This city was also named Maya City by Tang Ping and others.
Everyone cheered.
The children in the tribe were even more happy to run out and back in through the only city gate.
In their opinion, with such a city wall, no matter how powerful the beast or the Yellowstone tribe is, they can no longer pose a threat to them.
The scouts sent by Li Shimin reported that the Huangshi tribe's army followed the traces of their vehicles and chased them.
We are still about three days away from the Mayan city of the Mayan tribe.
Without horses, they could only move forward on their legs.
Even when Datang's scouts came within a few dozen meters and began to count how many of them there were, they had no choice!
However, they will not give up, because the clan leader gave a death order and must get the horses and weapons of these weirdos.
They believed that the other party only had more than a hundred people, and no matter how powerful they were, they couldn't possibly be opponents with so many of them.
As long as they have the other party's horses and weapons, the Yellowstone tribe will definitely become more powerful.
This is also their consistent logic. As long as something is seen by them, it must belong to them.
Li Shimin directly asked Cheng Zhijie to take everyone out for another round of hunting, firstly to increase the food reserves in the Mayan city, and secondly to reduce the food available to the Yellowstone tribe.
It took these people almost twenty days to get here from the Yellowstone Tribe. With their logistical supply capabilities, they would definitely not have much food after arriving here.
By then, as long as they guard it for a few days, the people of the Yellowstone tribe will probably panic.
Save food and drinking water, and wait quietly in the city as soon as the Mayan city gate is closed.
If they were afraid of the Yellowstone Tribe before, now they are actually looking forward to the Yellowstone Tribe's arrival.
Two days later, an army of almost five thousand people from the Huangshi tribe arrived.
They came here not only to rob the war horses and weapons of the Tang Dynasty, but also to destroy all the tribes in the south, occupy a larger territory and capture more slaves.
The tribes of the Tang Dynasty and the Mayans were just their first stop.
But when they saw this wooden city wall that they had never seen before, they were all stunned.
"What's this?"
"Piles of wood!"
"Of course I know it's made of wood, but...how was it piled?"
"have no idea!"
The Yellowstone tribe has a large number of people and bronze weapons, so they can be said to be invincible on this continent.
Usually when they attack other tribes, they just need to surround them and start killing them. No one can prevent them from attacking.
But now this city wall makes them a little bit at a loss.
"Use bows and arrows to attack!" the leader of the Yellowstone tribe shouted.
You can't just look at it like this, right? So give it a try first.
The warriors of the Yellowstone tribe pointed the craftsman into the sky and threw it in two rounds. A large wooden shield as tall as a person stood on the wall opposite.
After the attack, the entire city wall was still silent.
If it weren't for the shields that were still moving around, the people of the Yellowstone tribe would have thought that there was no one inside.
But obviously, such a bow and arrow attack has no effect.
"Attack and push down their wooden wall!" The people of the Yellowstone tribe didn't believe it. Could such a wooden wall be able to block their army of so many people?
With an order, the people of the Huangshi tribe rushed forward. Naturally, there was no rules for such a charge.
But after rushing closer, the people at the front discovered that there were wooden stakes about the thickness of their thighs that were sharpened and pointed at an angle of 45° from the ground to the sky, just between their chests and abdomen.
The people behind couldn't see this. How could they suddenly stop while charging? Many people pushed the people in front and bumped into them.
The generals of the Tang Dynasty who were behind the wooden shields of the city wall couldn't hold back when they looked at them. These barbarians actually dared to bump into it themselves.
Several Yellowstone tribe warriors were disemboweled by the sharpened wooden stakes.
However, the Yellowstone tribe had a large number of people, and they still pushed forward desperately.
But the wooden spears they held under the city wall could just reach the top, but they could not penetrate the wooden shields.
The Mayans' spears were all newly made, each nearly three meters long, and they were thrust directly through the gaps in the wooden shields.
Some of the Yellowstone warriors without any armor were able to cut off these spears with their own bronze weapons.
But more often than not, he was stabbed to death on the ground by a spear.
Compared to the chaotic attack of the Yellowstone tribe, the Mayans only used the first Tang Dynasty language they learned - thorn, and just made mechanical movements.
When the generals of the Tang Dynasty shouted "Thrust", they thrust their spears out from the gaps in their shields.
No matter whether the thorn hits someone or not, it will be withdrawn immediately.
Then the next thrust came out again, it couldn't be easier.
