"That being said, it is not impossible."
Shen Tang was quite moved when he heard this.
Some things still need to be resolved quickly.
After all, she was wandering around in someone else's territory. If she wasn't caught, it would be fine. If she was caught, she would be doomed. Just surrounding her would be enough to kill her in the Shiwu territory.
It should not be difficult for us to defeat such a large tribe of 4,000 people.
Xu Quan rested his chin on his hand and interjected.
"But we only have more than 2,000 people..."
Right from the start, they are targeting 4,000 people, right
It's not that he wants to destroy his own prestige, but he prefers to pick on the weak, make a good start, and boost morale.
Bai Su held a different opinion: "With more than 4,000 people, there must be old, weak, women and children, right? How can there be so many young and strong people who can really play a role? Why can't we attack?"
Xu Quan smiled and said, "You can't say that. This is not applicable to foreign tribes like Shiwu Beimo. Especially Shiwu, this place is even poorer than Beimo. Apart from various minerals, it lacks almost everything. I heard that ordinary elders in the tribe, women over 45 and men over 55, are sent to the mountains to starve to death, saving food for other young and strong people. The children in the tribe can fight as long as they can walk, and the women are also fierce."
The actual fighting capacity of a tribe of more than 4,000 people is definitely more than just a thousand.
It is easy to fail if you underestimate the enemy.
Furthermore—
Xian Yujian, who had been silent at the side, also added: "When I was in the sect, I heard from a fellow disciple who came back to visit his family that since the Ten Crows King's Court unified the tribes, a special garrison system has been implemented. Each tribe has sent warriors of varying strengths and numbers to guard the tribe according to their size, so we must not take it lightly."
Their current lineup is rather awkward.
There is no shortage of high-end combat power, but there is an urgent need for mid- and low-end capabilities.
The levels of the lower-level soldiers are uneven, and many of them are new recruits who have never seen blood since joining the army and lack experience.
Xian Yujian was also a little worried.
Shen Tang frowned and glanced at Jiang Sheng.
The latter nodded at her.
Shen Tang looked at Gu Chi again.
Gu Chi also gave his affirmation.
Shen Tang: “…”
Are the attributes of her subordinates reversed
The generals were very cautious, but their two aides were more reckless than the other and wanted to attack a tribe of 4,000 people right away.
She touched her face and weighed the pros and cons in her mind.
The decision was made immediately.
Tsk, damn it!
Before setting off, you must first rest enough.
Everyone left one after another, except Jiang Sheng and the other two who stayed. Shen Tang asked, "Do you have anything else to say to Xiandeng and Wangchao?"
Do we have to avoid Xian Yujian
This one—
It's not that they are deliberately avoiding each other, but what they are going to say next needs to go through Shen Tang.
Shen Tang muttered: "What's so mysterious?"
Gu Chi asked: "My lord, how do you plan to deal with the prisoners?" He was certain that he would win before the battle even started.
Shen Tang was puzzled: "Kill him, what else?"
Keep it for the New Year
Not to mention the KPI of 30,000 heads, even if there was no such indicator, she would not have planned to keep anyone alive. This was a war, and an attack deep into the enemy's lair with great risks. Was she just keeping the prisoners alive
These two uncles stayed here just to ask this question
The word "Buddha" is engraved on Shen Tang's face
Jiang Sheng knew at a glance that Shen Tang had not grasped the core, and reminded him: "With more than 4,000 people, there must be women, children, the elderly and the weak."
If we leave anyone alive, our whereabouts will be exposed.
That is to say—
Once they attack, any passing dog will be killed.
Shen Tang finally understood. He frowned tightly, and after a while, he relaxed his brows. He exhaled a breath, smiled bitterly, and said, "Anyone who holds a weapon is an enemy..."
War has always been cruel.
There is no room for "kindness" in this situation.
Think more about the fate of Longwu County...
Shen Tang forced himself to recall the tragedies he had heard and seen since entering Longwu County, and calmed himself down.
As the governor of Longwu County, it was her job to protect the common people under her rule. Sympathizing with the lower-class common people of Shiwu was something she should consider only when she had enough power to intimidate or even subdue Shiwu. Now she was not qualified. Sympathizing with the ambitious and bloodthirsty enemy at this moment would only bring misfortune.
Gu Chi and the others heard a satisfactory answer, then bowed and left, leaving Shen Tang alone to look at the pieced-together Ten Wubu defense map to adjust his mood. After walking for a while, Jiang Sheng suddenly sighed: "My lord is too soft-hearted..."
Gu Chi nodded in agreement.
Although her master also has a cold side, it is mostly when facing "evil people". At such times, she never hesitates to use ruthless means. Once she faces the weak, such as the common people who are suffering, she will become particularly soft-hearted.
Jiang Sheng said: "I was born into the wrong world."
If it were a prosperous era, he had no doubt that Shen Tang would become an honest and wise official, and perhaps even a good official praised by the common people, and worshipped by people. But in this world, he had to go against his will and pick up the butcher knife.
Gu Chi disagreed.
He asked in return: “Why not at the right time?”
Our lord has many secrets.
I am soft-hearted, but I don't hesitate to be tough when I need to.
Being able to do this is already a relief.
Gu Chi teased in an insincere way: "Besides, when a scholar follows his master, the most basic requirement for him is that he must be a living person who can breathe, right?"
Jiang Sheng: “…Are you serious?”
Gu Chi nodded cheekily: "Yeah."
Jiang Sheng: “…”
His colleagues...
There is something wrong with the brain to some extent.
Shen Tang was resting comfortably, but Su Shiyilu, who had escaped earlier, was not so relaxed. Thanks to Shen Tang's "righteousness" to cover his retreat, he fled to the nearest trusted tribe in a miserable state. When he arrived, he was unconscious.
Relying on his courage and good physique, the warrior woke up after sleeping for several hours and immediately called the tribal soldiers back.
Be sure to arrive before the evidence is destroyed.
The tribe's armed garrison was from Su Shiyilu's faction, and they immediately mobilized enough troops to follow them, arriving before dark. The original camp had been burned to ashes, leaving only a dark scorched earth, and the air was filled with a strange burnt smell.
"General, there are no survivors."
After searching for a long time, not only were there no survivors, but even a complete body. Except for the bodies on the edge of the camp, most of the bodies near the center of the fire were burned clean. The winds were strong in Shiwu, and most of the ashes had been blown away, so there was no way to find them.
However, it was not without gain.
They dug up several "surviving" bodies from the deep pit that Su Shiyilu had dug during the fight. They were relatively well preserved, and after careful inspection, they actually found some important clues. The bodies had different patterns on their armpits and thighs.
Which faction should it belong to
The pattern was copied over and Su Shiyilu took a look.
He immediately sneered.
Regardless of the wounds that had not yet healed, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's really these bastards..."
Then he asked, "Have you found the princess of King Geng?"
"We did find several female corpses that matched Wang Ji's age and figure a few miles away, but without exception, they were either beheaded or had faces that were completely disfigured, and it was impossible to tell which one was which..."
"Never mind. It doesn't matter."
Su Shiyilu waved his hands, his heart filled with anger. He would make those bastards pay for this loss.
