"The catapult fires canisters of fire oil to warm them up!"
Xu Laosan didn't even think about it, he just had the fire oil cans fired, igniting a raging flame in the wilderness.
However, what stunned everyone was that the savages who were not dead actually grabbed the roasted corpses of their own people, biting and devouring them.
Cannibalism!
In many people's minds, this is just a statement, and they don't actually believe it in their hearts.
But now, all of this was discovered vividly before their eyes.
Many people vomited directly.
Xu Laosan also vomited!
Even though his father, Mr. Xu, and his second brother repeatedly emphasized to him the ferocity of these savages, Mr. Xu still vomited at this moment.
Compared with other people, Xu Laosan is no better than others.
However, when the savages who had had a good meal started to charge again, everyone including Xu Laosan immediately entered a fighting state, no matter how violently they vomited.
After witnessing the ferocity of the savages who preyed on humans, the people on the battlefield knew that they could not let these savages attack, otherwise, they and their relatives might be eaten by these savages.
Savages are very ferocious, especially well-fed ones.
They ignored the ten-foot-wide trench in front of them and leaped directly into the air.
Someone fell into a deep pit and was half dead.
Some people successfully jumped over the ten-foot-wide trench, but they soon fell to the edge of the trench or fell under the trench under the fire of crossbow arrows.
The battle was fierce.
The savages were eventually wiped out. Even the savages who fell into the ditch were killed with crossbows one by one. Only then did some enter the ditch, behead them and collect their bodies.
To deal with the savages, Xu Laosan's orders were not even needed. Everyone reached a consensus silently, that is, no prisoners should be taken and no survivors should be left alive.
Savages like this that feed on humans are not worthy of being called humans at all, they are just beasts.
When dealing with wild animals, it is natural to kill them all.
All adults understand the consequences of raising tigers.
All the savages who had raided Haoguan had been wiped out, a total of 2,328 people.
After Xu Laoer and Fubao discovered the fierce flames rising from Haoguan, they led their troops to the rescue.
However, marching in the snow couldn't go any faster. In addition, in order to guard against sneak attacks by lurking savages, Xu Laoer and the others really couldn't go any faster.
By the time Xu Laoer led his troops to Haoguan, the battle behind Haoguan had completely come to an end.
When Xu Laosan saw his second brother and younger sister, his expression was really pitiful.
"Third brother, why are you looking like this?"
Fu Bao looked at his third brother's expression. Instead of feeling sorry for him, he actually wanted to punch his third brother in the face.
"Little sister, you haven't seen that those savages tore their companions apart and ate them right on the battlefield, vomit..."
Xu Laosan only said a few words before he vomited again.
"Third brother, you..."
Fu Bao almost vomited when he smelled the sour smell in the air.
Fubao had also seen the scene of savages eating their companions. That's not what happens on the battlefield, it's what happens in the wilderness.
To be precise, these savages chose cannibalism in order to survive.
This discovery made Fubao feel that the savage team only contained young men and women, but not the old, weak, women and children. This may be because in the absence of food, the old, weak, women and children had been eaten by these young and strong savages as food.
Of course, this is all just speculation.
Xu Lao San vomited for a while, until nothing could come out. Then he drank water and rinsed his mouth, and sat down in front of Xu Lao Er and Fu Bao again.
"Second brother, what about that? Since you have come back, I leave this place to you. I have to go back to Lin? City!"
The battlefield is indeed not suitable for me.
Xu Laosan felt that he should be a little self-aware and go back to do his own logistics.
Otherwise, he was really afraid that he would vomit to death before the savages were killed.
"Lao San, you can't stand it anymore?"
Xu Lao Er looked at his younger brother and saw through Xu Lao San's thoughts at a glance.
I have to say that when these brothers get along with each other, sometimes they really don't need too many words and expressions to know each other's thoughts. After all, they are so familiar.
Xu Laosan rolled his eyes and said: "Second brother, I really can't bear it. You don't know that whenever I have some free time now, scenes on the battlefield will pop up in my head! Ugh... "
Unfortunately, Xu Laosan just wanted to vomit, but there was really nothing left in his stomach to vomit.
Xu Lao Er chuckled and said: "Lao San, you'd better hold on!"
"Our father and eldest brother are still waiting for me to provide support!"
"Also, I think these savages will definitely come again. I'm thinking, you have to take the initiative to send some signals to the savages!"
"What's the signal? These savages have all been killed. Even if they haven't been killed, no one can understand what they are talking about."
Language barrier!
The language of the polar savages is a system of its own. It is incompatible with the language of the northern barbarians and also with the language of the northern savages.
Not to mention that no one in the Tang Dynasty could understand what the polar savages were saying. Even among the northern barbarians, no one could understand what the polar savages were calling out.
"Easy, set fire!"
Xu Laoer chuckled, "When I came back, I passed by Haoguan and took a special look. Although Haoguan was burned down, there were five special piles of ashes left on the city wall of Haoguan."
"So, I guess these savages are using this method to convey news to their tribesmen."
"Okay, I'll let someone give it a try!"
Xu Lao San got Xu Lao Er's advice and hurriedly went to find someone to light five fires, and then put half-dried firewood on them. The fires were suddenly half extinguished, and thick smoke rose into the sky.
Five smoke pillars rose into the sky, and they could be seen clearly from a distance.
No one knows whether this is the way of transmitting signals between savages. Everything is just speculation, waiting for verification.
…
This night, it was very quiet.
But when dawn came, the scouts lurking in Haoguan hurried back, and the large group of savages were slowly coming towards Haoguan.
"Second brother, you really must have been fooled!"
Hearing the scout's report, Xu Laosan looked at his second brother in astonishment. He really didn't expect that his second brother could guess it right right away.
"What are you talking about? Who told you that I was deceived?"
When Xu Lao Er heard Xu Lao San's words, he glared directly, "What I call cautious observation, bold guesses, and reasonable inferences. This is wisdom!"
"Yes, yes, second brother, you are right!"
Under the principle of winner takes all, Xu Laosan could not find a reason to refute any of Xu Laoer's words. (End of chapter)
