Age of mythical princes

Chapter 34 Savages Are Not Worthy of Rituals?
"Doctor, you have come from a long way. The conditions in the countryside are simple, and there is no good gift for you. I have thought about it for a long time, my villain, and I have prepared a hundred shi of grain and three hundred animal skins. I hope to accept it."

After speaking, there was no reply.The speaker did not dare to raise his head, but lowered his head lower to show his sincerity.

The speaker was dressed in animal skins and was holding a lamb in his hand. He knelt on one knee, his head almost touching the ground, motionless.He is a village chief and a savage.

Sun Qing looked at the village in the distance, and after carefully looking at it for a long time, he said: "Although you are a savage, this village is well run. But, do you know where the biggest problem of these savage villages is?"

The village chief didn't dare to raise his head, and asked in a low voice, "Please ask the doctor for advice."

Sun Qing picked up the horsewhip in his hand, and lashed at the village chief. A bloodstain was visible to the naked eye on the village chief's back.

"Of course it's because you don't pay taxes to the monarch!"

"Without paying taxes there is no protection, and you are not protected."

"Every villain is short-sighted. He only thought that he could not pay taxes when he came to such a village, but he never thought that if he didn't pay taxes, he would have no protection. Without protection, even if he died suddenly, who would care?"

Hearing this, the village chief buried his head in the soil and said nothing.

Looking at the village head's appearance, Sun Qing sighed, and lost the idea of ​​continuing to toss: it's boring.

"Remote savages colluded with Taoists and tried to assassinate me. Fortunately, this doctor is alert..."

Hearing this, the village head finally responded: "Doctor, doctor!"

"We are willing to give up all our wealth, just to save one's life!"

"Really?"

While speaking, another whip fell on his back, and a bloodstain appeared.

"real!
"Then how much wealth is there in your village?"

The village chief panted heavily, and after a long time said bitterly: "We are willing to surrender to the doctor from now on and become the people of the doctor. This time, we are willing to hand over to the doctor a thousand stones of grain, ten thousand bone arrows, and thirty pieces of leather armor. vice……"

"Not enough, I need three hundred men and one hundred women."

"doctor!"

"Huh? You don't want to? It's fine if you don't want to." Sun Qing said casually.

"I am willing! I am willing! It is an honor for a villain to be a subject of a doctor. How can I not want to?"

After kowtowing, the village head looked like a walking dead, looking back in despair, maybe he was thinking about how to mobilize these resources.It's a pity that Sun Qing lost his patience, he didn't even want to pretend.

Sun Qing waved his hand, and several guards directly attacked. The village chief was still kneeling on the ground, with several swords stuck in his body.

"Why? I have clearly agreed, because..."

"Anyway, when you are all dead, all the wealth will be mine. What's more, if you don't die, how can the army get rich? If the army doesn't get rich, how can it attract more people to join the army? There are no more troops. With Yang Cheng's power, when will this old man take revenge?" Sun Qing thought silently.

After killing the village chief, several bodyguards dragged the body away, and several other bodyguards started washing the ground with basins.There were also a few personal guards who lit a sandalwood directly. After a while, the scene was cleaned up, and the fragrance filled the air. It was as if nothing had happened.

"Give me an order to destroy this village and keep the swords open for a day."

After the military order was passed down, the morale of the soldiers was immediately boosted.The army also began to mobilize, and the soldiers became more active one by one, especially the elderly veterans, whose eyes were shining brightly at this moment, each of them looked like wild wolves, and their humanity gradually disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Sun Qing nodded with satisfaction: "Our ancestors once said that the best way to inspire soldiers' fighting spirit is land and women."

"This is just a deserted village in the wild, a small village made up of savages. Over the years, it has gradually grown and grown by not paying taxes. How can this work? In Chaoguo, neither the king nor the nobles pay taxes. , is there any etiquette?"

"This is not even talking about the rituals of the week. If you don't talk about the rituals of the week, then you are not a Zhou person, but a barbarian. You said, do you still need to talk about etiquette when dealing with barbarians?"

The butler smiled and echoed: "The doctor is right, but they are just a bunch of barbarians, they are not human, so there is no need to talk to them about etiquette."

The etiquette and rules in Zhouli are relatively perfect.If the rituals of the week are completely followed, then most ordinary people can live well.But it is a pity that most people are not considered human beings according to the Zhou etiquette regulations, and can only enjoy barbarian treatment.

Just as Sun Qing was intoxicated, Jiang Hua, Changkong Taoist and members of the Taoism team had arrived on the nearby barren hill.

The members of this team are all warlocks who have comprehended at least one true meaning of the five elements. The captain of the team is a veteran warlock who has comprehended several kinds of true meanings of the five elements, and the leader is the Taoist Changkong Taoist.

Each Taoism team has distinctive characteristics.Some teams are good at targeting individuals, hunting masters, killing Taoists with warlocks, and killing big monsters with warlocks.Some squads are good at cooperating to cast large-scale spells, and they like to encounter the army the most.When the army was unprepared, a large-scale spell rushed to wash the ground, it was so sour!There are also teams that are good at earth-moving spells, and they can cast spells together, which can directly change the terrain...

Therefore, the staffing of these Taoist teams is often fixed.Suddenly a newcomer came, everyone was very curious.However, the time was too short, so no one asked who Jiang Hua was.

Hiding on the mountain and looking down at the army, these troops are in groups of three or five, often in small groups of five or ten, and the formation is relatively loose and not organized at all. Jiang Hua subconsciously sent his own questions to Taoist Changkong in his heart.

"Too dense formation is the way to death."

"The lethality of a spell is not only related to the spell itself, but also has a lot to do with the surrounding environment. The same fireball spell may only kill two or three people in such a loose formation. And if it is a dense formation There is not much room for 1000 people crowded together. At that time, a fireball exploded in the middle of the crowd, and it could even directly kill 30 to [-] people, injure hundreds of people, and demoralize the entire thousand-man army.”

"It's the same when hunting monsters. Sometimes the monsters activate their bloodlines to display their supernatural powers before they die. If the formation is too dense, the casualties will be very serious. Slowly, everyone canceled the dense formation."

"Of course, we are actually talking about wars on paper. Chao country has been peaceful for 800 years. Ever since Senior Tianyan came to Chao country, Chao country has maintained peace for a long time. There has been no large-scale turmoil or war. Over the years, it has been occasional at best. Siege the demons."

"So, everyone is a novice in this battle. The competition is who makes fewer mistakes and who sums up experience faster. Next, you have to watch more, learn more, and think more."
