Chapter 43 Ready to go

"Sheep kidneys are a good thing for men to keep fit and refresh themselves." Qin Yu explained casually with a smile.

When everyone heard this, they all picked up the roasted sizzling and oily kidneys and took a bite in their mouths.

There are not many seasonings. Before baking, I just soaked it in red ginger water for a while to remove some of the fishy smell. Then I baked it on a stone slab. When it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, I sprinkled some coarse salt on it.

It tastes crispy, tender and fragrant, and there is a lingering aftertaste in your mouth after swallowing.

This is what everyone thinks after tasting it.

Qin Yu didn't have such a big reaction. After all, the lack of spices such as chili powder, cumin powder and garlic is equivalent to the loss of a lot of souls.

However, everyone in the audience looked satisfied after eating. They had never thought that the food could be so delicious.

You must know that today's primitive people still have the experience and habit of eating hair and drinking blood. For them, food is just to provide energy for the body to survive.

I never thought this was a delicious food that would make people enjoy it.

The roasted venison cut into cubes is fresh and flavourful, while the pan-fried venison cut into thin slices is tender and savory.

The steamed grain cake is soft and fragrant, while the hot goat milk is mellow and slightly sweet.

The boiled lamb chops and stewed leg meat are also tender, juicy and have endless aftertaste.

After the meal, Qin Yu started to talk about business.

"Master Li, the people in this room are all leaders of our dragon tribe. We should get familiar with each other's teams and leaders on both sides of the defense."

Li nodded and said: "Chief Long has thought carefully."

In the following time, Li, Jiang Li, Ya, You Ming, Jie, and Xiaoyu all got to know each other.

The hundred soldiers brought by Li were all wearing animal skins and holding stone knives. Their equipment did not look very good, but they had very high combat experience. They were all elite soldiers and veterans.

Jiang Li led forty shield and ax soldiers.

You Ming has seventy-five soldiers equipped with stone spears and throwing spears.

Under Jie's command were seventy-five spearmen.

There are hundreds of archers under Ya's command.

The twenty scouts under Xiaoyu's command have the advantage of being agile and quick, and can quickly convey the battle situation on the battlefield.

After understanding the strengths and weaknesses of their respective armies, everyone began to discuss defense issues.

"The enemy will definitely attack the west and south walls, so the main force should be placed in the southwest." You Ming suggested.

"Agree."

"Agree."

The others nodded.

"Although the enemy will give priority to attacking the city walls close to them, it is not ruled out that they may go around and attack weakly defended areas. Therefore, the number of people stationed on the east and north city walls cannot be too small."

Qin Yu rubbed his chin with his right hand. After thinking for a moment, he continued: "Master Li, the team you led this time is the most flexible. Why not divide fifty people to guard the east and north city walls, two on each wall?" Fifteen people.”

Li thought for a moment and then nodded and said, "No problem."

The east and north city walls are actually the most secure, so Li happily agreed, which to a certain extent could avoid the loss of his team.

"Secondly, forty archers will be arranged there to assist in the defense, and Xiaoyu will be in charge. Remember, your main purpose is to defend and prevent the enemy from attacking."

"Yes, clan leader!" Xiaoyu bowed his hands.

Qin Yu nodded slightly and began to allocate the defensive troops to the other two walls.

The south side must be the enemy's main attack direction, while the west side should be slightly weaker. The Dragon Tribe's army numbered about three hundred. Counting the 100 people supported by the Panshan Tribe this time, the total number was 400.

Judging from Qin Yu's understanding of the surrounding tribes, this time it is definitely a wealthy battle, and the number of people cannot be too different, unless they send old ladies and old men to fight.

The Dragon Tribe was not weak in terms of numbers, weapons, elites, and morale, so Qin Yu was not too worried about this battle.

But he did not lack due caution.

"Jiang Li, You Ming, you two are responsible for guarding the south gate."

"In addition to your respective teams, plus thirty archers, a total of more than one hundred and forty people must guard the southern city wall for me."

"Jiang Li and You Ming take orders!"

Qin Yu nodded and continued: "Ya, Jie, you two are responsible for the west gate of the outer city. The pressure should be less. Remember that the purpose is defense. No one should rush out of the city without my order."

"Ya, Jie, take the order!" the two said in unison.

Qin Yu looked at Li Dao again: "Master Li, your team is more flexible. Just patrol back and forth on the south and west walls. Once you encounter an incoming enemy, you can immediately kill them on the spot without deliberately leaving prisoners. "

Li nodded: "I understand."

"Xiaoyu's scouts should stay in the inner city. One will serve as a guard for me, and the other will serve as a messenger."

"Each city wall has a smoke tower built at my command, with dung and hay on top. Once the enemies on that wall are too fierce and the defense becomes difficult, light up the smoke immediately, and I will adjust the troops appropriately to go to support."

"Send two scouts to each city wall and report the battle situation to the inner city meeting hall every once in a while. If necessary, you can drive a carriage, which is faster."

Qin Yu explained various matters to pay attention to one by one.

Everyone nodded one after another to express their understanding.

The preparations this time are very sufficient. Once a battle breaks out, the ethnic slaves in the outer city will be summoned into the inner city.

Once the outer city wall is lost, the army can retreat to the inner city.

What's more, Qin Yu also made another preparation, a militia of a hundred people.

This is an emergency militia formed by some male tribesmen slaves and stronger female tribesmen or slaves who gathered together and trained for several days in the tribe.

Whenever there is a crisis, Qin Yu will issue weapons to prepare for emergencies, which may be able to save the situation.

……

……

In the following two days, the Dragon Tribe was heavily guarded. The remaining arrow towers and wooden platforms were also completed, and the slaves in the tribe had stopped going out.

Now the population of the Dragon Tribe, including the slaves traded with the Panshan Tribe last time, has exceeded 600.

In addition to the hundred-man team Li came to support, how much food would seven hundred people consume in a day?

At least about a thousand pounds!

Since Qin Yu came to the present, he has led the Dragon tribe to plunder and trade, and the food he has saved so far is only enough for about ten days.

Of course, there are many cattle, sheep and horses in the north area of ​​the city. If there is a lack of food, cattle and sheep can be killed.

It's just that Qin Yu was reluctant to give up any of them. Horses were as valuable as gold and were indispensable for training cavalry.

As for oxen, they would be the most capable men in the development of the farming era in the future, and Qin Yu was reluctant to part with them.

The sheep arrived fine, but the collected wool was also really warm.
