Chapter 69 Crow Tribe

In the eastern part of the grassland, the wind is biting and the snow is white.

There was not a trace of cloud in the blue sky, and the white sunshine was not very dazzling.

At this time, Jie was wearing leather armor and holding a fine iron horse spear, riding on a giant wolf, followed by fifty blood-contracted wolf riders.

Each wolf rider carries a bow and arrow on his back, holds a round shield in his left hand, and a long bone scimitar in his right hand, and runs forward on the back of the wolf.

Waves of white snow mist rolled up behind the team, which was quite impressive.

"Leader, which tribe are we going to this time?" A wolf rider came to Jie and asked.

Jie took out an animal skin map from his arms while controlling the giant wolf under him.

"What's the situation with the Huang Tribe, the Ming Tribe, and the Crow Tribe?" Jie pointed at the three locations on the map and asked.

The Wolf Rider on the side thought for a moment and responded, "These three tribes all have more than three to four hundred people, so they are not easy to deal with. Among them, the Crow tribe has more than six hundred people at most. They like to drive slaves to fight."

"The second is the Desert tribe, with about four to five hundred people. The number of tribal warriors is about one hundred. This tribe has a particularly large number of cattle and sheep."

"The Ming tribe has the smallest number of people, between 300 and 400 people. There are also more than 100 tribal warriors. This tribe has more horses."

"Is the news accurate?" Jie raised his head and asked.

"If we go back to collect it, the intelligence error of the scout team will be very small."

Jie smiled and nodded: "Okay, let the spearmen and archers behind you speed up. Today's goal is to capture the Crow Tribe."

As soon as the words fell, the entire team began to rush towards the Crow Tribe's position at full speed.

The scout team has been responsible for improving the grassland map. Currently, just in the eastern area of ​​the grassland, more than thirty tribes have been marked, and twenty-two of them have been planned to enter the trade route.

The rest of the tribes either have malicious intentions and cannot communicate with them, or they are in a bad location and are inconvenient for trade.

Therefore, this type of tribe will be marked with a cross on the map, which means that armed war can be launched against them.

And those tribes that exist on the trade road have all signed a check mark, indicating that they cannot launch armed war against them.

Therefore, Jie just selected three more suitable positions from those tribes marked with a cross for troop training.

Yes, it's military training.

If you want to train a powerful sharp knife team, the most important thing is to see blood.

Only the experience of blood can give a team the will to fight.

After these days of training, coupled with the influence of the blood contract, these soldiers have been able to control the black wolf perfectly, and they can also have a certain degree of tacit cooperation with each other.

Coupled with the advantages of the cavalry and the crushing weapons, there is actually not much risk even in actual combat.

That's why Jie chose to lead his troops out to fight and raise his troops.

The distance from Dragon City to Crow Tribe is about twenty miles. If you walk, it will take several hours to get there.

But even the archers and spearmen in the team brought out by Jie were riding in carriages, so it might only take one to two hours to reach their destination.

……

……

Time passed quickly, two hours passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, Jie and his team successfully arrived at a location two to three hundred meters away from the Crow Tribe.

He didn't let the team get any closer. This position was just right. If he got any closer, there would be a risk of being discovered.

A wolf rider observed the Crow Tribe for a while and found that many people on the other side were trembling and a little confused.

"Chief, they are wearing similar thick clothes as us, why are they so cold? They are too weak to withstand the cold."

"To be honest, I used to be afraid of the cold, but since I followed Leader Jie, I haven't felt how cold it is in winter." Another person interjected. "It seems true, leader, do you have any magical abilities like the patriarch?" someone in the team asked excitedly.

Jie glanced at a few people and said coldly: "Concentrate on me when we are fighting outside. Don't talk about what you have or what you don't have."

"Yes, yes, yes." A few people were frightened and quickly became more honest.

Jie stared ahead for a long time. The situation of the Crow Tribe should not be much different from the information given by the scout team, but the number of people on the other side who could be used in the battle was not clear yet.

After all, there are more than 600 people in the entire tribe. What if 400 of them can be sent out to fight?

So Jie still thought it would be safer to take a group of wolf riders for a circle and observe again.

"Take Ten Cavalry and follow me to observe the Crow Tribe a few times, and stay far away so as not to be exposed." Jie gave an order before turning over and riding on the wolf's back.

As soon as his legs were clamped, the giant wolf under his crotch began to gallop.

"Ow~"

"boom!"

Jie slapped the wolf on the face.

"Don't even scream!"

The black wolf under his crotch held it back in grievance, and at the same time reminded the other wolves behind him.

Jie led his team to carefully observe the Crow tribe three or four times, and finally discovered that there were quite a lot of male tribesmen plus slaves in the other tribe, estimated to be around three hundred people.

After leading the team back to the original place to join the previous team, Jie began to think of countermeasures.

"Leader, the other party does not have long-range means. What are we afraid of them doing?" A wolf cavalry couldn't help but said.

Jie nodded, and after pondering for a moment, he came up with a plan for the next attack.

"The archer team will stop a hundred meters away from the opponent. The shield spearmen will stay in front of the archer team and don't let the opponent get close to the archers."

"The archer's task is to constantly suppress the enemy's attacking team, and the shield spearman's task is to protect the archers."

"The Fifty Wolf Riders and I are roaming around. As long as the opponent dares to rush out, we will go around behind them to harvest for one round and then leave. Then we will turn around and continue to harvest. This will be repeated until the opponent's team collapses."

"Do you understand everything?"

"I understand!"

Jie nodded: "Let's move."

As soon as the words fell, fifty archers and fifty shield spearmen boarded the carriage.

Ten small carriages began to move slowly towards the direction of the Crow Tribe.

"The wolf cavalry is following me." Jie shouted, got on the black wolf and led the team around from the left.

The patrolling soldiers in the Crow Tribe also immediately discovered the clues ahead.

However, the moving carriages did not allow them to determine whether they were aggressive, so they did not alert others with great fanfare.

"Hey, you guys come over and see what we are doing." A strong man who seemed to be a small leader pointed at a few people and ordered.

"Yes." Several people dressed in animal skins held a simple stone hammer in their hands and began to walk out of the tribe and approach the row of carriages.

At the same time, hundreds of people poured out of the row of carriages in an instant! A few people were startled.

Whoosh whoosh—

The sound of breaking through the air instantly rang in my ears.

Before anyone could react, the sharp bone arrows were fired fiercely!
