Turbulent Times Chapter 1642: War Wu Chicken Bu

At the fork of two rivers fifty miles away from Bai Xiaobo and his party's warships, in the largest Wuman stockade, a burly, tanned Wuman brought a beautiful young girl who had not yet reproduced. The rooster clasped its wings, and then **** the little rooster's feet.

No matter how the little rooster struggled and howled, the Wuman brought the sharp knife closer to the little rooster, and then let out the blood neatly.

Until the little rooster's blood was drained and it remained motionless, the Wuman carefully plucked and dismembered the rooster.

The other parts of the little rooster were thrown into an iron pot by the Wuman and boiled, but the two chicken leg bones were carefully and completely removed by him, and cleaned...

Few Han people understand or know that chicken leg bones have a special status among Wuman and Baiman.

The status of this object in the barbarian culture in Sichuan and Shu is similar to that of the tortoise shell among the Han people. It is a necessary material for divination, and it is endowed with a magical color.

Wuman and Baiman villages and tribes will have man witches, and their status is detached. They are believed to have the ability to communicate with man gods, and they can also cure barbarians with strange things and medicinal materials.

In fact, in many cases, sick barbarians eat the weird so-called medicinal materials prescribed by barbarians, and then carry them hard. In this process, what plays a role in this process is actually the body's self-immunity and healing ability, but after carrying it, it will The medicine that was considered to be a wild witch played a role, and if he couldn't survive the illness and died, he was said to be disloyal to the wild **** and was punished by the wild god.

This Wuman warrior, as burly as an iron tower, is the patriarch of the Wuman tribe, named Wuji. At this time, he is giving someone else a freshly baked chicken leg bone with both hands.

At this time, the aloes were lit, and amidst the smoke, a witch appeared like a monster with bright feathers on his head and dyes on his face.

Muttering words in his mouth, he took the leg bone offered respectfully by Wuji, the patriarch of the Wuman tribe, tied the two chicken leg bones together with twine soaked in human blood, and then inserted bamboo poles where they were tied , and handed it to the patriarch Wuji, and asked the patriarch to hold the stile to pray and read after him.

The burly patriarch looked solemn, and immediately muttered something.

If Nie Xiaoyu was here, he would easily translate this barbaric language into Chinese. The specific content is:

"The left bone is Mannong, whoever is, and I am."

"The right bone is a barbarian, a human being, and it is also a matter of possession."

……

……

This is the chicken divination ceremony of the barbarians in Sichuan and Sichuan. As for the questions, there are many, and you can even ask about anything. How to find a cow and sheep, ask the mother-in-law to have a son or not a daughter, and so on.

It seems that their wild gods have to take care of everything, can take care of everything, and can even do it.

"Most of the warriors in the clan have already gone to attack the Far East Army. I don't know how many sons will not come back."

"I heard from the Han Chinese caravan in the tribe that the Far East Army was much stronger than the previous Sui Army, and much stronger than the current Liang State Army, although the information sent by Liang State said that there were only 1,000 people , and we sent a full two thousand warriors in the river we are good at, but if we want to kill the thousand Far East Army, at least four or five hundred of our two thousand people will die.

”

"Alas, four or five hundred people died. We Wuman people have no chance to stand up again. If we knew that the Liang people were so despicable and shameless and forced us to fight the Far East Army, it would be better to fight with them and then learn to be white." Barbarians, flee to the ancestral land deep in the mountains."

After the patriarch and the barbarian worshiped and prayed, they began to discuss and judge sensibly. Their deduction sounds correct, and they also attached great importance to this Far East Army, even surpassing the previous peace with the Sui Army. Liang Jun.

But I don't know why, the leader Wuji and the barbarian Wugui always feel uneasy, so they have this divination.

After the two of them talked about their prayers for a while, the witch and Wu Gui began to carefully observe all the small openings on the sides of the two chicken leg bones, inserting them with thin bamboo stiles that were more than an inch long, and then according to their inclinations, straightness, and deflection. Good or bad. It is said that there are thirty-six variations of this method. Generally speaking, the ones that are straight and upright or with the bones are auspicious, and the ones that are curved and oblique or far away from the bones are unlucky.

The barbarian Wugui fiddled with it for a long time, pointing at each hole, and answered the doubts of the patriarch Wuji.

"Two thousand sons are brave and good at fighting, and they will definitely kill that Far Eastern army."

"There will definitely be casualties. After all, it is the army of the legendary Qin An Poison King, but it will not exceed four hundred people."

"After this battle, you can tell Liang Guoren that we have killed or wounded a thousand people, and ask Liang Guoren for compensation. Although Liang Guoren will not pay them, they should not force us to fight for them anymore."

"The Far East Army has excellent weapons and weapons. This time, the sons and daughters will not come back empty-handed. With these weapons and equipment, our warriors will be even stronger than before."

All questions are auspicious omens, and the patriarch Wuji was relieved when he heard it.

But the peace of mind of the Wuji patriarch and the barbarian Wugui only lasted until the next morning, when they were smashed to pieces by the fifty warships of the Far East Army going upstream!

………

………

"General, the Wubarbarians are here!"

Bai Xiaobo walked out of the cabin of the building and saw a Dazhai surrounded by two intersecting small rivers and built on the hillside.

After a relaxed battle, they arrived here after half a day of sailing.

Although this is where the Great Village of the Wuman tribe is located, in Bai Xiaobo's eyes, this place is not much better than the wilderness.

Looking around, there are dense forests and deep mountains everywhere. On the far side of the river, he even saw giant crocodiles floating on the surface of the water. Dive back into the water and escape.

After all, this is already a branch of the Yangtze River. Although it is not much narrower than the Yellow River, another mother river in the north, warships must be extremely careful when navigating in this river, and have to work hard to avoid dangerous reefs.

No way, although the fifty ships brought by Bai Xiaobo are the smallest in the seal battalion, they are actually relatively speaking, at least in the eyes of the Wuman tribe, they are already huge.

When the fleet approached, Bai Xiaobo realized that although this place looks barbaric from a distance, it is quite different from a barren place when you look closely.

After all, the Wuman people have been living here for many years. Among other things, they have already started planting rice.

Although, it is still slash-and-slash farming, usually with two fires, one in spring and another in another place after autumn, when the trees turn into white ground, then pour water into it and mix it with plant ash,

It is good fertilizer.

Sow the seeds at will without intensive cultivation, and you can get a harvest. Although the yield per mu is not as high as that in the Central Plains, it can't stand the hot weather, and you can get two crops a year! Even so, it is far more grain than the fields carefully served by farmers north of the Yellow River.

So, the closer he got to Wuman Dazhai, the more Bai Xiaobo could see the rice fields on the flat ground near the river in the distance, as well as some round mud house yards besides Dazhai .

At this time, the Wuman people wearing kapok skirts and harvesting rice in the field saw a fleet as large as a hill coming, and stood in the field dumbfounded until they saw the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army on the warship. , then fled in a hurry, and started calling loudly...

"Although we killed about a thousand people yesterday, and there are still about a thousand prisoners on board, but the Wu barbarians can't see how many young and strong people are, and they don't see them using warships to fight against the enemy?" Bai Xiaobo Next to it, a councilor said with a puzzled look.

The other two councilors were also a little surprised. After all, they heard that the Wuman tribe had nearly ten thousand warriors, and they were famous for their large number of ships. After driving so far, why don't you see the Wuman people coming to fight?

But Bai Xiaobo knew why, and he didn't give any favors to his classmates and peers. He criticized sharply: "I remember telling you that every time the military intelligence office delivers information, don't just look at it in front of you." If it is useful to you, you have to read all the content in detail and keep it in your mind. If you do this, you will know that in the war between the Liang State and the Wuman people half a year ago, the Wuman people avoided the battle There are two methods. One is to bully Liang Jun who is not good at fighting in the mountains and forests and flee into the deep mountains and old forests. After harvesting, break into millet, and then flee with them. Otherwise, fishing, picking fruits and hunting alone will not be able to support the entire population. However, Liang Guo seized this point and sent troops to attack when the rice was ripe, forcing Wu The barbarians had to fight to the death for food, which caused more than half of the Wuman people to be killed and injured, and they were forced to submit to Liang Guo, which is why they sent 2,000 people to attack us."

The three counselors felt ashamed, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you for the general's teaching, I will definitely correct it in the future."

Bai Xiaobo didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning behind it was very clear. There were not many young and strong warriors of the Wuman people after yesterday's battle. If you fight a thousand people, half of them will be easily killed and half will be captured. Not even a single person escaped, so they don't know if their own side is defeated.

Bai Xiaobo stopped talking nonsense with a few counselors, pointed directly at the Dazhai in the distance, and ordered: "After arriving at the Dazhai, it will be divided into two rivers, so the order will be passed down, and the army will be divided into two at that time. , each go one way, but whenever they encounter villages and strongholds of the Wuman people, they will send soldiers to land and capture them, taking them old and weak, women and children. No matter whether they are old or weak prisoners, or young and strong, any who resist will be killed directly, and finally they will attack the Wuman people from left to right. Barbarian Dazhai, attack directly and annihilate the remaining warriors in one fell swoop! It's all done in one battle!"

This is Bai Xiaobo's plan. In this way, the Wuman tribe will be wiped out in one battle, because they are not on a boat, half of them can be killed and half can be captured.

This is on land, and their strength is limited after all. Otherwise, the Wuman could easily escape into the deep mountains and dense forests.
