Chapter 590: Attacking the Lanya clan

Just as he was watching, Galdie came out of the valley on his horse and jumped off the horse and saluted.

During this period of time, Galdi had to report to him routinely about the Boyan tribe at this time. Zhang Haotian said immediately: "Gardi, what's going on today?"

Gardi immediately said, "There is a prince, didn't you tell me to observe the distribution of the various tribes of the Boyan tribe outside Badatota City, and draw a picture? My people have collected and drawn it."

Zhang Haotian was happy and said, "Oh, so fast, okay, where is this picture?"

Galdi said: "It's in my arms."

While speaking, he took out a rolled sheepskin from his leather robe. Seeing that there was a big stone next to him was very smooth, he walked over and opened it and placed it on it.

Zhang Haotian walked to the big rock and squatted down. He looked at the map carefully. He saw a city in the middle, which was naturally Badatota City, and there were some red circles around it, just like stars surrounding the moon. In the red circle, there were some words indicating what tribe this is in the Boyan tribe, how many people there are currently, and among these people, there are many old and young women and warriors, all of which are clearly written.

After reading it, he roughly calculated in his mind that eight tribes of the current eighteen tribes of the Boyan tribe entered Badatota City, with a total of about 10,000 people, while the ten tribes outside had a total of nearly 13,000 people. However, due to the attack on the Morgen tribe and the bloody battle between the Mamu Valley twice, especially the last time, it was said that there were heavy casualties and injuries. There were not many young and middle-aged soldiers who could be used for the main battle, and there were still more than 8,000 left.

Gardi is the wisest of the six major maps of the Tatarot tribe. Looking at Zhang Haotian's expression and guessing his meaning, he said: "Prince, do you think we are still slightly worse than the Boyan tribe and cannot take the initiative to attack?"

Zhang Haotian nodded and said, "There are still 7,000 people in the Mamu Valley, among which there are more than 6,000 soldiers. Although the proportion is high and the fighting spirit is not comparable to that of the Boyan tribe, it is not as large as that of the Boyan tribe. Moreover, once the battle reaches the end, Aldun can mobilize young and middle-aged women and old men to participate in the war. If we fight hard, our chances of winning are not high."

Galdi said "um" and said, "Not only is our number not as large as the Boyan tribe, but the walls of Badatota City are more than 20 meters high. The city gates are made of fine steel. It is indeed difficult to attack. Prince, do you still want to defeat each one and gradually encroach on it?"

Zhang Haotian nodded again and said, "This is the best way to weaken the enemy, but it seems that Aldun Leng is already prepared and has contracted the eighteen tribes together. In addition, spies will definitely be sent to investigate, so our people cannot get close to them at all."

But Galdi immediately said: "No, prince, there is at least one clan, we can destroy it."

When Zhang Haotian heard this, he looked at him and said, "Oh, it's that clan."

Gardi pointed his finger at a red circle in the southwest corner of Badatota City on the map and said, "It's this."

Zhang Haotian followed his fingers and saw that the red circle was indeed the farthest from Badatota City, but there were two red circles next to it, forming a triangle, and the farthest red circle suddenly wrote the Lanya tribe.

Gardi continued: "The Lanya tribe is about thirty kilometers away from Badatota City. I heard that Aldunlei was angry that the Lanya tribe asked you to escape, which brought the Tatarot tribe back to life and posed a threat to him as it is now. Therefore, I gave them the worst piece of land near Badatota City. There are very few flat places there, and there are swamps in the east and west. Only in the south can you enter. Even if you grazed, you have to walk four or five kilometers west to have enough grass."

Zhang Haotian's eyes flashed and he said, "You mean, if we attack the Lanya tribe, the rest of the Boyan tribe will not be able to reinforce."

Galdi nodded and said, "The East of the Lanya people is the Zakpong people and the West is the Gal people. Although they are only about five kilometers apart, these five kilometers are all swamps, and they cannot be rescued in time when things happen."

Zhang Haotian looked at the topographic map and pondered: "Even if the three sides of the Lanya tribe are swamps and cannot be rescued in time, such terrain is not without benefits. Even if the swamp is frozen in winter, the ice layer is very thin and cannot bear the weight of people. They only need to concentrate their efforts to defend the south. We cannot invade in a short time. Reinforcements from all sides of the Boyan tribe will circle around and intercept from behind us to form a siege. Aldun is not a fool. He has not considered it when he puts the Lanya tribe here."

Galdi said: "The Lanya tribe also suffered losses in several battles. Their total number is less than 400. Nowadays, there are at most more than 200 soldiers who can fight. If a surprise attack is launched, it is very likely that they will be solved."

Zhang Haotian certainly understood that although the number of Lanya tribe is not large, even if it is destroyed, it cannot hurt Aldun's vitality. However, destroying a clan near Badatota City will deter the psychology of the entire Boyan tribe, which is really good for the future war. He and Zhou Xueman are rescued by Has Qiqige, the daughter of the leader of the Lanya tribe. However, Su He wanted to capture him first, and then he wanted to present Zhou Xueman to Aldun. Although Zhou Xueman escaped, there was no news, and it was undoubtedly a life-threatening life. The pain of bone-eroding when he thought of him made him resentful to the Lanya tribe.

Listening to Galdi's tone, he immediately said, "Gardi, do you have any good ideas?"

Galdi said: "I have an idea, and it should be feasible. Prince, you may not know yet that our family did not live in Badatota City in the past, but was responsible for grazing outside the city, so we were able to escape from that catastrophe. I am very familiar with the location of the Lanya tribe. There is a way to pass through the swamp in winter to reach their campsite.

Zhang Haotian was immediately delighted and said, "Okay, what's the solution? Tell me quickly."

Galdi said: "The ice of the swamp in winter is indeed very thin and cannot bear the weight of a person. However, once I accidentally entered the swamp and almost died. Later, my grandfather told me a way to pass the swamp."

Speaking of this, he did not keep it in the air and continued: "My grandfather said that if you want to pass the swamp, you can use thin wood chips to make a mud pulley. The smoother the padding, the better. Moreover, the two wings should be at least one meter. People lie in the middle and slide forward with a snow pole. Using this method, let alone the ice layer on the swamp, even if there is no ice, ordinary floating mud can slide past. However, it is easy to get into trouble when encountering places with deep and low mud. This method was used by the Tatarot tribe who lived by the swamp hundreds of years ago when they encountered food shortages in the winter. They really had no choice but to catch small animals such as otters and frogs in the swamp. Later, everyone never encountered the situation where there was no food in winter, so no one took the risk of doing this."

Zhang Haotian pondered: "Even if he made such a rig, there were many spies from the Boyan tribe. If we go there, we are afraid that it will be easy to find."

Galdi laughed and said, "I'm here to tell you about this now, I'm afraid I'm not sure. Prince, I have asked someone to carefully observe the patrol situation of the Boyan tribe in the southwest. I know when they will come out and where they pass by. The Boyan tribe's people can kill our spies before attacking the Mamu Valley. Can't we kill their spies quietly? Now there are more people in the Boyan tribe than us. It's a bit like we can eat a little, which makes Aldun Leng and the Boyan tribe have been frightened and restless, which can be considered a vent of anger."

Gardi is a very experienced and calm person, so Uenqi promoted him to do four major maps to spy on intelligence. Since he was so sure, how could Zhang Haotian object? He immediately said: "Okay, Gardi, you are responsible for this matter. You can do as much as possible. Make the mud pulley you mentioned as soon as possible and then act."

Galdi had everything considered before reporting to Zhang Haotian. He nodded and said, "Prince, I think only three hundred people are needed for this attack. This mud trolley is not complicated. You can transfer 500 people to me. Within three days, I promise to make 300 people."

Zhang Haotian agreed and loudly ordered some of the Tatarot tribes who were practicing swords to stop and pulled five hundred people to Galdhi. Galdhi did not delay and soon took the five hundred people away to go to nearby hills to cut down trees suitable for mud pulleys.

Two days later, it was sunny.

It was almost evening, and Galdy invited Zhang Haotian to the edge of Geriletu Lake.

The two of them walked side by side, led by Galdi, and soon arrived at the northeast side of Geriletu Lake. There was a large swamp here. At this time, under the setting sun, it emitted a dazzling light. Through the ice layer, you could see the dead grass below, and cracks could be seen from time to time on the ice layer, which indicated that the ice surface was very thin and would completely melt in a short while.

Next to the swamp, there were more than a dozen Tatarot soldiers, holding two short staffs only twenty or thirty centimeters long and wide at the front, somewhat like hand-shaped. Under them, there was a kite-like thing, made of thin wood pieces, spreading their wings, and the bottom was arc-shaped, polished very smoothly.

Zhang Haotian knew that this was what Galdie said about the mud pulley that could walk on the swamp. He didn't say much and waved his hand and said, "You guys try it quickly, can you do it?"

Hearing Zhang Haotian's order, the dozen Tatarot soldiers placed the mud trolley on the thin ice and then carefully lay on. With Gaardi's order, he supported it with two short hand-shaped sticks, and the mud trolley moved forward. As the soldiers increased their strength, the speed became faster and faster, and it was almost the same as the running speed of an ordinary adult man.

Galdy pointed to the far away pulley lanes: "The faster this thing is, the lighter the force below, so it is best to have ice. Prince. During this period, the sun will appear every day, and the ice layer will soon melt. We should act as soon as possible."

Zhang Haotian nodded and said, "When will the three hundred mud pulleys be done?"

Galdi said: "I have ordered people to make the production overnight and it will be completed by noon tomorrow at the latest."

Zhang Haotian said "Yes", "Okay, we will act tomorrow night, Galdi, before the action, you send someone out to kill all the spies from the Boyan tribe in this regard."

Galdi said: "Prince, don't worry. I have arranged the manpower and there will be no problem. It's just that the spies from the Boyan tribe should go back and report regularly like us, so our actions should be finished within two hours."

Zhang Haotian said: "It won't take too much time to select 300 elite troops to attack the Lanya tribe, and I will go tomorrow."

Hearing Zhang Haotian say this, Gald was stunned and quickly said, "Prince, with the mud pulley, although the risk of this operation is not too great, it is somewhat dangerous. You have a noble status and don't need to go this trip in person, just leave it all to me."

Zhang Haotian shook his head and said, "There is a life-saving benefactor among the Lanya people, and that cannot be hurt, so I must go there in person to ensure that it will not hurt her at all."

Galdi said again: "Who is this person? Tell me, I will order not to hurt her."

Zhang Haotian understood the character of his subordinates very well and said, "She is Has Qiqige, and she is the daughter of Su He, the leader of the Lanya tribe. Once the Lanya tribe finds out that our people, they will definitely resist. The soldiers can easily kill the red eyes and cannot control it, so this trip must be done."

Of course, Galdi knew that once the Lanya people resisted fiercely, the soldiers would most likely lose control and launch a massacre in the dark. Even if they killed Has Qiqige, no one would know who was the one who attacked them. Zhang Haotian could not even punish him."

So he had to nod and said, "The prince has made a decision, and I don't want to object anymore. So I'll transfer one hundred more people to go, which is safer."

Zhang Haotian smiled and shook his head and said, "No, the three hundred elites are more than enough to deal with the Lanya tribe. However, in order to be more secure, Idler and Haninohai can lead 1,000 people to the East and West to avoid the Zachpong tribe and the Gal tribe in case of receiving information to help."

After hearing Zhang Haotian's arrangement, Galdi finally felt relieved and discussed the details of the attack tomorrow night with him. Finally, he decided that since the Lanya tribe was not the main force of the Boyan tribe, it was just a spike under the big tree, this action was called "Spike Pull Operation".

The next day, after dinner in the evening, the "Thorn-pulling Operation" began. According to Zhang Haotian's plan, he and Galdy led three hundred elite soldiers, mainly composed of Black Hawk warriors, so that the target would not be too big when entering the swamp. Idler and Haninohai set out forty minutes later and lay on the east and west wings of the swamp. As long as the Lanya people can be dealt with as soon as possible, they will evacuate before a large number of reinforcements from Badatota City arrives, the operation is indeed not very dangerous.

Zhang Haotian, Galdi and his guard chief Qi Rimai led the three hundred soldiers out of the Mamu Valley and quickly disappeared into the darkness. Although Aruna and the six major maps were still opposed before departure, Zhang Haotian still insisted on going in person. In fact, he was not unaware that he was the soul of the Tatarot tribe. Everyone in the valley needed to lead the way to the future. It was the wisest way to try not to take risks. However, the real man clearly had a grudge. Has Qiqige saved him twice, once in the mud, and once in the escape. This little girl, he would never allow anyone to hurt. Even as a reward, he could also exempt all her family members, including Su He, from the death of her family. However, if Su He resisted too fiercely and would rather die than surrender, there would be no way, so he would take this trip and decide at that time.

After moving quickly, three hours later, it was only fifty or sixty kilometers away from the swamp where the Lanya tribe was located. Galdi had arranged people to go out to clear obstacles. He sent all his most powerful spies, equivalent to spies in the army. He could be said to be the elite among the elites. In addition, he had already touched the enemy's post and the arrival time of the patrol team. As long as nothing unexpected happened, there would be no problem.

Sure enough, not long after, a spy came to report that the sentry and patrol team sent by the enemy had all been successfully resolved.
