I'm doing infrastructure in ancient times

The stones collided with each other and made a harsh noise, which was annoying, but for those men who lowered their heads to dig the stones, this monotonous and boring sound made them feel at ease.Because as long as they pause for a moment, the sound of the stones colliding will disappear, and the whips in the hands of the people behind them will hit them.

This day looked no different from usual. The dark men were silently doing the work in their hands, while the Kunhu people were dozing off boredly. The master picked it up and shook it twice.

It was getting dark, and there was a tense atmosphere in the air. Several men exchanged glances with each other, glanced at the Kunhu tribe who was still overseeing the work, and lowered their heads honestly, digging the stones under their feet diligently.

"Be quick!" The Kunhu tribe glared at a thin man viciously, and waved the rattan whip in his hand, "Don't try to be lazy, you all ate the food from our Kunhu Lake!"

The man who was beaten didn't say a word, his hands moved faster than before, he lowered his head, in a direction that the Kunhu people couldn't see, the man's cowardly face was full of hatred.

Pooh!Who cares about their food? !If it wasn't for Kunhu bullying the weak, why would they have to leave their hometown and come here to suffer?

The man remembered the plan in his heart, and his aggrieved mood was slightly calmed down. Looking at the flamboyant Kunhu tribe in front of him, he was looking forward to the night coming earlier for the first time.

"Are you sure everything is arranged? There will be no mistakes, right?" Yan Tuo refused to give up, and looked at Cheng Yang again.

"Don't worry, we have contacted many people before, according to the plan, we will do it when it gets dark!"

"The Kunhu tribe has several quarries, and they have organized a lot of people to mine the mines. Most of these coolies are captives. When there is chaos here, let's go to the other two mines immediately to take advantage of the chaos."

There are quite a few people in the Kunhu tribe, but they are too greedy to mine several mines at the same time, and each mine holds many prisoners.In fact, speaking alone, these captives are not the opponents of Kunhu at all, but who made him take too big a step, which is not easy to mess up.When the three mines became chaotic at the same time, and they shot a few arrows in the dark, the Kunhu tribe would be too busy to take care of themselves and would not have the energy to catch the escaped prisoners of war.

In addition, they have already got in touch with some people inside, and they should cooperate internally and externally. It is not difficult to succeed when the Kunhu tribe is caught off guard.

The Kunhu clansmen shook their bodies, glanced at the listless captives in front of them angrily, with their hands behind their backs holding the whips, and didn't pay attention to these people in the slightest.In his opinion, everyone knows the strength of the Kunhu tribe, and it is only natural that these people can work for their Kunhu tribe.And he felt that he was strong and strong, and these taciturn men in front of him didn't have the courage to resist him at all.

Seeing the golden wu sinking, it was time for the tribal dinner, and he swaggered through the crowd. He thought that this day would be the same as usual, but something happened suddenly.

"嗖——" the sound of piercing the sky sounded, and the Kunhu people had no time to react. Their necks had been pierced by a long arrow, their eyes widened in disbelief, and it was only when they fell that they saw many people with their backs jumping out nearby. A man with a sheep's horn bow.

He wanted to shout loudly to remind his people, but it was too late.

His heavy body fell to the ground with a muffled sound. Cheng Yang quickly jumped out of the hiding place and waved to the people behind him, "According to what I said before, move faster!"

For the sudden appearance of Cheng Yang and others, there was some panic among the prisoners of the Kunhu tribe, but they quickly calmed down.After all, they were just prisoners of the Kunhu tribe, and they didn't pay much attention to the life and death of the Kunhu tribe. They even felt a little happy when they saw the Kunhu tribe fell to the ground because they had been bullied for a long time.But for the sudden appearance of Cheng Yang and the others, they were confused and did not know whether it was an enemy or a friend, so they stared at Cheng Yang and the others vigilantly.

However, some people in the crowd knew about the arrival of Cheng Yang and others in advance, so they took the initiative to stand up to appease their clansmen. Although Cheng Yang and others shot and killed the Kunhu clansman who was guarding them, if they wanted To escape here, the help of the Jiuli tribe is indispensable.So they had to persuade the tribe to cooperate with Cheng Yang and others, but it was not difficult, after all, most of the people present wanted to leave here in their dreams.

Cheng Yang divided the manpower he brought into three teams, led by Bator, Meng and himself.According to Cheng Yang's plan, he planned to ask Barto to take some people directly to the Kunhu tribe's clan land, because Barto had the experience of breaking into the Kunhu tribe's base camp overnight before, and he would be more experienced in getting out at that time.And Meng is going to take a team of people to escort these prisoners of war to retreat to their rear.

These prisoners of war have been working under high pressure for a long time, and they have not received enough food supplies.

As for himself, he wanted to take some people to rescue the prisoners of war in another place.

There are prisoners of war in more than one place in the Kunhu tribe. Many people know this, because in order to prevent the prisoners of war from escaping, Kunhu often deploys people from both sides to separate these prisoners of war from the tribe they are familiar with, so they don’t have to worry about it. They will fight together.Because Kunhu was prepared to take precautions, not many people knew the route to another kind of quarry, but fortunately, one of these prisoners of war knew it.

This is also the reason why Cheng Yang had to get in touch with the prisoners of war in advance. With the cooperation of the other party, the matter developed very quickly, and it was simply getting twice the result with half the effort!

In fact, this is also because Kun Lake is really unpopular, and these prisoners of war cooperated with Cheng Yang's actions so much.

The existence of prisoners of war is not uncommon, and even existed many years ago. Cheng Yang found that the tribes in the dense forest accepted them very well. As the defeated party, it was already the default rule to become the other party's captives and coolies.But the Kunhu tribe was too ruthless, and they almost didn't leave a way for others.While vigorously squeezing these prisoners of war, not only did they not give enough food, but they also directly abandoned those prisoners of war who were physically weak.

For prisoners of war who have lost their combat effectiveness and are physically weak, they have no tribe to rely on. If they are abandoned, it will be a dead end.

The Kunhu tribe has a large number of prisoners of war. If they operate well, this is a good human resource. However, Kunhu's approach is undoubtedly to kill chickens and extract eggs, squeeze too many prisoners of war, and then throw them away when they lose their value.These prisoners of war are not stupid. Seeing the number of clansmen around them decrease one by one, they know that if this continues, the same result should be waiting for them in the end.

But it's different now. The appearance of Cheng Yang and others has brought them a turning point.

They don't know what the result will be if they follow the Jiuli tribe, but it can't be worse than their previous situation, right?

With a heavy heart, the prisoners of war followed Meng closely one by one. In the dark night, they didn't know which direction to go.

The one who led the way for Cheng Yang was a middle-aged man. Maybe he was not very old, and his face was too thin. He was a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Looking at his appearance, he had a steady temperament. Cheng Yang found that this He has a delicate personality and a very good memory.

For this man led them the way by footsteps.The middle-aged man stared at his feet the whole time, as if he was counting his steps. Every time he reached a certain place, or reached a certain number of steps, he would turn a corner or change the direction.Cheng Yang guessed that when the Kunhu tribe exchanged the prisoners from the two quarries, they must have blindfolded them, or used other methods, but they did not let them see the distance.

It took a lot of time to walk around, and many people behind Cheng Yang murmured. They had already discovered that many roads were repeated. Some places in the surrounding environment have been turned twice.

Cheng Yang's thoughts turned slightly. It seems that the two stone mines are not far apart. Otherwise, the Kunhu tribe would not have to go to such a great effort to toss back and forth. They just wanted to stun these prisoners of war on purpose. It is very pedantic to write down the steps under the feet. Although it is troublesome, as long as you walk in the opposite direction according to the steps in your mind, you can indeed find the original place.

Sure enough, after walking around with the middle-aged man for a while, they were led into a canyon by him.

There are not many trees here, but there are many hills. From a distance, it looks bare and nothing can be seen. Cheng Yang and others have discovered this canyon before, but they haven't entered it. Didn't expect there to be a quarry inside?

Cheng Yang thought that if he walked inside, he would be able to see another quarry that was well hidden by the Kunhu tribe, but this was not the case.

When they passed through the canyon, they found that it was empty and there was nothing there. The clansmen looked at each other with doubts in their eyes. Seeing that the man in front didn't stop, they continued to follow behind him.

It was already dark at this time, and the middle-aged man led the way by memorizing his steps. Even without a torch, he could still move forward in the dark. Cheng Yang and others have also walked at night many times. It was pitch black, and the group of people moved relatively quickly.

He couldn't see anything in the dark, and suddenly Cheng Yang felt a little light. Not only him, but the people around him had already noticed that there seemed to be torch lights in the darkness ahead.

right up ahead.

Everyone's spirits were shaken, and they cheered up in an instant, ready to move forward quietly, but before they were far away, they heard the sound of laughing and shouting.

With a sweep of Cheng Yang's brows, he knew roughly what was going on ahead.

He asked Barto to take people to the Kunhu tribe to interfere, and try to buy time for him and Meng to escape with these prisoners of war.However, they had followed the middle-aged man for a long time, so Barto should have arrived at Kun Lake earlier than he had imagined. After a short operation, it was naturally a mess.

Kun Lake has a lot of people, so it is not surprising that people will be sent over to watch these prisoners of war.

Cheng Yang's face was serious, and he quickened his pace, and the people behind him followed quickly, but the man who led the way became the tail of the team, obediently trailing behind him.

"Prepare the bow and arrow, let's hurry up!"

They had wasted too much time on the road, so Barto had already arrived at the Kunhu tribe, and they had to quickly transfer the prisoners here, or else when Kunhu reacted, there would definitely be a large number of people stationed here.

The Jiuli people pointed at the place where the torch was lit, drew their bows and released their arrows, and after a while, they touched the side of the prisoners of war. There are many middle-aged men here, and Cheng Yang and others did not attack these prisoners of war, so for Everyone in Jiuli who appeared suddenly was panicked but quickly calmed down.

The living conditions of these prisoners of war were very poor, and there were no torches at night. Those who held the torches were all Kunhu people who came to inspect the prisoners of war. Under the rain of arrows, most of them lost their combat effectiveness.

Before the Kunhu tribe could react, Cheng Yang led the crowd to evacuate in a hurry under the cover of night.

Most of these prisoners of war were physically weak. Although they tried their best to leave, the overall speed of the troop was still very slow. Fortunately, it was covered by the darkness. According to the previously planned route, it was barely smooth.

When the sky was slightly bright, Cheng Yang and others turned around and looked back. There were mountains behind them, and the shadow of Kun Lake had long since disappeared, but black smoke could be seen rising from the sky, revealing that last night was not an illusion.
