The reason for the conflict is roughly the same as Xu Chen's guess.

The great witch of the Wu clan passed away and the new witch succeeded to the throne. The prestige was not enough to convince the public. Perhaps the Cang clan accidentally revealed the news of the great witch's death during the transactions with the Cha clan. The other party's attitude quickly changed significantly, and several slight frictions occurred, until this time it was completely out of control.

The current situation is that the Cang tribe has given up its habitat and retreated to a narrow valley more than ten miles downstream of the Ji tribe to defend and wait for assistance. The Ji tribe supported more than 20 people, because the strength of the two sides was too different and the defense was very difficult. The purpose was just to allow the women, children, young and old of the Cang tribe to have enough time to evacuate to the Ji tribe.

If this defense is broken, the opponent will directly kill the Ji clan.

There is no saying that wars between different tribes in this era are surrendered.

If you fail, you either submit to the other party's spiritual beliefs and become the other party's alliance tribe, or migrate to other places to be displaced.

The habit of plundering people has not been developed yet, because a family-style tribe composed of matriarchal blood does not require foreign women to pollute the bloodline of their tribe, so they will not rob women, and men in failed tribes are not qualified to mate, so they do not need men. At most, they will be captured and asked the other party to exchange things for them. Of course, the most likely they are to be killed.

A tribe that loses the support of a man will soon weaken.

Killing the men from the other tribe, expelling the women from the other tribe, and snatching the other party's wealth and territory are the basic rules of the current war between tribes.

Although the situation is serious, the group of people are very excited. It seems that this is an unprecedented super war, with fear of extinction.

But in Xu Chen's eyes, this tribal battle of dozens or hundreds of people was at best the scale of the armed battle between the two villages in later generations, or even worse.

In Guangxi, the two villages have never fought and become completely unqualified neighbors.

It is said that many people in Guangxi are descendants of immigrants when the Qin Dynasty conquered Nanyue, and their bloodlines retained the violent war genes of the pre-Qin period.

To study some ancient Chinese inheritance customs, Guangxi Yunnan and Guizhou are definitely the best place.

The southward, the older this custom remains.

Therefore, in Xu Chen's view, this tribal war that seems unprecedented in all savages, is only the same as the village's armed battle.

But due to the limitations of weapons and wisdom, this kind of battle is much lower.

Without formation, no military tactics, no military deployment and planning, everything is like a group fight, and it will be over.

The Cang tribe rarely gave up its territory and defended its support, which is actually a very simple military strategy.

With the opponent's number of people obviously dominant, he did not break through the defense of the Cang clan for four days, and the attack power seemed not as strong as imagined.

In fact, the battle between human tribes is much more complicated than hunting. After all, they are all intelligent races. If you can't win, you can hide. If you can attack, you will also attack. Even if you are injured, you will not escape like a beast. Instead, you will find ways to defend and counterattack. Even if the attacking side is strong, it is not mainly about killing the other party completely, but expelling them by means of deterrence, intimidation, etc., because once the war is more serious, it will be dead.

Therefore, even if it is a fierce battle, it will try its best to reduce casualties. It will not drive slaves to charge in the royal power period, and use various royal power orders and military merit rewards to stimulate the soldiers to fight to the death.

Before the formation of private ownership, conflicts between human tribes were mostly threats, or even witches as the core, and a cultural and intellectual competition was conducted to judge the strength gap between them.

Since the emergence of witches, humans have actually begun to get rid of ethnic conflicts with pure animal attributes and turn to a more advanced wisdom contest.

When private ownership and royal power emerge, this kind of battle will undergo tremendous changes as the expansion of selfish desires and power desires, and force will gradually become the core of dominating wars, but wisdom is more complex, military strategies are emerging one after another, and war excuses are more diverse.

But in the end, all wars must have an excuse, called "Masters are famous".

The reason why the Cang tribe suffered from the extermination this time was because they killed and injured more than a dozen people from the other tribe. In addition, the death of the great witch caused damage to the wisdom and strength. The other party had sufficient reasons and sufficient strength to feel that it could launch a fatal blow to the Cang tribe.

Of course, clay pots and linens are also very important incentives.

People die for money and birds die for food. This is the original nature and has nothing to do with wisdom.

After roughly understanding the causes and consequences of the conflict and the current situation, Xu Chen began to inquire about the distribution and geographical situation of several tribes near the Cang tribe, and then slowly used charcoal to draw a simple map on the stone wall of the cave.

The Ji tribe is forty miles southwest of the Wu tribe. The living area is a Sancha River Valley. A valley facing northeast leads to the Wu tribe, and a valley facing northwest leads to the more wild mountains. Twenty miles south of the river, it is the habitat of the Cang tribe. This river continues to wind to the southeast, and there are several tributaries, one of which is a river that can pick up gold, and the Cha tribe is nearby.

Continue to the southeast along the river, which is the territory of the Gonghuo clan.

This river originated a hundred miles upstream of the Ji tribe, and finally poured into the river outside the Ba valley within the control of the Gonghuo Tribe Alliance.

According to the current situation, the Gonghuo Tribe may have planned to include all this tributary basin in the territory and then completely border the Ukrainian people.

The current river has little water volume. When the rainy season in spring and summer, the river will have a huge water volume, and it will pour out into a vast ocean. It is a very important tributary of the river.

As a group of people talked about, this map slowly took shape.

However, this picture is just an overview and has basically no great military value.

Because everyone has no exact concept of distance, when it comes to the distance between tribes, they are all used to describe it for a few days, so Xu Chen can only roughly figure out the distribution of these tribes.

Xu Chen stared at the map and repeatedly gestured with his hands to ponder.

A large group of people surrounded Xu Chen, and later generations raised torches to help him illuminate them.

Drawing maps is an extremely profound skill. Primitive people also had some such intentional or unintentional actions, and would draw some mountains, rivers and rivers on the stone walls, but they were far less comprehensive than Xu Chen's paintings. Every mountain and every river must be drawn.

The current situation is very simple. After more than ten miles down the river, the Cang tribe almost used its strength to guard a relatively narrow section of the river. On one side is a steep cliff and on the other side is a turbulent river water, leaving the opponent with a small space for attack, so it can hold on for two or three days, but that's all. With huge casualties and fear, the Cang tribe cannot hold on for a long time, and tomorrow it is very likely that the most violent battle since the conflict broke out.

Because these foreigners come from afar, they generally do not carry too much food. In addition, the consumption of spear weapons is also very large. If you throw one, you have to make another one again. Without sharp metal knives, it is not easy to make a suitable sharp spear, especially under constant consumption, you have to throw at least dozens or hundreds of them a day, and the logistics cannot keep up. This war is very unfavorable to the other party.

Moreover, the other party must also know that reinforcements will definitely arrive in the Ukrainian tribe, so it is urgent to fight quickly and will never delay too long.

At present, the opponent's casualties are relatively small, and there is still a powerful force of about 200.

He brought about 110 people, and there were more than 20 people left in Ji clan and could not be used. There were about 70 people in the downstream Cang clan and Ji clan.

In other words, the strengths of both sides are almost the same, and the other side has a strategic advantage.

If it was in the previous state, there was almost no certainty for this kind of battle to win.

But the current situation is different. The Ba people he trained and a group of five-sected students all have certain military qualities. Their combat power is much stronger than these primitive savages who can fight the war at will. Not to mention one fights ten, it is not a big problem to cooperate with one fighter. The most important thing is that they also have a archer with a size of thirty people.

In the current situation, this is definitely a big killer.

The only regret is the quality of the production under the arrow. The attack distance is far inferior to that of the throwing spear, so it cannot form absolute suppression on the other side. It can only form a relatively large lethal force when conflicting in the middle distance, and needs to be used at the right time.

In addition, Xu Chen's target captured the prisoners.

For his king-to-dominated business plan, population is the key to success. He needs a large number of mines, farming and construction workers. Enslaving foreigners is the best way. This will not cause conflicts within the tribe, but will even make them taste the benefits and stimulate their interest and fighting spirit to guide other tribes.

Therefore, he did not intend to use the bow and arrow before he had no choice. Even if he wanted to use it, he would focus on injury and try to capture more prisoners.

The power of bows and arrows with stone and bone is relatively weak. As long as they are not hit by the vital points of soft parts such as the neck and abdomen, there will be basically no life danger. As long as they are treated in time, there will be no hidden dangers after the injury is healed.

All hunters in tribes are not covered with scars. Even if some seem to be very serious, they will survive the infection period and become a hero again.
