Chapter 55: Advantage of Range
After simply drinking some water and eating a piece of dried meat, the advantage of them deliberately slowing down their marching speed to conserve energy was immediately apparent.
After a short rest, everyone had basically recovered to their best condition.
As they emerged from the cover of the forest, the barbarians of the opposing tribe clearly discovered their presence.
After a commotion, four barbarians holding wooden stick weapons stood outside the tribal camp with wary expressions, but they did not intend to charge forward.
Although they were natives of the ancient era, natives were not equivalent to being intellectually disabled.
The advantage of being on the defensive side was that the entire population could be soldiers.
In a true moment of life and death, in a tribe with strong cohesion, every member could serve as a fighting force.
What kind of fool would not use such an advantage?
Their defensive strategy was undoubtedly correct.
Before, Luo Ji had spent the first few days with seven wolf warriors, and they hadn’t been able to do whatever they wanted within the young chieftain’s tribe.
This was enough to show the advantage of the defending side.
To put it crudely, fighting on someone else’s territory was truly tiring.
Unfortunately, today was different from the past.
He had come with his killing weapon this time.
He himself was not someone who liked to hide things.
Although Luo Ji’s style when playing games before was to prefer stable development, if you didn’t let him have peace, then fine, no one would have peace.
He would instantly switch to war maniac mode, unleashing his big moves and killing weapons right at the start.
Regardless, first throw a nuclear warhead over to greet them, fast, accurate, and lethal with one shot.
Now that he was in another world, his style had not changed much.
Looking at the four barbarians standing in strict formation opposite him, just waiting for them to charge over, Luo Ji slowly waved his hand.
“Bring out the killing weapon!”
four slings simultaneously began spinning at high speed.
The whistling sound they produced was somehow inexplicably exciting.
These four slingers were clearly not amateurs either.
In the past half month, they had already cooperated with other warriors in the tribe to repel two waves of barbarians who had trespassed onto their Mirror Tribe’s territory.
Now, each of them was also wielding the slings expertly.
Facing these slingers that did not exist in their common knowledge, the four barbarians of the opposing tribe clearly did not know what Luo Ji and the others were doing.
Before they could take a few more glances, as Luo Ji gave the order, four stone bullets, fully charged with centrifugal force, immediately flew out with a whistle.
This unexpected situation left the four barbarians no time to react.
One of the barbarians’ heads was even struck by a stone bullet on the spot, directly resulting in a bloody mess on his face.
Along with the splashing blood, he was completely stunned and then fell head first onto the ground.
And the other three barbarians were scared silly by the sudden attack.
They subconsciously looked at Luo Ji and the others standing in the distance.
Based on their knowledge, they really couldn’t react to this situation.
Afterwards, each of them screamed and fled.
One of them was relatively more considerate.
He didn’t forget the one lying paralyzed on the ground when he fled and dragged that person away with him.
Honestly, Luo Ji himself was quite surprised that they could hit with one shot just now.
After all, the biggest disadvantage of slingers was inaccuracy.
Coupled with limited training time, there was definitely an element of luck involved, but this still gave him a surge of pleasant surprise.
Luo Ji didn’t need to say much at all.
After throwing one stone bullet, the four slingers each skillfully loaded a second stone bullet onto their slings and started spinning again.
Stone bullets were continuously smashing towards the opposing tribe’s camp one after another.
What Luo Ji was doing at this moment, if it were in a game, would be pulling four teams of ranged units, occupying the high ground advantage, and hitting them at the city gate.
This setup could practically do anything in the very beginning of a game.
And the facts proved that it was the same in this ancient, other world.
This was the absolute advantage of range!
That first shot that exploded a head definitely served to establish dominance.
The guy whose forehead was blown open was still lying paralyzed on the ground, he’s either unconscious or dead.
With this cautionary example lying right beside them, who still had the guts to charge out?
Did they really think they had iron heads?
Luo Yong, standing beside him, felt a bit uncomfortable.
He had borrowed a sling from Zhao Pan later and secretly practiced a few times.
However, it just didn’t feel right no matter how he used it.
In the end, he honestly gave up.
Now, watching the four slingers unleash their power, beating the opposing tribe’s barbarians with no ability to fight back, saying he wasn’t upset at all was definitely false.
It seemed like they were just here to watch the show this time.
The main force of this battle is the slingers.
Luo Ji did not deny this point.
The appearance of ranged units has a cross-era significance.
As a modern person, how could Luo Ji not know this?
On a modern battlefield, soldiers all charge forward with guns.
Have you ever seen anyone charge with melee weapons?
Facts prove that in modern times, at most, soldiers are equipped with a military knife for self-defense.
As for weapons like swords, spears, staffs, and clubs, they were eliminated from the battlefield a long time ago.
However, at present, the civilization development level of their tribe is still stuck in the ancient stone age.
Talking about firearms is obviously too early.
Within the next several eras, the status of cold weapons will still be unshakable.
Bringing Luo Yong and the others out was clearly not for watching a show, but to prevent the opposing tribe’s barbarians from getting close.
It was just that the effect of that headshot was simply too good.
It directly shattered their courage to charge forward.
If the opponents didn’t dare to charge forward, then Luo Yong and the others naturally had no place to use their skills.
No matter how upset Luo Yong and the others were, from Luo Ji’s perspective as the commander, this was clearly the situation he was most happy to see.
Confirming the remaining number of stone bullets for the slingers, when half of the stone bullets were left, Luo Ji began to call for surrender.
There was no suspense at all in the defeat of this small tribe from beginning to end.
This battle for Luo Ji and the others, the most difficult part was the distance.
The distance between the tribes was a bit annoying to them.
Other than that, there was no pressure or threat.
Signaling Luo Yong and the others not to relax their guard, Luo Ji and his group proudly entered that tribal camp in a victorious manner.
To avoid unnecessary commotion, Luo Ji took off his wolf bone mask in advance and then had people call out all 30+ people of this tribe, gathering them in the center of the camp.
Glancing roughly over the crowd, a hint of surprise flashed across Luo Ji’s face.
Among the 30+ people in this tribe, there were men, women, old, and young.
At first glance, there was nothing strange, but the problem was, this area had just been swept by low temperatures a while ago.
With half a month of continuous low temperatures and severe cold, their Mirror Tribe had struggled so much despite having coal heating and the fish resources of Mirror Lake.
How did such a small tribe survive?
Luo Ji raised an eyebrow, the expression on his face looking slightly subtle.
“No way?”
“Am I that lucky to get exactly what I need?”
