Chapter 734 The second kingdom exploration, the first battle on Cuba Island!
The sea and sky are broad, the wind and waves are calm, and the bright sunshine in September shines on the Caribbean Sea after the storm. The sea is shining with sparkling waves, like the long golden feathers on the body of a feathered serpent, and like a magnificent mirror at the feet of a god.
After the rain, the sky cleared, and seven longships of the kingdom, loaded with three to four hundred warriors, set off together. The entire fleet maintained a steady speed, rowing along the green coast of Cuba toward the east. The red soil of the east
The distance from the main part of Mayari was about two hundred miles. Because the sailors had to maintain their physical strength to be able to encounter the enemy at any time, they only rowed sixty or seventy miles in one day. After three days of doing this, when the early morning light
The light illuminates the sky, and the magnificent red hills and land along the coast come into view.
The large red soil tribe of the Taíno people was only a dozen miles ahead, but Priest Tomat was not in a hurry to arrive. He asked the fleet to stop nearby and the crew to recover their strength. At the same time, he asked two hunters from the Mayari tribe to board
Landing on land, he took the envoy who had asked for help before to get in touch with the Red Soil Ministry. A smart canoe was lowered from the long boat, carrying three or four Kingdom sailors who were good at rowing, to explore the situation on the coast ahead.
Half a day later, everyone had a simple lunch, and the two parties' explorations returned one after another. The Kingdom's sailors discovered the situation on the seaside. The Siguayu people had hundreds of canoes, and they were dividing into small teams of dozens of people, and were patrolling along the coast.
Villages and tribal raids!
"Witness the Lord God! The Siguayo people are like a group of poor and crazy savages! They wield stone spears and hunt bows, rob the fish and turtles raised in the weir ponds, rob the dogs and wire-haired rats in the corrals, and rob fishing
Dried fish and tools in the hut, robbed the dried tobacco leaves in the tobacco hut, and even dug cassava in the cassava field and took it away."
The scouting sailor answered like this. There was no worry on his face before the battle, but instead a look of wonder at the fun.
"Most of the two to three thousand tribesmen in the Red Soil tribe have gathered together and huddled in their main village, relying on a circle of wooden fences for defense. The Siguayu people sent forty or fifty people to watch the main village, but they did not contribute.
Attack. Their large troops robbed the small villages, took away all the property they could take away, and captured the young men and women who were scattered around."
"There are no traces of fighting on the coast, and there are not many dead bodies. I saw from a distance that they had hundreds of coolies carrying supplies. Judging from the different white tattoos on their bodies, they should be captured Tainos, but they
I don’t know which tribes they were captured from.”
After hearing this description, Priest Tomat and Chihuaco, the old militiaman, looked at each other with thoughts on their faces.
"God bless you! It seems that the Red Earth Tribe is not in danger. There are hundreds of them gathered together, and they are not easily eaten by the enemy. The Siguayo people did not kill wantonly, but only looted food and property, and arrested
captive."
"Well, it seems that the Taino people treated the fish ponds as their own fish ponds. They had to keep the fish and catch them all! I guess the Siguayo people really planned to settle down.
.Their home base must be two to three hundred miles away."
The two discussed for a while, and the Mayari tribe's scouts also returned from the land. They reported a few words to Chief Shuihua, and Chief Shuihua looked worried and said to Priest Tomat.
"Dear Priest Tomat! The Red Earth Ministry is surrounded by the ferocious Siguayu people! There are hundreds of Siguayu people, dozens of hands can't count them. They have captured dozens of young men and women.
.According to the situation of the last robbery, the Siguayo people will rob until evening and then leave towards the northeast sea."
Having said this, Chief Shuihua paused, knelt down on the deck, and begged the two leaders of the longship tribe.
"Bociba, the red stone chief of the Red Earth Tribe, wants to make an agreement with the fleet. When the Siguayu people begin to evacuate in the evening, we will attack them from the sea and land together! Although the Siguayu people are ferocious, they are full of people.
When the property is about to leave, the will to fight is not high. We do not seek to completely defeat them. As long as we can repel them and try to rescue the dozens of captured village men and women!"
Seeing Chief Shuihua's sincere plea and listening to the detailed plan in his mouth, Priest Tomat raised his eyebrows and laughed a little. After listening patiently, he stepped forward, kindly held Chief Shuihua up, and smiled confidently.
answer.
"Chief Shuihua, don't worry! Since we are here, we will definitely defeat the Siguayu people and rescue the captured tribesmen! Because the Lord God protects us, He is supreme and great, and you will witness His power."
"As for the battle plan, it's actually very simple. The Siguayu people are looting, and most of the soldiers are on land. While their power is scattered, we just need to concentrate on pressing forward with all our strength and rush forward!"
Priest Tomat smiled slightly, made a fist with his left hand, thrust forward, and gently pressed it against Chief Shuihua's heart. Then, he turned his head, his gentle eyes suddenly sharpened, as if he had become a different person. He made no secret of it.
The murderous intention was accompanied by his low words, which hit Chief Shuihua's heart word by word.
"Vice Captain Puap, let all the warriors put on armor! The archers loaded their bows, the spearmen set up their spears, and the oarsmen prepared with all their strength! Two quarters of an hour later, we deployed the fleet and got into battle formation.
, and went straight to the Siguayu fleet that was docked on the shore!"
"In this battle, there is no need to worry about capturing prisoners, let go of your hands and feet to kill! Give me all your strength and win beautifully! I will use the Siguayu people as a sacrifice to the Lord God, so that the Lord God's glory will be on the island of Cuba.
The east is illuminated!."
"Ho ho! Praise the Lord God, this battle will be a great victory!"
In the horrified eyes of Chief Shuihua, the dust warrior Puap put on a bronze cloth armor, raised a ninety-pound bow, and had two copper axes inserted in his waist. He grinned widely, and his face flashed
He showed a bloodthirsty killing intent and an impatient smile. After a while, the bellicose Huitu Puap summoned the warriors on the ship and loudly lectured everyone.
"God bless you! This is the first battle on Snake Island in Cuba. Give me some strength! You are all wearing leather and bronze armor and holding sharp weapons, but the other side doesn't even have cotton armor. It's just a bunch of people.
You savage, don’t hold back for a while, come close to me and kill me hard!”
"Come all this way, now that you've hooked up with a Tylenol woman, you have to behave like a man! When this battle is over, whoever doesn't have blood on his hands will be punished by going to accompany Captain Chihuaco and fishing for half
Moon fish! Hey, that’s a lot more fun than playing around with young women in the village.”
"Ha ha!"
Hearing this, the kingdom warriors in the fleet burst into laughter, while the sailors pursed their lips and did not dare to laugh out loud. The old militiaman Chihuaco's face turned black and he glanced at the young Dark Snake and Didi in embarrassment.
I felt secretly cruel in my heart.
"Well, Puap! I just said a few words to you in front of the two children, and you remember it until now! After we leave, you will accompany Priest Tomat and stay in the Cuban village.
, have fun!"
After the kingdom's warriors laughed, the whole fleet suddenly became silent. Everyone was a veteran who was used to seeing blood. When fighting a real battle, there wouldn't be many emotional ups and downs. On the contrary, the splash of water holding the hunting bow
The chief, together with the Taíno militiamen of the Mayari tribe, were the ones who were truly trembling, with nervous and excited expressions on their faces.
"The Lord God bless you! Chief Splash, don't be nervous. Under the Lord God's shroud, the warriors of the kingdom are blessed. This battle is promised by the Lord God, and we will surely win!"
Priest Tomat looked solemn, said a few words of comfort, and put a sturdy leather armor on Chief Splash. He didn't want anything unexpected to happen to another important target in this battle.
Huitu Puap commanded the fleet and traveled a distance of more than ten miles. At a glance, he saw the low villages of the Red Earth Department and hundreds of messy boats on the coast. Hundreds of Siguayo warriors,
They were bare-chested, with black tattoos, and carrying stone spears and short bows, and they were noisy and busy along the coast. They drove more than a hundred Taino prisoners, and many others carried out large and small baskets of supplies themselves.
Carry it back and forth to the boat.
Most of their black hair is dyed blue, because indigo is the most common dye on the coast of Central America. A few are dyed red, which is the powder ground from the seeds of mahogany trees in the Caribbean Islands. Only a few are revered.
Only the warrior leader can be dyed the rare and respected purple.
That is the murex purple extracted from a large number of murex. It has a naturally bright color and a traditional bright luster. This expensive seaside dye was also produced on the North African coast of the Mediterranean and the Caribbean Islands. It once became a symbol of the royal family of the Byzantine Empire.
, which is the "purple" of "purple noble".
"Hey! These Siguayu people have different hair colors, and there are obvious upper and lower levels. They are obviously more organized than the Taíno people."
Huitu Puap narrowed his eyes and stood on the bow of the rapidly advancing ship, looking at the chaotic crowd on the beach, looking for the target of killing.
With the sudden appearance of the Kingdom's longship, the Siguayu warriors on the outer boats were extremely surprised and were the first to shout. Soon, a leader with purple hair changed his face and pointed at the approaching longship from several miles away.
The ship shouted loudly to the left and right. After just a few breaths, several red-haired senior soldiers took out warning conchs and blew them one after another!
"Dee! Dee-dee-dee! Dee-dee!"
When the warning conch sound sounded, the expressions of the Siguayu warriors on the shore suddenly changed. They threw down the food and goods in their hands, paying no attention to the Taino prisoners nearby or the villages watching from a distance. They just held their bows and spears and hurried
They jumped into the boat and prepared to fight the longship that suddenly appeared on the sea. The Siguayo people had no allies in eastern Cuba, so they must be enemies!
"Enemy! Enemy! To the west, on the longship, the enemy is coming!"
In just a moment, the Siguayu people's boat group changed rapidly like a school of frightened fish. And just when they barely got into a fighting stance, seven Kingdom longships more than 20 meters long accelerated.
When it reaches its maximum size, it looks like a menacing and vicious shark, suddenly pouncing and biting!
The two sides quickly approached, and the "sharks" shouted shocking and neat slogans. This was a language that the Siguayo people had never heard before, and it was also a battlefield killing that no tribe in the Caribbean had ever seen.
"Praise the Lord God, fight for God! Eighty steps! Sixty steps! Fifty steps! Archers are ready, shoot!"
