() With two hundred feathers on his head, bare feet and tattooed face, in front of the extremely ferocious barbarian, Zhuang Mo stood tall and majestic, with a pockmarked face full of murderous intent, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Zhuang Hu"
A barbarian general came out to answer the call. His height was similar to that of Zhuang Mo. He stood out from the crowd like a chicken. His exposed muscles were bulging, accumulating earth-shattering explosive power. With his height, he stood out from the crowd no matter where he went. In the past, he stood out from the crowd.
In the community, he was the hunting leader. Because he had contact with some Han merchants and knew some Chinese, Zhuang Mo loved his eloquence and bravery, so he gave him the surname Zhuang and named him Hu, and appointed him as the leader of the barbarians, replacing him on ordinary days.
Chapters of Zhuang Mo's novel about managing barbarians.
Zhuang Hu could speak some Chinese, but his level was limited. Zhuang Mo said in short words: "There is a group of enemies on the mountain. The big leader has given the order to go to war. We must defeat the enemies."
Zhuang Hu said in Chinese with some barbaric words: "The mountains are our home, the tree trunks are our beds, the wild animals are our food, and the sun god is in the sky to bless us with fast and accurate arrows. The enemy will only attack us."
Trembling under the arrow."
Zhuang Mo added: "We still have some companions. Go and tell everyone that the ones with black strips on their right arms are companions, and the ones with nothing on their right arms are enemies." Zhuang Hu was afraid that he didn't understand or misunderstood, so Zhuang Hu
Mo tied a piece of black cloth on his arm.
Zhuang Hu nodded to express his understanding, turned around and yelled at the crowd in native language.
"Brother Zhuang..." Lin Xishan walked quickly, clasped his fists at Zhuang Mo and said, "The big leader ordered Brother Zhang and I to lead 600 men and horses to follow Brother Zhuang."
Next to him, Zhang Xing nodded with a cold face. It wasn't that he had any objections to Zhuang Mo. He was always like this. Only when he bumped into Yang Dong would he have endless things to talk about. Huang Chen once laughed at the two of them, "Okay."
Friends for life."
As long as it's not Zhao Hongyi, it doesn't matter who Zhuang Mo partners with. He said: "That's good. With the help of Brother Lin and Brother Zhang, this battle will be won."
Lin Xishan glanced at the top of the mountain and said solemnly: "The officers and soldiers are guarding the mountain and waiting for work. They should not be underestimated. Brother Zhuang must not be careless."
"Of course." Zhuang Mo said.
"Everyone is entering the mountain one after another. Let's not delay any longer and leave." Zhang Xing ended the conversation between the three of them after speaking for the first time.
"Baas, why don't you send me and my company to fight? We are completely capable." William said.
Huang Chen squinted at him and said, "You want your men to go into the mountains with five-meter spears and heavy muskets? Stop joking."
William said: "I don't think that will be a problem. The long spears can be replaced by short spears, and the heavy muskets can be replaced by light matchlocks. The problem is, baas, you don't trust us."
"Congratulations, you got the answer right. But there is no reward." Huang Chen spread his hands and said.
"..." William was attacked again. Huang Chen's words always made him hurt. Since they met, he has been hit by many "knives". Huang Chen is a leader with extraordinary charm. He can obviously make himself more perfect.
, but he was unwilling to try.
Huang Chen said with a smile: "Don't be too depressed now. Maybe the enemy's reinforcements will appear behind us in the next moment. Compared with attacking the mountain, a land battle will be more beneficial to you, isn't it?"
William asked: "Will the enemy's reinforcements arrive?"
"You need to ask God about that."
"..."
Fujian is a mountainous province. It is known as "eight mountains, one water and one farmland". Fujian people think that they are not weaker than others when climbing mountains. However, when they see the Taiwanese barbarians today, they only have the word "submit" in their hearts.
The Taiwanese barbarians, barefooted and clutching long bows, entered the mountains as if they were transformed into spiritual apes. They ran through the mountains at extremely fast speeds, and the Fujianese could not catch up even with all their might.
Zhuang Hu rushed the fastest, but he did not rush straight up. Instead, he chose two or two big trees and ran in a zigzag route. He cleverly used thick trees as cover to avoid being hurt by enemies hiding in the dark.
Zhuang Hu rushed to the foot of a big tree. Instead of turning back as before, he jumped forward. At the same time, he drew a long and thick arrow with double barbs and a featherless tail from his back.
Withdrawing his bow, he opened it like a full moon, and shot an arrow through the throat of the enemy lying in another big tree. The man groaned, fell off the branch, fell heavily to the ground, and lost his voice in the blink of an eye. Compared with other abilities,
The Taiwanese barbarians may not be as good as the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in everything, but when it comes to ambushes and hunting, the Taiwanese barbarians can be regarded as their ancestors.
Zhuang Hu walked up to the enemy, grabbed the arrow shaft and pulled it out hard, and the double barbs of the arrow cluster pulled out slivers of minced meat. This kind of arrow is unique to Taiwanese barbarians. Its lethality is amazing, and the barbarians have a habit of
The arrows are poisoned, even if they don't hit the vital point, it can make the enemy lose the ability to fight back, and it is extremely poisonous. Zhuang Hu was not surprised by the minced meat on the barbs, so he shook the arrow clean and put it back into the quiver.
At the same time, screams were heard everywhere, including officers and soldiers, pirates, and barbarians. In the mountains with such a complex environment, even the most adaptable barbarians could not guarantee their lives, let alone pirates and officers and soldiers.
said.
The officers and soldiers discovered the natives before they entered the mountain. They didn't pay much attention to them. They were just a group of natives. Who would have thought that they were so powerful? They were so mysterious that they killed and injured more than 20 people in a short period of time. At this time, the officers and soldiers finally led the team.
Reacting to their reaction, they played ambushes and counter-ambushes with the Tumans in the mountains. No matter how many people they had, there were not enough people to kill them, so they hurriedly ordered a retreat. After a day and night of work, the officers and soldiers had set up some defense fortifications on the top of the mountain. Only by relying on these fortifications could they resist the Tumans.
Sharp long arrow.
Lin Xishan came to the mountainside, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Zhuang Mo: "The barbarian archers under brother Zhuang are so powerful."
Zhang Xingnan said: "It's amazing. Without them, we would definitely not be as relaxed as we are now. This contribution is not small."
The long-lasting depression in Zhuang Mo's heart was swept away, and he couldn't hide his pride on his pockmarked face: "In order to train these archers, I, the old man, have worked hard, and the pain and hardship in them cannot be explained to outsiders. If you are not a barbarian and don't understand the language,
If you are not accustomed to the nature of water, it will be difficult for you to perform at sea. You have already gained a reputation, but why are you only known today?"
"It seems that Brother Zhuang has suppressed a lot of worries in his heart, and now he is happy." Lin Xishan said with a smile. He was very generous. Zhuang Mo once acquiesced to Hong Ju to kill him. Others would have felt hatred in their hearts, but he did not. Huang
Chen commented that he was powerful and talented, and could be entrusted with important responsibilities.
"It's really fun." Zhuang Mo laughed loudly.
Zhang Xing turned around and looked back. The barbarian archers were the fastest, followed by the spears. Both of them had already come up. The swords and muskets were still slowly climbing up. A spear weighed only more than a pound and could be used as a staff.
, and a shield weighs five kilograms, a waist knife weighs two kilograms, and a fire gun weighs six or seven kilograms. Both are not light in weight, so they naturally fall behind.
Lin Xishan said: "This small victory is not something to be happy about. A fierce battle is still to come."
"What Brother Lin said is true." Zhuang Mo said with a smile.
Anyone who is familiar with Niumian Mountain will be surprised when they come to the top of the mountain. At this moment, the place has completely changed its appearance. A trench surrounds most of the top of the mountain. There are thousands of rocks, huge trees, fences and other objects everywhere.
The officers and soldiers were hiding among them, holding weapons in their hands. They looked nervously down the mountain. Standing on a large rock, they looked down at the densely packed rebel soldiers climbing up. Their faces were covered with dark clouds, which was particularly gloomy.
"Yuan Rong, there are many ferocious barbarians in the bandit team. They are agile and have extremely accurate arrow skills. We only fought with them for a short time and killed dozens of soldiers. If we continue to fight, it will only increase the casualties. Therefore, I will do it myself."
I suggest you take people to retreat back." He said slowly. This matter is excusable. Rather than letting the soldiers die in vain, it is better to hold on to the position and kill more of his thieves. He secretly sighed and sighed at the many tricks of the pirates. He has thought about it until now.
It doesn’t make sense. How did pirates develop to the point where they are today, causing unrest in Fujian and Guangzhou, and destroying the military strength of Fujian Province? Even during the Japanese Rebellion, there was rarely such a big movement. He sighed again and turned to look north. Although he and Zhangzhou Prefecture had already
A plan has been made, but will Zhangzhou Prefecture still act according to the plan after knowing that his "entire army was wiped out"? After all, it is easy to say that he won, but once he loses, the responsibility will not be small. To put it bluntly, if the sky falls, there will be a governor
Zhu Yifeng and Commander-in-Chief Yu Zigao are on top. They only need to do a good job of "protecting the country and the people." No one in the court can blame them. There is no need to take risks. Abandon
With distracting thoughts, he pulled out the sword from his waist. No matter whether reinforcements from Zhangzhou Prefecture came or not, he would fight to the death with the pirates here, not for the imperial court, not for meritorious deeds, but for Zhu Yifeng's kindness and support.
.This guy actually tinkered with so many unsightly things in a day and night." Ye Wozhen's face was ashen. He did not have as many soldiers as Zhuang Mo, Lin Xishan, and Zhang, but he was Li Kuiqi's most popular man, and most pirates were happy to suffer.
He directs.
"Brother Ye, everyone listens to you. I'll fight you as you say. I'll have no objection." A fat man with fair skin and a kind smile said. His surname is Zhong Minggui, and he is Zhong Bin's brother. If Zhong Bin is
Smiling Tiger, this guy is the Maitreya Buddha, the kind-faced devil. Most of the time at sea, the elder brother is in the upper position and the younger brother is in the lower position. The Zhong brothers are reversed, which is a strange story on the sea. On the one hand, it shows that Zhong Bin is indeed a heroic figure, on the other hand
It shows that Zhong Gui is also a very human being. He can do his best for his younger brother, and there are not many people who can do as hard as a dog or a horse.
Zhuang Mo, Lin Xishan, and Zhang Xing were silent, with different expressions.
Seeing that the three people did not object, Ye Wozhen pretended to decline and took the command position. Ye Wozhen was not a mediocre person. He knew in his heart that no one wanted to be used as a gun or a shield.
There is absolutely no benefit in refusing to influence the authority. He suggested that Li, Huang, and Zhong be the main force, with the other pirates as supplements, and test the strength of their opponents first.
This is the fairest thing to do, and everyone has no objection.
Zhuang Mo said to Lin Xishan and Zhang Xing: "Brother Lin, brother Zhang, you two have a rest for now. I will take the first round."
Lin Xishan did not refute his face, but reminded: "If it doesn't work, don't try to be brave, stand down and we will make long-term plans."
"Be careful." Zhang Xing said briefly.
Zhuang Mo nodded and mobilized fifty swordsmen from Lin and Zhang's command. He also took a shield to defend himself. Together with the barbarian archers, they followed the thieves and swarmed into the officers and soldiers' position. He gave the decisive order and several French guns exploded one after another.
, large pieces of gravel, iron, and lead bullets spurted out, shooting towards the crowd on the opposite side like a torrential rain.
The pirates who rushed at the front all had shields with them, but the shields could not block the hot cannons. Seven or eight people fell immediately, and five or six more the next moment. The pirate team was mixed, some continued to charge forward, and some
People stopped, some stepped back, and the formation immediately became scattered. The officers and soldiers took the opportunity to use their guns and fired with three eyes, killing and wounding dozens more people.
Ye Wozhen stood behind and shouted: "Don't panic! The officers and soldiers don't have many cannons, so they rush over and fight them at close range. Anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed without mercy!"
Compared to other pirates, Zhuang Mo's team was much more organized. Zhuang Mo protected himself with shields and mingled with the crowd, neither leaning forward nor behind, and advancing steadily. When the enemy was ten steps away, Zhuang Mo
He yelled "she", and before the last word had finished, dozens of long arrows emerged from behind the wall of cards and flew straight to the officers and soldiers' positions.
"Uh-huh." A firearms soldier who had no time to retract his body after firing the gun was suddenly hit by an arrow in the chest. Then four long arrows shot almost at the same time and penetrated his body hard. He staggered and fell to the ground.
The pupils slowly dilated.
Five other people suffered the same fate as him. They were shot in the chest and face with arrows, or were injured alive or dead.
The performance of the officers and soldiers was not much better than that of the pirates. They were also a little flustered after being hit suddenly.
The opportunity was rare, Zhuang Mo urgently ordered his men to speed up, and withstood a round of firearms fire from the officers and soldiers, becoming the first pirate force to break into the officers and soldiers' positions. Zhuang Mo's huge body jumped across the ditch, and with the rapid momentum, he struck out with a knife
He chopped up a three-eyed gunman, and as soon as his feet landed on the ground, he immediately killed another enemy beside him at a very fast speed, killing two people in a row, cleanly and neatly.
As Zhuang Mo's team entered the city first, more and more pirates poured in and fought with the officers and soldiers in the position. Zhuang Mo was not used to using shields, so he simply gave up and faced the enemy with a single sword. He was tall and armed.
Long and brave, he had an advantage against the short Fujian people. In a short while, he had five or six people in his hands. However, the more he fought, the more difficult it became. There was an endless stream of enemies.
Continuously. I'm afraid everyone's previous guesses were wrong. The number of officers and soldiers was definitely more than one thousand, perhaps more than two thousand.
Knowing that it would be difficult to achieve anything if he continued to fight, Zhuang Mo made a retreating sound, slashing left and right, killing two or three people, rushed out of the officers and soldiers' positions, and flew back. Zhuang Mo's team was like a weathervane. As soon as they retreated, everyone
None of the thieves dared to fight continuously, and they all rushed out of the battlefield.
To the surprise of the thieves, the officers and soldiers followed them and rushed out of the position, biting the thieves. There was a melee between the two sides until Ye Wozhen, Zhong Gui, Zhang Xing, and Lin Xishan came with people to help, and the officers and soldiers were unwilling to give up.
After returning to their positions, the two sides fell into a confrontation again. (To be continued...)
