In the early morning, shrouded in mist, the roaring sounds of naval battles could be heard on the northern sea surface of Hong Kong Island.
A barbarian wearing a shawl and holding a spear was commanding more than thirty large rafts and launched a fierce attack around dozens of fishing rafts. Every time a stone was thrown, the rafts were shaken in the blink of an eye.
As soon as they arrived, the dozens of fishing rafts suffered heavy damage and fell apart with a crash. The people on the rafts also screamed and sank into the water. Circles of blood appeared in the water from time to time. It was obvious that the people who fell into the water had been injured.
harm
After the water obstacles blocking their progress were cleared, the raft brigade slowly turned around and landed at the Chinese stronghold dock not far from the reeds. Behind the raft brigade, there were also 6 small boats following. Look at the depth of the boat's draft.
There must be something heavy on board.
"Crash--" a continuous sound of friction sounded. At this moment when the raft docked, the Chinese in the stronghold just woke up from a dream and fled in all directions.
"Kill -, rush up and rob me of all their food!" The leader of the army roared excitedly, waving the spear in his hand continuously. This man was none other than the chief of the Alexander tribe.
——Alex
Ever since the Chinese established a stronghold here and were at odds with the Alpine tribes and grassland tribes, and developed trade exchanges, Alex gradually discovered this place. However, he has not taken action, because except for the neighboring Alpine tribes and grassland tribes,
, that strange and mysterious tribe, the Chinese tribe, also established a strong village here and stationed a force of nearly 500 people. Although he secretly discovered from the dark that this stronghold was often visited by large ships, hoarding
There was a lot of food and other resources, but Alex decided to wait for the opportunity, otherwise he would not be willing to lose his wife and lose his troops.
Finally, under Alex's persuasion and deliberate provocation, the Zhagu Zhaha clan also learned of the existence of this stronghold. Since they were severely punished last time, Hachi'e and Michelle have been feeling unhappy.
With a grudge, I heard this time that the two tribes not only moved their tribes to the seaside, but also lost the support of the mountains. When the victory rate of attacking the two tribes increased by several percent, they could regain the previous defeat in one fell swoop with profits.
However, Alex did not tell Hachi'e and the others about the hundreds of Chinese troops stationed in the stronghold. Alex would not be so stupid as to give such a huge benefit to Hachi'e, Michel and others.
In his eyes, it was just a bait to attract the Chinese troops away. The large amount of supplies stored in the stronghold could only be possessed by his own Alexander tribe.
God follows man's wish
Alex's goal was achieved. At this moment, the garrison of more than 400 people in the stronghold had set out to rescue them because of the urgent call from the mountain tribes and grassland tribes. Now, except for the slaves and fishermen, there were no one else in the stronghold.
Can stop his footsteps
Inside the stronghold, there were people fleeing in panic everywhere. The remaining thirty or so Chinese warriors who were left to guard rushed to the dock in full gear, waving bronze swords and roaring at Alex and other barbaric gunmen, trying their best to stop Alexander.
However, the number of invaders was obviously many times greater than that of this group of dedicated warriors. As soon as all the rafts docked, more than fifty barbarians rushed up first. Behind them, there were also a few small boats.
More than a hundred barbarians rushed out one after another, shouting some messy shouts and charging towards them.
In the blink of an eye, the Alexandrians proved a truth to the Chinese who relied on their superior equipment and first-class quality: in the face of absolute advantage, all conspiracies and tricks are just paper tigers.
The huge gap in numbers, coupled with the sudden attack, these well-trained Chinese warriors equipped with bronze swords and shields were slaughtered by the Alexanders in just a few encounters. Looking back at the invaders, only dozens of them suffered.
It was a minor injury, but no one was killed
The barbarians of the Pressure Mountain tribe did not kill all the fishermen and slaves because his purpose was not to target these people.
"Ahahahahahahahahahahaha" Alex stood in a courtyard of the stronghold, looking up to the sky and smiling.
When the mountains of supplies were completely displayed in front of everyone's eyes, everyone was stunned. For a moment, they didn't know what to do because they had never seen so many supplies since they were sensible.
Soon, almost in the blink of an eye, the Alexander tribesmen were like a locust party, moving all the rice, corn, potatoes, smoked fish, and looted bronze supplies stored in the stronghold.
The dozens of bronze swords and matching Teng shields were seized from the Chinese warriors.
"Chief, there used to be a lot of ships parked here, some of them very big. Why are there only these rafts and a few small boats today?" A tribesman asked in confusion.
"Oh, it's such a pity. If only Hachi'e and the others had come to attack earlier, we could have taken the opportunity to seize a few big ships." Alex was greedy and said in a rather depressed tone.
However, Alex discovered a problem when he boarded the raft. There were a lot of things he grabbed, but there was not enough boat for him to transport them back.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a tribesman who was about to burn the stronghold with a torch. Once he was done with it, Alex immediately yelled at the man: "Stop, you pig!"
Alex's loud shout immediately caused the tribesman to pull away the torch that was almost touching the thatch, and turned back to look at the tribe leader in confusion because in the past, they would rob a tribe and do this afterwards.
Like that tribe, the other barbarians also didn't understand why the leader was angry.
Alex said in a deep voice: "The Chinese have just left not long ago. If we light the fire now, won't the Chinese find that the stronghold has been attacked? Don't you see that it takes a lot of time to move so many supplies?"
Alex's words hit everyone's hearts word by word, and they suddenly realized
In the end, Alex decided to separate the supplies and carry some of them on rafts, while others carried some on foot. However, even so, there were still too many supplies. Alex began to complain about why he didn't bring more tribesmen. However,
In an emergency, Ma Xingtian and Alex ordered the tribesmen to move the materials on hand to a place about five miles away and hide them, and then go back and move them back and forth. I believe they can be emptied out if they go back and forth a few times.
Judging from the number of warriors sent by Alex to Hachi'e and Michel this time, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the Chinese to have time to return to the stronghold in the past few days. As long as Hachi'e and the others do not retreat, it should not be a problem to empty all the supplies from the stronghold.
Alex's guess was correct. The Chinese centurion stationed at this stronghold, Oku, had no time to leave at this moment. Because it was related to Hua Xi's trust in him, Oku led more than 400 infantry soldiers through the jungle quickly.
After blocking the way, Alex got what he wanted and stole all the supplies in the stronghold without any risk. According to later statistics, the supplies stored in the stronghold were enough to feed three thousand people for a month. It can be said that Alex
This time I made a small fortune and easily grabbed a huge trophy.
One day later, when Oku was commanding the soldiers on the front line to cooperate with the two tribes to attack Hachi'e and the others, he suddenly received news that the stronghold was attacked by a group of unknown barbarians. All the soldiers who stayed behind were killed in the battle, and all the stored supplies were evacuated.
When Oku, who had no intention of fighting, returned to the stronghold, he found that the entire stronghold was in a mess, with corpses everywhere, and not a single raft or boat was seen. It seems that the warehouse where the supplies were stored was taken away by the group of barbarians and was also empty.
In the past few days, those tribesmen who had fled into the mountains and forests came back one after another.
Oku was so angry that he was trembling all over. He thought that he had been hit by Zhagu, and the Zhaha clan's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain failed. In the following days, some clan members reported to him that after they fled into the mountains to avoid being hunted, they saw those things with their own eyes.
Did the barbarians leave in the northeast direction? Isn't that where the Gaoshan people originally lived? Could this matter have anything to do with the Gaoshan people?
Oku must figure this out as soon as possible because he knows that the tribe leader and the others are currently fighting against the Getian clan in the tribe, and he can no longer cause any trouble to the tribe. A week later, Oku learned from the mouth of Moore, the chief of the Gaoshan tribe.
, it turns out that Hachi'e and Michel came to attack them this time because they heard the instigation from the Alexandrians.
"Fuck, no need to ask, this must have been done by the Alexanders." The stronghold was boiling with excitement, and every soldier shouted in unison to kill the Alexanders.
However, Oku calmed down at this time. If he wanted to attack the Alexanders with hundreds of people, it would be impossible. It was not because they did not have enough fighting power, but because the stronghold still needed tribesmen to continue to maintain it.
What can be done by operating an army without supplies normally? Unless the Alexander tribe is right next to the stronghold, then they can take revenge immediately, but the Alexander tribe is in the northeast of Hong Kong Island, and it is several days away from here.
distance
Oku tried his best to temporarily stabilize everyone's mood, and the stronghold returned to normal operations again. However, there were some problems in the lives of the tribesmen. First of all, food alone gave Oku a headache. Rice cannot be grown on the seaside.
The fishing rafts were either smashed or taken away by the Alexandrians. It was difficult to build enough rafts to sustain the tribe's daily needs.
Fortunately, the mountain tribes and grassland tribes also showed their due spirit as allies at this time. They sent some food and fresh water, which barely allowed Oku and the others to build a small number of rafts before they starved to death. The time for self-reliance passed day by day.
, when the Chinese in the stronghold can barely maintain their self-reliance.
One day, Okuku, who was climbing a coconut tree to pick coconuts on the coast, suddenly heard bursts of enthusiastic cheers coming from the stronghold.
What's going on? These bastards are still in such a good mood and howling like crazy? Let's see how I deal with you! Oku is a little weak because he has been working under the scorching sun for many days. Now he finally climbed up the coconut tree and heard the clan members from the stronghold.
They started making noises like ghosts and wolves howling, and they were so angry that they landed on the soft and smooth sand with just a few movements.
"Sir, sir, ship... ship——" A young boy shouted as he ran towards Oku.
"What kind of ship is there? How can we have a ship? If you guys don't hurry up and get to work, then..." When Oku said this, he was also shocked by the scene that appeared in front of him.
On the calm and sunny sea surface, dozens of black ships broke through the barrier of water mist and appeared in his field of vision. In Oku's memory, there was no tribe other than his own Chinese tribe.
Can such "huge" and so many sea-going ships be produced?
After being silent for a cup of tea, Oku suddenly burst out in pain. As he ran into the stronghold, he shouted at the tribal leaders who were hugging each other in excitement: "Quick, quick! You bastards,
Get me dressed quickly. Why, is the sword in your hand sharpened?"
After entering the stronghold, Oku yelled at the soldiers along the way as he walked: "And you, are you going to greet the patriarch like this?"
Oku passed by a woodcutting pile and kicked a warrior on the butt. He yelled angrily: "You bitch, why are you standing here stupidly? Hurry up and prepare the clan flag, beat the drum and raise the flag.
Welcome the patriarch and the others!"
Amid Oku's roar and scolding, the tribesmen happily and quickly washed their dirty faces; they sorted out the mud and dust stuck to their leather clothes; the messy stronghold was quickly cleaned up - "Drumming -"
Amidst the long shouting, waves of long and low drums were beaten.
"Raise the flag and sing the national song!"
Under countless sun and rain, the beige Chinese flag was slowly raised. More than 400 soldiers who had gone through countless hardships were lined up from the stronghold to the dock, standing straight and straight, raising their heads and chests.
Although they suffered a lot during this period, their spirits became stronger and stronger, and the unique temperament of the Chinese people was constantly exuding from these stronghold soldiers.
As the clan flag was slowly raised, the passionate clan song was sung: "Rise up, people who don't want to be slaves——"
Hua Xi also came to Hong Kong Island in person after unifying the alliance
"Big boss, look"
In fact, needless to say, Hua Xi also saw a hazy stronghold in the distance early in the morning. There seemed to be many people standing there.
Soon, when the ship quickly approached the stronghold in the wind and waves, Hua Xi heard the familiar and exciting ethnic song. This ethnic song was transformed from the national anthem he stole from Nie Er and had long been familiar to the tribe.
Keep this in mind. Now, not only soldiers, but also ordinary tribesmen and children are the first thing to do after getting up every morning.
To strengthen the sense of belonging to the tribe, singing tribal songs is also one of the forms of education.
Amidst the enthusiastic welcome, Hua Xi, several elders of the Senate, priests of the ancestral temple, and Bai Zhan, who went out to sea for the first time by boat, landed on Hong Kong Island one by one.
Bai Zhan was deeply shocked by the ridiculous thing that there was actually a piece of land overseas. Since Bai Zhan joined the Chinese tribe, he had never entered a Chinese academy. Naturally, he was not exposed to much modern knowledge.
In my mind, I think that there is only one piece of land in the world, and the land is surrounded by a large area of water, which is what the tribesmen call the sea.
However, now Bai Zhan and seven or eight other elders and priests are really not interested in what is going on in the stronghold because they are dizzy and dizzy from the ship's lang. When they get off the ship, they still have to be carried directly by the sailors and sent directly to the stronghold to rest.

"Chief, I've been waiting for you!" Oku was so excited that he forgot to salute, grabbed Hua Xi's hands and held them tightly, saying
"Haha, I'm here right now! How about it? What's the situation on the island now?" Hua Xi said with a smile.
Later, after Oku and Hua Xi entered the largest wooden house in the stronghold, they reported everything that happened on the island to Hua Xi in detail, including the Alexander sneak attack on the stronghold.
After listening to Oku's story, Hua Xi laughed and said: "Don't be afraid of being attacked by a sneak attack. The most important thing is that you can't lose your head. You must remember that we have Huawei's master watching over us!"
When Oku heard that the clan leader had no intention of punishing him, he quickly replied loudly: "Yes, clan leader, all the men in my stronghold are still in high morale. If it weren't for our responsibilities, we would have rushed over to fight with the Alexanders."
Try your best!"
Hua Xi smiled and nodded, saying: "This time, I brought a large amount of supplies, which is enough for you to make up for the lost trade and food for a few months."
"Ah, chief, if this is the case, we can kill the Alexander tribe and avenge our shame!" Oku said bitterly.
"Well, those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are!" After Hua Xi said in a deep voice, Hua Xi suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "By the way, I want to announce something in public now. You must summon all the soldiers immediately!"
"Yes!" Oku bowed and immediately exited the house.
Half an hour later, when the tribesmen in the stronghold temporarily put aside their work and gathered on the beach outside the stronghold, Hua Xi had been waiting for a long time.
"Today, I want to announce something big to everyone.
