It is called a water war. In fact, the Chinese are equipped with a warship on every sea ship, which is a total of 17 warships, while the Alexanders have more than 60 rafts and ships. In this barbaric era,
Calling it a water battle is not an exaggeration at all.
Okufu, who had the opportunity to avenge his shame, was very excited when he heard Hua Xi's order. Without saying a word, he commanded the forty or fifty tribesmen stationed at the stronghold to put down the warships and get on board, and quickly opened up the formation.
meet the enemy
Because Hua Xi mainly wanted to take this opportunity to test the combat skills of the sailors, so he ordered the sailors on the ship to attack only when the opponent is close to the ship. Otherwise, they are not allowed to act rashly. Let's see how Oku does.
Use 17 small warships to fight the opponent's attack of more than 60 rafts
Facing the huge Alexander offensive, Oku and the sailors on the warship he led were fearless. In their eyes, the seemingly powerful Alexander offensive was simply vulnerable.
Different from the quality of the Chinese, the Alexander's raft looks overwhelming, but in fact it is extremely chaotic. Since they have just come into contact with the raft not long ago, and there is no targeted training like the Chinese, the Alexander's not only have average water skills, but also have
The coordination between the rafts was also quite chaotic, because the Alexanders were rushing towards each other in a swarm, and the distance between them was almost as long as you were leaning against me and I was leaning on you to move forward.
Before Oku and the others arrived, many rafts collided with each other. Once several rafts collided and got entangled, it would cause a series of collisions with other rafts around them, and Oku
The opportunity you've been waiting for is now
"attack!"
When Oku's order to attack was given, the 17 warships quickly divided into two teams and sailed past the flank of the Alexander fleet like nimble swimming fish.
Like the previous warships, the warship has not changed much in its development until now. It is still one person rowing the boat and two people are responsible for the attack. Due to the narrow hull and limited load, the most effective attack weapon similar to this offshore attack is still the most primitive.
weapon - stone
Whether it is offshore or deep-sea combat, the fastest and most effective way is not to maximize the damage to the enemy, but to simply smash through and sink the opponent's ships. The ship will sink, and the opponent's physical strength will naturally be reduced.
All of these points were brought up and reiterated by Hua Xi many times during the drill inspection at Sunset Castle. Almost even ordinary tribesmen who are not sailors know it, let alone these sailors who practice day and night.
When the two warships sailed past the flanks of the Alexanders like fast-moving fish, the sailors on each warship had already picked up a big stone the size of their head, waiting for the warship to pass the other side's raft.
Throw the stone in your hand at the opponent's raft
Alex, who was standing on the beach watching the battle, looked a little unhappy at this time because he saw that although he had many rafts, they moved slowly, and there was almost no room for movement between many rafts, which were tightly connected together.
The scoldings and cries for help from people due to collisions and falling into the water made him feel that the battle on the water seemed a bit overwhelming. Before he could think of any way to prevent this unfavorable factor from continuing to occur, the battle had already begun.
Oku held a stone bigger than his black face and shouted angrily: "Smash it with me——"
As soon as the word "smash" came out, the sailors who had been waiting for a long time waved their arms, and one stone after another was thrown towards the raft less than three meters in front of them. This scene was like a rain of stones. Alexander
There were six rafts on both sides of the flanks that were smashed to pieces almost instantly. As the straw ropes binding the rafts came loose, the rafts also disintegrated. Dozens of barbarians who were hit by stones screamed and fell into the water.
When the other Alexandrians gradually began to react and prepare to fight back, the attack fleet led by Oku passed by them as nimbly as a swimming fish, and then landed twenty or thirty meters away from the beach.
Drifting, the fleet left a white trail of water and turned back again, preparing to carry out the second attack.
Originally, no matter how bad the Alexandrians were, relying on the advantage of many people, one person and one stone would not suffer too much loss. However, the Alexandrians had no experience in fighting on the water. In their minds, the raft was
Get close, and then fight and kill them in close combat. Therefore, they did not carry weapons such as stones that can attack from a distance. As a result, the Alexandrians suddenly became a tiger without claws, and were attacked at will by Oku and the others.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang"
"Ouch-ah-ah!"
No matter how strong the Alexander's bravery and will were, the casualties on both sides were simply disproportionate. Oku's attacks in each round were able to sink 4-6 rafts on the other side, and the Alexander who fell into the water lost the threat.
There were as many as thirty or forty people. When the third consecutive wave of attacks was launched, Hua Xi's ship team also moved and the inspection was completed. Hua Xi naturally had no interest in watching Oku play this boring game with a layman.
Those 17 small boats alone can defeat so many of their rafts without any chance of fighting back. Now when even those 17 huge sea ships are pressing over like a mountain, the Alexandrians' first layer of defense - coastal defense has been
On the verge of collapse. What's more serious is that not only the Alexandrians' sea defenses collapsed, but also the psychological defenses of the barbarians watching from the shore gradually began to collapse.
When those 17 sea ships smashed into pieces the three or four rafts farthest from the coast like overlords, there was no suspense about the Alexander's defeat. They saw that the maritime power they had worked so hard to build was suddenly overtaken by the Chinese.
Most of the people were destroyed, and he was helpless. Alex finally couldn't bear the pressure and collapsed and shouted loudly to the tribesmen on the raft: "Abandon the raft and get ashore!"
Whether it was those tribesmen who finally swam back to the shore from the sea, or those who stood on the rafts and stared at what was happening in front of them, after hearing Alex's words, they immediately went to the shore without looking back.
Many tribesmen who fled back to the shore did not even sit on the raft, but jumped into the water and crawled back to the shore using their hands and feet.
Although most of these rafts were snatched from the Chinese and Gao Prairie tribes, for Alex, it was no less than having a piece of flesh ripped out of his own body, dripping with blood and heartbreaking.
When the sailors sent out to fight on the water returned to the shore, Alex made a rough estimate and couldn't help but look pale because he had lost at least 200 people in just a short period of time. Many people were floating on empty rafts.
The offshore waters are obviously completely controlled by the Chinese, and the chance of retrieval is very low.
However, even so, Alex still has the last hope for his chance of winning because there can be no less than seven or eight hundred young men and women on the shore. As long as these Chinese people get off the boat, he will lead a group of people to swarm the general.
They chopped it into pieces so that they could vent their hatred
When Hua Xi stood on the high bow of the ship and saw that the beach was full of barbarians, including men and women, some holding stone axes, some holding wooden clubs, and some holding bone spears, she couldn't help but frown and thought to herself.
: These people are all honest and honest barbarians. It would be a bit too evil to kill them all. However, if you don’t kill them, your own people are not invulnerable. They may be attacked and killed by the opponent at any time.
Hua Xi had no doubt at all. Even if he was wearing bronze armor and hit a few times with those fist-thick wooden sticks, he would probably have to go to the hospital for observation. If he was hit by those stone axes on the fatal part, he would probably have a bloody head.
Even end in death
The hostility between the two sides is getting higher and higher as the distance continues to get closer. The soldiers on both sides are holding their weapons tightly and focusing all their attention on the other side.
"Chief, they are standing on the edge of the beach. It is difficult for us to get off the ship and land on the beach. It is not good for us!" Oku stood on the warship and shouted to Hua Xi who was standing on the sea ship dozens of meters away.
Hua Xi pondered for a moment and said loudly: "Fire arrows and prepare to land!"
"Here!"
The rain of arrows quickly rose from 17 ships and fell on the heads of the Alexanders. The rain of hundreds of sharp arrows was not like the rain of stones and arrows just now, which hit Alexander like a violent storm.
People, countless screams and groans immediately sounded
After a round of arrows, the beach that was originally crowded by the Alexander people was suddenly emptied out. Alex dragged his injured left hand and directed the tribesmen to retreat, leaving behind only over a hundred moaning and dead people.
The tribesmen were isolated and helpless on the beach, crying in pain
Hua Xi didn't plan to go on a killing spree, he just thought about how to kick as many tribes as possible into his tribe and strengthen himself. When more than 600 warriors holding bronze swords and wearing leather armor and holding Teng shields completely landed, Hua Xi
Xi didn't stay too long and immediately ordered his tribe to surround the Alexander tribe's camp.
Of course, a tribe with thousands of people cannot be surrounded by just 600 people. However, Hua Xi did not completely surround it. Instead, he concentrated all his troops at the entrance of the opponent's village to deal with these low-civilized tribes. He did not need to use too much force.
For more force, just sticks and carrots are enough
When all the Alexandrians heard the news and gathered at the entrance of the village, looking out at the mysterious army in front of them, a man slowly walked out of the Chinese army. This man's clothes were different from those of ordinary Chinese soldiers.
There are no weapons or leather armor on his hands, but looking at the clothes that are obviously much more elegant, Alex feels that this person's status is definitely not low among the Chinese.
Sure enough, Alex heard the man strolling to a place a few dozen meters in front of his village and shouting loudly: "I am a devout believer of the Great God Huahua. Priest Jang Jin of the Hong Kong Island stronghold is under the orders of the envoy of my god.
I am here to urge you to surrender, quickly put down your weapons, convert to my god, and join our tribe!"
This priest was originally a missionary in the Sunset Fort Ancestral Temple. Hua Xi brought him to Hong Kong Island last year and has been preaching here since then, spreading theology and some knowledge to the locals because it facilitates the exchanges between the local people, such as the mountain and grassland tribes and tribes.
He made a lot of contributions, and Zhongliang, the chief priest of the tribal ancestral temple, promoted him to the chief priest of Hong Kong Island. Although he is currently responsible for the priests and missionaries of Hong Kong Island, his daily work is far more laborious than that of Chinatown and other places.
The priests in the second city had a much harder time, but this man still worked hard without complaining, and Hua Xi also had a good impression of him.
