Chapter 501: Murder and Arson
The results were terrible and gratifying.
It's not just how much money I get, but I found dozens of Han girls who were robbed, basically all Han women in Yada City, after being rescued at this time, they cried with joy, and some even thought about committing suicide, of course, they were stopped.
It's a pity that the battle was not well thought out, and no female soldiers were carried, but fortunately, these women were not paid attention to, and these women were protected as first-class meritorious deeds.
Only a small number of guards on the other side of the West Gate, after discovering that there were gunshots inside the stockade and had already attacked the village, immediately abandoned the West Gate and fled, so that they were not eliminated by the Council of Elders, and almost all the enemies in the rest of the stockade became prisoners.
The entire assault battalion also arrived just in time after Hu Sanqi captured the gate of the Bandung Walled City, and directly led his troops to rush into the Bandung Walled City, and at this time, the entire Bandung Walled City had regained stability.
After Hu Sanqi led his troops to capture all of them, he strictly restrained his subordinates, did not allow the soldiers to have any plundering actions, but only ordered martial law and no one was allowed to walk on the streets, and began to work under the orders of the battalion headquarters.
First of all, for those chiefs who did bad things in Yada City and slaughtered the Han people, and then luckily ran away here, as well as their younger brothers, they were not so polite, after controlling the situation, they immediately raided the chiefs who had made the blood and wealth of the Han people, don't look at the small Wanlong Village, just from the more than 100 families to confiscate silver and other property, it is enough to tens of thousands of taels, and at the same time copied out tens of thousands of catties of grain, this time things are more calm.
Wait until three days later, the best Lori and the pretty girl in the village are sent to the beach and transported back to the town guard's house, and the corpses in the village are naturally all over the field, of course, the recruits are inexperienced, and the corpses are everywhere, which annoys the battalion commander and criticizes it fiercely, and then Hu Sanqi and others finally understand, drive the natives to dig pits, bury the previous batch of natives, and then let the new batch of natives dig pits, bury the previous batch of natives who have just buried others, it is right.
The natives north of the village to guard against the attack of the Han army were quite shocked by the news that the Bandung Village was suddenly attacked and lost, you know, from the south of Yada City, more than 100 miles are primeval jungles, there are no roads, rugged and difficult to walk, that history, the Dutch only slowly mastered the whole territory of Java Island after a hundred years.
When the natives heard this, they were shocked, the Han people who were originally hellish devils in the woods, the infestation of insects, the cycle of sun and heavy rain, coupled with the inability to ensure the timely delivery of food, were already in trouble, especially those who had been killed by firearms from Yada City, and all of them fled in panic at this time.
A few days ago, it had been killed once, and then the indigenous villages on the north shore a little closer to the coastline were all under the command of the town guard, and they were cleaned up one by one by boat, thinking that they would leave the coast and run to the south, so far away from the jungle, it was not easy to walk, and it should be calm for a while, but I never thought that a group of terrible Han troops were killed from the south, and they were merciless and kept slaughtering.
Something happened, naturally there are all kinds of ideas, birds and beasts are scattered, and there are not a few who fight back to save people, you know, although the place is very large, but the productivity is extremely low, how many people can survive without the crowd? Especially now, the long and narrow islands that resemble a fritter were originally fought from north to south, and there was some trouble, but if the ships could go around and fight around the coastline, it would really mean where to fight.
There are quite a few brave aborigines, do not dare to slack off, immediately rectify the gang, to quickly recover Bandung Village, otherwise, it is difficult to have a road in the north and south, and Bandung Village is an important passage connecting the east and west of Java Island, if you do not recover it quickly, then the consequences will be very serious, even if it is an indigenous, without organization to drill the jungle, it basically means death.
Of course, the disadvantages of poor mathematics of the indigenous people have appeared again, and they will only say that there are not many people, just the number of people in such and such a village, which makes the natives who are not sober-minded think that there is still a chance.
On the fifth day of Hu Sanqi's landing and the third day of his invasion of Bandung Village, when the battalion headquarters suddenly issued an order to stop the execution, there were not many remaining indigenous high-ranking people.
And the army of the indigenous Wuyang Wuyang in the distance has no queue and a variety of weapons, but the number of people is not more than 10,000? Coming in the direction of Wanlong Village, those head people, originally wanted to rely on the jungle to resist the attack of the gray-clothed devils in the north, only to know that this time the people who escaped from Wanlong Village said that the enemy's strength is only a few hundred people, I have more than 10,000 cannon fodder here, fight back, hurry back, those gold and silver, run to the east, but where did they prepare siege equipment, where do they know that this time the town guard did not send a large army, but they are all elite, and the equipment prepared in advance can be said to be very sharp.
When these natives appeared on the way to Bandung Village in the north of the village, they encountered an attack of poisonous smoke and suffered heavy losses before they reached Bandung Village.
The Nanyang jungle in the dry season is very prone to forest fires, on the one hand, the rain is gradually decreasing, on the other hand, the sun is still very poisonous sometimes, and it is Hu Sanqi's forward company that ignites the fire in a small group, his company has suffered greater losses and physical exertion, and was appointed by the company commander to be a reserve for defense, but the matter of the attack is handed over to them, so that other companies can seize the time to repair their defenses, of course, it is actually the natives themselves who do the work.
In later generations, the gas was actually colorless and odorless.
But in order to protect people, some chemical raw material odorants are added to it, which causes a very bad smell, so that when the gas leaks, people can feel bad at the first time, and from this point of view, it is still good.
The poisonous smoke was some kind of medicinal powder, sprinkled on the branches and leaves, and when the natives were babbling and passing by in groups of three or five to retake Bandung, the scouts had already lit a fire and ran away to the south.
Because they were in too much of a hurry, these natives themselves did not notice the situation of the forest fire, and it was commonplace to notice it, so naturally some people went to think of extinguishing the fire, the water content of the primeval jungle was actually extremely rich, but this itself was a perennial road, and it was easy to deal with.
But ten of those who went to put out the fire died, and the closer they came to the main road, the more they smelled it, and how far they went, they foamed at the mouth, and fell there, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Therefore, when the natives who did not know the situation hurried to Bandung Village, they inevitably suffered heavy losses on the way, until the xxxx in the flames was gradually digested, and the natives who found the wrong situation caused a riot, ran away partly, and died partly, and the others found that after the forest fire disappeared, they approached nothing, but they didn't dare to clean up, and ran away directly.
And Hu Sanqi because he was a reserve, but he was not idle, there were many wounded in his team, but there were more than 80 intact people, so he quickly cleared the large area of land north of the village, took the wood, and commanded the remaining natives to drag it back, so that the other brothers could strengthen the defense, and after those natives arrived, there was no one within two or three hundred meters north of the stockade, and there were no woods to cover it.
How do the natives understand these corners, but after arriving in the north of the village, Wanlong Village is very different.
It is said that it is a stockade, but in fact it is a rake pulled up by branches, and the main purpose is to guard against wild beasts, and the weak point can almost directly enter people.
But now, this village is completely different, there is a deep ditch in front of the village, there is more than one, the whole village also has more wood, the aborigines led the team is the parents are on the northern coast, and the town guard is even the pot end, which can be called bitter and bitter, the most forward aborigines are a little closer to the deep ditch, and they are knocked over by the evil yellow devil dense row of guns behind the fence, and he is angry and scolds.
Of course, these natives are not stupid, they are prepared.
There is nothing else on Java Island, all kinds of expensive timber, it is everywhere, and you don't even have to farm, cut down these expensive timber well, transport it back to China, naturally there are big bosses who buy it at a sky-high price to make furniture and longevity wood, in fact, this is the first pot of gold for Nanyang immigrants to make a fortune, and when countless people boast about themselves in the future, they all say that they want to think that back then, my ancestors took that piece of land, if those woods were left to this day, any one would be worth millions!
The natives hastily sawed off the wood, but they made shields one by one and held them in front of them, so that what the elders didn't expect was that it actually worked!
The shields, which were more than a man tall, were carried forward by two people, and a dozen projectiles fell on them with a whistling sound, but they did no damage.
It seems that after suffering numerous losses, the indigenous people are also growing.
The battalion headquarters hurriedly turned its troops and horses to meet the natives, but the natives advanced like a wall, this momentum was the only one he had ever seen in his life, although the formation was still noisy and unorthodox, but it did make the bullet effect of the Mauser gun very average.
Again, human weapons are tools for slaughtering each other, not to fight something that is taller than a person, a meter wide, and thicker than a fist, of course, if the elders are willing to equip them with heavy machine guns or anti-materiel weapons, they can still fight back, but how is it possible.
When the natives walked sixty or seventy meters in front of the stockade, they encountered a panic.
The presbyterians marched and arranged a lot of troops, the place should be clean and open, the ground should be checked for hidden passages and gunpowder buried in advance, the nearby water source should be living water, and it is best to have a hillside or commanding height.
It is possible to create a high point without a commanding height.
Therefore, the two 10-meter-high observation towers built by driving the indigenous captives can be regarded as meritorious service.
And standing on it, the sharpshooter hit such a dense target, it was simply easy. With a series of gunshots like bursting beans, suddenly behind the shield, the natives were knocked down a lot, and they were all directly hit in the head, but the poor natives behind had many people from tribes with relatively high status, and they originally wanted to follow behind, it was very safe, and when the cannon fodder in front of them died almost, they went over to pick up the cheap, who knew that they were the ones who died first.
Those natives rushed forward, but the natives had already been in contact with the rogue tactics of the elder army, and those whites actually dealt with them in this way, but the firearms of the white people, how could these yellow devils be so vicious, and the firepower of the elders' church was a hundred times stronger than the hundred people they had seen.
And the recruits also saw the flaw, it turned out that the shield was very cumbersome, and to move forward, the two of them needed to move it together, which gave a momentary gap, although it was not large, but it was enough for the gun.
High in the air and on the ground, shooting at the natives back and forth, the firepower is endless, but those natives are gritting their teeth and insisting, constantly replenishing the manpower, and the crowd is more dense, and the big tree shield is also paying attention to no longer raising, although it is more physically demanding, but the rotation speed is faster, and it is better.
When the people behind also raised the sticks and other things in their hands, the loss was not large, and they were closer to the stockade.
Ahead is the deep ditch.
In fact, they are all indigenous excavations, about more than one meter deep and two meters wide, but the length is quite enough, for this deep ditch, but more than a dozen indigenous people who are not sober in their heads and want to escape have died.
Soon, as soon as the shields were toppled over the deep ditch and turned into a wooden bridge for crossing, the natives would pounce on them.
But suddenly countless black iron balls appeared in the middle of the air, and they were thrown behind the plank, and the crowd that squeezed Ai Ai like canned sardines.
In order to protect themselves from bullets overhead, they themselves rely on each other, protect, and only think they are safe.
"Boom ......"
A grenade that guaranteed to have 300 fragments for each one went off!
The natives left at least two or three thousand corpses behind and fled back into the woods, and in the process, the shields were discarded and their backs were placed on the backs, and it took only about two quarters of an hour to complete the rupture.
Unfortunately, most of the natives were almost frightened and wanted to run.
However, there are always natives who are not afraid of death, who curse and curse, and of course they are those clichés, and if they do not obey the commands of my God, they will kill you and send you to Hell.
In order to fight back, the natives are notifying everywhere, and there are many natives from all walks of life, in order to recruit people, but they are boasting that the gold and silver in the Bandung village are piled up in the valley, and everyone comes to make a fortune.
The natives' messaging system is like this, and there are people who really come out like this.
And there are a slight problems with bullets and supplies, and the assistance from the rear is also delayed, mainly because there are natives from all directions, who seem to peep after hearing the news, and the reinforcements escorting the baggage are still behind.
Hu Sanqi said eagerly: "Battalion commander, it's better to take the initiative and kill a few of his guys to subdue these natives, let's evacuate, mainly a dozen wounded, we have to hurry up and take care of them." "TOEFL, the wounded in the team are well protected, but there are a few people with broken bones, but they need to be protected.
He knew that there were many boats on the south side at this time, and if he had passed, the wounded would have been treated.
However, there is also too much that needs to be done, and the corpses of the indigenous people must be buried, otherwise it is too easy to breed germs and pests in such a place.
