Chapter 305: Exploring Yizhou
"No." Zhou Tai immediately went down and selected a hundred elite soldiers, and then looked at Mu Bane, meaning that he should give him a guide so that he could go to the Watson clan to fight.
But Mubane's face was full of doubts, and after hesitating for a moment, he plucked up the courage to say: "General, it's not that I don't believe in this general. It's really that your number is too small, but there are 600 men in the prime of life, six times as many as them. It's better to wait for me to straighten out all the middle-aged men of our tribe, and then go out with these military masters, so that we can also guarantee that we will win, otherwise, once the general is defeated, I am afraid that it will lose the face of the Han court. ”
Chen Wu smiled and said, "Patriarch don't worry, I have absolute confidence in my subordinates, and even I have the confidence to send more than a hundred people." ”
"What?" Mu Bane was in disbelief in front of the confident Chen Wu, and was suddenly stunned. He didn't believe at all that no matter how elite the opponent's army was, it would be impossible to defeat an enemy six times his size, right? Why is this person so big, and how can Mubane not worry?
Mu Bane couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, but seeing the confidence on the other party's face, he knew that he couldn't persuade at all, so he had to call and say to a muscular man behind him: "Lu Muxiu, you go and accompany this General Zhou to the Watsons tribe, remember, this time you have to listen to this General Zhou's orders." ”
Lu Muxiu nodded, and Mu Bane explained to Chen Wu with a smile: "This is Lu Muxiu, the number one warrior in my tribe, and he can also speak some Chinese, so let him General Zhou go to the Watsons tribe." ”
After that, Zhou Tai led a hundred elite soldiers to follow Lu Muxiu to the Watsons tribe, and after about two hours, Mu Bane heard a commotion outside the tribe, and his face couldn't help but be full of sorrow.
But at this moment, I saw a figure flash in, and said something to Mubane. The latter couldn't help but be shocked, and said to the man in Chinese: "What did you say? Lu Muxiu, you say it again, I can't hear me wrong, right? ”
Lu Muxiu said in a not very fluent Chinese dialect: "Patriarch, I can't be wrong, General Zhou sent me to challenge the Watsons clan. When I ran to the mountain pass, a hundred of them shot the Watsons clan with crossbow arrows, and when the Watsons clan was in chaos, they immediately came to the mountain pass and slaughtered the Watsons clansmen, and in less than an hour they killed all the six hundred strong men of the Watsons clan. General Zhou asked his sergeants to escort the women and children over, and now they were outside the tribe. ”
Mubane was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly walked out of the cave to take a look outside the tribe, and sure enough, he saw hundreds of women and children being escorted by the extremely well-equipped soldiers, but he still had an expression of disbelief: "Huh? It really won! This, this, the army of the Han Dynasty is really a divine soldier! ”
Mubane invited Chen Wu to the main seat of the tribe's inner square, gathered all the tribesmen together, and said excitedly in the indigenous language: "God bless, our tribe has welcomed honored guests. This is General Chen from the Great Han Dynasty, who used only a hundred warriors to destroy our great rival Watsons. From now on, our whole tribe must be loyal to our master, and there shall be no disrespect? Whoever does not obey will betray the whole tribe, and I will punish him severely for treason. ”
After Mubane finished speaking, he saw that all those subordinates knelt on the ground and called Chen Wu their master.
After listening to Lu Muxiu's translation, Chen Wu stood up and said to the natives: "General Ben is just an ordinary general under the command of Han Xuan, Marquis of Chu. He is the right general of my Han and the overlord of the south, and he is the one you will be loyal to. ”
Mu Bane translated Chen Wu's words to the clansmen, and then knelt down to the north with the clansmen in the tribe, calling Han Xuan's official position and calling him the master.
Chen Wu nodded with satisfaction and asked towards Mubane, "Patriarch Mubane, this matter has been resolved, I wonder when we will be able to leave for Yizhou?" ”
Mu Bane said respectfully: "General Qiyu, there are still more than a hundred miles away from Yizhou here. It's not possible today, it's better to set off early tomorrow morning, as long as we set off at high tide, we will arrive at Yizhou in less than two days. ”
Early the next morning, Mubane personally led Chen Wu's fleet and set off for Yizhou, and when he saw the huge fleet under Chen Wu's command, his face turned pale with fright, because he had never seen such a large ship.
Chen Wu sailed east under the guidance of Mubane, and the day passed quickly. The next day, the sea level was white, and Chen Wu and the others saw a vast continent in front of them, which looked like it was about six or seven hundred miles long.
Chen Wu's army soon came to the shore, and after nearly half a year of hard searching, they finally found the rumored Yizhou. Chen Wu stepped on this land and said with emotion: "The Wanwan area has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times, and from today onwards, I, Chen Wu, will include it in the territory of the Han Dynasty!" ”
However, Chen Wu did not let his guard down, and he strictly ordered everyone to prepare before disembarking from the ship, and hold the weapons in their hands to prevent the local natives from launching a surprise attack on them.
Sure enough, as Chen Wu expected, as soon as their army got off the boat, they heard a burst of shouts and killings in the distance, and the soldiers followed the shouts and kills, only to see that thousands of local natives were killing them.
Chen Wuxin said that these should be the indigenous Gaoshan people of Yizhou, but the soldiers under Chen Wu's command used iron armor and steel helmets, while the spears used by the Gaoshan people were made of animal horns, and the arrows were made of bluestone, and they had no training, so they could not resist the offensive of Chen Wu's army, so they had to retreat one after another.
Chen Wu looked at Zhou Tai beside him and said, "Youping, they will be handed over to you and your own people." Remember, this time we are here to deter, not kill. ”
Zhou Tai led hundreds of elite soldiers to rush straight towards those natives, Zhou Tai held a big knife in his hand, and he was like a tiger rushing into the flock, and those natives fought hard.
The bluestone arrows that the natives had worked so hard to make shot at Zhou Tai's body, all of them fell to the ground without exception, and Zhou Tai didn't even frown from beginning to end.
Zhou Tai's bravery made Mu Bane, who was watching the battle, deeply admired, and although the soldiers around Zhou Tai were obviously different from their generals, they were still able to kill those indigenous people with one as ten.
Zhou Tai and the soldiers were not afraid of the rudimentary weapons in the hands of those natives, coupled with their crazy killing, their bravery and made those natives directly frightened as soon as they came up, and they were soon crushed by Zhou Tai's team.
Zhou Tai saw that the natives were defeated, and they covered up from behind the battle, and after killing more than 100 people again, Ming Jin withdrew his troops, and then turned back together and returned to Chen Wu.
Once again, Mu Bane was deeply impressed by the amazing fighting power displayed by Chen Wu's army, he had long heard that this Yizhou Island was rich in products, but the number of natives on the island was very large. How could he dare to compete with them as a small tribe, so although he knew that he was only more than a hundred miles away from this treasure island, he never dared to take half a step.
Chen Wu's army quickly disembarked and came to the island, and then built a series of military camps, and not long after the military camps were set up, Mubane saw a soldier of Chen Wu's army come to his tent, saying that Chen Wu had asked him to hurry over.
Mubane immediately rushed to Chen Wu's tent with the soldier, and only then did he know the reason why he was invited, it turned out that the local chieftain of Yizhou after the defeat personally went to the military camp to apologize to Chen Wu.
The Pinghu Island, where Mubane is located, is only a hundred miles away from here, and the language between the two sides is similar, and Mubane's translation is very similar.
The chief chattered, and Mubane hurriedly helped the translator: "The villain is Askar, the chief of the Makhanon tribe on Yizhou Island, and today he charged the army led by Your Excellency, and he really deserves death. Therefore, I have come to make amends to you, and please don't be surprised and allow us to reconcile. ”
Lu Dai sneered and said: "You are a small citizen of Xiabang, and you will attack our army when you don't know the enemy or us, it's really a grasshopper shaking a tree!" Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. Although Yizhou is a narrow land, it is also under the control of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty. Today, our army is here, is to declare the authority of the Son of Heaven, now General Chen Wu was ordered by the Marquis of Chu to govern the people of Er and other people, hoping that you and others will cooperate with General Chen to open up Yizhou, so that Er and others can also take a peek at the leopard to see what is the weather of the Celestial Empire, the state of etiquette. ”
