Chapter 570: Defeated in One Blow

Sun Yue had been in control of the movements of the natives in the past few days, and in fact, when the natives arrived in this area, he knew that war would almost inevitably break out, the difference was only in the point at which point it broke out.

There was a buffer of 3 days, which was enough, and after the natives had gathered, he was on the building, giving a flag order to all the scouts, and they left the area and went to the rear.

This has been planned for a long time, and for these professional and trained scouts, the dense forest is their stage.

There are only more than 30 investigators, and it is possible to transfer them back to the headquarters, not to say that it is impossible, as long as this side cooperates a little, there is no need to pay much price.

But what is the use of these people getting back to the headquarters, after all, their specialty lies in concealment and assassination, not in fixed defense, in fixed defense, their strength may not be much stronger than others.

The natives came with 2,000 people and brought some supplies, and they didn't know if there would be a grain route, but they always had to contact the stockade, and these investigators gathered together to form a strong force responsible for cutting off the food route or investigating where the natives' stockade was.

After these orders were issued, Sun Yue didn't pay attention, more than 30 people, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, his purpose is still to fall, now, in the upcoming battle, 2000 people against 400, it seems that there is a huge disparity in numbers, but he is definitely the one who has the upper hand.

At this point, he sent personnel out to fight against the natives in the field, not to mention the building and various protective forces to rely on.

However, these scouts still have one last job, which is to set fire to the surrounding area where a large number of trees have piled up.

This should not be an easy thing for the Northern Song Dynasty, wood is easy to burn, but this is tolerant, it is dry wood, after reaching the ignition point, it can be burned, and the subsequent wood will be used as fuel, once there is wind cooperation, it will immediately form a raging fire.

The freshly cut wood is not easy to ignite because of the dampness, but Ding Haijun has other accelerants.

Ding Haijun simply chemical, cracked a part of the oil, to put it bluntly, the current level, and there is no need to accurately determine whether gasoline or diesel, as long as it is decomposed into easy to burn, it is fine.

For ignition, you don't need too much oil, one or two barrels are enough, and there are almost 7 places where the wood is stacked, and there are also these oils around, as long as the investigators go over, after pouring gasoline for a short time, they will ignite, even if it is a downpour, they may not be able to extinguish them.

This was planned beforehand, not only to clear enough vision, but also to cut down all the surrounding trees that could be used.

Giant trees, often the most important materials, can be crafted into a variety of siege tools.

For the natives, they use wood and build engineering tools, and some of them are looked up to, even the most common siege tools must use a part of the iron parts to link, so as to make the entire siege tools more powerful.

The natives didn't even have metal weapons, let alone siege tools, but the natives used it simply, and that was to attack the walls with giant logs.

The wall is made of several layers of bricks, and there is no steel in the middle, so it may be difficult to threaten the wall by other methods, but if you attack with a giant tree that exceeds a certain size, it still has a certain effect.

It was impossible for Sun Yue to clean up the entire Ryukyu giant trees, but the ones that were nearby, at least within a radius of 3 miles, were basically cleaned up, and these things were gathered together, some of them were useful and sent to the settlements, and the rest were piled together to form 7 parts.

The scouts are very good, these places are not the focus of the natives, they have not yet realized that they have to use this wood, and then it only takes a small spark and these are ignited.

The black smoke from the gasoline burning rose up, and the sudden appearance of 7 fires startled the natives, but there was nothing else, just these things burned, and after the fire was intense, the investigators withdrew.

The burning of 7 piles of wood means that there are no more giant trees that can be used within a radius of 5 miles, and the largest one is only about two inches.

The burning of the fire head made the attack of the natives slow down slightly, and after seeing the surroundings clearly, it was not aimed at them, they still came up, dozens of people were killed and wounded, and there were young village owners, so the engraved hatred made them rush over the first time they found out.

From a distance, it looks like the building is not very eye-catching, 15 meters high, compared to the average tall trees, are a little inferior, let alone the peak, but when they really got closer, they found that it was a huge village, it seemed that the walls of the village were quite high, and there was no protection to say.

For the natives, how did such a tall building appear here, they don't understand, and they don't know why the building can be built so high, but as long as they know that this is a man-made building, the rest is to break down.

They had carefully searched the surrounding area for more than a hundred miles, and there was nothing suspicious in the surroundings, they were the largest mountain tribe around, and almost everything that could be included in their tribe was included in their tribe.

The Gaoshan tribe regards the plain as a forbidden place, and even their own clansmen rarely go to the plain, and now on the plain, there is such a building, or it is built artificially, then it must be an enemy.

The natives have no tradition, their tradition is that they will be repaid, and dozens of people who died at once were all tribal laborers, and this must be washed away with blood.

Sun Yue was in the camp, listening to the results reported by the scouts, to be honest, he didn't expect that the other party actually gave 10 days, and in the 10 days, they not only accumulated 10 days of food, which was obtained from continuous hunting and even fishing, and some other necessities were also prepared.

The most important thing is that a transport ship brought a large number of supplies, although they also set off after the report, not knowing that there was a war here in the Ryukyus, but they still left most of the supplies, and a group of personnel.

The transport ships of the Dinghai Navy to the Ryukyus are all fully equipped or even a little more, which is to prepare for possible storms and waves.

Chinese-style sailing ships, their transportation volume is relatively large, and the relative use of personnel is less, but under full matching, a ship will be equipped with about 150 people, let alone 40 people, even if 70 people are transferred, it will not affect the next voyage.

At present, about 40 people are drawn from one ship, and 80 people from two ships, and these sailors who have undergone basic training and have been fighting in the wind and waves all year round may not be able to compare with the direct generals of the Dinghai Navy in terms of combat effectiveness, but in fixed buildings, they have no problem in wars based on buildings.

After the reform of the Ding Navy, all kinds of steel equipment can be easily forged through various means, and when they are sent, there are only more than 400 people, but all kinds of equipment are enough to equip 1,000 people.

In this time, not to mention the increase of nearly 100 people, even if it is a good increase in strength, not to mention, there are still a large number of supplies, food and basic supplies left, and construction materials are taken away, at this time, this supply port can only bear the military use, can not bear anything else.

The construction materials have been transported, and it is a waste of capacity to transport them away, but the settlement has no capacity, so that all the goods are unloaded, just leave the necessary things behind, and the surplus, the construction materials, will be transported back to Quanzhou, after processing, they will return directly to the Dinghai Navy, even if there is already a ship, go back to report the news, but for the sake of safety, there are still at least 3 reports, and I think it should not be missed.

In Sun Yue's heart, of course, what he is looking forward to the most is that the first ship will report the success, each ship, the time of their departure, is 7 days apart, and the first time it will be successful, which means that the Ding Navy will be notified the fastest, and they will send reinforcements the fastest, really to the last ship, purely in time, it is already more than 20 days later, which is not what Sun Yue wants to see.

Because this means that Sun Yue must guard for 20 more days, for more than 20 days, this is no problem, and even with enough materials, he can continue to defend it, but now, the first thing to bear the brunt of is to solve the enemy in front of him.

After the natives discovered the settlement, if the two sides could communicate, they could talk, but in fact, there was no need to talk, after the death of the son of the owner of the village, it represented a contradiction between the two sides, which was somewhat irreconcilable, and the war broke out.

In fact, in Sun Yue's view, the attacks of the natives could not be more simple, and there was no rule at all.

The islands are often a relatively closed environment, there is no communication with the outside world, and it is completely self-sustaining and barbaric growth, and the development of the natives is the most elementary stage, to put it bluntly, the combat effectiveness of the natives is still in the moment of using the most ordinary tools, which can be seen from a large number of wooden tools.

At this time, let alone the Northern Song Dynasty, even if it was further back, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and even the time when Wu and Yue fought for hegemony, they could beat the natives, the reason is very simple, the natives don't know how to smelt at all, and they don't even have bronzes.

The reinforced concrete structure is comparable to steel, and even metal weapons cannot be helped, let alone wooden tools.

The natives may think that these tall walls are similar to their cottages, but in fact, this thing is as solid as stone, even if you hold a metal sledgehammer and smash it all around, it may not be able to produce much effect, wooden tools, it is difficult.

Not to mention, the natives are also attacking in a disorderly manner. After discovering the target, they pounced directly, there was no investigation, no camp, and even the method of attack, they all rushed up in a swarm, like a small-scale brawl, even more than a war,

If it is an ordinary camp, in the face of such a swarm of attacks from the natives, it may be in a hurry, and even accidentally will be attacked by these natives.

This is also why the natives have such a way, because this native, who is also famous in the surrounding war, can draw 2,000 strong men at one time, and the total number of indigenous tribes should be at least more than 15,000, which is a very large tribe.

Later, at the end of the war, the captives said that this indigenous tribe, with 23,000 people, occupied almost the entire mountainous region of northern Ryukyu and was the strongest in the surrounding area.

In the entire huge mountain forest, there are not no other aborigines, but in the basin of Taipei, there are really none, and some are either killed by this tribe or driven away.

Sun Yue was quite cautious when fighting, and did not choose to be careless because he had a huge advantage in all aspects, he strictly followed the rules of war, not only cleared enough vision, but also cleared the surrounding giant trees, even if the other party ran close, there was no way to attack the city wall.

In fact, attacking a well-defended camp with high and low fire points, barbed wire, and a host of other protective devices is really a matter of life.

These natives rushed forward without hesitation, and after approaching 200 steps, they were attacked by the first wave of longbows, only more than 200 longbows, not too dense, but they were also elite forces, and under a few rounds, they produced considerable damage.

There were dead people, and quite a lot of them, under a rain of arrows, a dozen corpses were dropped, and after losing more than a hundred people in a row, the attack stopped, and when they were still about 40 steps away from the wall, they turned around and ran.

Sun Yue, who was standing on top of a tall building, almost didn't believe his eyes, before, his actions were not too conservative, he had known that it was such a result, he would have adjusted another strategy a long time ago, even in the field, he might not have lost.

In such a battle, turn around and run, isn't this the target, the longbow continued to attack, kept extending and shooting, from 40 steps, to 300 steps, until it ran out of range, the natives had dispersed, the first exploratory attack, the natives lost at least 150 people, which can be seen from the corpses on the road, and all kinds of tools and materials, lost everywhere, obviously, a blow and crushed.

Even Sun Yue saw that because of the relationship between fleeing from the road, the natives also clashed with each other, and under the cannibalism, dozens of more injured people were injured.
