Chapter 572: The Comeback Comes From

In the midst of uncertainty, Sun Yue can only continue to increase his strength, for example, collecting food, the nearby prey, have been hunted, and there are very few groups, but in the sea, there are still a lot, fishing every day, without too many people, it is in Taipei Bay, and it is relatively safe, but there is not much harvest.

In the face of the threat of war, no amount of preparation can be overstated, and in the future, the natives may not be dispatched, but once they are dispatched, then the intensity must be very high.

2,000 people were easily defeated, then 2,000 people will definitely not work, whether it is 4,000 or 8,000, it is not accurate, I just hope that the reinforcements can come quickly.

In Sun Yue's room, the calendar was circled again and again, it had been more than 25 days, and there were only five days left from the fastest 30 days.

As far as the heart is concerned, the possibility of 5 days is really not big, the Navy is too far away from the Ryukyus, and warships are not the same as transport ships, 1 month is definitely the fastest, and a little delay is not a month.

It is impossible for Sun Yue to put his mind on this, the biggest possibility is more than a month, or even a month and a half.

The only thing that is fortunate is that he has defeated the attack of the natives, or at least in the course of these days, he has bought some more time, and I hope this time can be spent safely.

Calm, training, integration, and increasing the strength of the defense as much as possible, not only the defense, but also the training of those sailors, and some strong men, is also going on.

The weapons of the Dinghai Navy are very good, but it doesn't mean that an adult man can play a role if he picks up these weapons.

The simplest, of course, is to wear heavy armor and protect from high places, so that as long as you wear armor, you can do it.

Sun Yue wants more than that, in such a race against time, he needs his subordinates to be familiar with orders and do what they order.

Nervous, depressed, crazy training, such a little bit of improved strength, gave Zhao Xin Sun Yue great comfort, but unfortunately, such days are destined to not be long.

The scouts, a piece of news reported on the periphery, made everyone nervous, and the war had come again.

This is not a reconnaissance officer who is monitored by the navy at a fixed location, but a person on the outside, who is responsible for in-depth investigation and movement on the outside.

These people are uncertain to go deep into the dense forest, they don't have a fixed task, they just need to pass some changes back, and they can go as far as 120 miles away, and the area has been greatly improved.

They often set up an observation point on a high mountain or a big tree with a good view, and then take turns to observe through the telescope, and pass back all the observed information through a fixed channel.

That's the message they sent back, and there was a lot of movement throughout the mountainous area.

Although Ding Haijun didn't know where the natives' nest was, through some investigations and even speculation, he almost figured out that there were more than 15,000 people in this tribe almost 120 miles away from the settlement.

The 2,000 strong men were defeated, and there were only a few hundred people left, at least, in a short time, it would be impossible for this tribe to recover.

It turned out that more inclined in this direction, just in case, in the previous period, there were some people's movements, a large number of people, scattered activities in the dense forest, at that time the number of people was too small, and the group was not large, so it was ignored.

But a few days later, a large number of personnel were stationed here, the whole number exceeded 3,000, and as time went on, this number became more and more, which had to be taken seriously.

Based on the previous reports, Sun Yue preliminarily determined that the scattered people before should be similar to messengers, they informed the other tribes of the situation, and the reinforcements that arrived afterwards should be reinforcements.

That's right, it's reinforcements, a tribe of less than 30,000 people, and it lost more than 1,600 strong people at once, which is a huge blow to a tribe of the Gaoshan tribe, not to mention that he has completely lost his strength, but he has already lost most of it, in this case, it is almost impossible to use more than 3,000 people.

Now, there are 3,000 more strong people, and they are still holding weapons, then there is only one possibility, the same army, this army is not from the tribe and the cottage, but with reinforcements.

The shadow of the war has fallen again, and Sun Yue must know how many people there are in this reinforcement army, and how many parts this reinforcement is into, and he began to send scouts at risk.

The location of the other party's cottage is too far away, more than 120 miles, even if it is a well-trained investigator, if it is about to leave, it will take a day or two, the same, where is the place that the natives are familiar with, go deep into the mountains and forests, and rashly dispatch personnel, they will inevitably fall into the familiar routines of the other party, which is not a good thing.

But if you don't investigate clearly, how can you be, if you are attacked by surprise by the other party, it will be a huge pressure on the settlement.

Soon, after some investigation, the key information was finally obtained, and in the process of obtaining this information, it was not smooth, and 2 investigators were lost.

This was the first time that the Navy's arrival in the Ryukyus had suffered casualties, and the reason for this was that the group, in order to find out the number and composition of the enemy, had come too close and happened to run into a patrol battalion of natives.

The soldiers of the Dinghai Navy are of very high quality, but they are not fierce generals with one enemy and ten, and one enemy with one hundred people, in a group of 5 people, and 140 people from the patrol battalion, they have tried their best, but they only let 3 people escape, and the rest will lie in the dense forest forever.

Their reconnaissance was not in vain, but very effective, with the help of the guidance of the telescope, and ventured to a close investigation, and obtained more accurate information, that is, the total number of reinforcements.

In the current state, the previous cottage seems to have paid a huge price, connecting 7 large tribes and sending a total of 14,000 troops.

3,000 people are the vanguard troops, belonging to one of the largest tribes, and he alone sent 5,000 troops, accounting for more than one-third of the entire planned strength.

7 large tribes, this is almost the current Ryukyus, most of the power among the northern natives, to put it bluntly, the entire Ryukyus, only how many people, 14,000 used, which means that the total number of indigenous tribes is more than 150,000.

150,000 people, in the current Northern Song Dynasty anywhere, is not a few, the north is more densely populated than the south, 150,000 people, is already the majority of the entire Ryukyu natives, there are other sporadic in the south, there are almost more than 200,000, the total number of natives, will not be more than 400,000.

This is the biggest test, the previous 2,000 people, I'm afraid it's not even enough to plug the teeth, Sun Yue sighed, the only thing he is glad about is that this power did not appear before, if it appeared a week ago, it may not be able to break through the overall defense, but it will cause huge trouble.

Time has not only brought abundant food, but also enough manpower.

The current temporary site has a total of more than 500 people, including almost 450 soldiers, and 5 buildings have been completely completed, but only the original one, that is, the first settlement building, can be closed.

There is no way, 450 people, maybe the central building, the defense is impregnable, but if it is divided into 5 parts, a building left 90 people, this is not a witty choice, this is a stupid move, under the premise of being attacked by the other party, when the front and back are busy, it will be seized by the other party,

The natives seemed to be stimulated, and after they had gathered enough people, they moved very quickly, 14,000 people, quickly integrated into a team, and headed towards the settlement, looking at all the strong, but with rudimentary weapons, the natives were in charge of the observation post, carefully recorded them, and sent the news back.

Sun Yue looked at the basic data of the natives, it was different from before, the previous cottage was divided into different directions, and now, they directly formed a huge force, and there should be no chance to break through each one.

The distance of 120 miles, almost 4 days, compared to the estimate, the speed is a little slower, the time has also gone through 29 days, and it will be a month soon, but I didn't expect that the reinforcements did not arrive first, but later.

There are 10,000 people on the horse, and when a large number of natives come all over the mountains, it is still very scary, and the natives seem to have learned the lesson of the last time, and did not divide their troops to cut down trees, but carried some trees.

In the absence of suitable siege weapons, they were able to use giant logs.

In the previous war, the indigenous village owners and high-level officials almost died, and the old village owners who stayed behind, with their personal identities and gentle words, moved other village owners.

To tell the truth, some of his alarmist words are really right, the Dinghai Navy came to Ryukyu to occupy the whole of Ryukyu, and their good life is really over.

The natives, they are not without hierarchy and class, on the contrary, they have, in the era when the productive forces are not developed, only such a strict class, which brings together the whole tribe, or the power of the cottage, can survive against nature.

Relying on this productive force, what kind of middle class, what everyone is equal, before you are equal, nature will be the first to eliminate you.

This backward system and class is not a good thing for the Dinghai Navy, even if the Dinghai wants to integrate the indigenous people into the Dinghai, it is necessary to break this class and use a series of systems of the Dinghai, which is a disaster for these upper-level people at the level of the owner of the village.

14,000 people quickly crossed 120 miles and came to the settlement of Dinghai, and 14,000 people almost surrounded the settlement.

Above the building, with a higher field of vision, with the help of a telescope, Sun Yue examined most of his opponents.

At a distance of less than 2,000 meters, the telescope was the most suitable, and the other party did not hide it, and the leaders gathered together.

Somewhat similar to the previous natives, among the natives, there is no means of smelting, no metal tools, and the only way they can show their noble status is feathers.

Colorful feathers, representing identity, the more noble, the more feathers, of course, there are some ornaments, as well as some tattoos on the face, these Sun Yue don't know, can only ignore, he quickly found a group of leaders gathered together in the dense enemy army.

The telescope observes so many natives, not only in the most central area, but also in their clothes and feathers.

If, at this time, explosives were planted in advance, or a risk was taken, hundreds of people were sent out to attack with gunpowder arrows, maybe it would be another decapitation operation.

The same method could not have been used twice, and the natives were clearly on guard, not only pushing the leadership further away, but also with a large number of troops.

Sun Yue didn't know that when he was observing the natives, the natives were also observing him, and in a place where he was obviously the leader, an old man in gorgeous clothes with many feathers on his head was looking at the settlement with hatred.

The old man is none other than the old owner of the cottage before.

The natives, because of medical care, and other conditions are not perfect, their average life expectancy is not high, to be able to live to the same three generations, it is already good, this old man is almost sixty years old, the years have carved a lot of marks on him, can only rely on crutches to move.

He is also the eldest person among the surrounding cottages, and the biggest loss is that he died here, and so is his son, if he doesn't die here, maybe in a year or two, he will have a great-grandson.

Among all of them, he is unforgettable for this settlement, more than 2,000 strong, basically all killed, including all the high-level, 3 sons, 12 grandchildren, all died in this war, and now the only thing left is only three or four, less than 7-year-old grandsons, which is a very big blow to him.

They were a cottage, and they had no ability to retaliate, so he used his old face, pleading and intimidating on the one hand, and finally formed such an unprecedented indigenous army, in his opinion, such a huge army, no cottage could stop it, let alone such an outsider.

The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and in the vocabulary of the aborigines, there is no so-called strong dragon head snake, but outsiders are always inferior to the local, and this simple idea is still there.

It's a pity that he is destined not to know that the strength of the Ding Navy in the past is only the tip of the iceberg, and it is precisely because of the relationship between his son and the division of troops that the Ding Navy gave up the biggest reliance, fixed defense, and chose to take the initiative to attack, and the strength shown is very different from the defense.

2,000 people are really not a big threat, 14,000 people, it seems like a lot, but it really has to generate pressure, and it depends on the process of the battle, the iron wall defense, barbed wire and other equipment, longbows and heavy armor, these things that the natives don't understand, are destined to make the natives understand what kind of existence they have to deal with.
