1140 First Battle
The Spaniards and the Japanese were waiting for them as if they were facing a great enemy, but they saw the Bangbangya people rolling out of the mountains and forests one by one, and waited for a long time, until these indigenous monkeys never jumped out of the mountains and forests again, and still did not see any movement of the Ming people.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of a wise man.
The Spanish governor Coqueira turned his head to look at the indigenous monkeys scattered on the ground far behind him, panting, and then turned his head, stretched out his hand to greet Mei Chuan Neiku, and ordered him: "You send someone to the mountains and forests, check the movement of the Ming people, and then report back!" β
"Hey!" Although there was a worried look on Umegawa's face, he did not hesitate at Coqueira's order, and immediately accepted the order, quickly turned over and ordered more than 30 widows, and rushed into the mountains and forests while silently chanting God bless.
In this regard, Coqueira was quite satisfied, and then turned his head, drank coldly, and asked Apharos to call back who had gone back to understand the situation, and then asked with a cold face: "Your people, what the hell is going on?" β
"Back to the Governor's words." With a little fear on his face, Afarus said, "The Ming people are terrible, they tens of thousands of people rushed out from all directions together, and killed them one by one, so ...... So my people were frightened, and they ...... Hurry back and run back! β
"Tens of thousands?" Coquilla repeated, his face dripping with gloomy face, and roared loudly, "Tens of thousands of people from Mingren? There are about 30,000 people in total, excluding the old and young, women and children, you tell me about tens of thousands? You monkeys, damn it! β
In fact, how many young and strong people there are in the Ming people, there are actually statistics on the Governor's Palace. Open your mouth to tens of thousands of people, deceive ghosts!
Besides, the Ming people are not united, they are divided into many forces according to the clan, and even if they can unite under pressure, there must be a lot of contradictions, when will they have a backbone and can really unite together?
If there was such a thing, I would have not allowed Akito to have so many of them! Coquela knew best in his heart that in all the colonies, what he was most afraid of was that once there was a high-prestige backbone, he would have to be killed. Only a scattered colony is a colony that can be firmly grasped.
And the Ming people are famous for their scattered sand. And now Apharos told him that all the ten thousand men suddenly rushed out to kill them? Even if he exaggerated his numbers, it would be absolutely impossible!
Coquela felt that his IQ was insulted by this native monkey, so he threw a horsewhip over, and with a "snap" sound, it hit the hand that was blocked by Afarus in a hurry: "What the hell is the situation, report it truthfully!" β
The Doge was angry, and Apharos felt wronged, but he didn't dare to talk to Coquela again, so he immediately called for several of his leaders and told them to report to the Doge. If the Governor didn't believe it, let him fight or kill, at least he wouldn't be so dangerous.
"Lord Governor, it's all Mingren, densely packed, all of them suddenly rushed over, there are too many!"
"Yes, yes, Lord Governor, those Ming people, there are more fish in the sea, rushing in all directions, it's too scary!"
"Lord Governor, don't you see that there are so many Ming people, oh, just so many, there are too many!"
ββ¦β¦β
Coqueira looked at the leaders of the indigenous monkeys in front of him, said exaggerated with a frightened face, and gestured with his hand, his face was already pitch black. These indigenous monkeys have never evolved, and how many Ming people there are, anyway, more than three people, it is estimated that there are too many to count. I was really dizzy to ask them for specific numbers!
The man holding the whip raised it and struck it with a whip, knocking the annoying native monkey away, and then he stretched out his hand and called Apharos, and commanded him with a cold face: "Reassemble all your people, and dare to flee in front of the battle again, and blame me for the ruthlessness of military law!" β
Afaros did not dare to speak back, and hurriedly agreed to stay away from this Spanish governor. He was really scared, the eyes of the Spanish governor seemed to be eating people, don't be bad, Mingren's property didn't expect that his head would be cut off by him first!
Coqueira raised his head, looked at the hill in front of him, looked at the forest on the mountain, and became serious for the first time. At this time, he already felt that this time Mingren didn't seem to be so easy to deal with.
Sure enough, just when he looked up, he found that there were more than twenty people in the mountain forest, and the person at the head was none other than Umegawa Neiku. Several of them seem to have been injured.
As soon as they saw the situation, the Spaniards and Japanese who were already lining up immediately became nervous. And Coquela, too, drew his command knife and held the reins in the other hand, came to the front of the formation, shouted orders, and the artillery was ready.
The Spanish gunners had already put their field guns away, and when they heard the governor's words, they were ready to fire at any moment.
Umegawa Neku left his accomplice, trotted over to Coqueira, and said in a little panic: "Your Excellency, there are Ming people in ambush in the woods, but there are not many people. But I brought too few people with me this time to beat them. β
When Coqueira heard this, he immediately asked, "What is the situation with Akito?" β
"The Akito had archers, and crossbows, and they hid there covered with grass, and suddenly attacked us, and we were caught off guard." Umegawa Neiku hurriedly replied, "But the number of Ming people is not large, please allow the villain to bring more people in, and you must find out the situation!" β
"Good, go ahead!" When Corquila heard this, she was very satisfied, and immediately nodded and ordered.
From the comparison of things, it is clear that the Japanese are much better than the natives of Luzon.
Umegawa Neiku was very conscientious, and immediately ran back to the side of the Japanese team, ordered hundreds of people, and then personally led it, scattered a few roads, and entered the mountains and forests again.
The situation is unknown, but Coqueira still asked his men to be on guard, and the Bangbangya people also began to put themselves in order, hiding behind the Spaniards, and many people have eased up and are no longer so afraid.
After a while, there was a faint sound of shouting and fighting from the side of the mountain forest, one after another. Listening to the sound, it seems like there is a chase.
When Coquela saw that there were no widows coming out, he waved his hand and called a group of widows to immediately enter the forest to support.
That's not all, he called Afarus again, and ordered him to personally lead the team, and also bring five hundred useful people, into the forest to see the situation.
Afarus did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly ordered five hundred people, and followed him into the forest behind the Japanese people.
After waiting for half an hour, Apharos appeared from the forest, ran to the head of Coquela's horse, and said excitedly: "Lord Governor, we have passed, and there are no more people in the mountains and forests, so they have all gone back to the forest!" β
While he was talking, Umegawa Neku also ran out of the woods, and was very angry when he saw Afarus pleading to the Governor. This group of indigenous monkeys, when they were fighting, knew to hide behind, and when they came back to report the good news, they ran faster than rabbits!
Thinking so, he also panted and ran to Coqueira, and said loudly: "The Ming people have retreated, and there are only about a hundred people in the forest, but most of them are with crossbows, so there are about thirty casualties on the villain's side. When I got out of the forest, I found the corpses of about 500 Bangbangya people......"
At this point, he glanced at Afaros, a hint of disdain in his eyes, and then turned back and continued to greet Korquila: "These Bangbangya people are lying on the ground one by one, and they are all wounded and killed in the back! β
As long as you have a little experience in war, after hearing this, you will know that those Bangbangya people who died were chased and killed when they fled. When Coquilla heard this, he was very disdainful, but he was not surprised. These indigenous monkeys can only fight with the wind. If it can really fight a tough battle, it is a question of whether Spain can bring down Luzon!
Knowing that Akito had retreated, Corquila shouted to Afaros in a cold voice: "Let your people hurry up and clear the road, if you dare to delay time, or run away after being defeated by Akato, you don't have to come back to see me!" β
When Afalus heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly agreed to run away. At this time, he Yaben didn't dare to mention that the people of the tribe had too many casualties, and if they could share a little more of the looted things.
After a while, thousands of people were ordered, and they hurriedly entered the forest to pave the road and repair the road.
As for Coqueira, he praised Mei Chuan Neiku very much and asked him to rest first.
After doing this, Coqueira himself began to examine it in his heart. It seems that he still underestimated Akito. Come to think of it, these Ming people have learned the lesson of the first massacre, and now the dog is jumping under the wall, even the most docile sheep will use their horns to push people.
It seems that the next step is to be serious, just treat Akito as a regular opponent and take it seriously!
Coqueira thought so and was in no hurry to move forward. While keeping his subordinates still vigilant, he called Umegawa Uchiku and asked him to order some people to be scouts for the army, and to disperse the periphery to be vigilant, and at the same time to monitor the movements of the Ming people on the other side of the hill.
It was not until it was getting late in the evening, just as Coquela was about to get angry, that Afarus rushed back and told him that the road had been repaired and that the surroundings had been cleared, and that there was no problem.
The fact that these indigenous monkeys had been doing it for so long made Coqueira very angry, and he raised his hand and gave him a whip. At the same time, he also made a decision in his heart, next time he let these lazy indigenous monkeys do things, he must send someone to supervise the work.
Coqueira didn't want to waste any more time, so he ordered the whole army to march, anyway, this was just a hill in front of him, and it was better to turn over to the outskirts of the Ming Manor and set up camp again.
Today's events made him a little disappointed. Originally, he thought that he would be able to slaughter those Ming people after he arrived, and he could choose a better manor to live in and wait for his subordinates to return. Unexpectedly, the final result was to camp in the wild.
The first day was not smooth, so that the morale of these improvised bandit teams was not high. For the first time, they realize that Akito doesn't seem to be as weak as they think.
On the contrary, in the manor of the Luzon Ming people, there was laughter and excitement. If those who don't know see it, they think that it is not them who are in danger, but their enemies.
"It was a great day! Shouting and rushing out, those indigenous monkeys escaped faster than the real monkeys! β
"I didn't expect those indigenous monkeys to bully us on weekdays, in fact, they are like this, as soon as we are powerful, they are as afraid as a rabbit!"
ββ¦β¦β
In the midst of these excited words, there are also some people who are even starting to be a little radical.
"I don't know why Uncle Zhang ordered us not to chase out of the forest? If you want me to say, keep chasing them and defeat them all, won't everything be fine! β
"I think so, these people are just that! Don't let us chase too closely, we can only run with them, and only those who lag behind will be killed! I really can't figure it out. Otherwise, believe it or not, I'll be able to run a lot faster and kill more dogs! β
ββ¦β¦β
Of course, there are also some more sober people, who are reminding their elated compatriots around them.
"Uncle Zhang is possessed by a brave martial artist, so he can easily kill so many people with soldiers like a god!"
"That's right, you must listen to the brave martial arts, let you fight, let you withdraw, this is called ...... What is called like an arm, it is the essence of the art of war! β
ββ¦β¦β
And beside Zhang Wu, the leaders of the Luzon Ming people were also very excitedly around, saying excited words one by one. Hearing these words and praising him, Zhang Wu was also very happy, and he couldn't suppress a smile on his face.
As far as Zhang Wu is concerned, he is actually just an ordinary person, just a barber, and he basically doesn't know anything about fighting. Therefore, most of his feelings are the same as everyone else's. Therefore, he was a little puzzled by the battle just now, so he asked him questions in the chat group.
"The situation was very good just now, and those Bangbangya people ran faster than rabbits, why don't we take the opportunity to rush over and defeat the enemy?"
The feudal officials from all over the country are in the group, even the emperor. Even if Cao Bianjiao looked down on Zhang Wu's naΓ―ve question in his heart, he replied dutifully: "Judging from the photos, the Bangbangya people and the Japanese people are not long-trained troops at all, so they are not to worry about it. But you too, you are not a trained army, and fighting a war is like a fight. If it's just you people, in today's battle, you can chase and kill all the way with the courage of flesh and blood, and don't let them have a chance to relax. β
Speaking of this, Cao Bianjiao stopped before continuing: "Those Xiyi are all considered armies, whether they march or stay, they all maintain a certain formation. And their muskets are all loaded, if you rush over and meet them, under the fire of the platoon, you don't need to add artillery bombardment, Ben will suspect that you will also collapse! β
In the end, Cao Bianjiao emphatically emphasized: "Fighting with a regular army, it is useless to rely on blood and courage alone!" β
