Chapter 400: The Old Chief in the Cell
Chao Xiong heard the accent. Isn't it the accent of Shandong? "Who are you?" he asked. ”
One of the leaders said, "We are a caravan." Caught by pirates. ”
Chao Xiong said, "Oh. I remembered. You are the merchant ship that does not listen to advice and has to act alone. I only got the merchant ship back last time. I didn't see anyone. It turned out that he was locked up here. Come on. Open the cell door. Let them out. ”
I don't know where to throw the keys for the pirates. The soldier picked up a large axe. Thunderbolt smashed. Smashed open the cell door. Released the caravan's people.
There were seven people in total. It is impossible for a bird ship to have such a small number of people. The others do not know whether they were killed or held elsewhere. These people are in good health. Just eat one meal each. Weight loss. There should be no problem with raising it for a while.
Hao Siwen led people to interrogate the other people in the cell. Significant discoveries soon followed. The chieftain of the Ainu people was imprisoned here. It's called Nurhafu. Dozens of Ainu warriors were also imprisoned.
Hao Siwen is separated by a fence. Looking at a slightly fat middle-aged man inside, he asked, "Are you the chief of the Ainu people?" Why are you being held here? ”
Nurhaf: "I am the chief of the Ainu. The Ronin of the East comes to the island of Chosen Birds. At first, it was very kind. It didn't take long for the minions to be revealed. I led the warriors of my people to fight back. But our weapons lagged behind. The people in the clan are not aligned. Taken advantage of by the ronin. Sneak attack on the Horde. Kill the hardliners of our tribe. Scratch the catch. The ronins found a softbone from the tribe and served as a chieftain. ”
"Oh. I see. Wait. Let you out too. ”
In addition to the looted merchant ship crews in the entire cave, there were imprisoned Ainu chieftains and their retinue.
Hao Siwen and Chao Xiong discussed. Chao Xiong: "We're new here. If you want to conquer the island of Zetori, you must first stabilize the Ainu. If the Ainu are willing to join our Jeju Army. Our power will swell very quickly. ”
Hao Siwen said: "The Ainu people are very backward. Iron and bronze are very rare. Combat is mainly based on bone spears and bone swords. More than a thousand pirates can conquer them. It just so happened that there was the Ainu chieftain Nurhafu in the cell. Let him help us in the fight. Update as soon as possible to defeat the pirates. ”
Chao Xiong hesitated. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay. This Nurhafu is a hardliner. I'm afraid we'll drive away the Dongying pirates. The Ainu do not obey our management. ”
"In the raptor steppe. There are many tribes. If you don't accept it, you will beat them to obey. If Nurhafu is not obedient and killed, it will be another word. "Hao Siwen.
Chao Xiong patted his head. Smiled: "Look at me." I've been a little silly lately. Forget all the royal ways we pursue. ”
The caravan and its Ainu who had been rescued from their cells were immediately brought back to the barracks. First arrange for them to bathe and change clothes in the barracks. Eat some rice porridge to recuperate.
The second day of the qi abrupt change. The goose feathers and snow have not stopped. There was no way to march in pursuit of the remnants of the pirates. As soon as Chao Xiong and Hao Siwen were updated, Nurhaf and several of his relatives were invited to the Chinese army. The air is cold, and the army is boiling hot pot. Inside is fragrant venison.
Chao Xiong: "Chief Noor. Have a seat. Eat together. ”
Nurhafu and the others were still nervous. I don't know how to use chopsticks. But they loved the taste of the meat. Surprised, he asked, "The same venison." Why do you cook so much better? And this bowl. It turned out to be iron. ”
Chao Xiong smiled: "We are here to practice in Jeju. It can be referred to simply as the Jeju Army. It has the most advanced technology in the world. Boiled meat is delicious because of the addition of a condiment called chili pepper. The rice bowls were made of iron to avoid damage during the march. ”
Nurhafo was an eye-opener. In addition to the venison, I also ate a variety of marine fish. Delicious. The style is still good-looking.
Meal. Hao Siwen said: "Chief Nurhafu is fine anyway. After dinner, come with me to see yesterday's pirates. Just to identify if it's the one who captured you. ”
Nurhafu said, "Okay. I was about to check it out. ”
On the edge of the harbor. In the snow. The corpses of hundreds of pirates lay neatly in a row. It's quite spectacular to look at. Nurhafu took a look. "It's these pirates. They're fierce. How did you annihilate so many of them? ”
Hao Siwen said: "Native chicken tile dog." One battle will annihilate so many. If it weren't for the speed of their run, it is estimated that they would all have died. ”
It's winter. The permafrost of Zetori Island is very thick. Surely a fallen pirate cannot be buried. But by the sea, you don't have to worry about disposing of corpses. Pull a big fish boat to the shark-infested area. Throw the body into the water. Make sure you don't even have bones left. It's really about how fast and worry-free.
"Kill. Kill. Kill. "In the open space next to it. Three hundred musketeers lined up. Wielding a sharp goose feather knife. Braving the snow to practice.
Nurhafu asked, "Battalion Commander Hao." Your soldiers seem to be better at using knives than ordinary pirates. But it's a little worse than the ronin. ”
Hao Siwen took a Yanling knife. Let Nurhafu take a look. Ordinary pirates use nothing more than ordinary long knives. Naturally, it can't compare to the Yanling knife. But the ronin used a finely crafted katana. Naturally, it is better than the Yanling knife. More and faster chapters are here.
On the other side, another 120 sailors were practicing their bows and arrows. There are targets standing on the snow. The soldiers worked hard to shoot arrows.
Nurhafu was afraid. Obviously, the Jeju army is much more powerful than the Dongying pirates.
Hao Siwen said: "We are a regular army. Not pirates. Chief, rest assured. We will not rob you and your tribe. But from now on, Bird Island is part of Black Dragon Island. ”
Nurhafu was speechless. What can he do.
"Do you want to sit back in the chief's seat? If you want, I can help you reclaim the chieftaincy's position. And let's unite to drive out the Dongying pirates. "Hao Siwen.
A chieftain's position. Nurhafor was thrilled. "There are always 20,000 people in my people. More and faster chapters are here. Three thousand warriors. Please help me reclaim the Chieftain's position. ”
Hao Siwen asked, "Will the three thousand warriors listen to you now?" And where the hundreds of pirates who escaped will go. You should know that. ”
Nurhafu said, "Three thousand warriors are now under the command of the trust chief. But as soon as I show up. When I raise my arms, they will listen to me. The escaped pirates are in my tribe's stronghold. Reindeer Valley. There are tens of thousands of reindeer there. The tribesmen relied on reindeer meat for the winter. ”
Hao Siwen, Chao Xiong, and Nurhafu discussed. Operational tactics were developed. Nurhafu first sent two henchmen to sneak back to the Reindeer Valley. Contact the old ministry of the loyal old chieftain. After getting in touch. Chao Xiong stayed in the harbor. Hao Siwen led 600 musketeers. The first time to update the three hundred sailors soldiers rushed to the reindeer valley. The inside should be combined with the outside. Break the pirates.
Nurhafu said: "I have one more request. ”
Hao Siwen asked, "What are the requirements?" ”
"Our three thousand tribal warriors did not succumb to pirates because we were not brave. But because our weapons are too backward. That's when he lost to the pirates. We need weapons. "Chief Nurhafo.
Hao Siwen: "The army did not carry extra weapons. Only the captured pirate long knives were less than a thousand. But the loot is to be handed over. You can't just give it away. ”
"I won't let you give it away for nothing. Let's trade. There are beautiful women, reindeer, furs, and so on in my people. ”
The Jeju Army does not tolerate human trafficking. The first time to update, so the beauty is worthless. Reindeer are used for sledding and meat. The value of the fur is average.
Hao Siwen shook his head: "Is there anything else?" For example, cows, horses, and so on. ”
Nurhafor: "There are too few horses. We don't plan to exchange it. There should be tens of thousands of cows. It's just how do we exchange it? ”
"You can't take advantage. Let's exchange it at the price of Zetorishima. "Hao Siwen.
"Then a knife for three cows. How is it. The chief looked at Hao Siwen blankly, for fear that he would not agree.
"Good. It's a fair price. In addition, based on our good cooperative relationship. I'm giving you some spices. It is peppercorns, chili peppers, etc., which are used to cook meat. "Hao Siwen.
The parties reached an agreement. As soon as the snow stopped in the afternoon, Chief Nurhafu sent two men of the best. Carry the necessary equipment such as long knives, daggers, and spirits. Wearing a padded jacket of robe and leather and boots of cowhide, he returned to the tribe to contact the old department.
Reindeer Valley is not far away. It's only a hundred miles away. But the heavy snow road is very difficult. It wasn't until the third black that the two warriors came back to report. The old ministry has been contacted. Just wait for the outside to attack and fight back from the inside.
Hao Siwen is also ready. Lead a large group of people. Drive to the reindeer valley on a sleigh. There's not even a decent road on Bird Island. A hundred miles took two miles. Reindeer Valley is a huge valley. It is blocked by mountains on both sides. Winters are relatively warm. Reindeer like to spend the winter here. That's why the Ainu tribe made their home here during the winter. Taniguchi also had no permanent defenses. There is only one wooden fence. Coalition pirates and Ainu forces guard the back of the fence. With a hunting bow, he aimed at the surging army of a thousand.
The old chieftain of the Ainu. Nurhafu said to Hao Siwen: "Good battalion commander. I went over and shouted. The warriors guarding the gate will immediately turn against the water. ”
Hao Siwen saw him swear so much. It's not easy to refuse. Immediately let Nurhafu lead a few henchmen together. Holding the round shield, he leaned over slowly. At a distance of more than a hundred meters. Nurhafu shouted: "I am your chief. I'm back. Open the door immediately. Let's kill the pirates together. ”
There's a one-eyed pirate in the gate. It was the pirate leader Yanagawa Shoichi. He shouted, "This man is a fake. The old chief had already been thrown into the sea to feed the sharks. Shoot him for me. ”
Whoosh. Several feathered arrows landed on the snow in front of Nurhafo. This is the hunting bow of the Ainu people. Weak power.
"Run. The pirates are about to release their arrows. "One of his cronies pulled Nurhafu and retreated. The pirate's feathered arrows have arrived. Shot an entourage on the spot.
