It had only been a few minutes since the battle began, and many of the tribe's soldiers were killed.

The morale of the soldiers of the Huaxia Army was greatly boosted, and they bravely marched into the stab, forcing the tribal soldiers to retreat again and again. The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd detachments of the pursuit took the opportunity to surround and join the battle group of Meat Bo using the assassination method they usually trained.

Seeing that the encirclement was about to close, the tribal soldiers had no intention of fighting at all, and used the jungle bushes to flee desperately. After the war, when the Huaxia Army cleaned up the battlefield, it was found that a small number of tribal soldiers had escaped.

It didn't take long for the battle to end without any suspense, the Huaxia army seriously wounded 12 people, lightly wounded 42 people, annihilated more than 600 tribal soldiers, captured 641 single-shot rifles, 587 flintlock rifles, 80,000 rounds of bullets, and a batch of ** projectiles.

Judging by the results, it can be said that a big victory was achieved at a very slight cost.

When the news reached Qingyan Village, the men, women and children of the Chinese people cheered, and many of them shed tears while laughing and cheering and jumping, as if the tribal armed people had been completely defeated by the Huaxia army.

Hu Zhen was not so carried away, this group of tribal soldiers was alone and reckless, and the number was less than half of the Huaxia army, there were no reinforcements from beginning to end, and failure was inevitable. According to intelligence, the main force of the 20,000 tribal armed army is now twice as large as the number of Chinese men, women, and children in Qingyan Village and the Chinese army, and it should not be far from here.

The victory in this battle only temporarily disrupted the deployment of the tribal armed army, but it would not take a few days, and when it readjusted its deployment, a fierce battle could not be avoided. At that time, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army would not be as lucky as they are today in the face of an enemy several times their size, and they don't know how many casualties they will have to suffer. Just in order not to affect the morale and confidence of the soldiers of the Huaxia Army, Hu Zhen did not show any worry about himself.

Hu Zhen did not wait for the results of the battle to be counted, so he personally took Su Wenzhen and other staff officers to inspect the terrain around Qingyan Village and look for a suitable location for the decisive battle.

After fleeing back with the remnants of less than four hundred men, Vagard was immediately tied up and sent to Gunatir.

Ignoring the possibility of straining the festering wound again, Gounatir stomped his feet like thunder and scolded: "Didn't you learn a lot of skills in the Dutch army, and today you lost more than a thousand of my elites? ”

Vagad, who had suffered defeat, was so arrogant that he didn't know where he had gone, his face was pale, he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak, so he could only let Gunatir scold.

"I'm going to peel your skin, pull your tendons, and tear your bones!" Gunatil jumped to his feet and pulled at the wound, causing him to scream in pain, which further irritated him, and ordered Vagard to be slashed to death.

Knowing that this Vagard was a rare military talent in the Vana Princely State, it would be a pity to kill him, so he hurriedly came out to dissuade him: "Great king, why do you have to execute this despicable slave like this, why should you send him out to die for your efforts?" ”

"Force, force, let him lose more of my elite?"

"Great King, don't he still have nearly 400 people under his command, let him take these 400 people to make meritorious contributions, if he still loses the battle with these 400 people, even their families will be executed together, see if they dare to defeat the battle?"

Only then did Gunatil wake up a little: "Ah, that's a solution! Okay, let the high priest arrange it. ”

As soon as Rasd turned around, he falsely sent an order from Gunatir to the tribes to send the elite to increase the strength and equipment of Vagad. In less than a day, Vagad's subordinates had more than 500 more than before, reaching more than 1,500, and Gunatir did not know about it because he was injured and had difficulty moving.

Gunatir believes that his 20,000 army is no more than three or four thousand people in Achai To's area, and completely adopts the posture of the army encircling Qingyan Village on all sides.

While Gunatir was deploying his troops, several of the tribal soldiers who had been captured by the Huaxia army returned, bringing back a message and a letter.

It turned out that it was Hu Zhen, the commander-in-chief of the Huaxia Army, who ordered the prisoners to send a letter to him, and the king of Yovana, Gunatir, led his army to the decisive battle.

"Decisive battle, High Priest, does that also say that in that letter?"

The high priest Rusde knew a little about reading Chinese characters, read the letter written by Hu Zhen twice, and nodded slowly: "Yes, king, what is the commander-in-chief of the Huaxia Army, Hu Zhen, who wants to find a flat plain to fight with us!" ”

"Ah, my high priest, what do you think of this?"

Lard thought for a moment before saying: "Qingyan Village is in a dangerous terrain, if we adopt the method of strong attack, we will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, but if we fight a decisive battle in the plain area, we just give full play to the advantage of being outnumbered and overwhelming, and extinguish this Chinese force in one fell swoop, unify the southwest of Borneo, and then unify the entire Borneo in the future." ”

"Very good, I just agreed, and agreed to a local battle with that Huaxia army!"

Soon, Hu Zhen received a message from Gunatir: he agreed to find a flat plain and the two sides would start a decisive battle.

Liang Kunri laughed when he heard this: "These tribal armed forces are simply dead, how do they know the power of our weapons, thinking that they will win with their own strength!" ”

Ouyang Yu had a different opinion: "In this decisive battle, although we have a better chance of winning, we can't be careless at all, otherwise the cost of casualties will be too great, we don't have many men and horses, the territory is small, and the grain and grass are small, and we can't afford any losses!" ”

Su Wenzhen nodded beside him, agreeing with Ouyang Yu's opinion.

And Jiang Yunfeng and Chen Qishan said to Hu Zhen: "Mr. Hu, we all listen to you, you can arrange the action!" ”

Hu Zhen looked around at several backbones and said, "After these days of tentative fighting, we have figured out that the army of the Wanna Princely State is inferior in weapons and even more chaotic in training. Although our army has only recently been formed, it has been tempered in many battles, and the number of recruits has exceeded sixty percent, and the training time is about a month, and they have basically mastered the use of standard weapons, and as long as they participate in a few battles, they will soon become qualified soldiers. Therefore, this battle must be fought both for us to gain a foothold in Borneo and to hone our ranks. ”

After Hu Zhen finished speaking, he ordered the staff officer to spread out a newly drawn map, pointed to a location, and said, "Here, we will fight the army of the King of Wanna at this location!" ”

Everyone stepped forward to take a look, only to see three words written on the place: Mud River.

The decisive battle between the Huaxia Army and the Wanna Princely State is about to begin!
