Chapter 147: An Expedition in Distress

"These damn monkeys, sooner or later, Lao Tzu will lead the army back and level all the villages here......"

Zhang Heng was so angry that he wiped the blood on his forehead with his sleeve, and walked along the river to the coast with thirteen people in embarrassment. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fourteen people, all wounded, panicked or angry, walked on the road and kept an eye on the possible movements of the forest.

"It's April now, and it's a warm spring in my hometown, but this Luzon is a hot summer, without any spring breeze, and it's really a wild place overseas."

Yu Hong sat on a stone on the coast, fanning his fan vigorously, and couldn't stop complaining about the weather in this ghost place.

Zhang on the side said with a smile: "I said Deputy Manager Yu, you are rare and strange." The weather in Luzon is like this all year round, it is very hot, and there is no difference between spring, summer, autumn and winter in the Tang Dynasty. According to the locals, there is only a dry season and a rainy season here, and it does not rain in the dry season, and it is not bad if the rainy season is not a day of heavy rain. ”

"Damn it, wouldn't it be a sin to live here in such a ghost weather?" Yu Hongzhi sighed, this kind of summer that is very hot all year round, it is simply torturous for him to live here all the time.

"Hahaha! You should live in this sin, for to the local natives, this is a paradise. ”

"Still in the paradise? You can't even grow peach trees in this place! Yu Hong said disdainfully.

"Deputy Manager Yu, you don't know this."

Zhang Mao exaggeratedly talked about it, and in front of Yu Hong, a turtle who had never been to the sea before and had never seen the overseas world, he showed off his superiority fiercely, and said: "Although there are no four seasons in Luzon, it is a hot summer all year round. But everything grows and grain matures in the summer, which means that Luzon can grow grain all year round without worrying about the arrival of autumn and winter. Because there is no change of season, there are many edible plant roots and stems growing in the wild, as well as a variety of fruits that are not available in Datang, and the yield is still very large. As a result, the local natives do not have to worry about food problems all year round, and even if the grain planted is not harvested, they can still find enough food from the forest in the wild to fill their stomachs. ”

"As you say, the natives don't need to work hard to get enough food. Wouldn't their lives be very comfortable? ”

"It's comfortable!" Zhang Mao laughed and said: "To be exact, it is too easy to obtain food, which causes the local people to be reluctant to work and develop a lazy habit. I have been to several places around Nanyang before, and the local natives live in villages, ranging from thousands to hundreds, poorly clothed, rude, righteous and shameful, and their houses are built with straw huts. There was no so-called state, and most of them did not even have iron tools. It can be described as extremely barbaric and backward. ”

"Speaking of natives, why haven't you seen one in two days?" Yu Hong looked at the forest, quite puzzled.

In the past, in the Tamna Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom, and the Great and Small Liuqiu, I saw many Dangtu people before they landed, but this was the first time I encountered this situation in Luzon.

"It depends on whether Zhang Heng has found a native village in the inland."

It was the first time for Yu Hong to look forward to meeting the local natives, ready to see what the local natives looked like who had no worries about food and clothing for a year.

"Look, Zhang Heng and they're back!"

The guards in charge of the camp shouted loudly, and many people ran to see if they had brought back good news.

When Zhang Heng and the other fourteen people came out of the jungle, everyone saw that something was wrong with the secret road.

Yu Hong put aside everyone and asked with an ugly face, "Zhang Heng, what's going on?" You went out with twenty people, and how did you come back one with one wounded and the other six? ”

"Captain, you have to avenge your brothers!" Zhang Heng knelt on the ground and choked sadly, and the other thirteen people all looked sad.

"Let you go to find the natives, could it be that you have been attacked by the natives?"

"Exactly!" Zhang Heng threw down the bloody horizontal knife in his hand and said bitterly: "We went deep into the jungle for more than ten miles and found a very large village, we just went to investigate, but the natives found us and made a gesture to invite us into the village, and our brother followed him without worrying about him." The chieftains of the natives entertained us, but they asked for the swords and arrows of our bodies. We originally wanted to send a knife or two as a welcome gift, after all, we used to be guests to the natives on the large and small Ryukyu Islands, and the fleet had done this. But how could I think that those natives were so greedy that they wanted all the swords and arrows on our bodies. How dare the brothers give all the life-saving guys to this group of ugly-looking natives, in case these natives seek money and kill their lives, and they have no weapons on their territory, aren't the brothers just fish and meat on the display board? I will not wait. The chief gave an order, and the natives of the whole village surrounded us with weapons, and wanted to kill us and rob us. The brothers had to fight their way out of the siege in the native village, and the six brothers who did not come back were killed by the natives in the breakout. ”

As Zhang Heng spoke, tears of sadness flowed out, and he kept hating and blaming himself for not raising his vigilance, and took his brothers into the greedy native's lair and killed six brothers.

The thirteen people who came back with Zhang Heng also whimpered and cried to Yu Hong for their dead brothers, they were chased and killed by the natives on the way back, and how the brothers died tragically under the barbaric natives.

Yu Hongtie blushed, and among the twenty people sent out, ten people, including Zhang Heng, were subordinates who were born and died led by him when he fought in Anton, and two of them did not come back.

"How many young people are there in the village? What is the surrounding terrain like? ”

Although Zhang Heng said that the Turen is a big village, there are thousands of men, women and children in the sky, and it is good to have eight or nine hundred young and strong people. It was okay to besiege Zhang Heng and the twenty of them, but even the twenty of them only lost six of them and came back alive, which shows that the combat effectiveness of these natives is only the existence of five scum.

Yu Hong thought about it in his heart, and felt that he could kill more than a hundred people and destroy this bold and reckless native village.

There must be other native villages around, which can not only avenge the dead six brothers, but also play a deterrent role in other native people, and promote the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and these native people will no longer dare to do bad things to the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Heng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but his face was still sad and angry: "Captain, the Turen village is only twelve miles away from here on the bank of the river, and along this river, you can find it all the way to the east. The young and strong will not exceed 1,000, the combat effectiveness is not strong, and there are no iron weapons, so our brothers will suffer a loss in numbers. ”

"When you go back to the camp to rest, I'll go to Manager Zhang to discuss, and I'll go to level the native village tomorrow."

Yu Hong had a gloomy face, and went back to the boat to discuss this matter with Zhang Qin, and he was resentful in his heart, these barbarians dare to kill my soldiers for money?

Zhang Mao kept up with Yu Hong, and his face was not very good-looking. I didn't expect such a bad thing to happen when Zhang Heng led people to find the natives. In the past, when I came to Luzon by boat, although the local natives were not very friendly, I did not encounter any natives who tricked people into entering the village to steal wealth and kill people. Listening to what Zhang Heng said, I always feel that today's events are a little strange.

The fourteen people who escaped back from Zhang Heng and his party were supported by the other brothers and went back to the barracks to rest, and after the other brothers went out, the thirteen people surrounded Zhang Heng regardless of the injuries on their bodies, and said with a nervous face: "Team up, if the captain finds out that we have deceived him......"

Zhang Heng glanced at the thirteen brothers who followed him back, and said lightly: "As long as we don't say it, who will know what happened in the Turen village today?" ”

"But those natives know!" One man's voice trembled and he muttered quietly.

"Is there anyone in the fleet who understands the native language?" Zhang Heng's eyes stared at the timid brother warningly, but the other party avoided Zhang Heng's sharp eyes.

"Nope!" More than a dozen brothers nodded in unison.

"Isn't that worrying!" Zhang Heng said with a smile: "It's all good to rest, tomorrow we will go back to the horse pistol with the captain." ”

"Hehehe!" Brother Dozen endured the pain of the wound on his body and returned to his bed with a smile.

If anyone pays attention, they will find that each of them has a small package hidden in their sleeves, wrapped in something unknown, and each of them carefully hides this small package before resting.
