Slowly searching for the Tang army up the mountain in a fan-shape, suddenly seven or eight Tang soldiers stepped on the place full of yellow and fallen leaves, and more than a dozen soldiers fell into the trap and were pierced by the upside-down sharp piles inside, and let out a terrifying howl. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā

Before the other soldiers could react, a bowstring sound sounded in the jungle ahead, and more than 100 soldiers were hit by arrows on the spot, and half of them did not survive.

"There is an ambush ......"

Min Cheng was in a hurry, and he swung his knife to slash the arrows that shot straight at the door, and shouted again and again.

Although they had been mentally prepared to be ambushed by the Magalans, most of the soldiers were still inevitably in a panic under the sudden attack.

The arrows of the Magalans continued to fire, and the surviving crossbowmen fought back in the direction of the enemy's arrows in a panic, but to little avail in the face of the cunning Magalans.

The two hundred Chaos Guards were fine, they were wearing iron armor, and they couldn't hurt them unless they hit the unprotected face. However, the situation of the 1,000 soldiers dressed in animal skins and linen clothes and the united soldiers who wore only leather armor made of deerskin was not optimistic in the face of the flying arrows, and the number of casualties exceeded 200.

Just as Min Cheng was organizing the somewhat chaotic soldiers to fight back, a field of arrows suddenly flew out from the big tree where the Tang army was located, and dozens of soldiers were killed and wounded by the arrows.

"There's a ...... in the Tree"

The Tang army, who had been beaten, looked up at the big trees that were hugged by one person, and sure enough, there were Magalans lying in ambush on the trees, using the cover of dense branches to frequently shoot deadly arrows at the Tang troops on the ground.

"Where's the crossbowman, shoot down a certain birdman from the tree......"

Min Yan, who had never encountered such a scene on the battlefield, shouted as he saw his soldiers fall one after another, his eyes red.

The crossbowmen turned around and aimed their arrows at the enemy in the tree, and with the crossbow in the hands of the Tang army, which was many times better than that of the Magalans, they shot down half of the enemy on the tree.

The remaining Magalans on the tree did not want to sit still, and they roared and rushed down from the tree with the agility of monkeys, wielding their carbonized spears and tearing them apart with the Tang army.

At this time, the Magalans who were in ambush in front gave up shooting at the Tang army, and let out a beast-like battle howl, and rushed out of the jungle at the fastest speed to charge the Tang army.

Thousands of people roared and howled, like wild beasts, rushing down from the hillside, and the momentum could be described as unstoppable. The sound of shaking resounded for ten miles in a radius, startling the flocks of birds in the distant mountains, and the sambar sambar flocks that were grazing hurriedly fled deeper into the mountains.

The soldiers of the Tang Army, who were at the forefront, faced a group of Magalans wearing animal skins and touching red and white paints on their faces that rushed towards them, and their momentum suddenly became a little more impressive, and the timid ones even began to retreat.

Min Cheng swung his sword and beheaded a retreating unity soldier and shouted, "Whoever dares to take a step back will behead him." ”

Behind Min Cheng were two hundred Chaos Guards who had gathered together to fight the old battle, all staring at the surrounding unity soldiers and soldiers with fierce faces. If the Unity Soldiers and Fan soldiers don't step forward to tear up the enemy, the Chaos Guard will kill them first.

"It's all for a certain person, and those who dare to retreat will be killed."

Under the coercion of Min Cheng, the united soldiers and the soldiers rushed towards the Magalan people who rushed down from the hillside......

"Report ......"

The two unity soldiers who were sent back by Min Cheng to deliver the message rushed to Xue Maoxun in a panic and knelt on the ground, not even having time to breathe: "Governor Yudu, our army was ambushed by the Magalans halfway up the mountainside in front, according to Captain Min's estimate, the enemy army is about two to three thousand......"

"I know."

Xue Maoxun's face was solemn, and he waved his hand casually to let the two of them go down to rest.

The howls of the Magalans when they launched their charge had long been heard throughout the mountains, and the Chinese army was only a mile or two away from the vanguard, so they knew about it.

Min Cheng's department was ambushed, but the governor did not go to the rescue?

Wu Sanhe and the other generals looked at Xue Maoxun's motionless figure very suspiciously.

Wu Sanhe and Zongma stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Dudu, the ambush of the Magalan people is quite strong, the number is estimated to be twice that of Min Duwei's troops, in order to prevent accidents, do you want to send a group of soldiers and horses to support the ......?"

Xue Maoxun turned his head and glanced at Wu Sanhe coldly, and said coldly: "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, which time has I not defeated a strong enemy with a small number of enemies?" A group of mountain and wild people who don't even have a few iron tools, Min Chengnuo is defeated, so there is no need for him to come back and touch the dark for our Anton Army. ”

"Hahaha...... The Governor said very much. ”

Wu Sanhe retreated timidly.

Xue Maoxun then used a telescope to observe the situation in the surrounding jungle, and shouted to the troops who were waiting for him: "The whole army advances, walk slowly, pay attention to the surrounding movements!" ”

"......"

The army of more than 8,000 people moved slowly after the order, and the front and rear were orderly, and the grain and grass that was related to the survival of the whole army were tightly protected in the middle of the army.

When the army approached the foot of the mountain, thousands of arrows suddenly flew out from the jungle on both sides, which shook the marching Tang army.

The ambush on the emotional mountain is just the beginning, and the most important thing is the ambush under the mountain waiting for the Tang army to drill in.

Wu Sanhe was shocked, when these Magalan people were so smart, they would set up two ambushes in a row.

When the arrows came, the Chaos Guards were not afraid, but the unity soldiers and those soldiers were tragic, even if the leather armor on their bodies could block the opponent's arrows, they would be injured by the piercing of the leather armor, and they were not afraid of being injured, but they were afraid that the Magalans would smear the poison on the arrows.

The whizzing arrows were shot down, and more than 200 people were shot down on the spot, and the soldiers who did not hit the vital point and did not die reluctantly pulled out the arrows on their bodies, looking at the familiar venom that they liked to smear on it when hunting, their faces were blackened with fright, and after a while, many wounded unity soldiers and soldiers were poisoned to death.

Only a small number of the Unity Soldiers had shields, and the soldiers did not have the concept of shields at all, and the casualties were the heaviest.

"The arrows are poisonous, and the sword and card are quick to protect the ...... of the governor"

After the guards beside Xue Maoxun found out about the situation, they hurriedly shouted.

"What are you afraid of, it's not the first time I've experienced such a scene. Knife players are all rushing to the front for so-and-so......"

Xue Maoxun calmly commanded the armies to respond to the battle.

"Whew......"

A round of arrows came down, and the Magalans and Atayal people who were ambushed on both sides of the Tang army killed them with high fighting spirit, and they were fearless in the face of the arrows and bright knives and guns that were fired by the Tang army's counterattack. After they suffered three or four hundred casualties, they finally broke through the death blockade of the Tang army's bows and crossbows.

Wu Sanhe drew his sword and yelled: "Kill ......"

The Tang army lined up in formation immediately shouted and rushed out, and the two sides fought hard to kill, the snowy horizontal knife entered, and the bright red long knife was pulled out.

In less than a quarter of an hour, corpses were strewn all over the field, and the howling was not stopped......

Xue Maoxun frowned as he looked at the figures of the two sides on the battlefield, he sent out the figure of Atayal in the enemy army, there are quite a few of them, it is estimated that there can be more than a thousand.

The Atayal and Pingpu people are the two major indigenous ethnic groups living on the island of Taiwan, and the two are slightly different in language, clothing, facial ornaments, slightly different customs, and different living areas.

Atayal people mostly live in mountainous areas and mainly fish and hunt; The Pingpu people live in the plains, mainly farming, supplemented by fishing and hunting. The Magalan people belong to a branch of the Pingpu people.

Later generations who liked to hunt human heads belonged to the Atayal family who lived in the mountains.

The Atayal people are more brave than the Pingpu people, not afraid of death, and good at jungle sneak attacks, which are the most difficult enemy for the Tang army to conquer the island of Taiwan.

The Atayal people in the Yilan region actually united with the Magalan people, and Xue Maoxun seemed to have a more complicated and changeable situation than before.
