Chapter 105: The Messenger of the Sun God!
The cutting mission arranged by the head of Gangneung also targeted the silver mine.
He had to take the opportunity to repair the road to it while getting the hardwood, so that he could lay the foundation for large-scale mining in the future, and the output here would definitely shock the entire empire.
Forests are not so easy to conquer, and humans need a certain amount of technical help and enough physical strength to deal with them.
Raqqa's diligence and eagerness to learn have been recognized by everyone, and Deputy Director Zongxiong often taught him to speak and read.
This gave Deputy Director Zong Xiong a sense of superiority as a teacher.
Words such as man, mouth, hand, heaven, earth, dog, etc., he casually drew a few on the sand, and it was enough for Raka to kneel and learn for half a day.
It's nice to be cultured.
Raqqa was afraid of muskets, and he didn't dare to touch them, but he liked other people's military crossbows very much.
He once took out a chain with the teeth of a beast and asked for the other party's crossbow arrows, and after handing the chain to the other, he almost went to get it directly.
In the eyes of the soldier who was training, this was simply a robbery------ but fortunately, Deputy Director Zong Xiong saw it and hurriedly pulled him away.
If he did, poor Raqqa would have died a miserable death.
Deputy Director Zong Xiong said indignantly: "What's so great about a jungle-breaking crossbow arrow, isn't it painted green?" Your chains are full of lion's and leopard's teeth, aren't you?
That's more expensive than his gold, come, I'll make you a handful------ you're so stupid, and this thing won't be made.
Deputy Director Zong Xiong said that he would do it, he found a suitable hardwood material by himself, kneaded it into a bowstring with leather, and made crossbow arrows with a woodworking machine tool.
He personally went to the barracks and asked for twenty crossbow arrows------ which were war supplies, and he knew that there were many more in the barracks.
After debugging, Deputy Director Zong Xiong directly stuffed him.
Raqqa liked it very much------- this weapon was obviously more powerful and accurate than the bow and arrow he used, but it was a lot of work to wind.
Raka has always called him the head of the regiment, and others laughed when they heard it, but Deputy Director Zongxiong didn't care, but praised Laka for his vision.
Raqqa also brought a crossbow arrow with him when he went to fetch water, and he shot back a monkey by the way.
After he roasted it with joy, he cut it in half and gave it to Deputy Director Zongxiong.
When Deputy Director Zong Xiong saw that the barbecue was a monkey, he wanted to vomit.
He warned Raqqa not to give him this strange meat!
Laka was puzzled, like a child who had done something wrong and didn't know why, and roasted monkey meat was obviously an excellent food.
Deputy Director Zong Xiong had to say that he didn't eat the ------ he could climb the tree, this gesture was easy to do, and he understood it at a glance.
At this time, there was a sound of knocking on the tin cylinder, and it must be his precious son who was causing trouble.
Raqqa hurried to stop it.
The sound of knocking on the tin cylinder is somewhat similar to the sound of an alarm, and you will always be startled if you don't know the situation.
As a result, there was a real alarm ahead: a group of about 400 troops was marching towards my advance base!
The head of Gangneung was happy at that time, and the gods, he was worried that he had no labor, so he sent it to the door.
At that time, he issued an order that the main thing should be to live prisoners, and handed over the task of doing the war to the commander of the first battalion, Xin Da, and asked him to take two companies to meet the battle, and the commander of the second battalion as backup.
This was a battle achievement given in vain, and the battalion commander Xin Da and the two company commanders hurriedly formulated a battle plan according to the topographic map they had drawn earlier.
In less than an hour, they were dispatched.
When Zhang Hongfan learned the news, everyone was gone.
This is really not using the militia as an organization------ Deputy Director Zongxiong immediately said: "I have a team member named Laka, who is a native here, he can understand the Great Song dialect, and he can also speak the indigenous dialect, so he can be responsible for communication and interrogation. ”
The head of the Gangneung regiment thought for a while, and only promised to let the two of them take that team member to the battlefield, and the rest of the people were never allowed to participate.
War is always about getting citizens away!
Director Zhang Hongfan had to be convinced, he swore that he, the director, would definitely take over the military power in the future, otherwise he would be too angry.
Immediately afterwards, information was sent, saying that the more than 400 people did not seem to be here to attack, but like fleeing for their lives, and the person at the head seemed to have a child on his back!
Help? Bait?
But there was no other intelligence ------- the commander of Gangneung absolutely believed in the intelligence level of the jungle reconnaissance squad, believing that the level of the natives was not enough to deceive their eyes.
So he sent a communications soldier to go to the preset battlefield with Zhang Hongfan and the three of them.
The news of the signal corps also made the battalion commander Xin think for a long time, and finally made a decision, our side will not shoot first, but it depends on the performance of the other party's actions.
Chief Zhang Hongfan looked at the formation they had set up, which was nothing more than a frontal blockade, an ambush on the left, and then a part of the people were left to be responsible for the pursuit.
He will also arrange this formation!
There are also four marching guns set up at the frontal blockade------ is it a bit of a waste to hit the natives with cannons?!
The pursuing troops used all twelve cavalry!!
Okay, it can be used now, what if you wait until the mountains?! In case of a mistake, how expensive is the cavalry------
The battalion commander of Xin Da coaxed to think that his formation had stunned the two guys of the militia group, so he directly asked Raka a few words, and found that he could barely hear a word or two.
Well, that's good, it's better than not knowing a word at all.
This is the only way to get to the forward base, and they just wait for their work!
The Tasa guard took the guards and his own people slowly, and they were finally out of danger for the time being, and there was no need to waste their physical strength.
The Tasa guard told Prince Pasa and everyone about the situation of the messengers of the sun god.
They are all very tall.
Their skin is similar to ours, but lighter.
They have a variety of flavors of food, all of which are extremely tasty.
They have a terrible weapon, a staff that can emit lightning and thunder------ axe they gave me just to chop down trees.
Prince Passa asked, "Will they fight for us?" ”
"I don't know," said the Tasa guard, "but they will at least protect us, let us stay in their wooden huts, and give us food." ”
Truth be told, none of them knew what the future was, only that they had to run away or they would die.
As they approached the advancing base, the Tasa guard heard a shout: "Lay down your weapons and get down to your knees!" ”
The Tasa guard officer saw a line of people suddenly standing up in front of him, all dressed in the same clothes and holding that terrible staff in their hands!
The Tasa guard turned back to the crowd and said, "Kneel! Sacrifice your weapons!! ”
When he had finished speaking, he took the lead and knelt down, raising the severed axe with both hands.
The Tasa guard officer was about one meter six and a half tall, a rare tall man among the Incas, and even though he knelt down, he appeared taller than the others.
The battalion commander of Xin Da is happy, what is a soldier who surrenders without a fight? That's it!
As soon as I laid out this formation, they natives were frightened at the time------- of course, even if he later learned the truth, he still maintained this optimistic attitude.
The battalion commander of Xin Da sent twelve cavalrymen to inspect first.
When the soldiers on tall horses circled around the men, it really scared the people, because they had never seen a horse before!
The horses were much taller than their alpacas, and they could not have imagined that they could ride on them.
Horses are perhaps more intimidating than the shining sabers in the hands of those cavalrymen!
They are indeed messengers of the sun god!
