At the end of August 19 in the year of Ding Chou, the sky was just dawning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoMcKayman, the leader of the Mailai tribe, led 4,000 tribal warriors to Red Rock Beach.

These 4,000 tribal armed soldiers were all the forces that Mackament could mobilize.

The 800 men of the Morudawa tribe were originally the elite part of this group, but because Morudava was unwilling to fight Bukui, his tribe did not join the team.

Mackamen had to make up a thousand men from among his clansmen who did not usually participate in the battle, making up the number of 4,000.

These 1,000 people, McKayman doesn't think there is much fighting power. However, this did not affect his determination to fight Bukui in a decisive battle. As long as there are three thousand, he is enough.

There was some truth in Morudawa's words, but no matter how strong Bukui's firearms were, he didn't think that 800 people would be the opponent of his 3,000 men.

Besides, he had already sent a letter to Lameihua overnight, asking Lameihua to send 3,000 people to support him. Even if he can't defeat the Bukui people for a while, as long as the men and horses of Lamei Blossom arrive, they will be attacked back and forth, no matter how strong the Bukui people are, they will die.

Red Rock Beach is a small alluvial plain at the bend of the Sidao River, named because of a patch of ochre-red gravel here.

It is said to be a small plain, but it is actually part of the South Vendura grassland. Including the entire Sidao River, it is also part of the South Vendura grassland.

The Sidao River passes through the middle of the Red Rock Beach, dividing the Red Rock Beach into two parts, east and west. The width of the river is about 20 zhang, and the deepest part of the river is about two feet.

Now, the two armies are facing each other across the river, with the Mailai people in the east and the Bukui people in the west.

By the time Kadeer, Feng Ziying and the others arrived, the two sides had already set up an offensive posture.

Kader understood Feng Ziying's intention to call all the centurions and centurions to watch the battle.

If these centurions and commanders saw with their own eyes that the Buqua people had won, they would realize that they were no match for the Buqua people, so that when they surrendered to the Buqua people in the future, they would not object.

Otherwise, if they surrender without fighting, they will think that they are cowards, and even if they do, they will not be convinced.

Such intentions are of course well-planned, but can the people of Bukui do it?

The strength of the Mailai people, Kader is still clear. Among the four major tribes, the individual combat ability is the strongest. McKayman is also the most warlike among the leaders.

The Bukui wanted to defeat the Mailai, and Kader believed that it would not be an easy task.

Not to mention the small number of people, in terms of terrain, the Bukui people do not have an advantage.

Since you, the Bukui people, have already arrived, why don't you cross the river earlier. When the Mailai people arrive, you will cross the river again, and it will be too late. Everyone knows that in this case, whoever crosses the river first will suffer.

And the Mailai people are not in a hurry to cross the river, this is their territory. On the other side of the river is the territory of the Iron Buddha. If the Iron Buddha attacks from behind, the Bukui are finished.

Kadeer, Feng Ziying and others stood on a high slope about a mile away from the two armies, and the situation of the two armies facing each other could be clearly seen here.

"Chief of Staff Feng, are you really only eight hundred people here?"

Kadell was still a little unconvinced.

"Aren't all the people here? I believe that with the experience of the Kadr head, it can be seen. ”

In fact, Kader had already seen that there were indeed only seven or eight hundred people on the Bukui side.

"Who do you think will cross the river first?"

"Let's cross the river first."

Do you cross the river first? Crazy? Originally, there were few troops, so you didn't cross the river before the Mailai people came, but waited until the people came, and then you crossed the river, isn't this looking for death?

As he spoke, the Bukui people did their part and began to move towards the river.

If you cross the river, you may be attacked by the Mailai when you reach the middle of the river. When the time comes, a few thousand people will fire a salvo of bows and arrows, and the Bukui people will die in the river.

Unless all of them cross the river together, in the shortest possible time, rush across the river to land, they will be able to reverse some of the passive situation.

However, their number is too small, except for those who died in the river, when the time comes, few people will come ashore. Even if they landed, they would soon be strangled by the Mailais.

Therefore, the wisest choice for the Bukui people at this time is to devote all their forces and cross the river in the shortest time. In this way, the losses will be smaller.

However, even so, after the landing, it was inevitable that the end of defeat would be lost.

Kader really didn't see any chance of victory for the Buqua people.

Now, he began to suspect that Feng Ziying was bluffing and trying to coax him into surrendering.

Hmph, it's not that easy to fool me. When the battle is over, I'll take you down, and when the time comes, see what else you have to say. You lost seven or eight hundred people in this battle, that is, nearly half of the troops, and there are 1,800 people left, see how you still fight with the four major tribes?

Something that surprised Kader even more was realized.

The Bukui people crossed the river when they came, but only a small number of them began to cross the river, and when they were full, there were only about 300 people, and the rest of the people did not move, as if they were watching the excitement.

"Chief of Staff Feng, only this little people cross the river, and when you get to the middle of the river, if the Mailai people start attacking, you will only be beaten."

Kader wanted to say that he had to wait for death, but he didn't want to say it so badly, so he said it tactfully.

"It's okay, their arrows won't hit us."

"Can't shoot you?"

"Yes, before we can wait for the middle of the river, our Franc machine will open fire."

Sure enough, Bukui's horse carrier began to fire, right in the river, and opened fire while crossing the river.

The Mailai tried to get close to the riverbank, but were stopped by the fire of the Franco.

In this era, the shells of the Franc machine were generally projectiles, but the shells of the Fu Corps were flowering shells.

The so-called flowering shells are similar to modern artillery shells. The shell contains explosives, which explode when it hits the ground, killing and injuring the enemy with shrapnel and the iron sand contained in the projectile.

This is many times more efficient than just firing a projectile and killing the enemy with only the kinetic energy of the projectile.

The first to cross the river had ten Buddha machines. Successive firing, with only three rounds of fire, disrupted the stormtrooping formation of the Mailai people.

Cannonballs continued to explode in the herd, many riders fell off their horses, and many horses were frightened and strung around.

Although some people started shooting arrows, they were too far away to shoot the Bukui people at all.

The first batch of Bukui people landed, but on the side of the Mailai people, the formation also stabilized. Although the Bukui people have a Buddha opportunity, if the Mailai people attack at this time, the Bukui people will not be able to withstand it.

Their numbers were too small to withstand the massive charge of the cavalry.

"Chief of Staff Feng, if I were McKayman, I would have to charge at this time."

"He'll charge, but it's useless. You see, our second group of men and horses are starting to cross the river. ”

Sure enough, the second wave of the Bukui crossing began. It was also as soon as the river began to fire. However, the Mailai people also began to fight back. This time, they changed their formation, from the original cluster formation, to a column, and each column was three feet apart. Even if the Franc machine's flowering bullet passed, only a few people fell off their horses. The rest of the cavalry still rushed closer and closer to the river.

"Chief of Staff Feng, the situation doesn't seem to be good this time, and the Franc machine doesn't seem to work."

"It's okay, we still have firecrackers."

"We also have firearms, but they are not as effective as bows and arrows."

"Our firecrackers are not the same as yours. We have a long range, a fast rate of fire and a high accuracy of fire. ”

Kader was also a little confused, not quite understanding what it meant.

However, he saw the situation on the east coast clearly. I saw that the Bukui people on the shore all lay on the ground and began to fire with their long guns.

One by one, the Mailai people fell off their horses. Occasionally, a few of them were fast, rushing forward and bending their bows and shooting arrows, but because they were too far away, they posed no threat to the Bukui people.

There were not many people in this wave of the Mailai people, only four columns, adding up, only about 200 people, and the remaining 100 or so people retreated.

The second group of Bukui's river crossers logged in, however, they did not attack further.

If it was Kadr, who had already captured the beachhead at this time, he would call the rest of the men and cross the river quickly, and after the three waves of men and horses converged, he would find a way to move forward.

But something strange happened again.

The first wave of Bukui's men and horses actually began to retreat.

Kadell couldn't believe his eyes.

That's right, it's time to start retreating. After so much hard work to cross the river, it is now beginning to withdraw.

Now that you're back, what did you do crossing the river at the beginning?

Caddell thought about it for a moment, and then understood. There must have been a problem with the firearms of those people, either there were no medicine packs or no projectiles. Or maybe the medicine bag was wet with water when crossing the river and couldn't be used.

Although they still had bows and arrows on them, they were doomed to suffer when they were too few to shoot at the bows and arrows of the Mailays. So, they had no choice but to withdraw to the West Bank.

"Chief of Staff Feng, your situation doesn't seem good, huh? Although there were some casualties in the beginning, it was not yet time to break the bones. ”

"We're not in a hurry, we're going to play slowly, and if we hit hard at the beginning, McKay will run away. We will not be able to achieve the goal of destroying the enemy's living forces. ”

"Living force?"

"It's about destroying as many enemies as you can."

As before, the Mailai launched two charges, both of which were repulsed by the Buquaits. However, the Buqua people did not have the strength to attack, so the second group of people who crossed the river also withdrew to the west bank.

In this way, the Bukui people crossed the river in two groups and evacuated back in two groups. The cavalry of the Mailaites also came up. However, there was no rush to attack either.

After a round of fighting, the two sides returned to the situation they had started with, and they faced each other across the river again.

Without the hundreds of corpses on the ground on the east bank, no one would even think that a fierce battle had just taken place here.

On the surface, more than 100 people have died in Mailai, and no one has been killed or injured in Bukui so far. It seems that Bu Kui took advantage.

However, a hundred or so people is completely affordable for the people of Mailai. Therefore, so far, the Mailai people have not hurt their vitality at all.

However, this situation is completely different for the Bukui people.

Two groups of people crossed the river, and finally both withdrew. This proves that their operation to cross the river was actually a failure.

If they continue to give full play to the advantages of firearms, even if they can't defeat the Mailai people for a while, they can inflict a lot of casualties on the Mailai people. However, now they are running out of kits and projectiles, and the advantage of firearms is gone.

If the two sides fought again, the Bukui would have to fight with the Mailai with bows and arrows and swords.

Since Bu Kui is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, there is no suspense about how it will end.
