The early morning mist has not yet lifted. The calm of the night made the people of Chu temporarily feel a trace of peace. But this tranquility was soon shattered.

"Whoa." The sound began to ring. Like the footsteps of migratory animals in Africa. However, this is not Africa, but an unexplored indigenous land.

"What's that?" A Chu Guoren who was standing guard shouted loudly.

"Hey, hurry up. There is a case. The people of Chu then shouted loudly.

"Bang." A crisp gunshot rang out. As soon as the Chu people standing guard were in a hurry, they immediately pulled their flintlock pistols to warn.

"What a situation. Damn it. "The people of Chu heard the gunshots. Subconsciously looking for their weapons, they are unhappy that the natives are attacking in the early morning.

"Woo. Whining. "This time the natives began to attack in formation. They were divided into three large offensive formations. These formations are no longer as loose as they used to be. The indigenous people are also learning, and they are beginning to understand. Deal with the people of Chu. Something has to change. This is how civilization spreads. At the same time, it is also a kind of progress of the indigenous civilization itself. But every improvement always comes at a price. Otherwise, it will be difficult to move forward.

"Get into your own combat position, quick. Hurry up. The head shouted loudly. And all of them went into combat positions with their own flintlock pistols.

"We have to think of something else. It's just too stupid to shoot like this. A veteran suggested.

"And what do you think we should do?" Head asked.

"We should learn from the Qin people, I know that the Qin people have a flintlock pistol platoon tactic. We can give it a try. "When the veteran was using a flintlock pistol, he heard about the Qin people's gun platoon tactics. He knew that the tactic was very powerful. Able to knock down the cavalry of the northern nomadic tribes. And the cavalry even faced the tactics of platoon guns and could only be beaten.

"Platoon tactics?" Head asked.

"Yes, it's a platoon tactic. Divide people into three rows. The first platoon fires, the second platoon prepares to shoot. The third row is loaded with ammunition. The first platoon finished firing, and the second platoon followed. And the third platoon finished loading at this time. Carry out shooting preparations. The head said.

"That's the way the regular army plays, can we do it?" Head asked.

"I don't know, give it a try, at least we can survive." The veteran said.

"Alright then, let's do as much as we can." Head said. Actually, there is nothing wrong with what the head thinks. This kind of gun platoon tactic can only be completed after Iduan Time Love You training. Because of the mutual cooperation and the loading of ammunition in each link, the aiming must be able to keep up. However, the people of Chu are a group of stragglers, and few of them have undergone systematic military training to go to the battlefield. Some of them were shooting with flintlock pistols for the first time.

"Everybody, come here, and in a moment, we're going to use a new tactic, every three people in groups. The first person shoots, the second prepares. The third person reloads ammunition. When the first person finished shooting. The people in the back quickly followed and opened fire. The people in the back finished loading at this time. Now, I don't need to say anything. The veteran greeted.

"What does that mean?" A young man asked.

"The Qin people's gun platoon tactics, if used well, we may survive. I hope you can cooperate with each other. Can you survive. It's up to us to love you directly. The veteran said.

"Alright. Everyone is looking for someone by themselves, three people in a group, hurry. The natives are coming. Hurry up. The head came over at this time and shouted loudly.

"Well, who knows that the bullshit tactics of the Qin people are powerful. Shoot like this. Only a third of the people are shooting at a time, and if we fight like this, can we win? A young man asked.

"Give it a try." The man on the side replied.

"Woo. Yes. Avo. "The natives are praying the last prayers to the gods. Some also danced a war dance in front of the deity personnel, hoping to be protected by the heavenly gods in this way.

"What the hell are those natives doing?" A native of the Echu country asked.

"Don't look at it. Get ready, whoever shoots the first shot. Forget it, I think it's just him. A Chu native pointed to the person who spoke.

"Me." The Chu native stretched out his hand and gestured.

"Yes, that's you."

"You shoot the first shot. I shot it the second time. You, the last shot. Chu said.

"Okay." The people of Chu were assigning the final defensive sites according to a tactical detachment of three people. They have such three-person squads, there are more than two dozen teams. There are also some wounded soldiers in the middle, and their reload speed must have been greatly affected.

In order to ensure the efficiency of the battle, the Chu people tried their best to distribute the wounded soldiers together, and the four people who were alive were in a group of five, and all those who could move were arranged in a three-person group that could fire normally and quickly.

There was a moment of silence on the battlefield. Even the birds stopped chirping in the morning. The only sounds that fell silent were the sounds of the damned natives praying before the war.

"Do we need to do something?" A young man from the Chu State asked.

"No, we'll just wait." A more mature Chu native replied.

"Oh." The young man replied.

"Ulla, whoosh." The natives muttered. Then wave your arms as if you got something.

"Ahh Shouted loudly.

"Whoa, whoa. Wow, wow. Woooooooo The natives let out a shrill cry.

"Ahhh The natives burst out after a strong pre-battle declaration. Start the offensive. At this time, the sun is already angry. Blue sky and white clouds. A very combat-friendly weather.

"Woo. Woooooooo "The natives divided into three groups and began to frantically attack the stronghold of the Chu people. They first approached the Chu people at a constant speed. Because the rifles of the Chu people could not hit them at range. And the indigenous people want to build on this approach. Maintain your stamina. Slowly approaching the people of Chu. At the time of the first round of shooting by the Chu people. They began to do the last speed, and they wanted to rush to the Chu people as fast as possible. Then launch a surprise attack.

"First round of shooting preparation." The head shouted loudly.

Six firing squads took up the spot where yesterday's explosives had collapsed and began to aim and shoot.

"Fifty steps. Put. The head shouted loudly.

"Bang. Bang. A burst of shooting rang out.

Some fell from the indigenous population. But the two teams on the flanks didn't suffer any losses. The shot hit the center. The people of Chu did not have enough shooting surfaces to hit their opponents. There are too few people.

"Second round. Put. The head shouted again.

"Bang bang." A burst of gunfire. This time it's still the central to the subordinate. But the natives had already begun to sprint desperately at this time, and they had to cross this killing distance as fast as they could.

"Third round. Shoot. The head shouted.

"Bang bang." Gunshots rang out. The natives fell some again.

"Next round." Head waved.

"Damn. So fast. A young man scrambled to insert the pillar of fire back into his rifle. Then in a panic, he opened the fire door and fired.

"Bang bang." This round of shooting was clearly not as crisp as the first one.

"Bang." "Bang." Some people develop early, others shoot a little later. And some people have just opened the fire door. Seeing that someone else has already fired. In a hurry, shoot before you have time to aim. The result of the shooting is predictable.

This tactic of hastily organizing a platoon of guns is very unwise. Because platoon tactics require a certain amount of training. In particular, a team completes synergistic shooting. And most importantly, the time of the bullet reload.

The first three rounds of shooting. The bullet pair has been loaded. Therefore, the people of Chu were able to shoot indifferently. But when it was the fourth round. Since the reloading time is not the same. When the shooting was caused, some people had already fired. And some people can't even shoot a gun.

"Damn it. The propellant was not loaded. A young man scolded anxiously.

"Next round." At this time, the order has been issued.

"It's too fast." The young man scolded. His bullets were nowhere near as fast as his head was to give orders.

"Aim. Put. "The order to shoot the head has been given." Damn it. "Eventually, the young man was pushed back by those who were behind. Proceed to the next round of shooting. And this round. There are still people who don't have the imagination of loading bullets. Flintlock reloading has simplified some of the procedures. The early models of flintlock pistols of the Qin state used bullets that fired gunpowder and ignited the powder separation. Later, oil paper or deerskin is used for whole coverage, and then grease and wax are used for sealing. When fighting, you need to bite off a small bullet with your mouth. Then a part of the gunpowder was poured on the fire door, and then, a part of the propellant was poured into the barrel of the firing gun. The bullet is then pressed into the chamber with a pillar of fire, and then the fire door is opened for a second shot.

Even so, it is very unwise to hastily organize gun platoon tactics without overall professional training. In fact, it is. When the state of Qin was training its own soldiers. All need to complete fifteen days of special loading training, shooting rhythm training. Then it's a whole team training. And when training. All the soldiers need to shout slogans. Because the battlefield is noisy and chaotic. There was a sound of everything. It is quite possible that the officer's order will not be disguised. Therefore, a secondary retransmission is required. That's why soldiers need to put out loud slogans. As a matter of fact. The main target was artillery firing. The loud sound of artillery fire seriously interfered with the tactics of the officers directing the platoon guns.

But now, the Chu people do not have artillery. The only thing they were more advanced than the natives was that they used muskets in their hands. A musket capable of piercing any weapon of the natives. Artillery, this weapon of mass destruction, they did not equip because they were seriously underfunded, and only if they had accumulated enough money in the slave trade could they buy it and then use it in the slave war.

"Put." The head kept shouting loudly. He hoped that his shouting would turn into bullets to shoot the damned natives.

"Woo." The natives shouted but rushed over.

"Bang." A Chu man stood on the gap and knocked out a man with a rifle in his hand.

The native leaned forward, then spun and fell to the ground. A nice down-to-the-ground position, but it didn't work, he was hit. This is war. Falling means being one step closer to death.

"Bang." Another Chu native quickly stepped forward and used his rifle to shoot at the natives who were already a few steps away. The thick gunpowder smoke and dust emitted from the musket obscured the state of Chu, and he aimed and shot with the rifle in his hand. But at such a close distance, there is no need for any aiming.

"Shoot." The head shouted loudly. Then shoot continuously with the pistol in your hand.

The merchants of Chu were calculating, and they spent a lot of money on ships, guns and ammunition. And the price of gun cartridges is not cheap either. In particular, the price of a scattered flower bomb is even more outrageous. One bullet is equivalent to three times the bullet of a normal gun. Shotgun bullets are actually shotgun bullets, and they are great for close combat, especially when fighting at close quarters. A single shotgun bullet can knock out a lot of the opponent's combat power. The Qin army often used this type of bullet in close combat. And it was more widely used, the short-barreled flintlock pistol used by the cavalry, and the earliest bullet installed was this kind of bullet. Because if the cavalry fights at close range, the combat distance is relatively close. However, the flintlock pistol, which had a slower rate of fire, could not meet the requirements of the cavalry for rapid combat, so they used this shotgun round. And it's huge. The combat effectiveness is very high.

But the people of Chu are different. They do not have such weapons, especially since their financial situation simply does not allow them to buy such guns and ammunition. I thought it was too expensive. has exceeded their usage needs. Merchants believe that dealing with the natives who are still armed with stone-level weapons. The use of muskets is already quite powerful. It is more than enough to use ordinary bullets. So, they didn't spend any more money on this kind of ammunition.

Now, this kind of bullet has a lot of use, but the people of Chu do not have it. They don't have this kind of ammunition for their own people to use.

"Ahh The Chu native had just fired a bullet. A poison dart flew down his throat. He was dart.

The people of Chu threw away the weapons in their hands and clamped their necks tightly with their hands. He felt some difficulty breathing. Darts are poisonous. And it's very toxic. Soon, the Chu native couldn't afford it, and eventually he would suffocate and die of poison.

"Woo." The natives rushed to the side of the Chu people again.

"Die." The Chu people stopped shooting, they didn't have time to reload the second bullet. They can only use bayonets, butts. to take out the opponent.

"Bang." There was a thud of the butt of a gun hitting a bone. An indigenous man was struck in the head with the butt of a gun. In an instant, his head was covered in blood. The natives fell.

"Poof." A spear made of sharp stone smashed the native's butt down on the native. Stabbed into the back of the Chu national.

"Damn." The people of Chu scolded with all their might.

"Poof." More stone spears pierced into the bodies of the Chu people. Indigenous people flocked to it.

Soon, the people of Chu were killed by this rudimentary weapon.

"We can't stand it." The young people's will to fight was the first to be shaken.

"Don't run. Everyone has to die. Fight. The head shouted loudly. As he spoke, he rushed into the crowd of natives with his short sword.

He grabbed an indigenous man in his left hand. With his right hand, he stabbed the short sword into the lower abdomen of the native, then quickly drew the short sword and turned around and waved it. Another native's chest was sliced open with a sharp dagger. Blood splattered everywhere. With skilled combat skills. The head is very easy to beat, but the indigenous people are not slaughtering animals, they are a militant minority. They quickly relied on their numerical superiority to give a hard blow.

"Poof." First, a stone axe slashed the left arm of the head. Then a spear stabbed him in the left leg.

"Ahh The head shouted, and then swung the short sword in his hand vigorously to give the spear-wielding native.

"Poof." The head had just used a short sword to force away the one with a spear. Two natives with javelins stuck in his back. Endure great pain. The head wanted to use the pull back spin to kill the two natives. But this time. He just didn't have the strength anymore. The pain was unbearable for him.

"Poof." More and more spears and javelins pierced the body of the head. He couldn't take it anymore.

The head fell. At the last minute. He saw a large number of natives gathered around him. Assassinate him. Eventually, he lost consciousness.

"Retreat." A veteran shouted. After losing the commander. The defense line of the Chu people soon collapsed. Their numbers simply could not withstand the attack of so many natives. Despite the advanced weapons. But the weapon still has some fatal flaws. These flaws were enough to prevent them from being able to defend the entire front.

"Retreat. Fall back. "The people of Chu began to retreat continuously, and they began to retreat to the place where they lived. Fight back with some advantageous obstacles.

"Bang." A gunshot rang out. One of the natives fell. This kind of close proximity, large density, can easily cause losses to the opponent's personnel. But this loss is nothing to them. The worst part. The natives are rapidly approaching them with a huge advantage in personnel.

After a Chu man finished shooting. Immediately crouch down to reload ammunition. But the one behind him wasn't so lucky. He had just stood up, ready to aim at the enemy. A poison dart was fired. The poison dart hit him right in the eye.

"Bang." A gunshot rang out. But the bullet was shot into the sky. "Damn. We retreated. The enemy rushed over. "The people of Chu can only fight and retreat at the same time." Woooooooo The natives quickly rushed over. But they are cruel. For the Chu people they killed with poison darts, this Chu people definitely can't be saved. But the indigenous people felt that they were not relieved. Then he slammed the axe in his hand. Cut off the necks of the people of Chu. The head is divided like this.

"We can still retreat. We're done. We can't beat our opponents. A Chu nationalist shouted loudly.

"Retreat to the edge of the cliff." A Chu native shouted. They reload ammunition on one side. while retreating. The situation makes it difficult for them to make the right choice. The situation has become critical.

More and more Chu people were brutally murdered. The indigenous people almost used extremely cruel methods to kill the Chu national power. Even those who were already dead, they didn't let them go. A lot of corpses were re-a**. The aborigines hated the Chu people to death.

"We're out of the road. What to do? "The people of Chu, who only have a dozen people left, are facing the biggest dilemma in their lives at this time. In front were the natives who were swarming up. And behind them are cliffs. This is the stronghold location chosen by the Chu people to establish their choice. Rely on here. They can light a campfire to guide their own ships here.

"There was no boat, no one to save us. We're done. "The last Chu people felt great despair, there were no reinforcements, and there was no way out. All of a sudden, there was no hope of life.

"Woo." The natives are in hot pursuit. They slowly rushed up.

"Fight." Some Chu people think that they are all dead anyway, and they should pull a few more pads before they die. One life for a few more lives. In such a desperate environment, it is easy to have such thoughts. Soon, the Chu native rushed into the crowd of the natives with a rifle with a bayonet.

"Rush." The people who followed quickly rushed over. More and more people are rushing over with such thoughts.

"Poof." The bayonet pierced the flesh. "Ahh A spear pierced the back of the Chu national. At this moment, the people of Chu died tragically at the hands of the aborigines.

"Bang." Some also fired a shot. Then smash the opponent to death with the butt of the gun. But soon, the overwhelmingly dominant natives responded to their attitude with weapons in their hands.

"Ahh A few more screams. Soon, several Chu people fell to the ground. They were all dead. Died in battle at the feet of the natives.

"What are we going to do?" A Chu native with a leg wound said using a gun as his crutch.

"Can we still fight?" A Chu native smiled.

"Bang." A gunshot rang out. The Chu native ended his life with the pistol in his hand. And the injured Chu native was taken aback by the sudden situation.

"What are we going to do?" The injured Chu Guoren looked at it and asked.

"What to do? I think that's probably a way to survive. "A Chu native sees the sea behind him. Then I made up my mind to jump.

"Ahh The Chu nationalist shouted loudly.

And this time. The natives are getting closer. It's almost only a few steps to catch them. In a panic, the people of Chu who didn't want to die like this jumped like this.

Those who didn't want to be killed by the natives also jumped down.

The waves of the sea crashed violently against the cliffs. The loud noise drowned out the sound of them jumping into the sea. In this way, the state of Chu, which was cornered, disappeared from the eyes of the natives.

Subsequently, the natives returned to the stronghold of the Chu people, and they set fire to everything they could burn and took everything they could. As for the corpses, in revenge, they are all extremely savage. Revenge can also be manifested in the dead. Because their souls are still there. This is the thinking of the indigenous people themselves.

After doing all this. The natives returned triumphantly to their tribal settlements, and then held their victorious assemblies.

The people of Chu need to reflect on it. It was a battle that can hardly be recorded in history. Because he was too small to fit the whole battle process, this was indeed the first large-scale battle of the Chu people's foreign colonial expansion.

The result of the battle was the complete defeat of the Chu people. After many days. It was only when the other ship arrived to carry the slaves that they found that their stronghold no longer existed. And they also found some companions who were almost savages. They are all those Chu people who jumped into the sea to escape. These stories are passed down from their mouths. Without survivors, the story could not have been circulated.

The ship passed empty. They did not have any slaves to return to. And they suffered great losses, more than a hundred people were defeated in two days. Only a very small number of people have survived. The battle was just too fierce.

Those who survived tell stories of their own experiences. And the merchants calculated their losses. And those who listen to the story are thinking about one thing, they are retreating, and they are moving forward. What's the point?

But they soon had a preliminary choice of their own. Benefit. As a reference for them. They know what to choose. The slave trade is an extremely lucrative industry, and this industry can quickly make a fortune, which is a huge opportunity, and only by seizing the opportunity can they become rich people and live the life they want to live.

The defeat of the Chu people was justified. First, their power is weak. Since the slave trade was just emerging, they had only just established a base of the slave trade, through which they wanted to continue to expand the slave trade. But after all, it has only just begun, so their power is still very weak. In total, there were only a few more than 100 combatants, nearly 200 people. And the weapons used are only entry-level weapons that have started in the era of weapons.

Second, this is an overseas operation. They are far away from their homeland and into a completely unfamiliar environment. The opponents, the indigenous people, are very familiar with the native environment. This geographical unfamiliarity made it difficult for them to carry out a decent military operation. That is, because of this strangeness, it is difficult for them to send a powerful armed force to intervene, and they cannot disrupt the military operations of the other side in advance. Speaking of which. The geographical unfamiliarity made it difficult for them to have a good chance of winning this battle.

The third point is that their weapons lack the ability to attack their opponents from a distance. The people of Chu did not even use weapons such as bows and crossbows. There may be many reasons for not using it, but the most important thing is that they don't have the funds to do so. But the lack of weapons is a fact. They don't have weapons lethal enough to fight their opponents. Especially in terms of heavy firepower. They did not have artillery capable of completely suppressing their opponents. As a result, the opponent quickly counterattacked. It is under such circumstances that the war is lost.

In any case, the Chu people lost the first battle. And the losses were extremely heavy. But they will soon get back on their feet. Because they definitely don't give up on this super lucrative business.

Moreover, the slave trade has just begun, and the people of Chu, who opened the slave trade and the huge curtain of the slave war, are unwilling to give up like this. Their nature is not easily abandoned. Because the living environment in the local area is too bad. So, they have a lot of incentive to expand outward.

And the natives don't know anything about what's going on outside. They don't know what's going on in the outside world yet. But they know. Enjoying the moment is the most important thing they should be doing.

And the people of Chu are learning this lesson. And businessmen are beginning to realize. It is not so easy to conquer the locals, especially since the locals occupy the advantage of the number of firepower, as well as the geographical advantage, the people of Chu must not know anything when they arrive in such a strange environment for the first time. At first, they could still use their weapon superiority to fight the other party, but once the other party counterattacked, the tragedy of the Chu people happened. In the final analysis, this is caused by the unequal strength of the two sides. All they have to do now is change that. And to change this situation is to increase your own strength.

But the problem is always that snake swallows its own tail. The problem is back to square one. They still lacked a lot of money to carry out the slave trade.

"We should buy more guns, buy more guns to deal with those indigenous people. Those natives are just too savage. We can't kill with muskets. It's just so barbaric. A Chu State man said. He was terrified when he heard the rumors, and he was looking for a solution. He believed that his weapons should be as powerful as those used by the Qin people in order to accomplish what they wanted.

"Hmph." When a businessman heard the conversation, he thought with great disdain.

You poor sour people know that buying guns, buying guns, Lao Tzu's money is not for nothing. It's earned back little by little. How much money can you make selling a slave. How much Lao Tzu gave to those who were officials. And those water pirates. Anyone has to give some.

How much does a gun cost, how much does a gun cost. How can this money come out, can Lao Tzu afford it? I want to be beautiful, but I don't have any real skills. Have that ability, kill a few more natives. Here you know to make excuses.

"Ugh." The merchant sighed again in the blink of an eye. He really couldn't figure it out. Why did a person who was equipped with such a good weapon lose all of a sudden. And this time I lost so much.

The merchant shook his head. He really couldn't think of any good ideas.

The merchant fell into deep thought again. Since war doesn't work. Then move on to something else. As long as there are business opportunities, there are always many solutions. This is a positive point. Just when the merchants of Chu State fell into thought.

The situation on the Qin side became deteriorating again.

"Dig, dig, dig every day." A Qi soldier complained. They have been attacking the Qin army since the last time. Their whole offensive stopped. This one stopped. A lot of people are also happy because they think that this way they can avoid going to death.

"Alright. It's almost digging. You'll still be alive to dig and see the people buried here under the mound. Just think about it. Your life can still be saved, you can still eat, and you can still drink. Still sleeping. Those people. I'll never wake up. A veteran scolded as he dug into the soil.

"Got it. Got it. The soldier scolded.

"Don't know. I don't think you know how uncomfortable it is to die. Think about how scary. So many people died overnight, and those who were shot. None of those people will survive. Life, just like that, I lost it. Poor thing. The veteran said.

"You know how to save your life." The soldier said.

"You don't know how to save your life. It's a life. It's hard to say. You look at how many people are around. I talked to you before, that night, how about it, I ate the gun. I saw that miserable. The veteran said.

"Half of my head is gone. The blood, yellow and red, was shed all over the ground. The veteran said.

This time. The creep stopped what he was doing. It was true, that night of military operations. They all participated. The three of his little friends who played with him from childhood to adulthood participated. But a battle came down.

All three are gone. The first day was fine, with some talking and laughing. said that after the war, he would go home and marry his daughter-in-law or something. But the next day, they all died. And the bodies were nowhere to be found. So many people were thrown into the big dirt pit. I can't find it.

"How?" This time. The soldiers of Qi State cried. Thinking about those people, he felt that this war was too cruel. They shouldn't have come. What does this war have to do with them. He felt very aggrieved. It's painful.
