After two days of preparation, all the soldiers of the Uke tribe were already lined up, and a hundred people were divided into four queues. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The easternmost side was the spearman unit commanded by Qin Baichuan, and from east to west was the archer unit commanded by Zhao Le, the emu cavalry unit commanded by Dongsi, and finally the dead soldier battalion of Karuman who was temporarily appointed as the commander of the dead soldier battalion.

It is worth noting that the troops of the Uk tribe are all elite, and they are well-equipped elites.

The whole army is equipped with iron weapons, and the spearman troops are also equipped with large shields up to two meters high and about half a meter wide, in addition to these large shields, the spearmen troops are also equipped with simple cuirass, that is, these cuirasses are also made by a group of indigenous blacksmiths who work overtime and stay up late.

Zhao Le's archers were all equipped with bows made of eucalyptus hearts, arrows made of iron arrows, but other than that, there was nothing left, and only ten arrows were placed in the arrow frame on his back, mainly for lightness.

The emu cavalry is armed with a long knife, that is, the knife of the sword and shield hand plus a piece of eucalyptus hardwood, and two short spears on their backs, which are the long-range weapons of the cavalry, also called flying spears. The mounts under the crotch of the cavalry are carefully selected female emus, weighing more than 150 pounds, which is the largest emu that can be found on the island, compared to horses, the emu is still too light, but it is enough for the slightly dwarf Australian aborigines. These female emus are all over two meters tall, and the natives need to hold on to the emu saddle next to the emu's belly to get up.

The battalion of the dead can be said to be also a spearman unit, but compared to the spearman troops, they have abandoned the means of defense, each holding two spears, each with a fierce face, for the enemy, as long as they let them rush into the middle of the ranks, the whole team will be completely chaotic.

Such an elite unit makes Zhao Le's blood boil, what a force, this is my future officer unit. Let Qin Baichuan be happy in his heart, is such a bullish army convinced? Whoever practiced it, me! made Zhang Guoqing smirk, worked hard for more than a month, and finally rushed to make so many ironware, but fortunately it didn't fall behind.

Zhong Lan is a little down, the army is so strong, but what about his own navy? In addition to the three ships in the navy, there are only Zhong Lan himself and Li Fugui, guarding three empty ships, who can have no complaints in their hearts, but fortunately, Zhao Le himself promised Zhong Lan that after he took Flinders Island, he would allocate fifty people to his navy.

Hehe, fifty people, let me show you how powerful the navy is.

After the group lined up, they waited for the navy ships and headed north. The group didn't bring grain and grass at all, what soldiers and horses didn't move, grain and grass first in Australia there is no bird use at all, grain and grass? Just these 100-strong troops still bring food and grass? Just a few kangaroos are enough to eat.

The group slowly sailed away from the small dock under the watchful eyes of the old folks of the Wuke tribe, and the leading "Fugui" opened the sails on the ship, and tied two thick ropes wrapped with iron wire at the stern of the ship, which were connected to the "Wuke" and "Wuji".

The two ships could only sail together with the help of the sails on the "Fugui" because there was no canvas to accelerate, but fortunately, the dead soldiers on the two ships were also rowing hard, so that the speed of the boat did not slow down much, and the soldiers of the Wuke tribe were all on the "Fugui", and it was also thanks to Li Fugui's rich family background that he could afford such a big ship more than 40 meters long.

There was only a small strait between Barron's Point Island and Flinders Island, so Zhao Le's fleet drove out for a while to the periphery of Flinders Island, and after directing the fleet to find a suitable port to dock, Zhao Le first let two small boats go ashore, and then came back to pull people over and over again, after all the people went ashore, Zhao Le left ten guards to guard on it, and the rest of the people were camped here.

Zhao Le, Dong Si, and Qin Baichuan each led a group of people to persuade the various tribes to join forces with the Wuke tribe, while Zhang Guoqing took the rest of the people to stay here.

Three days later, Zhao Le came back with people at the end, Qin Baichuan and Dong Si had already returned, when a group of people were discussing, looking at the faces of the two Zhao Le knew the situation, after reporting his situation, Zhao Le said happily: "This mission has been successfully completed!"

Zhao Le took people to the east, Qin Baichuan took people to the north, Dongsi led people to the west, and a total of eleven tribes in the three directions all agreed to Zhao Le's request and went here to watch the military exercises of the Wuke tribe.

The next day, almost all of the more than ten tribes who came and were invited came, and Zhao Le did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the military exercise to officially begin.

The first to appear was the spearman troops, thirty people walked neatly, their eyes were firm, holding a three-meter-long iron spear slowly walked past everyone's side, at first these envoys of the indigenous tribe did not know what the iron spear was, when Zhao Le asked the spearmen to show them the power of the iron spear, they immediately said that they would make a deal with the Uke tribe, and exchange other things for these iron weapons of the Uke tribe.

Zhao Le didn't agree immediately, just smiled and said that he would talk about it later, and let everyone continue to watch the drill.

Followed by Zhao Le's archer troops, when the iron arrows shot by the archers pierced through Sanzhihou's shield, the faces of these messengers suddenly changed greatly, who could not want such a powerful weapon?

But seeing Zhao Le's eyes staring at the drill tightly, all the natives could only continue to watch.

The most surprising thing was the appearance of the emu cavalry, when they saw twenty warriors of the Uke tribe riding tall emus appeared, the natives immediately blew up their nests.

"This is, this is an emus? How could they ride on an emu, that thing ran so fast that it was impossible for a man to ride on it, but, they? ”

"Do you see, there is something on their emus, as if it is this thing that they can sit on it safely." With that, a native envoy pointed at the emu saddle under the crotch of the emu cavalry.

At this time, the natives noticed that when the warriors of the Uke tribe rode on it, their feet hooked to the saddle, and there was a rope around their waists, so that they could fight directly without hugging the emu's neck.

At the moment, everyone was full of awe of this Wuke tribe that suddenly emerged from the southern sea, with so many warriors, as well as these heavenly gods, their combat effectiveness must be extremely powerful.

The last to appear was Karuman's Dead Soldier Battalion, although the equipment of the Dead Soldier Battalion was ordinary, but the bloodthirsty and warlike aura on their bodies suddenly made the natives present shiver.

"They are like the thylacine tribe in the north, such fierce warriors, they must have killed many people."

"I think they and the thylacine tribe are basically the same family."

"This, I remember, they were the group of people who rowed from the northern continent some time ago, but they didn't expect to be defeated by the Uke tribe in the south, I really didn't expect it." This tribe must be very well-informed, in this era of shortage of transportation and slow dissemination of news, they can actually know what is going on on Cape Barron Island, it must be a tribe that makes a living from fishing, only they will fish and hunt near the Bass Strait, and only have more opportunities to contact other tribes.

Just as the indigenous envoys were about to discuss matters with Zhao Le and his party, a loud bang sounded not far away, followed by a large sound of water, and Zhao Le knew that this was the cannon fired on the "Fugui".
