Ten days is not a long time, but for the natives of Luzon, it has changed more than the previous 100 years. During this time, Binet and his subordinates went through hardships, and by the time they arrived in Bayunbang, the entire team had shrunk by half.

Not many people were killed or wounded by the Ming army, at least relative to the overall size, and most of them could not keep up with the speed of the brigade and fell behind. What happened after falling behind, Bina didn't even dare to think about it, although the Ming people were also capturing prisoners, but as long as they were young and strong, the old and young would not be able to be contained, and there was only a dead end waiting for them.

In fact, being a captive is not necessarily a good thing, the Ming people capture captives as slaves, and with their brutal style, it will not be small to survive and then be tortured. It is indeed difficult to determine which is better or worse next to the half-dead and half-dead.

However, there is no way to do it, either abandon those who can't keep up with the team, or the entire tribe's journey will be slowed down, and finally the Mingren's brigade will catch up and surround it, and the whole army will be annihilated. In this case, losing the car and reporting to the commander is the best strategy.

Although he repeatedly admonished himself in his heart, when he arrived in Bayunbang, when Binai saw Gala, who had fled here with other tribes after reporting the news, he was also saddened, and hugged his son and cried tears.

In Luzon, where the tribal system is still practiced, how difficult it is to expand the tribe, his tribe, after the accumulation of several generations, has the scale it is today, but overnight, it retreated to fifty years ago, how can he not be sad?

Some of those who came to Bayunbang were summoned by Gala, some were sent from other tribes, and some simply fled to this side spontaneously, or were driven by the Ming army, and other directions were blocked, so they could only desperately flee to the mountains.

With the exception of those tribes whose lives were far from the coast, the other tribes had suffered certain losses, and the Ming people came too quickly and violently to cope with the natives who had always lived leisurely.

Escaping death, coupled with the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox, Binet's cry infected many people, and the natives wiped their tears, and then wept, and after a while, the valley cried loudly.

The natives really can't figure it out, they haven't done anything wrong? Isn't it just to rob a few Ming maritime merchants occasionally, but everyone gets along well with another group of maritime merchants? Isn't this coming and going a make-up for it? There is also a disobedience to Wang Hua, who once killed a governor appointed by the Ming Dynasty...... But wasn't that nearly 100 years ago?

The Ming Dynasty is a big country in the world, shouldn't it be tolerant and supreme and convince people with virtue? Isn't it over a trivial matter like killing the governor, as long as everyone kneels down and howls twice to express their determination to change their past wrongs? How did you get to this point?

"Don't cry, is it time to cry? Akito is attacking from all directions, and before crying, shouldn't he think about how to face the battle? If we can defeat the Ming people here, then maybe there will be a chance to counterattack and rescue the captured clansmen, if we are defeated again, we won't even have a place to escape, at this time, why do you cry? ”

Although the voice of the caller was loud, in fact he was just a dark and thin old man. If Wang Hai were replaced, they wouldn't even be able to tell from their appearances that this person was different from other old natives, but Binet still knew him, and this person was the leader of the Kuna tribe, the second largest tribe, Nuno.

His tribe had been living in Manila, where it was the last target of the Ming army's attack, and Nono had always been well-informed, so he was lucky enough to escape with the whole tribe before he was attacked.

After escaping Manila, Nono had two options: one was to head south, bypassing the inner lake, to Lucena, and from there to the sea, or east to Naga; The other is the path he chose, taking the mountain road to the north and joining the other tribes.

The reason why he chose the latter route was because he knew that the Ming army came from the sea, and after bypassing the inner lake, they were not far from the coast along the road, and they could be caught up by someone at any time.

As for going out to sea from Lucena to the south, he just thought about it. Don't look at the Kuna tribe living on the seashore, but after all, they are also Luzon natives, and they have been deeply rooted in their bone marrow if they don't want to make progress, their navigation skills are almost none, and they can make do with fishing at sea, and if they want to cross the sea, the risk is too great. Moreover, he did not have so many ships to accommodate the thousands of men of the entire tribe.

This judgment is quite wise, at least at the beginning of the road, Nono thinks so. But when he walked to the end of the armor, he was stunned to find that this place, which was already very rear, had also been attacked!

The tribe that originally lived here has disappeared, and I don't know if they didn't hear about it, or if they were too careless to think that the Akito would not come here so soon. From the mouths of several survivors, it was known that this tribe of thousands of people was first secretly surrounded, and then the other side launched an attack from all sides at the same time.

At the moment of life and death, the warriors of the tribe also resisted bravely, but in the end they still failed to save the fate of the tribe, the opponent's equipment is far sharper than the natives, and the personal strength is also far above the natives, and the most important thing is that the number of the other party is also large. There are no more than 1,000 people in this tribe, and there are only 400 people who can take up arms to fight, but the other party has nearly 500 people!

With such a balance of power, it is not surprising that the entire tribe was wiped out. The survivors had escaped by going out during the attack, and two of them had witnessed the one-sided battle when they returned, but they were too timid to go out and help.

Looking at the ruined wall in front of him and listening to the stories of several survivors, Nuno only felt that his scalp was exploding and the soles of his feet were numb, and he immediately gave an order similar to that of Binet, ignoring those who had straggled, and heading north at full speed.

What are you kidding, the Ming army's march is so fast and unrestrained, if you don't hurry up, you may be surrounded. If it weren't for the fact that the more than 500 Ming people had caught enough prisoners along the way and were in a hurry to return the harvest to Rinyain, instead of building manors in the places they had captured, as the other Ming people had taken, I am afraid he would have crashed headfirst into the iron plate.

ran to Bayunbang in a panic, but saw a group of people hugging and crying, not to mention the annoyance in his heart, and immediately yelled out. His roar worked well, and the natives, including Binet, turned their heads to look at him to hear what he had to say. The natives have a cold surname, and saving people or anything is not very important to them, but resisting the Ming army is a top priority.

"First of all, the warriors of the tribes must be organized. Bayunbang is surrounded by mountains, although it is conducive to the warriors to fight, but the Ming people who came this time are no strangers to crossing mountains and mountains, such a large place, it would be bad if they found a loophole in the defense, so even if they can't unify the order, they will also score and send a good defensive area to ensure safety. ”

"What the leader of Nono said is that we have to send more men." The native chieftains chimed in.

What are the best mountain warriors, they put gold on their faces, Luzon has never suffered from foreign enemies, and it is really hard to say how powerful their warriors are. After the battle, I realized that the Ming army played as well as in the mountains and beat their warriors to the ground.

If a single soldier is useless, then it can only be made up by numbers, and there are not many people in a single tribe in Luzon, but there are a lot of people gathered. Nuno is the farthest from here, since he has arrived, there should be no follow-up people behind, and now more than half of the people in Little Luzon have gathered here, but there are as many as 50,000 warriors, which is enough to be on a par with the Ming army.

"Warriors must be on patrol, others must not be idle, hunting and gathering must be expanded, so many people gather here, and it is not enough to bring food with them and produce from the fields. Fortunately, the Ming army is far away, and the supply is definitely tighter than ours, as long as it lasts for two or three months, it will be fine in the summer...... "Nuo Nuo is not stupid, and he has also thought of the supply factor.

"Leader Nuonuo, this passive defense is not the way, or you have to find a way to counterattack is ......" It was Liu Laoxiang who spoke, and on the way to escape, he thought a lot, knowing that he and the natives, the original cognition of the Ming army was outdated, and it was not enough to rely on, and he had to deal with it with a new point of view.

"Nonsense! There are so many people in the Ming army, isn't the counterattack self-defeating? What kind of intention do you say this, could it be that you are a Ming person? Nuo Nuo glared at Liu Laoxiang and shouted coldly.

"No, Liu Da is our good friend, and he won't do that kind of unrighteous thing, and he also sent me more than a thousand weapons before." Liu Laoxiang brought it by himself, and Binet hurriedly defended himself.

"It's not good to annihilate the details, let's just guard it like this, and when the Ming army is tired, let's decide whether to fight or peace, maybe before that, the Ming army itself can't hold on, and send envoys to negotiate, they have always been like this, haha."

Nuno is full of confidence, but in fact, he has no bottom in his heart. The size of the Ming army's fleet was so large, there should have been a lot of food with them, and now they have occupied so many places, captured so many slaves, built manors, and if they start planting, then in the summer, they may be able to start harvesting, and by then...... His reason told him that Liu Laoxiang was right. Now it is time to attack in all directions, interrupt the speed of the Ming army's advance, prevent it from being encircled, and then interfere with the construction of the farm, so that there is hope for victory. Now it is shrunk into a ball, and it seems to be powerful, but in fact, like a turtle, it cannot pose a threat to the enemy, and it is difficult for it to last long.

But what could he do? The morale of the natives gathered together is extremely low, let them attack in all directions, and the defeat will only be faster, it is better to keep the same and hold on until which day is counted? What if Aketo suddenly becomes what he used to be?

At this moment, he was very nostalgic for the legendary treasure ship fleet of his ancestors, and it was better to get along with the Ming Dynasty who convinces people with virtue.
