Wu Tianxiao also judged from the situation, estimating that the other party had suffered something and wanted to come to Hanxi Village to take refuge. However, I have only been with these natives for two or three months, and I can't tell if the other party is really suffering. In case the other party cheats, deceives the door of the village, and fights when it comes, it will be dangerous.

That's when it happened. Wu Dayou and Chen Minxin rushed to support with people. When Wu Tianxiao saw Wu Dayou, he asked, "How is Wujiazhai?" ”

Wu Dayou gasped: "Don't worry, my lord, Wujiazhai is fine." Jia Youshi and Chen Minzhi led people to stay behind, and their subordinates were careful that there was something here, so they brought people over for reinforcements. ”

Wu Tianxiao was even more worried about Guanhai Village, so he ordered Chen Minxin: "You take some people and operate a sea boat to Guanhai Village to pick up Yang Hongju." If there is a sneak attack by the natives, they can keep it, and if they can't keep it, they will abandon the village and return to Wujiazhai. Remember. Personal safety comes first. Just go. When Chen Minxin heard this, he took the thirty or forty sailors who could start the training number to go to Guanhai Village.

Just when Chen Minxin had just left, Wu Tianxiao was still hesitating whether to let these natives in front of him enter the village. The soldiers who were watching from the tower of Hanxi Village suddenly shouted: "Be on guard." Alert. In the distance, many natives rushed at us. The crowd became even more nervous when they heard this. Wu Tianxiao even picked up the binoculars to check.

Hanxi Village is located in the plain, except for a Hanxi in the south, the east, west and north are all the farmland that has been burned, waiting for the next spring to be cultivated, so it is clear at a glance within more than ten miles. But seeing the mountains and forests in the distance, a group of natives were rushing over in the dark, and the number was estimated to be between five or six hundred.

The movement of the mountains and forests in the distance had already disturbed the natives in front of them. At this time, there was a commotion among the natives of Atayal, and some strong men held weapons to protect the women and children in the middle, while the women and children approached the side of the village, which made Wu Tianxiao see the situation of the natives on the side of Atayal. Wu Tianxiao found that there were only about 100 indigenous strong men in Yaqun, and the others were all old and young women and children. And it wasn't just the indigenous people who were alarmed, Na Yaqun looked back at the situation in the distance, and even screamed and shook the gate of the village. Crying and screaming: "Han people! Autumn noodles. Han! Autumn noodles. Then he knelt down with his legs outside the gate.

Look at it all in front of you. Wu Tianxiao's keen observation directly concluded that the panicked behavior of the group of natives in front of him was definitely not a performance, but was caused by the intimidation of another group of natives in the distance.

After making a judgment, Wu Tianxiao immediately made a decision, clenched the assault rifle with both hands, and ordered his subordinates: "All prepare for battle." Archers, musketeers all went up to the tower. The sword and shield bearers are in the front, the spearmen are in the back, and the grenade soldiers are on guard. Open the gate and let them in. ”

Wu Dayou, Jiang Zhuang, and Tan Lun beckoned everyone to prepare for battle. In fact, there were more than 200 reinforcements brought by Wu Dayou. Among them, there were forty or fifty grenades, and each of them had four bamboo grenades hanging from their waists in front and back.

After the gate of the village was opened, Wu Tianxiao stepped forward to help Yaqun up, and then pointed to the curved machete on Yaqun's waist, pointing to the villagers and saying that they would let them enter the village only if they put down their weapons.

Yaqun seemed to have no choice at this time, so he untied the weapon on his waist and threw it on the inside of the walled gate. Then he shouted for the group of natives to enter the stockade, and then consciously stood at the door of the stockade and instructed the indigenous strong men to unload their weapons before entering the stockade. Although this group of natives is messy, but the strong men are very men, first let the old and young women and children into the village, the hundred or so strong men in turn got off the weapons and entered the village. Wu Tianxiao carelessly counted these people, and there were seven or eight hundred, but there were less than a hundred strong men.

After everyone entered the village, Wu Tianxiao asked people to collect all the weapons, and then closed the gate of the village, waiting for the natives who rushed to kill in the distance.

It is said that Wangshan runs a dead horse. The mountains and forests in the distance were more than ten miles away from Hanxi Village, and those natives rushed and killed for a while before running to the village. Boy. Such people are not ordinary, hundreds of people are all young and strong, and they all have short machetes in their hands. There were also some men with bows and arrows, but the other stopped a hundred paces away and surrounded the north side of the stockade.

Wu Tianxiao habitually raised his assault rifle and aimed it at the chest of a strong man who seemed to be the leader of the other party. As long as the other party dares to act rashly, he will slam the person who seems to be the leader with a shot. Wu Tianxiao's trick tried a hundred tricks, and he used an assault rifle to directly kill the opponent's leader, which could instantly break the opponent's morale. It's just a pity. Now there are fewer and fewer bullets around, and I don't know when these bullets will be able to be made.

Wu Tianxiao saw that the other party surrounded the village, so he explained to Wu Dayou, Jiang Zhuang, Tan Lun and others: "You should pay attention to the natives in the village and be careful of what they do." ”

A few people were careful to pay attention. Then Wu Dayou whispered to Wu Tianxiao: "My lord." I think these natives are in a hurry. Most of these natives are women and children, and if there is fraud, these women and children will only be sent to death. ”

Wu Tianxiao nodded: "You're right. But we don't know how the natives can fight each other, and there are peasant women and children in our village, so it's better to be careful. ”

Wu Tianxiao didn't know. At this time, there were a total of more than 100,000 Austronesian indigenous people on Dongfan Island. There are dozens of tribes such as Ami, Saidek, Bunun, Gaoshan, Paiwan, Atayal and so on. Among them, the big tribes include the Ami tribe, the Gaoshan tribe and so on. The largest population is more than 10,000 people, and the few are a few thousand. The Atayal tribe is only a medium-sized tribe, with more than a thousand people and only a few hundred.

However, there are often scuffles between various ethnic groups for hunting grounds. And in order not to be swallowed up by other big clans, they will also form alliances. For example, the Atayal tribe, which is close to Wujiazhai, has formed an association with the nearby Nanzou and Dawu tribes to protect themselves.

The largest association in the north of the island is the Saidek, Bunun, Saixia and Paiwan tribes under the leadership of the Ami people, and these indigenous associations form a group, with a population of up to 10,000 or 20,000. And because of the large number of people, they often bully other natives in the surrounding area, and they also hold terrible head hunting festivals every year. The Ami and Yaqun are mortal enemies, and every time they meet each other while hunting, they will blush at each other, and sometimes they will fight.

And the head hunting sacrifice is like hunting, capturing and killing other indigenous men, and then cutting off the head to sacrifice to the ancestral gods. Every year, during the head hunt, whoever cuts the most heads will be the new warrior in the clan.

But today, this time it was a disaster for the Yaqun tribe. Monadao, the leader of the Ami tribe, suddenly united Mo Ba, the leader of the Saidek tribe, the leader of the Bunun tribe, Bai Gou, the leader of the Sexia tribe, Maleba, the leader of the Paiwan tribe, and Wan Da, the leader of the Paiwan tribe. Entangled five or six hundred strong clansmen, and carried out a devastating extermination hunt against the Atayal tribe and the Nanzou tribe and the Dawu tribe of their association. Fortunately, Yaqun is also a very alert person, and after discovering that the situation was wrong, he immediately led his clansmen to the Han village for help. But most of the three tribes of the Atayal Association were slaughtered after all.

But you must know that even the head hunting festival will not uproot an association to the point of exterminating it like it is today. This time it is rare, unless there is a deep hatred for destroying the family, or it involves the overall interests of the entire tribe. So. Obviously, there was something that made Monadow regard the Atayal Association as a roadblock that had to be eradicated.
