Chapter 62: The Headhunter's Sneak Attack

Of course, in the face of these oppressions, it is not that no one has not wanted to flee. [][]. [].]

Due to the language barrier, several Japanese slaves even whispered their escape plans in front of those Ming soldiers.

"Ono-kun, did you see those little sailboats? These little galleons are very fast, and if we can find a chance to grab one of them, we will be able to escape from this damn place. ”

A short, beardless man with a ronin hair said.

"You're right, we have to act as soon as possible, and if they build a fort in the harbor, we will be much less likely to escape."

Another short and fat man said.

"Why don't you find a way to escape to land?"

A very young-looking man said.

"You don't understand this, there are a lot of headhunters in Taiwan, and if you are caught by those headhunters, you will be finished."

The short and fat man hurriedly said.

He is a very experienced veteran sailor, and of course he is very clear about the situation in Taiwan.

Hearing this, the young widow couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and secretly swore not to flee inland no matter what.

As they spoke, another small, but handsome-looking man listened to them while chopping down trees, but his eyes gleamed with hatred from time to time.

"What are you talking about, I'm not going to speak, give me a good job."

A Ming soldier holding a steel knife saw this and said dissatisfiedly.

"Hey! Hi! ”

A few Japanese men who could understand Chinese hurriedly said.

After speaking, they concentrated on cutting down the tree, and at this time, it was just that they secretly passed on the eyes that only they could understand from time to time.

At this moment, a commotion suddenly sounded outside.

I saw some natives with tattoos on their bodies and feathers on their heads suddenly rushing towards this side from the dense forest.

"It's not good, it's a headhunter! Come on! ”

Seeing this, a Japanese man couldn't help but shout loudly.

With that, he threw down his axe and ran towards the camp.

The other Japanese men were also learning and ran to the camp.

At this time, there was no one who planned to take the opportunity to escape, because they knew that if they fell into the headhunters, they would definitely be dead or alive, and if they fled to the camp, they could at least survive.

Those Ming troops who were watching wanted to go and fight those headhunters, but they saw that the number of those headhunters was increasing.

was also so frightened that he hurriedly fled to the camp, and at the same time cursed in his mouth, when there were more of them, he must take revenge.

The headhunters made a ho-ho sound, and from time to time they fired a flurry of bone arrows (clusters of arrows made of bone) into the crowd, and some of the slower escapers were hit by the arrows, and then let out bursts of screams.

Some people will inevitably slow down after being hit by an arrow, and then they will be caught up by those headhunters.

The men knocked them to the ground and tied them up.

Just wait for them to be captured and sacrificed to the gods.

What happened here quickly alarmed the camp, and a patrol of cavalry soon rushed out.

When the cavalry saw the natives chasing the Japanese and white slaves, they quickly understood what was happening.

More than a hundred natives also dared to attack here, and they really didn't even know how to write about death.

"Kill!"

One of the fire captains of those armor cavalry said.

Soon the cavalry galloped towards the headhunters, and they first took out their bows and arrows, and shot arrows at the headhunters.

The headhunters were caught off guard and were shot one after another, and then a dozen or so horses rushed towards the natives like a whirlwind.

When had the headhunters ever encountered this kind of cavalry onslaught, the wars between their tribes had always been on foot, and they had never encountered cavalry battles.

Seeing the galloping cavalry, many natives were very frightened.

Some people hurriedly shot their bows and arrows at those Xuanjia spirit horses, but the speed of the Xuanjia spirit horses was too fast, and many of them missed.

Even if they shot, they were easily blocked by the Kaijia on their bodies.

The bows and arrows of these headhunters are so backward that they don't have much pull at all.

Soon, those cavalrymen on their horses slammed into the headhunters one by one, spitting blood from the mouths of the headhunters, and shattering their bones to death.

But the cavalry slowed down only a little and continued to charge forward, and the cavalry used their horses to pick at the headhunters.

With little experience in dealing with cavalry, these headhunters were quickly defeated.

These cavalry galloped among them, as if they were in a no-man's land, and from time to time they picked the headhunters alive.

For a while, the headhunters didn't even want the captives in order to escape.

But since they weren't far from the forest, they rushed into the forest where the slaves had cut down.

Seeing this, those Xuanjia elite riders could only stop helplessly.

is the so-called every forest, let alone their cavalry.

What happened here quickly alarmed Lu Yan.

"What's going on?"

He walked out of his room and asked someone.

"Lord Qiqi, it seems that there is an enemy attacking?"

This person saw that it was Lu Yan and hurriedly said.

"Enemies?"

Hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help frowning, what enemies could he have here?

Soon a Xuanjia spirit rode over on horseback, "Lord Qiyu, just now some of our logging slaves were attacked, they seem to be the natives here, our Xuanjia spirit cavalry has chased after them, but because they ran into the dense forest, they had to retreat. But they took some of our slaves. ”

"I really didn't expect it."

Lu Yan said with a wry smile.

He originally wanted to sneak attack those headhunters today, but he didn't expect those headhunters to strike first.

"Pass my orders and order all soldiers to stop what they are doing, to patrol the neighborhood, and to protect slaves and refugees. Those slaves and refugees don't stop what they do, we are short on time. Also, get me all the generals. ”

Lu Yan said.

Soon his order was conveyed.

After learning that a headhunter had come to attack, many people were very frightened.

Especially those white slaves and Japanese slaves, some of whom even arrogantly refused to work.

However, the soldier's whip soon taught them how to behave.

Of course, it is more important to have the protection of those soldiers, otherwise they will not be able to work if they die.

Soon, Yang Youji, Deng Zilong, Li Kuiqi and others also rushed here.

"I think everyone knows what happened just now. A group of headhunters rushed in and snatched our slaves. This is a provocation to us! This is a war that they have provoked on their own initiative! ”

Lu Yan almost roared.

"So I decided to go and conquer those headhunters immediately, they shouldn't have gone far yet, if we are faster, maybe we will have time to catch up with those headhunters."

Hearing this, there was no look of surprise on everyone's faces.

Someone else is going to cut off your head, and you haven't resisted yet, that's called a strange thing.

"Now I order all the Xuanjia Elite Cavalry, Cowardly Xue, and Qi Jiajun to prepare the armor and stomach equipment, and set off with me with five eagle cannons."

Lu Yan said, "Li Kuiqi and Zhang Shiyu also brought half of your men to escort those artillerymen. ”

"Yes, my lord."

They hurriedly said.

Soon the men went back to prepare their armor, weapons, and horses, and were ready to go.

And Lu Hongsleeve also knew the news, she looked at Lu Yan, who was inspecting the war horse, and said, "Big brother, are you going to fight again?" ”

"Yes, this time it's just a skirmish, I'll be back soon."

Lu Yan gently patted her shoulder and said.

Lu Hongsleeve nodded with red eyes, she knew that she couldn't stop her brother, so she could only pray that he would return safely.

Soon everything was ready, and they didn't even bring food.

The tribe that the last pirate envoy visited was not far from here, only about twenty miles away, and it was quickly reached on horseback.

Lu Yan soon took the Iron Eagle Ruishi, the Xuanjia Elite Cavalry, the Cowardly Xue and the Qi Family Army on the road.

These people all rode their horses and went first.

Zhang Shiyu, Li Kuiqi's men and some sailors accompanied the artillery on the road.

Along the way, everyone galloped and walked quickly along a barely visible trail under the leadership of Li Kuiqi.

Soon, they spotted the group in front of them.

Some of them were wounded, dripping blood from their bodies, and they were supported by others.

Others led some slaves and cursed at them.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves behind them, those people also quickly stopped, and then formed a formation.

Lu Yan and the others slowly stopped their horses and looked at each other.

About 100 natives with tattoos and different colors pointed their bows and arrows at them, and the slaves shouted for help.

At this moment, they all burst into tears, and their hatred for Lu Yan was long gone.
