Chapter 635: Extermination

"The bow is thirty degrees to the left!" With a shout from the lookout from the top of the ship, the soldiers on the ship immediately turned their heads, and when they were in the army, they were required to learn literacy and arithmetic every night, especially some common arithmetic knowledge, which every soldier must master, such as now, the lookout can point the direction of the enemy from an angle, and the archers below can also find the enemy immediately.

"Whoosh~whoosh~" With a few bows and arrows breaking through the air, several long arrows shot out like lightning, and a native on the river bank who was about to escape screamed, and his back had been shot by two long arrows, one of which hit the back of the heart, and he would definitely not survive.

The Dangu tribe is mainly farming and animal husbandry, but at the same time, it is often out to hunt, it is far away from the residence of the Dangu tribe, although there are many prey, but it is also very dangerous, so there are not many hunters here, since Cheng Huailiang They entered the sphere of influence of the Dangu tribe, only to meet seven or eight hunters, two of which were three or four hunters together, only this time a hunter acted alone.

"Something is not right, with the level of danger here, it is impossible for only one hunter on the other side to act alone, it is likely that they have already discovered our whereabouts, so the others have gone back to report the news!" Liu Kata said with a solemn face, he has lived here for several years, and he naturally knows the habits of the natives here.

"This is also an unavoidable thing, inform the other ships, go all out, and ignore the natives found on both sides!" Cheng Huailiang said calmly. Ever since he entered the Dangu tribe's sphere of influence, he knew that he would definitely be discovered by the local natives in advance, but as long as they were fast enough. You don't have to worry about the other party escaping.

Liu Kata's guess was very correct, and indeed a local hunting team found them. Moreover, these people of the Dangu tribe also recognized their origins, and they all looked panicked at the moment. However, these hunters who went out were the elite of the tribe. Therefore, they quickly thought of the best way to deal with it, which was to send people to inform the tribe and organize to harass the advance of the fleet, so that the tribe would have more time to prepare.

However, Huailiang was determined, he knew very well what his goal was this time, so he didn't even look at the natives harassing on both sides of the river, and even when some ladies shot arrows at the boat, Cheng Huailiang didn't let the soldiers fight back. Instead, they erected the baffles on both sides of the ship, not to mention the ten-inch thick baffles of the natives, even if the ordinary bed crossbow was far away, and they didn't want to shoot through at all.

Seeing that the Han soldiers on the ship ignored them, the hunters on both sides of the strait became even more anxious, after all, the tribe was their foundation, and there were still a large number of women and children in the tribe, if these fierce Han soldiers were allowed to break in, then their tribe would be finished. Therefore, although I knew that the arrows were useless, I kept shooting them one by one in vain.

At this time, the speed of the chariot and boat also reached its highest speed, and it sailed up the Sarawak River, quickly leaving the hunters behind. The other natives encountered on the way had no time to stop them, so they could only chase after them in vain.

Soon, Cheng Huailiang found that the forests on both sides of the river had disappeared. In front of them, there were patches of rice paddies. Although these paddy fields are very primitive, there are a lot of weeds growing in the fields. But it was indeed artificially cultivated rice, and not far from this rice field, a simple wooden camp stood there.

Seeing the camp in the distance, Cheng Huailiang and the soldiers were shocked, the hard work of the past few days finally paid off, their goal was in front of them, and what made them even happier was that the Dangu tribe on the opposite side looked like a mess, it should have just received the news, and now even the resistance force has not been fully organized.

"Dock! Landing! With Cheng Huailiang's shouting, eleven vehicles and ships quickly approached the shore, and some anxious soldiers jumped into thigh-deep water and walked ashore before the ships could fully dock, preparing for defense under the command of low-level officers. Although in this case, it is unlikely that they will encounter an enemy attack, but fighting is not child's play, and the slightest negligence at any time may plunge the entire army into an abyss from which it will never recover, so no matter when and where, Cheng Huailiang does not allow his subordinates to despise the opponent.

Although Cheng Huailiang and they are in the army, because most of Li Su's territory is on the island, the status of the army is more like that of the marines in later generations, and the most training they usually have is landing warfare, and after Cheng Huailiang came to Taiwan, he also made up for this knowledge, so the army of 550 people completed the landing almost in the blink of an eye.

"The whole army obeys the order, all enemies, there is no mercy!" As Cheng Huailiang's cold order came out, the eyes of all the soldiers became extremely cold, they didn't know what goal this mission was to achieve in advance, but when Cheng Huailiang said the words 'no forgiveness', they finally knew that they were cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and all the people of the Dangu tribe were their enemies.

Liu Kata was also taken aback by the changes in the army beside him, he had been in the slave hunting team for many years, and there were not a few people who had killed, naturally there was nothing in the world that could make him feel afraid, but now although he knew that Cheng Huailiang was his own person, he still made him feel a trace of fear, it seems that the army is the army, and it is not at all comparable to their original slave hunting team.

Under the leadership of Cheng Huailiang, the entire army rushed towards the Dangu tribe at the fastest speed. Although the number of Dangu tribes is large, after all, it is only a tribe, and there is no standing army at all, and in the event of war, it is only a temporary conscription of middle-aged men in the tribe to participate, so when they receive the news that the Han army took the initiative to attack, the first step is to organize middle-aged men to resist, but the news of the Han attack has made the entire tribe a mess, and there are not many people organized in a short period of time.

It is precisely for this reason that when Cheng Huailiang and them rushed into the village of the Dangu tribe, the leader of the tribe resisted with three or four hundred prime-aged men, but unfortunately, how could they, the rabble, be the opponent of the regular army of more than five hundred? As soon as they came into contact, Cheng Huailiang and them were like tigers entering a flock, and the first few rows of natives were cut down to the ground in the blink of an eye, whether it was equipment or training, the soldiers in Cheng Huailiang's hands far surpassed these natives.

"Kill!" Cheng Huailiang held a large horizontal knife high, and slashed down at a relatively strong native man in front of him, the other party raised the harpoon in his hand to resist, but unfortunately the wooden fork handle could not block Cheng Huailiang's powerful knife at all, not only was the harpoon cut in two, but he was also split into two pieces by Cheng Huailiang from head to toe, and blood and internal organs were scattered on the ground.

Wiping a handful of blood on his face, Cheng Huailiang's spirit was even more excited, and he rushed into the enemy formation again with a roar, relying on infinite strength, and slashed several people for a while, frightening the surrounding natives to retreat again and again, while the surrounding soldiers were in high spirits, and the slashing in their hands was even harder, but in a moment, most of the three or four hundred people led by the tribe leader were killed, and the rest were all frightened, running wildly one by one, without the courage to resist at all.

The only resistance team was defeated, Cheng Huailiang and they were even more unstoppable, under his command, all the troops were divided into a small team of ten, each chief was responsible for leading the team, and then divided into the Turen village, whether it was a man or a woman, as long as it was a person from the Dangu tribe, all of them were slaughtered.

Don't blame Cheng Huailiang for their inhumanity, for them, what they are facing now is a war, there is no right or wrong on the battlefield, they only know to obey the orders given by their superiors, as for whether this order is right or wrong, it has nothing to do with them.

The big tribe of 3,600 people, of which there are at least five or six hundred young men, only half of them were organized just now, and most of the rest are hiding in the village, so Cheng Huailiang They often encounter raids from these people in the process of purging, and there are casualties from time to time, but this has aroused the hatred of the soldiers even more, and they will turn into beasts that only know how to kill, and even start to set fire around the village.

The houses of the Dangu tribe are all wood and thatch, so they can be easily lit, and for a time the whole village is filled with smoke and fire, mixed with screams and wails, which looks like hell on earth.

The slaughter continued from noon to dusk, during which time the Dangu tribe rushed back, but they ended up like the rest of the natives, reduced to cold corpses.

In the end, in the center of the village, Cheng Huailiang and they encountered the fiercest resistance, whether it was a man or a woman, they all held on like crazy, because behind them was the sacrificial temple of the Dangu tribe and the holy place of faith of the entire tribe. It's a pity that for Cheng Huailiang, who is as determined as a rock, the madness of these people only gives them a chance to concentrate on annihilation, but there is a lot less trouble.

When the last few old sacrifices died under the blood of the soldiers, the entire Dangu tribe was finally wiped out, although some natives took advantage of the chaos to escape, but after half a day of fighting, the soldiers were also very tired, plus the wounded also needed treatment, and these scattered natives could not become any climate, so Cheng Huailiang and they were too lazy to chase.

Cheng Huailiang led people to count the casualties of the troops, of which only 76 were killed in battle, but as many as 237 were injured.

At this time, it was completely dark, and the village was full of corpses, Cheng Huailiang and they naturally would not rest here, and the bloody atmosphere here might also attract wild beasts in the jungle, so in the end they decided to go back to the boat to rest.

When they woke up the next day, when Cheng Huailiang and the others were about to return home, Liu Kata mysteriously stopped the army from leaving, and asked Cheng Huailiang to take people to the village again! (To be continued......)
