Chapter 46: The Killing Begins

PS: The second update is here! Ask for collections, ask for recommendation tickets and dream tickets! Thank you for the reward of the tears of the book friend Tangnu Ulianghai!

"Commander! The natives actually built the camp so close to us. Do you want to let the artillery battalion open fire and give these guys a dismount? Niu Meng, the commander of the First Brigade, put down the binoculars and said to Long Yufei. Officers of the Exocet are now equipped with telescopes, all of which were purchased through the Spanish merchant Antonio. It's just that the telescopes used now are all monoculars, and the effect is not very good, far from being comparable with the military telescopes of later generations. But even so, the officers of the Exocet were already very satisfied.

"Forget it! Let them be arrogant for a while! The artillery battalion is firing now, of course, it can suppress the momentum of these natives, but if it scares them away, it will not be good! Long Yufei shook his head. The natives want to fight the Flying Fish Army, and Long Yufei is also eager to do so. If the main force of the indigenous population can be eliminated in one battle, it will be much easier for the Exoces to exterminate the indigenous people of Mindanao. Maybe by the end of this year, we will be able to wipe out all the indigenous people. By the time next year, when the Exocet's navy is in force, it will be ready to take action against the two sultanates in the south and west.

The camp of the natives is very rudimentary, in essence just a few dilapidated tents. Moreover, only the patriarch and other big people can enter the tent to rest, and the rest of the people have to stay outside to eat and sleep. However, this is completely accustomed to the natives, and isn't this how they live in the forest? The natives who participated in this battle were very excited, and many even talked about how much food they could get after defeating the Chinese. For ordinary natives, the wealth and women of the Chinese, they do not have to be delusional, and they are already satisfied with a little more food. Of course, before leaving, the chiefs of the various tribes promised them that after defeating the Chinese, they would also give them some treasures and women. Although the natives knew that the promise of the patriarchs would most likely not be fulfilled, it at least gave them a thought, and it was enough to motivate them to fight!

In the largest tent, the chiefs of the four major tribes were discussing tomorrow's battle, Santos, the patriarch of the Rosa tribe, was sitting on the main seat, opposite was the patriarch of the Tuan tribe, Kema, on the left was the patriarch of the La Paz tribe, Kale, and on the right was the patriarch of the Boulder tribe, Kus. This time, the indigenous coalition was mainly based on the armies of their four tribes. The armies of the four tribes combined amounted to almost 60,000 men. The remaining 40,000 people were sent by the small and medium-sized tribes of the indigenous people, and these small and medium-sized tribes were all led by these four large tribes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time the timid Chinese actually dared to leave the fortified city and come to the field to fight us! I have to admire their courage! However, this also means that these Chinese are arrogant. Do they think that with muskets and artillery, they will be able to defeat us? Brave tribal warriors will definitely tear those Chinese to pieces! Patriarch Santos said excitedly, as if he had seen victory just around the corner!

"Patriarch Santos, I saw today that the Chinese had laid a lot of wooden stakes and pulled up barbed wire not far from their camp. Will this have an impact on our offense? Kema, the patriarch of the Tuan tribe, said with some concern. In his impression, the Chinese are very cunning. This time, the Chinese were completely inferior in strength, but they dared to take the initiative to leave the fortified city to face the native army, which made him feel that there must be some conspiracy involved.

"Humph! It's just some stakes! Our Rock Warriors can easily split those stakes and tear through their barbed wire! We'll let those Chinese know that a barbed wire fence can't stop the brave tribal warriors! "The patriarch of the Boulder tribe, Kus, is very disdainful of Kema's caution. Although the population of the Tuan Division is much larger than that of the Boulder Division, Kus believes that in terms of combat strength, the Tuan Division will definitely not be able to compare with the Boulder Division.

"Don't worry, Patriarch Kema, we have a total of 100,000 people this time, and the Chinese are less than 10,000! Under absolute strength, any intrigue is useless! Kale, the patriarch of the La Paz tribe, also said with a smile.

"I believe that we will win tomorrow's battle! If you have no objection, after sunrise tomorrow, we will launch an attack on the Chinese and completely destroy them! After we have wiped out the Chinese army, we will attack their cities and rob them of their wealth and women! When the time comes, whichever tribe kills more Chinese, which tribe will be able to share more wealth and women! Patriarch Santos said.

The rest of the patriarchs also nodded, and they had no objection to this distribution plan. As for the other small and medium-sized tribes, they were completely forgotten by them. In front of the four major tribes, those small and medium-sized tribes are just acting as cannon fodder!

On the morning of July 11, after the sun had risen, the natives were kicked from their sleep by the leader. In normal times, these natives sleep until they wake up naturally. But this time, they had to fight the Chinese, so they had to get up a little earlier. By the time the natives rose up, the Exocet were ready for battle. After breakfast, the soldiers had already entered the position. At a distance of more than a hundred meters from the barbed wire, ten infantry battalions of the Exoces were divided into two rows and scattered along a five-kilometer-long defensive line. On the artillery positions behind, Thunderbolt mortars and Raytheon 75-mm field guns were also ready. The shells next to the gun emplacements were piled up like hills. This is not allowed at the time of training. After all, if these shells are hit and detonated, the consequences will be extremely serious. However, the current opponent is the natives, and the natives cannot threaten the artillery positions located behind the defensive line at all, so the artillery officers do not care so much. If you fight against the Western powers, it will be completely different!

The natives dragged on until ten o'clock in the morning when they were ready. At the behest of Santos, the patriarch of the Rosa tribe, the indigenous coalition attacked. Tens of thousands of natives, howling and screaming, like wild beasts, launched an attack on the defense line of the Flying Fish Army. This time, the troops dispatched by the natives are all the armies of small and medium-sized tribes, not the elite of the four major tribes, this is just a temptation for them!

"Order the artillerymen, continue to wait for orders, and fire without my orders!" Seeing this situation, Long Yufei re-ordered it. If the Exocet's artillery launched a heavy artillery bombardment and frightened these natives, it would be worth the loss. Besides, against tens of thousands of natives, the infantry of the Flying Fish Army can do it with the rifles in their hands!

"Kill! Kill! The native armies shouted loudly, and charged in a haphazard group, with no formation at all. For these natives, they don't need to know the battle formation or anything like that, and in their limited brain capacity, isn't fighting a war just a swarm?

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "When the natives rushed to two hundred meters from the Exocet's defensive line, the Exocet soldiers opened fire. The crisp sound of the Flying Fish rifle sounded densely like fried beans. Because the rate of fire of the Exocet rifle is much faster than that of the breech gun, the Exocet no longer require the soldiers to fire volleys, but to fire freely, which can fully stimulate the potential of the soldiers!

"Ahh Screams continued to be heard from the natives, and the natives who were charging were hit one by one and fell to the ground. Some of those who were lucky were shot on the spot, so that they did not have to suffer the pain. The natives who were not hit by the vital point lay on the ground after being wounded, and let out a wail like the death of a wild animal, which made people listen to a creepy feeling.

The soldiers of the Flying Fish Army are no longer rookies who have not been on the battlefield, although everyone will be a little nervous before the battle begins. But after the battle began, the soldiers calmed down. At this time, it was useless to think about anything else, all they had to do was to shoot as much as they could, and use the rifle in their hands to kill all the natives.

The rate of fire of the Exocet rifle is at least more than ten rounds per minute. Ten battalions of Flying Fish began to fire fiercely, and the dense firepower made the attacking natives fall on the way one by one as if facing a raging storm. 10,000 natives attacked, but before they could reach the edge of the barbed wire, they were almost killed. After the rest of the people were stopped by barbed wire, they became an excellent target for the Flying Fish soldiers.

"Patriarch Santos, those Chinese muskets are really powerful. The attack of tens of thousands of warriors did not put any pressure on them at all! Kema, the patriarch of the Tuan tribe, said, and the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger.

"Patriarch Kema, this is just the beginning! The attack just now was just a temptation! Next, it's time for our main attack! Although Santos was also very shocked, he showed that he would never admit it.

"Kus, it's up to the Boulder Department next! I believe that the warriors of the Giant Rock Department will be able to tear through the Chinese defenses and kill them all! Santos said.

"Of course, the warriors of the Boulder are the strongest, and we will definitely win!" Kus said without modesty.

Subsequently, with 10,000 people from the Giant Rock Department as the main body, and several other tribes were cultivated, the natives invested a total of more than 30,000 people, and once again launched an attack on the defense line of the Flying Fish Army. It's just that this kind of play of adding oil and vinegar is just letting these natives die!
