『Chapter error, click here to report』
The battle ended dramatically, and the native knights became the first captives captured by the Holy Lance Expeditionary Force since its first expedition.
Andrei's team has a few guys who are familiar with the indigenous language, but these technical units have always been carefully protected, and even they were reluctant to let them get off the heavily guarded carriage just now, but now they have a place to use.
During subsequent interrogation, Morey and André learned that they belonged to a powerful tribe called Head Hunters, and that the two hundred Dreadclaw Knights and three hundred archers were just the vanguard of the Head Hunter army.
And in the legend of their tribe, that unjustified natural disaster appeared in the form of divine fire from the sky, so they were so defenseless to the sound and light after the gunpowder explosion.
The hunters are brave and good at fighting, and they will hang the enemy's head on their waist to show off after killing the enemy, so they are famous for their fierce reputation, and they can often do things that are one enemy and a hundred, so they will not hesitate to attack when they see an expeditionary force far superior to their own number, and the result is naturally self-evident, instead of defeating this very weak foreigner army in the impression, they have become their prisoners.
Of course, in their opinion, they were not defeated by the expeditionary force, but by the divine punishment angels, which is the so-called "non-soldiers are not good at war, and the real heaven will kill me".
Upon hearing the news, Andre and Morey were both happy and worried.
Fortunately, they took the lead in intercepting the opponent's vanguard before the opponent discovered the large camp, avoiding a big battle that caught them off guard.
But the worry was also due to the fact that this army of natives was like a fish in the throat, and according to the captives, the chieftain of the head hunter suddenly woke up and immediately called an expedition to expand their strength to the "blue lake".
Thus the great army was very large, almost ten times larger than their vanguard.
Not only are there far more than these vanguard troops, but the real elite of the headhunters are also among the Chinese army, whether it is the Swift Dragon Knight who is good at riding and archery with longbows and giant arrows, or the headhunters who can use various special abilities with the help of bone witches, or those few but not afraid of pain Ancestral Spirit Guards, they can wipe out these miscellaneous soldiers in a matter of minutes.
And a vanguard force can defeat them with nearly a thousand casualties, if it is their army......
The number of the Holy Spear Expeditionary Force is tens of thousands, and it is extremely difficult to cover up the traces of such a huge force, and it is only a matter of time before the other side discovers its traces, and where to go has become the top priority now.
"Send someone to inform the troops left behind in the camp, first transfer the main materials to the ship, and pour all the rest of the materials with fire oil, once the camp is discovered by the other party, don't fight and retreat quickly, and then light the fire and burn it clean, not a grain of rice is allowed to be left for them!"
Andre, who has always fought more and fought less, is obviously not as good as Morey, who has experience in many major wars.
So while Andre was still trying to calm down in shock and think of a countermeasure, Morey had already said how to deal with it.
"Okay, Morey, you're good at this! But those ships are enough to fit those left-behind troops, how can we fit our army? ”
For Morey's decision to avoid his vanguard, Andrei raised his hands in favor, the opponent's vanguard troops have caused huge casualties on their own side, although the other party sneaked up first, but the strength of this natives should not be underestimated.
However, he still raised a small question, the coastal warfare ships he took the time to build were built to satisfy his appetite for catching seafood, but the loading capacity was worrying, if he wanted to load everyone on the ship, he was afraid that he would have to hurry back to build a raft.
"Naturally, our army will continue to advance to meet the enemy!"
"Ahh
Ignoring the stunned Andrei, Morey turned to command his own troops.
"You lead people to follow these natives to the location of their military camp, and take all the goblin explosives we brought over!"
Morey called the temporary commander of the city guard over and pointed to the trembling captives.
Just now, the dinosaur rider looked like he was lying on all fours after the explosives exploded, which inspired Morey.
Although these guys had tamed a ferocious beast like the dinosaur as a hunting dog and mount, they obviously lacked a correct understanding of the fire and the loud noise of the explosion, otherwise they would not have seen the city guards trembling at the sight of such a divine fire.
This gives Morey a chance, since the headhunter expedition has come here, and it is impossible for the battalion to suddenly obtain the blessing of the god of science and technology to upgrade to the fortress and fly to other places, then escaping is just delaying the time of his own destruction, and now it is to take advantage of the fact that the other party does not know that he has figured out their whereabouts, and give them a hard blow to win the final victory.
In their own plan, the city guards would carefully camouflage the goblin explosives they had brought with them on wagons, and the natives who had already been frightened would be sent to the enemy army, and when the time came, they would be able to obtain a bunch of bombed natives who were shivering on the ground with a little fire.
When Morey informed Andrei of his thoughts, the young master Andrei had no more objections.
He wasn't stupid as a member of the royal family, and after getting through the initial shock, he had figured it out.
You can't hide from such a big goal, and only by facing difficulties and solving this group of people can you really solve the problem.
......
Even if it's just a temporary camp, the head hunter has its own style.
The huge log slammed the branches off the tree one by one and smashed them into the earth, and then poured the [Petrification Potion] secretly made by the Shaman, so that even the charge of the earth-shaking dragon that could collapse the hill would not be knocked down.
Of course, as a symbol of head hunting, how can there be less bloody and cruel skull pillars.
On both sides of the camp gate, eight pillars of heads were lined up, the latest of which was the head of a tribe of about 1,000 people and the head of a warrior who had just been slaughtered by the head hunter.
Although the other party wailed and opened the door and knelt down in surrender when he saw the iconic scarlet banner of the hunter's head, how could the heirs of the great Ugandhar, the god of fear and hunting, accept such a weak tribe as slaves, and naturally kill all the ancestral spirits of the festival.
In the face of such a brutal and bloody sign, even the scavenging crows and vultures were scared away, and there was silence outside the camp, and even the insects covered their mouths tightly for fear of annoying the gang of killers.
And at this moment, a convoy of ten carriages was slowly approaching this headhunter camp that could not avoid life.
