The long night, chaotic, and scorching.

After quickly returning to the division, Zeng Ba led 800 soldiers to attack south despite exhaustion to attract the attention of the tribal coalition forces and collect the survivors of the small villages and villages along the way.

Lin Yingjia took 200 soldiers to 'escort' the Ma Huo family and the Babuza people around Lugeng Village, rushed back to Lucheng as soon as possible, and organized the people from the villages in the southern region to retreat into Lucheng.

Fu Yixin's task is not light, he has to be responsible for guarding Lugeng Village, ensuring the safety of the pontoon bridge, waiting for the troops stranded on the north bank of Bird Creek, and organizing the transfer of villages in the northern region.

The food obtained from the attack on the Pabra tribe is not much, and the mess adds up to fifty or sixty thousand catties, but in the current situation, it is particularly precious, and there is no room for loss.

And the Babuza people in various villages are certainly not willing to give up their homes, and they must inevitably resort to coercive means, so all kinds of incidents emerge one after another, making Fu Yixin anxious.

However, the most difficult and dangerous thing was the Zeng Eight Division, and when they arrived near Dingzhai, they encountered a large number of tribal alliances.

If the formation was set up and the conventional battle was head-on, the Song army was fully confident that it would defeat even a tribal army several times its own.

But the tribal army was like a swarm of poisonous bees, lurking around the Song army's marching route, constantly harassing with the help of night and complex environments.

They either planted poisoned tribulus terrestris on the road or hid in the bushes and silently fired stingers at the Song army with blow arrows.

Either hide behind a stone tree trunk and suddenly throw a javelin, or climb up a tree and shoot a hidden arrow from a high position......

Anyway, there are many tricks, and the damage caused is not light, and after the fight, they run into the depths of the forest, and Song Jun is worried that there will be more traps and ambushes, so they don't dare to chase after them.

Zeng Ba had no choice but to endure this kind of enemy who could not be beaten and could not be driven away, and ordered the physically and mentally exhausted troops to keep a close queue.

When they were about to reach the first military village, the tribal army besieging the military village simply withdrew neatly, and Zeng Ba did not bother to chase after them, picked up the sergeants and wounded in the village, and advanced to a nearby Babuzha village.

When they arrived, they found that the village had been breached and turned into a sea of fire, but more than 100 people were left tied up outside the village.

When I stepped forward, I saw that all the old and weak women and children in the village, most of them still had injuries on their bodies, and after inspection, they found that these injuries were neither light nor serious, at least they were still able to move.

Zeng Ba didn't have time to think about it, so he only asked the military doctors and soldiers to deal with them roughly, and then took them to continue south.

Later, the siege of the two military villages was lifted, and more than 100 sergeants were taken out, and all the seven villages that passed by were destroyed, and they were all the same as the previous village, and the old, weak, women and children were deliberately left outside the village.

By daybreak, they reached the southernmost village, which had also been burned to the ground, and the ruins were littered with charred headless corpses, but no one was found.

Zeng Ba originally thought that he should turn to the west, but seeing that the soldiers were all exhausted and a little difficult to hold on, most of the more than 1,000 villagers who were rescued were also shaking, so he had to order to find a vacant place outside the ruins of the village to rest for a while.

Although it was impossible to build defensive facilities, the Song army, under the command of Zeng Ba, formed a hollow phalanx and guarded its own wounded and villagers in the formation.

This is actually contrary to military common sense, because in the event of an enemy attack, the villagers are likely to panic and confusion, thus disrupting the thin front.

It's just that Lin Yingjia and Fu Yixin repeatedly emphasized that Zeng Ba must do his best to protect these Babuza people, so he can only do this, and he also thinks that the tribal army should not dare to attack head-on.

During the break, the soldiers of the Song army took out the dry food they were carrying and began to eat, and the Babuza people were also hungry and thirsty after being tossed all night, and the adults were just watching, but the children who were a few years old couldn't help crying.

Wan Sheng, who was following Zeng Ba's side, couldn't bear it, so he took the initiative to distribute all his drinking water to a few children.

Seeing this, Zeng Ba shook his head helplessly, and passed down the order to let the soldiers keep enough for their own needs, and take out the rest and distribute it to the villagers.

Then, the entire phalanx seemed much quieter, and everyone was silently chewing their food.

In the mountains and forests not far to the east, a large group of people were observing this place with high interest.

The witch Hatoya shook the feathers on her head and said in her throat, "Ruro, this is a good time to attack the Song army, if you can destroy this group of Song troops, even if you will lose some warriors, it will be worth it." ”

After listening to the Sheren translation, Liu Xikun slowly shook his head, "We Han people have a saying, the soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good, so going to the army to fight and plotting, and using wisdom to achieve victory is the real dragon and phoenix among people, I already have a clever plan to defeat the enemy in my heart, so there is no need to make extraneous branches." ”

Liu Xikun didn't care about the life or death of the so-called 'warriors' of the natives, but he just had a wishful thinking in his heart, and naturally he would not allow the natives to destroy it.

Hatoya's eyes were full of admiration, "Rulang, what you said is a clever plan, do you want to surrender after the Song people have no food, so you don't let those Babuza people be killed, so that they can increase the food consumption of the Song people...... Ruro's wisdom is really wider than the sea and higher than the holy mountain...... By the way, should we go and intercept the grain that the Song people grabbed from the Pabras? ”

"No, even if they let them transport the grain back to Lucheng, I will arrange to solve it myself...... Hehe, although a Fu Yixin jumped out and disrupted my original plan, but now that the chaos has been set right, it will only take three or four days at most, and they can only obediently surrender to me! ”

Liu Xikun had long understood that even if he supported a lot of iron weapons, it would be impossible for these natives to defeat the Song army, let alone capture Lucheng, so the original plan was to minimize the food source of the pioneer group.

It was quite smooth before, and the pioneer group really fell into a food shortage, but I didn't expect to find out that the Song army had a change yesterday, and then the intelligence of Neiying was also sent at noon, only to know that the Song army had a strategy to solve the food shortage.

Knowing that the Song army was going to attack their own tribes, the Mao Wu, Hongya, and Xila tribes couldn't help but panic, but Liu Xikun quickly came up with a countermeasure, and with the help of Hatoya, he persuaded the tribes to act immediately.

At present, it seems that the situation is completely according to his plan, and he is getting closer and closer to achieving his goal, so Liu Xikun can't help but show a smug smile.

He connected the natives in the name of expelling the Song people, at first just to complete the task given by the family, but later he found that it was actually a great opportunity to build up his own power.

These days on the island have given him a deep understanding of this rich place, and he can't help but feel possessive.

He doesn't have any status in the family, and he can't mobilize much resources and strength at all in the past, but now he has a high influence among the natives, especially the great witch of the Pawan tribe obeys him, if he can control another direct force, then the family will definitely value himself, and the position of the head of the family is just around the corner.

Therefore, he naturally hit the idea on the Song Army Pioneer Regiment.

Now that the connection between Liuqiu Island and the mainland is cut off, after the pioneer group is in a desperate situation, it is said that the earth and the earth should not be called spiritual, and if you don't want to die, you can only surrender.

When the time comes, as long as he gets rid of the officials who are unwilling to obey him, he will be able to use grain to firmly control more than 3,000 troops and more than 5,000 people, and the ports and towns established by the pioneer regiment in advance will also become his.

If Yan Lizheng, the leader of the family fleet, and others are also brought to his side, no matter whether the Fujian side is successful in dealing with King Yan or not, at least he can turn Liuqiu into his territory, and even it is not impossible to build a country in the future.

Liu Xikun also vaguely revealed this idea to Hatoya, and pretended to say that he wanted Hatoya to be his queen, Hatoya was overjoyed at the time, saying that he would do his best to help his Airo realize his wish.

Speaking of which, most of the tribes on the island are still in a primitive social structure, but although the regime established by the foreign forces five or six hundred years ago was destroyed by the Sui army, the influence of the relatively higher civilization has not been erased.

Therefore, the four tribes of Pawan, Lucca, Hongya and Sila located in the south of the island have entered the class society, and the land, hunting grounds, and fishing grounds are all owned by the hereditary nobles, and the clansmen must pay taxes to the nobles for all the income from farming, hunting, and fishing, and the public affairs of the tribes are usually handled by the nobles' council, and the four tribes usually take the lead of the Pawan tribe, which is the most powerful in force.

It was this kind of social structure that made the Song Dynasty on the other side of the sea mistakenly think that this had formed a state, and called it the Liuqiu State.

As for the Vaishan Kingdom, it was actually a tribe that lived on the southernmost part of the main island of Liuqiu, near the sea, and there were also several small islands known as Ryukyu Island and Orchid Island in later generations.

This tribe is called the Yami tribe by the islanders, it is a pure maritime people, it is a living by fishing seafood, it is very late to migrate from the islands of the South Seas, the appearance is very different from other tribes, and basically do not wear clothes, so it is called a country by the Song people.

The four clans of the 'Liuqiu Kingdom' generally adopt the primogeniture inheritance system, and if there is no male heir, the daughter will inherit it, but the Pawan tribe does not care about the children, and inherits the longest.

Hatoya is the eldest daughter of the largest nobleman of the Pawan tribe, and the chief high priest of the clan, with a very strong influence.

The people who stayed at home chose to land on the island from the southeastern tip in order to hide at first, and the first contact was the Yami and Pawan tribes.

Perhaps it was the personable little white face image of Liu Xikun that had too much impact on Hatoya, which made her move her heart and out of control, so she helped Liu Xikun wholeheartedly, which is why his task went so smoothly.

So for the sake of her own ambitions, even if Hatoya is ugly, fat and old, Liu Xikun does not hesitate to do everything he can to make her even more desperate.

At this time, there were other people in the mountains and forests, and Liu Xikun still did not shy away from holding Hatoya's fat hand, looking affectionate.

Fortunately, Zeng Ba and the others couldn't see this scene, otherwise they would have to spit out everything they had eaten just now.

After everyone had almost rested, the Song army set off to the west, and after rescuing hundreds of Babuza people, he returned to Lucheng.

Then, on this day, the vast majority of the Babuza people were transferred to Lucheng, and the grain obtained in Pabula was successfully transported, and then the Song army also shrank into Lucheng.

That night, several major civil and military officials of the pioneer group gathered together to discuss the way out.

Some people died, but not completely......
