After five days of marching, the expeditionary army successfully arrived at the basin where the Big Chicken Coop Society was located, and walked slowly all the way, in addition to taking care of the baggage of the slower march, there was also a guard for an ambush by the Atayal people.

The only thing that is conducive to the march is the support of the Kaida Gran people, after the fermentation of time, the Kaida Gran people all know that Zhao Dahe blocked Shengfan in Shengqiu, and the fleet going up the river is to conquer Shengfan, so many of the Kaida Gran people in the village community have given the army help.

Some helped transport supplies, others fed the army, so when they arrived in the small basin, the army was in high spirits and full of war.

In the past five days, the Atayal have only launched two attacks on the defenders at the top of the Holy Hill, one in the afternoon, a full-scale siege, but the attack is not resolute, and after consuming the defenders' ammunition, they choose to retreat, but they have been attacking until nightfall.

In the second half of the night, Callau thought the defenders were exhausted and launched a sneak attack in the second half of the night, only to be resolutely resisted by the prepared garrison, which also failed.

The only result of the sneak attack was that seven of the garrison were killed and four wounded.

After that, the Atayal army moved into the large chicken coop at the foot of the Holy Hill, which had thatched huts and wells left behind by the Kedagran, all of which were fully equipped and even a defensive structure made of bamboo, with a trench in front.

Kalaw's purpose was clear: to wait until reinforcements from the Horde arrived.

In the morning, Kalaw woke up early, and after a religious service, he suddenly noticed that one of the commanders behind him was a warrior from the same tribe, Muro.

Murro was a brave man, a man of great prestige in the army, and had always been a strong contender for the Grand Commander, but thanks to the support of the Grand Wizard, Kalou had always held the highest power.

Kalaw walked out of the thatched hut and inspected the village, where he found that the army was very loosely guarded, and that this was all arranged by Muro.

Walking into the thatched hut where Muro lived, Kalou smelled a strong smell of alcohol, which was forbidden among the Atayal people, even in the tribe, because the Grand Wizard regarded it as a drink to communicate with the devil, and when drunk, the devil would come up.

There were leftover barbecue meat and messy clothes in the hut, and Mu Luo was lying on a bamboo mat, snoring loudly, and he was a drunken man, and he didn't even notice people coming in.

"Murro, Murro." Kalou called out to the guy, and the response was only for Murro to roll over.

Kalaw picked up a bamboo tube and poured water on him, and Murro woke up.

"Oops, who peed on my face." Mu Luo wawa shouted, and the bamboo tube contained his urine from last night.

Kalou wanted to drag him up, but he smelled the stench, so he had to give up, and asked, "Muro, how did you arrange it yesterday?" ”

Mu Luo rubbed his eyes, saw Kalaw, and said nonchalantly: "I arranged for people to disperse to investigate, and also arranged for vigils and patrols. ”

"But I haven't seen it." Kalaw said with a cold face.

Mu Luo stretched out his hands: "Anyway, I arranged it, but the warriors of the tribe listen to you and don't listen to me very much, and those who listen to me are dead at the foot of the holy hill and are stinking." ”

Murro's men suffered heavy casualties in the first attack, as everyone knows.

"Okay, you'd better be sober, and I'll leave these things to others in the future." Kalou threw down a sentence and left the house.

As the commander of the campaign, he has to show some fairness, and with Muro's brother and son both dead in the attack, he can't punish him harshly, or else he will be seen as purging dissidents. And the reason why he paid attention to Murro was that he was afraid that after experiencing failure, this guy would unite some people against him.

But seeing Mu Luo's appearance, it seems that he doesn't even have the fighting spirit, although he hates it, but at least there is no threat.

Murro peeked at Kalou in the gap in the plank, and when he saw him shouting and rearming, Murro couldn't help but snicker, and he said to himself: "Haha, let you be angry for a few more days, and when the great wizard arrives, your affairs will be over." ”

In the past few days, he sent his henchmen back to the tribe and informed the Great Wizard of everything here, and at first the Great Wizard appeared calm, but Murro quietly killed a young man during the night attack, and that was the only grandson of the Great Wizard, and the Great Wizard did not hesitate to side with him.

By noon, the Atayal armament had been renewed, and when Kalaw summoned all the commanders to go to the military council, Murro was the last to arrive, still drunk.

Kalaw arranged the next round of attacks on the Holy Hill, and it was at this moment that two samurai dragged a wounded hunter into the cabin, the hunter clutching his abdomen, where a crossbow bolt was inserted.

"Yes...... Someone entered the mountain basin, it was the army of the Fu Lao, and they shot ......at me with a kind of flat bow and arrow. The hunter said.

This is Liu Shun's masterpiece, and this experienced hunter has already escaped Liu Shun's pursuit, but when Liu Shun took out the crossbow, the hunter stopped, he laughed at the Fu Lao who couldn't use a bow, but he didn't expect that the bow arm was flat and shot a crossbow, and the experienced hunter lost his life because of his ignorance, but also brought back a useful news to Kalaw.

Kalaw, Muro, and the others immediately ran out of the Big Chicken Coop Society, looking west, where they could see the downstream leading to the outside of the basin.

The narrow mountain pass was blocked by tall artemisia grass, but the dense spear tips could still be seen reflecting the cold light, slowly passing through the mountain pass and heading towards the Big Chicken Coop Society.

At the entrance of the village of the Big Chicken Coop Society, the conquest army slowly unfolded, and after a burst of drums, the escort of the conscription army formed a formation in the center, forming a horizontal formation, and the vanguard and armed sailors were placed on the two wings, and behind them were the volunteer team led by Haruki, protecting the four gun wagons carrying the Franco.

The sun shone on the soldiers, the armor and weapons reflected the light, making people a little unable to open their eyes, and with the sound of drums, the soldiers shouted in unison "Kill, kill!" The sound of shouting and killing echoed in the basin, shocking people's hearts.

And Zhao Dahe and the others who were guarding in Shengqiu could also take the entire battlefield into their eyes by virtue of their height, and when they saw that their expeditionary army was magnificent, and the whole army was dispatched, everyone shouted excitedly, and shot continuously, calling peace with the expeditionary army below.

"It's ........" Seeing this scene, Murro couldn't help but look at Kalaw, although he had been trying to challenge Kalaw's position for the past ten years, but when the real challenge came to his door, he immediately thought of Kalaw, and Murro asked: "Kalaw, what now, attack?" ”

Kalou is the totemic banner of the Atayal people, the backbone of everyone, and everyone is looking at him at this time.

Kalaw turned his body and looked at the people below, many of them were pale, and he knew that his men were afraid, and their momentum was captured by the enemy, and they took the initiative to attack, wouldn't they be looking for death?

As for the combat effectiveness of the Oriental Trading Company, the Atayal people are now very clear, there are definitely less than a hundred people at the top of the Holy Hill, and they have already killed the Atayal people so much, and now that hundreds of people have been killed, do you want to bury all the more than 1,700 remaining samurai in the Big Chicken Coop Society?

"It seems that Fu Lao is going to attack us, we will first use the bamboo trench to guard, wait for the Fu Lao to be killed, and then rush to kill." Kalou said.

Many Atayal people breathed a sigh of relief, and Mu Luo also nodded, rarely without objection.

But the pressure on the Atayal people came not only from the conquest of the Oriental Trading Company, but also from the Kaida Gran people who came out of the mountains and forests.

The number of the Kaida Gran is more than seven hundred, of course, this is not the full strength of Atta, but this place is at the forefront, and it is difficult to maintain supplies after the people of the Great Chicken Coop Society have retreated, so Atta only brings these people in the basin.

"Ata, it's all your fault, if you hadn't come out rashly to join, maybe Shengfan would have rushed out to fight us." Li Zhaoji saw Atta and complained half-truthfully.

But Atta directly opened his arms and gave him a big hug, and tears almost flowed from his sincere face.

"This should be all your soldiers, you brought them all and left Tamsui City empty, this is the greatest trust in us, the greatest loyalty between the trading company and the Kedagran Blood Alliance." Atta choked up.

Li Zhaoji spread his hands helplessly, he felt that his internal organs were about to be squeezed.

Atta added: "Shengfan didn't dare to go out of the bamboo trench, it has nothing to do with me, it's all your fault, you have equipped your army with too much armor and firearms, even the most brutal Atayal people will feel afraid." ”

Li Zhaoji laughed, shook hands with Atta, and said, "Let your soldiers prepare, when my baggage team arrives, we will immediately launch an attack on the enemy, we can't stay here for too long." ”

Atta frowned: "Don't you wait for my reinforcements, our great wizard has brought a thousand people and is on his way." ”

Li Zhaoji waved his hand: "No, the victory of the war does not depend on the number of people, but on the projection of firepower, today you will understand this, if my conquest army can't even beat this group of people who are not neatly dressed, there is no need to exist." ”

At this time, there was a commotion in the expeditionary army, and Haruki's roar was heard.

It turned out that the Kaidagran people under the command of Atta saw the volunteers, and these compatriots had changed into brand new weapons, which made them full of interest, and many people ran to the volunteers, touched here and looked there, and the volunteers who stood there did not dare to move because of the cruel military discipline, so the greetings of the compatriots were even more torture for them.

"My gods, have you allowed your wizards to drain the souls of our Kedagran?" Seeing that his compatriots had turned into wooden stakes, Atta hurriedly asked.

Li Zhaoji said: "This is the army. Then, he said to Yang Yandi: "Yandi, let the Zhengfan army rest, eat, and wait for the order to attack next." ”

Yang Yandi blew the whistle twice, and the volunteer team hugged their compatriots as if they were on the body, happily showing their weapons and protective gear, but when their compatriots wanted to try it, everyone just hugged it, in the military discipline of the trading company, throwing weapons on the battlefield without permission was punished, the difference is that you can choose whether to be whipped or beaten with a stick.

Either way, it's extremely tormenting.

Atta also wanted to go and comfort his compatriots, but was stopped by Li Zhaoji: "You have to come and explain to me the enemy's defenses, don't tell me, you don't know anything." ”

Atta could only follow Li Zhaoji to his subordinates, he drew a circle on the ground, and said: "This is the village of the Big Chicken Coop Society, and the defense here was built under my auspices, and one circle is a bamboo trench, as you can see, it is a circle surrounded by thorny bamboo, which is very soft, sharp and prickly, and difficult to wrap around."

In front of the bamboo trench is a trench, six steps wide, not deep, at most to the waist position, but inside is a buried bamboo stick, falling is bad luck. ”

In addition, there are several shooting towers, the location of which is visible to the naked eye.

Yang Yandi asked other questions.

The defensive power of the bamboo trench is obvious to all, and it is useless to chop with a knife, and it is precisely because of the flexibility of the bamboo that the Qi family army used it to make a wolf whire.

"The trench is easy to manage, you can set up ladders or planks, the bamboo trench is more troublesome, Atta, can this bamboo trench be burned down in one fire?" As the commander of the army, Yang Yandi certainly has to ask more clearly.

"Most of them can't work, because this is newly repaired, originally we planned to stay in it with the garrison of the Dahe brothers, so the newly cut bamboo was repaired, and it has only been seven or eight days, and the sun is not good these days, maybe it can't be ignited." Atta said honestly.
