Chapter 791
Chapter 791: A desperate fight
Of course, people will die in war, and the hunting team has been continuously reducing staff, but no one cares.
Although they were not included in the regular class and had no pensions after death, the employers all promised that they would be responsible for the funeral of the dead, and sent their ashes back to their hometowns, erected monuments to tell future generations that they had turned back before their death and sacrificed their lives for the overseas development of the Ming Dynasty.
The expectations for the future, coupled with no worries, were caused by these mountain hunting teams that surprised Liu Laoxiang and scared the locals. The locals in Bayunbang felt that they were surrounded by enemies and were extremely dangerous everywhere. They were huddled in the defense circle, and they were still in panic all day long, but the colonists' eyes were not simply concentrated here.
With the arrival of the hot summer, the main force of the Governor's Office has replaced the hunting team and arrived in Bayunbang. The main force of the hunting team has already begun to comprehensively clear the Little Luzon while besieging Bayunbang.
"Governor General, the colony has expanded to thatya. Going south, it is the Sulu Kingdom on the southern archipelago. Should I fight a war first, or..."
"Don't hurry, let them retreat. The natives in Bayunbang should have insufficient supplies, and the final decisive battle is right in front of you." There was a flat valley among the mountains, and a river meandered through it. In front of Wang Hai was still a sand table, but the simulated place had changed and the fineness was much higher.
"The urban management brigade divided into two groups to guard the north and south ends of the valley... According to the movements of the natives, they decided to do it. If the enemy breaks through with all their strength, the other team will attack them. If they break through on both sides, they will each face the enemy. If they disperse and flee, the hunting team in the mountains and forests will come in handy."
The sand table is new. After landing in Luzon, members of the geographical group have never been idle. As an important battlefield as a preset, Bayunbang will naturally not be spared. There are continuous mountains on both sides of the east and west, and the Plo Mountains on the east are particularly steep. Only where the Magath River flows through, the terrain is relatively flat, allowing large groups of people to pass through.
The tactics formulated by Yang Min are quite standard, but they use all the existing resources. He is also confident in this final battle that has been preparing for several months.
...
"We cannot break through the siege. If we want to leave, we will walk together. Those ghost-like hunters are waiting in the forest! In the past few months, eight of the ten teams have not returned, and they are all in the hands of those people. How can we break through at this time? Let's go together. We have many people, and we can even make a way."
"Yes, if you don't completely hurt the Ming army, you will still be caught up and surrounded by them. Everyone, think about it carefully. Isn't it the same as it is now? In my opinion, their main force is not regular troops, and their combat power is far less than those hunting teams. Otherwise, those who launch an attack will not always be hunting teams, and they must not be deceived by them."
As the saying goes: Adversity makes people grow, but that refers to a situation where they can get through it smoothly. At the moment when facing difficulties, those who are in the scene face various tortures. The torture comes from fear, and also from the panic that follows.
Compared with the smooth flow of the Ming army, the local people's military discussions were in endless quarrels from the beginning. The mainstream opinions were their own, and the trouble of tribal system lies in this. Tribes rarely interacted with each other in the past, and lacked trust between each other. They could work together to fight together, but when the disaster was about to come, they would fly their own way, which was the first idea that flashed.
Of course, there are also many knowledgeable people among the natives, such as Nono and Liu Laoxiang. In addition, Bina, who admires Liu Laoxiang, forms the backbone of the opposition.
What they said has its own reasons. In the past three months of being besieged, supplies have become increasingly scarce. The natives are not a well-organized whole, and there are also many people who sneak away in private.
Some entered the forest and never came out, and there was no news since then; some encountered a problem halfway through the road, and those who had lost their troops and retreated; however, a few of them went crazy and attacked the Ming army brigade.
There are few people in the hunting team, but they are elusive, so the psychological pressure on the natives is greater. There are many people in the urban management team, but they have never taken action. The natives have a simple mindset and think that those who have not taken action may be as kind as the Ming army in the past, or are weak, so some people chose this direction.
However, their efforts were in vain because they had no chance to rush to the target. As soon as they set off, they were already targeted by the hunting team that was ambushing around them. They were already killed halfway through the way. The real combat power of the main force of the Ming army was always a mystery.
Liu Laoxiang had a deep understanding of the Ming Dynasty and thought a lot. He quickly had some ideas: the Ming court didn't know what medicine he took wrong, so he incorporated a large number of bandits and exiled to Luzon, and used these cannon fodder to occupy Luzon, which was a good deal to make a fortune.
Regardless of how the Ming court changed his nature, the things in the bones of those officials will not change, but they will not trust others when they employ people. Therefore, the court also sent tens of thousands of regular troops to serve as a surveillance and supervision.
This guess was definitely not something that Liu Laoxiang thought of. He had secretly observed the Ming army's brigade. Although the soldiers' ranks and armor were still neat, no matter how you look at them, they felt that they were full of ruffianism and could not even restrain military discipline. The local army in the Ming Dynasty had almost the same moral character.
No one has ever expected the combat power of local troops. Like the local people, fighting a good fight and bullying good people is their specialty. If you really want to fight a tough battle with few people, you will be defeated at once, and don’t even think about their resilience.
The reason why the hunting team was standing in front of the brigade was probably because the Ming generals were concerned. He was bluffing, afraid that after the war, the locals would find that the main force was strong and the middle. In this situation, the locals would even scatter into the mountains and forests on their own. Wouldn't they send the fruits of victory out and let them go?
The collapse of the mountains and forests is just a way to send sheep into the tiger's mouth. They will only be wiped out by pieces and break through with all their strength. Liu Laoxiang has to admit that the old man Nuonuo is indeed a knowledgeable and capable person, because at this point, they coincided again.
"The Ming army in front is only more than 20,000, and it is divided into two parts, north and south. The hunting teams lurking in the mountains and forests are not large in number. Only in the mountains and forests can they exert their maximum combat power. And we, now there are 50,000 soldiers who can afford weapons, how can we lose?"
Bina shouted, not to be outdone. He compared it with pure numbers, and his persuasion was even above the two in front of him. There was no way, who made the thinking loop of the natives so simple?
"And, if you break through the scattered breakout, who will charge in front and who will cut the back behind?" Nuonuo immediately asked a more sharp question. Although he was not young, his eyes were not cloudy. He was stared at by his eyes, and the leaders of the tribe couldn't help but lower their heads.
"If we break through together, the two thousand warriors in our army will be willing to rush to the front." After suppressing the leaders, Nuonuo did not hesitate and immediately made another proposal, which attracted everyone's hearts.
"I have more than a thousand warriors from Binabe, and I don't want to fall behind!" Bina followed and stood up and said while the iron was hot.
"I, Liu Laoxiang, are willing to cut off the rear for all the leaders. Before the two leaders achieve the results, the Ming army will not attack everyone's back." Liu Laoxiang put down the last weight on the scale, and the leaders immediately turned their minds. The most difficult and most dangerous chores were taken care of. It is not fake that there are many people on their side? Relatively speaking, scattered breakthroughs are weak.
"Follow the three leaders..."
"Willing to obey the command of the three leaders."
The native leaders shouted in a mess, and the military controversy ended successfully. They didn't notice that when Liu Laoxiang or the two leaders were carrying others on their backs, a hint of smug smile appeared on their lips.
In this battle, the most dangerous thing is not the front or the back, but the side. The hunting teams in the mountains and forests must come out to rescue them. The flanks attacked by them are the most dangerous places. On the contrary, it is unknown whether the main force of the Ming army may be quite easy to fight.
After making a desperate attempt, the natives lost their previous concerns. They took out the remaining food and distributed it. Since being besieged, even the leaders of various tribes have tightened their belts to live. This is an unprecedented torture for the natives in the tropical areas. They have made up their minds to fight to the death, which is not unrelated to this.
After eating and drinking, the locals began to prepare for the decisive battle that was about to begin. Of course, the locals had fewer homes, and the so-called pre-war preparations were only to sharpen weapons and cultivate their strength.
I don’t know who started, but a song suddenly sounded in the valley. The song was very infectious. As soon as it sounded, it attracted the local people to reconcile, and soon it became a piece of sound. The loud singing ran through the valley, and even the Ming army tent outside the valley could be heard clearly.
"They finally couldn't help but take action..." Wang Hai couldn't understand the lyrics, but could feel the murderous aura and determination contained therein. He walked out of the military tent and sighed.
"What is singing in that song?" He didn't care, but Yang Min was very curious.
"The weather is very clear, and there are boats coming on the sea. The kind people brought good treasures from the Central Plains... Well, that's about that."
After listening to it for a while, the translator explained: "This is still passed down from the Song Dynasty in the past. However, in recent years, this song has changed its flavor because the local people's enthusiasm for fair transactions has become lower and lower, but they prefer to steal it directly. The maritime merchants in the Ming Dynasty either swallowed their anger or moved to the East China Sea. Some of them have also been packaged into groups. The local people always bully the weak and fear the strong."
This translation is not a pirate, but a local businessman living in a foreign land, without the Ming Dynasty supporting him. The suffering and difficulties he suffered can be imagined. When he spoke, he was also filled with emotion.
"This is called shameless?" Yang Min snorted coldly and said murderously: "No wonder when the Marquis mentioned Luzon, he became thunderous and furious. He personally decided on this plan to kill and destroy. Humph, he committed his own evil and could not survive. Tomorrow is the death of these monkeys."
