Although the living conditions were extremely simple and the outdoor temperature was not high, since they could make fires and use stones to keep warm, the court also gave each person a set of bedding.
Although it is not thick, if the mattress is spread on the wooden bed, covered with a quilt, and you sleep with your clothes on, you won't feel how cold it is at all.
It's just that at night, especially at the beach, the sea breeze is stronger. As long as the surroundings of the shack are blocked with tree trunks, it will be enough.
After the wooden houses are built, the situation will be greatly improved. Even if it is windy and rainy, it will not affect the more than 2,000 Chongguo Zimin at all.
Fishing in the sea during the day was very tiring, and he was very full after eating at night. Under the residual heat of the stone, Guo Dabao fell asleep quickly and almost fell asleep while lying down.
Suddenly, she started snoring loudly. My daughter-in-law, Ms. Zhang, had long been used to it, but her mother, Ms. Liu, couldn't sleep at night because she slept too much during the day.
It is difficult for the old man to get up and move, so he can only lie on the wooden bed and think about the happiness of his child when his father was still alive. This can be regarded as remembering the bitterness and remembering the sweetness.
After having a meal in her hometown, she didn't expect that in this overseas land thousands of miles away, she would be able to eat sea fish and even taste big crabs. Mrs. Liu really had mixed feelings about this.
It would be great if Dabao's father could also come here, what a pity!
There are few old people who don't like children, especially newborn babies.
Mrs. Liu's only hope is that Dabao and her daughter-in-law have a baby soon, preferably a bunch of them.
Although she is old, she can still take care of her son and grandchildren.
Just as Mrs. Liu was thinking about it, a series of black shadows suddenly appeared a hundred steps outside Chongguoying Village.
The black shadows were all staring at the situation in the opposite camp, and then slowly approaching the target.
King Chong Zhu Youqi ordered his general Gao Feng to send people to build a fence around the settlement first, and then gradually complete it into a wooden wall.
At the main entrance facing away from the coast, two one-foot-high watchtowers were set up, with sentries on top to guard the area.
Not only that, every night, there are mobile patrols inside and outside the camp, and they can sound the alarm at any time if something happens.
Since he had not encountered any enemy situation since landing, the sentry was lying on the railing and taking a nap.
The patrol team is just a formality, patrolling the camp every half an hour.
The entire camp seemed brightly lit, with a circle of torches outside and hundreds of bonfires inside, but it was all a bluff.
Rather than guarding against enemies, it is better to release wild beasts. At least the wild beasts will not approach easily when they see human torches.
Since the local indigenous people saw a fleet coming from the south and gradually approaching the shore, they were immediately frightened and ran into the nearby mountains to take shelter.
These outsiders occupied their original camp and built it. It seemed that they wanted to use this place to recuperate, which was unacceptable to them.
However, the natives also knew that the other party was not well-intentioned and had hundreds of large ships. The scene surprised them and they understood that the enemy was very powerful and difficult to deal with.
It was then decided not to launch an immediate counterattack, but to contact several nearby tribes. They all joined forces and planned to give these outsiders a heavy blow to those who were seizing other people's territory.
After assessing the strength of both the enemy and ourselves, the natives felt that a daytime attack seemed uncertain, so they decided to adopt a night attack.
Strive to kill as many enemies in the camp as possible, and then steal their food so that they are forced to withdraw. This way you can achieve your own goal.
The specific battle plan is to sneak up on them, first shoot the enemy sentries with bows and arrows, and then attack them in groups. There is no key point to attack, just attack wherever you can. No matter what, wait until you fight once.
When it was almost the ugly hour (1 o'clock), a sentry who had slept for a long time yawned and felt that it was very uncomfortable to sleep on his stomach like this, so he decided to stand up and straighten up.
"Well……"
At this moment, suddenly a black shadow came towards him. The sentry had no time to react and was hit by an arrow in his throat. He tried to reach out to grab the arrow, but it was to no avail. He watched helplessly as he died and his body fell into the watchtower. .
The sentry on duty on the opposite side, like this companion, was still fast asleep, and did not even have time to yawn. At this moment, he was having a sweet dream of hugging each other, and had no idea what was happening.
However, the front of the camp is blocked by large vehicles at night. If outsiders want to come in, they have to move their vehicles or take a detour to a place where they can get into the camp.
The soldiers were all fishermen and hunters, and they were all very skilled. Facing a birch tree that was one foot high and thick in thighs, they only had to step on the human ladder made by their companions to climb in.
For them, the fence deployed by the enemy is almost useless, it can only prevent wild animals from approaching, nothing more. Moreover, the camp was not on alert and was very lax.
Looking around, there was almost no one on guard, and the camp seemed very quiet, with only the flames whirring in the sea breeze.
More than three hundred native soldiers holding javelins and carrying bows and arrows quickly climbed over the fence effortlessly. As long as the next step can go smoothly, then it will be done.
"who???"
Suddenly, a man who had woken up at night looked over inadvertently and saw a dense group of black shadows appearing on the opposite side, almost holding weapons under the light of the fire.
This leader always had an instinctive reaction, and immediately opened his eyes, lost sleep all of a sudden, and started drinking loudly. If the other party couldn't answer, he must be an invading enemy.
"puff!"
"Ah...here comes someone! The enemy is attacking..."
This commander always saw the opponent's bow and arrow, and immediately took a dodge action. However, he was unable to react in time to the arrow that came in an instant. He was still hit by the arrow in the shoulder, but fortunately he was not shot through the head, so he immediately shouted loudly, Warn everyone.
Some sleepy people were awakened when they heard the shouting. They looked in the direction of the sound and shuddered with fear. The sentry who was beating the gong was immediately called by his companions. As long as the gong sounded in the middle of the night, it would definitely mean that there was an enemy. Attack.
"Dang~! Dang~! Dang~!"
"Enemy attack!"
At this time, everyone in the camp was frightened and woke up. The guy who slept like a dead pig was whipped severely. He couldn't continue to pretend to be asleep, otherwise he would have to be whipped.
Chong Wang Zhu Youfan was sleeping in his big tent with two beauties in his arms. When he heard the sound of the gong, he suddenly sat up from the wooden bed. Like an ordinary soldier, he quickly got up and began to put on his armor and helmet.
As the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youfan's first reaction was that his two brothers, the county princes, might dislike the position of their fiefdoms not being good enough and wanted to join forces to occupy the magpie's nest.
But then I thought again, I had treated them well before, and I had never been too rude. Besides, I was starting from scratch in this camp, so there was no advantage to be taken advantage of.
Conflicts between feudal kings are allowed, as are conflicts between county kings. But if a county king wants to attack the feudal king, it is an act of rebellion. Once the court knows about it, it will send troops to quell the rebellion.
Regardless of whether he is a vassal king or a county king, or he inherited it from his ancestors, or he was newly promoted and canonized by the emperor, it is a capital crime to use any means to rebel without the permission of the court.
Even if the vassal king wanted to deal with the county prince, he had to inform the court. Otherwise, once a precedent is set, won't these overseas vassal kings and princes treat the emperor and the ancestral system as a fart?
Everyone may be thinking so in their hearts, but they won't say it out loud, let alone do it. Regardless of the treachery, whether it is a vassal or a county, it will be unbearable if the imperial court cuts off the maritime supply of local goods.
If the fleet does not come, it means that the special products of the vassal country cannot be transported out, and the two parties cannot trade. In the end, the vassal country or county that is in trouble will die of poverty.
The local land is vast and rich, and not all vassals and counties will foolishly fall out with the court. Most of them have to rely on local support. I wish the fleet could visit my territory more times every year.
If you exclude the two county prince brothers, it would be the local aboriginal savages who can sneak attack your own camp here.
Zheng Zhiwan just let it go and brought a fleet full of sulfur back to beat him? Is he sick? ? ?
Zhu Youfan didn't have much fondness for the native savages, but as long as they were willing to get close to him and obey the royal teachings, they could live in peace.
Unfortunately, since the fleet docked and the troops landed on the beach, the native savages have all run into the nearby mountains. They sent people to look for them but were afraid of being ambushed, so they had no choice but to give up for the time being.
If they really came to attack tonight, they would see themselves as a thorn in their side, and they planned to get rid of them quickly, and they would definitely not sit back and wait for death.
"Maolin!"
"The general is here!"
"How's it going?"
"Back to your lord! Hundreds of enemy soldiers appeared inside and outside the camp. Judging from their dress and speech, they are natives. General Gao has already led his army to fight. The outcome is unknown!"
Qu Kuan, also known as Maolin, is Zhu Youfan's tooth general. He is mainly responsible for taking charge of the fifty-man personal guard. His task is to ensure the safety of Zhu Youfan's family.
As a general, Gao Feng commanded a "big army" of 300 people to conquer the enemy. These two people were also Zhu Youfan's main reliance in conquering the Kamchatka Peninsula.
Zhu Youfan was very worried. The prince didn't know how many native savages lived on the island, so he could only tell Zhu Youfan to be more careful, especially after nightfall, and to keep his men on strict alert to guard against enemy sneak attacks.
When he came to the new fiefdom, Zhu Youfan did the same thing. However, his men were not elite soldiers, so they could just make do with it. No matter how worried I am, it will be of no use until something happens.
Just by listening with his ears, Zhu Youfan could tell that the other party had already invaded the camp, and he was very good at picking the time, so that he would attack after he had separated from the two brothers.
But no matter where the enemy comes from on the island, they must be driven back, otherwise he and Chong Guo Zimin will jump into the sea to feed the fish, repeating the tragic scene of Zhao Song.
The prince said that Zhao Song went downhill all the way from the beginning of the founding of the country, and was finally destroyed by Admiral Meng Gu. It was a huge joke, and he was really the one to blame.
Zhu Youfan did not want to be the first Ming vassal king to be killed by indigenous savages, nor did he want to become a joke in the eyes of other vassal kings, so he decided to fight to the death with the invading enemy.
Come as much as a hundred!
Come as much as a thousand!
All must be repulsed!
Otherwise, tonight will be the death of himself and Zimin.
"Come on! Don't retreat! Kill an enemy soldier and you'll be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"
Gao Feng, with about 200 defenders who had just assembled, was fighting with a group of native soldiers who had invaded the camp. However, the defenders were caught off guard. Lai Fo Langji had no time to reload, and they got into a melee with the indigenous savages.
The peak amount of the reward cannot be set too high. If hundreds of people are killed, how can I ask the prince for the reward later?
Hearing that there was a reward for killing the enemy, the defenders' morale was greatly boosted after hearing this. However, the other party was also unkind and not just an ordinary person who came to kill the enemy. The two sides were actually fighting inextricably.
It's no wonder that of the three hundred soldiers under Gao Feng, only fifty were former officers and soldiers, and the rest were young men who had been recruited into the army. They trained in the capital for a while before boarding the ship and heading north.
If there is no training, I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand the formation in front of me. Even so, I will be beaten by the opponent and retreat again and again, in a state of embarrassment.
Gao Feng waved the sword in his hand and killed two enemy soldiers in a row. Then he looked at the situation on the battlefield and found that the opponent had more troops than himself and had the upper hand.
"Woo..."
At this moment, a melodious horn sound suddenly sounded, and the vehicles blocking the main entrance were pulled away by the enemy soldiers. Seeing the enemy horsemen filing in from the main entrance, Gao Feng suddenly felt that the situation was not good.
When the enemy troops rushed closer, Gao Feng discovered that the opponents were actually riding stags with huge antlers on their heads!
This stag is so large that just by looking at it, you can infer that it weighs as much as some of the native mules and horses.
The most terrifying thing is not the enemy's pawns, but the pair of extremely huge antlers on the stag's head.
These animals lowered their heads and charged, often catching the defenders off guard and being gored to death by their antlers.
The reaction speed of animals is much higher than that of ordinary people, so only experienced hunters can restrain it.
The guard soldier also wanted to chop the antlers with his knife, but before he could hit the target, he flew into the air.
After a short while, the defenders' defense line was riddled with holes and chaos by this sudden enemy force.
Does this method work? ? ?
Gao Feng couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, and for a moment he couldn't think of any way to stop it.
Seeing that the situation took a turn for the worse, Chongguo's soldiers and horses were killed and they retreated continuously, leaving Gao Feng helpless.
"boom……"
Suddenly there was an explosion of artillery, and the enemy soldiers who were assassinating were hit by the shells, and they fell to the ground together with the deer.
"Speed-change gun!"
"Fire the blunderbuss!"
"Pa bang bang..."
Zhu Youfan knew that this was a critical moment, so he decided to lead the expedition in person, and rushed to the main battlefield with Qu Kuan's twenty soldiers and more than thirty soldiers who had gathered.
They also brought two small guns. After loading the cannons, they also aimed at the enemy soldiers on the opposite side and fired frequently.
Although it was a night battle, the distance between the two sides was very close, and there were dozens of bonfires lighting up the surroundings, so it was not difficult to aim.
The native savages were immediately killed and wounded more than twenty people. Three soldiers who were riding deer were also knocked over. They were very frightened when they saw this.
"boom……"
Taking advantage of the advantage of the gun, the reloading speed of the Folang machine is very fast, and the firing frequency is more than twice as fast as that of a well-trained gunman.
Before the enemy could launch a frenzied counterattack, the two Franchise machines opened fire one after another, once again spewing out flames symbolizing revenge and death.
A certain prince believed that in the war against the natives, as long as the vassal soldiers and horses used firearms properly, they would be invincible, except for a few idiots.
"Kill me!"
After seeing the powerful power of the Fo Lang machine, Zhu Youyi became calm and ordered the gunners to quickly load their muskets and blast at the enemy.
After realizing that this thing was very powerful, dozens of native savages just rushed up and wanted to take away this temporary gun emplacement. As a result, they encountered the third fire of the Franco machine and were immediately knocked down by grape bullets.
The native savages did not know the power of firearms, let alone the power of the Folangji, so they suffered a big loss during the attack.
They launched two charges in a row, and ultimately paid a heavy price with more than 50 casualties, but failed to get what they wanted...
