Yin Xian, who received a large amount of military supplies, returned to Blackwater City two months later.
Blackwater City was built at the mouth of the Blackwater River. Not only is the land here fertile, but it can also generally remain frost-free during the cold winter.
For the Blackwater Protectorate, which is far away from the Central Plains, only water transport is the most suitable.
When Yin Xian returned to Blackwater City, he not only brought back ten large ships, but also thousands of sailors and crew.
More importantly, they also brought dozens of imperial students from Luoyang and dozens of Confucian doctors sent from Qufu Yan Shengjun.
These imperial students were sent by Liu Yu specifically to draw maps of the New World.
Due to the great development of observational astronomy, Luoyang Taisheng students can now calculate approximate longitude and latitude based on the sun, moon and stars, which means they can make more accurate maps.
Liu Yu felt that since it was not possible to completely colonize the New World, it was necessary to master the preparation materials.
In Blackwater City, Yin Xian and his men were ready to set out again.
This time, more than a dozen large ships headed towards the sea along the island chain.
When they arrived again, the local indigenous barbarians immediately received the news and came to greet them excitedly.
The elders of this tribe almost regarded the arrival of Yin Xian and others as gods.
Yin Xian ordered his men to complete the transaction with a large number of copper and iron utensils.
This time not only gold, silver, jewelry and other items were traded, Yin Xian also reached another transaction with the other party through the use of both hands and mouth.
That is to obtain a piece of land close to the sea.
Yin Xian will build a dock, a dock, and a tall lighthouse here.
Because the scale will become larger and larger in the future, there must be a suitable foothold.
Yin Xian led his troops to dig trenches on the seashore to collect soil, and cut down the surrounding wood. They soon built a simple dock about one foot high.
The outer perimeter of the fort was defended by ditches and horses, leading to the pier on the seaside.
The establishment of this terminal is even simpler.
The trees here are extremely tall, and trees more than ten feet tall are commonplace.
After using dozens of precious war horses and oxen, these huge felled logs were finally transported to the seaside.
After some simple nailing, these logs were inserted into the sea water to build a simple dock.
In just one month, a large-scale fortress was built on the seaside.
The white buffalo tribe next to them all knelt down and prayed to the sky after seeing the completed fort.
As a language genius, Yin Xian can already communicate with these indigenous people very fluently.
This barbarian tribe calls itself the White Bison. Legend has it that their ancestors chased a white buffalo to arrive here, and then settled here after capturing the white buffalo.
However, according to Yin Xian's observation, these barbarians are not actually settled at all.
Their farming skills are very poor and their memory is not very good.
Often, some strange crop seeds are sown in a piece of land, and then they are never taken care of again.
In fact, many times the harvest is not harvested that year, but often has to wait until the second or even third year.
Think about that output, it's absolutely impressive.
It's a shame to settle down on horseback, just continue chasing, fishing and hunting.
"Xian Shen, our White Buffalo tribe is willing to respect you as the messengers of the gods. As the messengers of the gods, shouldn't you protect us?"
On this day, Yin Xian and his men had just strengthened the defense of the Wubao on the seaside. They were about to send people to hunt bison in the wild and come back for dinner, but they met Hei Lang, the elder of the White Bison tribe.
"Old Bai, are you in trouble?"
Yin Xian affectionately called the elder of the White Buffalo tribe the name he gave him.
Encouraged by the large number of novelty gadgets, the entire White Buffalo tribe has regarded Yin Xian and the others as gods-like figures.
Even if he is not a god, he should still be the messenger of the god.
Especially with the construction of the fortified city of Wubao and the tall lighthouse, Yin Xian's image as gods was consolidated.
"Now our White Bison Tribe is in trouble. The Black Bear Tribe in the south and others have robbed our land and are not allowing us to cross the river to hunt. Therefore, we must take revenge and take back our hunting grounds. We We want you to help us.”
Elder Bai Heilang said matter-of-factly.
According to his divination last night, these gods will help them defeat their enemies and regain their land.
Now that God has given this hint, there is no need for White and Black Wolf to be polite.
"How do you want us to help you?" Yin Xian asked.
This white buffalo tribe is neither big nor small.
There are more than two hundred strong men, big and small, who can be bullied by the surrounding tribes, which means that the enemy is far stronger than them.
These savage tribes live in a vast and sparsely populated area, and must be far apart. Yin Xian has no intention of intervening in their conflicts.
"You can fight with us, or lend us fifty of your artifacts!" Baiheilang said.
"Fifty artifacts? Don't you have more than 200 people? Why only fifty?" Yin Xian asked.
The so-called artifacts are actually ordinary daggers. These daggers are steel knives about two feet long and are used as cutting tools.
However, for the White Bison tribe who cannot smelt, it is an absolute artifact.
It was infinitely stronger than the wooden sticks and bone knives in their hands.
"Fifty, that's fifty!" Elder Bai Heilang repeated again.
When Yin Xian saw it, he thought he was very principled.
In fact, the real reason is that the white and black wolf elder can only count to fifty!
As for over fifty, whether it was twelve or forty, he was a little confused.
Yin Xian thought for a while and decided to agree to their request.
However, he also put forward conditions.
"Since you all know that we are people sent by the gods, we must follow the teachings of the gods." Yin Xian said.
This sentence is not a lie, they came under the emperor's order.
The emperor is already the son of heaven, so he is naturally a god.
"Yeah, yeah." Elder Baiheilang nodded like a little Mengtong.
"First, from now on, everyone in your tribe must learn to speak our language, read and teach."
"Second, from now on, you must fear the emperor and gods together with us, and hire people for us to build cities and fortresses."
Faced with these two conditions, Elder Bai Heilang listened half-heartedly, but nodded without hesitation.
Although I don’t understand why they are asked to speak God’s language, there is no harm in it.
As for the second article, to fear gods, that is their innate belief.
Seeing that Elder Bai agreed to his request, Yin Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since he agreed to these two items, the third item should not be difficult.
"Item 3: You have to help us get back women. At least a thousand people. Oh, a thousand is a bit too much. Let's start with at least 200!" Elder Bai Heilang didn't even think about Yin Xian's request. I agreed to them all.
For them, there is no strong clan concept at all, and they don't care about where women belong.
Especially the plundered women from other tribes.
Isn't it normal to offer some women to the messengers of the gods?
However, Elder Bai Heilang agreed to the request, but there was no chance of it coming true.
Because not two days have passed.
On the tower of Wubao, the sentries of the Blackwater Protectorate discovered something strange.
"Captain, there are a large number of barbarians coming from a distance. They don't look like good people!" The sentry leader immediately came to report.
"What, there are no good people here to begin with."
Yin Xian was very disdainful of this statement.
When he walked to the tower, he happened to see patches of black smoke in the distance.
The location of the White Buffalo Tribe was already a sea of fire.
"This is a raid."
Yin Xian took out a telescope and observed the situation in the distance.
At this time, a large number of people came in a hurry outside the camp.
The leader is none other than the Black Wolf Elder of the White Buffalo Tribe.
"Gods, please save us and let us in!"
Faced with these people's demands, Yin Xian decisively ordered the door to be opened to admit these more than 100 indigenous people.
When they came in, Yin Xiancai learned about the situation.
"Three tribes that have enmity with us have united to attack us. Our tribe has been destroyed."
Elder Hei Lang quickly informed Yin Xian of the situation.
Only then did Yin Xian understand. .
It turned out that the enemy struck first and wiped out the White Buffalo tribe.
"Guardian, it's bad, those barbarians are already heading here!"
A sentry on perimeter alert came in to report.
"how many people?"
"There must be at least two thousand people!"
"More than two thousand people?"
Yin Xian couldn't help but frown.
Under normal circumstances, the Han army here would be able to overwhelm them in terms of numbers, not to mention their superior equipment.
However, it just happened to be unlucky.
The Han army discovered some locations that were very likely to contain gold mines at a coastal river mouth in the south.
Most of the Han soldiers left here.
There are now less than 300 sergeants in Wubao.
"Send the order and prepare for war!"
Yin Xian immediately issued the order.
As the horns sounded on the Wubao tower, all the Han soldiers were neatly dressed and took their positions to prepare for the attack.
About half an hour passed.
Large numbers of indigenous savages finally approached.
When these indigenous savages wearing animal skins and linen clothes and holding big sticks and bone spears approached, they were all shocked by the 'huge' dock in front of them.
They had never seen anything of this magnitude.
Not only the wide trench, but also the high walls built with rammed earth logs were something they had never seen before.
As for the tall sentry tower and even taller lighthouse, they were things they had never thought about.
These savage warriors were all stunned by the buildings in front of them.
However, their people had already figured out the situation.
The fugitives from the White Buffalo Tribe fled here.
Since there is no trace of them outside, they must be hiding inside.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
As a trumpet sounded, dozens of Han army archers took up their respective positions.
As long as these savages dare to approach, there will be a hail of arrows.
"God, these people are the most greedy poisonous snakes, we must not let them in!"
Elder Heilang spoke to Yin Xian in unskilled Chinese.
"You tell them that if they don't want to die, they should leave here as soon as possible."
Yin Xian grabbed Elder Black Wolf and asked him to act as the translator and shout to the savage leader outside.
After a conversation, the savages outside not only showed no intention of retreating, but had already begun to make ladders out of logs and ropes.
"Haha, these guys are looking for death!"
When Yin Xian saw this, he smiled meaningfully.
Although the height of the current Wubao is not high, for those without armor and weapons, this will be the place where they die.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
With waves of shouts, these barbarian warriors were already ready to charge.
Yin Xian also personally led a hundred people in formation outside Wubao, ready to kill at any time.
Yin Xian, who was outside the city wall, had eyes wide open and staring at the enemy in front of him.
"Line up, raise your shield, and hold your gun!"
Yin Xian roared and ordered, issuing the final formation request.
Yin Xian held a spear in his hand and was already ready for battle.
"Wow!"
With a roar, nearly a thousand savage warriors rushed forward.
Yin Xian saw a yellow-faced savage running towards him in front of him. When he was only a few steps away, the black-armored soldier suddenly threw a large wooden stick studded with gems in his hand towards Yin Xian.
The whistling 'jeweled wooden stick' made a circle and hit Yin Xian's face.
"Good grandson!"
Yin Xian sneered, and with a flick of the spear in his hand, he swung away the gemstone stick.
However, a soldier next to him was not so lucky.
"ah!"
With a scream, a three-foot-long bone javelin directly hit the soldier's shoulder and penetrated deeply into the armor seam.
The huge inertia caused the soldier to fall to the ground instantly.
However, the power of the bone javelin was very limited. The soldier patted his butt and stood up again.
"kill!"
Yin Xian, who had long been accustomed to fighting in battle formations, didn't care about the situation next to him.
He held the spear tightly, and after removing the hidden weapon of the gemstone stick, he stabbed forward!
"kill!"
As he roared, the savage warrior was immediately stabbed in the face.
With a thud, he fell to the ground and died.
"Kill!"
At this time, the entire array was already fighting together.
The barbarians relied on the strength of their numbers and had already formed an all-powerful offensive in the front.
Although Yin Xian led his elite troops to fight to the death, the savage warriors could not advance any further.
Steel armor versus rags.
Long knives and spears versus wooden sticks and bone spears.
The offensive of the savage warriors quickly collapsed under the counterattack of the Han soldiers.
Coupled with the crossbowmen who kept shooting on the rear camp wall, these savage warriors suffered heavy casualties.
"kill!"
Yin Xian roared and led the soldiers beside him to launch a countercharge forward.
He has already realized it.
These savages in front of me are no threat at all.
The weapons of wood and bone were of no use except for making a clanging sound when they were struck against the armor.
Until now, Yin Xian has not seen a single Han soldier fall.
Instead, these savage warriors had fallen to the ground.
