The top of the low slope of Rabbit Head.
"Third son, while the savages are temporarily retreating, please ask the brothers to take some time to eat something, rest and restore their physical strength. In addition, check how many lead bullets and gunpowder we have on hand to see if they are enough for the next battle, especially Take a closer look at how many wine bottle bombs there are. They belong to his grandma. Without those things, we would really be unable to stop those indigenous barbarians with heads full of muscles..."
Looking at the indigenous warriors receding like the tide, Jia Liu and several of his men were quickly reloading their long spears and short blunderbuss. They wanted to take advantage of the gap in the battle to make all preparations before the battle and eat something to drink. Saliva, seize the time to rest and rest, otherwise, they will not be able to block the increasingly crazy attacks of the Kuruts in the coming battle. You know, these savages who are proud of scalping people are very difficult to deal with! First of all, they are short in stature and move quickly. They can run and jump in the mountains and forests as if they were walking on flat ground. Secondly, these guys are also very good at using cold weapons, such as stone axes, hardwood bows, and snake spears, as if they are growing on their bodies. In the previous battle, If it weren't for Jia Liu and others carrying heavy weapons such as explosive barrels and wine bottle bombs (weighing one kilogram, each advance team member carried two with them, a total of sixteen), and the Kuruts did not want to destroy a large number of people and Slaves, even if they were piled up with people, their defenses should have been broken through by the natives long ago. You must know that Jia Liu and his party were only four or five people, and the main force among them were ordinary recruits who had not been trained and had weak combat power. Even if the two people who were later reinforced were added, there were only six or seven people at best, and Ku Among the Lute people, there are about a hundred warriors and ordinary tribesmen who are proficient in level 2 cold weapons and above. If they were to confront each other head-on, Jia Liu and others would have died long ago!
Therefore, it was precisely because he understood this truth that the temporary commander of the advance team, Jia Liucai, did not choose to confront the enemy. Instead, he decisively led his men to stand firm and wait for reinforcements to resist the indigenous attack, because everyone knew , the Chiyang people have a firepower advantage, with a dozen explosive barrels, a dozen wine bottle bombs, plus seven or eight long and short muskets (the advance team each carries a short musket, plus the two elites who came to find them The soldiers carried two flintlock rifles, one long and one short. They basically brought all the flintlock rifles under Dong Jimao's command). As long as they did not come into close contact with the enemy and held on to the uphill dirt road, they would fire muskets and bombs. We really couldn't do anything about them for a while! Later facts also proved that Jia Liu's response was completely correct. The natives really failed to break through the Chiyangzhong's defense after several attacks. On the contrary, they abandoned more than 20 to 30 corpses and retreated hastily.
"Okay, Commander Jia Liu!" The man whose name was called by Jia Liu immediately stood up to check the remaining ammunition of the entire previous team. Others, including Commander Jia Liu, leaned against the hard rock and began to eat and rest. They should use the gaps between the indigenous attacks to recover their physical strength as much as possible. Of course, they did not put down their weapons during this period! After all, the battle with the natives is not in vain. Even if the soldiers under Jia Liu (the backbone are basically the first general recruits who followed Kang Lin, and the worst ones have been through one battle) meet again and have no combat experience, after After several native sieges, he also learned how to be a qualified warrior! If they hadn't learned how, their scalps would have been harvested by the natives from another continent with short knives!
"Sir, the natives are coming up again!" It's just obvious that the native warriors under the command of Kurut Island Guard Officer Gaisha don't intend to give them too much time to rest! Therefore, amid the deafening sound of wooden drums, the Kuruts, who had restored some morale after dancing the war dance, once again raised their weapons, shouted and launched a fourth charge to the top of the slope! Above their heads, the Chiyang people who were guarding from danger also dropped the food and water in their hands, cocked the hammers of their flintlock guns, and prepared to fight.
"Thirty paces (about 48 meters) away, gentle breeze, good shooting visibility. Everyone listen to my command, raise your guns and prepare to fire! Remember, we don't have much ammunition anymore, we must look carefully before shooting, don't You've wasted a precious opportunity, Third Son, you and I can light up the bottle bombs and throw them down to kill these bastards of barbarians! Grandma, if they want to scalp us, let's ask them to kill us today. All my lives are spared..." Seeing that his soldiers were all ready for battle, Jia Liu directed them to point their pre-loaded long and short flintlock guns at the enemy and fire them, while with the assistance of his deputy Sanzi, he lit the remaining weapons. Several wine bottle bombs were thrown at the densely populated areas of the enemy to contain the tidal-like charge of the Kurut natives.
"Boom!" With a heavy falling sound, the wine bottle bomb filled with gunpowder, lead bullets, and porcelain fragments fell impartially into the charging indigenous people. In an instant, with a dull loud noise, the porcelain fragments were broken. , lead bullets, and iron nails scattered in all directions driven by the expanding gas, sweeping down all upright creatures within a few meters of the explosion diameter like an iron broom. A group of indigenous warriors who were roaring and charging now fell to the ground and howled miserably. When the other guys who were not affected saw that the situation was not good, they all stopped and began to hesitate. With their poor knowledge, they really could not understand how much damage a well-placed wine bottle bomb would cause to the charging team. Although the bomb filled with black powder was not very powerful, it did not kill anyone. There were only a few people, but it still successfully lowered the gradually high morale of the natives and contained the crazy offensive of the natives. Amidst the painful howls of the wounded, some timid guys even started to turn around and run away!
"Qi Duo, arrest those guys who escaped, tie them to the front of the army, behead them in public, and use their heads to warn all those who are not determined. If you join the enemy in battle but escape, no matter who it is, I will kill them all. No pardon; on the contrary, as long as you fight bravely and kill the enemy with all your strength, whether you are a Krel or a slave soldier, you will have the opportunity to be generously rewarded by this leader. At that time, iron tools, salt, food, women, slaves, etc., as long as this leader has the I can give it to you..." In a safe enough place under the slope, the leader of the Kuruts watched the warriors under his command being blocked by the enemy again after a dull explosion, unable to make any progress. , and then even a few slave soldiers wearing fur skirts saw that the situation was not good, they actually threw down their stone hammers and wooden axes and fled back. They couldn't help but feel angry and anxious, so in order to rectify military discipline and capture the alien race as soon as possible On the hillside where people were guarding, he raised the iron staff in his hand that represented the leader's power, and commanded his elite Krel to go forward to capture the escaped slaves, and took these guys who escaped without authorization to the front of the army and beheaded them to maintain military discipline. He wanted to use the dirty and despicable blood of slaves to warn everyone that the chief was already very impatient with the unsatisfactory war. If they did not break through the defenses of the aliens as quickly as possible and cut off Their ugly heads show the powerful martial arts of the Kuruts. Then he, the leader of the Kuruts and the guardian of the Gejia Island, would not mind smashing the heads of a few more fools with stone axes and iron staffs, and inserting them into the tops of snake spears to serve as tributes to the Seljuqs. A sacrifice to the great god!
"Okay, leader of this house!"
Moreover, compared to doing nothing, I don’t like running away even more! The leader of the Kuruts even ordered that in future battles, everyone, whether Kuruts or slaves, who dared to retreat without receiving his order to retreat, would be punished by being beheaded in half. It will also be offered as a sacrifice to the Seljuk God during the great sacrifice. And his intimidating behavior was obviously effective, because just when the Creels caught the deserters and chopped off their heads with an axe, the long-standing stalemate was finally broken by the Kuruts! Under the cover of the shooters, more than ten or twenty Kurdish warriors holding shields took advantage of the opportunity when Jia Liu and others' explosive barrels and wine bottle bombs were about to run out, and were busy loading their flintlock rifles, relying on their own agility. He rushed up the slope and had a fierce hand-to-hand battle with Jia Liu and others for the first time.
"Chief, with the bravery of our tribe, as long as Qiduo and the others get close to those foreigners, then it will be settled!" Next to the house, a gray-bearded but strong-looking Creel saw his tribesmen. I had already rushed up the invincible slope and fought with the foreign warriors holding swords. I couldn't help but feel overjoyed. In the minds of him and most Kuruts, although the foreigners living on the mainland have a high level of education and are very ingenious and can make sophisticated iron weapons and sailing ships for sailing on the sea, their ability to fight is not No matter if they are the original Xia Guohua people or the Han people of the Ming Dynasty who appeared out of nowhere and took over the Xia Dynasty Longting, they all can't do it (the reason is that the natives believe that these people are used to a good life and no longer have the courage to fight to the death. Blood Brave), therefore, as long as they do not use bows and arrows to shoot at the aliens' muskets and engage in hand-to-hand combat, they, the Kuruts, are confident that they can beat their enemies eight blocks away! Therefore, when he saw his people rushing up the short slope and fighting with the enemy, he immediately showed a proud smile.
"Yes, tell our warriors and let them fight like this. I hope to see the scalps of those aliens here in half an hour!" Gaishe nodded in agreement with the judgment of his confidant Krel. At the same time, he also put forward new requirements for his subordinates.
"No problem, Chief!"
Note: For wooden hammers and stone axes, the ordinary indigenous people reluctantly used iron weapons, but their slaves should forget about it. It would be good to have wooden hammers, stone axes and other weapons.
Note 2: A swarm of bees, Baidu checked, the Hundred Tigers Qi Ben Arrow, which fires a hundred gunpowder arrows, weighs ten kilograms except for the launcher, which is twenty catties. Dong Jimao’s advance team is fully capable of carrying two of them when encountering indigenous people. It can be used as a weapon to harass enemies. If not encountered, it can be used as a signal arrow to convey simple messages.
Note 3: Wine bottle bomb is a small porcelain wine bottle on a pirate ship filled with gunpowder, lead bullets, iron nails, broken porcelain pieces, and pebbles. It weighs about a kilogram and is only so-so powerful.
