Chapter 42 Nanye crosses the sea to occupy Yizhou, Yuan Shu fakes to call himself emperor 3
The natives of Yizhou are inevitably afraid of not being able to figure out the origin of Nanye and his party. Nan Ye is not afraid of these indigenous people at all. As long as the equipment of the two sides is compared, Nanye knows that the combat strength of the two sides is not at the same level. What else is there to be afraid of when the Iron Age meets the Stone Age?
Nan Ye inspired his subordinates to say, "Don't be afraid. These natives have no armor, and their hands are all wooden sticks and stone axes. How can they be our opponents? They have nothing but different makeup, which is much worse than ordinary mountain thieves and grass bandits. Wait and see, their formation is scattered, and there are women and children in the team. Are you afraid of this kind of enemy?
After listening to Nan Ye's words, the soldiers looked carefully. Where is the formation of the natives opposite? There is no formation at all, and there are a variety of weapons and equipment. Not to mention armor, even clothes, it is really not as good as the thieves of the Han Dynasty. So they were all relieved and no longer feared, and some soldiers had relaxed smiles on their faces.
Ma Yunqi and Xiao Qiao also calmed down at this time. The two girls were very admirable and loved Nan Ye more when they saw Nan Ye's calm appearance.
What Kamaran and the people said are all in Yizhou dialect, but they can't understand what Nan Ye said. Kamaran's son asked in local language, "Mother, the enemy is motionless. Obviously, he is afraid of me waiting. Should I attack first?"
After observing for a long time, Kamaran also found that the opposite was not a demon, but just a group of people in strange clothes, which seemed to be very similar to those Han people who had been drifted here by the sea disaster. Kamaran guessed that the opposite might be an emerging tribe and entered his territory without knowing the rules. So he said to the clan: "What should we do if the enemy on the opposite invades our territory and wants to burn our homeland and take our children as slaves?"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The people of Kamaran shouted in unison. They knew that the patriarch was boosting morale, and then there was a big war.
Kamalan was not afraid and was very satisfied. She raised the wooden scepter set with gems and said, "Go up! Defeat the enemies you are waiting for!"
After getting the order of the patriarch, the natives rushed up with weapons such as antler spears and stone axes, shouting all kinds of strange sounds. Anyway, Nan Ye couldn't understand.
Nan Ye is not stupid. Of course, it can be seen that these indigenous people are not very friendly to their own people and have to fight with themselves. Nanye did not intend to have a conflict with the natives of Yizhou, but at this time, the other party took action first, and Nanye could not sit back and wait for death. So he ordered, "Let the arrow!"
In this era without artillery, the navy fought with the first bow and crossbow. Nan Ye attaches more importance to weapons and equipment than other princes. Therefore, the Jiaozhou navy is fully equipped with strong bows, which are improved by the strong crossbows of the dead. The ship is also equipped with large bed crossbows and various bows and arrows.
Nan Ye ordered that it was a real ten thousand arrows, and for a moment, the arrows rained down. Although the natives led by Kamalan also held homemade bows and arrows, how could the range be comparable to the strong crossbows produced in Nanye Arsenal? These native bows and arrows have not reached Nanye, and they have entered the range of Nanye.
As soon as the overwhelming feather arrows arrived at a group of indigenous people led by Kamaran, they were dumbfounded. They had no armor on their bodies, and few people used shields. At one time, countless people were hit by arrows, and it was roughly estimated that there were more than a thousand people, and they howled and screamed. The total number of these natives is only more than 3,000, and more than one-third of these natives have been killed and injured.
Kamaran was almost shot by a feather arrow just now, thanks to his son's shield in his hand to help her block the arrow. But her son was hit by an arrow in his thigh and knelt on the ground.
"Mother, the enemy is too powerful! Take the people away quickly! Leave me alone." The son of Kamaran covered his bleeding thighs and shouted.
Gamalan didn't know that what her son said was reasonable. Although the soldiers in the clan are brave and fearless, this war is obviously not won by courage. If these thousands of casualties can be exchanged for hundreds of enemy casualties, or even dozens of casualties, the family will also make the people do their best. However, the situation in front of her made her despair. Thousands of people were killed and injured, but no one on the opposite side was injured. This was not a battle at all, but a massacre.
The safety of the whole clan is more important than the life of his son. At this time, Kamaran can only bear the pain and make a decision and shouts, "Retreat! Retreat!"
The people of Kamaran were also frightened by the rain of arrows. At this time, they heard the patriarch's order to retreat and turned around and fled one after another. Those with minor injuries can still run away with the help of the clan, and those who are seriously injured can only stay in place.
Nan Ye's subordinates laughed when they saw that these natives in Yizhou were so vulnerable. Nanye did not order people to chase. When the indigenous people were almost running, he said to Gan Ning: "Xingba quickly led people to rescue the injured. We don't understand these natives, so we must be careful. They don't know our kindness and may fight back.
Gan Ning said, "Don't worry, mage, I can handle it." After saying that, he led 500 shield soldiers to line forward, followed by more than a dozen doctors.
The injured natives did not know the intention of these soldiers. Some clenched their weapons, some dragged their injured legs and crawled back desperately to escape the disaster. Several indigenous people actually cut their heads with stone axes and committed suicide on the spot. This made Gan Ning and Nan Ye feel a little puzzled.
It turns out that the natives in Yizhou have the custom of headhunting. When the two tribes fight, the winner often cuts off the head of the loser as a trophy. Therefore, some natives who were seriously injured and knew that they could not escape death would rather kill themselves than be cut off their heads alive by the enemy. Of course, not all defeated natives will commit suicide. Most of the less injured natives will become slaves of the victory tribe after being captured. There is a saying that it is better to die than to live, but the natives who have hope to survive will not choose to commit suicide.
Gan Ning often led the navy to fight off the sea and also encountered a situation where he did not understand the language. Although the current situation is a little strange, Gan Ning can still cope with it freely. He did not order the soldiers to disperse to save people, but slowly advanced in formation. Although three or five natives threw spears and stone axes at them, Gan Ning only let the soldiers block them with shields and did not fight back.
Gradually, the natives of Yizhou also found that Gan Ning was invincible and no longer threw weapons. At this time, Gan Ning was already close to the injured natives, and the closest to Gan Ning and others was a girl with arrows in her legs and chest. At this time, the injured native girl looked at a row of bright shields in front of her trembling and supported her body to climb back, but as soon as she moved, blood flowed from her thighs and chest. She immediately stopped in pain and no longer dared to make any more movements. She could only wait pitifully for the enemy in front of her to slaughter.
