Chapter 295 Manslaughter
Among the mountains and forests of Yizhou, apart from Zheng Zhihu's large army of pirates and refugees, there are also the main force of the mountain battalion armed with rifles tracking Zheng Zhihu and them.

The soldiers in the mountain camp had mud on their faces, and their military uniforms were all designed according to the later camouflage uniforms to facilitate concealment. After the main team of 800 people went deep into the forest, it did not cause much movement.

"The advance team has discovered Zheng Zhihu's troops. They are near the Atayal village." A soldier who seemed to be integrated with the forest appeared and reported to Madman Cheng.

"Atayal people? Are they trying to win the support of Yizhou natives to fight against us?" Madman Cheng frowned.

Although the mountain battalion has trained in the Ryukyu Islands for several months, and many soldiers are also mountain people, this is Yizhou, the home of the Gaoshan people after all.

"It doesn't look like it. The advance team witnessed Zheng Zhihu and others coming out of the Atayal tribe."

"The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the local snake. The natives of Yizhou are more familiar with this mountain forest than we are, or this is their homeland. We must try our best to avoid conflicts with them here. If they insist on protecting Zheng Zhihu, we will I don't mind going to war with them." Crazy Cheng gritted his teeth, he is not a master who dare not make things big, otherwise he wouldn't have such a nickname.

"Everyone is ready to fight, and finally caught their heels in the mountains and forests, we can't let them escape!"

Crazy Cheng quickly approached Zheng Zhihu and the others with a main force of 800 people.

Zheng Zhihu's 2000-strong army sent out 1000 people to try to break through the blockade of the mountain camp, and he personally led the other half of the troops to stay near the Atayal people to attract Madman Cheng and the others.He also sent a scout team to guard the mountain camp nearby.

"They are coming!" The pirate scout hurriedly returned to report.

"Okay! When we retreat, everyone pretend to be panicked. We will lead them to the hunting area of ​​the Atayal people. They often have people hunting there. We must find a way to make them conflict with the Atayal people!" Zheng Zhihu waved his hand, About 1000 pirates fled in a panic.

In fact, it is not necessary for the pirates to create a sense of panic. For the pirates who are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, fleeing is as long as they act in their true colors... and if they are one step too late, they will really be shot dead by the soldiers of the mountain camp. .

Boom!In the mountain forest where wild beasts were humming, musket gunshots sounded, startling the birds in the forest.

"The advance team in front has already exchanged fire with Zheng Zhihu, let's follow up!" Madman Cheng and the others quickened their pace, changing from a fast march to a rapid march.

Now that the whereabouts have been exposed, there is no need to hide it!

In order to delay the retreat of Zheng Zhihu and others, the 20-member advance team had to chase and design in the mountains and forests.Fortunately, the rear loading of the Dreiser rifle they used made it easy to quickly reload the ammunition. Otherwise, with the front-loading rifle they used before, the time it took to reload the ammunition alone would have allowed Zheng Zhihu and the others to escape.

A life-and-death chase takes place in the mountains and forests.At the beginning, Zheng Zhihu had planned to attract the soldiers who came to the mountain camp, and he only needed to attract them to the hunting grounds of the Atayal people.But when the two sides fought, Zheng Zhihu found that it was very difficult for his group to escape smoothly!
Once bitten by the soldiers of the mountain battalion, the mountain battalion is like a mandrill that is elusive. Often, instead of chasing them all the way, the soldiers split up and outflank and attack in the forest, causing heavy losses to the numerous pirates.

In less than an hour, dozens of Zheng Zhihu's troops fell behind or were shot by the rifles of the mountain camp. The pirates who were pretending to retreat retreated on a large scale because of panic, and even deviated from the original plan. route.

In the forest, there were a few tattooed aborigines holding short bows. They had just shot a wild boar, and the maned boar fell to the ground with blood on it.

"Amei, this wild boar was shot. If Dad knows, he will definitely praise you." A young man kicked the wild boar to make sure that the wild boar was dead, and said to a woman with short hair. Said.

"As the children of the patriarch, we have to protect the whole clan, and I also want to contribute..." the short-haired woman said proudly.

"It seems that there is a noise in the distance. Is it our tribe? Or people from other tribes are coming to our tribe to make trouble..."

Boom!As soon as the man's voice fell, the bushes not far away were agitated. With a gunshot, the man and the short-haired woman didn't even react, and the man was shot!He only felt pain in his chest, and touched his chest with his hand, which was covered with blood that flowed out.

"Cough..." Blood stains flowed from the corner of the man's mouth, and he fell forward.

"Brother (Young Patriarch), what's the matter with you!" The short-haired woman hurried up, but it was too late, the rough bullets were piercing into the man's chest, destroying his heart!
The bushes rustled, and a group of pirates escaped from the jungle.

"There are still a few barbarians here, don't get in the way, we're about to be overtaken by the Liao army!" The group of pirates, who were in a hurry, ran away from the short-haired woman and the others, and disappeared into the forest again.

As soon as this team of pirates left, more than a dozen soldiers from the mountain battalion armed with rifles followed closely.

They glimpsed the native man who fell on the ground and was shot by them, and several natives who had been frightened by the passing pirates.

"We seem to have killed an aborigine by mistake..." A mountain battalion soldier saw the gunshot wound on the aboriginal man and knew that only the rifles in the hands of his party could cause such trauma.

"It's impossible to fight without killing people. This guy is really unlucky. Let's keep chasing. If we delay, we will let this group of pirates escape." The rest of the mountain battalion soldiers looked at the corpse on the ground indifferently and said.

More than a dozen soldiers from the mountain battalion passed these aborigines, and then chased in the direction where the pirates were fleeing.

Pirates and mountain battalion soldiers appeared and disappeared, and there were musket shots and shouts and curses nearby, but no one passed through this area again.

"Brother, wake up!" The short-haired woman shook the dead man desperately, but the man had no response.

"The young patriarch is dead, let's give up." Several other tribesmen said to the short-haired woman, "The dead bodies will be buried in our cemetery, and the young patriarch cannot be left in the wilderness."

"Damn it, these pirates and aliens actually killed my elder brother, I want to avenge him!" The short-haired woman wiped her uncontrollable tears, "I want to kill them with my own hands, dig out their hearts and release them!" In front of elder brother's grave!"

"The one who killed the young patriarch just now seems to be the enemy of those pirates - the Fu Liao Army."
