Dragon Sea Empire

Chapter 288 The Battle of Classmates

Lin Shuisheng pointed to the army camp and said, "Senior brother Yu led only 2000 people in this area. He dared to march south. He is worthy of being a high-achieving student in our Chinese military academy."

Yu Zigao sighed: "I know that Captain Yin's Yazhou Regiment training envoy has never been resigned. But, after all, this is the court's territory. I am Qiongya General, commanding the soldiers of the whole island. Logically speaking The training of the Yazhou regiment is also under my command. Besides, this is the land of the imperial court. How can your ship owner raise troops without authorization."

Lin Shuisheng's inner knowledge started a verbal dispute.Definitely not Yu Zigao's opponent.He said bluntly: "It's useless to talk too much. Brother Chen. Oh. I should call you Brother Yu now. Haha. If you don't go back to Yazhou. I don't know your real name yet. Now the matter is in front of you. I am Zhonghua The territory laid down by the army. There is no reason to give it to you. Our Chinese army has never attacked the imperial army for no reason. We have shed blood and sweat for the people of the Tang Dynasty overseas. What did the imperial court do for us. In this way As far as the Li chaos in Yazhou is concerned, the imperial army has tens of thousands of people. Don’t rush south to save the people from the fire and water. Sit back and watch the people being slaughtered by the rebels. This is where we and the people of Yazhou will be. Our Chinese army is all the people of the imperial court. I didn't think of rebelling at first. Personally, I don't want to fight with you—Senior Brother Yu. This is a land at the end of the world. The court doesn't value it at all. You just let us occupy it. So what."

Yu Zigao felt very distressed.For this kind of discussion that completely skips moral issues and directly points to practical issues.He was always disgusted.He also felt uncomfortable that these Dan family pariahs were always full of self-confidence.He sneered and shook his head: "Junior Brother Lin. I know that when you were in the military academy, you were often dissatisfied with my grades. So you always compare with me in physical training. Now we are our own masters. You want to fight me for real. Let's try it out."

In Yu Zigao's mind.He always looked down on most of his Chinese military school classmates.For the children of his family.Can call these people businessmen, fishermen and even untouchables brothers and sisters.That is my open-mindedness and open-mindedness.Although.In the arduous training of the military academy.He saw that these people were as strong and as smart and eager to learn as himself.But his superiority has always existed.I always want to prove it.This is also one of the motivations for him to be willing to disobey the orders of his superiors and attack.

Lin Shuisheng smiled wryly and shook his head: "Okay. Since you said that, then let's see the truth on the battlefield. Brother, don't give me face. Use your means as much as you want."

Lin Shuisheng returned to the formation.Take the three small cannons of the artillery sentry as the lead.Started to slowly approach the officers and soldiers camp.Make the appearance of preparing to attack the camp head-on.He sent a small group of student troops to the direction of the Taiwan Aboriginal Battalion.They are required to find the Taiwanese indigenous camp.Find out what happened to them.Why didn't he make a detour to the back of the official army camp on time.

……

A day in July of the 44th year of Wanli.In the jungle on the upper reaches of the Beimen River.Fighting finally broke out at dawn between Siraya warriors armed with steel crossbows and arquebus pistols and Yao warriors equipped with medicine crossbows and short knives.That's right.A mysterious enemy encountered by Battalion Commander Yaku.It was the medicine crossbow soldiers of the Yao nationality who went to attack Changhua County.

These two nations would never have met and gone together in the original historical time and space.Now it is under the influence of Yin Feng, a big butterfly.Intense jungle warfare took place in the western mountains of Hainan Island.

Patience on both sides as the first rays of dawn hit the jungle.Finally completely exhausted.The fight turned into brutal hand-to-hand combat right away.Both sides are familiar with the jungle.They can use the terrain to launch attacks by stealth.As a result, fighters from both sides quickly mingled together in the dense jungle.Most of the time it is a one-on-one contest between fighters from both sides.The poisoned crossbow bolts from the medicine crossbow sealed their throats with blood.The steel crossbow of the Siraya people in Taiwan is fired three times at a time.The dense rain of arrows completely suppressed the opponent's shooting.Shooting from two sides at a very short distance.The result is the same end.

And the matchlock guns and short spears of the Siraya people and the short knives and daggers of the Yao people.Each has its own strengths.After fighting in a short period of time.The result is basically the same.

And take the night.Both sides have set up countless traps, traps and other organs in their temporary positions.The warriors who rushed to the front fell into the opponent's trap one after another.The vigilant jungle warriors immediately avoided the trapped areas.The result is that the teams of both sides are more spread out in the dense forest.more mixed up.It was only half an hour after the war started.Except for a few personal soldiers around them, the commanders of both sides.He has completely lost command of his troops.

Hit until noon.Both sides suffered heavy losses.But no one wants to retreat first.And in this moment.No one can gather troops.The fighters on both sides are already fighting on their own.The drug crossbowmen of the Yao nationality are superior in numbers.Siraya natives have an advantage in weapons and equipment.The two sides stuck together.This stalemate was eventually broken by a small group of student troops.

A small group of student soldiers who came to find the Siraya Native Battalion.Under the leadership of Zheng Zhilong, a 13-year-old Chinese military command scientist.Came to this jungle where the fierce battle is in full swing.They had a local Han Chinese hunter as their guide.I found this place following the footsteps of the Taiwanese aboriginal camp.The sight here frightened the twenty or so teenagers.The hunter guide simply turned around and fled.

"No. We have to help these native brothers." Zheng Zhilong said.

"How can we help? They are all mixed up. We are such a small group of people. We are small and alone. It is useless to rush in. Besides, we haven't studied jungle warfare yet."

It was Zheng Zhilong's classmate Hong Xu who spoke.People from Tong'an, Fujian.One year younger than Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong and the others were lying on a towering tree to observe the situation of the battle.But this is in the jungle.They just heard the screams ahead from time to time.In fact, I can't see what the specific situation is.

Zheng Zhilong thought about it.Pat Hong Xu on the head and said: "You are so stupid. Don't we carry the Conch? Throw it when you see the enemy. It will definitely scare the enemy."

Hong Xu opened his mouth wide: "This. This. Can this work?"

"How do you know if you don't try it. What do you think?" Zheng Zhilong turned around and asked the other brothers.The oldest of these "boy scouts" was no more than sixteen.They are all teenagers who are not afraid of the heavens and the earth, and only fear that the world will not be chaotic.They nodded and said "OK."

for a moment.The jungle was suddenly filled with the low and melodious sound of conch horns.Winding around in all directions of the forest.

"Our people are here." The exhausted Taiwanese indigenous soldiers heard the Conch from the leaves.Everyone was excited.immediately.A series of grenade explosions sounded.The native fighters of Taiwan jumped up.Shouting and rushing out.

"Reinforcements are coming. Kill."

Soldiers in the Taiwan Indigenous Battalion are used to the sound of grenade explosions in their daily training.The Yao warriors were knocked out by the series of explosions.soon.In a small area, the Yao crossbowmen were wiped out by grenades and crossbow arrows.A group of small fighters rushed into the forest nimbly.Launch an attack on the Drug Crossbowmen.The fighters of the Taiwan Indigenous Battalion took the location where the explosion sounded as the assembly point.They all gathered together.then.The stalemate was immediately broken.The Yao crossbowmen didn't know what happened for a while.The result was to gather the fighters of the Taiwan indigenous battalion into groups.Begin to fully reverse the situation in the melee.Turn the melee between individuals into a team battle.The Yao soldiers couldn't hold it anymore.

After half an hour.Groups of Siraya warriors drove the Yao crossbowmen out of the jungle.When they fled across the valley clearing in disorder.The Siraya warriors massacred these Yao warriors with matchlock guns, steel crossbows, spears and javelins like hunting.

Jaku wandered up and down the valley.Finally found this small group of students in the army.They found that they were surrounding their leader and yelling, "Hey, an official. Are you okay?"

"What's going on." Yaku separated everyone.I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy covering his ears among them.Hands are full of blood.He grabbed the boy.Pulled his hand away and looked: "It's okay. It's just half of an ear missing. It's okay. What's your name."

"Report to the major. I am Zheng Zhilong, the first sentry officer of the student army."

"Oh. There are just a few of you here. So, there are so many Conchs just now." Yaku asked suspiciously.

"We played it. We threw the grenade too... This is all the idea of ​​the Yiguan brothers." The thin Hong Xu replied proudly.

Yaku laughed: "You are really not afraid of death. Such a small number of people dare to rush into the forest. Really..."

Nearly 500 Yao crossbowmen died in this battle.200 people were injured.Almost all the wounded were captured.There are less than one hundred Yao soldiers who can escape from this jungle.And these more than 100 people are a little lost.After wandering in the jungle for several days, I returned to the Beimen River.The Yao fighters who did not get lost were also hunted down by soldiers from the Siraya Aboriginal Battalion.Scattered all over the dense forest.Lost command.As a result, Yu Zigao never knew what was going on with Yao's crossbowmen.

Nearly 250 people were also killed in the Taiwan Aboriginal Battalion.More than 100 people were injured.Supervisor Yan Song also died in battle.And none of the Boy Scouts died.Only Zheng Zhilong, who rushed to the front, was slightly injured.

The native battalion was determined to complete its task.More than 50 wounded were left behind.Other ambulatory wounded plus able-bodied fighters.Including more than 20 people from the student army.A total of 350 people regardless of fatigue.Just ate a little dry food on the spot.Just keep thinking about your destination.Zheng Zhilong sent two brothers to report to Lin Shuisheng.It was agreed to sneak attack on the official army camp tonight.

Lin Shuisheng's attack on the officer and soldier camp began with shelling.Then a general attack was launched with 1000 sailor musketeers.It's a pity that they came from Yazhou across Wuzhi Mountain.Did not carry heavy artillery.Neither does the flower howitzer.Only three light field guns.Yu Zigao's camp was built with three layers of wooden fences.There was also sand.It is basically immune to small shells weighing half a catty.

And Yu Zigao sticks to the camp and does not come out.Divide all archers and bird gunners into two teams.Shoot arrows and guns down without stopping.The remaining soldiers kept delivering ammunition and arrows.When his troops crossed the Wenlan River and Beimen River area.Basically no major battles.So there are enough military supplies.therefore.The Chinese army's offensive was repeatedly frustrated.Many brothers were killed or injured.

Yu Zigao still has confidence in holding the camp.And he has sent several batches of messengers.Letters for help were sent to both Lingao and Qiongzhou.

After dark.The Chinese Army is still relentless.Send out batches of musketeers.Continuously shoot at the officers and soldiers on the wall of the big camp within the maximum range of the new flintlock musket.within this distance.The official army has no weapons at all that can harm the Chinese army musketeers.So they shoot with complete recklessness.

"They want to consume our ammunition and arrows. Send the order down. Don't fight back. Anyway, they can't hit them at this distance." Yu Zigao issued an order very depressed.

on the other side.Several lieutenant chiefs surrounded Lin Shuisheng.They all complained: "Our ammunition is low. We have been fighting all day. Can't we stop?"

Lin Shuisheng held up his binoculars and looked at the other side in the twilight.Shaking his head, he said, "We can't stop. We must persevere. Use muskets to attract each other's attention. Let the Siraya native brothers have a chance to attack from behind. That's it. You adjust the ammunition for each other. Anyway, wait until the camp opens. You have to rely on hand-to-hand combat to solve the problem."

A sentinel sailor changed into black.Taking advantage of the musketeers beating the wall of the official army's camp, no one dared to probe.To creep forward stealthily.Lurking fifty steps away from the main entrance of the official army camp.

Two hours later.It was already dark.The Chinese Army is still harassing the officers and soldiers endlessly.

at this time.There was a loud noise in the direction of the north gate of the army camp.The whole camp suddenly became chaotic.same moment. 100 Chinese army sailors jumped up from the ground.Silently and quickly approached the gate of the village.At this time.The troops led by Zheng Zhilong and Yaku have already formed a group with the official army by the Beimen River.This area is due to the river.Yu Zigao set up a temporary dock.Use bamboo rafts and fishing boats to carry officers and soldiers to patrol the river.But the wall on this side has not been reinforced.Although Yu Zigao expected that there would be enemies attacking from behind.But his subordinates didn't care at all.The vigilance here has not been strengthened at all.And Yu Zigao is a person who must do everything by himself.He has to ask himself about everything.Therefore, the hidden danger of defense here was ignored for a while.

Zheng Zhilong blew up the camp gate here with the three remaining grenades.All Siraya indigenous fighters rushed in without saying a word.Open the killing ring.

The melee on this side forced officers and soldiers to draw troops from the front.but.The hundred sailors who had been lurking for a long time took the opportunity to seize the main gate of the camp.

Yu Zigao soon found out.The entire camp is hopeless.His army is completely finished.
