Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 452
After about half an hour, except for one soldier who was seriously injured and died, the other soldiers basically had nothing, no one felt numb, no one fainted.

Li Kui hurt his leg when he was moving around, shook his big axe, and smiled: "Hey, it really works. People can't be judged by appearances, that old Liang looks like a sheep herder, and the medicine he made is very effective. Plan the battlefield and kill the annihilated enemy on the spot. Bury."

"Yes."

The morale of the army is high, the emotions are bursting,
The Cangzhou Army is a military merit system, although it also has a basic military salary of 600 yuan a month on weekdays, plus some overseas allowances.But going out to fight is different. Just one battle annihilated more than 2000 enemies, and the reward was at least more than [-] taels. The average was seven to eight hundred taels per person, which was a considerable amount of money.

After cleaning the battlefield, the army continued to set off.The four soldiers killed and the wounded slowed down the pace of the march.

Li Kui discussed with Bao Xu and decided to send hundreds of soldiers to escort the wounded and dead soldiers back to Fort Ryukyu. The humidity in the dense forest is too high, which is not conducive to wound healing.

Soldiers in this day and age still love their homes very much, and pay attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots. Soldiers who died in battle should be transported back to their hometown for burial as much as possible.

Li Kui and Bao Xu continued to walk through the jungle under the leadership of the Yaha people. After traveling for more than [-] miles, the sky gradually darkened. It was already dark early in the dense forest.A group of people rested in the woods. Camping in the jungle is not as convenient as in the plains, and there are more kinds of insects and snakes.The soldiers used simple tents for the night, but the Yaha people had other skills. They used broken branches to build simple tents.

Li Kui chopped down a few dead trees with an ax and used them as materials for the fire. At this time, the guide Yaha came over, gesturing and talking with his fingers.

Li Kui said: "You said there are savages in front?"

"Hmm. They're cannibals, be careful," said the Yaha.

Li Kui is not afraid of cannibalism, it's nothing special.However, according to the meaning of the Yaha people, the savages in front are dedicated to cannibalism, which is a bit scary.

A centurion came to report and said, "Commander Li, something went wrong. A soldier from our team went to fetch water, but he never came back, and the search failed to find him."

"Okay, let's look around." Li Kui ordered.

Bao Xu said: "The situation is not good. This place is full of small streams, and there are no big dragons in the water. It is impossible for soldiers to get lost for no reason."

Li Kui said: "You stay here, I will take people there, go to the tribe of man-eating savages to see if our soldiers have been captured by them."

"Okay, pay more attention."

Li Kui communicated with the Yaha people for a while, and the Yaha people said that there are not many people in this tribe, only one or two hundred people, but they are all extremely barbaric and fierce.

Li Kui waved his hand and brought 300 people with him.With Yaha people leading the way, they turned over a hill and crossed a small river, and saw the skull sign hanging on the side of the road.

The Yaha people were obviously a little timid, and hid among the large group of people.

The soldiers in the bombing battalion really don't care about this. They fought fiercely with the pirates in Yangma Island and wiped out thousands of people in one battle. What kind of big scene has never been seen before? They care about this?

After walking for only three miles, several round buildings with mud walls and thatched roofs appeared in the valley.

Li Kui led people to lurk there, and the soldiers who were on guard outside were killed by soldiers with short knives.

In the small square, a joyous ceremony is being held.

Dozens of strong men were singing and dancing around the bonfire. One strong man was holding a big stick bone and was about to attack the soldiers tied to the pillars. It seemed that he was about to eat barbecue.

The soldier's eyes were filled with despair and fear.

Li Kui was so angry that he dared to eat his own soldiers.

The ax in Li Kui's hand flew out with all his might, and struck the savage with the big stick bone, and sent him flying, and the big stick bone fell to the ground.

Everyone was very angry that their Bao Ze was actually treated as food by them.

"kill."

Three hundred soldiers rushed forward bravely, and the savages took up various bone spears, big sticks and other weapons to meet them.

They were greeted with a meal of bows and arrows, followed by a meal of throwing axes.

There are several generations of technology between steel weapons and wooden and bone weapons.

Li Kui wielded a broad axe, and one person took the lead, chopping horizontally and vertically. Those savages who thought they were brave were cut down to the ground one after another when they couldn't catch a single move by Li Kui.

The soldiers behind are also brave, wearing armor and holding sharp weapons.

One contact wiped out half of them, and the remaining savages retreated to the houses and continued to resist.

The bombing camp in this place does not take prisoners. The big ax slashed wildly, and the battle ended in no time. The savage tribe with more than 100 people basically only had women and children left.

Li Kui went to rescue the soldier, who was terrified.

"Where did you go, and why did the savages catch you?" Li Kui asked.

The soldier said: "I was going to fetch water to boil for drinking. When I saw a fish in the river, I wanted to catch it. As a result, the fish went farther and farther away, so I chased it. I was walking back along the stream, and suddenly I was knocked out with a stick, and when I woke up, I found that these savages had tied me up to eat barbecue, and I was so frightened to death.”

"Hmph, leave the team without permission, and I'll deal with you when I go back."

The warriors of the Skeleton Tribe were all wiped out, and there were no casualties on their side.

These savages have nothing of value, and their weapons are either bones or wood.

Li Kui ordered: "Don't clean up the battlefield, retreat."

"Yes."

Everyone retreated in an orderly manner and returned to the camp.

The clerk came over and asked Li Kui: "Battle Commander Li, just fought another battle? How about annihilation. Do you want to write down your military achievements and apply for a bonus to the headquarters?"

Li Kui waved his hands again and again and said, "There was no war. A group of savages captured one of our soldiers and wanted to eat him. He survived. He was not born in Nanyang. He dared not ask his brother for money as a military merit."

The clerk gave a thumbs up and praised: "Battling Commander Li is doing a good job, and he distinguishes between public and private."

At dawn the next day, the team continued their search.

Unfortunately, after searching for a day, there was no trace of Nanyang Shengfan.

Li Kui decided to lead his army back, because it didn't make much sense to search further.And no matter how far away the Yaha people have never been, once these tribal people get lost in unfamiliar places, Li Kui doesn't want to get lost in the dense forest and never come out again.

When he came back to give orders, Li Kui said, "Brother, it's too difficult to find in the dense forest. In the five or six days of going back and forth, only one battle was fought, and more than 600 Nanyang Shengfan were wiped out, and no other enemies were found."

Chai Lin said: "Well, it's time to come back. We are going to start construction. Sporadic Nanyang students are looking for one after another. The Second Fleet has transported more than 10,000 people from the Engineering Corps, and [-]+ mu will be reclaimed near Liuqiu Fort. paddy fields to grow rice."

"Our battalion also participates in land reclamation and rice cultivation?" Li Kui asked.

"Forget about your battalion. It's not for work. It's okay to fight and kill people, but you can't do a good job in farming." Chailin said.
