Chapter 452: Battle of the Savages
After about half an hour, except for a soldier with severe injuries, there was basically nothing else in the other soldiers. No one felt numb and no one fainted.
Li Kui was injured by his legs when he moved his legs, shook his big axe, and smiled: "Hey, it really works. People should not behave like a sheep. The medicine he made is very useful. He planned to bury the annihilated enemy on the spot on the battlefield."
"yes."
The morale of the army is rising and the emotions are overwhelming.
The Cangzhou Army has a military merit system. Although it usually has 800 yuan of basic military pay every month and some overseas allowances, it is different when it comes to war. Just one battle has been wiped out, and the reward is at least 2,000 taels for more than 600 enemies. The average amount of money is 700 to 800 cents per person, which is a considerable amount of money.
After cleaning the battlefield, the army continued to set off. The four soldiers and injuries killed dragged down the speed of the march.
Li Kui and Bao Xu discussed and decided to send a hundred soldiers to escort the wounded and killed soldiers back to Ryukyu Fort. The humidity in the dense forest was too high, which was not conducive to the wound healing.
In the past, soldiers were still very home-loving, and they paid attention to returning to their roots. The soldiers who fell into battle tried to transport them back to their hometowns for burial as much as possible.
Under the leadership of the Yaha people, Li Kui and Bao Xu continued to walk through the jungle for more than thirty miles. The sky gradually darkened, and it was already dark in the dense forest. The group of people rested in the woods. The jungle camping was not as convenient as plains, and there were more insects and snakes. The soldiers spent the night with simple tents, while the Yaha people had other skills. They used broken branches to build simple sheds.
Li Kui used an axe to chop off several dead trees as materials for burning fire. At this time, the guide Yaha people came over, gestured and said with their fingers.
Li Kui said: "You said there are savages in front of you?"
"Yeah. They are cannibalism, be careful," said the Yaha people.
Li Kui is not afraid of eating people, it’s nothing great. But according to the Yaha people, the savages in front are specialized in eating people, which is a bit scary.
A centurion came to report and said, "Battery Commander Li, something went wrong. A soldier from our team went to fetch water, but never came back, and he couldn't find it even if he searched."
"I know very well, I'll look for it nearby." Li Kui ordered.
Bao Xu said: "The situation is not good. This place is full of 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 over and go to the savage tribe to see if our soldiers were captured by them."
"Okay, pay more attention."
Li Kui communicated with the Yaha people for a while, and the Yaha people said that there were not many people in this tribe, but only one or two hundred people, but they were all extremely barbaric and fierce.
Li Kui waved his hand and led three hundred people. With Yaha people leading the way, they climbed a hill and praised a small river, and saw the skull sign hanging on the side of the road.
The Yaha people were obviously a little cowardly and hid in the middle of the large group of people.
The soldiers who dropped the bomb battalion really don’t care about this. They fought fiercely with Japanese pirates on Yangma Island, and wiped out thousands of people in one battle. I have never seen any big scenes. Do you care about this?
After walking for more than three miles, several round mud-shaped buildings with thatched roofs appeared in the valley.
Li Kui lurked over, and several savages who were guarding the outside were dealt with by soldiers with short swords.
A happy ceremony is being held in the small square.
Dozens of strong men were singing and dancing around the bonfire. A strong man was holding a big stick and preparing to attack the soldiers tied to the pillars. It seemed that he was preparing to have a barbecue.
The soldier's eyes were filled with despair and fear.
Li Kui was furious and dared to eat his soldiers. That's not bad.
The axe in Li Kui's hand flew out with great force, and axe slashed the savage who was holding the big stick bone. He cut him away with an axe, and the big stick bone fell to the ground.
Everyone was very angry that their Baoze was actually treated as food by them.
"kill."
Three hundred soldiers rushed up bravely, and the savage picked up various bone-made spears, big stick bones and other weapons to meet them.
What greeted them was a bow and arrow, followed by a flying axe.
Steel weapons deal with wooden weapons, and bone weapons are several generations away from technology.
Li Kui waved his axe, one of them took the lead, slashing horizontally and vertically. Those savages who thought they were brave could not even catch a move when they met Li Kui, and were chopped to the ground one after another.
The soldiers behind were also brave, wearing armor and holding sharp weapons.
Half of the savages were wiped out with just one contact, and the remaining savages retreated to the house and continued to resist.
The bomb battalion in this place did not take prisoners. The big axe slashed around and the battle ended soon. The more than 100 savage tribes were basically women and children.
Li Kui went over and rescued the soldier, and the soldier was so scared.
"Where did you go? Why did you get the savages to capture them?" Li Kui asked.
The soldier said, "I planned to go and get water and boil water. When I saw a fish in the river, I wanted to catch it. As a result, the fish went further and further, and I chased it. When I understood, I planned to walk back along the stream. Suddenly I was hit unconscious. When I woke up, I found that these savages were tied up and wanted to eat barbecue. I was scared to death."
"Hmph, I'll leave the team without authorization, and I'll deal with you when I go back."
The warriors of the Skeleton Tribe were wiped out, and no casualties were found on their own side.
These savages have nothing valuable, their weapons are either bones or wood.
Li Kui ordered: "No need to clean the battlefield, retreat."
"yes."
Everyone retreated in an orderly manner and returned to the camp.
The clerk came over to ask Li Kui: "Bath Commander Li, I have just fought another battle? How about annihilation? Should I record my military merits and apply for a bonus from the headquarters?"
Li Kui waved his hands repeatedly and said, "There was no war. A group of savages caught one of our soldiers and wanted to eat them and rescued them. It was not Nanyang Shengfan. I dare not ask my brother for money as military merits."
The clerk praised him with a thumbs up: "Captain Li is a good person, and he has a clear distinction between public and private."
The next day, the team continued to search.
Unfortunately, after searching for a day, I didn’t find any trace of Nanyang Shengfan.
Li Kui decided to lead his army back because it would not make much sense to search again. Moreover, the Yaha people had never been to any farther place. Once these tribes arrived at an unfamiliar place, they would still get lost. Li Kui didn't want to get lost in the dense forest and never get out again.
When he came back to hand over the order, Li Kui said: "Brother, it's too difficult to find in the dense forest. In five or six days, he only fought one battle and wiped out more than 600 Nanyang Shengfans, and never found any other enemies."
Chai Lin said: "Well, it's time to come back. We are going to start construction and search again in a row. The Second Fleet transported more than 6,000 people from the Engineering Corps. More than 100,000 mu of rice fields were to be reclaimed near Ryukyu Fort to plant rice."
"Our camp also participates in land reclamation and farming of rice?" Li Kui asked.
