I don’t want to bring the whole tribe together to seek death!
He didn't want the Spanish to turn their attention to him after the Liberation Army was wiped out.
Even if the Liberation Army can provide them with iron tools, guns and artillery.
But so what?!
In the face of the life and death of the tribe, all gains and losses should not be factors that affect the leader's decision-making.
The chief priest of the tribe spoke.
"Hey, hey, tell the warriors in the tribe to get ready!"
"My opinion is that if the Chinese withdraw from the camp under the attack of the Spanish, then we will take action against them."
"Kill all their soldiers and plunder their craftsmen and women!"
The high priest looks to be in his sixties or seventies this year. The wrinkles on his face are like ridged orange peels, and his eyes are dull and lifeless.
In this era, especially among the indigenous people with backward living conditions, they can be considered quite old.
Sanchez nodded slightly without objection.
But he looked at the others, as if asking for their opinions.
The chief elder of the tribe spoke.
"My opinion is that we'd better stick to the camp and don't make any moves!"
"Because any changes may lead to unpredictable results. The survival of the tribe is at stake, and we cannot take any risks."
The elder is more conservative. He is no longer young. He has a thin figure, but his face is painted with colorful makeup.
Before becoming an elder, the great elder was once the bravest warrior in the tribe.
But now he is quite conservative and no longer has the passion and courage of his youth.
The second elder spoke.
"Chief, my opinion is that we should stand on the side of the Spanish. You give me five hundred warriors, and I will personally lead the team to attack the Chinese camp in the river valley with the Spanish. I will definitely get enough for the tribe.
Craftsmen and women.”
Sanchez pondered for a while before speaking.
"I can't make up my mind on what to do!"
"The strength of the Chinese people in the river valley is not weak. They have built castles and have muskets and artillery. It will not be easy for the Spaniards to capture them."
He just said it's not easy, not impossible.
In Sanchez's eyes, the Spaniards were invincible. Whether they could eliminate the Chinese in the river valley depended on how ruthless the Spaniards were and whether they were willing to pay the price.
There is absolutely nothing that cannot be done!
What Sanchez was worried about was that if the Spaniards had no intention of taking over the Chinese in the valley, he would happily attack the Chinese in the valley.
After the Spaniards evacuate, they will be in trouble!
It is certain that the relationship between the two parties has deteriorated, and it is definitely impossible for me to want guns and iron weapons anymore!
More importantly, what if the Chinese in the valley send troops to attack the Spaniards after they withdraw?!
Sanchez thought about this and said.
"I have already dispatched personnel to monitor the battlefield movements. We should not rush to make a decision before the situation on the battlefield is clear."
Others can be radical, but as the leader of the tribe, every choice Sanchez makes must be carefully considered.
You can’t be too conservative!
While they were discussing here, a person ran in from outside.
It was Sanchez's son.
"Father, father!"
"The manpower we sent out has returned and brought back accurate information. Over there in the river valley, over there in the river valley..."
Sanchez's son was breathing rapidly, his head and face were covered with sweat from running so fast, and his face was full of expressions of disbelief.
"The Spanish are defeated!"
"The Spaniards have been defeated!"
"Our men saw with their own eyes the disastrous defeat of the Spaniards!"
"The Spaniards sent people to attack on the first day. As soon as they rushed up, they were beaten badly by the Chinese guns. Although the Spaniards were not killed or injured, the Pampanga people who were used as the vanguard left behind two to three hundred weapons.
Corpse."
"But it failed miserably!"
Sanchez's son had an expression of disbelief on his face.
Everyone also showed disbelief on their faces.
Due to delays on the road and various accidents, the crocodile tribe only received accurate news about yesterday's battle situation today.
However, just as Sanchez's son reported yesterday's battle situation, another person ran in from outside and shouted loudly.
"Failed again, the Spaniards were defeated again!"
"After yesterday's defeat, the Spaniards repaired for a day, and at dawn today, the Spaniards launched another attack!"
"While they were attacking the Chinese bastion from the front, they were preparing to use the river to bypass the bastion and land in the river valley to directly attack the Chinese camp."
"But the Spaniards were defeated miserably again. Under the bastion, the Spanish musketeers were severely wounded, and the Pampanga people again suffered hundreds of casualties."
"The fleet that wanted to go around and make a surprise attack was also stopped by the Chinese's iron cables, and became a living target. It was blasted by guns and artillery fire. There were countless casualties."
"There are hundreds of Chinese prisoners of war in the river valley!"
"The Spaniards suffered a big loss this time!"
As the words fell, the surprise on everyone's faces became more intense.
In two consecutive days, the Spaniard suffered two consecutive defeats!
Is this even Spanish?
Could it be said that Manila is really going to change its color?
Sanchez frowned and asked.
"The Spanish are defeated!"
"Then our crocodile tribe should unite more closely with the Chinese in the river valley in order to obtain more benefits?"
The great elder's attitude was still conservative and he spoke.
"Don't rush to make a decision, it's better to wait and see the situation!"
"The Spaniards have suffered such a big loss. It is impossible not to react. They will definitely send troops into the mountains again."
"Let's take another look and wait until the situation becomes clearer!"
"This Luzon Island belongs to the Spaniards. Even if we hide in the mountains, we have to rely on the Spaniards to survive."
Almost all the indigenous tribes near the river valley made the same choice as the crocodile tribe.
Facing the war between the Liberation Army and the Spanish, they adopted a sit-down attitude!
Although they did not dare to participate in the war between the Spaniards and the Liberation Army, they all knew that it would not be a good thing for them if the Liberation Army was wiped out by the Spanish.
But not everyone can figure this out!
…
"Master Chief, we can't wait any longer!"
"Yes, sir, if the Chinese in the valley are wiped out by the Spanish, then we will get nothing!"
"Don't look at the Spaniards' temporary defeat now. It's because they don't have heavy siege artillery."
"When the Spanish siege artillery is brought into the mountains, the fortresses built by the Chinese in the river valley will definitely not be able to withstand the heavy artillery bombardment."
"We need their craftsmen and their iron tools, so we can only do it before the Spaniards wipe them out."
"..."
Under everyone's persuasion, the leader of the Giant Tree Tribe, Black Lizard, was moved, and he gritted his teeth and said.
"You are right, but we, the Giant Wood Tribe, cannot do this alone!"
"First of all, send someone to contact other tribes that are friendly with us, and let's do it together!"
"Contact the Spanish again. When the Spanish siege artillery arrives, we will work with them inside and outside to eliminate the Chinese in the valley."
"When the time comes, we take advantage of the chaos to rob a few craftsmen and rob some women, and the Spaniards will probably have nothing to say!"
