Chapter 98: Late stage of fear of insufficient firepower

When an official sees him, he must first salute!

In the past, the superior landlord in the village had to kowtow to him!

Thinking of these, Wu Laoliu was no longer tired in an instant, and his whole body was full of energy.



After half a day's march, Wu Laoliu and his party arrived at the Giant Tree Tribe.

A native of the crocodile tribe who was responsible for leading them stood up, pointed to a large camp at the foot of the mountain not far away, and spoke in half-baked Chinese.

“That’s the giant wood tribe’s camp!”

"I'll leave the task of attacking the enemy to you. When you break through the giant wood tribe's camp, our warriors will take over the battle."

Hu Dinggao, who was leading the team, nodded and said.

"Okay, ask your people to prepare in advance!"

After saying this, Hu Dinggao waved his hand to the Liberation Army to prepare for battle.



In the direction of the Giant Wood Tribe's camp, behind a wall made of huge logs, there was a large group of panicked natives.

At this moment, the entire giant tree tribe, from nobles to slaves, were all panicking.

The news of the leader's death in battle had come a few days ago. The news that the tribal warriors who went on the expedition were defeated and suffered heavy losses. The number of warriors who successfully returned to the tribe was less than half of those who went on the expedition.

Now the Chinese and the crocodile tribe are coming together to kill each other, and everyone feels a sense of oppression as dark clouds descend on the city and a catastrophe is imminent.

The nobles in the tribe roared like crazy, cursing the stupidity of the former leader of the tribe, Black Lizard, while commanding and preparing for battle.

"Damn, damn Black Lizard, if he hadn't rashly intervened in the war between the Chinese and Spanish, how could our Jumu Tribe be facing the current predicament!"

"What should we do? Should we resist to the end or surrender?"

"Otherwise, if we retreat into the mountains, the Chinese will not be able to go into the mountains to pursue us. If it is just a crocodile tribe, our warriors will not be afraid."

"Our warriors are the best warriors, unlike those cowards who defected to the Chinese crocodile tribe!"

"..."

The people of the Giant Tree Tribe are in confusion, and everyone has their own thoughts.

Some people wanted to resist to the end, some advocated surrender, and some suggested simply retreating into the mountains.

While they were arguing, the Liberation Army had already launched an attack.

A light cannon was placed on the battlefield, and the gunner quickly calculated the shots, loaded the cannon, and prepared to fire.

The road into the mountain is indeed rugged, but it is not difficult to transport a light cannon into the mountain.

A light cannon, including its body and cannon carriage, weighs only three to five hundred kilograms at most. This weight is not exaggerated, and it can be carried by three or four people.

Wherever people can go, cannons can go too!

Boom!

The light cannon opened fire, spitting out a large amount of smoke and fire from the muzzle, and shells the size of a child's fist were fired towards the wooden wall of the giant wood tribe.

There was a loud bang and the shell hit the wall.

In an instant, a big hole was punched out of the wooden wall. As sawdust flew, the warriors of the giant wood tribe behind the wall let out shrill screams.

Let alone bastions, light artillery is difficult to hit even ordinary civil fortifications, but it is still no problem when used to hit indigenous wooden walls.

If one cannon fails, use two cannons; if two cannons fail, use three cannons. Sooner or later it will be destroyed!

The artillery of the Liberation Army fired continuously, and the musketeers lined up in front of the artillery, aiming their muskets forward to guard against the aborigines of the Giant Wood Tribe from attacking the artillery position.

One of Hu Dinggao's subordinates said.

"Deputy Battalion, this time we just want to test how powerful the new cannon produced by the weapons workshop is."

Hu Dinggao's eyes lit up and he spoke.

"In that case, let's arrange a test and shoot at the wooden wall of the natives!"

"yes!"

The subordinate hammered his chest with his right hand, gave a military salute, turned around and left to arrange the experiment.

Not long after, a large iron barrel was placed next to the light cannons.

The gunners of the Liberation Army began to fill it with gunpowder, and then inserted another explosive bag.

The match rope was lit and there was a loud bang!

The explosive package in the iron barrel was pushed out by the shock wave, drew an arc in the air, and fell towards the wooden wall of the indigenous tribe.

The explosive package landed almost right in front of the wooden wall.

A moment later, a rumbling explosion echoed through the sky.

Earth and rocks flew everywhere, and sawdust flew everywhere.

Everything near the impact point was instantly cleared by the explosive charges, and a gap several meters wide was blown out of the wooden wall.

Behind the wooden wall is a chaotic giant wood tribe of indigenous people!

Hu Dinggao was speechless as he looked at the power of the flying thunder cannon.

"This...the power of this flying thunder cannon is really incredible, and it deserves the name of flying thunder!"

During this battle, the flying thunder cannon was taken out for actual combat testing.

It was made by the weapons workshop in accordance with Zhu Hongyu's requirements.

To put it nicely, it's called a thunder cannon, but to put it bluntly, it's just an explosive package thrower with a curved trajectory.

There is basically no technical difficulty, but the power is quite impressive.

During the Anti-Japanese War, our army even used this thing to blow up the little Japanese bunkers.

And when Zhu Hongyu made this thing, he went to the Spanish bastion.

Since the Japs' bunkers can be blown up, there is no reason why the Spanish's fortresses can't be blown up.

Just as they were about to enter the mountains to encircle and suppress the natives, Zhu Hongyu equipped the Liberation Army with flying thunder cannons.

The first is to test the performance of the new weapons in actual combat, and the second is to minimize casualties during the attack.

Zhu Hongyu, a patient with late-stage firepower phobia, said that if things can be solved with bullets and cannonballs, don't let anyone get involved!

There is nothing that one round of saturation fire coverage cannot solve. If there is, then another round!

After the wooden wall was blown up, the Liberation Army didn't need to take action for what happened next.

The Igorots of the Crocodile Tribe shouted and poured into the Giant Wood Tribe's camp through the gap blasted by the thunder cannon.

After the natives of the crocodile tribe broke into the camp, they killed and beheaded everyone they saw.

The young men in the giant tree tribe also began to take up arms to resist, and even the old, weak, women and children joined the battle group.

The two sides fought fiercely and fought each other.

Wu Laoliu looked at the fierce fighting in the camp and couldn't help but rub his hands.

"Damn, these natives are really vicious!"

The other people nearby also kept nodding.

They had to admit that although these natives were barbaric and backward, they were really fierce in fighting.

Many people were covered in blood and continued to fight. Even the old, weak, women and children acted very bravely.

Hu Dinggao looked in the direction of the battlefield, where the battle was fierce and stalemate, and asked the representative of the crocodile tribe next to him.

"Do you need help from our Liberation Army?"

The representative of the crocodile tribe looked proud and shook his head.

"unnecessary!"

"The warriors of our tribe are the best warriors. They will bravely kill all enemies who dare to resist!"

Hu Dinggao nodded and did not force it.

He just asked if he needed help, it was just polite.

If the representative of the crocodile tribe really agrees, Hu Dinggao will really be numb.

The battle continues!

Under the surging offensive of the Crocodile Tribe, the Giant Wood Tribe, which had suffered a bloody blow under the walls of the Liberation Army and lost a large number of young men, finally could no longer hold on.

The balance of victory is gradually tilting!
