I can't cut the enemy at all, but the enemy can definitely cut me one by one!
The big cannibal saw that the situation was not right, and there was no way to fight this battle, so he had no choice but to turn around and run away!
The Marines did not chase the escaping cannibal.
The premise is that you don't run away on an animal,
As long as a giant eater tries to escape on a horse or camel, the Marines' crossbows will immediately come over.
Of course, there are also those who are lucky enough to miss a few arrows, so we have to let him run away.
But there are very few of them,
When the Marines stormed the camp, they rushed directly towards the camel and horse pens.
Just come here for these animals.
This is a tribe that is neither big nor small,
A total of more than 360 camels were seized, and there were fewer horses, only a few dozen.
As for the losses of the Marines, there were only a few minor injuries!
"Take inventory, take the fodder, and leave for the coast!"
Liu Rengui ordered loudly.
At this time, two Persians also ran over from behind the sand dunes, panting:
"The battle is over, Commander?"
Liu Rengui nodded: "Follow Hashim back."
These Persians were translators, and Liu Rengui had no intention of letting them participate in the war.
"Hashem, you follow the camel team to the shore,"
"Tell the commander that I will wait for him at the first node."
Hashem nodded, picked a camel, and prepared to go back to see Su Chen.
Liu Rengui rode on a horse and ran quickly to the first node.
In order to march quickly, Su Chen set up two nodes on his journey from the shore to Medina, which was divided into three sections.
The first two sections are slightly longer and the last section is slightly shorter.
The army had to change the animals that were transporting the baggage at the nodes.
The Marines did not clean up the battlefield, but simply put fodder on the camels' backs and got some drinking water.
He hurriedly drove the animals away.
Not to mention the big cannibals who escaped, not even the shivering women and children who stayed in the camp, and even the cattle and sheep, were not moved.
Sheep cannot pull goods, cattle are too slow to be favored by the navy, and their number is too small.
Just take away the camels and horses.
After the Marines left, the cannibal finally understood the purpose of these bandits.
Everyone cried and screamed: If you want animals, just say so. Is it necessary to kill so many people?
Don't tell me, Liu Jingren really did this.
When the Marines rushed to the cannibal camp, Liu Jingren asked a Persian in the team to shout in the cannibal language:
"We only want big animals, so don't make unnecessary resistance..."
As a result, the Persian vomited blood before he finished shouting a sentence!
Alloy armor can block arrowheads, but it cannot offset the kinetic energy brought by the arrows!
The Persian was shot directly in the chest by several feather arrows and suffered internal injuries!
This was the only Persian injured in this operation!
Liu Jingren kicked a squad leader next to him far away:
"Look what a bad idea you came up with!"
"Chop them all!"
The Marines rushed into the cannibal camp and killed everyone they saw.
The consequences of this tribe's cannibalism are much more miserable than the one Liu Rengui met!
After cutting down the cannibals, Liu Jingren looked at the captured animals and cursed:
"Brewed! Two of my brothers were broken and more than ten were injured,"
"Just get fifty horses?"
The cannibals of this tribe were particularly vicious, and they actually killed two marines.
.
High-strength aluminum alloy armor is not a panacea.
The camel cavalry is so condescending that if they use a heavy hammer, any armor will be shattered with one blow!
"Captain, captain, don't worry, this place is mainly made up of camels."
"How many?"
"Two hundred and fifty-seven!"
Liu Jingren covered his head: "Too little, not enough roots!"
"Each node requires at least 800 large animals!"
"You send these animals directly to the shore. I will go to the first node and transfer another batch to the shore from there!"
"I hope other teams have better luck!"
After Liu Jingren finished speaking, he hurriedly rode to the first node.
A total of six teams of Marines were dispatched for this operation.
Counting the landing point on the shore, there are three nodes in total.
It has been discussed in advance and based on the principle of proximity, one node will be provided for every two teams captured.
If there is insufficient supply, the previous nodes will be supplied first, and the following nodes will continue to be collected from a distance.
There are more than six cannibal strongholds near the road. I just selected the most suitable six, and there are also alternatives.
After Liu Jingren arrived at the first node, he met Liu Rengui.
After learning that Liu Rengui had seized more than 400 livestock in total, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was unlucky.
At this time, other teams also sent people to report their seizures. The two of them made statistics.
A total of about 2,100 camels and more than 500 horses were obtained.
Liu Rengui immediately notified a team that was originally rushing to the first node to separate a hundred camels and fifty horses and send them to the landing point on the shore.
"Commander, there are far fewer horses than we expected!"
Liu Rengui nodded: "Maybe it's because this place is relatively barren, or the horses have been drafted by the cannibals!"
"Whatever the reason, I'll do two more jobs,"
"This raid, with the few people we brought, if we don't have enough foot power to travel,"
"To be honest, I feel a little weak!"
Liu Rengui agreed to Liu Jingren's request: "After you succeed tomorrow night, go directly to the second node."
"Be careful! What happened tonight may be known to all the cannibals nearby tomorrow."
Li Jingren clasped his fists in agreement and went back to prepare.
The next morning, I saw only the landing place on the shore.
Six transport ships lined up along the shore,
Various materials, weapons, and supplies were continuously transported from the ship's cabin to the shore through temporary docks and trestles.
By this time, all kinds of supplies were piled up on the shore, and they started transporting them to the shore in the middle of the night.
The horses and camels collected last night have arrived long ago and have been fed and watered.
Cheng Wuting reluctantly selected dozens of horses from 200 to form a scout team and went to patrol along the road to ensure the safety of the marching route.
Yuchi Baolin was lecturing loudly to his thousand subordinates. They would be the first to set off later to clear the way for the army.
They will be fully clothed and march for a day!
Elsa's eyes widened as she watched the thick iron pipes being transported to the deck by the cabin elevator, then hung on the boom with iron chains by the soldiers, and then slowly lifted to the shore by the crane.
There was a team of soldiers waiting there to put wheels on the big iron pipe and push it elsewhere.
Su Chen and Li Chengqian came to the deck and looked at the busy fleet:
"It would be great if every soldier could be equipped with a horse, even a camel or a donkey!"
Su Chen said helplessly: "I think about it too, but it's not realistic."
"The coast of the Red Sea is already barren. With so many seaweeds collected, it will be over in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. The giant cannibal has long since invaded."
"I'm just worried. If you ask the soldiers to march hundreds of miles every day, can they bear it?"
"It takes four days to walk the first three hundred and fifty miles, which is slow enough."
