I don’t know whether it was because he was stared at by the python, or because the environment in the rain forest was too hairy. In short, Boss Wei felt like he was being ambushed. He raised his arm and shouted loudly to the dozen or so small boats behind him: "Everyone."
Attention, people, load your bullets to prevent any ambush!"
Behind Boss Wei was not only a platoon of Tiger Soldiers, but also a "team" of soldiers from the Yizi Battalion, as well as thirty samurai soldiers. As a pioneer who penetrated into enemy-occupied areas, Boss Wei's group of Tiger Soldiers were equipped with
They wore Jinwang style breech-loading rifles, while Yiziying soldiers used front-loading rifles and handguns.
The samurai only have one samurai armor and two katana swords.
As the platoon leader of the Huben Army, Boss Wei is the commander-in-chief of this nearly 100-man team. Upon hearing Boss Wei's order, the soldiers behind them all picked up their weapons and prepared to fight in the rain forest.
More than a dozen small boats moved forward in the rainforest, and the forest became darker and darker as they went further.
Suddenly, a scream came from the rain forest.
Boss Wei's heart skipped a beat and he shouted loudly: "Get down! Everyone get down!"
All the Han soldiers subconsciously lay down on the bottom of the boat, using the side of the boat to protect their bodies. The translator of the samurai team also shouted loudly in Japanese, and the samurai hurriedly lay down on the boat.
As soon as everyone lay down, they heard a sound breaking through the air. Then there was a banging sound, and an unknown number of arrows were shot on the hull of the ship.
A local native who was in charge of rowing the boat was unable to escape and was shot in the left arm by an arrow. He screamed and made a huge sound full of fear.
The translator next to Boss Wei said: "Platoon leader! There is tree poison on the arrow."
Boss Wei gritted his teeth, put his head down and cursed: "Donkey Hair Ball, how dare you ambush your Grandpa Wei!"
The native who was hit by the arrow soon became poisoned, fell down at the stern of the boat, and fell into the turbid river water with a splash, causing a huge splash.
Boss Wei was shocked and annoyed when he saw the native falling into the water, and cursed, "Donkey hair ball!"
Another hail of arrows came over.
But this time everyone hid under the planks of the ship and no one was hit by arrows.
Boss Wei put his head out of the boat and looked out. He saw at least five hundred Cambodian soldiers standing by the river with various weapons. Most of the soldiers were holding iron-tipped spears. There were about fifty archers hiding among them.
Behind the trees, take the arrow and shoot this way.
When the Cambodian soldiers finished firing another round of arrows, Boss Wei shouted, "Fight back!"
Thirty-two soldiers of the Tiger Army and thirty soldiers of the nominal battalion raised their rifles, stuck their heads out of the ship's plank, and fired fiercely at the archers in the rainforest.
"Pap-pap-pap-pap!"
The new recruits of the Yizi Battalion were not very accurate in shooting, but the soldiers of the Huben Army platoon were very skilled in shooting. I only saw a flash of fire from the muzzles of dozens of rifles, and more than 20 Cambodian soldiers by the river were shot.
.
However, the Cambodian soldiers were quite tenacious. The more than thirty archers who were still alive bent their bows and shot arrows, and threw a rain of arrows in this direction.
Boss Wei's soldiers hurriedly hid under the ship's plank.
With a whooshing sound in the air, an arrow hit a Yizi camp soldier. The soldier was hit in the face by the arrow and screamed loudly. Other Yizi camp soldiers nearby quickly pulled out the poison for him.
arrow, but the soldier who was hit by the arrow lost control due to the curare poison, desperately covered the wound with his hands, and roared at the top of his lungs.
"ah"
With a scream, the soldier from the Yizi Battalion rolled violently on the board of the ship, as if he was in extreme pain due to a curare attack.
Boss Wei looked at the soldiers of Yizi Camp, his face was red with anger, and he shouted loudly: "Beat! Beat these soldiers to death!"
The soldiers of the Huben Army used rear-fire guns, which were very fast to reload. Before the soldiers could shoot poisonous arrows again, the thirty-two riflemen had already finished loading, and raised their guns to shoot at the archers by the river.
"Snap, snap, snap!"
Although only half of the archers by the river were exposed behind the tree trunks, the distance was so close and the Tiger Soldiers' shooting skills were superb. Nearly twenty archers were still killed. Suddenly only the archers of the local soldiers were left.
Several people were completely defeated.
However, the native soldiers holding spears were also not good at fighting. Taking advantage of the close distance between the two sides, the native soldiers threw their spears in this direction one after another.
"Tum! Tum!"
A Tiger Soldier soldier who was shooting was hit in the right shoulder by a spear. He screamed and dropped the rifle in his hand. Fortunately, there was no poison on the spear. The soldier next to him quickly provided battlefield first aid to the injured soldier.
He forcefully pulled out the iron spear that had pierced into Pao Ze's muscle, took out gauze and started to stop the bleeding.
The spears were thrown one after another, which was very intimidating. The soldiers of the Tiger Army fired with these spears. Although they could still kill and injure the enemy, their accuracy dropped significantly under the pressure of the spears, sometimes more than a dozen
The gun couldn't hit anyone.
Boss Wei turned his head while reloading, and was thinking of a solution, when he suddenly heard the warriors behind him roaring.
"Into~"
I don’t know when three small boats carrying thirty warriors stopped at the shore. The warriors, who were dressed as warriors, drew their samurai swords and rushed to the shore. They rushed towards more than two hundred Cambodian soldiers.
.
Thirty warriors wearing straw sandals ran wildly among the roots of the banyan tree.
The Cambodian soldiers drew their machetes and fought with the warriors.
Compared with the thin Southeast Asian natives, the martial arts of the warriors were much higher. Although the native soldiers had the advantage in numbers, the space in the dense forest was limited and they could not surround the warriors. In the light of swords and shadows, more than 400 native soldiers actually fought against 30 warriors.
The killing was inextricable.
The warriors had outstanding swordsmanship and deadly swords, and they soon began to kill and injure the soldiers. However, there were many soldiers after all, and they would cut their scimitars on the warriors from time to time.
At the critical moment, thirty soldiers from the nominal battalion drew their muskets and rushed ashore.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"Kill all the barbarians!"
Only a cry of killing was heard, and the soldiers of the Yizi Battalion fired at the natives with muskets. Amidst the crackling gunfire, the native soldiers fell one after another, and blood spattered everywhere. Thirty soldiers from the Yizi Battalion shot
After finishing the first blunderbuss, he threw the blunderbuss on the ground, then took out the other blunderbuss and shot again.
The ferocious firepower caused the soldiers to scream in agony, and soon they collapsed.
The samurai's eyes were bloodshot from the killing, and they chased into the dense forest with their samurai swords raised. Not to be outdone, the soldiers from Yizi Camp also drew out their forged steel knives and rushed forward...
After a bloody battle, the warriors stood in front of Boss Wei carrying more than 60 heads obtained from the chase. The soldiers from Yizi Camp captured more than 100 heads and counted them there with joy.
In addition to the more than 50 soldiers killed by the Huben Army soldiers, more than 200 soldiers were killed in this battle.
According to the Tianjin King's bonus of 10 taels of silver for each Cambodian soldier, after this fight, a team with less than 100 people will receive a bonus of more than 2,000 taels.
However, the warriors who were covered in blood suffered heavy losses, and three warriors died in the fight.
Boss Wei walked up to the body of a middle-aged warrior and said, "According to the king's policy, there is a pension of eighty taels for his family."
Military policy: The Huben army will receive a 300 tael pension for those killed in battle, the Yizi camp will receive a 200 tael pension for those killed in battle, and the Japanese samurai will receive 80 taels for those killed in battle.
The samurai captain next to him heard the translation, shook his head, and said: "Platoon leader, this ronin samurai has no family. His family originally belonged to the Western Army. After the Sekigahara War, he lost his official position and salary, and died of hunger and cold. He died of illness.
He has no brothers or sisters, and since he was fifteen years old, he has been working as a ronin in various places and has been wandering for thirty years."
"Now that he dies on the battlefield, he deserves to die."
When Boss Wei heard what the warrior captain said, he was silent for a long time.
"Take eighty taels of silver to buy a good cemetery and bury him generously."
