The Wuman and Baiman are mainly distributed in the southwest of Sichuan and Sichuan. Like the Siman tribe in the Bashu region, taking advantage of the chaos of the Sui Dynasty in the past few years, without anyone to suppress them, the Wuman and Baiman forces developed rapidly, and even came out of the mountains to occupy
Some towns originally owned by the Han people.
But last year, Xiao Zhuang of Liang State sent a large army to attack Wuman and Baiman, hoping to force the two tribes to surrender to him.
After several battles, the Wuman tribe and the Baiman tribe were defeated one after another, but their fates were different.
The Wuman tribe chose to submit to the Liang State, but the Baiman tribe refused to surrender because their leader was killed by the Liang people on the battlefield. They were forced to move to the Baiman's ancestral land and fought guerrilla warfare with the Liang people. Their life was very difficult.
After some discussion, Bai Xiaobo and Huang Shaoqiu decided to find a safer place to stay as a base behind enemy lines when there was no supply of food and grass in the rear.
Based on the principle that the enemy of the enemy is an ally, they set their destination as the Baiman ancestral land.
Because it was inconvenient to move a large ship, and there was a fear of scaring the Baiman tribe if there were too many people, Huang Shaoqiu asked Bai Xiaobo to lead a thousand naval forces in a small boat, bring some gifts to the Baiman tribe, and visit and communicate in advance.
However, these thousand navy troops were suddenly attacked after entering a branch of the Yangtze River.
Even though the fifty boats brought by Bai Xiaobo were the smallest in the seal camp, they were still huge in front of the bamboo rafts that attacked them.
However, these simple bamboo rafts were turned into the sharpest weapons by the people who controlled them. For a while, it seemed that they caused a lot of trouble to Bai Xiaobo and his party.
More than a hundred bamboo rafts suddenly burst out of the dense water plants and rammed into fifty seal camp boats as fast as sharp arrows, like a large group of wolves pounced on a tiger to bite them.
Bai Xiaobo was shocked but not confused. The one thousand SEAL battalion soldiers below were not nervous at all. They all had evil smiles on their faces. They quickly cocked their crossbows and held the steel knives in their hands, ready to fight.
However, when the bamboo rafts got closer, Bai Xiaobo and others were shocked.
There was no one on the bamboo raft, but the bamboo raft hit them like flying.
"The enemy is under the water, be prepared to fight at close range." Without Bai Xiaobo's order, no soldier used a quick crossbow to shoot at the water near the bamboo raft to kill the enemy below.
Bai Xiaobo did not issue such an order, because he could not see the people under the water. If he shot rashly, the accuracy would be greatly reduced and the arrows would be wasted.
You must know that when they send troops this time, they will not be supplemented by the weapons, equipment and equipment of the engineering supply camp. The province still needs to use them sparingly, especially if they shoot towards the water, it will be too difficult to recover them afterwards.
As for bombing these bamboo rafts with grenades or attacking them with small trebuchets on the boats, Bai Xiaobo didn't want to waste them.
Of course, this is a sign of full confidence in one's own fighting ability.
After all, any act of saving weapons and equipment is not life-threatening.
In this way, Bai Xiaobo led a thousand SEAL battalion soldiers as if they had not noticed the enemy attack and did not make any reaction.
The enemies under the water followed the bloody lessons learned in the past and hid their bodies under the bamboo rafts, but they never received any attacks. I couldn't help but wonder if the Han navy was frightened by their methods.
Silly.
I don’t know how the people under the bamboo raft did it. The speed of the bamboo raft is amazing. Even Sun Yang can’t swim that fast!
Ten breaths later, nearly two hundred bamboo rafts collided with the fifty ships of the seal camp. Each warship was hit by almost four bamboo rafts.
It's just that the result of the collision once again disappointed the enemies under the bamboo raft.
In the past, when they used this attack method, the enemy's ships would basically fall apart. Even if they didn't fall apart, the ship would be knocked over and the people on it would fall into the water and be easily killed by them in the water.
However, today there were only a few loud noises, and then all their bamboo rafts were knocked apart by the rebounding force. The hit ship only shook for a while and then returned to calm.
The most important thing is that the ship that was hit was intact.
Nearly two thousand capable warriors who looked like they were not Han Chinese emerged from under the broken bamboo raft. After being stunned for a moment, they all looked at the unimaginably strong ship in front of them, with greedy eyes in their eyes, and then
They screamed strangely and swam wildly, rushing towards the ship in front of them.
"They are barbarians, but I don't know if they are white barbarians or black barbarians." Bai Xiaobo frowned slightly. It was not a good thing whether they were white barbarians or black barbarians who attacked them at this time.
It's not that Bai Xiaobo is afraid of not being able to defeat his opponent.
However, if it was a white barbarian, this battle might cause misunderstandings and be detrimental to future cooperation.
And if the people coming are Wuman people, it means that Xiao Zhang may have noticed their intentions and sent Wuman people to stop them.
The current situation did not allow Bai Xiaobo to think too much, because on average, there were about fifty barbarians around each ship, using their hands and feet, holding all kinds of sharp blades in their mouths, and they were as agile as monkeys in climbing up the seal camp.
on board the ship, intending to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers of the SEAL battalion above.
"Go down with the order, kill half and keep half of the prisoners." Bai Xiaobo's frowned brows relaxed, his expression was calm, and he gave the order calmly.
The messenger next to him immediately picked up a unique trumpet, puffed up his cheeks, and blew hard.
The rhythm of the trumpet sound was very distinct and easy to distinguish, so the captains and soldiers on the other 49 warships immediately understood Bai Xiaobo's order.
Naturally, these barbarian warriors didn't know what the sound of the horn meant. As they climbed onto the warship and experienced the warship in front of them up close, they became even more excited and excited. Many of them even looked amazed.
This kind of crude bamboo raft was not the only thing in their clan, they also had boats, but they found that the best boats in their clan were just rubbish compared to the boats in front of them.
This boat is actually not made of wood, but made of something like iron, and it is flat and smooth.
Why do they feel like iron? It's because they don't know what metal is, let alone what a steel plate is.
In the eyes of Bai Xiaobo and the thousand soldiers of the Seal Battalion, these barbarians looked very familiar. Obviously, these barbarians had done this kind of thing before, and judging from the excitement on the faces of these barbarian warriors, they had used this method in the past.
The method was very smooth.
"It's just that this time you really kicked the steel plate." Bai Xiaobo suddenly felt that this matter was very interesting, because he remembered what the witch-like chief instructor said on Snake Island: Use the advantages of weapons and equipment to go there.
Bullying the enemy.
Before his eyes, Bai Xiaobo felt that they were bullying others.
The subsequent battle was between each captain leading twenty soldiers and forty barbarian warriors. The general Bai Xiaobo no longer had to personally command.
The battle process patterns on the fifty battleships are very unified and similar.
When the barbarian warriors climbed up excitedly, the fifty captains still did not order to fire the crossbow arrows, because this would cause the barbarian warriors to fall into the water with the crossbow arrows, making it difficult to recover the crossbow bolts when they turned around.
So just like that, the SEAL battalion soldiers on the fifty battleships waited with indifferent and sinister faces for all the forty barbarian warriors in front of them to board the ship smoothly. Then, at the captain's order, they fired a wave of crossbow arrows and shot them to death on the spot.
After a third of the battle, twenty people formed a small battle formation and started fighting in close combat with the remaining barbarian warriors who rushed up. They all uniformly forced them to the middle of the deck to prevent them from jumping off the ship and escaping.
The next step is simple. The small battle formation set up by twenty SEAL battalion soldiers is like a strangulation machine, easily killing each barbarian warrior.
The barbarian warriors changed from excitement and excitement at the beginning, to solemnity, then to a look of incredible horror, and finally to despair.
When half of the barbarian warriors were dead, they tried to escape by jumping into the water, but found that they had been blocked from all the diving ways.
The fifty captains did not forget Bai Xiaobo's order and immediately began to persuade them to surrender.
These barbarian warriors surrendered immediately without any scruples about self-respect and integrity, showing their special respect for life and the simplicity of the jungle.
If you can't fight, you will die if you fight. If you don't surrender, you are stupid!
"Let each battleship report the results of the battle." Seeing that there were no more screams and fighting sounds, Bai Xiaobo ordered calmly.
The two messengers next to him transmitted his orders to the fifty warships through visual and auditory modes using flags and loudspeakers respectively.
Soon, the fifty warships first signaled by sounding their trumpets, and then reported their battle results with more complicated semaphores.
Next to Bai Xiaobo, a counselor led four soldiers to translate the flags on each battleship into specific contents as quickly as possible and summarized them.
"Report to General, in this battle, we killed forty-seven people, injured nineteen people, killed one thousand and fifty-nine enemies, and captured nine hundred and forty-one people." The counselor came to Bai Xiaobo and reported.
Bai Xiaobo nodded, and then ordered: "Keep a clear record of the battle results and battle losses of each battleship, and make sure there are no mistakes in calculating the battle merits afterwards."
The young counselor, who was about the same age as Bai Xiaobo and graduated from Fanyang College only one year later than Bai Xiaobo, quickly said yes respectfully.
At this time, the captain of the main ship came over and saluted Bai Xiaobo and reported: "General, we have already asked, the people who came are from the Wuman tribe, but the specific information needs further questioning."
"Are they from the Wuman tribe?" Bai Xiaobo frowned and ordered: "It seems that our intentions have been known to Xiao Zhang. These Wuman tribesmen should have been forced here by Xiao Zhang."
Bai Xiaobo took out the map and found the location of the Wuman tribe. After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up and he said: "Give me the order to have all the warships throw all the corpses into the water, and then ask them to torture their respective prisoners.
