Chapter 1198: Entering the Taipei Basin

Before, Marin had sent a soldier to occupy the Tamsui River estuary and built a Tamsui Fort as an outpost in the Taipei Basin. However, because Marin wants to go north to pay tribute, he has not entered the Taipei Basin for the time being. However, after completing the tribute, Marin can now free his hands to deal with the indigenous people.

Moreover, it's only early April and the climate is still very cool. Soldiers wearing plate armor are also acceptable, not too hot. So, after preparing enough food, Marin took troops to land in Tamsui Port and made preparations to enter the Taipei Basin.

Because of the land competition, Marin brought the thousands of immigrants together. Before launching the general attack, Marin also selected 500 strong soldiers from thousands of immigrants, issued weapons, and participated in training with the army.

In fact, this war is not difficult at all. Marin's thousand soldiers came only 500. Of these 500 people, the front row is Kane and his 100 elite wearing plate armor. The next 400 people are assistants wearing rhinoceros armor.

The tactics to fight Fanmin are also very simple and rude-let Kahn directly attack the Fanmin's battlefield with a 100-piece "unbeatable Xiaoqiang" wearing plate armor, and crush it. Then, on the shoulders of the big guys, beat the Fanmin Zhuangding with wooden sticks wrapped with cloth. First remove the weapon in their hands, and then see whoever is not honest, until they are honest ...

Marin actually used this tactic when he last attacked Tamsui. However, the wooden stick was not tied to the cloth last time, which caused the attack to be too hard, causing many Fanmin Zhuangding to be beaten to the head and bleeding, wasting a lot of alcohol and bandages.

Therefore, Marin's attack this time caused everyone to tie the cloth to the wooden stick. The effect is similar to the rubber batons of later generations. It hurts, but it is not easy to beat people. That is to say, you have a swollen nose and blue face, but it does not bleed, making you remember for a long time.

In order to protect the soldiers from harm, except for the 100 pioneers who were wearing plate armor and were not afraid of hitting, the others were holding a rattan card on the left and a wooden stick wrapped with cloth on the right. Some are like swords and shields, but only beat people without killing them.

But in order to prevent the enemy from being particularly brutal, Marin prepared 50 swordmen. When he meets those who are not afraid of pain and resolutely resist, give him a knife, so as not to hurt himself because he is too kind to the enemy.

In fact, these rattan brands compiled by Li Laizi have not gone through the repeated procedures of "brushing tung oil and drying" many times, and the quality is not up to standard. Mainly, the protection against swords and arrows is still insufficient.

However, the aboriginal people on Taiwan Island still use stone tools and no sharp metal weapons. Therefore, this junior version of the rattan can also resist the attack of the aborigines.

The 500 recruits selected by Marin from the new immigrants all held rattan cards, and the main hand was equipped with wooden sticks wrapped in cloth as combat weapons.

However, in the future, they will also be equipped with sheathed swords. This is to target some fierce tribes, in the case where the wooden stick cannot subdue, they can only use the sword to destroy the opponent.

Indigenous people on Taiwan Island can actually be divided into two categories-Pingpu and Gaoshan.

The Pingpu people mainly refer to the indigenous people living on the western and northern coasts of Taiwan Island. These coastal indigenous peoples have started to engage in simple agricultural activities of slash and burn. They also have contact with the Han people from the mainland. Relatively mild. Therefore, the Han people also called the Pingpu ethnic group "Fu Fan".

The Gaoshan tribe mainly refers to the indigenous people who live in the mountain forests on the island and mainly live on hunting. The living conditions of these aborigines are more primitive, even eating meat is raw, and the temperament is relatively fierce. Therefore, they are also called "shengfan".

Moreover, some tribes of the inland life have the habit of eating people. Although not many, there are some.

Therefore, Marin let his men be equipped with swords, mainly for those fierce lives. Marin's order is-to meet Shufan, try to live as much as possible, and then be transformed into residents.

If you encounter Shengfan, in addition to beating, you must also understand. If the Shengfan tribes with cannibalism were all taken down, they were punished as slaves. If you dare to resist, kill without amnesty. For the villain who eats people, Marin has no good feelings and will not be merciful.

...

Of course, that is what happened afterwards. For the recruits composed of 500 strong soldiers, the most important thing at present is to train the most basic military skills, such as queues and the like. And, the courage to fight.

In the era of cold weapons, the most important thing in combat is discipline and courage. As long as they are not scared to escape, they can defeat their opponents with the support of strict discipline.

Moreover, after this year, with the success of the complete set of rattan and rattan made by Li Lazi, after equipped with these equipments, even if the army composed of these civilians is not as brave and warlike as the indigenous people, they can rely on the advantages of equipment to suppress the opponents.

But this time when he went to the Taipei Basin, Marin only brought 500 soldiers to the battle. Then, the 500 strong people accompanied them, mainly to let them meet the world and practice their guts. In the future, when Marin returned to China, the island of Taiwan would be supported by them and the troops of Keelung and Tamsui.

Of course, Marin will not completely rely on these Han people to strengthen their army. This is because if these Han people have a dissident leader, they will be betrayed.

Therefore, Marin's future plan for the army stationed on Dongfan Island is to mobilize 500 local people to serve as the core force and control firearms. Then he bought two thousand black slaves from Africa and formed a black army like Zheng Chenggong. In the end, it is natural to select the Minzhuang from the Han people and the local indigenous people to form troops. In this way, without relying on a pure foreign army, you are not afraid of being rebelled. Conversely, if you completely trust the army formed by Han immigrants, if you are an ambitionist, Dongfan Island will be gone ...

...

After two or three weeks of simple training, the 500 militiamen have basically been sorted out, and the queue has gone like a decent. At the same time, I also learned the most basic combat actions of swords and shields, such as blocking, cutting, and stabbing.

In fact, the 200 rattan soldiers that Li Laizi formed in Danshuibao before had more complicated tactical moves. For example, holding a rattan card and a single knife, rolling forward on the ground to avoid complex movements like muskets.

However, that requires long-term training to master. Moreover, for the Aboriginal people, there is no need for such complicated tactical moves. As long as you learn the most basic tactical actions such as blocking, slashing, stabbing and dialing, it is enough to deal with the aborigines ...

Facts have also proved this point. After Marin led troops from Tamsui Port, along the Tamsui River, and into the Taipei Basin, the battle with the first Fanshe completely depended on 500 elite veterans of the Beihai Kingdom. As for the 500 strong men who were on the battlefield for the first time, they were terrified and trembling. Some even peeed their pants, and some wanted to throw their arms away and escape ...

Then, all those who wanted to escape were ordered to be beaten badly by Marin.

In the second battle, the auxiliary soldiers formed by the people were much better. At least, no longer want to run away and pee pants.

After playing seven or eight Fanshe Zhaizi ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ These folks have been able to fully adapt to the battlefield atmosphere. Of course, this atmosphere is not intense enough. Because the fighting power of the aborigines is too scum.

In the last few Fanshe villages, Marin simply let the 500 militia go to the main attack, and he took the 500 veterans to the side.

In the beginning, a lot of things went wrong. Some militiamen usually train well, but they really enter the battle and often forget any tactical moves. Some people even froze in place, their brains blank ...

Marin had a headache, and was very helpless about this situation.

In fact, the selection of soldiers in the Beihai Kingdom is strictly based on "only selecting those who are brave and do not accept defeat" in the contest. Therefore, the soldiers selected by the Beihai army are basically bravery, and it is rare that the brain is blank after going to the battlefield. Therefore, Marin himself has no good solution to this situation.

Fortunately, Marin's 500 veterans have been passing by, and did not let the 500 recruits die. However, there were still several stunned heart diseases that were injured, but not serious. After all, they wore semi-finished rattans and took semi-finished rattan cards, and the protection was still very high. Aboriginal stone weapons are still difficult to cause fatal damage to them ...
