Chapter 786: We're fucked!

The early morning mist has not cleared yet. The peace of the night made Chu people temporarily feel a little tranquility. But this silence was quickly broken.

"Wow." The sound began to sound. It's like the footsteps of African migratory animals. However, this is not Africa, but an undeveloped indigenous land.

"What's that?" A man of Chu State standing guard shouted loudly.

"Hey, get up quickly. There is a situation." Chu countryman then shouted loudly.

"Bang." There was a clear gunshot. As soon as the man of Chu State was anxious, he immediately drew his flintlock gun to warn him.

"What's the situation? Damn it." Chu people heard the gunshot. They found their weapons subconsciously, and at the same time, they were dissatisfied with the aboriginals launching an offensive in the early morning.

"Uu. Uu." This time the aboriginal offense began to form a formation. They were divided into three big offensive formations. These formations are no longer as loose as they used to be. The indigenous people are also learning, and they are beginning to understand. Deal with Chu people. Something must be changed. This is how civilization spreads. At the same time, this is also a kind of progress of indigenous civilization. But every progress always requires some price. Otherwise it is difficult to move forward.

"Hurry up and get into your own combat position, hurry up. Hurry up." The head shouted loudly. And all of them took their flintlocks and entered the fighting positions.

"We must think of another way. Such a swarm of shots is too stupid." An veteran suggested.

"Then what do you say we should do?" the head asked.

"We should learn from the Qin people. I know that the Qin people have a flintlock platoon tactic. We can try it." When the veteran was using the flintlock, he heard about the Qin platoon tactics. He knows that that kind of tactic is very powerful. Able to knock down the cavalry of the northern nomadic tribe. The cavalry can only be beaten even in the face of platoon gun tactics.

"Punch tactics?" the head asked.

"Yes, it is the platoon gun tactic. Divide the people into three rows. The first row shoots, the second row is ready to shoot. The third row is loaded with ammunition. The first row is fired, and the second row keeps up with the shooting. And the third row is completed at this time Reload. Prepare for shooting," said the head.

"That's the regular army's style of play, can we do it?" the head asked.

"I don't know, give it a try, at least we can survive." said the veteran.

"Well then, try to do this," said the head. In fact, what I thought was right. This kind of platoon tactics can only be completed after iduan time love you training. Because of the mutual cooperation and the loading of ammunition in each link, the aiming must be able to keep up. But the Chu people are a group of stragglers, few of them have gone to the battlefield after systematic military training. Some of them got flintlock shots for the first time.

"Everyone, stand up, and for a while, we will use new tactics, every three people in a group. The first person shoots, the second person prepares. The third person loads ammunition. When the first person finishes shooting After that, the people behind quickly followed and shot. The people behind have finished loading ammunition at this time. Next, I don't need to say anything." The veteran greeted.

"What does this mean?" a young man asked.

"Qin people's platooning tactics, if used well, we may survive. I hope everyone can cooperate with each other. Can we survive? It depends on our mutual love and cooperation." The veteran said.

"Okay. Everyone find someone by themselves, and make a team of three. Hurry up. The indigenous people are going to call. Hurry up." The head walked over at this moment and shouted loudly.

"Well, who knows Qin's **** tactics are not good. Shooting like this. Only one-third of the people are shooting each time. Can we win this way?" a young man asked.

"Try it," the person on the side replied.

"Woo. Ah. Afo." The indigenous people were praying for the last god. Some people also danced a war dance in front of the gods. They hoped to get shelter from the gods in the sky in this way.

"What are those **** aboriginal people doing?" a native of Echu asked.

"Don't look. Let's get ready, whoever fired the first shot. Forget it, I'll leave it alone." A Chu countryman pointed to the speaker and said.

"I." The Chu countryman stretched out his fingers and gestured.

"Yes, it's you."

"You shot the first shot. I shot the second. You, the last shot." Chu said.

"Okay." The Chu people are assigning the final defensive location according to a three-person tactical team. They have such a three-person team with more than twenty teams. There are some wounded soldiers in the middle, and their loading speed must be greatly affected.

In order to ensure the efficiency of the battle, the Chu people try their best to distribute the wounded soldiers together. The four people are alive in groups of five, and all those who can move are arranged in a three-person team that can fire normally.

There was a moment of silence on the battlefield. Even the birds in the morning stopped calling. The sound of silence was only the sound of the **** indigenous people praying before the war.

\"Do we need to do something?" a young Chu countryman asked.

"No, we'll just wait." A mature Chu countryman replied.

"Oh," the young man replied.

"Ula dumb, whoosh." the natives muttered. Then waved his arms as if he had gotten something.

"Ah." exclaimed loudly.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

"Yeah." After the indigenous people burst out a strong pre-battle declaration. Start to attack. At this time, the sun was already angry. Blue sky and white clouds. A very conducive weather.

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu." The indigenous people divided into three teams and began a crazy attack towards the stronghold of Chu. They first approached the Chu people at a constant speed. Because the Chu people's rifle can't reach them. The indigenous people should be based on this method. Maintain your physical strength. Slowly approaching Chu people. In the first round of shooting by the Chu people. They started to do the final speed, and they wanted to hit the Chu people as fast as possible. Then launch a sudden attack.

"Preparation for the first round of shooting." The head shouted loudly.

Six groups of shooting teams took up the place where the explosives collapsed yesterday and began to take aim and shoot.

"Fifty steps. Let go." The head shouted loudly.

"Bang. Bang." A burst of shooting sounded.

Some people fell among the indigenous people. But the two teams on the flanks did not suffer any losses. The shot hit the center. The Chu people did not have enough shooting surface to attack their opponents. The manpower is really too few.

"Second round. Let go." The head shouted again.

"Bang Bang." There was a burst of gunfire. This time it is still from the central to the subordinates. But the aboriginals had already begun to sprint desperately at this time, and they wanted to cross this killing distance as quickly as possible.

"The third round. Shoot." The head yelled.

"Bang bang." The gunfire sounded. The indigenous people fell down some people again.

"Next round." He waved his head.

"Damn it. So fast." A young man slowly inserted the pillar of fire back into his rifle. Then he hurriedly opened the fire door and shot.

"Bang Bang." This round of shooting is obviously not as straightforward as the first round.

"Bang." "Bang." Some people developed early, some shot later. And some talents just opened the fire door. Seeing that someone has fired. I am anxious and shoot before I can take aim. The results of the shooting can be imagined.

It is very unwise to organize platooning tactics in a hurry. Because platoon tactics require certain training. Especially when a team completes a coordinated shooting. The most important thing is the time to reload the bullet.

The first three rounds of shooting. The bullet pair has been loaded. Therefore, Chu people can shoot indifferently. But it was the fourth round. Because the time to reload the bullet is different. When the shooting was caused, some people had already fired. And some people can't even fire a gun.

"Damn it. The propellant is not loaded." A young man scolded anxiously.

"Next round." The order has been issued at this time.

"It's too fast," the young man scolded. His bullet loading speed is far less than the speed at which his head gives orders.

"Aim. Release." The head shot order has been issued.

"Damn it." Finally, the young man was pushed back by the people behind. Go to the next round of shooting. And this round. There are still some people who have not imagined that they have loaded the bullets. The loading of flintlock bullets has simplified some procedures. Bullets used in the early model flintlocks of the Qin State fired gunpowder and ignited the gunpowder separation. Later, oiled paper or deerskin was used for the whole cover, and then grease and wax were used for sealing. When fighting, you need to bite off the bullet with a small mouth. Then pour a part of the gunpowder on the fire door, and then pour a part of the propellant into the firing barrel. Then use a pillar of fire to press the bullet into the barrel, and then open the fire door for a second shot.

Even so, it is very unwise to organize platooning tactics in a hurry without overall professional training. In fact, it is true. When Qin State was training his own soldiers. All need to complete 15 days of special loading training and shooting rhythm training. Then there is a whole team for training. And during training. All soldiers need to shout out their slogans. Because the battlefield is noisy and chaotic. All sounds are there. The officer's order is likely not to be covered up. Therefore, a second retransmission is required. This is why soldiers need to put out their slogans loudly. Actually. Mainly aimed at the firing of artillery. The loud noise when the artillery fired severely interfered with the command of the platoon gun tactics by the officer.

But now, the people of Chu have no artillery. The only thing they are more advanced than the natives is that they use muskets in their hands. A musket that can penetrate any weapon of the indigenous people. Artillery, this weapon of mass destruction, they were not equipped because they had a serious shortage of funds. Only when they accumulated enough funds in the slave trade could they buy them and then use them in the slave war.

"Let it go." The head kept yelling loudly. He hoped that his loud yelling could also turn into bullets to shoot those **** natives.

"Woo." The native yelled loudly but rushed over.

"Bang." A Chu countryman stood on the gap and knocked out a person with a rifle in his hand.

The native man leaned forward, then turned and fell to the ground. A beautiful position on the ground, but no use, he was hit. This is war. Falling down means one step closer to death.

"Bang." Another Chu countryman quickly stepped forward and shot the indigenous people who had been only a few steps away with his rifle. The strong gunpowder smoke emitted from the gun blocked Chu Guo and aimed and shot with the rifle in his hand. But at such a close distance, there is no need to aim.

"Shoot." The head shouted loudly. Then shoot continuously with the pistol in your hand.

The merchants of Chu are very calculating. They have already spent a lot of money to buy ships, guns and ammunition. And the price of bullets is not cheap. In particular, the price of a loose bomb is ridiculously high. One bullet is equivalent to three times the ordinary bullet. Scattered bullets are actually shotgun bullets. This type of bullet is very suitable for close combat, especially when it comes to close combat. A shot of a shotgun can knock out a lot of the opponent's combat effectiveness. The Qin Army often used this bullet in close combat. Moreover, it is widely used. The short-barreled flintlock used by the cavalry is the first bullet installed. Because cavalry fights at close range, the combat distance is relatively short. But the flintlock with a slower rate of fire cannot meet the cavalry's rapid combat requirements, so they use this kind of shotgun. And it's powerful. The combat effectiveness is very high.

But Chu people are different. They do not have such weapons, especially their financial situation does not allow them to buy such bullets. I thought it was too expensive. Has exceeded their usage requirements. Businessmen believe that to deal with those indigenous people who still hold stone-level weapons. The use of muskets is already quite powerful. The use of ordinary bullets is more than enough. Therefore, they did not spend any more money to buy such bullets.

Now, this kind of bullet is very useful, but the Chu people do not. They don't have such bullets for their own use.

"Ah." The Chu countryman just fired a bullet. A poison dart flew into his throat. He hit the dart.

The Chu countryman threw away the weapon in his hand and stuck his neck tightly with his hands. He felt some difficulty breathing. The darts are poisonous. And it is very toxic. Soon, that Chu countryman couldn't afford it, and eventually he would suffocate and die.

"Woo." The indigenous people rushed to the Chu people again.

"Go to hell." The Chu people stopped shooting, and they had no time to load the second bullet. They can only use bayonet and butt. Come to kill the opponent.

"Bang." There was a sound of the **** hitting the bone. An indigenous man was hit in the head severely by the **** of a rifle. In an instant, blood was flowing all over his head. The natives fell.

"Puff." A spear made of sharp stones hit the native with its butt. Stabbed into the back of the Chu countryman.

"Damn it." The Chu countryman cursed with all his strength.

"Puff." More stone spears pierced into the Chu people. The indigenous people swarmed up.

Soon, Chu people were killed by this simple weapon.

"We can't stand it anymore." The young man's fighting will was shaken first.

"Don't run. Everyone will die. Fight." The head shouted loudly. Saying that he rushed into the aboriginal crowd with his short sword.

He grabbed an indigenous man with his left hand. Stabbing the dagger into the lower abdomen of the indigenous people with his right hand, then quickly pulled out the dagger, turned and waved. Another native's chest was cut open by a sharp dagger. Splashes of blood are everywhere. With proficient fighting skills. The head fight is very easy, but the indigenous people are not beasts to slaughter, they are ethnic minorities with a strong sense of fighting. They quickly gave their heads based on their number advantage.

"Puff." First, a stone axe injured the left arm of the head. Then a spear stabbed him in the left leg.

"Ah." The head yelled, and then vigorously waved the dagger in his hand and gave the spear native.

"Puff puff." The head just used the short sword to force the spear away. Two natives with javelins inserted into his back. Endure great pain. I want to spin back and kill the two natives. But this time. He really has no strength. The pain was unbearable for him.

"Puff puff." More and more spear javelins pierced his head. He couldn't bear it.

The head fell down. At the last minute. He saw many aboriginals crowding around. Assassinate him. Finally he lost consciousness.

"Retreat." a veteran shouted. After losing the commander. The Chu people's defense line soon collapsed. Their numbers simply cannot withstand so many aboriginal attacks. Although the weapons are advanced. But this weapon still has some fatal flaws. These shortcomings are enough to make them unable to defend the entire front.

"Retreat. Retreat." Chu people began to retreat continuously, and they began to retreat to where they lived. Fight back with some favorable obstacles.

"Boom." A gunshot sounded. One of the indigenous people fell. This kind of close range and high density can easily cause loss of opponent personnel. But this loss is nothing to them. The worst thing is. The indigenous people are quickly approaching them by taking advantage of their great personnel.

After a man from Chu had finished shooting. Immediately squat down and reload ammunition. But the one behind him is not so lucky. He just stood up, when he was about to take aim at the enemy. A poison dart shot over. The poison dart hit him in the eye.

"Boom." A gunshot sounded. But the bullet was shot into the sky.

"Damn it. We retreat. The enemy rushed over." Chu people can only fight and retreat.

"Uuuuu." The indigenous people rushed over quickly. But they are cruel. For the Chu nationality they killed with poison darts, this Chu nationality must be unable to save. But the indigenous people feel puzzled. Then the axe in his hand came fiercely. Cut off the Chu people's neck. So my head is separated.

"We can still retreat. We're done. We can't beat our opponent." A Chu countryman shouted loudly.

"Retreat to the edge of the cliff." A Chu countryman shouted. They are loading ammunition on the side. One side retreated back. The situation makes it difficult for them to make the right choice. The situation has become very critical.

More and more Chu people were brutally murdered. The indigenous people were almost killed by extremely cruel methods. It was Chu Guoli. Even the corpses that have died, they will not let go. Many corpses were dismembered a second time. The indigenous people hate Chu people to death.

"We have no way. What should we do?" Chu people, with only a dozen people left, were facing the biggest dilemma in their lives at this time. Aboriginal people swarming up in front. And behind them is a cliff. This is the location of the stronghold chosen by the Chu people. Rely on here. They can light a campfire and guide their ships here.

"There is no ship, no one comes to rescue us. We're done." The Chu people at the end felt extremely desperate, there was no reinforcement, and there was no way out. The hope of birth disappeared all at once.

"Woo." The indigenous people chased after him. They rushed up slowly.

"Fight." Some Chu people thought that it was all death anyway, and that they should have a few backs before death. More lives for one life. In this desperate environment, it is easy for people to have this idea. Soon, this Chu nationality rushed into the aboriginal pile with a bayonet-mounted rifle.

"Rush." ​​The person who followed up quickly rushed over. More and more people rushed over with this idea.

"Puff." The bayonet cut through the flesh. "Ah." A spear pierced the back of the Chu countryman. In this moment, the Chu people tragically died in the hands of the natives.

"Bang." Some people also fired a shot. Then use the **** to smash the opponent severely. But soon, the indigenous people with absolute advantage responded to their attitude with weapons in their hands.

"Ah." There were several screams again. Soon, several Chu people fell to the ground. They are all dead. The war died at the feet of the indigenous people.

"What should we do?" said a Chu countryman with a leg injury, using a gun as his crutch.

"Can we still fight?" A Chu countryman smiled.

"Boom." A gunshot sounded. The Chu countryman ended his life with a pistol in his hand. And the injured Chu nationality was taken aback by what happened suddenly.

"What should we do?" The injured Chu countryman looked around and asked.

"What to do? I think that might be a way of life." A Chu countryman saw the sea behind him. Then he made up his mind and jumped down.

"Ah.\" the Chu countryman shouted loudly.

And this time. The indigenous people are getting closer and closer. You can catch them in almost a few steps. In a panic, the Chu people who were unwilling to die just like this jumped off like this.

Those who did not want to be killed by the natives also jumped down.

The waves of the sea hit the cliff fiercely. The loud noise concealed the sound of them jumping into the sea. In this way, the state of Chu, who was forced into desperation, disappeared from the eyes of the natives.

Afterwards, the indigenous people returned to the stronghold of the Chu people. They set fire to destroy everything they could burn, and took everything they could take away. As for the corpses, in revenge, they were extremely brutal and dismembered to pieces. Retaliation can also be manifested in the dead. Because their souls are still there. This is the thinking of the indigenous people.

After doing all this. The indigenous people triumphantly return to their tribal gathering place, and then convene their victory meeting.

The Chu people need to reflect on it. This battle is hard to be recorded in history. Because he was too small to hold the entire battle, this was indeed the first large-scale battle for the Chu people to colonize and expand abroad.

The result of the battle was that the Chu people were completely defeated. Many days later. The other ship who arrived to carry the slaves found that their stronghold no longer existed. And they also found some companions who were close to savages. They were all Chu people who jumped into the sea to escape. These stories are passed from their mouths. If there are no survivors, this story cannot be spread.

The ship passed by empty. They have no slaves to return. And they suffered a lot of losses, more than one hundred people were defeated within two days. Only a handful of people survived. The battle is too fierce.

Those who survived tell stories of their own experiences. The businessmen calculated their losses. And those who listen to the story are thinking about one thing, they are retreating and moving forward. What is the significance of this.

But they soon have an initial choice of their own. interest. As their reference. They know what to choose. The slave trade is an extremely profitable industry. This industry will soon become rich. This is a huge opportunity. Only by seizing the opportunity can you become rich and live the life they want.

The failure of Chu people is justified. First, their power is very weak. Since the slave trade has just started, they have just established a preliminary slave trade stronghold and they want to continue to expand the slave trade through this stronghold. But after all, it has just begun, so their power is still very weak. There are only more than one hundred combat personnel, nearly two hundred. And the weapon used is only an entry-level weapon opened in the weapon era.

The second is that this is an overseas operation. They are far away from the mainland and enter a completely unfamiliar environment. As for the opponent, the indigenous people are very familiar with the local environment. This geographical strangeness makes it difficult for them to launch a decent military operation. In other words, because of this strangeness, it is difficult for them to send a powerful armed force to intervene, and they cannot disrupt the other side's military operations in advance. Speaking of. The geographical strangeness makes it difficult for them to get a big chance of winning in this battle.

The third point is their weapons. They lack the ability to attack opponents from a distance. The people of Chu did not even use weapons such as bows and crossbows. There may be many reasons for not using them, but the most important thing is that their funds are not in place. But the lack of weapons is a fact. They don't have enough deadly weapons to fight their opponents. Especially in terms of heavy firepower. They do not have artillery that can completely suppress their opponents. As a result, the opponent quickly counterattacked. The war was defeated under such circumstances.

In any case, the Chu people lost in the first battle. And the loss was extremely heavy. But they will stand up again soon. Because they will never give up this kind of super profitable business.

Moreover, the slave trade has just begun. The Chu people, who opened the slave trade and the huge curtain of the slave war, are unwilling to give up like this. Their nature will not simply give up. Because the local living environment is too bad. Therefore, they have a lot of motivation to expand abroad.

The indigenous people have no idea what is happening outside. They still don't know what is happening in the outside world. But they know. Enjoying the present is what they should do most.

The Chu people are learning this lesson. And the businessman also began to realize. It is not so easy to conquer the locals, especially the locals have the advantage of the number of firepower and the geographical advantage. The Chu people must know nothing when they arrive in such an unfamiliar environment for the first time. At the beginning, they could use their own weapon advantage to beat the opponent, but once the opponent counterattacked, the tragedy of Chu people would happen. In the final analysis, this is caused by the unequal strength of the two sides. What they have to do now is to change this situation. The only way to change this situation is to increase your own strength.

But the problem is always this kind of snake swallowing its own tail. The problem is back to where it started. They still lack a lot of funds for the slave trade.

"We should buy more guns and buy more cannons to deal with the indigenous people. Those indigenous people are too barbaric. We can't kill them with a musket. It's too barbarous," said a Chu countryman. He felt terrified after hearing those rumors, and he was always looking for a way. He believes that his weapons should be as powerful as those used by the people of Qin in order to accomplish what they want.

"Huh." A businessman thought with disdain after hearing the conversation.

You poor and sour people know that buying guns and cannons does not make Lao Tzu money for nothing. It is earned back little by little. How much money can you make by selling a slave. How much does Lao Tzu give to those who are officials? And those water pirates. Anyone has to give something.

How much does the gun cost, and how much does the artillery cost. How can I pay the money? Can I afford it? Want to be beautiful, I have no real ability. With that ability, kill a few more indigenous people. Just know to make excuses here.

"Oh." The merchant sighed again in a blink of an eye. He really couldn't understand. Why did a person equipped with such a good weapon suddenly lose again? And this time I lost so much.

The businessman shook his head as he spoke. He really couldn't think of any good ideas.

The businessman fell into contemplation again. Since war is not good. Then use other methods. As long as there are business opportunities, there are always many options. This is worthy of recognition. Just when the merchants of Chu were thinking.

The situation on the Qin State side deteriorated again.

"Dig, dig every day." A Qi soldier complained. They have since attacked the Qin army last time. Their entire attack stopped. This stopped. Many people are still very happy because they think that they can avoid sending them to death.

"Okay. Almost digging. You can still dig alive and look at the people buried under the mound. Just think about it. You can keep your life, you can eat and drink. I can sleep. Those people will never wake up." An veteran scolded while digging.

"I got it. I got it," the soldier scolded.

"Don't know. I don't think you know how uncomfortable it is to die. Think of it as terrible. So many people died overnight, and those who had been shot. Those people couldn't survive. Life, Just lost it like this. Poor," the veteran said.

"You know to save your life." The soldier said.

"Don't know how to save your life. It's a fate. It's hard to tell. Look at how many people around you. I talked to you before, how about that night, take a gun. I saw that miserable thing." Said.

"Half of his head is gone. The blood, yellow, red, shed all over the ground." said the veteran.

at this time. The little soldier stopped his work. This is indeed the case, the military action that night. They all participated. All three of his friends, who played with him since childhood, participated. But a battle came down.

All three are gone. The first day was fine, talking and laughing. Said it was after the war and went home to marry a wife or something. But the next day, everyone died. And the corpses were gone. So many people were thrown into the big dirt pit. I can't find it anymore.

"How?" This time. Qi State soldier cried. Thinking about those people, he felt that this war was too cruel. They shouldn't have come to participate. What does this war have to do with them? He felt very wronged. painful.
