The astrologer also took out the wooden sign, pretended to be a ghost, and shouted: "The gods tell me, we will win this battle!"

"Bless the Sun God!"

The nobles around the king shouted, and the rest of the civilian soldiers followed suit.The shouts spread to both sides, and finally more than 1 people shouted collectively, which not only prevented the collapse, but also boosted morale.

"Boom boom boom!"

Three more shells came, and the sun god was obviously not blessed, and some unlucky ones were smashed to pieces.

"Kill across the river!"

Thousands of soldiers rushed to jump into the river, just swimming with bare hands.

Although they have shipbuilding technology, they can build some small boats.But the rivers here all run from east to west, but this time the troops were dispatched from south to north, so they did not bring ships at all.

On the other side of the river, there are only three cannons, and the ambush is all on the hillside here.

Among the woods on the hillside, Deng Youzhang held up the binoculars, observed for a long time, and said: "The enemy commander is over there, and there are about three or four thousand troops around. The whole army is leaning over to prepare to attack. Don't worry about other things, go directly to the enemy commander!"

When Deng Youzhang led his troops to move in the woods, the artillerymen on the other side clearly knew the exact location of the king.

All three cannons adjusted their direction and fired shells at the king.

The native soldiers who took the lead were still swimming in the river, and the third round of shelling had already begun.

One shot missed completely, another hit the little tribe, and another hit the King.

King Zahal was stunned. He saw his nephew's head smashed by a black object.This is not over yet, after his nephew's head exploded, the black thing continued to fly forward, breaking the arm of a clansman, and the thigh of a commoner...

Is it really Thor coming?

Zahal was trembling with fright, and subconsciously looked at the astrologer.

The astrologer was already dazed, he looked at the opposite bank foolishly, and then ran to look at the flying iron ball.

"Boom boom boom!"

It was another round of shooting. The astrologer who was studying the iron ball was cut in half by the shell.

King Zahal was so frightened that he fell to the ground. A shell flew over his head just now.Although he was not injured, the sound of howling piercing the air made his vest sweat profusely.

The army of more than 1 indigenous people is now in panic and bewilderment.

The troops ordered to cross the river were already swimming ashore.The tribe who stayed here didn't know what to do, and walked back and forth restlessly.

"Boom boom boom!"

This round of shelling was still aimed at the king's position.

Finally, some natives realized that something was wrong, and Thor's anger pointed at the king to release it.The king must have angered Thor, and he had to stay away from the king so that he would not be hurt by Chi Yu.

The native nobles took the lead and ran to both sides, wanting to get as far away from the king as possible, and some soldiers followed suit.

In a blink of an eye, only a few tens of meters away from the king, there were only more than 300 people left.

The aborigines who swam across the river have already begun to climb the mountain.The artillerymen did not dare to confront the enemy head-on, so they retreated after dropping the artillery, and hid in the dense forest on the top of the mountain to observe the situation.

Finally, some natives found the artillery, and they were all afraid to go forward.

After being stunned for a while, a warrior walked over and dared to touch the barrel.

"what!"

The native warrior screamed miserably, clutching his hands and wailing endlessly.

The rest of the aborigines were frightened and retreated a long distance away.After waiting for a while, nothing unusual was found, so he approached cautiously.

The native soldier touching the gun barrel had several blisters on his palm.

The natives looked at each other, thinking that this was the curse of Thor, and whoever dared to touch the weapon of Thor would lose his hands.

One by one, the natives knelt down before the three cannons and sincerely begged Thor's forgiveness.

Then, they backed away slowly, until they reached the river.Neither dared to move the artillery, nor dared to swim back, thousands of native soldiers just sat there quietly.

Several tribal leaders even got together to chat:

"The god of thunder here is the real god. The king has angered the gods. We can no longer help the king fight."

"Thor is a subordinate of the Sun God. Thor will not oppose the Sun God. The king must have been bewitched by the evil god. He believes in a false Sun God, so the Sun God sent him to punish him."

"Yes, the king must be believing in false gods. Since he became king, we have paid more and more food every year, and our people are starved to death every year. The sun god is merciful and will not let such people Be king."

"..."

King Zahal was roaring at the moment. He ordered his soldiers to come back, and they must defend themselves well, and they were not allowed to flee far away.

At this moment, Deng Youzhang's troops had come over, and carefully went downhill to kill the king.

The king also saw them, and hastily summoned the army.

More than 1000 native soldiers hurriedly assembled and raised their weapons towards the hillside.

Deng Youzhang has more than 300 soldiers under his command. In addition to the Han people, there are also indigenous people with bronze or wooden spears.

The natives were trembling, but no one retreated, because they firmly believed that they were blessed by Thor.

"Shut! Shout!"

The king's herald blew his whistle and ordered the tribal soldiers on both sides to rush over and annihilate the enemy. Ten thousand people can't just stand still.

The various tribes on both sides showed obvious hesitation, and dilly-dally gathered towards the king.

On the frontal battlefield, Deng Youzhang's soldiers had completely descended from the hillside.The front row is full of musketeers, with swords and shields guarding them, and the shields are simple wooden shields.The spearmen followed, and the native soldiers even further behind.

The two sides approached a little bit, and the enemy was already throwing stones.

It was a primitive stone catapult made of wooden sticks and ropes. If it hits the body, it will be bruised directly. If it hits the head, it is likely to pass out on the spot.

"Puff puff……"

Stones fell on the wooden shield one after another, and occasionally got hit by legs and feet.There was even a Han soldier who had his tibia cracked by a stone.

The two sides continued to approach, and the native spearmen were ready to throw their spears.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

A burst of gunfire rang out, and then gunpowder smoke rose, and the native soldiers facing each other fell down.

"Thor's weapon! Run!"

The native soldiers who were not shot turned around and fled in fright, thinking that the firecrackers could shoot continuously.The native nobles ran the fastest, completely ignoring the king, and ran in the direction they came, causing thousands of tribal soldiers to disperse together.

The tribal soldiers on the other side did not dare to go back the same way, so they jumped into the river to escape.

There are also some tribes, under the leadership of the leader, collectively kneel down and ask for surrender.

Damo didn't run away, nor did he kneel, but said to his tribe: "The king has failed, and Thor is the true god. Come with me to help Thor fight! Kill the king!"

If you kill the king, you don't have to hand in this year's tribute...

The king wanted to gather the rout, but no one was obedient, so he could only flee with the prince.

"Charge!"

"Go on the bayonet!"

The Han soldiers pointed at the king and chased after them, and the native soldiers they brought with them also started chasing and killing them with red eyes.

Chapter 750 [The end of the island owner's evolutionary history]

The king fled desperately, but Deng Youzhang chased him weakly.

There are too many enemies. Although they have all been defeated, they cannot be controlled by a few hundred people.They can only catch up and kill them, even if they kneel down on the ground, they don't dare to receive the surrendered soldiers, they just kill them and drive them away, so as not to block the narrow river valley passage.

The king probably had a good life, he was chubby and had a beer belly, and he was out of breath after running for a while.

Seeing the pursuers approaching, the prince didn't care much, left his father behind and ran faster.

A large number of rout soldiers swam across the river and fought on the other side of the river.Some tribes have feuds. After leaving the main battlefield, they take the opportunity to raid the hostile tribes and wipe out their young and strong main force.

Although it belongs to the patriarchal society, it also has the concept of family.However, vendettas and annexations were commonplace. As long as the captured women and children were not enslaved, they would basically not think about revenge, but let the flow flow and integrate into the new tribe.

At this moment, there were at least a thousand people fighting on the other side of the river, fighting in a mess there.

On the main battlefield, although Damo shouted to help Thor kill the king, he attacked the tribes close to the king.As long as this tribe is eliminated, Damo's tribe can take the opportunity to expand and seize more fertile river valleys.

On both sides of the river, fighting was going on everywhere, and the Han soldiers became supporting roles instead.

"Don't kill, catch alive!"

The king was too tired to run, so he threw away his weapons and sat there waiting to die.

As for the prince, he had long been mixed into the rout, and now he did not know where he fled.

"Don't chase, you won't be able to kill them all. Hurry up and receive the soldiers and prisoners," He Wenpeng said, "The most important thing is to capture the enemy's food and livestock!"

These indigenous marches are divided into tribes, and logistics are also in charge of each.Grain and livestock are everywhere, here and there, here and there.Deng Youzhang went to receive the prisoners first, and then asked the prisoners to be responsible for moving the food, and transported the scattered military food to one place for storage.

In this battle, more than 30 Han soldiers were injured, all of whom were stoned.One of them had a broken tibia.

And there are as many as six tribes who took the opportunity to defect.

Da Mo even led his clansmen to bow down: "Please let the messenger of Thunder God be our new king!"

Deng Youzhang didn't know the story of the enfeoffment of the Zhou family, but he already had similar thoughts at this time.These six tribes who voluntarily surrendered can be arranged in different places. When they lead troops to conquer the city, the territory of the six tribes will just defend the capital.

There were more than 3000 aborigines who were trapped behind and had no time to escape. At this time, they were all taken prisoner, waiting anxiously for their release.

"I understand," Li Luosheng approached Deng Youzhang. "These more than 3000 captives came from seven tribes. One of the tribes had a close relationship with the chieftain. He turned against the natives and asked to kill them or reward them as slaves."

Deng Youzhang said: "Since the relationship with the king is close, let's kill them all. We are going to attack the city next, and take prisoners with impure thoughts. God knows if there will be a rebellion at a critical moment."

"Siege?" Li Luosheng asked in confusion.

Deng Youzhang said: "Taking advantage of the enemy's retreat, hurry to attack the city. The land there is fertile, and it is at the mouth of the sea. It will be more convenient for development and expansion, or for shipbuilding and navigation. Two-thirds of the Han people, with two-thirds The aborigines migrated to the city to develop. The remaining one-third will stay here for the time being."

It is to lay down the city as the main base, and Leishen Village will be left as a sub-mine.

Bing is expensive and fast, and the troops will be dispatched the next day.

From the time they came to the island to the present, two Han people have died, both of whom died of malaria.

In the dispatch of troops this time, those with a broken calf were left behind, and more than 20 injured were also left behind.The rest of the Han people, together with their family members and two-thirds of the aborigines, packed their bags and rushed to the city together.

The six defected tribes, about 2600 people, and more than 2800 captives, all went out together.

Those captives have been promised.As long as the city can be conquered, not only will they be given freedom, but their tribe will also be treated kindly.

In this way, there will be six thousand troops!

It's not particularly outrageous. When the Spanish colonists attacked the Aztec Empire, there were one or two hundred Spaniards and tens of thousands of indigenous coalition troops to fight.

Along the way to the south, I encountered a tribe on the way, and the accompanying indigenous servant army suddenly had more than 300 people crying loudly.

But it was a disbanded army. Since they had no food, they could only rob the tribes they encountered along the way.The robbed will of course resist, so war broke out, and more than 300 weeping servants came from this looted tribe.

Li Luosheng took the opportunity to say to the natives: "The misery encountered here is all because the king was too cruel and insisted on launching wrong wars regardless of the ideas of the tribes. Although the king was captured, the prince was still alive. Only by killing the prince, you Only by revenge can we avoid this kind of thing from happening again in the future!"

When the natives heard it, it was indeed the truth.

They were living in Ansheng, but the king insisted on gathering troops to fight, and asked them to bring their own food.It's good now, all the food belongs to Thunder God's Department, and everyone will be hungry in the future.

The more the natives thought about it, the angrier they became. They don't resent the Han people, they only resent the king who started the war.

Continuing to march south, we encountered a few more tribes, almost all of which were looted by the rout, and the surviving tribesmen looked blankly at the passing army.In one of the tribes, the soldiers had returned, and there seemed to be fighting, and there were corpses everywhere outside the village.

The soldiers of this tribe were also taken by Deng Youzhang. Anyway, there were complaints and revenge.

After marching for nearly a month, they finally approached the city.

This is the seat of the Ministry of Boyna, also known as "Boyna Town".

In this alluvial plain, the water network is extremely complex.

There is a big river rushing forward, and when it is about to enter the sea, it splits into a main stream and four tributaries.There is also a small river in the north and south, which flows into these water networks and enters the sea.

Between the water network, there is a fertile alluvial zone.

Not only is the grain output higher, but the arable area is countless times that of Leishen Village.

In addition to commoners, there are also many slaves who have farmed for nobles for generations.

The city of Boyna is located at the confluence of the main stream of the great river and the small northern river.Not only is it surrounded by water on three sides, but also in the direction of the sea, there are also abruptly raised mountains, which extend all the way to the sea.

Easy to defend and difficult to attack!
