The Pingpu people, who were completely unprotected, could only scream and wail under the volley of the Imperial Army's dense projectiles. Even if they were ready to sacrifice, the Pingpu people holding bamboo spears and bamboo arrows could not throw their weapons into the opponent's array at all.

Nika and Rodao heard the sound of the sea gong, which was the patriarch Aganon asking them to withdraw quickly. In fact, even if Aganon did not make someone blow the sea gong, Nika and Rodao could no longer charge towards the Han army without fear of death.

The other party was a real Ming Dynasty officer and soldier, not the Han immigrants who dared not provoke them!

Rodao retreated one after another, and shouted to ask Nika and the others to leave quickly, because the Han army had rushed up.

"bayonet!"

Kumamoto Kojiro's command knife was erected forward, and 180 officers and soldiers of the First Squadron immediately put a dagger with a round hole at the end and a sharp knife at the top on the musket.

The weapon of this type of dagger but longer is called bayonets, which was named by Eunuch Wei himself. Although bayonets are very easy to break and uncontain in actual combat, and many of them are often "disposable" equipment, the bayonets have great lethality and have become fixed equipment for the Imperial Army.

The Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is developing bayonets that can be welded at gunpoints, folded, and not easily broken. It is ridge-shaped and has three-sided bayonets. It is said that this bayonet is a counterfeit of the ancient weapons, with greater power. Once the enemy is stabbed, there is absolutely no hope of survival. Unfortunately, due to limited technology, the development of ridge-shaped bayonets has not yet made a breakthrough, so the military is still equipped with this "disposable" bayonets.

"For the sake of the Emperor's Ming, move forward!"

The flag of "Wind Forest Volcano" jumped forward, and 180 imperial officers and soldiers with pig head spirit rushed towards the Pingpu people with fearless and resolute attitude.

The Pingpu people, who were already stunned by the opponent's iron spear, were suddenly overwhelmed by the momentum of the Imperial Army. The horror broke out in an instant. Everyone turned around and ran away. The warriors in the Nika tribe were also running and running in the front.

Soon, the battlefield was overturned. In front were the Pingpu people who were fleeing in a hurry, and behind were the brave and straight forward imperial officers and soldiers.

Compared with Nika and the others who went to lure the enemy, Aganon was more calm. Although the combat effectiveness of the Han army exceeded his imagination and Nika and the others suffered heavy losses, his goal was also achieved - the Han army was being lured to the hunting ground.

There, the jungle will be the burial place for these outsiders!

However, one thing made Aganon very worried. The women and children who were moving to the hunting ground in the southeast were in trouble, and a Han army was chasing them through the village.

The tribe members who organized the transfer tried to block the Han army, but after dozens of casualties, they had to give up resisting and pin their hopes on women and children who could run faster.

"Give the third-class merit to Captain Kumamoto once!"

The officers and soldiers of his own bravely moved forward, and they won the battlefield instantly. The savages of Shengfan fled in a panic. The scene in the Qianli Mile Mile made the Ninth Grand Master very happy, and he couldn't wait to summon the commander to his nephew and great-grandson, dictated the good news he gave to his nephew and great-grandson - "On the day of Yimao, the east wind, the rain."

"East wind, rain" is the system of the base camp for winning. Any department that reports "East wind, rain" means great victory.

"Send the order, the First Regiment and the Brigade Guards are all put into battle, well," Master Ninth looked up at the sun, "The battle ended before dark!"

After saying that, the Ninth Master threw the big cigarette puff to his nephew Wei Dayuan, "Let's go and see what treasures are in Pingpu's nest. Just take whatever you like, and the Sixth Master will reward you!"

"Thank you Mr. Six!"

Wei Dayuan was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth. After all, it was his own uncle, so he didn't say anything!

...........

The pursuit of the First Infantry Battalion was huge. The performance of the first squadron rushing in front made the captain Xu Xing very satisfied. The savages who were already strayed as dogs were killed by the pig heads of the First squadron. From time to time, you can see savages stabbed by bayonets lying or lying, allowing blood to gush out of their bodies.

The performance of the more than 100 recruits added by the First Brigade is also remarkable. Although they only received brief training before the war, had no practical experience, let alone killing enemies on the battlefield, under the leadership and infection of veterans, the recruits also seemed brave. A Kunshan soldier named Tao Dayi even killed two savages. Before that, this guy had never even killed a chicken.

Overall, the recruits seemed a little bit second, but this time was not the combat skills or training, but the killing. They obviously did not have the fierceness of the veterans who killed them all.

However, Xu Xing was already quite satisfied. Who among the soldiers was born to kill people?

The commander of the brigade was delivered quickly. Xu Xing did not think the commander of the brigade was too optimistic. He also believed that the battle would end before dark because the savages were really unbearable.

Before the war, the security team members said the Pingpu savages so fiercely. Now it seems that in the words of Eunuch Wei, they are all a group of paper tigers. In the past, the Pingpu people were fierce because their enemies were too weak!

In the southeast direction of the front, more than a dozen escaped Pingpufans were surrounded by the first squadron. The Imperial Army had the tradition of preferential treatment of prisoners, so the team leader tried to persuade these savages to surrender. However, these savages were unwilling to surrender, but instead threw the bamboo spear in their hands towards the Imperial Army.

The team leader was furious and immediately ordered the gun to strike. After the gun sound, the team leader rushed forward with a knife, cut off the neck of a Pingpu man who was standing with a knife, and then a huge roar of tigers, cutting off the head of the Pingpu man who was hanging down.

The same scene was staged on the battlefield of several miles. Except for a few Pingpu people who looked like scythes who escaped into the southeastern forest, the rest of Pingpu people were basically wiped out.

In order to expand the results of the battle and quickly end the battle, Xu Xing ordered his three squadrons to ignore the scattered enemies and concentrate on pursuing the Pingpu people in the forest, and be sure to eliminate all the savages who dared not to obey the power of the imperial army.

However, the captain Kumamoto seemed to hesitate, and he said to Xu Xing: "Your Excellency, the savage seems to have deliberately tried to lure us into the forest!"

"Um?"

Xu Xing frowned when he heard this, and raised his eyes to look at the dense forest in front of him. From a distance, he could not see the edge at first. The forest was covered with towering trees, and you could vaguely see Pingpu people appearing in the forest.

There are many military tactics, so don’t enter the forest!

Xu Xing also hesitated, and to be on the safe side, he quickly sent someone to inform the brigade headquarters of the situation.

"What strategy can the savages have? Even if they really ambush the trap in this forest, can they still defeat my heroic imperial army!"

The Ninth Master believed that in the face of absolute strength, the savages could not make a monster. He was determined to expand the results of the battle and kill more than a thousand levels. Otherwise, the "East Wind and Rain" that would be repaid to his nephew and great-grandson would be a bit inconsistent with the name and suspected of lying about military affairs.

Chief of Staff Lu Jianrong suggested sending a squadron into the forest to investigate first, and if it is found that something is wrong, withdraw in time and then discuss.

"Is our First Brigade still comparable to those red deer in the Shanghai Army?"

The Ninth Master was very unhappy. This was the first battle he directed directly. He could not give up halfway, otherwise it would have been heard by Guo Qilaizi, saying that the First Brigade had called Shulinzi to scare him, where would his old master be famous for his lifetime?

At this time, a situation further strengthened the confidence of the Ninth Master. The captain of the regiment Ma Wenqing came to report that he led his troops to capture hundreds of women and children of Pingpu savages, and the rest were so scared that they ran away in the woods.

"They can't even control women and children, and they don't even need houses and property. What does it mean? It means they were completely defeated by my First Brigade! Everyone, the glory of the First Brigade cannot be defiled!"

At the order of the Ninth Master, the officers and soldiers of the brigade quickly gathered into the mountain.

However, the facts quickly proved that the Ninth Master was wrong. The savage was beaten and fled in a hurry, but there was really an ambush in the dense forest.

As the vanguard of the brigade, the first infantry squadron was first attacked by the savages who were ambushing in the forest. Those savages performed completely differently from the plains just now. They either hid in the grass high in the crowd or climbed up trees, and accidentally attacked the imperial army officers and soldiers with bamboo spears and arrows. Moreover, after the sneak attack, these savages quickly moved to the place, causing the revengeful gun strikes of the imperial army to often fail.

The other troops also suffered the same situation. Within an hour, the Imperial Army made slow progress. Not only was it difficult to find a large number of enemies, but it was even gradually confused in which direction it was in. In the end, they could only judge whether the surrounding troops were based on the whistle.

The officers and soldiers of the First Squadron gradually felt overwhelmed. After entering the forest, they only killed more than a dozen savages, but their own casualties reached six. In the previous plain battle, the officers and soldiers of the First Squadron never died in battle.

Before the sun set, the First Brigade actually killed 56 people and 84 wounded. This situation was soon reported to the brigade headquarters.

"Your Excellency, the dense forests make it impossible for our troops to unfold, and it is even more difficult to search for savages. However, savages can use the dense forests to kill and injure our officers and soldiers in large quantities. I suggest that all units withdraw immediately, block the main imports and exports of mountains and forests, and force them to surrender!"

As the chief of staff, Lu Jianrong must fulfill his obligations and the battle cannot continue. Otherwise, for the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade, it will be a process of continuous bloodletting.

The Ninth Master finally woke up. He agreed with Lu Jianrong's suggestion to withdraw his troops and put the latter in charge.

Subsequently, under the arrangement of Lu Jianrong, the troops successively withdrew from the forest, and two squadron officers and soldiers blocked the two main entrances and exits of the forest. The remaining troops retreated into the villages of Pingpu people to rest and search for supplies.

The captured women and children were placed in the southwest of the village. Lu Jianrong secretly deployed two squadrons to hide in this area. Unfortunately, the savage did not come to save these women and children that night, otherwise they would have achieved great results.

A few days later, the First Brigade tried several methods to force the Pingpu people hidden in the mountains and forests, but none of them succeeded and could only continue to blockade.

At the same time, Lu Jianrong suggested reporting the true situation of the First Brigade to the base camp, but the Ninth Master said that the First Brigade did not suffer much loss and there was no need to report it. The Ninth Master believed that the savage went up the mountain in a hurry and did not carry much food at all, so as long as the First Brigade continued to blockade, the savage was eventually forced out.

But the Ninth Master didn't know how many days it would be blocked. He really hated the savages now. Do you think these savages can't come out and die? They insisted on hiding with him, which made him feel very bad.

After a few days, there was still no progress. The savage seemed to disappear into the mountains and forests, and the few reconnaissance teams sent in did not find the savage.

As time passed, the First Brigade was a little overwhelmed because there was not much food in the villages of Pingpu people.

Lu Jianrong estimated that if the Pingpu people still did not go down the mountain for up to ten days, the First Brigade would have to lift the blockade and retreat, otherwise all the officers and soldiers of the brigade would have to go hungry.

A plague also broke out in the army. Fortunately, he brought a lot of herbs with the army. The plague did not spread, but it also affected the morale of the army.

All signs indicate that the first battle of the First Brigade is likely to be a slight start.

Just as the Ninth Master and the brigade officers were discussing how to solve the problem of food shortage, there were suddenly sounds of gongs and drums outside the village, and then soldiers came to report that the military supervisor Eunuch Wei heard about the victory, so he came from Chiayi to celebrate the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade.
