"Eunuch Wei is here, it's Eunuch Wei is here!"

The Imperial Army officers and soldiers who were grouping with a team to carry out the search for Pingpu people had collectively cheered.

Accompanied by the cheers of the officers and soldiers, Eunuch Wei, who was leaning on sugarcane in one hand and shortbing musket in the other, wearing a bullfighting uniform and a red cloak on his shoulder, came to a mountain surrounded by many personal guards.

According to Thangka and others, Aganon may have hid in front with the remaining tribe members. The Taiwanese Volunteers and Public Security Team found signs of human activities in this area, so it can basically be judged that Aganon and others who had been searching for three days were in this area.

"Father-in-law, this place is too dangerous. You can't stay here. Please go down the mountain immediately!"

Xu Xing, the captain of the First Infantry Brigade, was both excited and uneasy about Eunuch Wei's arrival. Because it was too close to the savages hiding Pingpu. If there were savages hiding around and not being discovered, Eunuch Wei would be in danger.

"Our son can face danger, but our family can't face danger!"

Eunuch Wei waved his hand and pinned the short-handled musket on his belt, looking at the dense forest ahead with a sensual look.

Xu Xing said: "Dadfather-in-law, Thangka and the others said that Aganon and others must be there!"

"How many savages are there?"

"About six hundred to seven hundred."

The numbers given by Xu Xing were given based on the situation of the Pingpu people explained by Thangka, and they were relatively accurate. Compared with the nearly 4,000 people that the Pingpu people had before, the Pingpu people can be said to be 80% less. If the other party was an army, then it was obvious that they had completely defeated.

However, the problem is that the Pingpu people are not the army, their resistance is very firm, and the use of the familiar dense forest terrain has brought a lot of trouble to the encirclement of the Imperial Army. Moreover, the remaining Pingpu people are mainly young and strong men, and most of their elderly, weak, women and children have been "abandoned". Without the drag of the elderly, weak, women and children, these young and strong men can support them until now.

Eunuch Wei nodded. He believed in Xu Xing's figures. After all, he saw many Pingpu women and children hanging themselves or committing suicide by jumping into the pond. Roughly speaking, the Pingpu people may really be left with men.

"Tell the Taiwan Volunteers and the public security teams in various townships that today is the last battle against the Pingpu savages. Our family does not want anyone among them to betray the Imperial Army!"

My father-in-law's eyes were filled with fierce light. This sentence was for the "familiar" of the security team, rather than for the volunteers of Thangka.

My father-in-law must not be unpredictable. Although the Taiwan Volunteer Army cooperated with the Imperial Army to launch a clearance against Aganon in the past few days, some signs indicate that not every Taiwan Volunteer Army is willing to help the Imperial Army. Especially when more and more women and children in Pingpu commit suicide, this sign is spreading and expanding.

My father-in-law himself understood this phenomenon, but he could not accept it. Therefore, he had to warn the Taiwan Volunteer Army that any of them had done something to betray the Imperial Army, and the consequences were that all the women and children in Pingpu at the foot of the mountain would die.

This means that if one person rebells, the whole family will be killed.

My father-in-law hopes that this strict order will allow the Taiwan Volunteers to supervise each other. Deep down, he still recognizes these brave men. The moment they walked down the mountain, it shows that they are worth saving.

"Each force must continue to work hard, tightly encircle, tightly hold the iron barrel, and no bird is allowed to fly away from their defense!"

After finishing his talk, my father-in-law bit a piece of sugar cane and ordered Xu Xing to organize troops to narrow the encirclement immediately without having to serve him.

At noon, a group of people from the Taiwan Volunteer Army discovered their tribe. The two sides launched a close fight. The first squadron of the Imperial Army infantry that arrived quickly surrounded them. In the end, the Pingpu savages retreated, leaving more than 30 bodies.

The First Infantry Squadron and the Taiwanese Volunteers followed the retreating Pingpu Savages, half an hour later, finally found their hiding place.

Countless sharp whistles suddenly sounded in the jungle, and smoke bombs hit the sky one by one. Two thousand imperial officers and soldiers and hundreds of Taiwanese volunteers, the security team surrounded them from all directions. The remaining Pingpu people were compressed step by step, and in the end, they were surrounded on a cliff less than three or four miles in radius.

When he heard that he had surrounded the savages of Pingpu, Eunuch Wei was overjoyed. He ignored the high mountains and dense forests and insisted on going to the top of the mountain to make the final persuasion to the Pingpu people.

This is a humanized manifestation of the father-in-law. The Pingpu war has lasted for nearly a month, and the imperial army has suffered more than 100 casualties. Seeing that victory is in sight, the father-in-law does not want the officers and soldiers to have any unnecessary casualties.

Although these Pingpu savages were incompatible with civilized society and were very savage and cruel, if they could be marshalled and used for expeditions to Japan, they would be a group of qualified cannon fodder.

Historically, didn’t the Japanese like to use these two Japanese?

My father-in-law is also using his own way to do this. There are hundreds of thousands of people on the island of Pingpu. If he is killed blindly, it will be impossible to end the pacification of Taiwan in a short time. Therefore, equal emphasis on suppression and appeasement is an inevitable means.

My father-in-law hopes that Aganon can understand the overall situation and stop making unnecessary resistance. As long as he is willing to put down his weapons and surrender, his father-in-law can give him a chance.

On the way up the mountain, you can hear the sound of guns on the top from time to time. I think the officers and soldiers are fighting with the savages who are about to break through.

"Quick, hurry!"

My father-in-law used his hands and feet, and the sugar cane in his hand had been bitten by him, so he couldn't use it as a crutch. In addition, the hillside began to be steep, so my father-in-law had to pull and climb. Fortunately, there were always loyal guards holding his buttocks below, which made my father-in-law climb very fast, but not very easy.

The few days of escape made Aganon and the remaining tribe members hungry and tired. Most of them had completely overdrawn their strength and energy. They wanted to lie on the ground and sleep for a while, but the Han army, like poisonous snakes, always appeared when they were just breathing.

The young Ketu no longer remembers when he had eaten last time. His hungry eyes were a little blurred. Naru took two fruits that he picked from somewhere and handed them to Ketu. Ketu hurriedly grabbed them and stuffed them into his mouth and swallowed them.

However, the two fruits could not fill their stomachs at all, which instead caused the nearly numb stomach to have a more intense hunger reaction.

However, they had no food, so they could only grit their teeth and endure the feeling of hunger coming from their stomachs.

There was a Han army approaching in the distance, and from time to time you could hear iron gunshots and the screams of the tribe members. Ketu and Naru were already numb to this. They didn't even know where the heads were. They just wanted to meet the traitor of Thangka, and then shoot him to death with an arrow, cut off his head and offer sacrifices to the ancestor spirit!

If it weren't for the traitor of Thangka, the tribesmen would not have been beaten so badly by the Han army, and their grandmother and mother would not have been hanged in the jungle!

Everything is because of a damn traitor!

Ketu vowed to kill Thangka, and for this reason he and Naru kept hiding in the trees and allowed two Han troops to pass by them.

They don't want to alert the enemy because they only have one chance.

Unfortunately, Thangka was obviously not in this area, so Ketu and Naru could never take revenge. They wanted to go back to find the leader, but their way was stuck by the Han army that had passed. In desperation, they could only continue to hide here.

After another Han army with a few dozen people passed by carefully carrying muskets, Na Lu finally decided to give up ward here. He wanted to take Ketu to find the heads and the others, and then fight to the death with the Han army. Even if he couldn't find the heads, he would fight to the death with the Han people.

If he hid it, he and Ketu would have no strength.

Just as he was about to reach out to greet Ketu, Nalu saw a group of Han troops approaching the slope, which looked like a large number of people, with hundreds of people. One of the officers wore clothes that were obviously different from other Han officers, and they looked very conspicuous. The soldiers were also very respectful to the Han people, and it was obvious during the march that the soldiers were protecting this person.

"Ketu, shoot that Han official!"

Na Lu believed that the guy with bright clothes must be a high-ranking official of the Han army because the soldiers were carrying his butt.

If it weren't for an official, who would have done this?

Ketu said "um" and silently moved the bamboo arrow from the edge to the front little by little. His archery skills are very good, and he is the best archer in the young generation of the clan. Even if he is hungry now, as long as the Han official approaches, he is still confident that he will shoot him to death.

Ketu was a little excited. The heads on the top of the mountain were fighting with the Han army. If he could shoot this Han official to death, the Han army might be able to retreat.

Na Lu also had this idea. He was worried that Ketu would not hit the shot, so he signaled him not to worry and wait until the Han official walked closer.

The two of them just lay on the branches, looking down motionlessly, their heartbeats very quickly, as if they could come out of their throats anytime and anywhere.

Finally, the Han official climbed up with the help of the guards, only two or three feet away from Ketu on the tree.

Maybe he was tired and sweating, the Han official stopped and took a few breaths, then looked up around, and as he looked, he looked over his head.

His face looks young.

"shoot!"

Na Lu slapped Ketu suddenly, and Ketu immediately stood up and used all his strength to shoot the arrow at the Han official.

He had a hundred confidence that this arrow would definitely shoot the Han official through, even if it was an arrow made of bamboo!

But what Ketu didn't expect happened. Just as his arrow branch was just off the string, the Han official suddenly turned around and bent down to look at his legs.

Immediately afterwards, the Han official fell to the ground with a "splash". The guards around him rushed up and surrounded the official, and more than a dozen muskets were fired towards Ketu and the others. Dozens of soldiers were crazy and rushed to the tree where Ketu and the others were hiding.

With the sound of the gun, Ketu, who was standing up, was hit and fell to the ground, and fell heavily on the ground with a "thump". Before he lost consciousness, he seemed to hear what the Han official was calling.

Isn't this man dead?

Ketu was a little regretful, but he never had the chance to get him to make up for the arrow.

"What a panic? Our family is not dead! For His Majesty, what's the point of hitting a shot in the butt!"
