Turbulent Times Chapter 1641: This is too bullying

Wuman and Baiman are mainly distributed in the southwest of Sichuan and Sichuan. Like the Yi barbarians in the Bashu area, taking advantage of the chaos of the Sui Dynasty in the past few years and no one to suppress them, the forces of Wuman and Baiman have developed rapidly, even from the mountains. came out and occupied some towns that were originally Han people.

However, last year, Liang Guoxiao sent a large army to attack Wuman and Baiman, trying to force the two tribes to submit to him.

After several battles, the Wuman tribe and the White man tribe were defeated one after another, but their fates were different.

The Wuman tribe chose to submit to the Liang State, but because their patriarch was killed by the Liang State people on the battlefield, the Baiman tribe swore not to submit to the death, and were forced to move to the ancestral land of the Baiman tribe, where they fought guerrilla warfare with the Liang State people. not good.

After some discussion, Bai Xiaobo and Huang Shaoqiu decided that it would be safer to find a place to stay as a base behind the enemy line as there was no supply of food and grass in the rear.

Adhering to the principle that an enemy's enemy is an ally, they set their foothold on the Baiman ancestral land.

Because it is inconvenient to march on a large ship, and there are too many people, he is worried about frightening the White Barbarians, so Huang Shaoqiu asked Bai Xiaobo to lead a thousand sailors to take a small boat and bring some gifts to the White Barbarians.

It's just that this thousand sailors were suddenly attacked after entering a diversion channel of the Yangtze River.

Even though the fifty ships brought by Bai Xiaobo were the smallest in the seal battalion, they were still huge in front of the bamboo rafts that attacked them.

However, it was these simple bamboo rafts that were turned into the sharpest weapons by the people who manipulated them. For a while, it seemed that they caused a lot of trouble for Bai Xiaobo and his party.

More than one hundred bamboo rafts suddenly rushed out of the dense aquatic plants, and crashed into fifty ships of the seal battalion like sharp arrows, like a large group of wolves pounced on a tiger and gnawed on it.

Bai Xiaobo was startled but not confused, and the 1,000 soldiers of the Seal Battalion below were not the least bit nervous, and all of them were grinning ferociously, their crossbows were fast-stringed in their hands, and their steel knives were in their hands, ready to fight.

However, when the bamboo rafts got close, Bai Xiaobo and others were surprised.

There was no one on the bamboo raft, but the bamboo raft flew towards them.

"The enemy is under the water, prepare for close combat." Without Bai Xiaobo's order, no soldier shot the water surface near the bamboo raft with a quick crossbow to kill the enemy below.

Bai Xiaobo didn't give such an order either, because he couldn't see the people under the water clearly, so the accuracy of shooting rashly would definitely be greatly reduced and the arrows would be wasted.

You must know that when they dispatched troops this time, they did not have the supplementary weapons and equipment of the engineering and supply battalion. The provincial ones should be used sparingly, especially when they are fired into the water, it is too difficult to recover them afterwards.

As for bombing these bamboo rafts with hand grenades, or using the small catapult on the boat to attack, Bai Xiaobo didn't want to waste it.

Of course, this is an expression of confidence in one's own combat power.

After all, any act of saving weapons and equipment is not fatal.

Just like that, Bai Xiaobo led a thousand soldiers of the Seal Battalion, as if they didn't notice the enemy's attack, they didn't react at all.

The enemies under the water hid their bodies under the bamboo raft according to the blood lessons they had learned in the past, but they never received any attacks. This method is frightening.

I don’t know how the people under the bamboo raft did it. The speed of the bamboo raft is astonishingly fast, even Sun Yang’s swimming is not so fast, okay?

After ten breaths, nearly two hundred bamboo rafts collided with the fifty ships of the Seal Battalion, and it happened that each warship was hit by almost four bamboo rafts.

It's just that the result of the collision once again disappointed the enemies under the bamboo raft.

In the past, when they used this attack method, the enemy's ship basically fell apart. Even if it did not fall apart, the ship would be knocked backwards, and the people on it would fall into the water and be easily killed by them in the water.

However, there were only a few loud noises today, and then their bamboo rafts were all smashed to pieces by the rebounding force, and the hit ship only swayed for a while before returning to calm.

The most important thing is that the ship that was hit was intact.

Nearly 2,000 strong warriors who looked like they were not Han Chinese showed their heads from under the disintegrated bamboo rafts. Then they yelled and swam frantically, rushing towards the ship in front of them.

"It's a barbarian, but I don't know if it's a white barbarian or a Wuman." Bai Xiaobo frowned slightly. It doesn't matter whether it is a white barbarian or a Wuman who attacked them at this time.

It's not that Bai Xiaobo is afraid that he won't be able to defeat him.

On the contrary, if it is a white barbarian, this battle may cause misunderstanding, which is not conducive to future cooperation.

And if it was the Wuman who came, it meant that Xiao Ju might have sensed their intention and sent the Wuman to stop it.

The current situation does not allow Bai Xiaobo to think too much, because on average, there are exactly fifty barbarians around each boat, using both hands and feet, holding various sharp knives in their mouths, and climbing like monkeys On the ship of the Shanghai Leopard Battalion, the intention is to fight hand-to-hand with the soldiers of the Seal Battalion above.

"Pass down the order, kill half and keep half of the captives." Bai Xiaobo's frowning brows relaxed, his expression was calm, and he ordered lightly.

The orderly next to him immediately picked up a unique trumpet, puffed up his cheeks and blew it hard.

The rhythm of the trumpet sound was very clear and easy to distinguish, so the captains and soldiers on the other forty-nine warships immediately understood Bai Xiaobo's order.

These barbarian warriors naturally didn't know what the horn sound meant. After climbing the battleship and feeling the warship in front of them at close range, they became more excited and excited, and many of them even looked amazed.

Their clan is not limited to such crude bamboo rafts, they also have boats, but they found that the best boats in their clan are **** compared to the boats in front of them.

This boat is not made of wood, but something like iron, and it is smooth and smooth.

Why do they feel like iron, because they don't know what metal is, let alone what steel plate is.

In the eyes of Bai Xiaobo and the thousand soldiers of the Seal Battalion, these barbarians seem to be very familiar with the road. Obviously these barbarians have done this kind of thing before, and seeing the excited expressions of these barbarian warriors, they used to It went very smoothly this way.

"It's just that you guys really kicked the steel plate this time." Bai Xiaobo suddenly felt that this was very interesting, because he remembered that on Snake Island, the witch-like chief instructor said a word: Equip yourself with weapons. advantage to bully the enemy

People.

In front of him, Bai Xiaobo felt that they were bullying others.

The battle that followed was a battle between each captain leading twenty soldiers and forty barbarian warriors. The general Bai Xiaobo no longer needed to personally command the battle.

The battle process patterns on the fifty battleships are very unified and similar.

When the barbarian warriors climbed up excitedly, the fifty captains still did not order to fire the arrows, because this would cause the barbarian warriors to fall into the water with the arrows, and it would be difficult to recover the arrows when they turned around.

So just like that, the soldiers of the Seal Battalion on the fifty warships waited for all the forty barbarian warriors in front of them to board the ship with indifferent smiles on their faces, and then released a wave of crossbow arrows at the captain's order. One-third of them were shot dead on the spot, and then 20 people lined up in a small battle formation to fight the remaining barbarian warriors in melee, and they all pushed them to the middle of the deck in a very unified manner to prevent them from jumping off the ship. escape.

The next step is simple. The small battle formation formed by twenty soldiers of the Seal Battalion is like a strangling machine, easily killing the barbarian warriors one by one.

The barbarian warriors changed from excitement at the beginning to solemnity, then to inconceivable horror, and finally to despair.

When the remaining half of the barbarian warriors were dead, they tried to escape by diving, but found that they had been blocked from diving.

The fifty captains did not forget Bai Xiaobo's order, and immediately began to persuade them to surrender.

These barbarian warriors surrendered immediately without any scruples about self-esteem and integrity, showing extra respect for life and simplicity of the jungle.

If you can't fight, you will die if you fight. If you don't surrender, you are stupid!

"Let all battleships report the battle results." Seeing that there were no more screams and fighting sounds, Bai Xiaobo ordered lightly.

The two orderlies next to him transmitted his orders to the fifty battleships with flags and horns, visually and audibly.

Soon, the fifty battleships first signaled through the sound of their horns, and then reported their battle results with more complicated semaphore.

Beside Bai Xiaobo, a councilor led four soldiers to translate the semaphore on each battleship into specific content as quickly as possible, and summarized them.

"Report to the general, in this battle, we killed 47 people, injured 19 people, killed 1059 people, and captured 941 people." The councilor came to Bai Xiaobo report.

Bai Xiaobo nodded, and then ordered: "Record the battle results and battle damage of each battleship clearly, and there must be no mistakes in calculating the battle achievements afterwards."

The young councilor, who was about the same age as Bai Xiaobo and only graduated from Fanyang College a year later than Bai Xiaobo, quickly said yes respectfully.

At this time, the captain of the main ship came to report to Bai Xiaobo: "General, I have already asked. The person who came is from the Wuman tribe, but the specific information needs to be further interrogated."

"Wuman people?" Bai Xiaobo frowned, and then ordered: "It seems that our intentions have been known by Xiao Ju, these Wuman people should be forced by Xiao Ju."

Bai Xiaobo took out the map, found the location of the Wuman tribe, looked at it for a while, his eyes lit up, and said: "Let the warships throw all the corpses into the water, and then let them torture their captives. Summarize the information obtained through torture."
