Chapter 1183 Undead Army
The ship docks.
Jia Wu landed first with his team of mounted policemen. The tall horses were also covered with cotton armor with tiger and leopard patterns painted on them, which was extremely ferocious.
The knights once fought against Heman in Juding, and they were still employed by the queen in Linyi. They were veterans who had fought **** battles with Chenla in the jungle. These mounted policemen were all tough. They are nicknamed the Undead Army, or Undead Knights.
On the boat, the Qin family's new cotton armor has been neatly dressed. These cotton armors are worn like clothes, with a cloth cover on the outside, a thin sheet made of double cotton on the inside, and a thin iron armor in the middle. Connected with copper nails and nails, compared with traditional iron armor, a set only weighs 20 to 30 kilograms, and the light and thin ones are even less than 20 kilograms, but the protection ability is not weak at all.
It also has some functions of anti-rust, anti-heat and heat, and severe cold.
These cotton shells are dyed red, very bright, making them look like cooked red shrimp.
Bucklers, lances, sabers, horn bows, mounted policemen armed to the teeth quickly lined up at the pier.
Jia Wu brought a hundred mounted policemen, all veterans.
As soon as several rows of people and horses were spread out, they were immediately full of coercion and murderous aura.
"Who is the village chief?"
Gu Ma Cilang’s scalp is numb, because there are no horses among the local species on the island, even the big island opposite Luzon did not produce horses before, only some that were brought over by businessmen from the Central Plains, and most of them degenerated and became very short.
This situation is quite normal, just like the Central Plains region does not produce horses, horses are generally produced in grassland areas, such as the grassland outside the Great Wall, or the oasis pastures in the Western Regions, or the southwest plateau Those mountain grassland dams.
There are many alpine grasslands in the southwest, which also produce horses, but the horses in the southwest are very short.
In areas such as Japan and Luzon, there is no horse production, and a small number of horses are transported from the mainland. Because of the small number, it is difficult for these horses to form their own local ethnic groups. Most of them have degenerated and dwarfed later, lacking sufficient numbers and The cultivation of the system.
The island of Mindoro is more closed, and even the native buffaloes here have degenerated into dwarf buffaloes. Usually, the warriors of Maye Barangay use small buffaloes as mounts, pigs as mounts, and deer as mounts. They feel very majestic.
But now seeing these hundred knights, they are like tigers and horses like dragons, especially when they are fully armed and so close.
Gu Ma Cilang almost shook his legs.
He who claims to be brave is also very old after all, and compared with Tang Ren, he is dark and thin. Standing barefoot in front of Tang Ren, he looks like a savage.
The translator brought by Jia Wu asked the question again.
"I am Datugu Macilang from Maye Barangay..."
"Go and talk in your village!"
Jia Wu said bluntly on the horse.
Shan Sili wanted to take this village and kill others to make an example, but he didn't say how to take it. Jia Wu is not the kind of fledgling who has never been to battle. Of course, he is sure to do it directly at the pier, but the village behind also has fortifications such as fences and archery towers, so there will definitely be troubles.
It's better to talk about advanced villages.
Gu Ma Cilang's legs were also full of ghosts. He was thinking about how to lure these Tang people into the village, but he didn't expect the Tang people to mention it on his own initiative, so he hurriedly led the way, his heart was beating, and he turned his head from time to time. Looking at those shining lances, sabers, those exquisite horn bows, etc., all of them were jealous.
Not only frightened him, but also made him jealous and greedy.
There are also the three big ships parked at the pier. If he can get one, it will surpass his entire previous fleet.
These horses are really tall, and even the horses are also wearing armor. These Qin people are really extravagant.
"Go back and tell the village to prepare for the reception and kill more buffaloes!" Gu Macilang said loudly to the soldiers, telling him to go back and report.
Jia Wu was riding on a horse, staring down at these Kunlun slaves. These guys were black and thin, and seemed vulnerable, but he didn't care too much.
They fought against the Chenla people in the rainforest of Linyi before. Those Chenla people were also short, black and thin, but they were all very cunning and vicious. If you underestimate them, you will suffer a lot.
He led a hundred cavalry to keep some distance from these hemp leaf villagers.
Behind, Shan Sili was still sitting on the boat and stayed behind. On the pier, another 300 security guards, spear squadron, sword shield squadron and crossbow squadron came down.
On the big ship, the deck cabins were opened, and eight oxen crossbows were drawn up, aimed at the dock and shore, ready for support at any time.
The sloops are scattered around the perimeter to guard.
Shan Sili's eyes were full of killing intent, but he was more cautious, like a lion before hunting, full of patience and caution.
After walking for a while, we arrived in front of the village.
Gu Ma Cilang stood at the door to greet him, and the village gate opened wide.
Jia Wu was not in a hurry to bring the cavalry in, but waited for the 300 infantry squadron behind to catch up.
Anxiety flashed across Gu Ma Cilang's eyes, but Jia Wu was still not in a hurry.
"The village has killed buffaloes and deer, prepared fresh fish, and specially prepared good wine, please come to the village to enjoy!"
Jia Wu still rode on the horse and didn’t intend to get off. He just looked at the village with a professional eye, “No hurry, let’s go in together when everyone is here.”
After waiting for a while, the infantry behind arrived.
Jia Wu nodded to the captain of the Sword and Shield Squadron, "Old Zhang, go ahead, be careful."
Lao Zhang nodded and waved his hand. The team of swords and shields was divided into several teams. He raised his shield in his hand and walked in carefully with a knife in his hand. A group of three covered each other and was very cautious.
Jia Wu relaxed a little after Lao Zhang sent someone to reply.
"Enter!"
The remaining 200 spearmen and archers entered, while the cavalry remained outside.
"Old Wang, take your brothers and stay outside."
"Understood, I have people guarding the four village gates, don't worry."
Tacit cooperation.
Jia Wu entered the north gate on horseback. Lao Zhang had already taken over the village gate in the north gate of the village, and the archer captain immediately sent archers to take over the two simple wooden buildings, which were used as watchtowers and arrow towers.
"We have prepared the property of the slaves to make amends, and we have also prepared good food and wine. Let's enjoy it together!" Gu Ma Cilang looked at the actions of these Qin people, and couldn't help feeling a little panicked.
Originally thought that these Qin people could be easily lured into the village, and Ma Suer and others would take advantage of their unpreparedness to fight out, but who would have thought that the Qin people would not come according to their plan at all.
Many people were left on the boat, and there were also people on the pier.
Now that they were outside the village, the cavalry stayed outside. As soon as they entered the village, they sent people to occupy the North Village Gate. Moreover, these people did not intend to relax at all after entering the village. Instead, they looked like they were facing a big enemy.
He felt something was wrong.
After sending cavalry to block the four gates of the village and occupying the north gate of the village, Jia Wu led the people to continue walking, but they had already left Gu Macilang and several of his brothers, nephews and nephews by his side. They have been controlled in the circle, and if something goes wrong, they can be cut down or captured.
When he came to the center of the village, Jia Wu was in no hurry to enter Datu's house.
He stood in the empty field, "Call all the people in the village first."
"Don't worry, the village has a population of several thousand and it's crowded and noisy. It's better to drink and eat first. The general and his party must be very tired when they come here. Let's eat first."
"I agree to the conditions previously proposed by the Qin family. From now on, we will pay tithes to San Francisco for all our land output. I will send my young children and grandchildren to San Francisco tomorrow... "
Jia Wu's eyes gradually narrowed. From Gu Ma Cilang's flickering eyes and urgent tone, he felt that something was wrong.
Although the Qin family came like a tiger into a flock of sheep, they should be afraid, but since Maye Village dared to follow the envoys and merchant ships that attacked them before, it shows that these people are not timid, but now they are acting like this Cowardly, obviously the contrast is too great.
Jia Wu winked at several security captains around him, asking them to step up their guard.
"The crowd is really noisy. In this way, I heard that in your Barangay villages, the villagers are divided into warrior servants, tribute villagers, and slaves, right? You send someone to spread the word and call all the warrior servants here first." , Let them bring all the weapons here, since you all sincerely belong to the Qin family, this is of course excellent, but according to the rules of my Qin family, ordinary villagers are not allowed to privately own soldiers, horses and weapons, so these weapons must first Turn it over, and temporarily hand it over to us for safekeeping!"
Gu Maba squeezed out a smile on his face, but his heart became more and more flustered.
"Okay, I'll go and speak out in person."
"Hey, there's no need for the village chief to go in person, you can just send someone to call."
As he spoke, he made eye contact with his subordinates, so a team of security guards surrounded Gu Maba even more tightly.
Upstairs in Datu’s wooden house, Masur and Yiluo hid upstairs, carefully spying on the situation outside. Seeing how cautious the Qin people were, they couldn’t help frowning more and more.
"What should I do? These Qin people are too careful!"
"hold on."
Masur didn't find a chance at all. After these Tang people came in, they didn't disperse their actions at all, let alone disband their armor and eat and drink.
They are now gathered in the big drying yard, maintaining a battle formation, and they are controlling Gu Macilang and other family to death.
"The Qin people want Mahalika to go there, what should we do?"
There are still about 500 soldiers in Maye Village, which is also the key force for Ma Suer's plan to ambush the Qin family. After all, he came in a hurry this time, and Ma Suer only drove a boat with only 100 soldiers on board.
"Send some Alipin slaves pretending to be Mahalika to deal with it, and see if these Qin people can relax their vigilance."
Jia Wu rode on the horse all the time, and when he saw about 300 so-called Maye Village family Ding soldiers who were called, his face became serious.
These people can't look like soldiers at all, and what they hold in their hands are agricultural tools rather than weapons.
"You dare to trick me?" Jia Wu sneered at Gu Ma Cilang twice, and then said to the soldiers beside him, "Blow the horn and get ready to fight!"
The guards blew the horn, and soon the horn sounded from the direction of the pier in response, and then all sides of the village also responded.
Masur's face on the upper floor of the wooden house changed drastically, and he knew that the plan had failed.
"Do it!"
"But..." Yiluo looked worriedly at the hedgehog-like Qin people below, not knowing what to do.
The horn of the buffalo sounded on the wooden building. During the sound of the horn, Jia Wu raised his bow and set an arrow. One arrow shot dead a Mahalika who rushed out of the house, and more Mahalika rushed out of the thatched huts on all sides. rushed out.
"Fix formation!"
Jia Wu shouted orders without any panic.
The spearmen and sword and shield soldiers quickly formed formations, surrounding the crossbowmen in the middle, and the crossbowmen calmly raised the bows that had already been wound, drew the arrows and pulled the strings.
There were bursts of thunderbolts, and arrows shot out like locusts, shooting over the opposite side.
