Lord of Ming Dynasty

He decided that if he saw something wrong, he would retreat and run back to the camp, but this retreat was a bit reconciled, and it was not easy to retreat. The woods belonged to the Indians, and the Iliad's war horses were better in the woods. They are flexible, and once they retreat, they chase inside, and the mercenary unit that escaped with their legs must have suffered heavy losses.

Translating, the Russian mercenary hesitated for a moment, and then had to walk out of the woods under the threat of sweeping mines, and walked towards the man step by step.

When the knight on the opposite side saw him, he was alert at first, and then slowly approached. The two of them stared like this, and finally stopped at a distance of 15 meters from each other.

The two made fierce gestures, and then the Russian mercenary retreated slowly. When they reached a distance of 100 meters, they flew away and sprinted at a speed of [-] meters. When they reached the woods, they used tactical movements, running around the trees, turning back, and looking back from time to time. Iliad riders opposite.

When he ran into the woods, he was thrown to the ground by the ambushing soldiers, and then he was picked up and dragged to Swee Tianlei, "What's going on? What are you running for?"

Sweeper squatted behind a rock, stared at him and asked.

"They said they wanted us to give back the two previous men or they would kill us all, and they said they didn't want a war with us, they wanted peace and this is their territory. Let's get out. "

The Russian mercenary said.

Sweeping Thunder punched the stone, and said viciously: "Do you really think they can beat us? It's just a group of Iliads. Regardless of how small we are, it will take minutes to deal with them."

He raised his head and saw that the rider on the opposite side appeared on the edge of the forest following the route of the returning Russian mercenaries on horseback. After hesitating for a moment, he bravely continued to move forward, holding a matchlock in his hand. Gun, look left and right, and go in carefully.

Shouting in his mouth, "I want to talk to your leaders, we are not here to fight you, we are different from the group of people who attacked you, we are not enemies."

Sweeping Thunder can't decide now, whether to go to war or negotiate, he doesn't trust this person, or these people, what if they play tricks and want to delay time?

"Papa, papa," suddenly there was a fierce gunshot not far away, and Swee Tianlei was startled, and immediately lay down behind the rock, and in a standard defensive action, raised the Huaxia 1705 rifle beside him, aiming at the rider on the opposite side .

The rider heard the gunshots coming from behind the stockade, was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Satianlei in despair. After receiving the order from Sweeping Thunder, no one fired, and he was allowed to run away. Just as Sweeping Thunder was about to give the order to shoot, there was a scream behind him, and then the sound of gunfire. The sound of gunfire was from their side gunshots from weapons.

Shocked, he immediately turned his head and looked towards the way he came. On the way, a group of Iliad cavalry rushed forward with spears, bows and arrows. They can't lift their heads up.

"Are you surrounded?"

He looked to the left and right, then to the front, and then to the village at the back. The village seemed to come alive. Suddenly, a lot of people ran out of it, stepped on their horses, or crawled on top of the house, climbed up the archery tower, or got into the stilted building. Below the house, armed with weapons, something awaits.

"You, you, you, you three, go to the direction where the gunshots came from to see what happened. Why did they open fire before the appointed time? It seems that they are not in place yet, and they are still a mile away. At the edge of the forest, hurry up, walk around, walk along the mountainside. Give me an answer as soon as possible, and send someone to the other side to inform them to move closer to me."

The incident happened suddenly, and the sweeping thunder had already determined that it was an ambush set up by the Iliads. They attacked from inside and outside to eliminate them, because the group of people who rushed over were also Iliads. "Prepare to counterattack, hold here, and wait for the other two teams reinforce."

Sao Tianlei glanced at the stockade, and then anxiously waited for the other two teams to meet up. Attacking is impossible now, so he can only wait for the manpower to gather and retreat quickly. The terrain here is complicated, and the only way to escape is to escape from the valley. Go to the camp, keep the manpower, and keep the vitality as much as possible.

When Sweeping Thunder led people to block the rushing Iliads, a lot of Indians rushed out from the other side. Their attack direction was not theirs, but the stockade. The people in the stockade fought back vigorously. There were shouts of killing, gunshots, and chaos.

Many of those who attacked them bypassed them and directly attacked the stockade, as if they were not the main target of attack.

The first thousand and 180 six chapters work together

Seeing this, no matter how stupid you are, you will know that you have been involved in other people's wars. Sweeping mines is not a good habit of helping others. "Retreat, retreat, alternate cover retreat."

He waved his hand, and more than 60 people took the Ilya captive guides and quickly retreated. In terms of cooperation and weapons, they had an absolute advantage, and they also had a geographical advantage. Therefore, they retreated to make way for the main road, and the opponent no longer pursued them. , Maybe the other party also sees that they have different goals from their own.

Maybe the other party recognizes who they are and dare not provoke them.

They ran all the way for two miles, and when they bypassed the mountain ridge forest outside the stockade and arrived at the back of the stockade, the pirate team and another team that went around had already joined up, and they were staring at the small tribe of the Iliads. There is a section of steep terrain behind the stockade. It seems that they have not received orders. They are still fighting against the enemy attacking the small tribe. After receiving the support of another withdrawn team, they are now stable and suppressed the enemy's attack. attack.

This is an invisible help to the small tribe, so that the small tribe only needs to deal with the enemies leaking from all sides. The sky sweeper is full of fire. Why didn't the people here hear it? Why don't you retreat and go with him? Will reconcile, but fight here?

"Lehman, what the hell are you doing?" A guy from the pirate team, like Stone Johnson in the movie, with a strong, bald head and muscles that showed signs of fossil hardening, was manipulating the mortar to output crazily.

On the opposite side, from the forest, the Iliads and Indians who came out from behind the ridge fell down one after another. There were no more than 100 corpses lying on the grass 100 meters in front of them. They fired a lot of mortar shells, and the sky mines caused a headache. Those shells were used to complete the mission. For these small tribes that had nothing to do with their attacks, they lost a lot of ammunition on their side. What a waste.

"Leiman, put away your guns, let's retreat." Sao Tianlei hates iron and steel, these damn muscular men have no brains at all, and they are not as good as the Han people. If it weren't for the pirate team, they would all be brainless A muscular man, he won't be the captain of the team.

Hearing the officer Sao Tianlei's yell, Lehman, the Caspian pirate from Moldova, stood up tremblingly, rubbing his hands in fear, feeling uneasy, and he also realized that he didn't obey the sweeper Tianlei ordered to stop those Iliad tribes that suddenly appeared from behind on the spot.

"We retreat, check the casualties, clean up the battlefield, erase all traces of us, and take away the corpses of our soldiers, hurry up, what are you still doing?" Sweeper shouted at Lehman.

After shouting, he fired two shots at the Iliad soldiers who rushed forward. He didn't care if he hit or not. Anyway, it was covering fire. As an officer, he couldn't care about those anymore. The casualties, tactics, and whether they can be completely withdrawn.

This is not their war, let the two groups of Iliads kill themselves, it will save their troubles, it is better to die together, but obviously this attack is impossible, there are smart people in the opposite Iliads , I can definitely think of what they came for this time, and they definitely didn't come to help that small tribe.

He understood that this was the Iliad tribe on the British side invading the Iliad tribe on the French side. Needless to say, it must be your life and death.

Gathered the troops, two hundred people, five people died, and a dozen people were injured. This made him feel annoyed, and he also hated the Iliad tribe who suddenly appeared on the French territory and was also their enemy. .

Although Lehman and the others have killed at least a hundred people here and injured one or two hundred people, they are not afraid of losses in comparison, and the mercenary group has a total strength of more than 200 people, and this time they brought half of them. Even though they had expected casualties, they had not yet achieved results, hadn't reached the ground, and had already suffered casualties before the mission started. Their mission was regarded as a failure.

He didn't feel depressed when he failed, the most important thing was to bring these people back intact.

Now it seems possible, the quality of these people is not mentioned, except for a few Iliad captives who dragged their feet and didn't know how to cooperate, the others knew how to act, some broke the back, some cleared the way, and Covering left and right, they formed a battle formation and quickly began to evacuate.

With the fire support of mortars, the suppression of Huaxia 1705 rifle fire, and the almost ferocious size of the pirate team and the bloodthirsty melee lunatics, they can disengage and move quickly without any effort.

But just after running across a section of the mountain ridge, a few people greeted them under the mountain ridge. Sweeping Thunder saw that it was an Iliad from a small tribe who came out to negotiate with them, with a burly figure, blue eyes, and blond hair. Wearing a linen battle robe, with an ax pinned to his waist, and a matchlock gun in his hand.

The leading team stopped on the spot and was watching them vigilantly. A leading officer ran up to Soo Tianlei and said nervously to Soo Tianlei's angry and fierce questioning gaze: "Chief, sir, He said that he hoped that we would help their tribes resist the Indians and Iliads' attacks, and that they would take refuge in us, take shelter under our wings, work for us, and take us to attack other Iliad tribes in the future."

Sao Tianlei froze for a moment, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind, no matter what, it seems that the number of these attacking Iliads is not very large, it is a disaster for this small tribe, but for them they are just a group Tujiwagou, if he didn't blindly retreat and suppress himself, and wanted to preserve his strength, although he would pay some price to eliminate them, it would not be too big. This time he came out without doing anything and already lost five people. If so If he went back, his position in the camp mercenary group would become embarrassing and lose prestige due to two failures.

There were forty officers in the camp. I failed twice. That time, I was attacked by the enemy and lost a lot of captive slaves and team strength. I was also seriously injured. If I go back empty-handed, then I will have to abdicate to logistics management in the camp in the future, which is not what I pursue.

After figuring it out, Sao Tianlei took a few quick steps and followed the officer to the mountain ridge below. The young Iliad man on the opposite side bowed to him and put his hand on his chest, "Dear Chinese leader, I represent Inuit Iliad." The Yate tribe salutes you, and you have also seen our danger. We escaped from the pursuit of the British on the island hundreds of kilometers away from the place occupied by the British, and came here. , After their request to annex our tribe was rejected by my father, they come to completely destroy us today. We cannot fight against them with our strength. We know that you are also enemies with the Iliads here. My father hopes to Take shelter under your wings, this is the second time I have made a request, please be sure to agree, otherwise we may be wiped out today."

The first thousand and 180 seven chapters return from the raid

Inside the palace, Zhang Qiang was sitting on a bright yellow throne, drinking tea while listening to Yong Bing's report. He was still thinking about whether he should hand over the General Affairs Department to Prince Yongwu to take charge of it.

At the beginning, it was handed over to the third child because he was good at literature and art, he articulated poems and songs, and he came out of his mouth. He doesn't have the same mood and ability to serve the country and the people as the second child, and everyone doesn't think highly of him. If he is entrusted to him, he should be very concealed and will not attract the attention of other children, grandchildren or old courtiers. Very important for an intelligence service.

"Where is Yong Hai's fleet?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"Report to Father, the fourth brother's fleet has now bypassed Cape Verde in Africa and is heading towards Spain. They spent too long in Africa. It took them two months to get acquainted with some African tribal chiefs. They left some people behind, and established ports and supply points in some key places in Africa, so that the fleet to stop and replenish food and fresh water in the future is convenient. It is convenient for us to pass on information.”

Zhang Qiang squinted his eyes and said softly: "Oh, I don't know what he wants to do, he wants to go outside for a while, but it's easy to go abroad, those Europeans are like wolves and tigers, more cunning than foxes, He will definitely suffer this time, if you send someone to keep an eye on him, you can lose everything, but you can’t let him die, bring him back when it’s convenient.”

"Yes, Royal Father," Yong Bing answered unhurriedly with a literati demeanor.

Putting down his teacup and looking out the window, Zhang Qiang was filled with emotion. At first he didn't want to expand externally, but his blood remained in the blood of his sons, the angry and passionate blood of the later generations of wage earners, and they, as the royal family, To blame for the vanity of his sons who want to surpass their father's achievements, the fourth child wants to go out and make a fortune, the eldest brother bravely suppresses the development of the British in the country, and the third child wants to travel to Turkey and Russia , and proposed to merge the Qing Dynasty into the Huaxia Empire.

He knew he couldn't stop them, he didn't know where they would take the empire he created, so let them go.

"What's going on with Li Ya and the others?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"Father, Zhao Shuai, the grandson of Zhao Hu, has been sent to where they are. Due to the long distance, we still have no way of knowing their actions. Our telegraph line has just been established to the base camp in Central Asia. Li Ya's actions will be delayed for a few months, and they will have to be delayed for another half a month to arrive at our place. Although the telegram transmits the news quickly, the commercial line is still temporarily occupying part of the military line and the official line. The military officers and businessmen below often use the official and military lines to transmit their private messages, and the military intelligence department is also using them. We can’t use those lines openly. Although there are legends about our military intelligence department, we haven’t made it official. , so you won’t get the right to use the official and military lines, so you will lag behind the Ministry of Military Intelligence in delivering the news.”

"Hehe, there is no way around this. The empire is big and there are everyone. Let your elder brother toss about it. I can't care much about it now. You have to help your elder brother a little, and don't let our family's foundation be ruined. Those people's hands. Go down, I'm tired."

Time and space are distorted, and the time goes back to the end of Newfoundland. Li Ya is also looking out worriedly. The team has been out for a day and a night. Where to recruit some people, there are not many people sent, led by an officer, and there are also five people.

Sa Lei came over, "We built another 180-ton armed merchant ship, but the weapons are not good. There are only a few matchlock guns and three tiger squatting guns."
