"Attention, the pile of stones piled up like a small tower is the sign of the Mamat people's sphere of influence. If you see this kind of pile of stones piled up regularly in the wild, it means that you will enter or you have entered their territory. If you don't want to be scalped alive, you have to withdraw quickly; and if you insist on going your own way, relying on your own strength, and insist on continuing to advance without the consent of the aborigines, you will soon be attacked. Their powerful counterattacks, in the grass, by the woods, by the stone piles, all the places you can't think of, will shoot deadly cold arrows and javelins that make people unable to dodge! And you will have no way to deal with this. The Kurut savages hunting in the harsh environment are very agile, and the slow-firing muskets in our hands can't catch their traces at all..." Along the way, Yu Shan, carrying an ax and a cloth bag upside down, took advantage of At the last time before contacting the Kurut people, Dong Jimao, the officer leading the Chiyang advance team, introduced in detail the aborigines of this island, the Kurut people who are famous for their fierceness and bravery.He hopes to use this method to reduce the loss of the Chiyang fleet. After all, he and his boss will return to the mainland with the help of Chiyang's power. Big ones may delay the process, and this is not what the boss behind him wants to see.

"Very good, well said! However, can you tell us about your last battle experience with these Kuruts? I think this will help us to assess the combat effectiveness of the Kuruts to a large extent..." Faced with Shan's chatter, based on the Chinese nation's consistent virtue of humility, Dong Jimao did not show any impatience. However, compared with these unnutritious chatter, he paid more attention to the Shan team's previous relationship with the Kurut natives. That battle, because he wanted to understand the real fighting power of the Kurut people through Yu Shan's few words, although in his eyes, those aborigines who were boasted by Yu Shan and the others were as brave and good at fighting as the elite cavalry of the Qing Dynasty. In terms of combat effectiveness, it is actually more similar to the banditry he fought against before, but as Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles." His great sense of responsibility made him dare not be careless. After all, this was his first time leading a team to fight. If he messed up, he would never be able to lead the army to the battle next time, so he couldn't help being careless and going all out.

"At that time, like you, we thought we were strong and strong, and the Kuruts were natives, so they were vulnerable. But we were wrong. The Kuruts were not the primitive savages we imagined. They didn't swarm into battles. , to start a frontal fight with us, but to use all the terrain that is beneficial to them to attack us, Mr. Dong, do you know that these small natives can walk at eighty to one hundred paces (120--160 meters) They can accurately shoot our people at a distance, but in close combat, hehe, I can only use hehe to describe them. Their tomahawks and short knives are very good, and they eat meat for a long time, and their bodies are not those of us who eat food. It can be compared, so basically one Kurut can defeat two of our sailors head-on, and their elite, the warriors of the Kurut tribe, can easily defeat more than five of our sailors while ensuring their own safety. Sailor! Master Dong, if you haven’t fought against them, you can’t really understand. The bloodthirsty and fierceness of these people comes from the marrow of their bones. When they charge into battle, they never take human life seriously...” After Yu Shan’s intermittent narration , Dong Jimao finally figured out how the so-called Kurut people are good at fighting.It turns out that among the indigenous people, the Kuruts and even the more powerful Mamats are only good at sneak attacks and attacks on maritime merchant groups with low organizational power, and small and medium-sized pirates. If I am careful enough and the team does not disperse, these aboriginals will not find a chance to completely defeat their own group. Facing the strict queue and dense platoon of guns, all the bravery of the aboriginals will become a joke.

However, he obviously forgot that the farmers and soldiers under his command who were carrying the water storage buckets were not battle-tested regular soldiers, and their performance in the face of the Kurut attack might not be better than that of Qiao Si's crew. Where are you going!

"Stop, everyone silence Dong, there seems to be something wrong in front, Wen Si, Wen Liu, you two have good legs and feet, and go out with me to investigate and see what happened, the rest of you will wait Put down the buckets, take out your weapons and prepare for battle!" The water fetching team walked along the winding and undulating dirt road on the island for about half a mile, looking at the growing vegetation around them, Dong Jimao, who was carrying a short flower gun upside down and just buried his head in walking without a word, suddenly Yu Shan interrupted the eloquence, and frowned, as if he noticed something wrong.The next moment, under his order, more than a dozen emaciated peasants and soldiers put down the buckets they were carrying, picked up their spears, and began to line up for battle with arquebus.

"Chief Jia, it's not good. The Jia Liu brothers we sent to investigate the situation earlier were surrounded by Kuruts on the slope ahead! There are many indigenous people and there are elite archers. We dare not rely on them. It’s too close, so we can only watch from a distance. Chief Jia, let’s quickly send a message to the leader. There are more than a hundred Kurut indigenous warriors, including heavy ax warriors, snake pole warriors, and even eagle archers. It’s not just us. A dozen or 20 people are capable of fighting..." But just as Dong Jimao, Yu Shan and others organized their manpower to defend against the aborigines' sneak attack, Wen Si, who was ordered to go out to investigate the military situation, and Wen Liu stumbled back, and at the same time, They also brought the bad news that Jia Liu and others were surrounded by Kurut brigade.

"What, a hundred aboriginals?! What did Jia Liu and the others do? They asked them to investigate the situation. How did they collide with the brigade of aboriginals? We only have less than 20 people on hand, and they have not been trained much. Farmers and soldiers, there is no way to rescue them, Wen Si, you have good legs and feet, and go back first to inform the leader and Mr. Zanhua, let them send reinforcements over to support them, and the others will follow me, let's make some noise first, so that we can help Jia Liu and the others relieve the pressure..." His subordinates were besieged, and the natives attacked aggressively, which made Dong Jimao, who was a rural teacher, a little flustered, but then he thought that he had practiced martial arts for many years, and his skills with spears and clubs were really not weak. With the main force of the Chiyang Fleet as the backing, there is no need to be afraid of the fierce and fierce natives!Therefore, while sending messengers back to the ship to report the news, he began to organize his men to continue marching forward, hoping to attract the attention of a group of indigenous people from the flanks, thereby reducing the defensive pressure of Jia Liu and others in the encirclement.

The big island of the Ge family has a low slope with a rabbit head.

Standing at the bottom of the low slope, Gaishe looked up at the aliens entrenched on the top of the slope, with a very complicated expression.He is in his early thirties this year, which is the most vigorous age in a person's life. It has been more than ten years since he took over the ruling power of the tribe from his father at the age of 20, and his life has been ordinary. In addition to fighting openly and secretly, Aichal Khan and his Krills went to the depths of the ocean in an eight-legged boat to hunt for munchfish, small whales, and silverback sharks. Together they sailed to the nearby islands where the Tazimirs lived and robbed them.

However, this kind of life had a new change a few years ago, when an alien fleet consisting of three wooden galleons appeared in his territory on a summer afternoon. Char Khan unanimously believes that these aliens wearing cloth robes and turbans (they thought that the Ming Dynasty conquerors from other worlds were a large number of tribal alliances) were businessmen who came with good intentions and could exchange for I and my subordinates have a lot of daily necessities, so I warmly entertained them!But the so-called "knowing people, knowing their faces, not knowing their hearts", the simple Kurut people never thought that these "foreign businessmen" who still traded with them fairly during the day would reveal their terrifying true colors in the dead of night at night!With the help of the Tazimir traitors bought in advance, forty or fifty strong caravan guards temporarily acted as robbers. Organize a viable force to resist in time, and then use ten people as a team to search for property and plunder the population. When the island guard Gaisha and the priest Char Khan gather enough Kriel and tribesmen, the impromptu robbers They have already carried a lot of belongings (poorly, the Kurut people do not have the habit of storing gold, silver and copper coins, what Qiao Si and others snatched are only furs, dried fish, seafood and the like, of course, there are also a small amount of horses The Mat people themselves smelted copper, iron or other precious metals), and escorted a dozen young aboriginal men and women onto the boat.

Note: Kurut battle ax and short knife, the level of iron smelting of the Kurut people is not high, they can't make a knife with a standard length, so they can only use rough iron with a lot of impurities to make a short knife similar to a large dagger, and Not every Kurut can equip this kind of short knife, only those brave men in the clan can use it, it is a symbol of power and status.

Note 2: Kurut Snake Rod Warriors, a unique unit of the Mamat people, use a one-foot-long snake-shaped spear, and their combat power is equivalent to that of the Ming army's spearmen. However, the snake rods in their hands are more powerful than the spears .

Note 3: Gaishe, Mamat is Huke, the big island of the Ge family of the Kurut people, that is, the little leader, the meaning of the island guard. The ruling system of the Mamat people is very rough. Generally, there are only Huke and Loriai in small tribes. Both Hu Ke and Creel are Mamat officials of the lineage, who are in charge of priests and financial affairs in the tribe), and Creel (more similar to a collection of hunting captains, attendants, and warriors) three official positions.

Note 4: The eight-legged boat, a unique boat of the Mamat people, is composed of two to three canoes, and there are eight spider-like wooden sticks on the outer wings to maintain the balance of the hull.

Note 5: The Tazimir people, a branch of the Mamat people, are good at fishing, farming, and planting seaweed, and their combat effectiveness is in the lower reaches of the entire Mamat people.
