Yamamoto's arrangement was already very cautious, and he had already concluded in his heart that there was an unknown enemy hiding in this mountain, so although he scattered the team, the distance between each team was very small, and they echoed each other left and right, and it was impossible to be alone.

Originally, he was born as a samurai in Satsuma, and when he was young, he did not have much contact with martial arts such as arranging troops, and in the past two years under Wu Jie, he was highly valued, and it was because he was raised by Li Tian that Yamamoto could only vent his vigorous energy on the soldiers under his command when he was fine, and naturally studied a lot of military knowledge more attentively.

His cautious actions saved their group, which was gradually approaching the tiger's mouth, and as they pulled away, pressing down the hillside to the top of the hill, they also got closer and closer to the team of the Ryker tribe on the mountainside.

Lake. Although Barry had a lot of military battle plans without a division, when Hongtang's team searched forward so steadily, he had no idea where to start, and he could only watch the other party get closer and closer to his hiding place.

Last night, I was going to take hundreds of clansmen to sneak attack the Hongtang camp below, but unfortunately I was still blocked by the other party's heavily guarded scene, and I couldn't find a chance. Barry was holding back a lot of energy in his heart, wanting to vent.

"Immortals! Immortals! ”

Suddenly, a member of the Wu Hongtang team fell to the ground when passing by the remote bushes, and the sound of the two Wu Hongtang team members on their left and right sides crushed the bushes when the team members fell to the ground attracted them, and they quickly turned their heads to watch.

"Enemy attack!"

With just one glance, a sharp-eyed team member woke up from the feathered arrows stuck in the bodies of these fallen team members and the bright blood flowing between their clothes, and shouted loudly.

"Enemy ......"

Before he could let out a second shout, a feathered arrow pierced his open mouth and shot into his mouthpiece, and the team member slowly fell to the ground as he covered his tongue.

At the same time, dense feather arrows were shot from all over the mountain, and for a while, countless Hongtang team members fell to the ground.

Fortunately, although it was only a shout, it was enough for the well-trained Hongtang team members, and more Hongtang team members found a nearby hiding place at the same time as this shout, avoiding the feather arrows shot by the other party.

The Hongtang team members who failed to shoot this section at the first time, and the vigilant shouts suddenly sounded in the middle of the mountainside. As the surrounding Hongtang team members heard the shouts, they dodged the whistling arrow rain while slowly retreating towards Yamamoto's team.

Colleagues' house, the sound of Hongtang's team members counterattacking also echoed in this jungle, the continuous sound of musket shooting, and the obvious sound of battle, so that Lu Yu and others, who were waiting for the search results below, were shocked at the same time, and immediately issued an order for reinforcements.

Lu Yan, who was still afraid in his heart, congratulated himself on his good luck, and shouted with a bit of shame and anger: "Guan Sancang, give you five hundred musketeers, and take the brothers on the mountain back!" ”

"Yes!" A burly non-commissioned officer took the order.

"Yuan Min, immediately build the cannon for me, I'm going to bomb the damn!"

"Yes!" Another man was ordered to go.

The other party obviously occupies a geographical advantage, and it is in an unfamiliar environment, but Lu Lu did not dare to underestimate the enemy at this time, and rashly pressed all the manpower up.

Hongtang came all the way, not to mention the strength, this numerical advantage alone made many natives dare not act rashly, otherwise they would not have been able to encounter the resistance of only a dozen tribes in these ten days, and many of them were because their cottage was on the march of Hongtang's team.

Now that the other party dares to ambush them, it shows that they are sure to fight with their Hongtang, at least in terms of numbers.

After the team that picked up Yamamoto and them came back, they had already decided to search for the mountain peak anyway, so they were more cautious and sent two hundred more people to Yamamoto's Lu Yu, seeing that the original battalion of 700 people could escape from the mountain with less than 500 people, and they lost more than 200 team members in a short time, and even most of the team members who escaped were wounded by arrows, and their faces turned pale in an instant.

Being able to use a rudimentary bow and crossbow to deal such a big blow to a well-trained Hongtang team member in a short period of time is definitely not a small number of people ambushed in the mountains. This is still the damage in the case of the Hongtang team in a scattered search formation, if the whole army moves forward and does not take precautions, this loss will be unimaginable!!

While rejoicing that he had escaped, Lu Lu couldn't help but smile gratefully at Yamamoto, who insisted on his views last night, and regardless of the other party's embarrassed appearance, he grabbed his arm and said, "Fortunately, I listened to your advice, Company Commander Yamamoto, otherwise our team would really suffer a big loss!" ”

In front of the team members, Lu Lu took the initiative to tell Yamamoto's advice last night, which can be regarded as repaying his life-saving grace today, and thus confirming Yamamoto's credit.

"The regiment commander has won the award, this is what I should do as a forward officer!" Yamamoto's face was solemn, and he was not proud of the fact that his estimate was correct, but turned around and pointed to the mountain peak that had just escaped, and said, "Judging from the frequency of bow and arrow fire they received, the opponents hiding in the mountain this time are at least more than 1,500 people, and they are roughly located near the mountainside. ”

"Very good, it's time for them to taste the power of our Hongtang!" Lu Yu's face was full of color, and his eyes were full of murderous anger as he looked at the opposite peak.

The enemy was unexpectedly strong, but it gave Lu Lu a strong confidence and desire to fight, if he was only dragged here by a group of natives of no more than a few hundred people, even if he finally defeated the other party and missed the Jilong Harbor at the time of convergence, it would inevitably be disgraced.

Fortunately, this time, in addition to the 1,000 musketeers, there were also five 500-pound Franc cannons, and in order to carry these heavy Franc cannons and shells, Lu Lu and their team spent a lot of effort along the way.

The reason why I didn't forget to carry these cannons at night in the mountain road is that in the confrontation with the indigenous team over the years, I have eaten up the benefits of the powerful deterrent power of artillery, and for this group of uncivilized natives, these mysterious weapons with strong sounds and great power are simply miracles comparable to the gods descending from the earth.

Therefore, the more you face the unknown indigenous tribes, the more powerful the nameless power of the artillery, and although the artillery is not used, the powerful power brought by the musket that is one size smaller than it is in the process of use, is a few points stronger than they are in the battle with the Japanese people, which means that it is self-evident.
