388 Hunger and hardship
Last night's inspiration made the Hongtang team members toss all night, but correspondingly, it also made them eat a dinner that is rare to eat these days.
It's just that there are some unbeautiful places, the taste of this dinner is really unspeakable, if it weren't for the hunger, I'm afraid that none of the Hongtang team members would want to eat this soup with all kinds of strange flavors.
Even now, due to the situation, everyone can only eat the soup made of this belt with their noses pinched and buried their heads, but I am afraid that many people have already vowed in their hearts that they will never touch this kind of dark food again from now on.
However, benefiting from the moisture of last night's light rain and the feeling of hunger brought by the belt soup, the morale and appearance of Hongtang's team today are the best in these days.
"The natives at the bottom of the mountain are moving a lot, it looks like they want to break through our defense line today!" Raised the telescope in his hand and watched for a bad time, turned his head and handed the telescope to Dong Haoran and them, Lu Yu let out a loud laugh twice, and pointed to the busy aborigines below.
"Now our brothers have strength, keep them and let them not come back!" A company commander waved his arms, it seemed that he had gnawed on his belt last night, and as soon as he finished speaking, he hiccuped, and a strange smell came up and almost smoked himself.
In the morning, the Hongtang team members were not allowed to be peaceful, and a team of indigenous warriors rushed up like a swarm, and this time there was no need to worry about Hongtang putting down the rolling logs, because they ran out of rolling logs!
"Ready!"
There is no rolling log, but the Hongtang team members still have other magic weapons, and this time they saw a lot of natives attacking, which was a good opportunity for them to make a move.
"Throw stones!"
The arquebus has run out of ammunition, and everyone treats the gun as a spearman, but the size of the stones obtained when digging the position, the Hongtang team members have not used it these days. Barry reported it on the mountain.
The crackling stones fell down, only shattering a small part of the formation of the natives, but with it, more natives came up from behind.
"Grenade, grenade, ready, put!"
The last sharp weapon was used by the Hongtang warriors in this way, this is the first time Hongtang has used a grenade in these days, in the mountainside with such a dense opponent, under the roar, several figures fell, and the effect was remarkable.
Keeping this weapon until now, it is also not necessary to use this weapon before, after all, it is not easy to store grenades, and if you are not careful, you will get damp with gunpowder and leads, which will not carry much with you when you attack lightly. In addition, there was ammunition before, or there was also a rolling log to rely on, so even if you don't use grenades, you can still knock down the natives, so why waste the only supplies you have!
However, looking at the movements of the natives today, they probably don't want the Hongtang warriors to see the sun tomorrow again, so Lu Lu and they naturally won't care about this little material anymore, and strive to persist until the end.
The explosion, which was much louder than the gunshots, brought fireworks and fireworks, resounding throughout the mountains and forests, startling many birds. Unexpectedly, under the cover of grenades, Hong Tang was very relaxed, and he knocked down a charge that the natives were bound to win.
From here, it can also be seen that the natives at the bottom of the mountain are struggling to support themselves, and if they were replaced by the previous indigenous warriors, at least they would not be frightened by the explosion of grenades and flee without a fight. At this time, the expressions of the indigenous warriors, like the Tubaozi group who did not know about foreign affairs, were more shocked by its indescribable lethality and huge roar when facing the power of the Hongtang grenade, so they lost a little fighting spirit.
It's no wonder that the level of warriors in this guest tribe is declining now, and in recent years, the tribe can quickly develop into a large clan with a population of tens of thousands. Barton and the others adopted a more bloody approach of ethnic annexation, and after each attack on the next tribe, they annexed the remaining tribes and warriors into the guest tribes. Therefore, it is natural that there are still many warriors who are resistant to the visiting tribes, and there are also many warriors who have not passed through the visitor. Patton: They popularized the power and practical performance of Hongtang's weapons.
In other words, these warriors may have been told about the power and performance of these firearms, but the difference between oral and real experience is naturally not the same, and it is a matter of course to be frightened by grenades.
In the past ten days, Hongtang's losses are not small, the warriors attacked by their Leke tribe have died more, there are no sharp iron knives, they can only rely on backward stone and wood objects, or weapons such as beast teeth and arrows to kill the enemy, without geographical advantages, the Leke tribe has lost nearly 2,000 people here.
But it was not easy to besiege Hongtang's team here, and now they have reached the point where they are unable to support themselves. Patton, as well as the other leaders and elders, would not be willing to let the enemy escape and ascend to heaven.
Therefore, in order to surround the people of Hongtang, Lake. Patton had no choice but to continue to recruit men from the main village and a few other subordinate villages and send them here. And these new indigenous warriors are tough and strong, but when faced with a weapon like grenade, their natural performance is very different from the elite warriors of the Lake tribe before.
Fortunately, this time the natives took the initiative, and they had the final say in whether they wanted to fight or withdraw, even if they were scared back by the Hongtang people this first time, but it didn't hurt, they could still organize a second and third battle.
Moreover, these indigenous warriors who have not been through the world can just get a good look at the power and performance of the weapons in the hands of the opponents they will face in the future on this battlefield, which can be regarded as popularizing these indigenous warriors in advance.
But what they didn't expect was that it was this batch of grenades that shook through the mountains and forests and provided direction for a team that was getting lost in this jungle.
At this time, in a valley only ten miles away from the hill of the battle between the natives and Lu Yu in the north, a group of thousands of people was walking in the valley.
In front of their team, a member of the Hongtang team with a bald head and a circle of hair on the side of his head was holding a simple map, flipping through and looking at it, and from time to time he looked up at the surrounding terrain with a little anxiety and guilt in his eyes.
"Is this the direction in the end, it won't lead us to the wrong way, right?" A young man wearing Hongtang's standard costume looked at the anxious widow in front of him, and said dissatisfiedly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The Japanese warrior nodded his head to admit his mistake, but he did not forget to continue to observe the scene in front of him: "When we broke through that night, it was late at night when we passed through this area, and there was no way to observe the terrain in this area, so I can't determine the current direction. ”
