"Enemy attack, find cover!!"
The adjutant, who was more experienced in combat, roared, and while pulling the young officer to his stomach, he directed the soldiers around him to find cover.
At the same time, the sailors who reflected it hurriedly raised the arquebuses in their hands and aimed at the surrounding jungle while hurriedly dodging the arrows.
The bows and arrows seemed to be haphazard, but in fact the native warriors had already secretly assigned their targets, and they did not spare any moving bodies on the ground without receiving the order from Lagok to leave them alive. For a moment, the corpse of the Dutch soldier, who had already been mortally wounded on the ground and had naturally convulsed when he was left behind, flew over the bow and arrow again and again, inserting the corpse into a hedgehog.
Of course, because of such senseless actions, many indigenous warriors also exposed their figures, but the indigenous warriors who felt that they were brave and brave did not care at all while shooting and observing the movements on the ground opposite.
The Dutch reconnaissance team of fifty people had already killed more than half of them on the spot under a round of sneak attacks by the indigenous warriors, and then under the continuous shooting, some soldiers who were not seriously injured also followed in the footsteps of their comrades and were shot into hedgehogs. In the end, there were only thirteen or fourteen people left in the ranks, and the young officer who was the commander was still trembling beside the adjutant, and he was no longer combat-ready at first glance.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
The Dutch soldiers, who were lying behind the trees and bushes, found traces of the indigenous warriors at this time, and under the impetus of panic, fear, anger and fear, they took up their arquebuses and fired back without waiting for the commander's orders.
The arquebus, a hot weapon, is not uncommon in Bengang, but it is not a well-known weapon either. Among the indigenous warriors, they have followed Hong Tang in the past few years and have seen many such firearms that were originally regarded as miracles by them, but now that they are familiar with them, they are a little less in awe of such weapons. But what they didn't expect was that compared with the hand-held firearms such as bird guns and three-eyed guns in the Ming Dynasty, it was obvious that the standard arquebuses in the hands of the Dutch were more lethal and more accurate.
In the hands of more than a dozen Dutch sailors, the arquebus, which was originally only regarded as a rare thing by Hong Tang and the indigenous warriors, suddenly made several indigenous warriors who could not avoid it see blood on the spot.
Compared with the penetrating wounds caused by bows and arrows, the lead bullets cast by the powerful kinetic energy of the arquebus caused the wounds caused by them are completely different. Wherever the guns were shot, there was either a big hole in the bodies and arms of the two indigenous warriors who were shot, or a large piece of flesh and blood was missing, so that the blood on the wounded indigenous warriors erupted like the spring water in the fountain, and soon dyed several of the indigenous warriors into blood.
Fortunately, while receiving Hongtang's military training, the indigenous warriors did not forget to learn Hongtang's first-aid measures, and several indigenous warriors hurriedly dragged the injured indigenous aside for emergency bandaging and treatment.
"Rush up!!"
However, the Dutch counterattack, instead of making the native warriors flinch, made Lahok give the order on the spot.
After the use of Dahai and the fact that Lahok became a tool for him to overthrow the old patriarch, and after the great change of the extinction and rebuilding of the Zhuluo Mountain Society, the whole person became more silent, but he was also more pragmatic and thoughtful.
During his tenure as commander of the coalition forces, he was always very concerned about the various measures and new weapons in Bengang, so he was also very interested in the arquebus. He knew very well that an arquebus, for about six or seven breaths after firing, needed to be reloaded with ammunition and fuses, which was why Bengang Hongtang and their natives had not been equipped with muskets, but had used long-range tools such as bows and crossbows.
At this time, the opponent's panicked counterattack, although it caused slight damage to the coalition soldiers, but the next few breaths were also when they were most vulnerable.
Very decisively, Lahok immediately gave the order to attack with all his forces.
Suddenly, in the dense jungle that had been thought to be empty, a steady stream of people emerged from every corner, surrounding the remaining dozen Dutch soldiers.
Many of the soldiers looked desperate, simply put down the muskets in their hands that had not been reloaded, and instead drew the long knives at their waists, and stood up to prepare for a desperate fight. However, the native warriors did not give these valiant Dutch sailors a chance to fight alone, and from somewhere, several bows and arrows flew over, aiming at the eyes and mouths of the Dutch sailors who had risen from the battle.
In the end, the Dutchman did not even have the slightest chance of hand-to-hand combat, and fell to the ground in an ordinary way, becoming a dead body that had lost its vitality.
"Jump into the river!!"
The adjutant was still experienced in a hundred battles, and although he was surrounded by him, he still quickly thought of a way to escape, took the lead in pulling the young officer beside him, and ran to Bengang Creek, which was not far away.
At this time, the Dutch sailors, who were already frightened, could not care about any more resistance and struggle, and followed closely behind the two officers, and rushed forward.
In the meantime, some people naturally took a step slower, and were slashed to the ground by the native warriors who were chasing after them, losing their mobility, and in the end there were only three or five Dutch people who could crawl and slip into the Bengang Creek.
However, the young officer, who had been reluctant to give up, became one of the lucky ones with the help of the adjutant. Subsequently, a few Dutch sailors who had managed to escape from the ascension swam towards the opposite shore in a panic, and only then did they be very glad that they were sailors, and that their already very good swimming skills were at this moment, and I am afraid that even the future swimmer Filipino-Phelps would have to bow to the wind.
By the time Lahok and the others reached the river, there was nothing but a rippling wave on the water!
"Collect the troops!"
The natives are like fish in water in the jungle, but it would be difficult for them to swim in the water and chase the enemy. Originally, most of the aborigines were a group of landlubbers, but after joining the Bengang coalition army, Li Tianyang and them started from the perspective of reserve soldiers, and also vigorously promoted swimming skills to the natives, so that many indigenous soldiers learned to swim, but now it is limited to everyone will not fall into the river and drown, if you want to say that you are familiar with the water, there is still a distance of 108,000 miles.
Besides, this time their gain was not small, fifty men waited for the Dutch reconnaissance team, and in the end their team left behind thirty or forty corpses, as well as four or five prisoners with a trace of breath in their hands.
Although he couldn't completely annihilate this group of Inhumans, which made Lahok a little regretful, it was not enough for him to order everyone to rashly cross the river and pursue each other!
