Chapter 40: Killing
Wang Xinyu couldn't understand the indigenous language, but when he heard someone shouting, he knew that Shengfan must have discovered him. He immediately ordered: "Fire!" ”
Before Wang Xinyu gave the order, Liu Qi and those family members were not slow at all, and fifty flintlock muskets opened fire at the same time, and suddenly white smoke filled the air, and the scene was very spectacular. The muzzle of the gun was pointed at the place, and three natives who were running towards the gate of the village fell in response.
But there were still natives rushing out from behind, preparing to move the rolling wood and stones, and at this time, Liu Qi's family members had no bullets to fire, and they were all busy loading ammunition.
The experience is still insufficient, and if you want to shoot in three stages, none of the natives can get close! Wang Xinyu thought to himself.
There was no way to count on Liu Qi's family with long-range firepower, Wang Xinyu gave an order, and his fifty sailors came up and divided into five rows, one row after another took turns firing, the gunfire was endless, and fifty meters away at the gate of the wall, Sulu Shengfan, who was trying to block the gate of the village, sprayed a dazzling blood mist one after another, and fell in a pool of blood.
Fifty of his own soldiers who acted as archers played a role in making up for the firepower, and those who escaped the net were all killed by them with bows and arrows.
Feather arrows continued to burrow into the walled gate, and the arrows fired by these soldiers were fierce and accurate, and each arrow took a life.
Ah Jiang was tied up in a grass hut, and since he was arrested by Shengfan yesterday morning, those Shengfan gave him a sip of water to drink, not even a bite to eat, and he was beaten a lot, and he had already been tortured to the point that he was completely decent, and he was unconscious. Beside him, there were five captive Han women, who had already been tortured to death. Several of them knew what fate awaited them. Because just now, Ah Jiang saw with his own eyes that Shengfan outside disemboweled two Han women who were tortured to death and roasted them on the fire. And those Han children who were killed were roasted by these raw pans last night and eaten as dinner.
"The sound of firecrackers!" Ah Jiang was overjoyed. The sound of the firecracker, except for the sound of those Tessie's self-made firecrackers at the beginning, followed by the sound of the Ming army's bird's gun. Ajiang shouted: "We are saved!" Someone came to our rescue! ”
A Jiang's real name is Jiang Zhiping, and he was originally a Ming soldier of the Zhejiang Army. Last year, Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition failed, and he could not see the hope of recovering the country, and he was unwilling to surrender to the Manchus. Later, he heard that there were many Han people in Borneo, and they did not need to shave their hair to make it easy to wear, so he brought his mother and young siblings to Borneo. After arriving here, I found that there was a lot of land here, and it was like I didn't need money, so I developed it myself. Jiang Zhiping thought that he had come to a paradise. Who knew that there were so many terrible barbarians living on the island of Borneo! Now that he heard the sound of birds shooting again, Jiang Zhiping, who was tormented to the point of confusion, felt in a daze that he was back in the Ming army......
Hearing the gunshots, the five women, who were already in despair, saw hope of living again.
"Someone! Help us! A woman shouted.
At this time, those students outside didn't have time to take care of these captives.
The tribes of Putra, one of the most powerful tribes in Mandor, are strong because each of them is brave and the bravest. Hearing the gunshots, Putra knew that it was the kind of iron pipe that could breathe fire, and at this time it was too late to block the cottage door, and he shouted: "Don't worry! It's a white-skinned pig! Bring them in and kill! ”
All the Sulu men grabbed their spears and bows, and even women, old people, and children grabbed their weapons.
A hundred Spanish halberders had already rushed into the village, their fine plate armor shining with silver light, and the halberds of one foot and three feet long formed a forest of spears.
"Sure enough, it's a white-skinned pig! Shoot the arrows! Putra shouted.
Hiding behind the grass hut and wooden house, Sulu Shengfan shot arrows in his hands one after another.
Arrows rained down, arrows made of animal bones, shot on the plate armor, only a "clanging" sound was heard, and the Spanish halberd soldiers were unscathed. They marched forward in a neat formation, and the halberds in their hands stabbed forward one after another, picking out the Sulu Shengfan who was hiding on the roof. The halberd pierced the grass shed, and Sulu Shengban, who was hiding inside, was pierced in half.
Wang Xinyu's own soldiers who followed behind also fired arrows to suppress them, and many Sulu people were hit by arrows, screaming and falling from trees and rolling down from rooftops.
At this time, the family members led by Liu Qi had also rushed into the cottage and shot freely with flintlock pistols, just like shooting targets, killing Sulu Shengfan one by one.
The sailors who wielded arquebuses and waist knives also came in, and in close combat, they dropped their inconvenient arquebuses, drew their waist knives, and slashed everywhere.
Liu Qi was armed with a flint short gun and shot a Sulu Shengfan who was holding a spear and rushed over. The guy had already rushed five meters in front of him, Liu Qi saw the man's hideous face, blood-red eyes, opened his mouth and screamed "wow", revealing a mouthful of white teeth. He decisively aimed at Shengfan's face door and pulled the trigger, only to hear a gunshot, the hideous face suddenly exploded, the right eye turned into a big hole, and Bai Huahua's brain and blood burst out and sprayed on the trunk of the tree on the side.
"I've killed a life too!" Seeing that the other party fell unwillingly, Liu Qi nervously took out the paper bullet case, wanted to open the paper skin, and nervously loaded the flintlock short handcuff with bullets.
At this time, another student suddenly rushed out and stabbed Liu Qi with a spear.
Liu Qi didn't have time to reload the bullet at all, and the short gun in his hand turned into a burning stick at this time, and he couldn't resist the spear that stabbed at him.
Seeing that Liu Qi was about to die under the spear, at this moment, a katana sword with a cold light stretched out from the side and cut the spear violently. Then the man slashed the Sulu in two.
"It's Li Rui!" Liu Qi turned his head and looked at the same.
Wang Xinyu also personally joined the battle group, he inserted two short flint guns into his waist, showed the iron tire bow, and constantly opened the bow and arrows, and every time the wolf's tooth arrow was shot, there was an indigenous person who was killed by the iron arrow.
The Spaniards' halberds, like humanoid tanks, crushed back and forth in the cottage. The halberd stabbed out like the core of a viper, penetrating the wooden houses and grass huts, killing the Sulu inside. There were even some grass huts that were directly overturned by them, and the Sulu people hiding inside came out to flee for their lives, and were ruthlessly pierced through the body by several halberds.
"There are not only white-skinned pigs, but also Han people! Those cowardly Han Chinese! When did they get together with the white pigs? In desperation, Putra found that the Han people, who were usually like lambs, today each became a bloodthirsty wolf, killing his people one by one.
This is simply a one-sided massacre, the Ming army is wearing armor and holding sharp weapons; The Sulu people did not even have clothes, and they had primitive weapons in their hands. Even the best-equipped Putra and his three personal warriors wore only animal skins and three short short swords. The spears and bows and arrows in the hands of the Sulu people could not kill the Ming army at all. And the muskets, bows and arrows, halberds and steel knives of the Ming army could easily take the lives of the Sulus.
At this time, one of Putra's personal warriors had been hit by three sharp arrows and two bullets, and he was unable to survive.
Another close-fitting samurai shouted, brandishing his dagger and charging at his opponent.
The Spanish officer, whose name had been changed to Wang Defeng, glanced at the Sulu warrior with a look of pity in his eyes.
"Thorn!" Wang Defeng roared.
More than a dozen halberds stabbed out like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, the most capable Sulu warrior turned into a sieve and fell in a pool of blood, and the blood holes all over his body were still "poofing" and bubbling with blood.
The last Sulu warrior dressed in animal skins rushed to the Ming army and was chopped into meat with steel knives by a group of Ming soldiers.
"Yikes!" Putra stared at the blood-red eyes, and rushed towards the Ming army with the last eleven Sulu Shengfan.
Liu Qi's family had already been loaded, and fifty flintlock pistols were pointed at these Sulu Shengfan, who had made a last-ditch effort. Just when the Sulu people rushed to twenty meters away, Liu Qi gave an order: "Let go!" ”
The muzzle of the flintlock pistol erupted with fire, white smoke filled the air, and bullets rained down on Putra and his warriors.
The smoke had cleared, and most of the Sulu had fallen, leaving Putra and the two Shengfan still standing, but they already had several blood holes in their bodies.
"Put!" Wang Xinyu roared.
A volley of arrows was fired, and Putra and the two Shengfan were shot into hedgehogs.
Almost all the young men were killed, and only the old men, women, and children of the tribe were left in Sulu. In front of those invulnerable opponents, they don't see a glimmer of hope of victory. In order to save their lives, these women, children, old and weak, put down their weapons one after another, knelt on the ground, and surrendered to the Ming army.
In the grass shed, Jiang Zhiping and the five poor women who were arrested had already been rescued.
In the face of these surrendered Sulu students, Wang Xinyu thought in his heart: the Nanyang Company will be established soon, and the company's headquarters will be located in East Borneo in the future, where mines will be mined, forests will be cut, roads and wharves will be built, and plantations will be built, all of which will require slaves. You can't let the Chinese be slaves, right? These natives are the best slaves. But these people are old, the little ones are small, the old ones are useless, and the little ones have to waste food to feed them. Now his own food is precious, and it is impossible to feed useless captives.
What to do? Just when Wang Xinyu was thinking about how to deal with these captives, Wang Defeng stepped forward and said in a blunt Hokkien dialect: "Boss, it's useless for these people to stay, according to my suggestion, kill all the men!" A woman can be sold to Java and become a widow in the Sultanate over there! ”
Wang Xinyu was stunned: "These black and ugly women, who else wants?" I saw that they were all losing their appetites. ”
Wang Defeng showed a weird smile on his face: "The Sultanate over there all believe in Muslims, and their own women can't engage in this kind of profession, but it doesn't matter if you use outsiders as **!" Don't look at these ugly women, those Dutch who have been adrift at sea for a long time are not picky eaters! ”
Wang Xinyu nodded: "That's good!" Kill all the old men and the little boys! Woman stays! ”
As soon as this order was given, except for the Spaniards, the Ming army and Liu Qi's family members were stunned.
"General, we Han people have been educated in benevolence, righteousness and morality since childhood, and we can't slaughter these defenseless old people and children!" Liu Qi came up and said.
Several soldiers also said: "General, we are not beasts, we can't slaughter old people and children!" ”
"Beasts? Look at our fellow citizens! Wang Xinyu pointed to the dying Jiang Zhiping and the five Han women, and then pointed to the Sulu Shengfan who surrendered, "Look at these cannibals again!" They kill our old people just for fun! They killed our little ones and ate their flesh! They snatch our women, ravage mercilessly, and then kill! When these barbarians do these things, do you say they are human or beasts? Those old people, can you guarantee that they didn't massacre us Han people when they were young? Those children, can you guarantee that when they grow up, they will forget the hatred they have been killed by us today? Only by killing all their men can the hatred disappear! ”
With Wang Xinyu's order, all the old men and boys in Sulu's life were pulled out.
"Execution!" Li Rui roared.
A neat row of steel knives was chopped down, and Sulu Shengfan's heads fell to the ground one after another.
Disposing of the captives, Wang Xinyu led people to search the tribal cottage and look for the loot.
In the tribe, there is actually a lot of gold! Because the island of Borneo, which is now Kalimantan, is rich in gold, many barbarians have a lot of gold in their hands.
In addition to gold, there are also some grain, salt, cloth, ceramics, iron farming tools, and some bronze tools that these people stole from the Han Chinese.
Gold, bronze, iron farming tools, and intact grain were ordered to be removed by Wang Xinyu. The rest of the rags, the ceramics with the horns missing, the moldy grain, and the salt were all left.
Wang Xinyu called someone to call the eighth year of junior high school, and he asked Liu Qi to tell the eighth day of junior high school: "Your performance is very good!" The grain, the ceramics, the cloth, and the salt, are all your spoils! You can tell your people to move these things back! ”
Chu Ba listened to Liu Qi's words, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wang Xinyu again and again: "Respected General Mingguo!" Thank you for treating our people so well! ”
I didn't expect that the garbage I didn't want would become a treasure in the eyes of these indigenous acquaintances! Wang Xinyu said with a smile: "As long as you cooperate with us in the future, you will have more opportunities to make a fortune!" In the future, our plantations, mines, factories, all need workers! You can come and do things for us, and we will give you more rewards! ”
