Wang Xinyu asked people to click on the number of their own casualties, and soon the statistical results came out: one person was seriously injured and six people were slightly injured in the Marine Battalion of the Ming Army; Six were killed, seven were seriously wounded, and forty-one were lightly wounded; Twenty-three people died, 19 were seriously injured and 82 were slightly injured.

The reason why the people were so lightly wounded was that they later put on paper armor and fought with the Sulu native soldiers. Although the defensive power of paper armor is not as good as iron armor and wooden armor, it still has a certain effect on the original weapons of the Sulu people, so in the back, the people who joined the battle formation were more lightly injured, and there were not many serious injuries and deaths.

In this era, the seriously wounded and the dead are almost the same, and the seriously injured are left to wait for death.

Outside the mouth of the river also sent a report of the battle, and the big ships engaged the Sulus, and with zero casualties, they achieved the achievement of ramming, sinking hundreds of canoes, and destroying nearly 1,000 enemies.

Wang Xinyu walked into the wounded barracks, only to see wounded soldiers lying in the middle of the barracks, and those who could come here were basically seriously wounded, and they left after bandaging the minor injuries.

The seriously injured soldier of the Marine Battalion of the Marines was hit in the body by a Sulu native soldier with a stone hammer, and the iron armor was smashed into it, and when he was sent here, he vomited blood, and it was estimated that the internal organs were ruptured and bleeding inside, and he was already hopeless. The loss of an elite sailor battalion soldier made Wang Xinyu heartbroken.

In the camp of wounded soldiers, there were wounded soldiers lying in pain, or unconscious. Some of them had their arms cut off by stone axes, some had their stomachs pierced through with spears, and some had their lungs pierced. Those soldiers and people who were injured on their torsos were basically hopeless, and they were only left with the fate of waiting for death. As for those who had broken arms and legs, Wang Xinyu still tried to save their lives.

Simple surgeries can be performed with sterilized knives, and wounds can be disinfected with gunpowder and spirits to avoid infection. But there is no way to transfuse blood in this era, and whether they can survive depends on the creation of these seriously injured people.

Wang Xinyu said to himself: "It seems that we have to set up a special medical team that can perform surgery!" You can recruit some medics. ”

"Ahh A sailor soldier with an injured eye let out a heart-rending scream.

"Hold back!" Wu Haodong lowered his voice and said sternly, "Your right eye must be gouged out!" Otherwise, if you are infected, you will die! ”

The wounded soldier nodded, and someone shoved a piece of cloth into his mouth.

Wu Haodong took out a red-hot knife from the fire, gritted his teeth and stabbed into the wounded soldier's eye, gouging out the injured and necrotic eyeballs.

The wounded soldier convulsed violently, and the shock passed.

"Your Excellency!" Seeing Wang Xinyu walking into the camp, Wu Haodong hurriedly stood up.

"The casualties of the sailors are very large!" Wang Xinyu said bitterly.

Wu Haodong replied: "The armor of the sailor is still a little worse, after all, the sailor can't approve heavy armor!" ”

"The main thing is that the weapons are not sharp enough! If the weapons could be a little more advanced, the officers and men of the naval division would not need any protection at all! But Wang Xinyu changed the topic again, "I heard that there is a kind of rattan armor, which is most suitable for the use of officers and soldiers of the sailors, and the protection is similar to that of iron armor, but it is as buoyant as the wooden armor, and it will not sink after falling into the water." ”

"I've also heard of a kind of rattan armor, but we don't have it here, and I heard that it will only exist in the southwest."

"But I'd rather develop advanced weapons, as long as they have a longer range and more power, the enemy can't get close. Besides, the weapon is powerful, no matter how good the protection is, it is useless, even if you are covered with three layers of iron armor, can you block the shells? ”

Minzhuang lost forty-two people, a loss of more than one percent, which made Wang Xinyu very distressed. I brought these people all the way to open up the land, but before I saw the output, I lost so many people. You must know that these people are the masters of this place in the future. Although the Sulu people died more, the lives of the natives were comparable to those of the civilized? In the future, those who were born were slaves, and these people would be factory owners, farmers, entrepreneurs, and even government officials.

Having learned the lesson of the attack by Sulu Shengfan, Wang Xinyu ordered to build a small camp first, block the surrounding area with a wooden fence, and then go to cut down wood and build an earthen city. In this way, before the completion of the earth city, if they are attacked again, the people can immediately retreat to the camp and hold on, and no one needs to protect them; If the sailors are attacked, the sailors who come ashore can retreat to the camp and hold on, and the sailors on the river can immediately go down the river and retreat to the side of the big ship for protection.

After the camp was repaired, the people cremated the fallen soldiers and the people, and the ashes were to be brought back to the country for burial. Subsequently, the seriously wounded and the urns were sent to the large ship moored outside.

As for the Sulu soldiers who were killed, they were all cremated. The weather is hot in this place, and if the corpses are not disposed of in time, a plague can be triggered. The wounded Sulu soldiers who fell to the ground and struggled were also killed by the people with waist knives and spears, and their bodies were piled up on the wood pile and burned.

All this was done, and it was already dark. Wang Xinyu ordered that except for the soldiers who stayed behind to guard, everyone else slept in the barracks. Bonfires were lit in the barracks as if it were daylight, so as to avoid camp roars.

Wang Xinyu's own soldiers have strict military discipline and have undergone strict training, so it is impossible for the camp to roar, so he leads the troops to fight on weekdays, and at night he extinguishes all the lights in the camp, but lights a bonfire outside the barracks to ensure that the outside is bright and the inside is dark, so that he can not only avoid his barracks from becoming the target of the enemy's attack, but also find the incoming enemy. But now it is different, these people have not undergone strict training, and there is no strict military discipline constraints, and they are prone to camp roaring if they do not light fires.

The next day, Wang Xinyu ordered that the people who cut down trees should be dressed in light paper armor. With this layer of protection, casualties can be reduced in the event of an attack.

Sure enough, the Sulu people sneaked up in the forest.

"I'm here!" The sergeant on guard shouted.

The people left their work one after another and retreated to the barracks surrounded by wooden fences.

However, the Sulu native soldiers, who were hiding in the depths of the jungle, did not attack, but poked their heads in the forest a few times, and then shrank back.

When the alarm was lifted and the people walked up to the construction site again, the Sulu people reappeared, this time with more people, and shot a few arrows at the people who were cutting down trees.

The men had to retreat back to the camp again, and after waiting for a while, the vigilant soldiers noticed that the Sulu were gone, and let them go out to work. But as soon as they walked to the construction site, those annoying Sulu people came out again, harassing them with bows and arrows, and the people who were working were interrupted again, and they reluctantly stopped the work at hand.

"Bang" Wang Xinyu slapped his palm on the table: "Those people are harassing like this, when will our Tucheng be built?" No way! We've got to find a way to teach them a lesson! ”

"My lord, but these creatures are hiding in the jungle and don't come out, what are we going to do?" Li Rui asked.

Wang Xinyu thought for a moment, then turned to Gong Xiaoda and said, "You pick a few sharpshooters, and then arrange at least five or six people for each sharpshooter, who are responsible for loading bullets!" When I got to the edge of the woods, I saw the raw ones coming up, so call me! ”

"No!" Gong Xiaoda stepped back.

Wang Xinyu ordered Lin Rui again: "You bring a long knife soldier and be responsible for protecting the musketeers!" ”

"Whoa!"

The men came out of the camp in twos and threes, walked up to the construction site again, walked into the lumber yard, and began to work.

At this time, the Sulu people appeared in the forest again.

"Don't retreat, do your job! You have paper armor on you, and it's hard to hurt you with a bow and arrow! "Standing beside the people, the pigs and eggs ordered the people who cut down the trees not to disturb.

Those monkeys who were hiding in the trees saw that the people were still cutting down the trees, and did not retreat, so they quickly ran from this tree to the tree, and took off their bows and arrows, and opened their bows and arrows, ready to harass the people who were cutting down trees.

With a bang, a Sulu spurted a bloody sword from his chest and fell from a tree like a killed monkey.

Another shot rang out, and before another Sulu could shoot an arrow, he was shot by a sharpshooter and fell from a tree.

The sharpshooter who had finished firing the bullet handed the flintlock pistol to the back, and the sergeant behind took the empty gun and handed over a loaded flintlock pistol.

Because the range of these Sulu bows and arrows is not far, only thirty or forty meters at most, at such a close distance, sharpshooters use flintlock muskets to shoot, and the accuracy still wants to be high.

The Sulu people shot several arrows and pierced them on the bodies of several people who were working, but they were all blocked by paper armor, and the people with arrows on their bodies were still shouting, pulling the saws and sawing down the trees. The Sulu natives who attacked were killed by the flintlock pistols fired continuously.

The sharpshooters continued to shoot, and none of the Sulu people who came to harass them fled back, and all of them were killed in the woods more than thirty meters away.

The Sulu harassed several times on a small scale, but to no avail, and lost dozens of native soldiers in vain.

The thunderous king of Banshiran ordered a large-scale raid. He believed that as long as he did not rush to the open field, as long as his own people fired arrows in the forest, they could cause casualties to the people and force them to put down their work. As long as there are a few more such attacks, the Ming people will not be able to withstand it and retreat without a fight.

The vigilant soldiers noticed that the Sulu were coming on a large scale and immediately signaled.

The people immediately left their work and retreated to the barracks.

But the attacking Sulu did not chase them out at all, but shot arrows from a distance in the woods, and after being killed by the Ming musketeers and archers, the Sulu retreated.

When the people came out again, the Sulu people attacked again and harassed the people who were working with bows and arrows. Because it was not known if so many Sulu people would rush over, the people were forced to retreat again.

Wang Xinyu quickly came up with a way to deal with it: "First use a wooden fence to fence off a small forest area that needs to be cut down, and set up tiger squat cannons and light Franco machine guns behind it, musketeers and archers are on standby, if they dare to attack on a large scale, give them color and see!" The people who dug the trenches to build the earthen castle were in a straight line with the people who cut down the trees, so that they could also be protected by the wooden fence. ”

There was a wooden fence in the way, and even if the Sulus wanted to attack, they couldn't rush so quickly.

Sure enough, when the Sulu people launched another large-scale attack, they were bombarded by tiger squat cannons and light Franc machines, and were killed by a row of guns and several rows of random arrows. And the bows and arrows they shot were stopped by the wooden fence, and not even a single citizen was hurt. The Sulu people were hit by heavy fire, leaving behind dozens of corpses and fleeing back into the forest.
