Zhen Juan 1 Sleepy Shoal 747 Under Deng Youzhang's command, there are doctors and carpenters.
Carpenters are especially valued, and several aboriginal orphans were given to carpenters as apprentices.
The various tools of the carpenter come from the ship. As long as there are enough people and enough wood, another dock can be built, and the boat can even be repaired. Because the carpenter on board was originally responsible for repairing and maintaining the ship, so that the severely damaged ship could sail to the nearest shipyard.
With the efforts of carpenters, they have produced plows, and plowing has evolved from manpower to animal power.
It's a pity that there is no blacksmith, and there is no iron ore nearby. The plowshare can only be ground with stones, and the chain is easy to fall off when plowing.
As a means of transportation, more than a dozen wheelbarrows were produced due to the existence of carpenters.
?One hundred troops set out, and more than one hundred civilians helped to transport food. Most of these folk husbands are indigenous women, and the lack of manpower can only be arranged in this way.
After more than ten days of stop and go, Deng Youzhang ordered to stop the march when he was about to approach the goal.
It wasn't until night fell that all the staff set out again in black, each carrying several simple torches.
This semi-nomadic tribe is relatively large, with an estimated population of nearly a thousand. They live by a small river, and many crops are planted on both sides.
The house is similar to a yurt, with wood as a support, and then cow and sheep skins are draped on it. On top of the cow and sheep skin, some hay was spread to prevent the skin from being exposed to direct sunlight.
The livestock are kept in pens after dark, all in the open air, only fenced with wood.
The treatment of slaves is similar to that of cattle and sheep, but at least they have a roof to protect them from the rain.
Half of the one hundred army and more than one hundred grain transporters crossed the river downstream.
The river is very shallow, only reaching the waist, and you can walk across it.
These semi-nomadic natives were defenseless at night, and all had fallen asleep, and they didn't even know that the intruders lit the torches.
The soldiers raised their torches and touched them, while the civilian husband stayed on the periphery, and inserted the extra torches that were lit on the ground at intervals.
"Boom boom boom!"
In the silent night, bursts of drums suddenly sounded.
Deng Youzhang cursed in a low voice: "Damn, these aborigines are so stupid, they agreed to set fire to the house and then beat the drum!" He didn't care much, and said to the herald beside him, "Blow the horn and attack!"
More than a dozen aborigines beat the leather drums used for dancing.
The rest of the natives, each holding torches in both hands, stood outside, waving and shouting, and a large number of torches were burning on the nearby ground.
The Han soldiers held torches and shouted to kill them. When they got close to the house, they lit the fire and quickly ignited the hay covered in the outer layer.
The tribe native who was attacked suddenly woke up from his dream, and hurriedly ran outside the house with a weapon. They saw many torches all around, shouts came from all sides, and several houses in the village were also on fire.
Cowardly, take your family and run away in panic.
The brave ones raised their weapons and charged indiscriminately, not even knowing where to fight.
However, one hundred Han soldiers were divided into four teams, and they set fire to the houses in an orderly manner, and immediately cooperated with the attack when encountering the enemy.
In order to save gunpowder, guns were not used.
?It is enough to rely solely on strategy and organizational strength. It is obvious that less is used to fight more, but when it comes to local battlefields, more than a dozen Han soldiers always join hands to surround and kill a few aboriginals.
The aborigines were killed and fled in all directions. They didn't know where there were enemies, so they completely relied on instinct and ran towards the direction without torches.
Busy in the middle of the night, the sky is getting brighter.
For a night attack of this level, you can attack the Tartars, let alone a group of aborigines. None of the Han soldiers, including the aborigines, were injured.
However, this tribe of nearly a thousand people was crushed and defeated, and most of them fled in the dark.
? 153 ??women were captured, 26 men were captured, 82 children were captured, and 74 male and female slaves were rescued. The grain seized was not much, but there were more than 1,700 cattle and sheep, and two bronze spears were also seized.
"Do you want to take the captive man back? I'm afraid there is a hidden danger of rebellion." He Wenpeng asked.
Deng Youzhang said: "I can't let it go, can I?"
He Wenpeng said: "The Datong army is not allowed to kill prisoners. Even here, some rules can't be broken. Once the rules are broken, people's hearts will not be easy to gather. Sooner or later we will become like Tartars. Today's night attack is already very brutal. If you have no grudges or grievances, come to arrest people and rob food, we will soon become bandits."
Deng Youzhang sighed and said: "Brother He, do you think I want to be a bandit? There are barbarians everywhere here, and we have few people. We must grow as soon as possible."
He Wenpeng was silent for a while, then let out a mouthfulTian Li returned to the team urgently.
Deng Youzhang was very depressed. He still planned to hide in the ravine to farm. He never thought that he would provoke enemies for no reason.
Outside the village, a wooden wall has been built, which is actually a wooden fence to guard against wild animals.
?Forty men were sent around to ambush on the mountain. Deng Youzhang led the remaining soldiers to guard the village, and the three cannons brought from the boat were also dragged out.
Prince Haru led his troops to the outside of the village, but instead of attacking immediately, he sent someone over to shout.
"We are the army of the God King. Under the sky and within the land, it is the land of the God King. You must be loyal to the God King. Immediately hand over ten men and ten women as slaves loyal to the God King. And this Planting clothevery time you go through the rainy season, you have to hand over enough cloth as a tribute to the god king"
This guy talked a lot, some special terms, Deng Youzhang couldn't understand at all.
The man finally said: "If you don't obey the rule of the god king, your village will be burned, your men will be killed, and your women will be captured!"
Deng Youzhang found that the other party had finished speaking and did not reveal anything more, so he smacked his lips and said, "Let's fire."
