Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 819

Colonial rule was unpopular wherever it was found, even in slavish India.The Dutch and the Spaniards invaded and occupied Taiwan, wantonly plundered Taiwan’s mineral resources, timber, land, and even a little bit of sugar produced in Taiwan. For this reason, they massacred and expelled the aborigines. Whether it is the mountain people or the mainland immigrants living in the coastal plains, they all hate them.Now that Shi Tianbao ascended the heights, there was a crowd of people responding immediately. Not only the young and strong ethnic groups in the high mountains in Tainan came here after hearing the news, but even the mainland immigrants who had always been regarded as weak and deceitful also tried their best to come to the valley. Pulled up a team of nearly 800 people.

In that paradise-like valley, a total of ten tribal leaders from Atayal, Sediq, Puyuma, Yami and other ethnic groups held a blood alliance with Shi Tianbao. Wrist, let your own blood drip into the blood of the cow, dip your finger in the blood and press your fingerprint on the covenant, and swear to the sky: "From now on, I will abandon the past, work together, drive out Xiyi, live and die together, Surrender to the Xiyi or collude with the Xiyi, and the gods will be outraged, the whole family will be punished, and you will not be allowed to enter the ancestral home after death!"

Then Shi Tianbao presented ten Atayal knives made of high-carbon steel to the ten tribal leaders, giving them the right to command.Five hundred rifles and more than 2000 grenades were also distributed, and the scouts taught them how to use these weapons hand in hand.Rifles are okay. In the mountains of Taiwan, every tribe has a few firecrackers. Everyone knows it, that is, from an arquebus to a flintlock, and it’s just an extra triangular army thorn.However, it takes a little effort to learn the grenades, because these grenades are filled with picric acid explosives, which are too powerful. The absolute killing radius is seven meters, but in fact it is very dangerous to be 35 meters away from the explosion point. Some shrapnel fly out 100 meters. Midu is still lethal, and it's no joke to get hit.Given the well-trained Heluo new army, they were still terrified every time they practiced bombing, and accidents happened frequently, let alone the aborigines who had never dealt with firearms higher than firearms.For a while, Shi Tianbao also found it difficult for them to master the skill of throwing grenades. He could only repeatedly remind them to find cover first when throwing grenades, such as a wall or a tree. Throwing, which can effectively reduce the chance of being accidentally injured by shrapnel.The scouts went a step further, teaching these hunters to shorten the fuse of the grenade, and tie a pull ring with a thin rope to turn the grenade into a thunder that hunters often use when hunting large beasts, which is used to blow up two legs the beast.It has to be said that the hunter doesn't pay much attention to bomb-dropping training, but he is very interested in the skills of setting booby traps, and he is very enthusiastic about learning.

Seven days later, when the training was almost done, Shi Tianbao divided the 800 people into [-] teams and began to trouble the Dutch.

The first to suffer was the Qitianling logging camp of the neighboring Narutou tribe.It was originally a dense forest, covered with towering trees, some of which had grown for thousands of years, and was regarded as a holy place by the Atayal people.However, the damned Dutch expelled the Atayal people, took the place as their own, and cut down the trees wantonly. Those ancient trees that had grown for more than 100 years were used by them to build ships, and the lesser ones were used to build camps and houses. , the Atayal people failed to recapture the forest farm after several attacks. Not only the Bainiupo Society, but also the entire Atayal people regarded it as a great shame.Under the strong request of the Atayal people, Shi Tianbao listed the Qitianling logging camp as the primary target. He found that there were 21 Dutch soldiers stationed in the logging camp, and there were strong camps. A strong attack may cause greater casualties , so decided to outsmart.

On a misty morning, two Saiyami huntresses staggered across the intersection of the lumber camp carrying a wild boar, which immediately attracted the attention of the Dutch soldiers.You must know that the two female hunters of the Yami tribe are both beauties, with strong bodies, pretty yet wild looks, and brightly colored clothes. The wild boar that took a lot of effort to hunt was also huge. Surprisingly, it weighs more than 300 kilograms. No matter which one they are, they are enough to attract attention.The eyes of more than a dozen Dutch soldiers were bright, and they said in their hearts that things were better now. Pork and beauties were automatically delivered to their doorsteps. Where could such a good thing be found?Maybe they really didn't regard the aborigines as human beings, so they didn't even have to bargain, and just rushed out and grabbed them.The two Yami huntresses screamed in fright, dropped the wild boar and ran away.The Dutch, who were already obsessed with collective semen, were not willing to let them go. They gave chase with a strange smile and followed the two Yamei huntresses who were running like flying on the steep mountains into a forest near the forest farm.

Then, after a scream, the heads of a dozen Dutch soldiers became trophies hanging from the waists of the hunters.

Then, dozens of Atayal hunters covered in black, armed with rifles and steel knives hanging from their waists, rushed into the logging camp like a tiger descending a mountain. The remaining six Dutch soldiers moved their heads before they knew what happened.The Atayals fought several times but failed to take back the forest farm. Shi Tianbao took it down with a little trick. None of the 22 Dutch soldiers were spared, while only three of the Yami and Atayal fighters who participated in the battle were slightly injured. One rushed too hard and sprained himself.

Over there, the Sediq warriors were also covered in smears, and they approached the road twenty miles away from Chixian City by night, and lurked quietly.Early the next morning, a small group of Dutch soldiers appeared in front of them, escorting six carriages. The Dutch soldiers saw God in a daze. The large amount of gunpowder, flour, fine wine and more than 100 flintlock guns and more than 2000 rounds of lead bullets loaded on six carriages became trophies.

The two attacks resulted in the death of more than 30 Dutch soldiers. Kui Yi was shocked and ordered the troops stationed in various places to strengthen their vigilance.However, it was of no use. The rebels were out of control and attacked the Dutch mountain stations everywhere. They set up ambushes on the road to ambush passing convoys and small groups of Dutch troops. They hit and ran, coming and going like the wind, causing The Dutch are restless.In just one week, six logging camps, two mines, and three farms were destroyed, resulting in the deaths of more than 100 Dutch soldiers and their servants.The roads are even worse. The flat concrete roads that were originally the Dutch's hope for developing the Tainan area have now turned into shooting ranges. Within a week, 21 ambush attacks occurred on the highways, an average of three times a day, causing great harm to the Dutch. Regardless of the magnitude of the losses, the fear of being shot or even losing your head at any time while walking on the road is enough for the Dutch.The security situation in Tainan has deteriorated rapidly. There are beacon fires all over the city outside Taiwan City and Chichan City. Although the fortresses have not been attacked yet, everyone is in danger and is frightened overnight.

Shi Tianbao thought the fire wasn't hot enough, so he decided to pour another big barrel of oil on Governor Kuiyi's anger.On July 60th, he personally led forty warriors to sneak into a Dutch barracks outside the city. First, he fired poisonous stabs with a small crossbow to kill the sentries, and then released ether from house to house, killing more than 64 Dutch soldiers. They were all unconscious, and then dragged out and beheaded one by one. Of the [-] soldiers in the entire barracks, only two lucky ones who happened to have diarrhea and ran to the latrine during the attack survived, and the others all became ghosts under the knife.

This massacre shocked the entire Tainan area. In a rage, Governor Kuiyi sent 1000 or 100 people to the mountainous area. He had had enough. He vowed to wipe out all the tribes in the southern mountainous area of ​​the platform, and kill those who dared to fight against him. Pull them all out and fry them to their bones!He has confidence in his army. More than [-] Spanish expeditionary forces destroyed the huge Inca Empire. He dispatched ten times as many troops as the Spaniards, more than enough to deal with a group of barbarians!
However, the cruel reality gave him a hard blow, which made him dizzy.

1000 or 1000 Dutch soldiers is a desperate number for the aborigines of Taiwan. Let alone 120 or [-] soldiers, even if it is [-], they may not be able to win.However, the rebel army is very calm now. They believe that the Miao officer who came from the mainland will definitely lead them to defeat these western barbarians.

Shi Tianbao did not disappoint them. He sent all 38 scouts to act as the officers of the rebel army. Each of them led two No. 30 people, using the terrain to attack the Dutch, and shot the Dutch when they had the opportunity. Or shoot them an arrow, then go into the woods and get away.After entering the forest, these alpine hunters are in the world, and the Dutch can't catch up, so they can only be beaten passively.Lieutenant Colonel Adnan, who commanded the sweeping army, was quite worried about this, and asked Kui Yi to conscript civilians to build a road in the mountains so that his army could mobilize and supply, but this reasonable request was rejected by the furious Kui Yi, who demanded He has to wipe out the tribes participating in the riots in Nanshan District of the platform within five days, otherwise he will be dismissed!The coach lost his mind, and Adnan couldn't tell what he was suffering. At this time, someone reported that the main force of the rebel army was in Yau Ma Creek. Adnan was overjoyed and left more than 100 wounded and sick soldiers to guard the camp. Lead nearly a thousand horses and horses to rush straight to Yau Ma Creek!

Being constantly harassed along the way is annoying.However, this increasingly frequent harassment made Lieutenant Colonel Adnan even more convinced that the home of the rebels was indeed in Yau Ma Creek, and he rushed towards Yau Ma Creek in spite of everything!
After two days and one night of rapid travel, we finally arrived at our destination.However, looking at the dead land in front of him with high mountains, dense forests, dense bamboo, thick grass, Senior Colonel Adnan's heart sank for a while, and then looked at the informant guide, oh, this kid is jumping around in the steep slopes and dense forests like a yellow stick Swish, swish and disappear.The lieutenant colonel turned pale with fright and shouted: "Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

What responded to him was the sound of gunshots like popping beans and the roar of earth cannons. The dense rain of bullets hit from all directions, mixed with hail of hand grenades, and the Dutch soldiers who were caught off guard fell in pieces.Knowing that something was wrong, Adnan shouted for retreat, and the Dutch army retreated quickly instead of the front team. However, more dense bullets and arrow rain were fired from behind, and some aborigines who did not have rifles and bows condescendingly threw javelins and grenades at them. Those naughty boys who were no taller than a flintlock rifle with a bayonet also swung their slings and threw stone bullets at the Dutch soldiers, aiming to greet them in the face.Not to mention, the shot was really accurate, as if it had eyes. The Dutch soldier who was hit fell to the ground and wailed, covering the bloody wound on his face.Even more terrifying than these things are the ubiquitous booby traps and traps. Only a small part of those booby traps are made of grenades, and most of them are made of clay pots filled with explosives and iron sand. Once they are detonated, they will explode. Not many died, but a lot of wounded.As for the traps, there are more traps. The ground traps are filled with bamboo sticks, and if they fall, they are finished. The ground crossbow is propped on the ground, and an arrow coated with poison will shoot at it when it touches it. There are also elastic traps, falling rock traps, and sharp knife traps. ...Dutch soldiers continued to be attacked, wailing in despair.

Even more terrifying than these traps were the more than 30 scouts brought by Shi Tianbao.In this chaotic battlefield, they looked extraordinarily calm. They fired at the legs of Dutch soldiers with rifled flintlock guns. As soon as the shot passed, a Dutch soldier fell to the ground and wailed while clutching his muscular thighs.If someone came to save them, they didn't shoot them. They just changed their target and shot them in the leg, so as not to kill them.With the sound of gunshots, the number of wounded in the Dutch army rose sharply. The bloody wounds and heart-piercing screams brought the morale of the Dutch army below freezing. However, the food was being consumed at a rapid rate, and soon, the battle turned into a terrible massacre.

The massacre of the aborigines against the Dutch army!

Lieutenant Colonel Adnan found that no matter where they withdrew, the rebels always followed him. He realized in despair that it would be an impossible task to get rid of their pursuit in the mountainous area. The line of defense was ready to hold on, and at the same time, capable men were dispatched to try to break through the encirclement and ask Kuiyi for help.However, the company sent several groups, none of which escaped the pursuit of the rebels. Shortly after departure, they turned into bloody heads and were thrown back to their positions by the rebels.What's more terrible is that the ammunition and food of the Dutch are not enough to hold on, and there are hundreds of wounded.Lieutenant Colonel Adnan realized that his troops had lost the conditions to stand firm and wait for help. In desperation, he abandoned the wounded and took the night to break out of the encirclement quietly.The desperate cries of the wounded who were abandoned alarmed the rebels. Shi Tianbao did not hesitate to ignore the wounded, and led the troops to pursue Adnan fiercely, keeping with them for half an hour, constantly attacking their After breaking up the troops, they will eat one when they encounter one. If Adnan gets angry and wants to turn around and fight him, he will stop chasing immediately.From Adnan down, the entire Dutch army almost drove him crazy, and soon no one had the courage to stay behind, and they were all scrambling to escape. In the mountains, they couldn't outrun the aboriginal hunters, but as long as they ran Outrun their companions faster, and they'll have the hope of surviving!

An army that has reached this point is not far from being destroyed.

Finally, after two days and two nights of hard fighting, Adnan finally broke out of the siege. At this time, there were less than 200 Dutch soldiers still alive with him.In the camp where he stayed behind, he suffered another violent blow--not long after he led the main force to set off, the rebels bloodbathed his camp, sweeping away more than 100 Dutch soldiers who stayed behind, and then laid out The trap is waiting for him to fall into the trap.After discovering that his camp had fallen into enemy hands, Adnan almost collapsed. Now they had no ammunition at all and could only fight the rebels with empty guns.Shi Tianbao then caught up with them and surrounded them. This was the most tragic battle Lieutenant Colonel Adnan had ever fought. Due to exhaustion of physical strength and extreme lack of ammunition, there were more than 200 people in the army that originally had nearly 130 people. As a prisoner, he managed to escape with only about twenty people.He was attacked again and again along the way. In the end, only one guard was left beside the lieutenant colonel who had the misfortune to end up at his grandma's house. The two of them supported each other and stumbled back to Chikan City to report to Governor Kui Yi.

The Battle of Yau Ma Creek came to an end. In this battle, Shi Tianbao commanded well, and used tactics such as wolf attack, cold gun, night attack, time, ambush, and outflanking with ease. He mobilized the enemy army as he wanted to mobilize his own army. , led the Dutch army to the preset battlefield without any trouble, and gave it a head-on blow. The 100 Dutch army was wiped out. Lieutenant Colonel Adnan only escaped with his own life, and the rebels suffered less casualties in this battle. [-] people is not so much a battle as a massacre.

The whole of Taiwan was shocked, and the word "Shi Tianbao" became a lingering nightmare for the Dutch, making them jittery, terrified, and terrified.This great victory made Taiwan's aborigines realize the weakness of the colonists. The flames of resistance swept across Taiwan like a prairie fire. The Dutch and Spaniards were frightened and huddled in the fortress. They didn't dare to leave the fortress at all, but even so, they were still attacked constantly, and people were constantly beheaded or blown to pieces by a dynamite bag.

In late July, the Dunley Navy sent two more transport ships over, secretly bringing more than 800 rifles, 40 barrels of granular gunpowder, 92 rounds of ammunition and [-] hand grenades to the rebels.An artillery team of more than [-] people also entered Taiwan with the ship, bringing eight [-]mm lightning cannons and a large number of shells. They will cooperate with the rebels to attack those fortresses with relatively weak defenses.

At this moment, the Dutch and Spaniards were not safe even hiding in the fortress. From Tainan to Taipei, there were rebel activities everywhere, and the Dutch and Spaniards could not find peace for a moment.

However, it doesn't matter, this situation will not last for too long, and soon they will be able to rest in peace.
