Divine Light Warrior

Chapter 509 A piece of darkness

After Li Kaiyang and the others came to the island, they encountered a battle. The battle was very fierce. The local indigenous people surrounded Du Tesheng and the others on the island.

At first, these ships attacked their island, but after arriving on the island, Dutsheng successfully led his tribe to surround each other. Dozens of people fired javelins at each other. As a result, the natives suffered heavy casualties, and Dutsheng The tribesmen under their leadership were not harmed, and they successfully preserved their strength. Under heavy casualties, the indigenous people made a mess of porridge. The leader of the indigenous people, leading his troops, rushed outwards bravely, trying to fight out. A bloody road to escape their siege. These natives are strong and strong. When they compete with the tribesmen on the island, three or five people can't stop them. They use shields to hold them back. The tribesmen pushed outward with all their strength. The tribesmen would retreat if they could not withstand it. Under this disparity in strength, although some of the natives died, the remaining ones were still very brave.

After they broke through a bloody path, they wanted to escape back to their boat and retreat first. However, when they collectively broke through the bloody path, the pursuers followed them. After they maintained a certain distance, they threw javelins at them. The indigenous people of the island shot and killed them, and one can imagine the brutality.

They just ran away without bothering to use their shields to block the flying spears. As a result, countless people were shot, including those who originally came to the island. There were more than a hundred people. After these two rounds of fighting, only thirty or forty people were left dead. It can be said that the tragedy was unspeakable. Dead bodies were everywhere. Of course, their tribesmen were also shot by those who turned around and threw javelins. Several of them died. As long as the javelin penetrated their flesh, there was not much hope of survival, because no one knew what kind of poison was smeared on their javelin guns. Once it rubbed against the skin, they would bleed to death. Li Kaiyang was also the first Once he saw the brutality of war, it seemed that he could not fight, and there would be casualties in fighting. He did not want to see this situation, but it was difficult to resolve.

Soon Li Kaiyang thought that since they had been defeated, they should stop following and killing them. Taking one more life would be a sin, so he quickly persuaded Du Tesheng to stop the attack and let the people retreat quickly. He also found that the opponent's cannon was facing directly. If these people escape for a certain distance and then open a certain safe distance, they may open fire. At that time, the more casualties will be their own.

Li Kaiyang's foresight was very foreboding. When he thought of this, he quickly told Du Tesheng. Du Tesheng suddenly realized this and ordered everyone to retreat quickly. Everyone rushed towards the hiding place like crazy. Escape to the cave.

The team they were escaping from had not gone very far when the opponent's cannon fired. The shells landed not far behind them. If the shells had landed in the crowd, the casualties would have been even more tragic. Fortunately, they were hit by the shells. In front of the body, these people successfully hid back in the cave. Cannons exploded around the cave. The sound was earth-shattering and frightened people into hiding in a corner. The bombardment continued, and the shells hit one after another. On the island, this is probably the earliest and most rudimentary cannon in the West. The cannonballs are so powerful that they explode after being fired. Their cannons are designed very cleverly. After the cannons on one side of the two muzzles are fired, they are reversed, and the other cannon can be fired again. At the same time, the cannon can be loaded with ammunition. Such continuous launches left Li Kaiyang and the others breathless.

They hid in the cave and did not dare to go out again. But this cannon can't keep firing forever. It will stop at some point because the cannonballs are limited. After firing for more than an hour, the cannon stopped.

Everyone on the island heaved a sigh of relief. Someone went out to investigate and found that the indigenous people's ships had already left the island, and their dead and injured bodies had also been cleaned up and carried away. It seems that these people also attach great importance to the corpses of their own people, and they may take them back for proper burial. Dutson did not care about this. He said to the survivors: "We will also bury our dead and wounded brothers. Immediately A good memorial tablet to commemorate them forever. They sacrificed their lives to protect the survival of more people on our island. Do you think we should commemorate them forever?"

Everyone present agreed in unison, so everyone left the cave and started looking for the bodies of the dead and injured. Most of the corpses were dead. Those who were seriously injured and moaning were quickly carried back to the village for treatment. After counting, they probably had casualties. In this battle, more than [-] people died, and hundreds of them died. More than [-] of them died, which is very regrettable.

Li Kaiyang gritted his teeth watching this scene. He hated the indigenous people who should not have acted so rashly and attacked here. He also hated the people on the island. They were so merciless in their attacks. They had already been defeated, but they were still like that. , inhumane killing, watching the javelins shoot into the backs of the indigenous people, directly penetrating them, and the blood spurts out like water swords, that kind of scene is really difficult to describe in words, it is too tragic .

There was red blood everywhere on the beach, which made people shudder. Finally, they were defeated, and they didn’t know if they would come back. At night, Du Tesheng and the little witch called all the tribesmen together for a meeting. Li Kaiyang and the others Four people were also fortunate enough to attend a meeting, and everyone spoke freely together. Although more than twenty people died, they did not seem to be sad at all. They probably had such casualties before, and their achievements were still very great. They captured A lot of spears killed a lot of enemies. Of course, their buildings also suffered some damage. The bombardment by the artillery fire was really terrible, but as long as there are people, they can rebuild. This is not a problem for them. There are many trees on the mountain. , by cutting down more trees, houses can be rebuilt. Li Kaiyang also realized that people have power, so it definitely makes sense to say that you can keep the green hills without fear of running out of firewood.

Now the people in the village are in high spirits, and the big victory makes them full of confidence. Someone said proudly. "I think they haven't dared to come here for a year and a half. If they come again, they will die."

But Dutson didn't think so. He said to the arrogant young man: "My child, you are still very young. You don't know how powerful these indigenous people are. Although they have killed a few people, you know that their group is very large." There are tens of thousands of people on their island, and it doesn’t matter to them if hundreds of people die. Maybe they will attack again tonight, so we must be more vigilant and not take it lightly. Wait for them to sneak onto our island and kill them. People have been slaughtered one by one, and it’s too late for you to regret it. So according to my judgment, no one should be left in the village tonight. Let’s use the empty city strategy to empty our village. Where can we go? To this cave. It's not good to come here, because he already knows that we are hiding, and I'm afraid he will come to harass us in the cave. Human lives are important, and you can't even send a few sentries to guard us. You must find a hidden place to let them We can’t find it, so we can sleep peacefully and see what happens tomorrow.”

Li Kaiyang also felt a little frightened when Du Te said such words. Could it be that the indigenous people are coming again tonight? If they are really coming again, these people are really desperate for their lives. This is similar to a human bomb. They are just risking their lives. Come here, don't their lives come from flesh and blood?

Li Kaiyang thought so in his heart, but he still listened to the patriarch because he had no experience. Mei Ruofan and Gu Xueying were also wondering whether there was something wrong with this person's mind. They had just suffered a huge defeat and were about to come back.

But Xiaolan didn't think so. He also felt that what the old patriarch said was reasonable. These indigenous people were not afraid of death at all, and the death of several people was commonplace for them.

Therefore, it is a must to be prepared, so at night, the old patriarch asked everyone not to bring anything, but only some necessary food. Tonight he will lead the team to a more secluded cave. After spending the night, the little witch knew the location of the cave. As the leader, he led these people to line up in a long snake formation, heading towards a more hidden place in the mountain.

In addition, they left a few people behind and one person every mile to pass the signal, in order to observe the movements of the indigenous people and see if they would come to the island again and send this message back to their hidden caves at all times. , In this way, Dutson arranged it very well. After setting up each checkpoint, the two men asked one of them to observe and the other to deliver the message, and then the large group followed the little witch into the mountains in a zigzag manner.

People often walk on this mountain road. There is a sheep farm path that is clearly marked by foot. After each section, there is a checkpoint and fortifications are in place. This path may be the only passage up the mountain. Every checkpoint is There were more than a dozen people on defense, and they passed through more than a dozen checkpoints before reaching the cave where they wanted to hide. This cave was larger than the cave they hid in for the first time, and the entrance to the cave was covered with dense trees. You I want to find this mouth. You can't find it, and it's absolutely impossible to get in without the guidance of others.

Li Kaiyang followed these people into the cave one by one. It turned out that the cave was very big, and there were already people living in the cave. They had arranged the necessary facilities for people's lives, fresh water, food, and beds for people to sleep. It is said that hundreds of people are arranged here, even one or two thousand people are more than enough. The space is very large.

Li Kaiyang was placed in the corner. There is no bedding, but there is hay. You can lie down on the hay to rest.

The cave is a little damp, but not cold. There are torches on the walls. These torches are replaced at any time to keep the light and not dark.

Xiaolan, Mei Ruofan and Gu Xueying arranged their seats next to Li Kaiyang. Since everyone lived together regardless of gender, the cave was actually quite enjoyable.

There is nothing to talk about when you get here. If you have friends, you can get together with three or five people to talk and no one will care about you, but don’t make any noise. Of course, even if you speak louder, the sound in the cave will be louder. If the message could not be spread, Li Kaiyang thought that they would not be able to find it so deep. They were hidden deep in the mountains, and they could hide very well. Even if those people wanted to search in the mountains, they would have to pass so many checkpoints. May come in.

If they had forced their way in, the news would have come in long ago, and the people in the cave could be prepared.

Li Kaiyang saw that the clan leader Du Tesheng was not far from him. His position was also very close to the little witch's bed. Many clan members lay down to sleep, especially those women with children, and they did not say anything. Just lie down on the bed made of hay and rest on your own. Only a few older people are talking. Or people who are taking care of things outside are talking, as if they are studying what they should do next. Younger and stronger men are near the entrance of the cave. There are about a hundred people. None of them are sleeping. They were sitting on straw mats, ready for action at any time. They all had a gun on their shoulders. No one spoke, but their eyes were fixed on the entrance of the cave, waiting for the person who came in to report the news to send back the information to the outside.

Everything was peaceful in the first half of the night, and no one came back to report, which meant that there was no trouble. In the second half of the night, people gradually fell asleep. Even the young people at the door leaned against the stone wall and took a nap. They closed their eyes, but He kept holding the gun in his arms, not daring to relax at all. Just when everyone thought everything was fine, suddenly a series of rapid footsteps woke Li Kaiyang up.

There were many people who were woken up, including the old patriarch and the little witch. When the little witch heard the sound, she stood up suddenly and waited for the person to report.

The old patriarch was calm and composed. He yawned and leaned against the stone. He sat cross-legged and waited for the man to come back and report. He saw the man running over in a hurry and whispered to the old patriarch uniquely, "It is true that they are coming. After the attack, I saw a dense mass of boats coming over. They haven't landed on the island yet, so they asked me to come back and report first."

What this person reported was not what he heard. It was passed from level to level. The first level passed back by the person above was passed to the second level, and the second level was passed to the third level. When he got here, he was not too far from the cave. After the news came back, he asked the old patriarch to analyze it.

The old patriarch thought for a while, but before he spoke, the second man ran back. This man was very anxious. After coming in, he panted and said to the old patriarch: "There has been a message from above. These people have already arrived on the island. Hei Yaya The blockbusters look like there are thousands if not tens of thousands.”

When the old patriarch heard this, he stood up immediately. There had never been so many people here before. Could it be that they were all out? The old patriarch frowned and looked at the little witch first, and then looked around the cave. There were still people sleeping, thinking that the world was peaceful and there would be no killing, but the young and strong men guarding the door had already woken up. , some people stood up, holding guns in their hands, ready to go out and fight at any time.
