Chapter 1445: Expressions Betrayed You

After discovering they were being ambushed, the Soldiers of the Wulengebu immediately launched a counterattack, but where were their enemies? They could not see them, only feeling that their tribesmen were dying one after another, as if from above their heads!

They looked up, and sure enough, there were people standing in the treetops. Thus, without the slightest hesitation, some savages began to climb the large trees. Although the trees were thick, their soles were rough enough, their hands were rough enough, and their arm spans were relatively long. They bit their Weapons in their mouths and began to climb; it could be said there was not a hint of hesitation.

After the Huaxia Soldiers discovered this, they hurriedly took out their Fire Tinder, blew it alight in a few movements, lit a Bomb, and threw it down. While dodging, they were also loading Arrows onto their Crossbows and drawing the strings; they had to keep attacking continuously.

The explosion immediately caused casualties over a wide area because they were crowded together very densely, making the effect of the Bomb even better. Bosa was also wounded by the Bomb; he felt something stuck in the bones of his chest, a burning, stinging pain, and he fell down. At this moment, he did not even have the ability to stand up, because this time, the Soldiers did not have his ritual blessing, nor the protection of the Tiger God, and they were extremely terrified, especially in such a dim environment where such bright light suddenly erupted; Bosa was also terrified to the extreme.

This meant the Soldiers were like headless flies, rushing around everywhere, having lost all discipline, not knowing what they were supposed to do, bumping into Bosa so that he could not even stand up.

Seeing that the effect of the Bombs was so good, the Huaxia Soldiers directly began to continue throwing Bombs, using Crossbows to shoot those savages who wanted to climb up.

Bosa could not stand it anymore and began to roar: "Charge their camp! Charge toward where there is fire!"

The Huaxia Soldiers could not understand a word he said, but they vaguely felt that after someone shouted like that, these savages seemed to have some discipline and a goal, and began to run in the direction of the camp. The one who had just shouted must be their Leader, but in this pitch-black darkness, it was impossible to find the person.

The camp side was already prepared and waiting, but it seemed the effect of the ambush was excellent; the Bombs had already sounded so many times, yet they had not seen the enemy rush out. Their heavy casualties were certain, but it was just unclear how many enemies there were this time, and whether the Bombs and Arrows they carried would be enough.

Now, these people of theirs could not enter the fray, as it would be easy to cause friendly fire. Here, they could still rely on Bow and Crossbows to cause more attacks, and the effect would be much better.

They saw people in their field of vision, and they looked very frantic, rushing out in the direction of the camp. The Regimental Commander waited for the numbers to increase and the distance to be closer before ordering an attack.

Bow and Crossbows were fired in unison. The enemies at the very front did not fall after being hit by Arrows, but they all clutched their wounds and wailed, having already lost their combat effectiveness. After more people ran out and the Bow and Crossbows were too late to use, they began to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Because the Wulengebu were caught off guard and had no one to command them, after they clashed, they were defeated almost in an instant; what they were thinking of was fleeing, not fighting to the death.

The Regimental Commander then ordered: "Capture the living if you can! Seize their Weapons!"

The number of enemies grew fewer and fewer. When the Huaxia Soldiers' Knives were about to strike, the savages would subconsciously use their Spears to parry instead of trading blows. They would chop their Weapons in two with one strike, then point their Knives at them and shout loudly: "Kneel!"

They could not understand, so they grabbed someone who was already half-dead, helped him kneel, and demonstrated for those who were uninjured. This made it much clearer; the captured savages, seeing their tribesmen demonstrate, all knelt as well, because they did not want to die.

Originally twice the size of the Huaxia force, they were now basically the same size as the Huaxia, and not only were their Weapons inferior, but their stomachs were hurting to the point they could not bear it; some had already started vomiting and having diarrhea. If one did not know better, one would think they were scared.

But there was indeed an element of being scared. Adrenaline briefly alleviated their poisoning symptoms, but the fear of the Cannibal Tribe intensified the urge to vomit they had forgotten, and one by one they began to vomit, which made the Huaxia Soldiers very disgusted.

The war started suddenly and ended quite rapidly, but it was just as well; everyone was wearing Heavy Armor, and after such high-intensity combat, they were starting to feel a bit exhausted. Although there was no Sundial to use, they estimated they had been fighting for nearly half an hour.

From now on, it was about catching people and finding survivors. For those about to die, they still had to ask if they could understand what they were saying; if they could not understand, they were killed. Those who were not seriously injured were dragged back to see how to dispose of them later.

Bosa was also asked if he could understand what he said. Before Bosa could answer, the Huaxia Soldier saw that he should be able to live, so he dragged him to the place where prisoners of war were uniformly kept.

The prisoners of war discovered it was Bosa and were all excited, wanting to stand up. This behavior made the Soldier who had just captured Bosa excited: "Oh, your status is not ordinary!"

"Regimental Commander! Come quickly, Regimental Commander! I think I've caught their Leader!"

In the situation where it was impossible to determine who had wounded him, the Soldier who first discovered this Leader would take the primary credit. How could he not be excited? If this person happened to be the Tribal Chief of the entire Wulengebu, or an important figure, then he would be set. If it were just an ordinary Leader, then there would not be much of a merit.

The Hongnong Yang clan in history created a family that lasted for thousands of years just by snatching a leg of Xiang Yu. In Huaxia, such a possibility was entirely there, but one had to capture someone of a similar level. There were not many such people in the whole world, but the Tribal Chief of the Wulengebu could certainly count as one.

The Regimental Commander came over and took a look, discovering that the expressions of these savages toward Bosa were indeed different. Bosa, however, was able to understand the Huaxia language because they were the rulers, the Nobles, who needed to trade precious things with the outside world and could also enjoy the Slave women of other tribes. Therefore, they were able to understand and speak the languages of the surrounding tribes.

Bosa knew that the expressions of his tribesmen had betrayed him, so he whispered in his own language to tell his tribesmen not to move and not to look at him, but he spoke too late; he had already been detected.

The Regimental Commander used a wooden stick to lift Bosa's head: "Can you understand our language? Are you their Leader? If you can't understand, shake your head."

Bosa obediently shook his head. The Regimental Commander unceremoniously smashed that stick onto Bosa's back, almost breaking the stick. Bosa did not even know why this person called Regimental Commander had suddenly lost his temper.
