Chapter 16

PS: Second update is here! Please favorite and recommend!

"Charge! Rush in and kill all those Chinese, and seize their wealth and women!" The chieftain of the Buena tribe, Enado, bared his black teeth and shouted loudly!

"Kill!" The natives, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately rushed towards the village, emitting cries similar to those of wild beasts! Almost all the natives had a look of greed on their faces. In the past few years, they had already wiped out several Chinese villages, and each time they had reaped a great harvest. Although the resistance of the Chinese had cost them a certain price, from the chieftain down to every native soldier, they were all enthusiastic about it. The wealth obtained from robbing the Chinese was much easier than their hard work hunting and laboring!

"Fire arrows, shoot those beasts!" The old village chief ordered!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The archers in the village began to fire arrows at the dense crowd of natives. Sharp arrows shot into the crowd, and natives were occasionally hit and fell to the ground. However, this did not stop the natives' advance at all. A large number of natives stepped over the bodies of their fallen comrades and continued to attack the village!

There were only a few dozen archers in the village. Despite their efforts to fire arrows, they could not stop the natives. The village gate was already closed, but the wooden fence was clearly unable to withstand the natives' attack!

"Everyone, charge! Block those beasts, kill them all! If we don't kill them all, we will die, and our wives and children will have no choice but to die!" Wu Daniu shouted and charged out first, holding a spear. The spear, swift as lightning, pierced a native who had just rushed to the fence, killing him instantly.

The strong men in the village also rushed forward, using their weapons to attack the natives who were trying to push down the fence. Both sides fought across the wooden fence, and people were killed from time to time!

A short native hid in the crowd, holding a black tube in his hand. He placed one end of the tube in his mouth and aimed the other end at a Chinese youth about ten meters away.

"Whoosh!" As the native blew hard, a small arrow hit the Chinese youth's chest. The youth immediately fell to the ground, his body convulsing, and soon he was dead.

"Damn it! Some native monkeys are using blow darts, kill them!" Wu Daniu roared!

For the natives living in the forest, their weapons were very primitive, made of wood or stone, and their combat effectiveness was not high. However, in the long-term battles with the fierce beasts of the jungle, they had learned how to enhance their strength, such as coating their arrows with deadly poison, especially the blow darts, which posed a great threat to the enemy!

The battle was extremely fierce. The natives and the Chinese fought intensely around the fence at the edge of the village. Countless bodies fell on both sides of the fence, both natives and Chinese. Although the Chinese had slightly better weapons compared to the natives, the difference was not significant. However, in terms of numbers, they were at an absolute disadvantage. This time, the Buena tribe had brought more than two thousand people, more than twice the total population of Wu Family Village. Despite the men in the village fighting with all their might, they could not stop the natives' advance!

"Fools! Go around! Attack the other side of the village!" Seeing his subordinates being blocked, the chieftain of the Buena tribe, Enado, was furious, jumping around like a wild monkey!

Soon, a part of the natives circled around to the other side of the village and launched an attack. The natives fully utilized their numerical advantage, which posed a great threat to the Chinese in Wu Family Village. To block the natives, they had to divide their forces, which made their strength even weaker and increased the number of defensive gaps!

Soon, one side of the fence was pushed down, and a large number of natives surged in.

"Kill! Block these natives!" Wu Daniu and others shouted, charging towards the natives with all their might. His spear quickly pierced through, killing the natives one after another. However, there were too many natives, as if they could never be killed.

A Chinese man was surrounded by several natives. He had just killed one native with his steel knife, but another native had already left a deep wound on his back. He turned and chopped off the native's head, but another native had already pierced his heart!

The Chinese fought desperately, for the survival of their community, they had no choice! However, as the casualties increased, the Chinese were forced to retreat continuously!

"Ha ha! We're in! We're in! Kill all the men, and keep all the women!" The chieftain of the Buena tribe, Enado, shouted excitedly. Wu Family Village was much larger than the village they had previously destroyed, with more food and wealth, and most importantly, more women! The Chinese women captured by the natives would face a very tragic fate, subjected to inhumane abuse by the natives. Therefore, many Chinese women would choose to commit suicide at the last moment. Even so, these inhumane natives would not even spare the dead bodies. Many of the native tribes on Mindanao Island were cannibals. In their eyes, human flesh was no different from the flesh of wild animals!

"Retreat to the coast! Even if we drown in the sea, we cannot fall into the hands of those natives!" The old village chief ordered, tears in his eyes!

The Chinese in the village began to retreat towards the coast. The women and children were all crying. They seemed to realize that a tragic fate was about to befall them!

Some natives set fire to the Chinese houses, and thick smoke rose into the sky!

The natives seemed to see victory! They laughed wildly and continued to attack the retreating Chinese! Although the natives paid a higher price in this battle than the Chinese, they did not care! In the eyes of the natives, human life was not important, whether it was others' or their own!

In the calm waters of Wuyue Bay, a fleet of ships was sailing rapidly. This fleet was carrying the thousand people from Feiyu Island. However, all the ships no longer had the skull flags representing pirates.

"Commander! Deputy Commander! Look at the shore, there's a battle!" The lookout on the 'Feiyu' warship shouted loudly.

"What's happening?" Long Yufei was shocked and quickly came to the side of the ship, raising a monocular to look at the shore. He saw a village on fire, with a large number of dark-skinned natives attacking, and their targets were clearly black-haired, yellow-skinned Chinese!

"Damn native monkeys! Order the fleet to approach the shore immediately! Those native monkeys are slaughtering our compatriots!" Long Yufei immediately ordered!

The fleet began to change course and head towards the shore. At this moment, they were only a few kilometers away from the shore. Under Long Yufei's orders, the cannons on the 'Feiyu' warship were already prepared for battle! Cannonballs were loaded into the barrels, ready to fire at any time!

The sudden appearance of the fleet on the sea caused panic among the natives attacking Wu Family Village. This gave the Chinese in Wu Family Village a chance to catch their breath. After all, in the remote and backward waters near Mindanao Island, it was rare to see such a large fleet!

"Father, are those foreign ships? Why are their ships here?" Wu Daniu asked in surprise.

"I don't know! But the natives have stopped attacking. I hope our Wu Family Village can escape this disaster!" The old village chief said. Wu Family Village was almost at the end of its resources. The strong men in the village had already suffered nearly half the casualties, and the rest had been driven to the beach. If the natives continued to attack, they would have no choice but to commit suicide by jumping into the sea!

The natives were also panicked by the appearance of the fleet on the sea. These natives had never seen such large warships before; their own ships were mostly dugout canoes!

The chieftain of the Buena tribe, Enado, looked grim. The sudden appearance of the fleet made him feel deeply threatened. Rationality told him that he should immediately retreat into the forest. However, he was also reluctant. They were about to successfully attack Wu Family Village, and giving up now would mean all their efforts would be in vain!

Therefore, Enado ordered the natives to wait on the beach and see what the suddenly appearing fleet wanted to do. If they did not interfere with their tribe's actions, they would continue to attack the Chinese in Wu Family Village. If they showed hostility, they would make other plans!

Soon, the 'Feiyu' warship sailed to within a kilometer of the shore. The warship turned sideways, aiming the right side of the hull at the shore, while the other pirate ships continued to approach the shore. The pirates on the ships were also ready for battle! The slaughter of their compatriots by the natives had ignited their anger!

"Fire! Kill those natives!" Long Yufei ordered coldly!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The 12 cannons on the right side of the 'Feiyu' warship fired, and cannonballs flew towards the shore, with black smoke billowing from the muzzles.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" In the sound of breaking air, the cannonballs landed among the natives, exploding. These cannonballs were all shrapnel shells, and in the dense explosions, the natives were torn to pieces!

The 'Feiyu' warship began to fire shells at the natives on the shore at a rate of one round every three minutes. Although the cannons on the 'Feiyu' warship were mostly 2-pound and 4-pound guns with relatively small power, they still had an extremely terrifying killing effect on the natives on the beach!
