Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Taga Alliance, the Ilu Alliance, and the Dwarf Alliance are the only three remaining tribal alliances on Luzon Island. The previous four tribal alliances, including the Lome Alliance and the Qisha Alliance, were all wiped out by these three alliances.  .  But now the strength of these three major alliances is also greatly reduced. In addition, the three tribes are wary of each other, for fear that the other two tribes will unite to destroy themselves, so no one dares to take the lead. This makes the three major alliances unexpectedly appear.  There was a very strange calm.

    Originally, these three major alliances had one or several slave-catching teams to provide them with weapons and supplies, and they needed to exchange prisoners of war or products on the island. However, during the melee between the seven major tribal alliances some time ago,  , they suddenly realized that due to the perennial wars in their alliance, a large number of mature men had been killed or captured, which had caused a significant reduction in the population within the alliance, and even some tribes could not even guarantee their basic life.

    Faced with this situation, the three major tribal alliances had to suspend the prisoner-of-war trade with the slave-catching teams, and instead turned these prisoners of war into labor for their own tribes to make up for the lack of labor in the alliance.  But in this way, they offended the slave-catching team behind them. After all, the slave-catching team came here for the slaves. Now that all the slaves have been retained by these tribes, they naturally have no choice but to drink from the northwest wind.

    It is precisely because of this that all the businessmen related to slave catching are very supportive of this war. After all, they are all dependent on this. Now that the natives on Luzon Island have cut off their financial resources, they will naturally have to bear the consequences.  Their anger.  In addition, Li Min needed the land in Luzon, so it was natural to send troops to Luzon.

    However, when Zhou Long and Hu Li learned about the three major tribal alliances from Yan Bei and others, they discovered an unexpected surprise.  That is the Dwarf Black Alliance among the three major alliances, which has huge conflicts with the other two alliances.  Moreover, the Dwarf Black Alliance has not cut off the slave trade with the slave-catching team. The slaves shipped out of Manila are now provided by the Dwarf Black Tribe.

    The reason why this happens.  This is mainly because among the three major tribal alliances, the Dwarf Alliance has irreconcilable conflicts with the other two tribal alliances. The natives of the Taga Alliance and the Ilu Alliance are not actually natives of Luzon, but come from Ma  Those who migrated to the peninsula can be called Malays, while the Dwarf Alliance is mainly made up of dwarf black people. As you can tell from their names, these dwarf black people are short and black. They are the real people of Luzon Island.  Aboriginal.

    Since the Malays moved to Luzon hundreds of years ago.  There were constant conflicts with the local dwarf black people. Although the dwarf black people were fierce, they were short in stature and were naturally disadvantaged in terms of physical strength. In addition, the Malays had a higher level of civilization than them and could make sharp weapons, so the short black people were short.  The black people have been suppressed and beaten by the Malays, and now they can only retreat to the tropical jungle on the island.

    Although the dwarf blacks are not as physical as the Malays, they are natural jungle warriors.  Therefore, taking advantage of the tropical jungle, they can hold on to their own territory. In addition, although the Malay population is large, the territory they previously occupied is not small.  It has been enough for them to develop for hundreds of years, so the attacks on the dwarf black people have gradually relaxed.

    If there were no accidents, it would have taken hundreds of years for the Malays to slowly occupy the living space of the dwarf black people.  By that time, dwarf black people will also become a minority on Luzon Island.  But when the people from the Slave Catching Association came to Manila.  Various slave-catching teams began to provoke conflicts between tribes, and the Malays were not monolithic.  There were many conflicts between various tribes, and wars often broke out. The recruitment of slave-catching teams only added fuel to the fire, leading to raging wars on Luzon.

    In this case, the short blacks were naturally not immune. Fortunately, they had a strong enemy, the Malays, and they were at a disadvantage, so they were relatively united internally, so they formed a short black tribal alliance.  They have an advantage in the tropical jungle, so they are more powerful than other tribal alliances. However, because of their different races, the Dwarf Black Alliance is often actively attacked by other alliances, which forces them to fight back. In the end, they became the only remaining ones.  One of the three major tribal alliances.

    The dwarf blacks are different from the Malays. They are life-and-death enemies with each other. Prisoners captured in the war cannot stay in the tribe at all, otherwise it will only increase unrest within the tribe. Therefore, the relationship between them and the slave-catching team  The slave trade has not been interrupted, and these dwarf black people are very friendly to the slave catching team and have always maintained a very close relationship with the city of Manila.

    After hearing about the situation on Luzon Island, especially about the dwarf black people, Zhou Long said excitedly: "Prince Yan, those dwarf black people are a good breakthrough point. Can you try hard to win over these dwarf black people?"  Come here, and finally let them join our army, so that we will not only have one less powerful enemy, but also get a lot of help!"

    After hearing this, Yan Bei also smiled and said: "Heroes have the same view. Yan also thinks that those short black people canUse it, so I sent someone to contact the other party a long time ago. It's a coincidence. It is said that during this time, two other Malay tribes were preparing to form an alliance and planned to deal with the dwarf black people together, and the dwarf black people also knew  After hearing the news, at this moment, the people we sent immediately became their life-saving straw. Now we are talking with the dwarf black people. It is estimated that it will not take long to reach an agreement with the dwarf black people.  "

    Hearing Yan Bei¡¯s words, Zhou Long and Hu Li looked at each other and smiled. They have an army of 100,000 in their hands, and now they have the internal support of the dwarf black people. Isn¡¯t it easy to destroy the other two tribal alliances?  As for those short black people, if they can be comforted, soothe them. If the other party doesn't recognize images, then don't blame them for burning bridges!

    The person Yanbei sent to contact the dwarf black people came back soon, and he came back with the dwarf black people's clan leader and several elders. Among them, the clan leader's name was very difficult to pronounce. He was called Shami in transliteration. According to reports,  He was introduced to be only forty years old, but in the eyes of Yanbei and others, the Shami patriarch must be at least sixty years old.

    Short black people are short. For example, the Shami clan leader is a full head and a half shorter than Yan Bei. The other elders are even shorter than Shami. They look like monkeys, and they definitely don't weigh more than a hundred kilograms.  , with their stature, I knew they were no match for the Malays.

    The short black people have always been bullied by the Malays. Although they are now in the alliance of the three major tribes, they also know clearly that they are likely to become the next target of the other two major alliances. Therefore, the leader of the Shami tribe sent Yanbei  He attaches great importance to his olive branch, which can be seen from the fact that he came to the interview in person.

    Even a thousand years later, the dwarf black people are still in the primitive society period, and the current dwarf black people are even less knowledgeable. Yan Bei just made a small plan, and then promised the other party that after the war, he would set aside a separate piece of land for the dwarf black people.  This allowed them to live a stable life in Luzon, and they could also trade with the Han people in exchange for large amounts of cloth, grain, ironware, etc.

    These conditions were already very pleasing to the dwarf black people. Coupled with the pressure from Malay, they quickly reached an agreement with Yanbei to invest the tribal alliance under the name of the Taiwanese government and at the same time accept the Manila government  The leader of the clan became a tribe under Li Min.

    With the joining of the Dwarf Black Man, Zhou Long and Hu Li¡¯s training will be easier.  The dwarf black people do not have a regular army. They still implement the system of all soldiers. Even a woman can go to the battlefield. However, Zhou Long selected the young and strong men among the dwarf black people and organized them into a group.  A short black army with only fifteen thousand people.

    But don't underestimate this dwarf army of 15,000 people. They are born warriors in the jungle. In addition, after Zhou Long trained them with formal military training methods, he changed their weapons to facilitate jungle combat.  Special steel swords, and even three thousand crossbowmen, each holding a short crossbow, are most suitable for ambushes.

    In addition, with this dwarf black man, Zhou Long and the others could finally bring their army to the tropical jungle for training. With these dwarf black men as guides, Zhou Long's 100,000 troops took turns to go to the jungle for training. Although there were many  People got sick because they couldn't stand the heat, but after all, they were only a minority, and the biggest killer, dysentery, could already be cured, so there were not many people killed or injured by the disease in the end.

    Zhou Long trained with nearly 120,000 troops in Manila for five months, and then in November, he finally began to attack the Taga Alliance and the Ilu Alliance.  Faced with this powerful offensive, the Tajia Alliance and the Yilu Alliance also joined forces and organized all the young and strong men and women. Together, there were nearly 300,000 troops. This was already the number of soldiers in the two alliances who could take up arms.  The total population of the army, if they can be defeated, then there will be no suspense in the subsequent battle of Luzon.

    Facing three times the enemy, Zhou Long seemed very relaxed, because he knew that even though the opponent had 300,000 people, there were men and women among these 300,000 people, and some of them didn't even have weapons.  Fighting with the simplest wooden stick is no threat at all to his 120,000 troops.

    In December of the 16th year of Zhenguan, after dozens of small-scale confrontations, during the confrontations, Zhou Long deliberately showed weakness, causing the opponent to win several battles in a row. This made the Malays in the two alliances get carried away and thought that the opponent had no chance at all.  Nothing special.

    At this moment, Zhou Long deliberately revealed the whereabouts of his army to the other party. As a result, the two major tribal alliances immediately gathered their armies and intercepted Zhou Long's army on the plains northwest of Manila. The decisive battle was about to begin!  But this time, Zhou Long was well prepared, and the firearms unit that had been hidden away by him finally came into use!  (To be continued.
