"I will choose the bravest warriors to escort you. Remember, the gunpowder is usually sealed in a large wooden barrel. If you have enough time, you can wet the gunpowder with water or ignite it to cause an explosion. That will destroy the gunpowder. If it doesn't work, then just destroy the barrel and scatter all the gunpowder on the ground. That way, the gunpowder can no longer be used."
The old man warned Ah Nuo. Ah Nuo nodded to show that he understood.
Then Ah Nuo went to prepare. After Ah Nuo left, the old man looked at the other tribal leaders without saying a word. Everyone knew that it was time to choose the bravest warriors of their tribe to be the escort team.
In fact, everyone knew that the escort team would die in order to cover Ah Nuo's mission. They had to die.
If Ah Nuo could complete the mission, everything would be fine. If he couldn't, then wouldn't those people die in vain?
"Chief, how many escorts do we need?"
Someone asked.
The old man thought for a moment and said, "At least a thousand."
A thousand was not a small number for everyone. Using a thousand people and six hundred warriors of Ah Nuo's tribe as a bargaining chip to destroy the fire extinguishers was a bit too much.
But when they thought about the terrible power of the cannons, they felt that it was necessary. Otherwise, if the cannons were fired, many young people who had never seen the power of cannons would be paralyzed.
So no one raised any objections. Everyone went to make their own preparations.
In the afternoon, the escort team was ready. Ah Nuo's six hundred warriors were also ready. Everyone prayed to the gods in the most ancient way of their tribes. When the blessing was over, the believers became brave warriors, armed with all kinds of weapons, ready to set off.
Out of the 1,600 warriors, only 600 of Ah Nuo's warriors were using iron weapons, while nearly half of the other 1,000 warriors were using sharpened sticks.
They had no choice. Their iron smelting skills were too poor, and the Spanish monopolized the technology. They could only get iron weapons from the Chinese through various illegal channels.
As for the firearms, they didn't even think about it. The Spanish were too strict with them, and they couldn't handle it.
Of course, Juan's situation wasn't any better. The Spaniards didn't care about repairing it. Once it was damaged, it would be gone. The Spaniards wouldn't care. It was the same with firearms. Usually, weapons that had been used for a period of time were about to break down. The Spaniards wouldn't trust Juan's men.
When it came to weapons, everyone was evenly matched. When it came to numbers, everyone had their own strengths and weaknesses, so they could only rely on luck and see who the heavens were on.
After Ah Nuo and the others set off, the elder of the tribe sat on top of the city wall and watched the show. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to send Ah Nuo off.
Because he felt that Ah Nuo was very similar to him when he was young. Watching Ah Nuo fight hard was like watching himself fight hard when he was young.
Ah Nuo was going to die soon. In order to pay homage to him, in order to make up for the insignificant guilt in his heart, the old man wanted to see Ah Nuo die with his own eyes.
This could be considered as fulfilling one of his wishes.
It had to be said that Ah Nuo was very brave, and the troops escorting him were also very useful. Their sudden appearance was completely out of Juan's expectations, and Juan was not prepared at all. His flank was breached by one of his troops.
Then they fiercely charged forward, not caring about what was behind them. They didn't even look back, as if they had no intention of going back.
"Big Leader, the plan is very successful! We can prepare for battle. Once Juan's firearms are destroyed, we can take advantage of the situation and eliminate Juan in one fell swoop! Then we can completely annihilate them!! "
Another young tribe leader watched with his blood boiling, as if he couldn't wait to go out and fight.
Then the old man shook his head and said calmly, "It's not time yet, don't be impatient. The outcome hasn't been decided yet!"
No one doubted him and continued to watch. They watched as Ah Nuo and the others slaughtered Juan's men. The Tribe's Allied Forces were caught off guard and panicked. At this moment, their entire army was in chaos. If they launched a sudden attack, they would be able to achieve good results.
So another tribe leader spoke up.
"Big Leader, can we get ready now? They are fighting very well! Right now, that bastard Juan is caught off guard, and the entire army is in chaos. If we kill our way out now, we can definitely achieve a great victory! Let's attack! "
The old man shook his head again.
"Don't be too impatient, they have a lot of people. A moment of panic is not a reason for us to go all out. Juan is very cunning, we need to be on guard against him."
Everyone felt that the old man's words made sense, so they didn't say anything else.
When Ah Nuo and the others found it more and more difficult to advance, and encountered more and more obstacles, everyone started to get anxious. They couldn't help but ask the old man to attack. The old man waited for a while and only announced for everyone to prepare for battle, but he still didn't give the order to attack.
However, this was enough to satisfy them for the time being. They quickly returned to their own units and began to gather the troops to prepare for battle. They told their Zhuang people to hold their weapons tightly and get ready for battle. They said some motivational words to everyone and calmed those who had never been on the battlefield before.
After waiting for a while, they still didn't get the order to attack. They were a little anxious, so they returned to the top of the wall to see the situation. However, the old man didn't seem to have any intention of giving the order to attack.
Ah Nuo's attack seemed to have fallen into a heavy encirclement. The enemy had formed a huge circular wall, trapping Ah Nuo's troops.
Ah Nuo was already very close to the enemy's center. It seemed that as long as he broke through the last circular wall, he would be able to break through the central formation. At this time, everyone couldn't hold back their desire to attack!
"Calm down! Don't you see that Juan's troops have yet to move? That means he is afraid that we will open the door and attack at any time!
If we attack now, they will definitely be on guard, and we will suffer heavy losses. Only when Ah Nuo successfully destroys the firearms and destroys their morale, then we will attack! "
The old man heavily reprimanded a few of the hot-tempered tribe leaders, scolding them until they couldn't even lift their heads.
At this time, a few loud noises came from the distant battlefield. The top of the wall was in an uproar, and the old man looked back in astonishment.
Thick smoke billowed from the center of Juan's army. From time to time, there would be large fireballs exploding, followed by even louder noises. These noises frightened the allied army in the city.
He really did it! That young man! He really did it!
He didn't know if there were still people fighting, but the old man knew that this was the best time to defeat Juan! A little earlier or a little later would not do!
"Attack!!!!"
