Bang bang - bang -

Dada-

At this juncture, Liu Hongjian no longer felt sorry for the firearms, so he fired muskets and AKMs, and hundreds of people frantically shot at the Dutch who were cowering not far away.

The Dutch immediately began to look for cover to fight back, and the ground on the island was uneven, but there was no need to queue up, so the two sides fought fiercely.

Baron Nash relied on his many guns to break through the defense line of the Ming soldiers as soon as possible, but Liu Hongjian had twelve snipers on his side, who could always repel the Dutch at a critical moment.

After fighting for an hour, the Dutch did not break through Liu Hongji's defensive line, Baron Nash frowned, in just such an hour, the casualties of his soldiers had reached more than a hundred.

Unable to go on like this, Baron Nash hastily ordered a ceasefire.

"Lord Nash, we don't need to be in a hurry, I saw clearly when these Ming soldiers got off the ship just now, they didn't even have time to take supplies with them......" Froman smiled evilly.

Over the next two hours, Baron Nash collected a large amount of supplies from five merchant ships, including fresh water, ammunition, and food, and his brow furrowed.

"Da Vinci, I ordered you to go to the Ming army to negotiate and ask them to surrender immediately, I can give them dignity." Baron Nash pointed to a Dutchman with a briefcase.

The Ming Dynasty was once the largest trading market for the Dutch in Asia, and the East India Company trained a lot of translators who spoke the Ming language in order to do business with the Ming Dynasty, and the fleet under the East India Company was naturally not less.

This made Da Vinci seem to see the predicament of the Ming soldiers, and accepted the order very happily.

In his opinion, the Ming people had no other way to go except surrender, there was no fresh water, no food, and they would only starve to death in the end, and they didn't have to fight at all.

Da Vinci just walked towards the reef pile where the Ming soldiers were with his briefcase, with a proud look on his face, unhurried and without a hint of fear.

Liu Hongjian had been closely observing the movements of the Dutch, but when he saw a Dutchman swaggering towards him without a weapon, he immediately knew what this guy was here for.

"My lord, this person is probably here to negotiate." Chang Yu said in a low voice.

In fact, this person did not come to negotiate at all, but to persuade him to surrender, Chang Yu saw that he just didn't say so, and being persuaded to surrender was tantamount to an insult to their group of proud soldiers and fierce generals who once boasted of being the pride of the sky.

"Tianbao, do you see that crumb? Kill him for me, get a headshot! Liu Hongjian couldn't see the joy and sorrow on his face, and turned his head to Yang Tianbao behind him.

Bang –

Before Liu Hongji's words fell, just listening to the bang, Yang Tianbao completed the sniping action, he didn't need to aim at such a close distance, just raised the gun and pulled the trigger.

Da Vinci didn't even have time to shout, and fell straight in the middle of the battlefield on both sides.

"Well done! I don't know how to shoot your marksmanship. Kuoduan walked to Yang Tianbao's side, pulled Yang Tianbao's head and praised.

Baron Nash was also observing Da Vinci, but not only was he furious when he saw that the Ming people were so ignorant, he originally wanted to attack again, and when the Ming people's ammunition was consumed, he could quickly end the battle.

But after repeated dissuasion, Froman changed his mind.

Instead of fighting with the lives of his own soldiers, it is better to just wait, it doesn't take long, and the Ming people who can be hungry in two days can't stand up.

When the time comes, wouldn't it be more comfortable for them to go in and take people as victors?

Baron Nash thought about it, and at dusk he ordered his soldiers to surround the Ming soldiers within a radius of less than two hundred paces, and then returned to the battleship to rest with peace of mind.

Coo-coo-coo-the belly of the cow's big stick mallet screamed uncontrollably.

"You're all hungry, aren't you?" Liu Hong gradually stood up from a stone and glanced at the soldiers around him.

There were more than 2,100 people in the caravan when it set out from Shimane, and now there are less than 800 people standing here, all of whom are veterans who have fought a hundred battles and do not hesitate to die.

The area of this stone island is indeed not large, and Liu Hong gradually got off the ship and sent people to look around for a place that could be defended before choosing the current location.

The terrain here is relatively high, there are many reefs, and more importantly, there is a stone hole in the center of the reef that is ventilated on both sides to hide from the rain.

Since he didn't have to worry about revealing his location, Liu Hongjian simply lit a few fires in the cave.

It was completely dark, and the fires reflected the faces of the soldiers, all of whom were holding their muskets tightly in their hands, and almost everyone had their comrades killed in the daytime's fighting.

And they're in a desperate situation now, at least that's what they think.

"I ...... I'm not hungry, I don't have fat on my body! Niu Dabang knew that this was a special period, so he naturally refused to admit it.

Even the bull and the mallet knew why the Dutch had stopped the attack, and because of the urgency of the matter, the supplies on the merchant ships had not had time to be taken off, and according to the current situation, everyone would be too hungry to walk in three days.

Maybe it won't take three days at all, because they don't even have fresh water.

Even so, none of the soldiers showed despair, but more of a death rage at the loss of their robes.

"Hehe, if you're hungry, you're hungry, and you can fool me." Liu Hong smiled bitterly, and then walked around the cave, as if looking for a hidden place.

"You all have to remember the hatred of the day, and if we are lucky enough to survive, we will definitely have to slash the Dutch a few more times again." Liu Hong gritted his teeth and said word by word to all the people present.

After speaking, Liu Hong gradually ignored the crowd, walked towards the depths of the cave by himself, and waved his hand to stop Niu Dabang and others from following.

Everyone didn't know what Liu Hongjian was going to do, and Niu Dabang even wondered if his master was going to, after all, the outside was surrounded, and the risk of going out to was too high.

About two quarters of an hour later, Liu Hong gradually came out of the darkness sweating profusely.

"Bang mallet, go and bring someone to bring the food over." Liu Hong gradually wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Huh?" The bull mallet was a little dazed.

In particular, Liu Hong's expression of gradually wiping sweat looks more like the sequelae of overexertion, which makes Niu Dabang very embarrassed, the old man should not have a brain problem, right?

Otherwise, how could they be allowed to eat...... Eat......

"What are you doing? You're not hungry, are you? You're not hungry, others are hungry! Just go! Liu Hong gradually looked at the cow's big stick mallet with a look of embarrassment, and urged.

"Oh." Niu Da Bang mallet didn't hesitate anymore, gave Chang Yu, Kuoduan and a few other good buddies a look, and a few people walked in the direction where Liu Hong gradually came.

"Oh!"

"So...... So much...... Meat! ”
