Chapter Ninety-Four: The End
On Guam, Lin Manjue is miserable.
After a few good battles, he became more and more comfortable with sneaking up on the Spanish search team, and he even figured out the three ways south of Sekishima, and then simply ambushed on the road he had to pass.
Although Xiyi found that several search teams were missing, and even escaped alive to report the news, sending more and more troops, they didn't know that Lin Manjue's base camp was directly east of their port, and they kept sending troops to the south to find it, but they couldn't find it.
Once the search team exceeded five hundred, Lin Manjue hid and pretended to be quails, and when there were fewer people, he sent people to follow and leave marks.
As a result, it got off the hook, and during the ninth ambush of the enemy search party, it rained.
The typhoon did not affect this, but it will be the rainy season when Lin Manjue landed on the island, and the rain in Guam is not like the junction of the three provinces where Lin Manjue was born, and the rain here is not foreshadowed.
Wow - say down, eh - stop when you say stop.
Just the next moment, the next moment when he was ready to do it.
All the poles were taken out, and it rained, and the arquebuses were all wet, and the guns could not be used, and they were discovered by the enemy.
The result was obvious, more than 200 people were chased by more than 100 American soldiers with cold weapons, and the worst thing was that they didn't dare to run to the capsized camp, so they could only run all the way south.
There was no battle at all, and he was blinded when he saw that the gun could not make his subordinates, but not all the guns were wet, and some of them released a gun while the fire rope was not extinguished, but after the fight, they could only flee.
When Lin Manjue led his troops to retreat three miles to the south, he came back to his senses and felt that something was wrong.
"This rain is really evil, what are we running, we have armor and waist knives, what are we afraid of them for? Let's go and fight back. β
This will Lin Manjue say that he will fight back, and the morale will suddenly go up, for no other reason, the rain will stop and the gun will be able to work again.
The soldiers of each battalion put on new fire ropes from their carrying bags, took out fire equipment, made fire sickles and flints, spark flint, and fire velvet ignited coal, and spent a long time to light the fire.
In the days that followed, Lin Manjue kept using guerrilla tactics to go back and forth with Xiyi in the jungle, and it was so elusive that people couldn't figure out how many people he had, and could only guess that his troops were less than 1,000 people, but no one could tell where they were.
The successive attacks caused panic among the American warriors on the island, and their fears could not be communicated well to the Spanish officers who led them due to their different words and beliefs, and this panic spread throughout the army until it swept through the entire army.
The Spanish officers were furious, feared their fighters by the attack on the south of the island, and the bodies of the search party members were found days after they were dispatched, stripes were stripped of their shirts, and some were even killed by the enemy with the projectiles that had killed them.
The documents delivered to Major Mendoza of New Spain clearly state the unscrupulous enemy's clean and clean methods after the battle, with each corpse having at least three wounds in addition to the fatal musket wounds and spear stabs.
A spear stabbed into the heart, a dagger slicing through the neck, and a missing ear.
Most of the battles, there is no survival, even if someone is lucky enough to escape back, they do not see the appearance of the enemy army clearly, let alone know the deployment of the enemy's troops, only know that the muskets are fired one after another, and when the enemy army comes out of the forest, there is no living mouth on the battlefield.
The dense muskets caused the Spanish officer corps to miscalculate the strength of the Ming army on the island, and in the Spanish army, there were three musketeers among eleven to sixteen soldiers, especially in this kind of multi-directional, short-term and rapid battle, Mendoza and his chief priest even thought that the enemy might be between 1,000 and 3,000.
The biggest possibility, a whole legion.
In the front-line fortress under construction in the western part of Guam, the Spanish officer corps perfectly made up the strategy and progress of the Ming army's attack on the island.
At the outset, they landed on the island with only one boat, more than 100 men, quickly set up a forward post, and at the same time sent a fleet of ships to engage and win their patrol fleet in the waters southwest of the harbor to cover the landing of the infantry.
Immediately after, a large force of more than 1,000 infantry landed in the southern part of the island and marched to the north, engaging search parties on the way and splitting Guam in two.
The intensive raid allowed Lin Manjue to take advantage of it, and the consequences were naturally very serious.
"Three guys! Yesterday, yesterday the enemy army increased to the port, the scouts could not probe it, the nearest enemy army was four miles to the westβ"
Lin Manjue had a not very difficult life during this time, there was food and drink, meat and wine, except for the taste of the big bat at the beginning, and then he had been eating the enemy's rations, although it was much more difficult than when he was stationed on Chenlai Island, but it did not exceed their estimation of the difficulty of staying on the island.
The subordinate scouts protruded from the forest in a panic, and halfway through reporting with a suppressed voice in their mouths, they were covered by Lin Manjue's mouth and nose, and dragged aside before he whispered: "Don't shout, talk about it, what's going on?" β
At this time, Lin Manjue poured out the pipe and stepped on it, suppressed his voice and showed a fierce face, and said to Lin Xiao on the side: "Call the fishing raft hunting team back!" β
"In the past two days, the port has increased by three or four thousand, and today two armies have been dispatched, many of whom wear cuirass and take spears and birds, and go south, and the scouts dare not get too close, I don't know how many of them there are."
"Thousands." Lin Manjue's face was cloudy, "Both are thousands?" β
The scout could not tell the exact word about the strength of the enemy army, but he said to Lin Manjue with certainty: "However, I have seen with my own eyes four large ships and a few small boats, heading south from the bay. β
Lin Manjue let out a long sigh, waved his hand weakly, and said, "Count the food, how much water and food are left, you can't attack again in the future." β
He found a clean stone to lean on, took a little tobacco from his waist bag, and slowly refilled it into the pipe, and at last he realized that the pipe was to be eaten by lighting it, but it was pointless.
In Pingyuan County, he has fought more than 20 battles in the past few years, winning and losing each other, standing out from the township, having prestige and ability, and being a local hero.
But it has never been like this after landing on the island, how to fight and win, as if he really grew from an old pawn to a military god of the world, and it has never happened.
Sometimes he also knew that the victory depended on the advantage of the weapon, but this sense of accomplishment still made him excited and uneasy, he had to take these offspring home, but he also knew that sooner or later, one day the Xiyi army would be conscripted, which was the moment when he was beaten back to his original form.
This immense pressure tormented him.
He prayed to the wood carving, praying that the imperial army would arrive earlier than the Spanish army, but now it seems that the dragon and tiger true monarch does not always work.
Especially when he heard the exclamation of his men and looked out over the telescope to the sea, he saw three large ships flying with red forks and flags lowering their small boats, which were loaded with swords and swords and swords of the enemy, and were coming at him with the vigorous paddling of the shirtless oarsmen.
The obsidian pipe fell to the ground, and its owner clung to the bird's gun and shouted, "Enemy, enemy!" β
