Chapter 817: You Eat Mutton, We Eat This (Sixth Update, 13/20 for the Silver Alliance)

"Barbecue? Who's roasting? Nash was furious when he heard that.

It's a special period, and he, the captain of the detachment, doesn't have meat to eat, so who dares to barbecue meat in front of him?

Froman looked at Nash, and Nash looked at Fromman, both of whom saw shock in each other's eyes.

The Ming army obviously has no supplies, but where does the barbecue come from now? How is this possible?

The Ming soldiers were indeed roasting the meat, because the cooked horse meat had been eaten, and there was only a bunch of cattle and sheep left that had not even withdrawn their hair.

In order to save precious fresh water, the soldiers cut the beef and mutton and shaved the meat without washing it with water, and no one cared if it was clean in difficult times anyway, and the bacteria roasted on the fire were killed.

It's just that there is no leader in this group of soldiers, and Liu Hongji's only ingredient is only salt lumps, the meat is good meat, but the roasted meat is not so good, and the cave is filled with the smell of roasted meat.

"How's it going, Chang, is there any movement outside?" Liu Hongjian stood on the edge of the cave and asked Chang Yudao, who had just returned from outside.

"Not yet, but the Dutchman seems to be a little unable to sit still." Chang Yu shook his head and said.

One of the Dutch warships was about 500 men, plus the wounded battleship that had been wounded last night also came slowly, and the Dutch soldiers numbered more than 2,000 men.

These people were all armed with muskets, but the power of the Dutch muskets was not much different from the power of the front-loading rifled rifled rifles in the hands of the Ming army, and even the range was not as dominant as the Ming army's muskets.

If it weren't for the fact that the Dutch Navy was not equipped with grenades, Liu Hongjian would have been able to jump for three days.

Liu Hongjian is now only worried about the rain, and although he can get fresh water when it rains, he realizes a very serious problem.

Although the AKM is not affected by this, there are only 12 guns in the heavy rain, and the surrounding terrain is not an open plain, so it will be a disaster if the Dutch break through the formation.

It's just that Liu Hongchuan really overestimated the courage of the Dutch, and Baron Nash had long been aware of the rainy fighters, but this didn't work at all among the Dutch soldiers.

There was only one reason for the fear of death, and when all the soldiers knew that there were firearms in the Ming army that could fire in bursts or even not afraid of rain, Baron Nash could not order the soldiers to die, even if they had more than 2,000 soldiers.

"Lord Nash, I came up with a great idea, we can unload the guns from those merchant ships and ...... Hey. Froman smiled treacherously with honey.

There were no small-caliber guns on the Dutch ships, and the guns were heavy and difficult to disassemble, and even if they were removed, it was difficult to transport them to the uneven stone islands without auxiliary equipment.

However, the five merchant ships that Liu Hong gradually threw on the seashore were limited to the structure of the merchant ships, and the caliber was relatively small.

But even if the caliber is small, the artillery is still artillery, and the range and power of the musket are several times greater.

If the artillery is transported to the island, they can continue to bombard outside the range of the Ming soldiers, and the Ming merchant ships have a lot of ammunition, which is enough to bombard the Ming people into the sky.

"If we can kill that Ming prince, you will be the first merit." Baron Nash said excitedly when he heard this.

"It's just that you're temporarily negligent, my lord, and it's nothing." Froman said modestly that even if he finally won the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he didn't believe that Nash would take him as the first credit and hand him to the company's headquarters.

As soon as he said that, Nash immediately ordered 300 men to disassemble the guns on the merchant ship, and the 300 men were busy for most of the day and finally carried more than 20 guns onto several raised boulders on the island.

"My lord, the artillery is ready, just waiting for your order." Froman humbly ran up to Baron Nash.

"So what are you waiting for? Fire! "I have been nesting in this place where the birds don't for three days, and seeing that the sun is already setting in the west, Baron Nash does not want to wait for a moment.

Da-da-da-da-

Da-da-da-da

As soon as Baron Nash finished speaking, AKM's unique gunfire instantly sounded in the encirclement, and the gunners on the side of the ten guns closest to the encirclement were immediately named.

Joke! Erecting artillery in front of a sniper is simply an insult to the sniper's marksmanship.

If you want to hit the Ming army in the encirclement, you must mount the artillery to the high ground, and the artillery to the high ground will inevitably expose the figure of the gunner, and in the absence of armor protection, the AKM is almost invincible.

Baron Nash almost died of anger, and the three hundred or so people were busy for half an afternoon, and Yang Tianbao and other twelve snipers burned their efforts in less than half an hour.

On the fourth day, Nash finally made up his mind, and early in the morning he instigated the whole army to attack, although Nash did not know where the Ming army found food, but the ammunition was always limited.

He did not believe that the Ming army's ammunition stock would be able to withstand the attacks of his soldiers.

Only half an hour later, the Dutch conceded defeat, the Ming army's firepower was fierce, although there were only 800 men, they fought 3,000 men, and the Dutch retreated in defeat after dropping more than 50 corpses.

However, in this short battle, the Ming army also killed eight people and wounded more than a dozen.

The atmosphere in the cave was somewhat solemn, and the corpses of the eight robes who had died in battle were placed on one side of the cave.

The people who can follow Liu Hong to the present are all veterans, they have seen a lot of life and death, and they can't walk through the sea of corpses and fires, but this time the soldiers didn't shed tears, but the first step in the robe under such a desperate situation made them a little sentimental.

How long will they last?

The former Roshan has almost been consumed, there is no shortage of fresh water at all, and this broken island has to rain once or even a few times every day.

"You guys, go out with me." Although the broad end lines are thick, they also show the shortage of food.

The few soldiers who followed Kuoduan out were all from the Guanning Iron Cavalry back then, and it didn't take long for five or six people to pull the corpse of a Dutch Yankee over.

"You're mutton, let's eat this." Broadend pointed to the Dutch on the ground.

Yang Tianbao and the others looked at the Dutch on the ground and glanced at their mouths without speaking, Liu Hongjian didn't say anything, he didn't order everyone to eat Dutch, but Kuoduan took the initiative to leave the only remaining beef and mutton to others.

"I haven't eaten this meat yet, so I'm going to pull one too." Another soldier muttered and walked out of the cave.

There is a person who starts with a second, and I don't know if these people can really eat or if they want to taste fresh.

It was already dark, and it didn't take long for the soldiers of the Ming army to pull over a few Dutchmen.

The fire burned, and the air began to smell strange again, and Baron Nash roared angrily at the incompetence of his soldiers.

Froman was envious of the food of the Ming army in the encirclement, but he did not know that if this food was brought to him, it would be enough to make him unable to eat for three days.

In the middle of the night, it was raining heavily outside, Liu Hongjian sat by the fire and didn't know what he was thinking, Chang Yu handed over a glass of water and sat down next to Liu Hongchuan.

"Lao Chang, if we really confess here, will you regret it?"
