Different from the chaos of the Japanese warriors, when countless natives rushed towards the Ming Dynasty Marines, all the soldiers of the Marine Corps lay on the ground, and fireworks kept rising into the air and exploding.

With the help of weak and intermittent fireworks, the Marines lay down on the ground and shot at all the moving figures. Regardless of the moving Japanese or natives, any one with long legs would be killed.

Zuo Liangyu held a revolver in his hand and looked around with vigilant eyes. As long as there was something running away, he would shoot him. He had trained in Qinhuangdao on stealing camps. When he encountered a camp stealing attack, everyone

They all lay down on the ground. Whenever they saw a running figure, they opened fire. During the exercise in Qinhuangdao, they even killed several soldiers who were running around.

The guns were fired for more than half an hour, and there was no one running around anymore. Zuo Liangyu breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to stand up. I don't know how many guns were searching for the target.

When he stood up, no one knew he was the group leader. He was beaten into a hive and didn't even have a chance to reason.

The sky is slowly getting brighter, and the sun has not yet peeked out, but through the skylight, you can see the surrounding scenery.

In the distance, people were still wailing among the Japanese people, and there were corpses on the grass. The strong smell of blood filled the fresh morning air. Everyone stood up, and the sounds of gathering and reporting could be heard one after another.

Zuo Liangyu held a revolver in his hand and inspected his camp.

The soldiers hacked to death more than a dozen people, all of whom had their throats cut with sharp weapons, using very neat techniques. Compared with the losses of the Marines, the losses of the natives were even more severe. There were dead bodies everywhere, and some people were shot through the chest.

Some people had their heads smashed, and some unlucky guys were shot at least ten times, and it was unclear which shot was fatal.

A rough estimate shows that at least three to four hundred natives were killed last night. It was so dark that some of them must have escaped.

"Captain, the Japanese suffered heavy losses. I heard that thousands of people died last night!" The staff officer sent to inquire about the news came back to report.

"What do Japanese people know? When it comes to fighting, it depends on our commander. Report the number of casualties to the second master, and also send people to the first group to see how many casualties they have." Zuo Liangyu glanced around.

commanded.

"No!" the staff officer raised his hand in salute.

"Bang!" The branch in Zuo Liangyu's hand hit the staff officer hard on the face.

"You fucking want me to die. You are not allowed to salute on the battlefield. Have you forgotten this? Don't you remember the "Battlefield Rules"? If you dare to salute me next time, I will throw you into a pile of rubbish.

Inside, I heard that these natives still maintain the tradition of cannibalism." Zuo Liangyu stared at the staff officer, his eyes almost spitting fire.

"No!" The young staff officer was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. He wanted to raise his hand to salute, but he quickly put it down, stood at attention, and ran away.

Zuo Liangyu looked around like a thief and saw that the soldiers were avoiding cats and mice. He quickly got into the crowd and tried to hide himself. From today on, he decided to strictly follow the "Battlefield" compiled by Li Xiao.

Code》Do it. This thing is really life-saving!

"Second Master! News came from the shore that many natives attacked the camp last night, and more than 1,300 Japanese people died. Eight people from our first group died, and eleven people from the second group died. The natives killed were quite different.

!

The Japanese who suffered the most casualties killed more than 400 natives in total. The first regiment killed more than 700 natives, and the second regiment killed more than 800." The adjutant reported to Li Xiu carefully. In recent times,

Li Xiu is always distracted and has a bad temper.

"During a night attack, it was dark, so there was no distinction between the enemy and ourselves. The Japanese fired at will, hitting more of their own people than the enemy. Even if they hit the enemy, the bullets would pass through the enemy's body and fly to where only God knows.

That's why the commander-in-chief compiled the "Battlefield Rules", which clearly stated that when encountering a night attack, you are not allowed to panic and run away. You need to lie down on the spot and shoot at all the running figures you see. This way you can ensure that you hit the enemy and not your own people.

Li Dingguo and Zuo Liangyu did a good job. It seems that the people who died in the Qinhuangdao exercise did not die in vain.

Since so many Japanese people died, we ordered the Japanese people to go into the jungle, raid the native tribes and capture strong native men to build Temasek City. The first regiment followed closely behind the Japanese, and the second regiment was responsible for covering the rear of the first regiment. I

Big brother said it! The name Temasek is not good. We have settled in a new city, so let’s just call it Singapore.

Chen Laohu, take Zhiyuan and Dingyuan for a trip on the sea. Bring back any suspicious ships you see. If you encounter resistance, sink them on the spot. Be careful. We are not familiar with the sea conditions here. Be careful underwater.

reef."

"promise!"

Tokugawa Seimei and Mouri Kogoro's eyes are red now. They both killed hundreds of people in the night attack last night. Now they hate the natives deeply. They heard that Li Xiu ordered them to go to the jungle to raid the natives and capture young men.

The troops immediately divided into two groups and rushed into the jungle excitedly!

When Li Dingguo saw the Japanese dividing their troops, he also divided his troops and followed the Japanese. One battalion followed Tokugawa Seimei, and the other battalion followed Maori Kogoro. He personally led one battalion in the center to provide support, and the three battalions formed an inverted shape.

layout.

Behind the First Marine Regiment, the slowly advancing Second Marine Regiment followed behind them. Once attacked, they would respond as quickly as possible.

Tokugawa Seimei led the warriors of the Nagasu domain, and Kogoro Mouri led the warriors of the Satsuma domain. Although they were all elite warriors of the Japanese country, they were not good at jungle combat. Along the way, they were trapped by traps, poisonous arrows, and poisonous arrows set by the natives.

There are various animal traps that torture you to death. Almost every hundred or ten meters you go, you will be attacked.

The native people's blowpipes and poisonous arrows are silent, and their bodies are painted in colorful colors, which are the best protective colors in the jungle. Many Japanese warriors fell to the ground and twitched without warning while walking. When people around them

After surrounding them in a fan shape, one or two natives will usually be driven out from the jungle.

Naturally, the Japanese people were not polite to the dead people, and kept waving their sharp samurai swords. The natives turned from human beings into a pile of large and small human body fragments.

The Japanese people are indeed quite sophisticated. After killing someone, they like to hang the head on their waist. Although this will attract a large swarm of flies, they still don't intend to change their mind. I guess they can take the head back to receive the reward!

Although the Marines following the Japanese didn't have to go through mines, they were still tortured by these human fragments.

In fact, many soldiers had never really experienced the battlefield. They saw the internal organs hanging haphazardly on the trees. There were also those mutilated corpses. Not to mention breakfast, they even vomited out yesterday's dinner.

The veterans have seen it all too often. Even if it is a small scene like a rain of shells, only young people who are new to the battlefield can vomit like this. When they first entered the battlefield, they also vomited into a mess. Anyway, they vomited.

I’m used to vomiting!

Throwing a bottle of water to the new recruits, the veterans held their guns and continued the search.

Wu Sangui fled hastily on a sea ship last night. He knew that in the haste, the natives could not gather many people. The so-called night attack was just a harassment. He could only cause the loss of one person to the Ming army.

The principle of victory, Wu Sangui still did it.

However, he knew that as soon as it got light, he would have no choice but to go into the jungle to stay in Temasek. Not wanting to go into the jungle to feed the mosquitoes, Wu Sangui and Kui boarded the ship overnight and left Temasek while listening to the sound of gunshots like exploding beans.

At this time, the natives whom he had deceived into going to the battlefield were fighting bloody battles with the Japanese.

Pulling up the sails, Wu Sangui and Kui Yi's dozen or so clippers sailed quickly. Their English clippers were not big in draft and not deep in water, but they were fast and were definitely an excellent tool for escape.

"How to explain to George when we return to Bombay?" Kui Yi looked at the boundless sea and asked Wu Sangui with some worry. In this battle, a full three hundred English soldiers were lost, as well as the mercenaries Wu Sangui and the others brought back from Europe.

.

These mercenaries originally wanted to come to the Far East to make money, but they didn't expect to lose their lives here in one battle. The mercenaries didn't need to be afraid, no one would care about their lives anyway. But the three hundred English soldiers had to do it anyway.

Give George an explanation.

"How to explain? He and I are now a grasshopper tied to the same rope! In the north, he depends on me to help him maintain relations with the Mongols and maintain the security of the northern border. In the south, he also needs the firearms we make.

Arm his fleet and seize control of the Indian Ocean.

Without me, with more than 30,000 troops stationed in India, do you think he can control such a large India? Unlike the Ming Dynasty, England has a population of only 10 to 20 million people. It is already considered extraordinary to be able to station more than 30,000 troops in India.

It's easy. Her great Majesty the Queen doesn't have that many manpower to send to India.

Besides, fighting this battle can be regarded as knowing the extent of the development of the Liao army's firearms. If our messenger hadn't been a little late, Li Xiu might have been defeated now. Maybe we were lucky and could kill Li Xiu at sea.

Now our firearms are on par with the Ming army. Especially the rocket launchers, which are definitely weapons of war. If we train an Indian army well in Mumbai, I think Li Xiao will not stop expanding outward. Sooner or later, he will win.

Come to India, even if he doesn't come to India, we can still take back Temasek with this army." After seeing the firepower of the Ming army, Wu Sangui felt that he and Li Xiu were just a little bit unlucky.

"Take back Temasek? A lot of people will die!" Kuiyi thought that it would be great if he could hold on to Mumbai, and he still wanted to fight back to Temasek. This was simply talking in a dream.

"Anyway, they are all Indians' lives. It doesn't matter if they die more or less. There is a plague that spreads every year, and a lot of people die from the disease. Death from illness is death anyway, so it's better to be cannon fodder for us and waste a bullet from the Ming Dynasty."

If we are lucky and can spread the plague to the people of Ming Dynasty, we will make a profit. I don’t believe that the people of Ming Dynasty are really invulnerable to water and fire."

The conversation with Kui Yi suddenly made Wu Sangui think of a new way. Maybe spreading the plague is a good idea, but he has to go back and plan it carefully.

"Sir! Look over there...!" The helmsman pointed at the two plumes of smoke that appeared on the sea in the distance.

"Not good!" Wu Sangui felt nervous when he saw the smoke column. This must be a new type of steam engine armored ship. There is really no way for Ming Dynasty to catch up with its technology. It just caught up with firearms. But Ming Dynasty has already tinkered with a mature and usable steam engine. Listen.

After careful inquiry, the news came back that there were steam trains in the Ming Dynasty, and the transport capacity of one train could be compared to tens of millions of carriages.

Although he sent countless detailed work, Wu Sangui still failed to find out the secret of the steam engine.

There was nothing that could be done about it. A steam engine was not a weapon. It was something synthesized using multiple technologies. It was something called rubber. He still didn't know how it was made.

"The speed of the steam engine ship is far faster than ours. If we are discovered by them, we will only surrender and be sunk." As soon as Kui saw the two plumes of smoke, his legs trembled nervously. But here is a flat sea.

With nowhere to hide and no storage, where can you escape even if you want to?

"Why are you panicking?" Wu Sangui glanced at Kui Yi with disgust. This guy was getting more and more timid.

"They must have discovered us, what should we do?" Kui Yi jumped up and down anxiously.

"Turn the helm! Sail towards the rocky beach, where there are dense reefs. We have shallow water, so there won't be any big problems. But they... hehe! I want to see if the iron-clad ironclad ship is afraid of the reefs." Regarding this area.

Wu Sangui was very familiar with the sea area. After thinking about it, he immediately ordered the steering wheel to be turned.

"Yes! Yes! Even if the armored ship hits the reef, it will definitely sink." Kuiyi suddenly became excited.

Wu Sangui glanced at Kui Yi and felt that this guy was useless.

More than a dozen speedboats turned and headed towards the rocky beach!

"Master Chen! Look, there is a fleet over there. When they see us, they will run away." The captain put down his telescope and asked Chen Laohu for instructions.

"There's something strange. This doesn't look like a cargo ship. It's traveling quite fast. Let's catch up and see who it is." Chen Laohu gave the order, and Zhiyuan and Dingyuan immediately increased their speed and caught up.

Although the armored ship has a huge hull, its power is absolutely superior. After accelerating, the bow of the ship sank suddenly and plunged downward into the sea. The thick pure steel ramming angle of the bow seemed to split the sea, and the bow of the ship suddenly jumped up and hit it.

Countless waves crashed in quickly.

"Sir! They are catching up. Their ship is so fast." The observation post on the mast was so frightened that the two behemoths could sail so fast without sails.

"Haha! There is a rocky beach ahead. Speed ​​up the boat and let's lead them in." Wu Sangui looked ferocious.

He was risking his life because the rocky beach was densely covered with reefs. Although his boat had a shallow draft, it was not absolutely safe. God knows where those underwater reefs were. If one were to mount one, the game would definitely be over!

"Mr. Chen! Those ships are speeding away."
