Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 819 You eat lamb, we eat this (sixth update, add update 1320 for the Silver League)

"Barbecue? Who's grilling?" Nash was about to get angry when he heard it.

Now is a special period, he, the captain of the squadron, has no meat to eat, who would dare to barbecue in front of him?

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

The Ming army obviously had no supplies, but where did they get the barbecue now?How can this be?

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were indeed grilling meat, because the cooked horse meat had been eaten, leaving only a pile of cows and sheep that hadn't even returned their hair.

In order to save precious fresh water, the soldiers cut up beef and mutton and shaved without washing them with water. Anyway, no one cared whether it was clean or not when it was difficult, and the bacteria were killed when they were roasted on the fire.

It's just that there were no leading soldiers in this group of soldiers, and Liu Hongjian's only ingredients were salt lumps. The meat was good, but the roasted meat was not so good, and the cave smelled of burnt meat.

"How is it, old Chang, is there any movement outside?" Liu Hongjian stood by the cave and asked Chang Yu who had just returned from outside.

"Not yet, but it seems that the Dutchman can't sit still." Chang Yu shook his head and said.

A warship of the Dutch is equipped with about 500 people, and the wounded warship rushed over last night, and the number of Dutch soldiers is as high as more than 2000.

These people are all equipped with muskets, but the power of the Dutch muskets is not much different from that of the front-loading rifled guns in the hands of the Ming army, and even the Ming army's muskets have no advantage in range.

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

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

The gun will be useless when it rains heavily. Although AKM is not affected by this, there are only twelve guns after all, and the surrounding area is not an open plain terrain. Two fists are hard to beat with four hands. If the Dutch break through the formation, it will be a disaster. a disaster.

It's just that Liu Hongjian really overestimated the courage of the Dutch. Baron Nash has long been aware of the opportunity of rain, but this is simply not feasible among Dutch soldiers.

The only reason is that they are afraid of death. When all soldiers know that there are firearms in the Ming army that can fire continuously or even not be afraid of rain, Baron Nash can't order the soldiers to die, even if they have more than 2000 soldiers.

"Master Nash, I thought of a good idea. We can unload the artillery on those merchant ships, and then... hehe." Froman showed a treacherous smile.

There are no small-caliber artillery on Dutch warships, and the artillery equipped is very heavy and difficult to disassemble, and even if disassembled, it is difficult to transport it to the uneven stone island without auxiliary equipment.

On the contrary, the five merchant ships that Liu Hongjian left on the seashore had relatively small cannons due to the structure of merchant ships.

But even with a small caliber, a cannon is still a cannon, and its range and power are several times greater than that of a musket.

If the cannons were transported to the island, they would be able to bombard them continuously outside the range of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. There were a lot of ammunition in the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, which was enough to blast the people of the Ming Dynasty into the sky.

"If we can kill that Daming Prince, you will be the first." Baron Nash said excitedly upon hearing this.

"It's just that you have been negligent for the time being, my lord. It's nothing." Froman said modestly. Even if he finally won the prince of Ming Dynasty, he didn't believe that Nash would hand him the first contribution to the company headquarters.

As soon as he said it, Nash immediately ordered 300 people to disassemble the artillery on the merchant ship. After working for a long time, the 300 people finally carried more than [-] artillery pieces to several raised boulders on the island.

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

"Then what are you waiting for? Fire the gun!" After three days of nesting in this place where the birds don't shit, Baron Nash didn't want to wait for a moment when he saw that the sun had already set to the west.

da-da-da-da-

Da da -- da -- da --

As soon as Baron Nash's words fell, the unique gunshots of AKM sounded instantly in the encirclement, and the gunners next to the ten guns closest to the encirclement were immediately called.

joke!Setting up 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 put the artillery on the high ground. Putting the artillery on the high ground will inevitably expose the gunner's figure. Without armor protection, AKM is almost invincible.

Baron Nash almost died of anger, three hundred people were busy for half an afternoon, Yang Tianbao and other twelve snipers took less than half an hour to put their efforts to waste.

On the fourth day, Nash finally made up his mind and mobilized the whole army to launch an attack early in the morning. Although Nash didn't know where the Ming army got the food, the ammunition was limited.

He did not believe that the ammunition stock of the Ming army could withstand the attacks of his soldiers.

Only half an hour later, the Dutch conceded defeat. The firepower of the Ming army was so fierce. Although there were only 800 people, they fought with the momentum of 3000 people. The Dutch retreated after leaving more than 50 corpses.

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

The atmosphere in the cave was a bit dignified, and the bodies of the eight Paoze who died in battle were placed on one side of the cave.

Those who have been able to follow Liu Hongjian to this day are all veterans. They have seen so many life and death, and they will never walk through mountains of corpses and seas of fire. This time, the soldiers did not shed tears, but how much did they have to take the first step in such a desperate situation? A little sentimental.

How long can they last?

The former Roshan has almost been consumed, but there is no shortage of fresh water. This broken island has one or even several rains almost every day.

"You guys, go out with me." Although the broad line is thick, it can also see the shortage of food.

The few soldiers who followed Kuo Duan were all from Guan Ning's iron cavalry back then, and soon five or six of them came over with the corpse of a Dutchman.

"You are mutton, we eat this." Kuo Duan pointed to the Dutchman on the ground and said.

Yang Tianbao and others looked at the Dutchman on the ground, glanced at his mouth and said nothing, but Liu Hongjian didn't say anything. He didn't order everyone to eat the Dutchman, but Kuo Duan took the initiative to save the remaining beef and mutton for other people.

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

There is a second one at the beginning of one person, and I don’t know if these people can really eat it or just to taste something new,
It was already getting dark, and after a while, the soldiers of the Ming army pulled over a few Dutchmen again.

The fire ignited, and the strange smell of meat began to fill the air again. Baron Nash roared angrily about the incompetence of his soldiers.

Froman was envious of the food of the Ming army in the encirclement, but he didn't 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 again, Liu Hongjian was sitting beside the fire thinking something, Chang Yu handed him a glass of water and sat down next to Liu Hongjian.

"Old Chang, if we really confess here, do you regret it?"
