Chapter 355: Island War (2) is as black as ink

This is the secret hiding point of the British army, and of course it cannot be leaked out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so the British troops on the troop carriers were thrown into the battlefield. In addition, considering the reason for the signal flares, the British army was also afraid that there would be Ming reinforcements coming. They wanted to occupy the island as soon as possible and build the necessary protective measures. As a result, the Ming army had no choice but to do it.

For the stubbornly resisting Ming army, the British army's thoughts, of course, could not be guessed. However, this does not hinder their determination to fight against the odds. After all, everyone knows that if it falls into the hands of the British army, the Ming army will not end well. Because according to the enmity and grudge between Ming and Ying, it is absolutely possible to say wanton, wanton abuse and humiliation not to kill them all.

Moreover, the Ming army has always had a strong reputation, bullying and insulting the Ming army, and the pleasure in his heart is naturally stronger.

So no matter what, you can't give up resisting. The Ming army's counterattack became more and more intense. So that on the beach, there is a rain of bullets, so it is not a mess.

Until the Ming army, who was exploring the island, hurriedly ran back and reported. There is a group of British troops of more than 1,000 people who are rushing here. The officer who led the team whistled. With the remnants of the Ming army, sneak into the dense forest.

So, without any hindrance, the British army began to assemble on the beach. Because it was a specific troop carrier, more than 2,000 people were loaded on each ship. Together, there are 8,000 people. Among them, there were 3,000 native British troops and 5,000 Indian mercenaries.

In addition, a ship was transported to the island first, so at this moment, the British army totaled more than 10,000 people.

Although the fierce battle was raging just now, no matter how many casualties there were, it would not exceed a thousand. And Guangzong No. 2, when it is full, there are only more than 700 people. However, due to the previous attrition, the surviving Ming army may be less than five hundred. Counting the lost and captured Ming troops, the number is even smaller.

This is far from being comparable to the British army.

It is no wonder that the Ming army fled into the dense forest.

At that moment, Chen Jiasheng and the others followed behind the officer's farts and strands, hurriedly running towards unknown places in the dark and dense forest. I don't know how long it took for them to keep running like this. Even if they were sweating profusely, no one dared to stop and take a breath. And when they heard the slightest noise on the road, they quickly hid like frightened birds.

This embarrassing appearance is the first time that most Ming soldiers have experienced it.

At this time, the sunlight in the dense forest is also flickering! The tiny silhouette couldn't touch the ground at all. The slightest coolness also permeated the entire dense forest. Let the sweat just flow, and lose the warmth in an instant. It's like just jumping from the Flaming Mountain into a 10,000-year-old ice cave. makes people both cold and fire, and it is extremely uncomfortable.

When the leading officer, deliberately slowed down the speed of the line. Chen Jiasheng only has time to look at the sky above his head!

It's just that everywhere you look, there are branches and leaves of Wu Pengpeng. It was as if a dark cloud had grown up, covering the sky. The rustling sound is also extremely fast from far and near! Needless to say, they guessed that it was the pursuing British troops.

Although in the barracks, they all learned how to throw off the enemy. But they were more numerous, more than 400 people. Gathered together, and in a hurry. It's hard to have the time and energy to erase the trail. Only then was the British army followed the footprints and chased up.

In this regard, the leading officer also expected it. Then a small group of people was divided and ran on. The other large number of people, like monkeys, quickly crawled to the treetops.

When the British arrived, they followed the trail of some of the people in front of them and chased after them. just happened to pass by the Ming army hiding in the treetops.

After chasing like this, until they reached the river, the British army did not catch a single Ming army.

It was getting late, and it was getting dark. The British troops who landed on the island were also in a hurry. They intensified their search and spilled all the British troops. vowed to create the Ming army that was hiding without falling.

But after turning it all over, the British army did not find the missing Ming army.

For this reason, the British army did not hesitate to set fire to the forest, trying to force the Ming army out.

It's a pity that the sky is not beautiful! The fire that had just been lit was poured cold by the heavy rain.

In the end, it is a tropical rainforest climate, and this rain is also a common thing. The Ming army hiding in the forest was lucky to avoid a catastrophe.

And this heavy rain is very powerful! It lasted for nearly two hours. When it was dark and the rain had stopped, the British wanted to set fire. However, the dense forest with extremely heavy water vapor makes it difficult for the fire to spread.

In desperation, the British had to suspend the search.

After all, at night, not only the sight is affected. All kinds of poisonous snakes and beasts will also run out to forage for food at this time.

For security reasons, we can only stop there.

And so it was until about three o'clock in the morning. The Ming army who hid was only under the orders of the officers. From the trees, sneak down to the ground.

Although the night was as dark as ink, the food in the Ming army was still very nutritious. In addition, the Ming soldiers often drank pine branch water. Therefore, everyone's night vision ability is basically no problem. And jungle marching is also a subject that they often practice when they are recruits.

So that at the moment, they can still walk on the ground in the dense forest.

But for safety reasons, they still held hands and formed a wall. Feel the darkness and slowly move in a specific direction. Although the approximate route is unclear, the army has equipped them with a compass coated with glow and light powder. Even if you are in an environment where you can't see your fingers, you can see the direction of the compass.

So the five human walls, after slowly groping, came to an unknown river. The turbulent river constantly emits a crisp crashing sound. The surrounding insects also match the melody, and the low sound does not stop. It was not affected by the arrival of the Ming army.

Although the vegetation here is also abundant, it is not as shady as in the dense forest. The sky overhead reveals a long and narrow slit, like a fairy's ribbon. The sparse stars also fell into their eyes.

This light is much better than before.

He followed the river all the way down.

As the river widens, so does the sky overhead. During the march, they also encountered a lot of poison. But fortunately, herbs such as anti-poisonous snakes were applied, so that there were not many injured people.

After walking like this for nearly half an hour, they heard the sound of the waves again, but they came to the sea. They were more cautious, for fear of making a little noise.

I saw that on the beach not far away, more than a dozen tents were set up and more than 20 fires were burned. The native British troops in twos and threes talked and laughed, gathered around the fire, and roasted the wild things on the island. Some of the Indian Asan, with envious faces, patrolled around the tents.

At the intersection of the sea and the river, there are still a number of small wooden boats. It was tied to the woods by the side, some distance from the tent. (To be continued.) )
