That evening, on the sand of the beach camp, most of the traversers gathered to discuss their next move.

Tang Jian stood up first and apologized to everyone on behalf of Wang Haiyang, who remained in the city, and several other comrades-in-arms of the armed commando. As professional soldiers, their failure to detect this raid in advance was a dereliction of duty.

But everyone was also very reasonable - they had no understanding of the formation and combat methods of the Ming army, and could not judge the signs. It was even difficult for them to distinguish between the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and the common people, who were all pitifully malnourished. In fact, in the eyes of the traversers, those ancient people all looked similar and dressed similarly, just like foreigners looking at Chinese for the first time - they all had flat faces.

There was criticism, but there was also commendation -- Wang Ruobin, a former black gun dealer, was unanimously praised by several expert soldiers. The failure rate of these weapons made by him was extremely low in the fierce battle, and there was basically no jamming and bullet jamming, which once again proved that the domestic copycat level was enough to replace similar international products.

The ammunition part that engineer Xu Hui is responsible for is also very good, but for a large enterprise such as Northern Ordnance, the authenticity rate of more than 99% is qualified, which is not unusual.

"The key now is to find out who attacked us and whether they have a follow-up plan!"

The dismissal went straight to the point, and at this time Beiwei stood up:

"I 'asked' about a dozen ......"

Beiwei's buddy is silent on weekdays, but he was born as an authentic scout, trained in the reconnaissance battalion of a large military region, and he has only been retired for half a year, and the combat skills he learned in the army have not been lost. During the daytime battle today, this guy was shot at a gun, and the people who died under his gun even exceeded Tang Jian and Wang Haiyang, two regular soldiers.

Later, he took Huang Xiaodong, a local, with him to "question" the prisoners, but Huang Xiaodong was seen repeatedly rushing out of the room used for interrogation and retching on the ground, apparently irritated. Strangely, there were no screams in the room, and there were no obvious injuries on the bodies of the captives who were dragged out, but their faces were pale and their spirits were extremely depressed.

At such times, of course, the traversers do not think about the human rights of the captives, they need the most detailed information. And the northern latitude did ask a lot of things.

The first is the identity of the attackers, this time the attackers they encountered were united by two parts, the group in the city was the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, from the Danzhou Guard Station next door to Lingao County. And the group on the beach turned out to be a group of pirates stationed near Hainan Island under the subordinates of Liu Xiang, the leader of the sea pirates in the Ming Dynasty!

"They agreed: the regular army would attack the city warehouses, the pirates would attack the camps and ships, our heads would be handed over to the Ming government for merit, and the pirates would get the big iron ship. As for the women and the goods, whoever grabs them counts. ”

Beiwei spoke lightly in a slightly sarcastic tone, while everyone next to him looked at each other.

"The pirates and the Ming government army actually joined forces against us? This is also an exaggeration. ”

Xie Xi frowned and glanced to the side:

"And it was originally judged that it would take at least a month for the North Korean army to react, but now it's only been two weeks, and these guys are so active?"

Standing next to him was the dog-headed military advisor Pang Yu, who immediately waved his hand to shirk his responsibility:

"Hey, I'm not Zhuge Liang, and the history books never said that the Ming government army would wear a pair of pants with pirates."

"The reason why they reacted so quickly, I can ask why......

Beiwei said slowly, and at the same time looked at Tang Jian and smiled:

"Do you remember the thousand-household official we killed in the warehouse compound?"

"Huh?"

"He is the brother of the Danzhou Wei Commander."

"No wonder ......"

It is precisely because of the existence of this layer of kinship that the Danzhou Wei commander did not act according to the routine. It stands to reason that the decision on whether to send troops or not should be made by civilian officials, and commanders can only decide how to fight, but cannot decide whether to send troops. Obviously, the commander was also well aware of the inefficiency of the bureaucratic system in the Ming Dynasty, and if he had followed the usual report, it would take at least half a year to get results -- this was still the most natural situation, and at that time this gang of "would-be robbers" had already slipped away -- according to common sense.

As a result, the vengeful commander used personal connections...... The power of pirates.

Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhilong were the two largest pirate forces in the South China Sea during this period. They were originally sworn brothers, but in 1628, that is, the first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong accepted the Ming Dynasty government's recruitment to change his career to become an official, and Liu Xiang still insisted on doing his old job, and the two fell out.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not unusual for the coastal Ming army to collude with pirates, the Ming Dynasty has banned the sea for many years, and theoretically the coastal areas cannot be inhabited. What do those pirates eat without supplies from coastal ports? Especially in a place like Hainan Island, where the emperor is far away, it was originally used as a place of exile in history, and even officials were degraded before they came, let alone any normal order.

The Danzhou Wei commander obviously had a lot of energy, and it only took more than half a month to complete the negotiations. He dispatched the most capable and strong soldiers in the Danzhou Guard, led by one of the most brave and warlike subordinates. Liu Xiang had even more manpower mobilized there, and it was said that all the armed forces near Hainan Island had been drawn from it, because the pirates coveted the strange iron-hulled ship.

The two sides originally agreed to act at the same time, but there was no walkie-talkie between them, and the so-called "at the same time" was just an estimate of the time to act together. On the contrary, although the crossing is separated from each other, under the contact of the walkie-talkie, the information is smooth, and there is an immediate reaction when this side is beaten.

"***, what kind of world is this, the combat effectiveness of pirates is actually stronger than that of the regular army!"

After learning the real situation, Lao Ma and the others couldn't help but curse, indeed, the Ming government army in the city, which claimed to be the elite of all the Danzhou guards, was shot and bombarded by six people for less than five minutes and then scattered and fled, but a group of rabble on the beach held out for more than half an hour under the rain of bullets and bullets and did not break up. And they even know how to lie on the ground to dodge bullets! This caused a lot of trouble to the traversers than the officers and soldiers.

"The pirates of the Ming Dynasty had a broader knowledge than the government army, which is actually quite normal......"

The old professor Li Mingyuan spoke slowly, and briefly popularized the knowledge of Ming Dynasty pirates: Liu Xiang and his subordinates are not dirt buns, they were developed by the Dutch. So these pirates are no strangers to firearms and know the weaknesses of firearms. The number of people is several times more than that of the Ming army, so it is naturally difficult to deal with.

However, the power of modern firearms is still beyond the imagination of these ancients, and the pirates pay a heavy price for it. In history, Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhilong fought until 1635 before they were separated, and before he died, he also killed Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zhihu, which should be said to be a very tough character. However, after the battle of Hainan Island, Liu Xiang's elite can be said to have suffered heavy losses, and the pressure on Zheng Zhilong on him will not be reduced. Professor Li was very skeptical that the traversers had flapped the butterfly's wings and made the big pirate leader disappear ahead of schedule.

However, compared to the fate of the sea thief, the traversers are more concerned about their own safety. When it came time to decide what to do in the future, the quarrel broke out again.

"I still insist: we should leave Hainan Island as much as possible, and leave this continent that is about to become extremely chaotic. Go to Australia, and even to the Americas! ”

Ling Ning once again brought up his earliest Jianyì, but Pang Yu immediately refuted it as he did last time:

"How to get there? Our oil simply can't hold out that far. In case of loss of power at sea, we will all die! ”

"You can convert a sailboat."

Master Zheng, a mechanic, suddenly interjected, which embarrassed Pang Yu.

"Huh? Master Zheng, that's not what you said last time I asked you! ”

"I've thought about it carefully in the past few days, and it's still okay to set it up. There is a large sail in the front, middle and rear, plus a side sail to adjust the wind direction...... It's just that you need a lot of fabric. ”

"That's right, Australia hasn't been colonized in this era, let's go to Australia to develop. Slowly descend along the islands of Southeast Asia to reach Australia. Australia is much safer than it is here. ”

Ling Ning was enthusiastic to build again, his temperament was obviously relatively peaceful, although he was also very decisive at critical moments - for example, he was on the ship during the day, but he still avoided such things as fighting and killing.

A few people were whispering, most of them had a hesitant look on their faces, and the battle during the day had scared many people.

"I'm against it."

Xie Xi raised his hand and raised three fingers:

"Three reasons. First, we come to this era, and our knowledge of the history of the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as an advantage. We are now able to sit together and discuss calmly because of that advantage. But if you go to a place where no one is around, and start from scratch with a black eye, this advantage is lost. ”

"Second, we have set up a preliminary base here, and we have consumed a lot of the modern supplies carried on the ship. If we give up a qiē and start from scratch at this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to have the conditions like now. ”

"As for the third point...... Xie Xi glanced at everyone and said slowly: "We crossed the sea near here, and the same incident may happen again." Maybe...... It's just that maybe, one day, we will have the opportunity to travel back in time, to the 21st century, to our own time. ”

Everyone was silent for a moment, although no one mentioned it, but the thought of going home was haunted in everyone's hearts at any time. Although Xie Xi said that it was very slim, everyone also knows that there is little hope, even if there is a millionth hope, who would give up?
