Chapter 89 Desperate

There are so many savages under Chen Mu's command!

First there was Yang Zhaolong’s 500 New Ming Immigration Group, and then there was Lin Manjue’s King of Guam Mountain.

There is no way to wreck the ship. The damaged shark ship has no materials to repair it, and it does not dare to log and repair it on the enemy's territory. Lin Manjue did not want his ship to be captured by the enemy. He was unwilling to give up when he fled back, so he had to go to the ship to wreck.

The folding masts of the five small shark boats were put down by them. More than 300 people dismantled the noose that pulled the iron anchor on the boat. They took nine or two tigers to pull the five big boats to the shore and looked for a location on the edge of the dense forest to climb over. The masts were also short, and at least it was convenient to hide the boat.

He tried hard to dig sand and extract soil, and was worried about the enemy's patrol. He disguised the five small shark boats as if they were earth and stone slopes. It was true that Lin Manjue thought it was convenient for the ship to be held back on the ground.

Several large stones were piled up outside the muzzle porthole, leaving a hole for one person to enter and exit. There were small boxes of items that were not available for transporting away, especially things like kimchi and tea that were resistant to storage. They were moved back one by one, just to use the roof of the ship as the floor and the bottom of the ship became a board.

Whether it is a clever or a clever strategy, Lin Manjue's plan to evade to the east and hide on the east side of the island was achieved. He sent several teams of mountain men to form a group of people to drill into the dense forest and find a suitable place to hide. During the time when they also explored the surrounding situation, for eight days, the large troops hiding near the ship discovered that an enemy ship was sailing near the sea, and they did not find them.

Of course I can't find these ships. Sometimes Lin Manjue can't find them when he walks away and comes back, let alone the sea more than ten miles away!

"The commander rushed to attack, with a strong wind in between. At least four months, we have to wait for six months, and we may not be able to wait for six months."

At night, Lin Manjue did not dare to light a fire on the beach. They drank hot porridge on the boat and carefully opened the window to let the fireworks slowly dissipate. The chef who made porridge in the cabin was choked and his eyes were red and his tears could not be stopped. The whistlemen from each team sat around the beach, listening to the general talk about the plan behind.

"There are no reinforcements, nor are there any follow-up supplies. The island has two lives, and even if the prisoners are caught, they cannot speak."

"There are ninety-four large and small cannons, 1,200 cannonballs, 26 small flag arrows, and 70 thunder in the palm of the palm; 370 bird guns, more than 9,000 guns, and 14,000 kilograms of gunpowder barrels and small boxes; water and food... only enough for me 376 people to use for 66 days."

Lin Manjue breathed a long breath. No one could see his face clearly under the night, but his tone sounded bright and all the supplies became consumables, and they would be ruined after using them.

Anyone who encounters this situation will be discouraged, but after being depressed, they can only walk forward with a tough bullet. They have to live.

"There is not much gunpowder, and there is not enough water and food. I will take out two or five kilograms of gunpowder tomorrow, and the rest will be hidden in the cabin. It is too much gunpowder. As for water and food, I will forget it. I will eat enough for three months. I will put the kimchi and tea first. General Deng said that it is useful to eat it with bleeding from his mouth, so I will wait until it bleeds before eating-the little scholar comes over."

The scholar was named Lin Xiao, but he did not pass the exam, and he was not even a Tongsheng. He had been a junior of the Lin family in the village for a few years. He was always obedient to Lin Manjue. Now he was wearing his breastplate and joined the army. He heard this and came out of the cannon window and sat aside and saluted: "Uncle."

"From today, you find a book and write down every word of me. In two months, you will take them over a boat and head north. Even if you can't reach Luzon, you can still hold on to Guangdong and Fujian."

Lin Xiao asked, "Uncle, then you?"

"If I don't find out the truth, I won't go back. If I find out the truth, the general will come over and ask someone to lead the way. This time I explore the enemy is a dead end. I will know before going to sea that I will die for a lifetime."

What he said about life-threatening is not real death or real life, but changing one's fate.

Lin Manjue commanded the general 440 people. Chen Lin made a promise that when they explored the complete star map of the general sailing in Guam and the deployment of enemy troops on the island, Xu was sent to the Navy Martial Arts Hall, each of whom would be able to serve as the general of the Qianzong and the first-level general of the thousand households, and he would lead the fleet to reuse it in the future.

Even if a person dies, those who make meritorious children can enter school, and those who have no children can enter school, which means forty-four people.

But Lin Manjue didn't want to tell his subordinates about this. They would know all this when they went back. He waved his hand and said, "The fishing nets and fishing gear are all available. On the eighth day of landing on the island, there will be enemy ships patrols. When you see the enemy ship next time, you will know their patrol intervals."

"There are also knives and axes. The wood I have cut in the past few days is enough to make a few small rafts. I will combine the boats that have been laid down on the boat. I will pick the enemy's fishing on the coast when they are not patrolling. In addition, I will draw 60 people with good crossbow shooting skills to go hunting in the mountains. Don't use guns. There are only twenty crossbows in the baggage. Whatever you can hit is what you can. If you can't, pick wild fruits and look for the water flow along the way."

"I picked up the arrow cluster, less than a thousand, and the thing will be gone after it is used up."

If the arrow shaft is gone, you can cut it again. If the arrow cluster is gone, they can't hammer it out with their hands.

"The key is to find out the enemy situation. Guam is not big. It takes only one day to go from the west of the island to the east of the island. First find out the surrounding three miles before making subsequent plans."

Speaking of this, Lin Manjue's face was a little fierce under the night. He looked around the whistle officers on both sides and said, "We may not die here. As long as we hide ourselves first, all these things... can be snatched!"

Why did he come to visit Guam? Because this is a camp on the front line of the Western Yi. There are ships and enemy troops, so he must have stored huge amounts of food, grass and weapons. Any lower-level officer can guess such things.

Moreover, compared with the Western Yi army, even any army in the world, including the Ming Dynasty, Lin Manjue did not believe that there were any of them who could have more guns, cannons and firearms than them under the same force.

Three hundred and seventy-six people, three hundred and seventy guns, and ninety-four cannons, who can have so many firearms and equipment?

Even Mr. Chen’s personal soldiers were like this, and they were not as good as theirs. After all, no one had any crazy people to remove all the naval guns on the ship.

However, the progress of things was not as smooth as Lin Manjue imagined. On the 12th day after they landed on the island, several search teams of American soldiers led by Spanish lieutenants returned from the north of the island, roughly swept across the eastern coast of the island where they were, and then swept southward.

Relying on the scouts to discover it early, Lin Manjue's troops who were hiding in the cabin and in the sand, they escaped the search dangerously, just in response to Deng Zilong's divination, and were in danger.

With the help of the telescope stretched out from the cabin, Lin Manjue glanced clearly from a distance, and saw their enemies clearly. In the hot and humid tropical rainforest, led by several white Westerners, a group of Indian soldiers with extremely strong figures, holding wooden stone weapons, shirtless or wearing weird cotton clothes.

He saw someone wearing a tiger-head mask.
