The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 97

Zhu Hongyu will lead the recovery army from one victory to another!
Never stop, continue to move forward, until the shouts of expelling the Tartars and restoring China resounded throughout the land of China!
Zhu Hongyu flipped through the battle results and the battle damage report in his hand, and reviewed them casually.

In this battle, the Liberation Army suffered a total of 140 casualties.

Among them, 64 were killed in battle, 47 were disabled, and the rest were slightly injured.

It consumes [-] catties of gunpowder, [-] lead bullets for guns, [-] solid shells, and [-] catties of cannonballs.

One cannon, 36 muskets, 43 bayonets, 130 breastplates, seven shields, and 23 steel knives were damaged.

This is the price paid by the Liberation Army, but the food consumption during this period and the consumption of medicinal materials for the wounded are not included in it.

Further down are the results and seizures of the Liberation Army in this battle.

More than [-] enemies were killed, of which more than [-] were Spaniards, and the rest were all natives.

There were more than 300 Spaniards captured, but not many natives.

Because the aborigines ran too fast, it was not an easy task to capture the aboriginal prisoners of war.

More than a thousand muskets were seized, all of which were Spanish heavy-duty arquebuses with guaranteed quality.

In addition, there are some cold weapons equipped by the indigenous people.

However, the quality of these cold weapons is relatively rubbish. In the Guangfu Army, they are all remade and turned into iron ingots.

In addition to these, the Liberation Army also seized a lot of food and money.

The food was transported into the mountains by the Spaniards with great painstaking efforts, and in the end it was cheaper for the Liberation Army.

The money was also found by the Restoration Army from the dead and captured Spaniards!
There are about seven or eight thousand silver coins in total!

Not a small amount!

Of course, the Liberation Army could have seized the artillery from the Spaniards. The Spaniards brought a total of ten artillery pieces into the mountain, including eight light artillery pieces and two heavy artillery pieces.

However, Colonel Robin ordered the artillery to be blown up during the retreat, preventing the Liberation Army from capturing it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongyu couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help cursing in his heart.

"Damn red-haired ghost!"

"Damn it's not a thing!"

However, to say how disappointed Zhu Hongyu was, that would not be the case.

The Restoration Army is now able to cast light cannons by itself, especially after using the iron film casting method, the speed of the Restoration Army's cannon casting is beyond everyone's imagination.

As long as there is enough iron, Zhu Hongyu can produce a large number of light artillery at any time.

Although the heavy artillery is still exploring the technology of casting cannons with iron film, it will be possible to make them sooner or later.

Among the craftsmen of the Restoration Army, there are quite a few senior cannon-casting craftsmen.

Besides, at present, the Guangfu Army does not use heavy artillery.

To fight the natives in the mountains, light artillery is enough.

After leaving the mountain, if you hit the Spanish bastion, attacking the city in a hole is more reliable than bombarding it with heavy artillery.

Before the flowering bomb technology is mature and put into operation on a large scale, the artillery really can't beat the bastion!
The walls of the bastion are relatively low, and the artillery hit rate is not high. In addition, the thick walls have a certain inclination angle, which can remove the kinetic energy of the shells.

To put it bluntly, the solid bullet is just a big iron ball.

It really can't move the bastion!

After reading these, Zhu Hongyu ordered the whole army to repair and make preparations to continue to attack.

……

After repairing for two days, the Restoration Army, led by the Crocodile Tribe and other Iglots, marched towards the location of the Giant Wood Tribe.

Along the way, there were crocodile tribes leading the way, helping to guard the surroundings, transporting food, grass and supplies, and the marching speed of the recovery army was very fast.

This time the Restoration Army entered the mountains to clear up the aborigines, and the troops were divided into three groups.

But it's not a game of splitting up and attacking, but fighting each other.

There are no more than a hundred people along the way, the strength of a company!

Because the main force of the campaign against the aboriginals was not the Restoration Army, but the Iglot tribe who wanted to annex their own enemies and grow stronger.

What the Liberation Army has to do is to use firearms to break through the situation to help them open up the situation.

The rest of the personal fighting, clearing out the remnants of the enemy army, and hunting down in the mountains will be done by the crocodile tribe and other Igrot natives themselves.

Wu Laoliu returned to the team after recovering from injury.

His injury was not serious at all, it was just a skin trauma. After three or five days of recuperation, the injury had already recovered.

However, although his injury was not serious, it was really painful to clean the wound with alcohol for minor injuries!

Wu Laoliu changed his dressing several times, and then gritted his teeth several times at the native who shot him.

After he recovered from his injury and returned to the team, he heard that this trip into the mountains was to encircle and suppress the aborigines, so he stood up and asked to participate in it.

Even if it's not for meritorious service, you have to give this bad breath out!

Wu Laoliu strode forward with a musket on his back, and a few thunderbolts pinned to his waist. As he walked, the shaking thunderbolts would collide with each other from time to time, making a tinkling sound.

The breastplate on his body was very heavy, but Wu Laoliu was reluctant to take it off.

Because it has been proved that this breastplate can indeed save lives on the battlefield.

Wang Gao, who was watching with him on the bastion before, was saved by a breastplate on the battlefield.

Wang Gao shot at the Spaniards at the top of the city, but unfortunately was shot in the chest by lead bullets.

If it hadn't been for the breastplate to block him, Wang Gao would not have had his ribs shattered by the kinetic energy of the lead bullet, and it would have been as simple as entering the wounded barracks.

Wu Laoliu wiped the sweat from his forehead, but he was thinking in his heart that it was already almost November, and Nanyang was so damn hot.

Compared with my hometown Fujian and Nanyang, it is warm in winter and cool in summer!
When I was in my hometown, I hated the poverty of my hometown, the typhoon every year, the inability to grow food in the fields, the bullying of the landlords, and the exorbitant taxes of the Ming Dynasty.

But when I arrived in Nanyang, I realized that my hometown is good.

There are no four seasons in Luzon. It is hot all year round. The dry season is hot and dry, and the rainy season is hot and humid. There are red-haired ghosts who bully people.

No matter how much the old landlord in his hometown bullied people and levied a lot of miscellaneous taxes, he was not as ruthless as the red-haired ghost!
If it weren't for the fear of keeping a money rat tail and having no face to see his ancestors after death, Wu Lao Liu would not go to Nanyang!

The general wants to restore Ming Dynasty, drive out the Tartars, restore China, and fight back to his hometown.

Originally, Wu Laoliu thought it was unrealistic, but in his impression, the Eight Banners soldiers full of Tartars were very fierce.

Slaughtered so many cities, killed so many people, defeated so many generals of the Ming Dynasty, even Guo Xingye was defeated, lost Jinmen, and retreated to Dayuan Island.

Officials all say that the Eight Banners are less than [-], and they are invincible.

Where can they beat it?

But since the army was raised for so long, the general led them to fight the red hair and the natives, always fighting more with less, and they were invincible.

The accumulation of victories time after time shaped the self-confidence of the soldiers of the Liberation Army, and filled the Liberation Army with pride, feeling that they were the first-class strong soldiers in the world.

Wu Laoliu gradually began to feel that under the leadership of the general, they might really be able to fight back to their hometown one day in the future and rebuild the Ming Dynasty.

In the words of the great future, Wu Laoliu will not be a poor peasant in the countryside by then.

But the hero of the Ming Dynasty's restoration of the country, and the honorable master who retired with the Ming Dynasty and the country!
