"The long wait will only add color to the moment of harvest!"
"Without the long wait, the harvest is meaningless!"
Kayal was very calm.
He once fought with the army in the New World, commanding the army to ambush the indigenous Indian resistance forces.
He waited for half a month before the Indian resistance forces entered the encirclement.
From that time on, he knew that if he wanted to ambush the enemy, he must have enough patience!
The two of them sat on opposite sides of the table and drank from each other. The fragrant rum relieved Yada's inner anxiety a lot.
Outside the wooden house, other Spanish soldiers were also burying pots and making rice.
The aroma of food fills your nostrils!
At this moment, a soldier ran in from outside the mine, and the soldier rushed to Kayal to report.
"Captain, Captain Kayal!"
"The Chinese rebels are coming, and we encountered their sentinels!"
"At the most, we and the enemy will fight tomorrow!"
Kayal's eyes lit up, and then he gave instructions.
"Haha, it's really great!"
"Tell me to go down and have all the troops in ambush hide, so as not to be discovered. The rest will be ready to fight at any time."
"Follow the plan!"
"..."
…
There is still darkness in the mine!
The torches were put out, and there was no light in the dark mine.
The darkness caused the Liberation Army soldiers in the mine to lose the concept of time.
Wang Youcai and others didn't know how long they had been hiding in the mine. Three days? Four days? Or longer?
No one knows!
Wang Youcai licked his dry lips, his tongue touched the crack at the corner of his mouth, and he took a deep breath subconsciously.
Touching his withered belly, Wang Youcai sighed and said.
"no!"
"We can't wait any longer, our food and water are gone!"
"Notify brothers, prepare to fight to the death, we will break out!"
Wang Youcai's heart felt a little cold. They were full of hope and waited for rescue, but the rescue was delayed.
Tortured by hunger, darkness, and thirst, their hopes gradually turned into despair!
There is a sadness in my heart that I have been abandoned!
Unconsciously, some resentment towards Zhu Hongyu arose!
We agreed to live and die together, so why abandon them?!
Next to Wang Youcai, a man named Zhao Heipi said weakly.
"We must have misjudged Zhu Hongyu!"
"When the incident broke out, we agreed to live and die together, and to share wealth and honor, but they just deceived us into risking our lives to conquer the world for him!"
Everyone was resentful and complained one after another.
"It's not a fucking thing!"
"I trusted the wrong person!"
"..."
Wang Youcai sighed and said.
"Although the general has abandoned us, the death I have been waiting for is worth it!"
"At the very least, our family has been saved and can be taken care of by the Liberation Army. We no longer have to be bullied by the red hair!"
"I will kill Hongmao, kill the overseer, and eat and drink happily during this period. This life will be considered in vain. The general has nothing to apologize to us for."
"Besides, Hong Mao has surrounded us and we are surrounded, and it is clear that there is a trap. Do you want to see the general leading his troops to rescue us, and then being ambushed?"
"Think about it, if the Liberation Army led by the general is defeated, what will happen to my family and me?"
After Wang Youcai finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Although they cannot accept that they have been abandoned, if they think about it carefully, there is really nothing they can do to save themselves and others!
Seeing everyone's silence, Wang Youcai spoke again.
"Cheer up, everyone, and prepare to break out!"
"Even if we die, we must die with value and heroism. We cannot die quietly in this mine. We must let those red-haired people outside the mine know that we Chinese are not easy to bully.
!”
However, just as Wang Youcai was mobilizing his subordinates, there were faint sounds of neat volleys of gunfire outside the mine.
With such movement, it was obvious that a large number of soldiers and horses were exchanging fire!
Apart from the fact that the general sent troops to rescue them and encountered Hongmao's resistance, they could not think of any other possibility!
The expressions of everyone in the mine suddenly changed. Zhao Heipi's lips trembled and he spoke emotionally.
"Is this...is this the general coming to save us?"
"We are not given up!"
Everyone was moved and spoke one after another.
"I knew it, I knew the general would not break his promise and abandon us!"
"Someone is coming to save us, haha, someone is coming to save us!"
"..."
Just now they felt that they had been abandoned and given up, and how desperate and desolate they felt in their hearts, now they are so excited and excited.
They are not given up!
Wang Youcai was not as happy as the others. Instead, he showed a very ugly expression and sighed.
"Oh!"
"The general shouldn't have sent people here!"
"I'm afraid there is an ambush in Hongmao! If the whole army and our family members are harmed because of us, wouldn't we be able to escape the blame even if we die?!"
Zhao Heipi suggested from the side.
"Company Commander, let's not wait any longer and start breaking out too!"
"As long as we can rush out, we can notify the general in advance that there is an ambush, and the army will be able to evacuate safely!"
Under the emotion, Zhao Heipi breathed heavily.
A torch was lit, and the light illuminated faces full of excitement and excitement.
Wang Youcai nodded vigorously and said.
"right!"
"I can't just sit around and wait!"
"The general has sent troops to help, so we must cooperate!"
One by one, the soldiers of the Liberation Army clenched their weapons and stood up from the ground.
The morale, which was originally extremely low, instantly rose after knowing that he had not been abandoned.
Now, even if they were asked to charge the thirty-seven remaining soldiers against an enemy ten times their own size, they would still dare to do so!
Well, there are only thirty-seven people left in the Liberation Army in the mine!
In the process of killing the indigenous team that entered the mine, four more soldiers of the Liberation Army died.
It was a good thing that they were familiar with the environment in the mine, otherwise it would have been impossible to wipe out twenty natives at the expense of just four people.
…
Half a quarter of an hour ago, on the only road leading to the mine!
The Liberation Army, which was about the same number, was facing the two to three hundred Spanish Army troops led by Caial himself.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer!
The twenty Liberation Army soldiers in the front row wore single-sided breastplates, and half of them were holding flintlocks in the center of the array.
Their formation was extremely tight, with people crowded shoulder to shoulder, their muskets aimed at the front, and they strode forward.
Beside them were ten Liberation Army soldiers holding matchlock guns in a relatively spread-out formation.
These ten musketeers also wear single-sided breastplates!
This is the rule of the Liberation Army. The Liberation Army has a limited number of armors and can only equip its soldiers.
If you want to wear armor, you have to stand at the front during battle and block the bullets for the robe behind you.
Behind the twenty armored soldiers were rows of melee soldiers holding spears and swords, the triangular spear tips flashing with cold light.
