Amazon rainforest.
Located at the equator, it has high temperatures and rain all year round, with high precipitation and hot and humid conditions.
Deep in the rainforest, Sisi's Freedom Corps is hiding. They are evading the pursuit of the colonists.
Generally speaking, the colonists of South America could not shake the Freikorps, but Sisi beat those who should not be beaten.
After the Ming Dynasty took over Guyana, it sent more than a thousand soldiers to station and upgrade Guyana's industry.
It is mainly related to the cultivation of sugar cane, which is used to make wine and sugar.
After Sisi swept through central South America, he suddenly occupied the high ground with his clever IQ. He led the Freedom Corps to attack Guyana.
Then they experienced a defeat. Seeing this opportunity, other colonists united to launch a siege against the Free Corps. The remnants of the Free Corps retreated into the Amazon jungle.
Sisi woke up from a bed covered with branches and leaves. He first checked the extinguished campfire, then jumped down and plunged his feet into the water.
The weather in the Amazon rainforest can change at any time.
Sisi has to face rising tides from time to time, sudden heavy rains, and various poisonous insects and beasts.
When the Freedom Corps camped in the rainforest, they needed to find several similar trees, then use wooden sticks to build triangular pallets on the tree trunks, and lay beds on the pallets.
In order to prevent mosquitoes and wild beasts, they need to lay a fireproof layer with wet mud on the elevated shelter, and then arrange a bonfire.
Sun rise.
Sisi toured the camp, checking on the status of the soldiers and assigning tasks for the day.
He was giving orders to a soldier when a small dark figure ran from a distance.
The little black man Asa ran, his feet avoiding the intertwined tree roots and stepping on the water, causing a circle of splashes.
Sisi was alert. He pulled out the flintlock gun on his waist and pointed the muzzle at the figure in the distance.
"General, don't shoot, don't shoot, it's me!"
Arriving before anyone else, Asa raised his hands and waved.
When he got closer, Sisi saw that it was one of his own and silently put down his flintlock.
Asa came to Sisi and said breathlessly: "General, colonists were discovered at the northern outpost, and..."
"what else?"
"There are also the Ming army, they are carrying the dragon flag and the sun and moon flag, and they are searching all over the place with the colonists!"
Sisi looked horrified when he heard about the Ming army. The first thing he thought of was that there were traitors in the army.
The Amazon rainforest is so big, and Sisi and the Freedom Corps have penetrated deep into the interior. They must be careful along the way and dismantle the shelters they built before setting out on the road.
The woods here are dense, and there are several heavy rains every day that can hide the traces.
It is really difficult for Sisi to understand why the station was still exposed.
He looked at Asa with an unkind expression and asked, "Did you lead the Ming army here?"
"Huh? That's unfair, General. It was the northern outpost that sent me a message, asking the General to evacuate as soon as possible.
If I betray the general, there is no need to report to the general. "
Hearing this, Sisi calmed down.
Indeed, as Asa said, if someone betrays him, it will not be Asa standing in front of Sisi now, but the Ming army with live ammunition.
Sisi asked: "How far is the Ming army?"
"Back to the general, the Ming army is less than two miles away from the outpost. During the time when I came back to report the news, it is estimated that they have already crossed the outpost!"
The outpost is only two kilometers away from the station. Given the marching conditions in the Amazon rainforest, the Ming army can reach the station at noon.
Must evacuate quickly!
Sisi asked Asa to continue monitoring the Ming army to the north, while he directed the soldiers to pack up supplies and evacuate.
The remnants of the Freedom Corps, which numbered more than 800 people, quickly checked their weapons, carried bottles and cans on their backs, and then stood in the water up to their knees.
There is no time to dismantle the shelter. All Sisi can do is to evacuate first and then find a way to get rid of the Ming army.
Three miles away.
A reinforced company of more than 200 people, commanding more than 700 colonial troops from various countries, is searching for the Freedom Corps in the rainforest.
Sun Zhongren wore a light and breathable black military uniform, a Taishang Laojun brand rubber jumpsuit on his legs, two suspenders wrapped around his shoulders and clamped on the waistband of his back.
He held a telescope on his chest, held a pistol in his left hand, and wielded a saber in his right hand to cut down the branches blocking the road in front of him.
The Ming troops behind them were all in the same uniform. Everyone was carrying a huge waterproof backpack, stuffed with tents, food, medicine and other supplies.
The colonial troops did not have this treatment. They rolled up their trouser legs and soaked their feet in the water.
Many soldiers' feet were soaked and turned white.
Some soldiers even had their ankles scratched by sharp objects in the water. After taking medicine provided by the Ming army, they lay on stretchers and were carried forward by their comrades.
Everyone was walking through the rain forest like this, and suddenly a heavy rain fell from the sky. The rain passed through the dense forest and sparsely fell on everyone.
The Ming army put their cloaks back on their shoulders and changed their hoods into steel helmets.
Several flashes of light came from the dense forest in the distance. A scout held up a flashlight and read the secret order, then waded back to the team through the black and yellow water.
"Company Commander Sun, we found a large shelter 1,200 meters ahead. Judging from the scale, we seem to have caught up with the Freedom Corps!"
"That's great!"
Sun Zhongren swept away the sweltering heat of the past few days, his eyes gleaming, and he shouted behind him.
"Everyone is here, quickly replenish your physical strength, check weapons and ammunition, and attack in five minutes!"
After receiving the order, the Ming army soldier opened the side zipper of his backpack from the left side of his waist and took out a compressed biscuit. He also took off the water bottle hanging from his waist.
With a mouthful of biscuits and a mouthful of water, the Ming soldiers quickly finished eating and then began to inspect their firearms.
The whole process was quiet and orderly.
On the other hand, the colonist troops were leaning against tree trunks, and some even sat down in the water.
There was also a fight over a bottle of wine.
The scene was chaotic.
Sun Zhongren shook his head secretly. Although the colonial army was not a regular army, its military discipline was indeed bad.
He somewhat understood why the colonists, holding muskets in their hands, were beaten to the point of being confused by Sisi.
Five minutes later, the Ming army fumbled forward in a skirmish line, while Sun Zhongren collapsed and reprimanded the colonial officers.
In five minutes, the dogs had finished a bowl of dog food, and the colonial soldiers had not yet opened the lid of the kettle.
In desperation, Sun Zhongren could only allow their request to eat while walking.
When the time came to noon, the heavy rain stopped, and the coalition forces also entered the Free Corps station.
However, the entire camp was deserted, leaving only the ashes of the slightly warm campfire.
Sun Zhongren touched a handful of ashes and looked up at the gloomy sky speechlessly. It was going to rain again.
He turned around and saw the colonist's mental state, which made his head split.
I saw the colonists searching for treasure in the camp. They accidentally found a jar left by the Freedom Corps, and then ran around the camp with a headband on their heads like crazy, causing everyone else to burst into laughter.
Sun Zhongren put on a mask of pain and put his right hand on his forehead.
