Daming pirates

Chapter 85 Attacking the Stronghold

After Nangantang was controlled by Hailang, the Hailang tribe stationed here have almost been reinforcing and expanding the stockade and dock here. The original stockade wall was only built with a layer of logs.

The logs are driven into the ground below the ground, and the structural strength is limited. It is no problem to block arrows and people, but it is a bit useless to block cannonballs. Now after Sea Wolf took over this place, they built a new log village outside the village wall.

Wall, leaving a distance of nearly ten feet between the two walls.

Between the two village walls, when they had nothing to do, the people stationed here collected sand, soil and gravel from the island and filled it between the two walls, and then compacted it, gradually turning it into a

A thick city wall is more than ten times stronger than the previous wall.

Moreover, there are many arrow stack perforations built on the outer wall of the village. The defenders can hide behind the arrow stacks and shoot arrows or muskets directly outside through the perforations without worrying about being shot by people outside.

middle.

In addition, there are small forts at every corner of the stockade, and the forts also have roofs, which can also block falling arrows and shells from above, protecting the personnel in the forts from harm. In the middle of the stockade, there are also built

A lighthouse, in addition to lighting the torch at night, can also be used as a lookout. Every move outside is under their surveillance, making it difficult to sneak attack.

Therefore, Ma Xiao and the Sea Wolf tribe members who stayed here did not feel too nervous when they saw so many of Hun Jianglong's men coming down. They just waited silently for them to come and die.

The musketeers had already polished their flintlock muskets, and had the ammunition at hand, ready to be loaded and fired at any time.

The sword players and spearmen had nothing to do at the moment, so they found bundles of javelins or crossbows to assist in the battle. When Hun Jianglong's men approached the wall, they could use these.

They had everything to deal with them. In many places, they even brought up some Molotov cocktails and threw them down when necessary. They could still burn the enemies who were stuck under the wall into turkeys.

The whole village was quiet. It was said that they were not nervous, but that was not necessarily the case. Some people couldn't help but start fighting after seeing so many enemies coming ashore. Some people felt that they suddenly had a strong urge to urinate.

Feeling anxious, after all, there are too many people on the other side. If they were all defeated, they would probably be ten times more numerous, so pressure is still necessary. No one is born a warrior who is not afraid of death.

Chen Jiu sent out more than 300 men. After landing, they gathered loudly outside the village. They prepared a few simple wooden ladders and set up a few miscellaneous cannons, and then once again attacked the sea wolves in the village.

The tribesmen started shouting.

"The people in the village have heard this, and you have all seen it. We are determined to capture this place today! Consider how much weight you have. Can you stop us?"

Besides, you have also seen by now that the many ships our boss has brought this time have already surrounded this place. Just because you are like a sea wolf, will he come to rescue you if he has the ability?

How long can you guard here? Won't we have to take it down sooner or later?

If you are sensible, just surrender as soon as possible. Who are you going to work with? Come and work under our boss, and you will still be in charge of the wine and meat, so that you can take care of your food! Why hang yourself on a tree with a crooked neck in the sea wolf?

Come down quickly, our boss will prepare good wine and meat for you, and there will be women for you to play with when you come out!"

Hun Jianglong's men made a loud noise outside the stronghold, tempting the Sea Wolf tribe guarding the stronghold to come out and surrender.

But no matter how loud they shouted, the village was still quiet. This time there was no one to answer the call, so they simply regarded them as nothing.

After waiting for a while, Chen Jiu found that there was still no movement in the stockade, so he became impatient. Pang Sen also came over to urge him to quickly take down the stockade, and the big guys also went in to take a breather and rest!

So he didn't want to delay it any longer. Anyway, the matter was at this point and there was no room for reversal, so let's start the fight!

Several cannon shots rang out outside the stockade, and several cannonballs immediately roared and hit the stockade wall. After several bangs, the cannonballs hit the stockade wall, causing sawdust to fly everywhere, but Hun Jianglong's men

The strange thing is that this wall seems to be much stronger. Several cannonballs hit it, but they were not able to penetrate and destroy it, but only broke a few logs.

At this time, someone with sharp eyes discovered that the logs were only the surface of the village wall. The inside of the wall was actually built with earth and rocks by sea wolves, so their cannonballs were of no use at all.

As a result, these Hunjianglong's men were immediately frustrated. Under the threat and coercion of their leader, they all rushed toward the stockade with strange screams. Some people carried the temporarily tied wooden ladders and tried to rush to the village.

Under the stockade wall, put up wooden ladders, climb up the stockade wall, and seize the stockade.

But as soon as their attack started, they saw a sudden burst of firelight on the wall of the village. These firelights were big and small. The big ones were shot by cannons, and the small ones were shot by firecrackers.

Immediately after the flash, they heard rumbling and banging sounds.

Hun Jianglong's men who were rushing in front suddenly let out a scream, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten of them were knocked to the ground.

It's their misfortune as well. They, Hunjianglong's subordinates, don't quite understand the power of concentrated fire and volleys. So far, they still use the old method. When going into battle, they rush forward in a swarm. There are many people and they are bold.

They felt daring only when they were gathered together, so when they started to attack the stronghold, more than 300 minions huddled together, as if they were afraid that others would not be able to defeat them.

To deal with such a group of targets, although the accuracy of the Nanyue Type 1 flintlock gun is not very good, it is really not easy for the musketeer to miss the target against such a target group.

So when these gangsters rushed about fifty steps outside the stockade, Ma Xiao ordered the fire on the wall of the stockade. The musketeers and gunners started firing without saying a word, and they all started holding the trigger together.

Hit it downwards.

As a result, the people running in front were naturally more unlucky. Even though more than a dozen of them were knocked down, a cannonball fell into the crowd without any bias, directly stringing the two guys together and tearing them to pieces.

.

The minced meat flying in all directions immediately hung on the bodies of some people nearby, scaring some of the gangsters into screaming, and some were even so frightened that they turned around and ran away behind them.

Chen Jiu was also frightened by the firepower of the stronghold. He quickly looked at it and felt his body hurt. He had just launched an attack, and in an instant he was beaten back by the sea wolves guarding the stronghold. Even

So they couldn't even touch the edge of the village wall.

Chen Jiu was so angry that he yelled and cursed his subordinates for being incompetent. He killed and injured more than a dozen people before being scared back. It was really embarrassing.

He was so angry that he went down to the shore and personally supervised the battle. He led the group of men and launched another attack on the stockade. He also killed a man who was so frightened that he wet his pants with a knife in two pieces, directly in front of the battle line.

This time, the gangsters did not dare to underestimate the enemy anymore. They ran around and unloaded many shields from the ship, and asked the people in front to hold the shields and push them forward side by side, trying to use the shield array to block the missiles shot from the wall.

They used arrows and bullets to cover them and put up wooden ladders on the wall of the village.

Looking at the shield array advancing in rows, the people on the wall became a little nervous, but the musketeers quickly completed the reloading, poked the barrel out of the firing hole, and carefully began to pass through the rear sight.

The crosshair is aimed at the target below.

As Ma Xiao gave another order, a series of firecrackers suddenly sounded on the wall. After the fire flashed on the wall, a plume of gunpowder smoke rose up.

Looking at the shield formation formed by Hun Jianglong's men below, gaps suddenly appeared one after another like the teeth of an old woman.

Although the flintlock gun built by Yu Xiaotian does not have a very long range and its penetration is not very strong, where is the weight of the 15 mm caliber lead bullet?

When the grain gunpowder is fully charged, the kinetic energy given to these lead bullets is not small at all. The shield looks very good, but if that thing blocks arrows, there is probably no problem, but if you want to block the flying lead bullets

, which is very problematic.

The fifteen millimeter bullets hit the shield, which can be said to be one hit at a time. Not only can they directly penetrate the thin shield, but the bullets still carry huge kinetic energy and hit the person holding the shield in the blink of an eye.

Everyone can naturally imagine what the result will be.

Screams could be heard one after another below the village, and more than a dozen minions fell to the ground after being beaten. It was better that they were dead, so they went directly to report to the Lord of Hell. Those who could not die for a while were miserable, so they covered their wounds.

Lying on the ground is full of

As they rolled, all the kinetic energy of the bullet was transmitted to their bodies. Not only did it penetrate the skin and tear the muscles, it also shattered the bones below. Even the bones that did not touch the bullet were still transmitted by the muscles.

Kinetic energy breaks.

And once the bullet hits the human body, it will transfer excess kinetic energy to the surroundings, and the internal organs of the human body will also be torn apart. The guys who can't die for a while can only lie on the ground and let out inhuman screams.

Like a pig being slaughtered, it screams as miserably as possible.

Some of Hun Jianglong's men were so frightened that they wanted to run back, but when they turned around, they saw Hun Jianglong with a group of cronies, holding big swords and staring at them from behind. If they went back, they would probably be like the guy in front.

This group of gangsters had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to move forward.

The musketeers on the wall hurriedly reloaded, set up their flintlock guns and poked out the firing holes, waiting for orders from the superior force.

(Today, I would like to express my special thanks to Brother You Longcao for the reward! Today is the Festival of Seeing You in Undress, I wish you good luck today! Hehe!)
