Daming pirates

The power of muskets in this era often relies on concentrated fire to produce a shocking killing effect. If the shots are fired sporadically, it will not be able to make up for the accuracy defects of the muskets, even if it is fired.

The target will not scare the opponent, so since the establishment of the Sea Wolf Warriors, there has been a clear rule that no one is allowed to fire without permission before the leader gives an order. Violators will be severely punished after they come down.

Therefore, every time the musketeers fire, they must be under the command of the superior force before they dare to draw fire. Moreover, when reloading is completed on the battlefield, they will shout loudly: "Loading is complete!"

Ma Xiao now played the role of a temporary musketeer commander. He thought it was very good. When all the musketeers completed reloading, he waved and shouted again: "Fire!"

As a result, another row of muskets was fired from the wall of the village, and nearly ten of Hun Jianglong's men were knocked to the ground.

Moreover, the artillery on the wall of the village was not idle either. They took turns firing at the outside of the village. The shells roared and fell into the enemy group, causing the blood and flesh of Hun Jianglong's men to fly everywhere.

Hun Jianglong didn't expect that the Sea Wolf tribe stationed here had such strong firepower. They just met each other, and his men laid out dozens of corpses in front of the village, paying a heavy price.

Although he kept firing cannons to bombard the stockade, the shells hitting the wall only broke a few pieces of the outer layer of the logs, but they were basically unable to effectively kill those hiding in the arrow stacks on the wall.

The Sea Wolf tribe in the back.

He watched rows of muskets being lowered from the wall. Every time the Sea Wolf tribe fired a volley of muskets, several or even a dozen of their enemies were knocked down. After a while, these attacking Hun Jianglong's

The men collapsed again and fled behind them like a tide.

Even if they turned around and fled, the Sea Wolf tribe did not let them go. They still fired at their backs, knocking some of the fleeing minions to the ground, and making those Hun Jianglong's subordinates even more frightened.

Hun Jianglong's head got bigger...

Hun Jianglong, his fleet and his men had been staying in Nangantang for two full days. During these two days, he tried his best to organize no less than ten attacks on the stronghold.

However, the firepower of the Sea Wolf tribe guarding this place was really fierce. Every time he organized an attack, the Sea Wolf tribe was repulsed without exception.

In the past two days, Chen Jiu lost at least nearly 200 lives of his men just outside the village. Many of them did not die, but after being seriously injured, Chen Jiu's treatment conditions were not enough.

There was no way to save their lives, so even if the injured were carried down, they could only be left on the shore and watched helplessly as they slowly died amidst the wails.

This kind of battle has almost become a one-sided massacre. As a result of many attacks, Hun Jianglong's men were beaten back without even being able to touch the stronghold wall.

But once Hun Jianglong was so angry that he sent his cronies into battle, forcing nearly three hundred men to charge together. After paying a heavy price, he finally rushed to the bottom of the village wall and successfully built a wooden ladder.

On the wall of the village, we followed the wooden ladder and started to climb up the wall.

Just when Hun Jianglong was overjoyed and felt that he had a chance to attack the stronghold this time, the Sea Wolf tribe members who were guarding the stronghold suddenly threw many kerosene bottles at the wall of the stronghold, and immediately lit the outside of the stronghold wall into a blazing fire.

The fire broke out, and even the few wooden ladders erected were lit as torches.

As a result, the minions attached to the ladder were like grasshoppers being strung up and grilled. They fell down with their bodies burning and were burned alive under the wall in the blink of an eye.

In the end, only a few of the fierce Hun Jianglong's men managed to break through to the stronghold wall, but it was only a short-lived effort, and they were slaughtered by the Sea Wolf tribe guarding the stronghold, and their heads were chopped off and hung on the stronghold wall.

It became a trophy for the sea wolf to show off.

The Sea Wolf tribe that guarded the stronghold became more and more courageous as they fought. Over the past two days, they had developed the courage to be timid and fearful. They were no longer afraid. When they saw that Hun Jianglong's people did not dare to attack, they even lined up in rows.

They climbed up the wall, stood on top of the arrows, untied their belts together, took out their water guns, and peed under the wall. At the same time, they loudly laughed at Hun Jianglong and his men, teasing them to continue coming to die.

After two days, Hun Jianglong and his men became more and more frustrated in the battle. On the third day, Hun Jianglong found that he could no longer organize a new offensive. As soon as he proposed to send people to attack the stronghold again,

Each of his subordinates looked frightened, lowering their heads and shrinking back desperately, fearing that the Hunjiang Dragon would point them on the head and send them to their deaths.

Hun Jianglong also felt that the morale of his side had dropped to the bottom of his pants. At this time, if he continued to send people to attack the stronghold, it would no longer have any effect. He would just let his men die in vain, so he could only lament and order a temporary truce.

, surrounded the village, adopted the method of siege, and forced the Sea Wolf tribe on the island to run out of ammunition and food and collapse on their own.

As pirates, although they are very arrogant at sea, the difference between their professions makes their combat effectiveness on land, especially their ability to attack strongholds, very poor. Under normal circumstances, they will not choose to attack some strong villages because they are afraid of it.

Pay too high a price.

And this time when they came to attack Nangantang, Chen Jiutai underestimated the enemy. He felt that Nangantang Village was not big and he had many men, so taking it would not be a problem, so he led his people to attack the village in a large scale.

.

However, he ignored his own ability to tackle difficult problems. Doing this is a technical job and requires a complete set of effective plans and equipment to help it be carried out effectively. It is precisely this kind of technology that they lack, so they hit their head here and suffered a bloody blow.

So Hun Jianglong had no choice but to give up this method of attacking by force, and instead resorted to besieging this place. Even the colleagues who came to help in the battle saw that Hun Jianglong was only attacking the sea wolf's village this time.

After paying such a heavy price, everyone was frightened.

Pang Sen and others, when they saw that the Sea Wolf tribe, just the people guarding here, had such strong fighting power, they couldn't help but feel a little drumming in their hearts, feeling that what came here this time might not be as simple as they thought.

, they were still watching at the beginning, laughing at the incompetence of Hun Jianglong’s men.

But after several attacks were repulsed, they also realized that if they were to do this, it might not be any better than what Hun Jianglong did, and it might even be worse than what Hun Jianglong did.

, so they all became mute and no longer dared to laugh at Hun Jianglong.

They were also afraid that Hun Jianglong would be cornered and force them to help attack the stronghold. The main purpose of their help was to pick up bargains, not to gnaw on hard bones. This kind of dirty work was left to Hun Jianglong.

It's better for people to do it.

However, their siege method had no effect. Another five days passed, and Hun Jianglong organized several more probing attacks on the stronghold. However, the Sea Wolf tribe members in the stronghold seemed to be fine, and they remained as usual.

With high fighting spirit and fierce firepower, several attacks organized by Hun Jianglong were defeated and ended in failure.

Now Hun Jianglong was really in trouble. He brought a thousand and several hundred men and dozens of boats, and he spent them here every day. The food he ate every day alone cost more than a thousand kilograms.

There was also drinking water, and the amount was huge. After seven or eight days, he could hardly move here. He couldn't afford such consumption.

He brought a lot of food with him on the ship this time, but it could only meet their needs for a few days. By the sixth day, the food they carried on the ship was almost exhausted.

Hun Jianglong really had no choice but to besiege this place and solve the problem of food for his men and colleagues. As a last resort, he had to let some boats use some fishing gear carried on the boats to fish in the nearby sea to supplement them.

Food is becoming increasingly scarce.

At the same time, he had to send some of his men to sail back to Shuangfeng Island to transfer some grain. At the same time, he also sent some of his men to disperse to grab grain from the fishing villages on the shore near the mouth of the Minjiang River to solve their food problem.

But as a result, his strength began to be gradually dispersed. By the eighth day, the number of ships he left in Nangantang was only about thirty, and he only had a thousand men left.

The rest of the men, a third of the ships and men, were sent by him to look for food.

On the contrary, the Sea Wolf tribe members in the village are not having a hard time. They have stored enough food for them in the village for a month in advance. There is also a lot of salted fish and bacon in the food.

There are even some large ice cubes and some fresh and refrigerated fruits and vegetables stored in the small ice cellar dug underground.

Moreover, a well was dug in the village, and a hidden ditch was dug underground. Bamboo pipes were used to connect a hidden spring water source on the mountain behind, and directly introduced into the village for the use of the people in the village, so they stayed in the village.

, not only is it safe, but you can also live a comfortable life without having to worry about the danger of running out of food.

The temperature in summer is very high, and it often rains heavily on the sea. In a few days, there was a typhoon. Hun Jianglong and his men, including those who came to help, were staying outside in such a situation.

Under the weather, in addition to enduring high temperatures and baking, you also have to endure heavy rains. It can be said that life is miserable.

Hun Jianglong felt that the firearms of the Sea Wolf tribe guarding the stronghold were too powerful, so he organized an attack while it was raining heavily. He believed that the reason why he could not attack the stronghold was because of the defender's sharp firearms.

It's raining heavily now, so their firearms shouldn't be able to be used anymore.

So he supervised the formation again and sent more than 200 people to attack the stronghold in the rain. However, what they didn't expect was another round of beatings waiting for them. Even though it was raining heavily, the Sea Wolf tribe who were guarding the stronghold were still beaten.

, but it seems not to be affected at all, and the firearm can still be fired.

As a result, Hun Jianglong and his men, who had excitedly thought that they would not be hit by fire again, were beaten all over the face, and they rolled around like mud monkeys, cried for father and mother, and fled back.

There were more than a dozen corpses left in the rain outside the village, and there was no way to get them cheaply.

What Chen Jiu thought of has actually been thought of by the Sea Wolves a long time ago. When expanding the wall, he had already built roofs for some gun emplacements that could protect them from wind and rain. The guns could be placed in such gun chambers.

It can be loaded and launched easily without being affected by the rain at all.

Moreover, after Chen Jiu arrived, Ma Xiao asked people to set up small tents at regular intervals behind the arrow stacks, just enough to accommodate a musketeer standing underneath, so that he could continue to load and launch in the rain calmly.

Chen Jiu's little calculation was completely within Hailang's expectation, so his attempt to take advantage of the heavy rain to capture the village naturally ended in failure.

Chen Jiu's heart sank more and more. This time he headed south brazenly, trying to have another decisive battle with Sea Wolf, but it got off to a bad start. In the eight days since he arrived here, Sea Wolf's fleet didn't even take a chance.

Not even a boat came to Nangantang to inquire about the news, but even so, this small Nangantang Village has become a lingering nightmare for him, making him trapped here in the city of sorrow.

(Today my baby girl is finally 100 days old. Yesterday, I didn’t have a low-grade fever all day. Unfortunately, the baby is not feeling well!

Your continued support! Once my baby and I recover, we will resume updating as soon as possible! I’m so sorry!)
