Daming pirates

Large pots were set up under the wall, and the firewood below was lit. Waste oil scraped from the slipway of the slipway was thrown into some of the cauldrons. The shipyard has now built several slides on the slipway for ships.

For the purpose of getting on and off the slipway, in order to reduce the friction between the slide and the hull, a lot of whale blubber is smeared on the slide every time. After using it, the people in the boathouse are reluctant to waste the waste oil, so they scrape it up and put it in a bucket for further use next time.

.

Now all the waste oil has been transported here, and some whale oil was also taken from the warehouse and added to a large pot, heated by fire, and when needed, it was carried up to the wall of the village in a large bucket, and poured down on the head and face, burning those who were attacked.

For enemies under the wall, if necessary, you can also light fires to create fire barriers to prevent enemies from getting close to the wall.

But after all, the value of oil is too high. No matter how rich the sea wolf is, it can't afford such a torment, so more large pots are filled with sea water. After boiling, it can also be poured into it to scald people.

It's just that you can't light the fire anymore to fuel the fire.

In short, in order to ensure the safety of Dazhai this time, Yu Xiaotian brainstormed and made quite full preparations in Dazhai in advance. Basically, he used everything he could think of and had the conditions to produce. In some places, he even spared no effort to build it.

He set up a wooden frame and hung up some crudely made but practical wolf fangs and yaksha beaters, and stood ready, waiting for the veteran Chu Cai to come down and die.

It can be said that Mr. Chu Cai basically knows nothing about the preparations of Sea Wolf and continues to use his old experience to do things. When he led his men to attack cities and plunder villages, he always took them by surprise and rarely attacked them.

Their arrival is predicted in advance, so under normal circumstances, the forts they attack are not fully prepared, and they can often break through them easily.

But today they met an opponent they had never encountered before. Sea Wolf had been sharpening his sword for a long time and was waiting for them to come over. He had made all the preparations he could in advance. What did they want to experience this time?

It's called a tough nut to crack.

Chu Cai Lao observed the two stockades of Hailang. Relatively speaking, the area of ​​the stockade in the commercial warehouse area was much smaller than that of Dazhai, and the walls of the stockade were not as strong as Dazhai. However, Chu CaiLao did not take a fancy to this commercial warehouse area.

The village, because according to his understanding, although there are many businesses in the shopping mall area, but from the information he got at this time, the merchants in the shopping mall area have already left, leaving valuables.

All the goods have been moved in advance, so although it cannot be said that there is no oil and water fishing in the shopping mall area, it is definitely not big enough.

What he is most concerned about now is Hailang's self-casting cannon. According to his understanding, Hailang's cannon production should be in the north of Dazhai, which is integrated with Hailang Dazhai. In addition, there must be other oil and gas in Hailang Dazhai.

It is very big. As long as the Sea Wolf's stronghold is captured, the so-called merchant area will actually lose its support. Even if no one is sent to attack, the Sea Wolf tribe guarding it will collapse immediately.

Therefore, after much consideration, he decided to give up attacking the merchant area and go all out to capture Sea Wolf's stronghold first. So he left a small number of men to keep an eye on the merchant area, and all the rest of his troops were invested in Sea Wolf.

direction of Dazhai.

Under the command of Chu Cailao, large groups of tribesmen began to carry their various weapons and siege equipment, moving southward, bypassing the merchant area, and regrouped in the southeast of Langxue Dazhai.

Following Chu Cai Lao's order, nearly two thousand Chu Cai Lao's men suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar. More than a dozen groups of people immediately howled loudly, cheering for themselves and lifting up.

The large shields and long ladders that were improvised together rushed towards the sea wolf village like a tide.

A group of minions lifted up the large shields made of thick-armed logs, lowered their bodies, and moved forward vigorously. More Chu Cai's old men were howling and holding them in their hands.

Weapons or carrying long and clumsy ladders, hiding behind these large shields, they squirmed outside the stronghold like a group of snails, slowly advancing towards the Sea Wolf stronghold.

Behind the big shield were the fire gunners and crossbowmen they had gathered. These people were ordered to rely on the big shields in front of them to reach the outside of the Sea Wolf stronghold, and use the crude weapons in their hands to suppress the sea wolf on the wall.

Members of the Wolf tribe, support other minions to attack the stronghold wall and seize the stronghold.

Meng Fei got up early in the morning and was gearing up with his men to have a fight with Mr. Chu Cai. He thought that Mr. Chu Cai had been tortured by him all night last night and must have been so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry early in the morning.

Someone must be sent to retaliate against him, so when he got up early in the morning, he called his subordinates in the shopping mall area to prepare for various challenges.

But when he saw Mr. Chu Cai leading his people around the commercial area and focusing all their targets on Dazhai, Meng Fei's nose was twisted because of Mr. Chu Cai's anger this time. He stood on the wall of the village and jumped on his feet looking into the distance.

Chu Chu Cai Lao's men yelled and cursed almost all the vicious words they could think of, but they couldn't recruit Chu Chu Cai Lao's men.

When he saw Chu Cailao's men starting to circle around the commercial warehouse area in groups and push towards Dazhai, they ignored them in the commercial warehouse area, leaving only a small number of minions far away.

They dispersed to monitor the shopping mall area, and Meng Fei had no choice.

So he called his men over, observed the distance of Chu Cai Lao's men who were closest to them, and judged that those guys were just at the edge of the effective range of their two six-pound cannons, but they were still at the extreme range of their six-pound cannons.

Within a long range, the guy stopped jumping around and yelling, and immediately ordered the gunners of the two six-pound cannons to start loading and aiming, and fired at those Chu Cai Lao's men who were trying to pass by them.

As this was not enough, Meng Fei ordered two six-pound cannons from other places to be brought over, mounted on the wall of the village, and fired together, hoping to provoke Mr. Chu Cai, so that Mr. Chu Cai would divide his troops to deal with their business area and reduce the damage.

The pressure from the village.

At this point, Meng Fei can indeed be regarded as a conscientious person. He is not afraid of fighting and is always actively looking for ways to fight. Yu Xiaotian has ordered him not to lead his troops to attack without authorization, so he uses this method.

A way to proactively seek a fight.

Before Chu Cai Lao's men could approach Dazhai, the fort in the shopping mall area began to fire first. Two six-pound cannons fired alternately, shining solid bullets at the crowd of Chu Cai Lao's men before hitting them.

The effective range of the six-pound gun is roughly about 400 meters. The accuracy can basically be guaranteed within 400 meters, and it will not be too far off. However, after more than 400 meters, the accuracy becomes more of a problem. Mr. Chu Cai

His men were just 400 meters away, so after the cannonballs flew past, they were often fired low or high, deviating from the target a lot, and posing no great threat to Chu Cailao's men.

But after a few shots, the gunner still found some sense, and a shell landed unexpectedly accurately among a group of old Chu Cai's men.

Solid shells are no better than explosive grenades of later generations. Grenades rely on shrapnel and shock waves to kill the enemy, but solid artillery shells can only rely on the kinetic energy of the shell to kill the enemy. Only when they directly collide with the enemy can they cause effective damage. However, the artillery shells of this era are smoothbore cannons.

, are all round shapes

, after the cannonball hits the ground, it will often bounce up from the ground and continue to fly forward. This is the so-called ricochet effect. Before the cannonball runs out of kinetic energy, everything in front of the cannonball will be destroyed, unless it is

A strong enough obstacle can block it.

However, the human body is too fragile for a cannonball weighing nearly five kilograms. After the cannonball landed among the crowd of old people in Chu Cai, it immediately bounced up and continued to fly forward, only to be smashed.

There was a stone on the ground, and two old Chu Cai's men blocked the advance of the cannonball. One of them had a thigh cut off on the spot, and the other was torn into two pieces at the waist.

After the guy whose thigh was broken fell to the ground, he realized that he was missing a leg. A large amount of blood was spurting out from the broken leg. Then he hugged the broken leg and rolled on the ground, howling and yelling:

"Help! Help me! Help..."

However, his screams did not attract more people's attention. Those accomplices were all very nervous at this moment, and no one lowered their heads to look at him. They stepped past his body and continued walking towards Dazhai.

As for the guy who was cut off at the waist by the cannonball, his life was better. Although his death was miserable, with his intestines and stomach and internal organs flying everywhere, after his upper body fell to the ground, he only twitched a few times and burped on the spot.

But what is surprising is that the killing effect of this shell is not just that. Chu Cai Lao asked his men to go around from the south of the shopping mall area, but the ground in this area is mostly made of rocks. There is no sand on the ground and it is very hard. The shell fell on

After this stone board, the ricochet effect is very good. It can bounce many times continuously and fly very far. Not only that, after the cannonball hits the ground, it stirs up a lot of gravel on the ground. These gravels fly out in all directions, and actually produce a

Shotgun effect.

Under the rubble flying everywhere, a few unlucky minions were hit on the spot. Either a piece of flesh was cut off, or the rubble was embedded into their bodies. Although it could not kill them on the spot, it still hurt.

They immediately fell and screamed like ghosts and wolves.

Seeing that several of the unlucky accomplices were knocked down, the rest of the gangsters were immediately frightened and started to get into chaos. They scattered and ran away, for fear that if another shell was fired, it would be their turn to be unlucky next.

.

"Okay! Haha! Just beat me like this! Kill me more! *** This Chu guy turned a blind eye to us. He doesn't take us seriously. Give me a good beating. Beat me."

You can't even recognize them!" Meng Fei used a telescope to observe the effects of the bombardment. When he saw that the bombardment was effective, he grinned behind his ears and started shouting loudly.
