Daming pirates

At this time, the defeated troops of the army had spread out several miles apart, gathering together and fleeing towards the mountain pass, completely losing their command.

Suddenly the mountain pass was blocked by sea wolves again, which made the officers and soldiers panic even more. Some officers and soldiers who were running in front were so frightened that they lost their companions and turned around when they saw their companions knocked to the ground by sea wolves' volleys of guns.

He ran into the valley and bumped into the fleeing soldiers.

Under the protection of his own soldiers, Liu Wutang managed to reach the mountain pass. He saw the defeated soldiers running in front turn around and rush back, and heard the sound of volleys of gunfire coming from the mountain pass.

"What happened up front!" Liu Wutang was so panicked that he hurriedly shouted to the defeated soldiers who ran back.

"There are rebels at the mountain pass! They sealed the mountain pass! Those who ran past were beaten to death! We can't get out!..." A man who looked like a junior officer stood still and pointed in a panic.

Looking at the mountain pass behind him, he shouted to Liu Wutang.

When Liu Wutang heard this, he cried out in his heart and thought to himself that my life is at stake! Now there is a blockade in front, a pursuer behind, and there are mountains on both sides.

At this time, more and more officers and soldiers gathered here. Some generals who were separated from their subordinates saw Liu Wutang, so they came over fearfully to ask for instructions on what to do.

At this time, Liu Wutang could only grit his teeth and persevere. He turned around and looked at the pursuers who were getting closer and closer behind him, and shouted cruelly: "What else can we do now? Follow me and fight out.

, we have a way to survive, otherwise we will all be doomed here! Come together, you can rush with me. If anyone turns around and escapes back, don’t blame me for not recognizing anyone with my sword!"

After being yelled at by Liu Wutang, the defeated soldiers somewhat gained some backbone, so they all agreed in a noisy manner and began to rush towards the mountain pass under Liu Wutang's supervision.

Now they are fighting a trapped beast. If they can't break out, then they will all be doomed. Therefore, even if they are defeated at this time, they are somewhat aroused. They gritted their teeth and clenched the weapons in their hands.

Weapons, some people lost all their weapons in panic when they were fleeing for their lives. Now they could only run forward with bare hands. Some people lowered their heads and picked up a stone, holding it in their hands to encourage themselves.

More than a thousand officers and soldiers, led by Liu Wutang, rushed towards the mountain pass with a roar.

Blocking the mountain pass at this time were two infantry companies of the Seawolf Marines. However, these two companies were elites among the Seawolf infantry. One of the companies was still the Wolf Fang Rifle Company of the 1st Battalion, and the other was also the earliest one formed.

The company is mostly composed of veterans.

These two companies were under the command of the deputy battalion commander of the second battalion. In fact, they had secretly moved to the mountain pass area last night and found a place to hide. When the officers and soldiers entered the mountain, they did not proceed quietly.

Regardless of any obstruction, we just watched the officers and soldiers enter the mountains from a distance.

It wasn't until the scouts sent back the news in the afternoon that the officers and soldiers had suffered a defeat in front and retreated in rout, then the deputy battalion commander led two companies and fought out from both sides of the mountain pass, blocking the way for the officers and soldiers to retreat.

Five hundred versus two thousand, the official army still had the advantage in terms of numbers, and the official army was a broken army that was desperate to jump over the wall to escape. Although their morale was not high, they were already desperate at this time.

Therefore, the deputy battalion commander did not dare to be too careless. If they were not careful and were dispersed by the officers and soldiers, they would be completely embarrassed.

So he immediately ordered the Wolf Fang rifle company that had followed him to line up in the middle, forming three rows and standing in the middle of the mountain pass. The other company lined up on both sides of the company, and the long gunners were ready to step forward at any time.

preparation.

When he saw one or two thousand officers and soldiers rushing out of the valley howling, the deputy battalion commander gave an order, and the Wolf Fang Rifle Company arranged in the center began to fire volleys.

This time they did not dare to put the officers and soldiers too close before opening fire. Seeing that the officers and soldiers were still nearly 300 steps away from them, they began to fire volleys.

At this distance, even if a sniper is used to aim and shoot, the hit rate may not be very high, but for volley fire, this is not a problem.

At a distance of 300 meters, the Mini bullets fired by the Wolf Fang rifle are still quite lethal. At least there is no problem in killing unarmored personnel.

Volley fire does not pursue precise shooting, but relies on dense barrages to block the enemy, so a distance of 300 meters is enough.

The officers and soldiers didn't know what was going on. When they saw that they were still nearly 300 steps away from the rebel army blocking the mountain pass, the rebel soldiers began to fire volleys of guns.

The officers and soldiers who rushed in front did not feel nervous. They still shouted wildly and rushed towards the mountain pass with their swords and guns raised.

But after a moment passed, some of the people running in front of them suddenly fell to the ground, screaming, and blood arrows spurted out from some people. Only then did the defeated soldiers realize that the sea was

The wolf's musket can actually shoot so far and knock people over.

This time the officers and soldiers were frightened half to death again. What is the concept of three hundred steps? Even if they were to pull Dafa to fight, they might not be able to hit three hundred steps away. Their tiger crouching cannon was at best

That is to say, they can only hit them at a distance of thirty to fifty steps, but the pirates' muskets can kill them at a distance of three hundred steps.

You must know that for this distance of three hundred steps, even if they are asked to rush forward at full speed, they will still have to run for a while. Seawolf's muskets can fire many volleys. Some officers and soldiers have already realized this, because just now

They had already tasted the pain of the sea wolf's musket volleys.

Sea Wolf's musket volley, the highest record for a single person in one minute is three shots. Ordinary musketeers can generally fire two shots. When using three-stage attack, three rows of musketeers fire alternately, and can fire six times, three hundred times.

Even if the fastest infantry charges, it will take five to six minutes. Within this time, the Sea Wolf can fire nearly thirty rows of volleys.

Each volley of Sea Wolf's musketeers can fire about seventy projectiles, so when the officers and soldiers rush in front of them, one company of Sea Wolf can fire more than two thousand musket balls.

This does not include the nearly 150 musketeers in another company holding smooth-bore flintlock muskets. When the official army approaches these musketeers at a distance of about 80 steps, these musketeers can also join in the volley.

Among them, there is not much possibility for the officers and soldiers to rush in front of the Sea Wolf formation.

Of course, no one would take this into account at this time. After receiving a volley of fire, the officers and soldiers did not stop advancing. Under the supervision of Liu Wutang, a large number of broken troops continued to rush forward in order to escape for their lives.

The Sea Wolf infantrymen blocking the mountain pass did not dare to relax. After the first shot was fired, they began to fire three-stage volleys. Three rows of musketeers stepped forward alternately and kept aiming at the officers rushing towards the valley.

The army was routed and launched a volley of fire.

The entire mountain pass became lively at this time, with volleys of gunfire firing one after another. The officers and soldiers were knocked to the ground by muskets one after another, and they were still rolling forward.

The people in front were knocked to the ground, and the officers and soldiers behind had no choice but to move forward, stepping on the fallen corpses and wounded on the ground, and continued to move forward, because they had no way out at this time and could only grit their teeth and face forward.

Front top.

Of course, some officers and soldiers were not willing to be beaten to death like this. After rushing for a while, they saw more and more comrades in front of them being knocked to the ground, so they stopped. Some people turned around and started to run away, but there was Liu behind.

Wu Tang led his own soldiers to supervise the battle, and chopped up some of the defeated soldiers who turned around and fled back.

These defeated soldiers were in bad luck at the moment. There was a dense barrage in front of them, blocking their progress. If they walked forward, they would be killed, but if they turned around and ran, they would be chopped up by their commander's soldiers.

.

This time, the defeated soldiers were even more confused. Some smarter officers and soldiers saw whether they would die if they ran forward or they would die if they ran backward, so they simply didn't move forward or backward, and just climbed up the mountains on both sides.

go.

After suffering huge losses, the officers and soldiers were still unable to rush to the mountain pass. More and more officers and soldiers began to abandon their weapons and climb up the mountains on both sides. More and more officers and soldiers were killed in the mountain pass, so the officers and soldiers

The courage they finally summoned was completely exhausted at this time. The remaining more than a thousand officers and soldiers finally could no longer bear to be slaughtered like this and fled collectively towards the valley again.

Liu Wutang was so depressed among the troops! In the blink of an eye, he was trapped in the middle by the defeated troops again, and he began to run for his life with a roar. At this time, Liu Wutang finally understood that their Ming army and these seamen

Compared to the wolf's men, they are really useless!

What kind of pirates are these? These people are simply ferocious! Being transferred to deal with them this time is a bad luck for eight lifetimes. Now he has long forgotten about making a comeback. The only thing he has to consider next is how to save his life!

As for how to hold people accountable afterwards, that is a matter for the future. In short, if you die here, everything will be over!

Liu Wutang had completely lost his fighting spirit at this time, and was so confused that he was wrapped up in the chaos and fled back to the valley.

When it got dark, groups of officers and soldiers put down their weapons and took off their armor in the valley. The Sea Wolf infantry found ropes, tied their wrists in groups of ten, and began to escort them back to Luotian Village.

in the camp.

Liu Wutang himself, in desperation, finally chose to surrender. He was taken out by Meng Fei alone and placed in another place for custody.

Just when Meng Fei led the Second Battalion to fight a great victory in Luotian Village, at the same time in Tong'an County, gunfire and artillery fire also rang out.

Several twelve-pound guns were unloaded from the large ship onto the small boat by the Sea Wolf tribe, and then transported to Dongxi on the east side of Tong'an County, and were unloaded on the shore outside the city.

Li Dazui led the First Battalion of the Army to build an artillery position outside the city, and built an artillery fortress using local materials.

Six 12-pound long cannons were lined up in a row, with their muzzles raised and aimed at Tong'an County. While the battle in Luotian Village began, Li Dazui also led his troops to start the battle in Tong'an County.

Six 12-pounder cannons were mounted in a fort 400 steps north of the city. Starting at 4 o'clock in the morning, they launched a bombardment on Tong'an County.

The six cannons, after firing several volleys at first, began to fire alternately. The shells roared and fell on the city head, hitting bricks and stones on the city wall flying everywhere.
