Daming pirates

When the rebels retreated, Wu Shengtian immediately sent out rural soldiers to slide down the wall with ropes, collect the corpses of the rebels, use big axes to chop off the heads from the frozen corpses, and use big baskets to pull them up the wall.

A total of two to three hundred human heads were hung on the wall of the village. Looking from a distance, it gave people a chilling feeling.

At the end of the day, the newly recruited soldiers in Xishan Village also contributed a lot. They also knew what fate they would face once the rebels invaded the village, so under the encouragement of the officers, they all

He was fierce and fought to the death with the rebels. Seeing the rebels withdrawing their troops, cheers rang out in Xishan Village.

Wu Shengtian immediately began to check today's losses. After this day's fierce fighting, Xishan Village also paid a price. There were more than 30 casualties in total, but there were not many people dead, only a dozen, most of whom were used by the rebels.

Fire blunderbuss and bows and arrows killed and injured some, but two rural soldiers slipped and fell off the wall of the village and were killed by the rebels because they were pouring boiling water and throwing stones.

However, the situation of the injured is not optimistic, because most of them are injured in the upper body, mainly in the chest and face. Once injured, they are usually seriously injured. On this cold day, although there is a medical officer and three ambulance soldiers here

, but it may not be possible to save them.

In order to mobilize morale, Wu Shengtian ordered the medical officers and ambulance soldiers to do their best to rescue the wounded. He also ordered people to prepare some coffins in the village, bury the bodies of the rural soldiers or soldiers who died in the battle, and set up a mourning hall specifically to accompany Liu BuTong.

Go to worship, and let soldiers, country soldiers, and even villagers go to worship.

Seeing that the fallen were treated with such courtesy and the injured were treated with such kindness, the soldiers and village soldiers in the village, and even the villagers, old and weak women and children were very moved, and each one of them was determined to fight to the end.

determination.

And they also saw that the servants brought by Liu Yuanwai and the servants of unknown origin brought by Wu Shengtian were all good men and tough soldiers, capable of fighting and killing, and they also had many good things at hand.

The army launched a desperate attack today, but was defeated

So many people were killed, and even the upper edge of the village wall was not touched. This was simply unbelievable. This also gave the people in the village sufficient confidence that as long as these people were here, then even if they were

No matter how many rebels come, they will not be afraid anymore.

As a result, after a day of fierce fighting in the entire Xishan Village, the morale can be said to have reached its peak.

Wu Shengtian also specially sent people to Tuweizi on Yangma Island to report the victory and reported the battle situation to the personnel stationed there. Liu Butong saw that Wu Shengtian was doing a good job here and did not need his help. Considering that Tuweizi was

We needed someone to take charge of the situation, so after discussing with Wu Shengtian, we rushed to Tuweizi overnight and took charge there.

Zhang Tao was so depressed that he thought about it all night and discussed it with his men. As expected the next day, he gave up the attack on Xishan Village, led his troops around Xishan Village, and began to set foot on the frozen sea to attack Tuweizi.

, planning to capture Tuweizi, there is probably a lot of food and women inside, and there may even be a lot of wealth.

It doesn't matter if you can't capture Xishan Village. As long as you can capture Tuweizi, it can still be considered a success. As long as you get enough food, then things will be easier to handle.

So on the third day, Zhang Tao led the rebels and began to attack Tuweizi.

However, their starting point was unfavorable, because Tuweizi and Xishan Village faced each other across the sea, and the rebels had to step onto the ice behind Xishan Village to launch an attack on Tuweizi.

When Wu Shengtian saw that the rebels were going to walk across the ice to attack the earthen fence of Yangma Island, he ordered Dai Fang to lead his men to move the cannon to the wall behind, and fire at the rebels gathered on the beach from a distance from behind.

Although the distance is a bit far, there are a lot of rebels, and the artillery shells do not pursue high accuracy. As long as they hit the enemy group, they are enough to kill a large number of rebels.

The two cannons fired together, and after a few rounds of shelling, many rebels were killed. Peter Zhang Tao had no choice but to lead his troops and move them farther away until they were out of the range of the cannons, and then sent troops from farther away to step onto the ice.

Face, attack towards Tuweizi.

But is Tuweizi easy to fight? Obviously this is not the case. Although the wall of Tuweizi is not high, the captain of the navy company who has been stationed here these two days has not been idle, including several of Liu Bubu's subordinates.

Here, a large number of refugees are directed, fetching or boiling water, and watering it on the earth fence every day.

This season is the coldest time. Even if you pour boiling water on the ground, it will freeze into ice cubes in a short time. The entire wall of the earth fence is frozen to the point of being bare. It is estimated that even the ants are gone.

I wanted to climb up, and the wall was thickened a lot by ice, making it almost indestructible.

In addition, a large amount of water was poured on the ground outside the fence, and it quickly turned into ice. It was completely slippery. In this case, it was not easy to climb up the earth fence, which was not too high.

A simple thing.

Moreover, two 12-pound cannons are also stationed here in Tuweizi. They are garrisoned by a dissatisfied naval company and more than half of the infantry company. The strength of the troops is no less than that of the defenders in Xishan Village, and there are a large number of refugees available for deployment.

, the newly formed rural soldiers were more numerous, with more than a thousand people, and guarding Tuweizi was not a difficult task for them.

Moreover, Liu Butong enjoys a high reputation in Tuweizi and is very popular among these refugees. After he came to Tuweizi, the morale of the refugees and rural soldiers here was even higher. After hearing about the battle in Xishan Village yesterday, everyone became more confident.

Complete.

Although these rural soldiers could not go out to fight with the rebels in the field, there was still no big problem in defending the stronghold. Moreover, the rural soldiers were issued with more long guns. Even if the iron gun heads were not enough, they also found some hardwood and whittled them.

After sharpening it, bake it on the fire to make it harder. Then dip it in water and freeze it solidly. It is still very sharp and can stab someone to death without any problem.

Seeing the rebels coming to attack, the Seawolf soldiers took the lead and fired with various long and short rifles. The Marine Company's equipment was not as good as that of the Army, and they also used shorter Navy-type rifles, and there were not many rifled guns, mostly smoothbore ones.

It's a gun, but it's still pretty good for fighting rebels on unobstructed ice.

Whenever the rebels entered within a few dozen steps outside the wall, the sailors armed with short-barreled South Japanese rifles would immediately fire a volley of guns at them, knocking them down on the ice.

In order to prevent bullets, the rebels temporarily set up some snow sledges, piled some bundles of firewood, and pushed them towards the earth fence to launch an attack to resist the bullets fired from the earth fence. Although it was somewhat effective, it could not guarantee cover.

All the rebel soldiers and generals were still killed and many were injured.

But the earth fence has its limitations, because the earth fence is relatively low, only one and a half people high. The rebels don't even need ladders. They can climb up the earth fence by stepping on people's shoulders. In addition, there are no deep trenches outside the earth fence.

As a defensive fortification, the rebels succeeded in attacking the bottom of the wall after being fierce.

Once they entered under the earthen fence, the firepower of the Sea Wolf soldiers could be fully utilized. They leaned out and fired downwards. The rebels had nothing to block them except their shields, and many of them were shot to death in an instant.

Seeing a large number of rebels swarming under the earthen fence and starting to build a human wall to climb up the earthen fence, the Seawolf soldiers immediately put on their bayonets collectively. The navy soldiers were at a bit of a disadvantage. Their short-barreled naval rifles, no matter whether they were long or short,

Generally, they were not equipped with bayonets, but they all had single swords or axes. At this time, they also prepared some long guns, so they simply replaced them with long guns.

The earthen fence was very wide. A large number of local soldiers, refugees, and Sea Wolf soldiers were all standing on the earthen fence, each holding a spear in their hands. They did not use the tactics of rolling logs and rocks, and directly went to the spear formation to come.

Resist the rebel attack.

The rebels saw that it was relatively easy to climb up the earth fence. Although it was not slippery enough and often knocked them down, but when they saw that they could climb the earth fence, they still screamed in excitement, "You fight for me to grab it."

With a reward on his head, he tried to climb up the wall and massacre those damn Xishan village soldiers and refugees above, in order to avenge the past two days.

But what these rebels didn't expect was that they finally stepped on the shoulders of their accomplices and climbed to the top of the earth fence. As soon as they exposed their heads, a bright spear tip flashed before their eyes.

At the moment when the rebels emerged, and under the loud shouts and orders of the officers, the village soldiers and refugees thrust out clumps of spears forward with all their might.

The assassination skills of these rural soldiers and refugees may be very poor. Sometimes they want to stab the neck, but they may miss the target, but they cannot handle the large number of people. The dense spears are thrust out together, making the rebels who emerge unstoppable.

After finally climbing up the earthen fence and exposing his upper body, he was hit by several bullets. When he was pierced through his body, he fell down the earthen fence with blood spurting out and howling miserably.

However, the rebels gathered below Tuweizi could not see what was happening above. Except that the rebels watching the battle from a distance could see what was happening on Tuweizi, the rebels who had reached the bottom of Tuweizi could not see anything at all.

Knowing what was going on up there, the man in front of him climbed up and was stabbed to death. However, the rebels behind him continued to step on the man's shoulders and climb up. The edges of the earthen fence were covered with ice, making it even more slippery.

, they could only cling to the edge of the earthen fence and climb up with all their strength.

But when they exerted all their strength and finally exposed their heads, they were stabbed in the face with a spear. Some people were directly pierced through the neck, and some were pierced through the chest. They followed one by one.

The corpse was like a dumpling and fell down the earthen fence.
