The pirates quickly knelt down after hearing the order. The guards nodded behind them, and a group of sailors armed with swords and axes quickly ran over, began to search everyone and then tied them up. Finally, they were escorted to the front of the team.

Liu Pei sent several more guards to inquire about the news. After a while, one of the guards came back excitedly and said: "Commander, these people are indeed here to surrender! They feel that they are not Zheng Yiguan's people and should have a way to survive.

Only then did he run out! The remaining people in the stronghold were all Zheng Yiguan's people, and there were about sixty people who refused to surrender. In addition, there were more than 20 blunderbuss and six sets of bows and arrows in the stronghold. There were four arrows on the wall of the stronghold.

A small cannon, all fired with grapeshot."

After hearing this, Liu Pei said with a ferocious smile: "I originally wanted to save their lives, but since they don't want it, then don't live anymore! Push these people aside and prepare to attack the city!"

The excited guards immediately passed on the order. The pirates who were kneeling there were kicked and beaten down. The other teams began to prepare for war.

After a short period of adjustment, the gunners took the lead in launching the attack. They were followed by the gunners carrying the artillery, and behind them were the sailors carrying the ladder.

The musketeers have to make certain sacrifices this time in order to attract the opponent's artillery to show up. They are also responsible for suppressing the opponent's musketry and bows. Therefore, the musketeers arranged a relatively sparse formation.

As soon as the gunmen stepped onto the edge of the flat land in front of the village, the opponent launched four small cannons and pointed them at them. The location of the city wall was very suitable for defense, because the open space in front of the wall was within the shooting range of artillery and gunfire.

.The rest of the area is filled with undulating mountains, which are not suitable for the attackers to deploy their troops. That mountain road is not only narrow but also rugged!

Liu Pei saw four small cannons coming out of the wall from a distance, and his heart sank, and then he felt happy again! His heart sank because under the bombardment of the artillery, many gunmen would probably fall into a pool of blood.

.And happily, the people defending on the wall obviously issued the wrong order!

When fighting a defensive battle, the continuity of firepower is more important than the density of firepower! If the enemy takes turns to fire the artillery one by one, they will not only have enough time to move the gun position, but also cause greater psychological pressure on the attacker.

And the damage was done. However, the opponent pushed out four artillery pieces at once, which showed that the commander was completely confused.

The running gunners also discovered four artillery pieces pointing at them. However, they did not panic, but quickly fell to the ground, trying to avoid the artillery fire. People in other directions stopped shooting in place, trying to block the fire.

The shooting of artillery. But the advantage is that the shooting is too scattered and has no effect!

With "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

!" Four consecutive cannon shots rang out, and dense lead bullets were fired into the team, knocking down more than a dozen people immediately. However, Liu Pei also breathed a sigh of relief, because the gunmen responded in time, and the casualties were reduced to a minimum.

After the artillery fire on the wall was completed, a group of people stood up and prepared to shoot below. However, below was not the panicked team they imagined, but a team holding high firecrackers and preparing for revenge. So those people holding firecrackers and bows and arrows

As soon as he showed up, he was violently shot by gunmen.

The few people who reacted quickly retreated before they had time to shoot. The ones who reacted slowly were beaten into pieces by firecrackers! Even if some of them fired firecrackers or shot bows and arrows, they did not cause any damage to the people below. Instead, they were all shot.

Zi lost more than a dozen people. Now the losses on both sides were equal.

At this time, the gunners who followed were building gun emplacements as quickly as possible on the edge of the flat ground. They knew that they could build the artillery emplacements calmly and safely because the gunners took the blow for them. Fortunately, the Tiger Cannon

With its own steel claws, the gun emplacement was relatively easy to build. So they were ready to fire in just a few dozen seconds. At the same time, they also cut the fuze to the shortest length in an effort to fire it quickly.

Before they had time to take a breath after getting ready, the four artillery pieces on the wall were pushed out again! The reaction of the artillerymen below was much faster than that of the people on the wall. And they had just remembered the position where the artillery was pushed out.

So the muzzle of the gun has been pointing at the crenel just now.

Moreover, the artillery crews had a tacit understanding that they did not fire a salvo, but fired in groups of two. When they saw the muzzle appear, the gunner who fired first had already pressed the torch on the fuse.

After a short period of burning, the artillery of revenge will be fired first!

The lead bullets quickly crossed the open space and pounced on the enemy on the wall! The lead bullets hit the artillery and made a "dinging, clanking" sound, together with the "pop" sound of the lead bullets hitting the human body and a

Screams and cries of terror!

The four cannons on the wall were instantly silenced, leaving only screams. Taking this opportunity, the sailors who struggled to climb over the cannons and quickly approached the wall under the cover of the gunners. They set up a long ladder on the wall.

On the wall, shouting and climbing up the wall.

The people on the city wall were not to be outdone, and took the risk to throw stones below. They also tried to push away the long-term. But they were not lucky. Although the artillery stopped shooting, the gunmen were still staring at the city wall! Once someone

If you expose your body, you will be shot in turn!

Therefore, the people who went up before gave up their plan to push up the long ladder after losing a few people. They were suppressed and breathless for a while. They were unable to straighten up to stop the sailors from climbing. However, they did not give up their defense.

they only

He was preparing to hide behind the crenellations to defend himself against climbing the city.

The wall was not very high, and the sailors quickly climbed up along more than a dozen long ladders! However, the first batch of sailors who climbed up the crenel were not very lucky, and they were all hacked down! Some of these sailors fell down

They were motionless on the ground, obviously dead! Some people still had the strength to cry out. But their opponents also paid a high price. Half of the people responsible for defending the crenel were shot down by fire cannons.

Then the people who climbed up took advantage of the enemy's fall and rushed to the crenel, and started fighting hand to hand! In terms of fighting hand to hand, the sailors were obviously not as sophisticated as these pirates! But the difference was not much. Overall, the losses were slightly

A little bigger. But the pirates did not have a steady stream of replenishment. Moreover, many gunmen with bayonets also participated in the attack. More and more people rushed to the wall, crowding out the defenders.

They retreated step by step. It was the fire gunmen who caused the greatest damage to them.

After these firecrackers boarded the crenel, the first thing they did was to stand on the crenel and use their height advantage to shoot firecrackers into the crowd of opponents. Then they carried the empty firecrackers and joined the melee fight. And at close range

, the shooting of the fire gun was almost invincible! So the offensive and defensive battle on the wall was over in less than a quarter of an hour! Liu Pei achieved a comprehensive victory!

The gate of the stronghold wall was opened, and Liu Pei and his men strode in. Just as the guards who were following the attack were about to come over to report the situation, Liu Pei loudly said: "Don't live alive! All the people caught will be chopped off! In addition, quickly let the military doctors accompanying the team rescue people."

!”

The guard immediately passed on the order. With more than a dozen screams and curses, all the captured pirates were killed. Seeing their blood flowing out, Liu Pei let out a breath of evil in his heart! He went on to say: "Everyone

Search the entire island and remove all useful things! Also bring over those who surrendered."

The pirates were pressed over. When they saw the corpses on the ground, they all turned pale with fear, thinking that Liu Pei was going to execute them! So they all looked at Liu Pei with fearful eyes, waiting for the final verdict.

Liu Pei stared at them and said, "You don't have to be afraid. I keep my word and I won't kill you."

After hearing this, the pirates breathed a sigh of relief. Some of them even collapsed on the ground. Liu Pei then said: "I will leave you enough food to survive. But you have to pass the message for me.

To Zheng Yiguan, the blood debt of so many of my dead brothers will be counted on his head! I will settle this debt with him sooner or later! This battle will never stop until there is a winner!"
Chapter completed!
