Chapter 547 The Battle of Dongsha Island (2)
As the saying goes, one inch long and one inch long and one inch short and one inch dangerous. The flintlock rifle designed by Xu Jin imitates the eighty-one horse rifle of later generations. The length of the gun is about one meter. In order to increase the range, He Bantou and Li Bantou of the military battle made a slight change during the manufacturing process, increasing the length of the barrel by ten centimeters. If a bayonet is installed, the length of the entire gun will reach one meter and two meters, which is twenty centimeters longer than an ordinary sword.
The weapons used by pirates are mixed, most of which are ordinary swords. Compared with the flintlock rifle, they are at a disadvantage in length. In addition, the quality is uneven, so it is difficult to cut off the fine iron barrel of the flintlock rifle.
After Xu Jin established the 500th battalion, he completely copied the way of training the army in later generations. This was inevitable for bayonets to fight. Therefore, the pirates and the savages of the 500th battalion were immediately frustrated by the strange fighting style, and if they were not careful, a blood hole would be poked out.
Speaking of the Sanling Army Badge, it is known as the king of bloodletting. The wounds pierced by this thing are square, and even using sutures, it is difficult to stop the wound from bleeding. Therefore, once it is stabbed, regardless of whether it is a vital part or not, the injured will most likely lose his life. This small wound can make the injured person shine all his blood in a short period of time, which is quite abnormal.
Faced with a group of evil pirates, there is naturally no need to pity, not to mention that in a life-and-death struggle, pity for the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Therefore, the soldiers of the Five Hundred Battalions are very fierce, and the bayonets are all the key points of the thieves. Anyway, being stabbed by the Sanling Army is a dead end. Instead of slowly bleeding and dying, it is better to give the other party a pleasure.
The fierce battle continued, and pirates rushed from all directions. The pirates who had previously cruised on the sea also went ashore to join the battle group. Fortunately, the Five Hundred Battalion has now occupied the first fortification, so there is no need to worry about being attacked from both sides. In addition, the two sides are fighting together, so the pirate's crossbow naturally loses its effect.
The shouts of killing and screams came one after another, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood. Someone kept falling down, and blood oozed out from the gap between the sandbags, dyeing the sea water near the dock red.
The soldiers of the 500th battalion were all elites selected by the various guards. In addition, their daily practice was unstoppable, so their combat effectiveness was naturally not comparable to a group of pirates. The casualties ratio between the two sides was almost 10 to 1. For each brother of the 500th battalion, ten pirates fell down at the same time. Moreover, if the brothers of the 500th battalion fell down, they might stand up to fight again. Most of the fallen pirates could only cover their bloody wounds and wait for death.
However, pirates also have an advantage, that is, the number of people is large. Zhu Wan said before that there were about 300 people on the island, but the actual number was actually nearly double. Chen Sipan's men could fight with more than 500 pirates. Although nearly 100 people were sneak attacked by the 500 battalion at the beginning, the number of pirates remaining was twice that of the 500 battalion. Moreover, these pirates were fierce people who licked blood from the knife, and they were not lacking in courage and ruthlessness.
So, the troops on both sides fought evenly for a moment. Of course, the winning Libra was still slowly conquering the five hundred battalions. After all, the Sanling Army's spear was too cruel, and the pirates stabbed were basically destroyed.
The pirate leader Chen Sipan had simply bandaged the wound on his leg. At this time, more than a dozen trusted guards were standing on a high place to watch the battle. His face was gloomy and his eyes were red, like a wounded beast. He gritted his teeth and spit out two words: "Official army!"
This is not the first time Chen Sipan has fought with the official army. He has never suffered such a great loss. He really can't figure out where this official army with such a perverted combat power has emerged. What is certain is that this group of official army is definitely not the garbage soldiers of the coastal garrison. Moreover, as long as the officers and soldiers of the coastal garrison move, he will be able to get the news as soon as possible.
Chen Sipan was thinking about the origin of this official army. Shen Laoqi, who was covered in blood, ran up and shouted: "Boss, brothers can't stand it anymore, so let's talk to each other quickly, so I'll leave the green mountains, even if there is no firewood."
Chen Sipan's eyes suddenly became sharp. He had been operating this Dongsha Island for nearly ten years and finally reached its current scale. How could he be willing to give up? He suddenly drew out his sword and wanted to cut off Shen Laoqi, who disrupted the morale of the army.
Shen Laoqi was a thief. When he saw Chen Sipan reaching out to draw his sword, he immediately turned around and ran away. He defected to Chen Sipan just to temporarily settle the life. It was impossible to make him loyal to Chen Sipan, and it was even more impossible to stand and let him chop it.
Chen Sipan saw that Shen Laoqi, who was usually obedient like a pug, dared to run away. He couldn't help but be furious. He raised his legs and wanted to chase after him to kill the ungrateful dog thief. Unexpectedly, he forgot that there was a wound on his leg. He just took a step and staggered and fell down. The wound also cracked and blood oozed out.
Chen Sipan simply included the wound. The lead bullet inside had not been dug out yet. This thing is poisonous. If it is not dug out, the wound will be difficult to heal.
"Big boss!" The confidant beside him stepped forward and helped Chen Sipan up, who shouted sternly: "Don't worry about me, kill Shen Laoqi, the dog that escaped in the battle for me."
Two confidants immediately wanted to chase Shen Laoqi with their swords, but suddenly heard a bang of gunshot. One of the confidants fell to the ground with blood on the spot, kicked their legs and stopped moving. The shot was in the center of the body and killed him.
Chen Sipan's eyelids twitched quickly and looked down at the battlefield. He saw that the guy who had shot himself on the boat had been hiding behind several companions, shaking his head regretfully while reloading ammunition.
It turned out that the shot just now was driven by Guo Jindiao. He originally wanted to kill Chen Sipan, but the confidant rushed out to block the gun.
Chen Sipan was scared and sweated coldly at this time, hurriedly hid behind several confidants and retreated to the distance.
"Chen Sipan is running away!"
"Catch the thief leader Chen Sipan alive, don't let him run away!"
"Capture Chen Sipan alive!"
As Guo Jindiao shouted, the other brothers from the Five Hundred Battalions also shouted. Although the pirates were fierce, they were also a little scared by the Five Hundred Battalions. When they heard the officers and soldiers shouted that the boss had run away, they all looked back subconsciously. Sure enough, they saw the boss retreating under the escort of the trustees, and the guy Shen Laoqi had already run to the north.
In an instant, the thieves were in chaos and scattered with a coaxing sound. The second in command, Chen Dong, couldn't help but curse, and rushed to the water camp with more than a dozen confidants, preparing to seize the ship and escape.
