Chapter 337: Attacking from the Back and Not Feint (First Update)
On the flagship of the Franc machine, Governor Silva had a happy look on his brow.
According to the sentinels' report, they did find a cave on the Black Rock Cliff, which was large enough to hold hundreds of people. If they send people into the cave in advance, they can deal a fatal blow to the pirates. They never imagined that they would be stabbed in the back.
"Ning County Order, do you see if this plan is feasible?"
Silva's eyes revealed eagerness, and of course he didn't want to hear opposing opinions from Ning Xiu's mouth.
"This plan is feasible, but the official has some suggestions."
Ning Xiu said lightly.
"Lord Ning, please speak."
"We must devote considerable forces to the path leading to the Blackstone Point Fortress, only then can we contain the main force of the pirates."
Silva nodded.
Ning Xiu's analysis is not unreasonable.
These pirates are suspicious by nature and are by no means easy to deceive.
They won't believe it if they don't send enough troops.
The cave can only accommodate about a hundred people, and in the end it can only be used as a suspicious soldier.
Suspicious soldiers can influence the tide of battle, but they cannot be the force that decides the outcome of the battle.
But Silva has his own struggles.
Committing enough troops to contain the main force of the Haikou means that it cannot be just a feint. And the actual attack will inevitably have a loss.
The main force to suppress the bandits here was his mercenaries, and the total number of people brought by Ning Xiu was only a few dozen.
If you really hit the level of the pirate on the trail, the loss will never be small, and Silva is still a little distressed.
After all, although these are mercenaries, they have undergone rounds of rigorous training.
Those who can become soldiers are not to say one in a thousand, one in a hundred, but one in ten miles is always certain.
Silva was a calculator, and he once calculated that it would cost at least thirty taels of silver to train a good soldier.
Although the trench could collect taxes with the help of commerce, it was not a gold or silver mine, and of course he did not want to waste the silver money he spent. So he wanted to use the soldiers as reasonably as possible.
"So, in Lord Ning's opinion, how many troops should be invested in the passage to the Black Stone Corner?"
Ning Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "At least three hundred people." β
Hiss!
Silva gasped.
Well, it's really not that your own soldiers don't feel distressed.
Three hundred, if it is really an impact, the loss will definitely be hundreds.
Seeing that Silva was a little hesitant, Ning Xiu hurriedly said: "Three hundred people is the minimum, I estimate that there must be two or three hundred pirates hoarded here." If the governor does not bring three hundred men, how can they believe that you are going to attack from here? β
"Thisβ" Silva's muscles jumped, and he finally relented.
"Okay, I'll vote three hundred people on it."
After agreeing, Silva said: "Since Lord Ning is supervising the war in the east, it is obviously not possible to have too few people, so the governor will give you fifty men and a warship." β
Ning Xiu secretly slandered in his heart, his heart was only fifty people, and one ship, it was too picky.
But fortunately, he doesn't need to attack, so there are fewer people.
......
......
The shoal in front of Cape Blackstone was full of neatly groomed Franc mercenaries.
They were led by an officer towards the hill in front of Blackstone Point.
At the same time, a hundred of the most elite mercenaries were transported to the Black Rock Cliff in a number of small boats.
The simultaneous attack on the front and back cliffs was an order from Governor Silva, and although the soldiers were somewhat reluctant, they chose to obey.
The hill in front of Blackstone Point is not very high, but it is steep, and there are two checkpoints set up in the rugged path that leads to the hilltop fortress.
Only after crossing these two levels can you get to the bottom of the fortress.
There are 30 Haikou in the first checkpoint, and the leader of the bandit is called Shooting Collapse Sky, and he is a bandit.
The pirates built a one-foot high earthen wall on the path, and there were battlements from which they could shoot arrows.
Shooting the sky on the woman's belly yesterday was refreshing all night, and her whole body was soft, and she was lying on the ground and sleeping back to sleep at the moment, when she suddenly heard an exclamation.
"The Red-Haired Soldier is here!"
Hearing this, he immediately opened his eyes, and his body bounced subconsciously.
"What do you say, the red-haired soldiers are here? How many people are there? β
The little Haikou said with a sad face: "There are about two or three hundred people. β
Shoot the sky and sit on the ground with a buttocks.
Damn it, the red-haired soldiers are really not afraid of death, and they actually sent hundreds of people to storm Black Stone Corner.
Blackstone Point is the most difficult place on the whole island to be captured, and although the Franc Robot sent 300 men, he may not be able to capture Blackstone Point.
But the three levels under the Black Stone Corner are not strong, let alone 300 people, a hundred or so people may be able to take it.
There are only thirty people under the Shooting Collapse Heaven, and the pressure to defend against the attack of three hundred people can be imagined.
He thought of escaping, as long as he escaped back to Blackstone Castle, he would not be afraid.
But in this way, Scarface is bound to be furious, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not shoot the sky.
I shuddered at the thought of shooting the sky here.
Among the pirates, Scarface is notoriously ferocious, and the big boss has given Scarface full authority to command the forces of Blackstone Horn, and he doesn't intend to joke with his own head.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Prepare the bow and arrow, they are here to serve well." β
The crowd responded.
Two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps, one hundred steps.
Near, closer......
Shooting Heaven's breathing became rapid, and his heart beat extremely fast.
"Shoot the arrow, shoot the fuck!"
"Archery, archery!"
The pirates drew their bows and arrows, and shot them through the battlements.
The arrows they shoot are not accurate, but because of the terrain, they are from the top down, and they can always suppress the Franco.
And although the Franc mercenaries took out wooden shields to block, there were also a few unlucky eggs who were shot.
A scream came, and the officer frowned and said sharply: "Forward, forward, don't retreat!" β
Seeing that the Franc machine man was approaching, he shot the sky and cursed: "Change the gun, change the bird gun and beat his mother." β
In a panic, the crowd dropped their bows and arrows, picked up the firebolts, and reloaded the projectiles to ignite the fireropes.
This pass was busy, and finally a few shots were fired.
However, the number of their bird guns is too small, and they can only shoot sporadically, and the effect is greatly reduced.
But casualties are inevitable.
A lead bullet was fired into the abdomen of a Franc mercenary, swirling into the abdominal cavity, and the mercenary immediately fell to the ground in pain, screaming.
But no companion stopped to help him.
The soldier's face turned pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans flowed.
The fire didn't hurt his heart, and it would be a moment before he died, and the painful torture drove people crazy.
Seeing the Franc machine man getting closer and closer, the shooting behind the earthen wall was nervous.
"Spear, put the spear up!"
The spear that shot into the mouth of the Collapse Sky was actually just a spear.
The main body is a wooden stick with an iron spearhead mounted on top.
This thing was placed in the battlement of the earthen wall, and when the Franc machine man came, he stabbed it out.
Condescendingly, this thing is very good.
