Three pirate ships, Chen Yi's ship does not move, such as the Chinese army in command; One bypassed from the left side of the merchant ship, looking for a gap and waiting to attack, like a cavalry around the formation, looking for an opportunity to attack; A frontal rush is carried out in a gang-jumping operation, like a frontal infantry rushing into battle.

Dealing with only a few people, the command arrangement is also secretly in line with the art of war, Chen Yi can crisscross Fujian and Guangzhou for many years, and his reputation is indeed not false. Of course, this also reflects Chen Yi's strong fear of these people from the side.

The warship that went around was the one that had been hit hard before, and Chen Yi added some of it from the ship, although the number of pirates was not as good as before, but if you ignore these dozen pirates, the consequences are enough to drink a pot.

And the pirate ship rushing head-on is the main warship fully loaded under the command of Zuo Scar. This time, the pirates learned to be obedient, and no one dared to stand on the side of the ship to show off their might, but all hid like rats behind the women's walls, battle grids, and floor baffles. It wasn't until the ship was nearly 20 feet long, slowed down and crossed, and approached the side side, that one by one, the merchant shipwrights and Zhuang Ding were escorted out of the bilge.

In the pushing, pushing and shoving, the faces of the shipwrights and villagers were as earth-colored, wailing for a long time, and some people looked at the owner of the ship's mast who was hanging on the tip of the ship's mast and wept. After being hung for a long time, Bi Duan'an, whose eyes were so swollen that he couldn't open them, was weak and let out a hoarse scream. The servant of the proprietor looked at each other and wept sadly.

The pirates then lined up the shipwright Zhuang Ding in two rows on the side of the ship, facing the merchant ship, stripped off his clothes, and stuffed an unlit torch between the wrists of each man on his back. The boatmen were terrified, because the torches were stuck between their wrists, and they could not reach or shake them off.

At this moment, Zuo Scar, under the double escort of four shield-wielding pirates, appeared behind the shipwrights and villagers with torches, and shouted in an ugly voice like cutting the bottom of the pot with his knife: "Do you want to go back to your ship?" Needless to say, I must have wanted to. Now I'll give you a chance to follow these ladders and walk back. Whoever can return to the ship safely will have his life saved. ”

There was a commotion among the shipwrights, and their faces were full of disbelief.

Left Scar's voice suddenly turned evil: "You can only save your lives if you rush back to your ship as fast as you can, otherwise you ......" He didn't say any more, but answered with action - he stretched out his hand from between the double shields, and with the torch in his hand, he ignited the back torch of a boatman who was facing him with his back, and the sound of the flames burning the flesh and skin was mixed with the miserable screams of the boatman who couldn't bear to hear it, and it made people's hearts throb.

Several pirates snatched it out, slapped down the long ladder with a hook, and once again built several passages between the two ships.

At the same time, a dozen pirates armed with torches flipped out from behind the women's wall and lit the torches on the backs of a long line of captives. For a time, the peculiar smell of moxibustion and roasted meat, billowing smoke and miserable screams resounded through the sea and air.

Using captives as a wall, setting off fireworks, and taking the opportunity to break through, this is the strategy of the pirate rematch.

……

"Let's each report the amount of ammunition." Zhao Lie tied the remaining nine-tube thunder cannon into a bundle with a thin rope, twisted the lead rope into a bundle, and counted in his mouth, "I still have twenty-eight shotguns, fifty-six Blackstar pistol rounds, and forty-nine revolver rounds." Also, this nine-barreled thunder cannon. ”

Ma Nanchun patted the bullet belt in his robe: "I have forty-two rounds of ammunition left for my revolver." ”

"Twenty-seven shotgun shotguns." It was Shi Yang who spoke.

"Twenty-nine shotgun shotguns in three bursts." This is Wang Ping'an.

"Twenty-five shotgun shotguns in three bursts." After Ding Xiaoqi finished the report, he found that he had the least inventory and was depressed.

"Fifty-five rounds of revolver rounds, projectiles...... I don't know, maybe two or three hundred. "Contrary to his younger brother, Ding Xiaoyi has the least shortage of ammunition. Her shotgun projectiles were homemade lead pellets, each weighing no more than two yuan, and she carried a piece of lead weighing five catties and two taels with her, which could make more than 300 lead pellets. The rate of fire of the shotgun was slow, and she only fired one shot out of ten shots, and so far, she has fired less than twenty shots. It can be said that he is the person with the most surplus ammunition.

When Zhao Lie and his entourage left the mountain, they carried a total of 500 rounds of pistol ammunition and 200 rounds of shotguns, a total of 700 rounds of ammunition, which were distributed among six people, with an average of more than 100 rounds per person. This does not include the homemade projectiles used by Ding Xiaoyi's shotgun.

So far, there have been three battles: the battle of Yongji Temple, the night attack on the dock, and the battle against pirates. The battle of Yongji Temple consumed more than 50 rounds of ammunition, the night raid on the dock consumed more than 30 rounds, and the previous battle of the pirates, the best results were killed, and the most bullets were consumed - just half a stick of incense, more than 200 rounds of bullets of various types were fired, and ten barrels of thunder cannons were thrown. At this moment, only half of the ammunition left in their hands was left.

"I've seen enough." Ma Nanchun said in a firm tone, "There are still more than 300 rounds of ammunition left, and there are only more than 100 pirates, and an average of two rounds are waiting for one pirate." Besides, Chen Yi is not a fool, is it difficult to fight with us to the last person? If my prediction is correct, we only need to kill half of his men, and he will have to withdraw if he is not reconciled. ”

Shi Yang also agreed: "Each warship needs at least twenty people to sail, and if it is less, he can't even take the ship away, then it is called a big loss." ”

In such troubled times, pirates will never be short of people, and the shortage of people can be replenished at any time, but there will always be a shortage of scarce military supplies such as warships-don't you see Zhao Hunt go to great lengths to get a warship. Therefore, Chen Yi can afford to lose people, but he definitely can't afford to lose ships. Ma Nanchun and Shi Yang's analysis is reasonable.

Zhao Lie raised the bundle of thunder cannons in his hand: "Okay, it's like this when we will fight......

Before the words fell, the hull of the ship shook violently, and the familiar sound of hooks and ladders snapped.

Zhao Lie jumped up and said to Zhang Junbao, Grasshopper, Heimaru and other teenagers for the first time: "You guys quickly get out of the bilge and take care of your younger brothers and sisters." If you do not hear the call, you are not allowed to come out under any circumstances. ”

Grasshopper just spoke: "But, we want to ......"

"Nothing. I'm not consulting with you, I'm giving orders. Got it? Command! ”

"Yes!"

After settling the orphans, Zhao Liejiao looked out at the window, and he noticed that the torches planted by the pirates for the captives were not oil torches, but wet wood torches, and the fire was not big and smokey. After a slight thought, it became clear that the pirates did this for two purposes: first, not to burn or seriously injure the prisoners; The second is that their purpose is not to burn the ship, but to create thick smoke and use the smoke to cover the breakthrough. It has to be said that the pirates are all old and quickly found a way to deal with it.

At this time, the shipwright Zhuang Ding, who was choked by the scorching and smoking, was driven by the desire to survive, and did not wait for the pirates to use it, and stepped on the hook and ladder one after another, and rushed towards the merchant ships—and behind them, the pirates with swords and axes were creeping closely behind, covering and killing.

The Ding family's sisters and brothers were sweating when they saw it, the pirate's hand was really vicious, did this gun fire?

Ma Nanchun gritted his teeth: "Let's shoot." ”

You live or die, and you can't tolerate half mercy. And, too, there is no choice.

Jueyuan shouted a Buddha call: "Amitabha, the little monk is willing to go out of the cabin to pick up the shipwright Zhuang Ding." ”

Shi Yang frowned: "Monk, don't be stupid, as soon as you go out, you will become a target." ”

The screams outside were getting louder and louder, and Jueyuan couldn't bear to listen to them suddenly, and he was about to rush out as soon as he shook the long stick. Unexpectedly, the figure flashed, and a person stopped in front of him: "Monk, there will be a time when you can help." Now, let me do it! ”

Zhao Hunt!

Zhao Liefeng rushed out of the cabin in general, and under his ribs, there was a bundle of smoking thunder cannons.
