Chapter 358: Procrastination + Desperate Situation (2-in-1)
"Damn it~You all deserve to die~"
His companion was burned alive, and the man was stunned, but he was helpless in the face of the relentless fire, and what was worse was that as the flames burned, their charge became meaningless - because the dock was the first to be built, it was not cement that was used to build the dock, but wood......
In other words, it was pointless for them to park the ship on the dock at this time, because with the burning of the flames, the dock made of wood had already turned to ashes, and without the dock, the big ship would not be able to dock, and their surprise attack was a complete failure.
"Good, that's it, that's it." Zhang Cambodia was very happy to see that the plan worked, he didn't care how many people were killed by this fire, it was purely incidental, his main purpose was to destroy this dock, as long as this dock was destroyed, then the enemy could not land quickly. If they want to continue the landing, they can only use small boats, but it is very difficult to move people from large ships to small boats, and this will undoubtedly buy Zhang Cambodia a lot of time, enough for him to arm his own men - as for asking for help, he is not very luxurious, because such a small patrol on the dock is already the only armed force nearby.
And where are the rest of the army?
They went on an expedition...... To be exact, it was a place to explore the location of Lilac Island - because I never thought that the Spice Islands would be attacked by the enemy, and the Spice Islands were too big, and they had not even explored Lilac Island until now, so except for the 1,000 dock patrol team, the rest of the troops were divided into expedition teams by Zhang Cambodia, divided into different queues and went to different directions to explore, striving to draw a map of Lilac Island at one time, and the last expedition team to leave was a month ago, No one knows where they are now, the only thing that is certain is that they must have been very far from the docks at this time...... There is no point in asking for help.
Fortunately, when Salen transported supplies last time, in order to let ordinary people have the power to protect themselves and avoid being attacked by the natives on the island, Li Zhen arranged for the fleet to send them a lot of weapons, which was enough to arm 10,000 people.
"Quick, transfer all the boats behind us to me." The man, who realized that he could no longer dock directly, quickly thought of the same method as Zhang Cambodia's guess.
An hour later, under the organization of the man, thousands of warriors boarded the boat, and countless people rowed their oars together, and the boat rushed towards the shore like an arrow off the string.
"It's finally here, and I've been waiting for a long time." Zhang Cambodia sneered, and waved his right hand downward: "Release the arrow......"
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
“……”
The archers who had already lined up the formation immediately let go of the bowstring in their hands, and thousands of feathered arrows rushed into the enemy camp like flying locusts, although not every feathered arrow could kill an enemy, but the bow and arrow was originally a suppressive weapon, and it was a victory in itself, plus the enemy was a dense formation charge - according to Zhang Cambodia's estimate, although most of the shots just now were sent out by novices, this round of shooting took at least three hundred lives, which is not a small number.
"Damn, hidden, quickly hidden~" The man was also helpless, he wanted to fight back, but there were no bows and arrows on his ship, and when they fled from their hometown, they brought some bows and arrows, but they had been wandering at sea for five years, and the bows and arrows had already been consumed. Therefore, in the face of the enemy's bow and arrow, they have only one way to dodge - it's not that they don't have long-range weapons to use, at least there are still a lot of crossbows on the big ship, but the crossbows on the ship are all bed crossbows, although the range and power are good, but the bed crossbow is huge and heavy, not only inconvenient to move, but also very rare in number, it is impossible to suppress this dense bow and arrow, even if it is taken, it can be said that it is useless.
"Leave them alone and keep shooting." Zhang Cambodia ordered.
"Rush~" The man's command is no problem, and the enemy has indeed dodged, but the front of the dock is empty, and the places that can be used to hide are really limited, most people have no place to hide, and they can only wait for death if they stay in place, so under the leadership of a brave man, most of the people who have nowhere to hide are brave the rain of arrows and begin to rush forward, trying to exchange time for death and rush into the Tang army before death.
"Hmph, stupid~" For such an act of sending him to death, Zhang Cambodia could only shoot again and again, while laughing mercilessly in his mouth - you will chase, won't we still run? It's just a kite flying tactic, and I don't know how to.
"Chong, ......" It's a pity that Zhang Cambodia's plan is good, but he ignores one thing, that is, archers are not so easy to be (according to statistics, a qualified archer needs to train for at least three years to succeed), novices are novices after all, but after five rounds of scattering, a considerable number of people can no longer pull the bow and arrow, and the rain of arrows has become sparse, and the enemy took advantage of this opportunity to immediately close the distance with them.
"Archers, get out!" Zhang Cambodia was shocked, and hurriedly ordered: "The spearmen began to suppress, don't save bullets......"
"Phew! ~”
"Phew! ~”
"Phew! ~”
“……”
A crisp shot rang out, and this time it was the gunners of the patrol who attacked, only to see them holding their rifles flat on the side, and pulling the trigger again and again in distress - three rounds of money were thrown out, and three times of money were thrown out, and there were only seven rounds of ammunition left, and there were six rounds left...... It's such a waste, it's really reluctant......
When Li Zhen left, he left them a lot of rifles, except for the ones taken away by the exploration team, there were two hundred guns on the patrol team, that is, there were fewer bullets, and each gun had an average of less than twenty rounds of ammunition (don't think that this is very little, two hundred guns are equipped with twenty bullets each, which is already four thousand rounds, according to the current bullet manufacturing process, the average cost of a bullet is nearly three dollars, which is 12,000 yuan, and Li Zhen did not have many guns at that time, plus the hundreds of guns taken away by the expedition team, This is already the limit of what he can support), on weekdays, these bullets are looked at by the gunners like treasures, and they are reluctant to use them at all, but today they don't need to, but the gunners who are familiar with the cost of bullets are chattering in their mouths, and they are distressed......
Fortunately, the power of the rifle is really good, sometimes it can even achieve two lives with one shot, and the enemy seems to be frightened by the power of the rifle, and the charge is blocked again......
"Damn, they don't have many bullets, rush me ......" The man standing behind was so angry that he jumped to his feet, most of his men had never seen this kind of strange weapon with flames, after all, guns and cannons were incompatible, the speed of the cannonballs was relatively slow, and many people didn't understand why such a piece of iron could burst out with so much power even if they died, but they could at least see clearly what it was that killed themselves. But bullets are different, the speed of this thing is too fast, almost the speed of sound, it is difficult for the human eye to distinguish, it is not clear what killed them, and these ignorant people will naturally have a sense of fear of it.
But others have never seen a gun, the man has seen it, and even he knows that his young master was shot first when he charged, which led to a decrease in combat effectiveness, and then he was beheaded by the enemy, otherwise with the strength of the young master, how could a mere captain be his opponent?
After seeing the rifle, the man naturally knows the shortcomings of this weapon, that is, the difficulty of making bullets, each gun can only be equipped with almost a dozen bullets, such a few bullets, it will be finished in a while, and a rifle without bullets is not even as good as a burning stick.
"Rush~"
The prestige of the man was not bad, or the quality of this group of people was very good, although they didn't understand what a bullet was, although they were still afraid in their hearts, but since they heard the order, they still rushed up with their weapons.
"Click!"
"Click!"
"Click!"
At this time, Zhang Khan finally understood what it meant to be a house leak, and it was raining, and the enemy had rushed up, but the bullets on his side had run out, which was really unlucky.
"Quick, everyone enter the warehouse area, take advantage of the favorable terrain to maneuver with them, and we must not let them break through our blockade."
Fortunately, the speed of his retreat is good, and he has retreated to the warehouse area, the terrain of this place is complicated, and people who have been here for a long time can't remember the terrain here, and this is also their only advantage now, but now the future is uncertain, and they can only look at it while walking...... All of them are gone. I only hope that after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows the news of his death, he can give a little more compensation, at least not to let his children live a poor life, if he can avenge himself by the way, it would be really good.
At least what Zhang Khan Zhi didn't know was that although his arrangement was reasonable, there was one thing he did go wrong, and he was wrong from the beginning - he miscalculated the real purpose of the enemy, and in his mind, the purpose of this group of enemies was probably to occupy Lilac Island. As everyone knows, the other party's ultimate goal is actually to loot the materials on the island, and as for attacking or even killing everyone on Lilac Island, this is their second goal.
If Zhang Cambodia can give up the dock position and even the warehouse from the very beginning. If the enemy could get their hands on the supplies in the warehouse, they might not be so angry that they would have to kill all the people on the island.
But it's no wonder that he is, after all, the Spice Islands are the territory of the Tang Dynasty, he is the governor of the Spice Islands, and he has the heavy responsibility of defending the territory and resisting the war, if he really evacuates without firing a shot, and even allows the enemy to loot the dock warehouse, even if he can survive in the end, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the accountability of the law enforcement team.
If he loses Li Zhen's trust because of this, the future will be dark from now on, and I am afraid that as soon as he returns to Lingnan, he will be thrown into prison and locked up for seventy or eighty years.
It's okay to suffer a lot, and when he comes out, I'm afraid that he will have to be wrong. Then he returned home, only to find a strange man living in his house, spending his money, sleeping with his wife, and beating his baby...... This life is simply not too miserable.
Of course, all of the above is hypothetical, in fact, Zhang Cambodia did not do this, on the contrary, in the face of the enemy's aggression, he also relied on a small number of manpower to rely on the favorable terrain to carry out heroic resistance, in the warehouse area for a day and a night, not only did not get punished, but also at a later commendation meeting, so he was rated as a heroic resistance activist, became the Tang people's conquest of the world, resisting the invaders of the model elite, but also recorded in the history books, by countless people worshipped.
But one day and one night is already his limit, after all, he only has a total of 1,000 patrol teams in his hands - as for the remaining thousands of people, they are all ordinary technicians, although those who dare to go to the unknown overseas alone these years are basically not timid, but courage does not represent combat effectiveness.
Especially the enemy on the opposite side is not an ordinary enemy, but the elite that Li Mi trained according to Guo Yiwei in the past, although after the baptism of time, this group of people have become uncles in their thirties and forties, their physical fitness has declined, and their combat effectiveness has been reduced, but it is also not something that a group of untrained ordinary people can deal with. It can even be said that in the face of the enemy, they are completely powerless, and even the patrol team has suffered heavy losses after fighting them twice, losing more than 200 people.
After a short period of contact, Zhang Cambodia was also taken aback by the heavy losses, and no longer dared to confront them head-on, but relied on the familiar terrain to fight a guerrilla war with them, which could be regarded as barely blocking the enemy.
Even using guerrilla tactics, Zhang Cambodia led people to kill thousands of enemies - of course, they can't all be elites, in fact, even Li Mi, he has not cultivated more than 5,000 elites, after all, they are secretly cultivated, and the number cannot be too many. After so many years of attrition, there are now less than a thousand people, and although the rest of them are brave, they are actually just ordinary elites, and their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the patrol team.
But today, it is already the limit, after all, the warehouse area is limited, and now Zhang Cambodia has been blocked in the last warehouse by the angry enemy, and there are less than two hundred people left, and most of them are defeated soldiers, and the rest are either killed or fled, and now Zhang Cambodia has really come to the end of the road - he no longer expects that there will be rescuers, he now only hopes that his final arrangement can have an effect, if he can finally succeed, he may be able to take away half of the enemy's number, That's the limit of what he can do
