Seeing that hundreds of pirates were charging up, it was too late for the musketeers to reload their guns at this time, so they threw their guns and knives while waiting for the officer's order, and at this critical moment, boom, boom, the low muffled sound of the Lying Ox Cannon, it turned out that three of the centipede boats that had picked up the soldiers to land turned back, and eighteen sailors landed on the shore with nine Lying Ox Cannons and opened fire. The Lying Bull cannon was weak, and few pirates were killed, but many pirates were wounded, and at least two hundred pirates were hit by iron sand and fell to the ground wailing. The pirate charge was gaining momentum, and I didn't know if I would continue to charge.

The musketeers were stunned, and the officers scolded: "Look at what, load the guns, the navy is delaying time for us." ”

The musketeers quickly loaded their ammunition, and the pirates still charged, this time less than thirty meters from the musket position, and the Vulcan spear once again roared, boom, boom. There was a single gunner who was too nervous to fire, that is, ninety Vulcan guns fired, but the lethality at this distance was too fierce, it was simply a life harvester, and the more than a hundred pirates who charged in front were sprayed with iron sand and were inhuman, and some were sprayed on the face, instantly becoming a pig's head, with thousands of holes on it, and some were sprayed on the chest, like a hornet's nest.

There are more than 600 pirates, and there are still about 300 people who have survived the blows of the Vulcan Gun and the Lying Ox Cannon, but these guys have entered a state of madness, and their eyes are red. At this time, the distance between the two sides was too close, and the artillery of the naval army could not be fired.

"Roar, roar, brothers, sailors, kill." Chao Xiong, Chao Xiong led a hundred sailors to land first. The musketeers saw that this group of sailors were really livestock, carrying big axes one by one, the handle could be seventy or eighty centimeters long, the axe could weigh seven or eight pounds, and the sharp axe blade was shiny.

Chao Xiong roared, and the big axe was first hit by a ronin's katana, and even the person with the knife was cut to the ground, and the big axe of Chao Xiong was not seven or eight catties, but fifteen catties. The second ronin sneaked up on Chao Xiong, and Chao Xiong lowered his head and slashed across with his axe, slashing the ronin's stomach open.

The sailor soldiers behind him are also extraordinary, they are all veterans, and they are very accurate.

At this time, Hao Siwen also landed, and at the same time there were four hundred musketeers. There were six hundred musketeers, three hundred muskets, and the ammunition had long been reloaded.

Chao Xiong saw that the time was almost up, and retreated. The pirates were also scared of being killed, but they didn't expect this group of people to be so violent, and the big axe was too ruthless to cut people.

Seeing that the opposing musketeers had also arrived, they ran back without any hope of victory.

The musketeers opened fire from behind, a thumping round of gunfire that almost finished the remaining pirates.

The remnants of dozens of pirates entered the pirate settlement, and Chao Xiong waved his axe: "Stop, don't enter, wait for the artillery." ”

Hao Siwen said: "Why don't you chase it." ”

Chao Xiong said: "Look at this group of houses, they are all disorganized, and they are all wooden, and once they catch fire, they will be very violent, and if the pirates set them on fire, it will be troublesome." ”

The musketeers were immediately arrayed, and the six hundred musketeers were divided into three groups, ready to fire in three stages.

Chao Xiong commanded the navy to go back to the beach and set up all the sleeping bull cannons on the centipede ship, a total of thirty cannons, cannonballs and other materials.

"Listen to the people inside, hurry up and come out and surrender." Before the sailor soldier finished shouting, a javelin flew out, dodged slowly, shot on the shoulder, life and death unknown.

Chao Xiong was angry and scolded: "Give you shame, the Lying Bull Cannon will fire in batches until this batch of miscellaneous pieces is blasted out." ”

Ten lying cow cannons opened fire, iron sand flew all over the sky, and several houses near it were bombed into hornet's nests. A dozen seconds later, the second round of artillery fire, followed by a third.

Hao Siwen said: "The attack effect of iron sand on buildings is too weak, so replace it with solid iron bullets." ”

Chao Xiong took a solid iron bullet and showed it to Hao Siwen, this iron bullet is bigger than a duck egg, and the effect is not good, after all, the Lying Niu Cannon is a shotgun, and it hits unarmored soldiers at close range.

But it's better than nothing, and the solid iron bullet will hit it hard, and hit him with a hundred shots first.

After a while, a man at the entrance of the village shook a strip of white cloth.

Chao Xiong waved his hand: "Stop." ”

The person shaking the strip of white cloth was a fair-skinned woman, and she murmured.

Chao Xiong shook his head when he heard this, what kind of bird language was he saying.

One of the musketeers said, "She speaks Goryeo." ”

Hao Siwen said: "Then you go over and translate for Captain Chao." ”

The soldier came and muttered, and then said to Chao Xiong, "They say that the pirates have fled, and now there are only women in the village, so let's stop firing." ”

Chao Xiong said, "Where are you women, why did you become a pirate?" ”

The woman said, "We are women from the coast of Goryeo, fishing for sea cucumbers on the beach, and we were robbed by pirates. There were more than 50 people in total. ”

Chao Xiong turned his head to Hao Siwen to discuss, and said, "I don't know if it's true or not, it's better to let them come over with their heads and tie them up with ropes." ”

Hao Siwen nodded and said, "It can only be like this, it is difficult to ensure that it is not a trick of the enemy." ”

Immediately let this group of women come over with their heads in their hands, and the soldiers tied their hands with long ropes, not to mention that although these women were swarthy by the sea breeze, they looked quite beautiful, and the men who had never seen women all year round looked at the old sows with clear eyebrows, not to mention these Korean women.

Under careful interrogation, it was indeed the fishermen along the coast of Goryeo who let these pirates rob it. Chao Xiong immediately ordered to be escorted to the warship and arranged for a special person to take care of it.

Chao Xiong said: "Since you are here, you can't go in, Camp Commander Hao sent 300 people with Yanling knives to follow behind our navy and search this little thief's nest." ”

Immediately, Hao Siwen ordered three hundred soldiers, Hao Siwen led the team and Chao Xiong into the village together, this pirate village was quiet, there was not a single human hair, and occasionally a few wounded people who had just been injured by the Lying Bull Cannon were humming there.

The pirates were so poor, there were only tatami mats and some pots and pans in the house, and there was no other furniture.

There is a road into the mountains behind the village, and it seems that the pirates entered the mountains from here, and if they are not familiar with the terrain, they are easy to suffer big losses in battle. It was not early, Chao Xiong was not ready to pursue, and led the team back.

Outside, there were more than 200 wounded pirates, wounded by the iron sand, wailing one by one.

The sailors demanded the execution of the prisoners, because in the fierce battle just now, the sailors had been hacked to death and wounded eight.

Chao Xiong said: "Generally, prisoners of war cannot be killed, so let's do it according to the rules, and those who are seriously injured and cannot be cured are thrown into the sea to feed the fish, and those who are lightly injured are bandaged and treated." ”

The battlefield was cleaned up until it was almost dark, leaving behind one hundred and fifty wounded pirates, tied in strings with ropes, and carried into the cabin.

The pirates left behind more than twenty intact ships, as well as the flying merchant ship, and got them all back. Merchant ships are to be returned to the shipowner.

After walking for dozens of miles, Hao Siwen said: "Captain Chao, I have a good way, I don't know how." ”

Chao Xiong said: "You can say what is the best way." ”

"The pirates have experienced the loss of the main force of the vicious battle just now, but they have not been completely annihilated, we have not found the goods on the bird ship, nor have we found the treasure of the pirates, as soon as we come back, the pirates will definitely return to the port to check the losses, we did not leave them with a boat, they designated that they are still on the island, we will take ten centipede ships to kill back, maybe we can give them a hard blow." Hao Siwen proposed.

Chao Xiong stomped on it and said, "It's a good way, or there are a lot of ghost ideas for scholars." ”

Immediately, the fleet found a small uninhabited island and docked nearby. Ten centipede boats, each equipped with ten sailors and thirty musketeers, a total of 400 soldiers, took advantage of the night to kill them again. Chao Xiong and Hao Siwen led the team, quietly all the way, and did not blow horns or torches. It was getting dark, and the pirate harbor was quiet after a fierce battle, but there were torches looming on the shore, and the pirates were looking for something.

"Sure enough, I came back, and the giant crossbow aimed at the village with a single shot, and set fire to me." Chao Xiong shouted.

When the centipede ships approached the shore, the pirates issued a warning, only to realize that the enemy was coming again, but it was too late, and the giant crossbows on the ten centipede ships shot out at a large elevation angle, and the dragon-like crossbow arrows flew towards the village. The pirates' houses are all made of wood, and now it is early winter, the air is dry, and the house is on fire when it sees it, and the fire rises, and it doesn't take long for it to become a sea of fire, and the panicked pirates don't know what to do, and there are more than a hundred people in the crowd.

"That's the pirate leader of the day." A soldier pointed to a black-clad ronin hiding not far away.

Hao Siwen bent his bow and set up an arrow, the arrow went like a meteor, and with a pop, the arrow directly hit the left eye of the leader. But this guy didn't die, and escaped with his wound in his hand. The Lying Bull Cannon opened fire with all its might, and the iron sand bullets were indiscriminately fired, and dozens of people were wounded one after another, but the pirates were already frightened birds, and quickly ran towards the mountain.

The musketeers slammed into their buttocks, and the bullets flew wildly, but the enemy was too scattered, and the Vulcan was a smoothbore gun, and it was not very useful to aim.

When he arrived at the edge of the forest, Chao Xiong said: "Don't chase it, the pirates are cunning, and it is difficult to ensure that there are no traps in the forest." ”

Hao Siwen said: "That can't be cheapened for nothing, let's set it on fire." ”

Chao Xiong clicked his lips: "How many trees are there in such a large forest, if the owner knows that I have to curse if I set fire, forget it, go back." Today's harvest is not small. ”

Immediately, the team collected the troops and returned to the camp, and the soldiers sang Kai Ge and happily returned home.

Back at Anpyeong Harbor, Chao Xiong arranged for the Goryeo women rescued from the island to close the gate in a large room, give them food and drink, and let them weave fishing nets, which could not be released for the time being, because it was still unclear whether they were pirates or not.

As for the more than a hundred pirate captives, they didn't have such good luck, most of them were lightly wounded, and they got the iron sand that could be picked out from their bodies, and they simply bandaged it and let him buy it to work, and there was a quarry nearby, and they did heavy physical work.

The battle report was sent to Chao Gai, and within ten days, Chao Gai actually arrived with a large group of people.
