Chapter 30: Serial Explosions
The faint village was not far ahead, and there were silver, treasures, and women in the house, and these hundreds of pirates were already like chickens, and their throats were all roaring, and they rushed towards the village in a swarm.
The road from the mound to the entrance of the village was only a few dozen zhang long, and a team of four or five hundred people rushed over in the blink of an eye. Han Liutao seems to be rude, his brain is turning fast, and the entrance of this village is a sign of an ambush, especially on the mound.
But he can't wait any longer, he has to kill the village to fill it with human lives, otherwise the demoralization is victory and there will be hidden dangers. This pirate leader is not so easy to do, not only does his subordinates work like wolves, but also does not let them have any doubts about themselves, once they lose their admiration and fear, they will soon be killed by other ambitious pirates.
Stimulated by the money woman who was about to arrive, the pirates rushed forward as if they were crazy, for fear that they would run slowly and the beautiful and pleasing big girl would be robbed by others.
From the market square, the whole team began to charge towards the village, and in the blink of an eye the team rushed to the bottom of the mound, and the pirates in front hesitated slightly, but they were immediately surrounded by those who rushed from behind, and the only bit of vigilance dissipated. The forward team is a shield knife hand, and the defensive instinct that should be possessed is still possessed, holding the shield and carrying the knife and trotting forward, and in a blink of an eye they reached the intersection that was almost to enter the village.
In the darkness, on the big tree under the backyard wall of the roof house at the entrance of the village, dozens of village soldiers were ambushed here, and they all blew up the letter incense in their arms. No one spoke, no one shouted, and dozens of yellow-and-white bamboo tubes suddenly flew out of the entrance of the black hole, each with a certain length of feet, and a little shining spark when flying in the air.
The first wave of more than 30 ignited bamboo grenades, which were made of gunpowder with several improvements and perfect formula proportions, each containing two catties of black powder and two catties of cast iron, the real lethality could be verified immediately.
The crowd was dense with the shield held high and marching fast, and the bamboo tube hit the shield and fell into the crowd, gurgling and rolling at the pirate's feet. The first wave of sword and shield bearers had no suspicion of what it was, and the crowd continued to walk forward with leather shields, and several shields that had just been hit on the head by bamboo tubes were raised even higher.
The second wave of more than 30 bamboo tubes flew over with sparks, and before these bamboo tubes landed, the first wave of bamboo tube leads had burned to the end.
"Boom, boom!" Thinking that the fuse in the bamboo tube burned not so precisely, the explosion was divided into sequences.
Bursts of fire erupted in the crowd, and explosions resounded through the night sky, and the tactics of using grenades as an offensive means for the first time in history began.
The frightened six gods and ownerless pirates didn't know what was going on, and the first wave of explosions killed and injured countless people, almost all of them were injured. Few of the 100-person shield swordsmen can stand, the gunpowder formula is accurate, the charge of two catties and the fragmentation effect of cast iron are even stronger than the wooden-handled grenades in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War.
The pirates, who were covered in blood and didn't know how many wounds they had left, had not had time to turn around and run away, and some lucky ones who rushed to the front uninjured were immediately surrounded by a second wave of explosions. Within a few feet of the entrance to the village, wounded pirates were lying down, and the terrible screams of the wounded pirates, accompanied by the bloody bodies rolling on the ground, made the archers behind them unaffected by the explosion tremble.
"Archer, straight ahead, give me three rounds in a row!"
The archers' counterattack is a waste of arrows, and the village soldiers who have thrown two rounds of bamboo barrels to thunder have long since found a place to hide, how can they stand and wait for you to shoot arrows.
At this time, the more than 400 pirates who had come ashore had all entered the road to the entrance of the village, and only Han Liutao rode a horse with a team of personal soldiers, and was still at the back of the team.
"Prepare the letter incense, put it on me!" Zhao Tianyou gave an order, and more than 60 bamboo tubes thundered into the sky, flying out of the hidden place of the mound like a goddess scattering flowers, and fell into the ranks of the pirates with fiercely burning sparks.
This just happened in the blink of an eye, and when the faint incense of the letter was shining on the mound, the woman behind Han Liutao found out. By the time she shouted to the archers to adjust their targets, the opportunity had been lost, and the bamboo tubes that fell into the team had not exploded, and the whole team had already been disorganized, shouting and fleeing for their lives.
The sound of explosions in a line came one after another, and this gravel road dozens of feet long simply became a purgatory on earth. On the right is a mound a few feet high, even if you climb up, there will be a silent cold arrow to shoot people down, and on the left is a deep ditch, although you can't fall when you jump down, but there is water below and it is difficult to think about it.
At the front of the line were the crippled sword and shield bearers, and the large forces behind were crowded with each other, and many of them dodged the explosion and jumped into the water of the deep ravine, becoming lambs to the slaughter. The pirate's archers did not form an effective counterattack, and the ambushed soldiers on the mound were like a game, and after lighting the medicine twist, they looked for a crowded place to throw it, and the killing effect was multiplied.
There were the most people running back, but the explosion was also the most intensive, not only the soldiers were staring, but even Zhao Tianyou threw bamboo tubes, blocking the pirates' retreat with explosions. Some pirates, who were nimble and lucky, escaped through the blockade of the explosion and fled to Han Liutao's horse.
"The owner of the island and the owner of the island are like thunder! Let's get out of ...... Yes! ”
With a wave of his long knife, Han Liu's long knife threw aside the corpse of the pirate who had already been killed, and shouted at the few remaining teams: "Gather the team, come to the square to gather and retreat, let's fight again another day!" ”
Han Liutao also saw that the people in this Meng family's fishing village were not easy to mess with, the ten thousand taels of silver had not been obtained, and the entire team was almost exhausted. After this battle, it is unknown whether he can still sit on Dongshan Island, and the rest of the forces will not do anything to see him recover his power, and someone will definitely come to deal with him.
Maybe Wei October dug a big hole, and the officers and soldiers of the state capital on the other side may have participated, and even people from the other two islands participated, so Han Liutao immediately hated Wei October to the core.
Han Liutao was afraid, thinking that there must be thousands of troops on the opposite side, and the remnants of the pirates had only gathered a few dozen people, so he turned his horse and retreated and prepared to board the ship and flee from here.
How could Zhao Tianyou give him a chance to regroup the team, the remnants of the defeated army who had already lost their bows and thrown arrows were at most a target for activity, and they could not allow you to escape. Besides, there were already more than a dozen soldiers who had secretly walked around to the dock, and just waiting for Zhao Tianyou's order, they began to attack the pirate ship moored at the dock.
"Squeak!" A sharp roar resounded through the night sky, Meng Shuirou shot an arrow, and then led the team of longbowmen, left the mound and followed the pirates, calmly firing arrows one after another, shooting down the pirates one by one.
Han Liutao was extremely aggrieved in his heart, but he had to flee with fear in his heart, and he ran a few steps in a row, and before he could rush through the market, he heard a few loud rumblings from the dock.
