Chapter 203: Burning Pirates
Chapter 203: Burning Pirates
Zhao Zizhong looked at the more than 20 guards wrapped in iron cans, and thought to himself, these people can be used as heavy infantry to impact the enemy's position when the two armies are facing each other.
Du Dalei said flatteringly: "Boss, I beg you." Andaro and Boris are not here, and it is my turn to go out and have a good time. Last time I was at Cui's house in Mingzhou, I didn't go out to kill the enemy, but I was just responsible for guarding those old and weak women and children, and I was ridiculed by Na Zhe for a long time when I came back. It's time for me to go into battle this time, right?
Zhao Zizhong lowered his head and thought about it, and said: "Xiao Du, you can go into battle, but you must obey the order, and you can't attack without authorization, understand?" ”
Du Dalei hurriedly said: "Boss, I understand, all actions are under command." You can rest assured. ”
Zhao Zizhong advised: "You take them, walk at the front of the line, and if you encounter an enemy, you will line up in a horizontal line, and the formation should be tighter." Then don't get entangled with the enemy, play to your combat advantage as soon as possible, and attack the enemy's formation until you are defeated. But don't chase after you, because your armor is too heavy to outrun the enemy who wants to flee for your life. ”
Du Dalei nodded, "Boss, I understand." We're just some humanoid tanks that we're using to break down enemy formations. We will not act on our own, we will all obey your command. ”
In the open space, there were more and more guards, all of them holding weapons, and under the command of captains at all levels, they lined up in formation. Under the light of the torches, the black pressed a large area.
Fan Jinchun walked over and said loudly: "Mr. Zhao, except for a few sick guards, they are all here, a total of five hundred and sixty-seven people. ”
Zhao Zi thought about it again and said to Fan Jinchun: "Old Fan, you stay with eight squads and guard the camp." ”
Fan Jinchun immediately agreed, ordered eight squads, and entered the camp.
Zhao Zizhong looked at the remaining more than 400 people, then stood on a high place and shouted loudly: "You are all good men, if anyone makes a meritorious contribution this time, I will not hesitate to reward." Money, land, women, whoever has the ability will come and take it! But if anyone escapes, I will kill him!" ”
The guards' eyes were red, and they knew that the guards of Qishan Island attached great importance to their exploits, and Zhai Xiaoshan was the best example. In the last battle of the Cui family in Mingzhou, Zhai Xiaoshan alone got 400 yuan, 20 acres of land, and a mother-in-law who was like a flower.
Everyone was boiling with blood, and they all said that they would work hard to kill the enemy, get gold and silver, land and beautiful girls.
Zhao Zi saw that the mobilization in front of the station had an effect, so he shouted loudly: "Column mandarin duck formation, crossbowmen are behind, go!" ”
Du Dalei set out at once with more than twenty iron-skinned men under his command, armed with various heavy weapons, such as axes, swords, and hammers, and marched out of the valley in a horizontal formation.
The captains at all levels shouted loudly, and the guards quickly lined up a neat phalanx, and each squad formed a mandarin duck formation, and then converged into a large phalanx and set off one after another.
Zhao Zizhong looked at this orderly scene and smiled with satisfaction, it seems that the usual hard work has not been in vain. The guards were orderly and did not panic, everyone formed a battle formation step by step, and advanced to the outside of the valley.
Zhao Zizhong immediately came out of the crowd and came to the front of the team. He quickly ran towards the valley, and soon overtook the tin men led by Du Dalei.
"Boss, what are you running for? Let's wait for everyone. Du Dalei shouted.
"It's okay, I'll go out and have a look first. You guys speed things up. Zhao Zizhong ran away without a trace, and Du Dalei had to speed up his pace, wanting to catch up with Zhao Zizhong. But the armor on their bodies became heavier and heavier, and everyone was out of breath, carrying their weapons, and walked with great difficulty towards the entrance of the valley.
Zhao Zizhong soon approached the entrance of the valley, he slowed down, and heard the crowd outside, as if many people were shouting.
Zhao Zi's center of gravity was in a hurry, and he climbed the hillside at the entrance of the valley and looked outside.
He saw a large number of people gathered outside the bunker, carrying torches and weapons of all kinds, and they were shouting loudly.
The gates of the bunker were closed, and arrows were being fired from the second floor and the top of the bunker, and people were constantly being shot down, some dying without saying a word, and others rolling on the ground, crying for help.
Zhao Zizhong saw Zhai Xiaoshan standing at the top of the bunker, and he quickly opened his bow and released arrows, and he was able to shoot an enemy every time.
At this time, the besieging enemy gradually approached the pillbox, and many began to chop down the gate with weapons.
Zhao Zizhong saw Zhu Weiming, the captain of the squad guarding the bunker, lit the fuse of *, and then waited for a while and threw * out.
"Boom!"
* Exploded in the air, and the iron nails and iron filings inside were scattered, bringing down more than thirty pirates around.
The other pirates were also frightened, and one of the pirates shouted, "Run! Thunder has fallen from the sky! If you don't run, you'll die! ”
The pirates swarmed into the distance, leaving corpses in their wake.
In the dark place a few hundred meters away from the bunker, Lin Xiwang and the second master, He Deyi, saw such a scene, and their faces turned blue with anger.
A few hours earlier, they had led the fleet to the dock and had met no resistance. After the pirates came ashore one after another, Lin Xiwang found that the three masters came over in a daze, with a big hole in their faces, and blood was still flowing.
He hurriedly took out a handkerchief, covered the wound of the third master, and then asked, "Third brother, what happened?" Was it thunder just now? ”
"Thunder! Heaven is angry! People are dead, are we still alive? ”
The third master said incoherently, Lin Xiwang couldn't see what to ask, so he asked people to help him to rest, and bandaged the wound by the way.
The second boss came over and said, "Boss, there are several warehouses in front, and there are only a few people in them guarding the goods, and they are all slaughtered by the brothers." The four ships docked on the dock, with only a few people guarding them, were all slaughtered. It's just that there is a strange-shaped house next to the warehouse, and the brothers have suffered some losses, and more than twenty people have died. The thunder just now came from outside that house. After the thunder, the brothers were killed and wounded, and everyone said that the people inside could summon the heavenly thunder and kill the brothers. ”
Lin Xiwang didn't believe such nonsense at all, and he said to the second master: "Let's go and see what's going on." ”
With some personal guards, they walked towards the pillbox. When they came to a place more than 300 meters away from the bunker, they were shocked to see the corpses all over the ground outside the bunker.
Of the more than 50 people who followed the three masters to the island, only a dozen were left intact. More than two dozen people have been turned into corpses, and the others have been injured to varying degrees and are being bandaged and treated.
Lin Xiwang was very angry, and he shouted loudly: "Second brother, you lead people to attack, you must take this house!" Avenge your brothers! ”
The second boss agreed to come down and immediately gathered his men and prepared to attack.
More than a hundred pirates lined up in a simple phalanx, and the people in the front row held some door panels as shields, and slowly approached the pillbox.
At the top of the bunker, Lao Pang looked at the approaching pirate team, and said worriedly: "Captain, there are too many pirates, it seems that there are more than a thousand people. Can we hold on? ”
Wang Dafu's face was solemn, he thought for a while, and said: "We have to persevere, it is estimated that reinforcements will come soon." ”
Xiao Lizi rolled his eyes and suggested to Wang Dafu: "Captain, the enemy is lined up in such a dense formation, should we entertain them with *?" ”
Wang Dafu slapped his thigh, "That's it, you kid has a very smart head!" When you defeat the enemy, I ask Mr. Zhao for credit for you! ”
Wang Dafu ran back to the second floor with Xiao Lizi and Lao Pang, took a few*, and with the help of everyone, put the * in the net pocket of the ballista, ready to launch.
Wang Dafu personally aimed and set the landing point of * in the middle of the pirate formation. He lit the strip of cloth at the closure of the clay pot and shouted, "Fire!" ”
A guard slammed the trigger with a sledgehammer, "Jump~~!" The bowstring fluttered, and the clay pot was thrown out, falling in an arc among the pirates.
The clay pot shattered, and the whale's grease splattered everywhere, and it was immediately ignited. Many of the pirates were on fire, and they struggled to set their companions on fire.
The pirates were completely disorganized, everyone fled in all directions, and many jumped into the sea with fires to extinguish the flames.
Lin Xiwang looked at the dozens of subordinates struggling in the sea of fire, he was so angry that his muscles were exposed, and he kept pounding the ground with his fists.
The second master shouted to the crossbowmen next to him: "Shoot them, give them a good time, these brothers are hopeless." ”
The crossbowmen had no choice but to fire their bows and arrows, and soon killed more than thirty burning men. The corpses were still burning, and cheers could be heard from the top of the bunker.
The second master came to Lin Xiwang and whispered: "Boss, we can't delay, let's attack the valley immediately." Just leave some people here to watch, there aren't many people in there, and we don't need to gnaw on this hard bone. ”
Lin Xiwang thought about it and agreed. He left behind more than thirty pirates, keeping an eye on the bunker. Then he led a large group of men and horses and immediately marched towards the valley.
The pirate team was in a mess, and everyone was talking about the thunder and fire just now. Many people think that everyone has been punished by heaven, and God has sent down heavenly thunder and heavenly fire to punish everyone.
The second boss saw that the people in the team were panicking, so he found Lin Xiwang, pulled him aside, and whispered: "Boss, it can't go on like this!" Everyone was scared that if they hit hard stubble, the team would collapse. ”
Lin Xiwang thought about it, "In this way, you tell them that if they capture Qishan Island, each person will share two hundred copper coins, and the women on the island will be rewarded to everyone." Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men. Brothers, stimulated by money, will definitely fight to the death. ”
