Chapter 418: The Numb Boatman
The warships suddenly stopped, and the more than 300 Japanese on the shore did not make any further movements. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info it has been made clear that there is no one in charge, but Ye Shaolong did not receive any signal, but he did not dare to act rashly.
After all, Su Can and Tie Tower, as well as nearly two hundred soldiers from the musket battalion, were all captured on the ship, and Ye Shaolong didn't dare to take their lives as a child's play until he got their exact news.
Therefore, Ye Shaolong didn't dare to make any moves at the moment, and even ordered Li Chengke to bring someone back. Temporarily make a truce with the Japanese army, and wait for Su Can and them to send a signal before making plans.
Tie Ta was still cleaning up the corpses with a few brothers from the musket battalion, and seeing that none of the brothers in the musket battalion were of a bad breed, Tie Ta felt quite comforted, but he also felt distressed for them.
But this is war, either you die or I die, and it's suffocatingly cruel. Compassion will only bring you destruction, and war can not be merciful in the slightest.
Su Can rushed to the bottom of the cabin with more than 100 people, only to see that the dozens of sailors were all ordinary people of the Qing Dynasty, and there were less than 20 people in charge of supervising the Japanese Kou.
A hundred people can fight less than twenty people, even if the Japanese are not afraid of death, there is no room for resistance, and they are easily solved by Su Can and others.
None of the dozens of boatmen stood up to resist, and all seemed to have been locked up in this dark place for a long time. After seeing Su Can and the others kill the supervised widows, they were already numb and their eyes were blank.
Su Can frowned, waved his knife to cut off the head of a widow beside him, and shouted loudly: "All the people gather here, dare to disobey, behead!" ”
The cabin was so quiet that it could be heard that a needle was falling, but no one responded to Su Can, and his godless eyes looked at Su Can in a daze, but he didn't even move a step.
A brother from the musket battalion leaned into Su Can's ear and whispered, "General, it seems that these people have been locked up for too long, and they all seem to be insensitive. ”
Su Can will also realize that this is indeed the case, after all, when these people face the beheading, they don't react at all.
In fact, Su Can didn't know that in order to train these people to drive the ship, they had to ensure that some people would not leak any skills.
From the time they were chosen, they were shipwrights all their lives, until the day they could no longer work, and they were put to death.
Imagine a person who has worked in such a closed space for more than ten or twenty years, such a person will inevitably go crazy if he is not numb. And these people are not crazy, obviously they are numb.
After making sure that these boatmen were completely numb, Su Can left more than thirty people to guard here, and then returned to the deck with the remaining dozens of people.
At this moment, the tower has completely picked up the corpses of all the brothers in the musket battalion and placed them aside. And all the corpses of those would-be robbers were thrown into the sea by the iron tower to feed the fish, leaving only the head of Sakata for a day.
Su Can stared at the brothers in the musket battalion, and from those pieces of limbs, he could see how cruel the fight was just now. After a moment of silence for the sacrificed brothers, Su Can collected his mood and looked at another ship three hundred meters away and fell into deep thought.
Now the only question is how to take down another warship? Su Can thought for a long time but couldn't think of a solution, looked at the tower, and wanted to ask him if there was a way, but after hesitating, he still gave up the idea.
Judging from the IQ of the tower, there is no need to ask for a way to know that there is no solution. Su Can sighed lightly and simply ordered Ye Shaolong to send a signal to them.
The signal soldiers of the musket battalion climbed to the highest watchtower with two small flags, and kept waving the two small flags.
Ye Shaolong, who was fighting against the Japanese on the shore, had been paying attention, and when he saw the signal at this moment, he was not happy but worried. According to the information from the signal, although Su Can and the others occupied one warship, they were helpless against the other.
This also means that Ye Shaolong can only get one warship at most, and the other one can only watch it slip away from under his nose.
The duck flew away, although it was a pity, but the current situation could only be like this, Ye Shaolong asked Li Cheng to do his best to take down all the widows on the shore.
Li Chengke had been waiting for this order for a long time, and immediately laughed evilly, and directly ordered to kill all the prisoners.
The rest of the musket battalion was also under the command of Li Chengke. Long-range offense is naturally the first to go on.
The would-be robbers, who had not received any instructions at all, already felt that something was wrong, but no orders came, and they did not dare to retreat without permission, so they could only remain in place and not know what to do.
At this moment, when they saw that the Yejiabao army was moving, they immediately panicked, and the leader of the Japanese still did not wait for the order, which made them enter or retreat, and fell into a dilemma.
And soon they discovered another strange situation, the Yejiabao army directly pressed up. However, the warship that suppressed the fire no longer had any reaction and remained in place.
Such a situation would never happen, and the Wako had already realized that something was wrong and immediately ordered a retreat. But they were too late, the musket battalion had been sulking for a long time, and this time they could finally vent their evil spirits, and naturally they would not let go of these widows easily.
"Bang!"
After the first gunshot, it was hardly heard again.
More than 2,000 men of the musket battalion formed a dozen columns and marched forward in great strides, firing at the fleeing pirates in panic.
There was no need to aim at all, and the men of the musket battalion would shoot with their guns raised, then stop to reload their ammunition, while those behind would take a step forward and raise their guns and shoot again.
This went on and on, and the gunfire never stopped, and the bullets rained down on the pirates.
Blood suddenly swept across the dock, and screams came one after another, and the pirates without muskets were like live targets, allowing the soldiers of the musket battalion to shoot them.
Without any mercy, the soldiers of the musket battalion were not merciful at all, and regardless of the death or wounding of the pirates, as long as no ceasefire order was issued, they would definitely shoot all these damned pirates.
Gunfire rang out from the shore, but the two warships at sea did not react at all, allowing their compatriots to be shot mercilessly.
Such a strange scene was finally seen by the princess in the distance, and although she didn't know what was going on, she immediately let the two warships retreat.
It doesn't matter if some people die, but if the warship is lost, even if she is a princess, she will not be able to explain it to her father when she returns.
The order was given as fast as possible, but to everyone's surprise, only one warship accepted the order and began to retreat, while the other remained in place without any reaction.
Such a strange scene immediately made the princess feel that something was wrong, but she still didn't know what was going on, so she could only send someone to investigate.
