The artillery shells of this idea were solid shells, and the gunpowder was also black powder, which was much less powerful than the shells of later generations, and the two shells fired non-stop, and they only smashed the roofs of many houses, and the damage caused was extremely limited. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut the point is that the pirates have never experienced this, listening to the loud "boom" and watching the roof of their house being smashed, many women and children let out bursts of screams.

"Big boss, fight with them!" The pirates gathered around Gu Rong were furious, how could they have been bullied to such a situation?

"Wait a little longer, soon the official army will attack the stockade, and we will ambush them in the village." At this moment, Gu Rong rarely kept his calm and did not let his anger get carried away.

"Big boss, how do you know they're going to kill you?" Defeated one after another, and now forced into the lair like rats by the official army, Gu Rong's prestige has declined a little, and some pirates dare to question it.

"Fool, look at what time it is, it will be dark in less than an hour, and if the officers and soldiers can't take the stockade before dark, they can only retreat. We can move to the depths of the island at night, and you say that they will attack immediately. Gu Rong scolded sharply.

"But, they don't necessarily have to come in, most of our houses here are made of wood and bamboo, what if the officers and soldiers set fires?" The pirate was still unconvinced, and muttered again.

Gu Rong's brows furrowed, and he was about to get up and teach this guy who dared to challenge his authority a hard lesson, but when he heard the last sentence, he was stunned for a moment. Yes, what if the official army sets fire to the village?

.....................................................

"Set fire!" Ren Siqi's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Huang Fengwu incredulously.

"Yes, it is arson, Sun Tzu's Art of War Fire Attack has a saying: There are five fire attacks: one is called the fire man, the second is the fire accumulation, the third is the fire chariot, the fourth is the fire store, and the fifth is the fire team. There must be a cause for fire, and fireworks must be furnished. There are times when the fire starts, and there are days when the fire starts. The time is dry, and the sky is dry; The sun, the moon is in the kei, the wall, the wings, and the wings. All those who live in these four quarters will also be the day when the wind rises. ”

"Now that the enemy's camp is all made of wood, we are in the upper wind, and if we put a fire, the enemy's camp will be turned to ashes. In this way, the enemy army can be annihilated without a single soldier being injured. Huang Feng's eyebrows fluttered, and he said to Ren Siqi.

"Sure enough, it's a good plan!" Ren Siqi exclaimed: "It's just that this strategy is too ruthless, you must know that water and fire are ruthless, and I don't know how many people will die in the fire if they go down to the fire, not only pirates in this village, but also many women and children." Ren Siqi hesitated.

"Lord Inspector, you must know that Ci is not in charge of the army, and in this village, in addition to the pirates, they are the families of the pirates. If they are innocent, how fortunate are the tens of thousands of Ming people who died on Chongming Island? "Soft on Ren Siqi's heart, Huang Fengwu was quite unimpressed.

Ren Siqi's heart struggled, he knew that Huang Fengwu's suggestion was undoubtedly the best way to deal with the enemy now, but thinking that a fire would cost thousands of lives, Ren Siqi felt unbearable.

Raising his head, he looked around, his eyes swept over the faces of more than 200 soldiers under him, and his heart gradually hardened. The remaining pirates are more than twice as many as themselves, and casualties are inevitable no matter how they fight, these more than 200 soldiers are trained by themselves, and Ren Siqi naturally does not want to have any casualties. Now that there is a way to defeat the enemy without hurting the soldiers, what are you hesitating about?

After figuring it out, Ren Siqi relaxed. One order after another was passed down, and soldiers began to set fire to the houses everywhere. The Daishan military ship is equipped with a lot of oil, and it is particularly convenient to set it on fire. Soon several houses were set on fire, and the wooden houses were easily ignited, and it didn't take much effort to burn into a torch. The fierce sea breeze blew from the sea and blew the sparks into the distance, and soon more houses were set on fire, and miserable cries rang out, and countless people rushed out of their homes, picking up buckets and wooden basins, trying to extinguish their own burning houses.

Unexpectedly, the official army actually set fire to the proverb, and the pirate slapped his mouth with regret.

"Ah, my house is on fire, and my wife is still at home!" A pirate screamed and was about to rush out, but the pirate next to him desperately hugged his waist, he struggled hard, and the two of them rolled to the ground.

The pirates were in an uproar, and Gu Rong's relatives and henchmen tried their best to scold, but they couldn't suppress it anymore.

"Everyone rushed over with me and fought with the **** officers and soldiers!" Gu Rong knew that he had made too many mistakes today, and he couldn't hesitate anymore, and now that the entire army's heart had been shaken, he could only collapse if he hesitated. Nowadays, firefighting is not the most important thing, the most important thing at the moment is to defeat the officials and soldiers who set fires.

After making up his mind, Gu Rong returned to his previous decisiveness, picked up the long knife, and took the lead and rushed out along the street.

Gu Rong took the lead in rushing, his henchmen naturally followed, and the other pirates also rushed forward. But the pirates whose houses were engulfed in flames hesitated, whether to go to the officers and soldiers to fight or go home to save their families? This choice is not very difficult.

Gu Rong's initial battle plan was to fight with the officers and soldiers in the village, relying on the complex terrain to eliminate the officers and soldiers. So his men did not gather together, but were ambushed separately in various alleys and houses. There were only a hundred people who really followed him, and now among the hundred pirates, dozens of them were in a hurry to go home to save their families, so there were only sixty or seventy people behind Gu Rong.

"Kill, kill the officers and soldiers!" Gu Rong held his long knife high, shouted loudly, beckoned his subordinates everywhere, followed his footsteps, and went to attack the officers and soldiers who set fire.

From time to time, pirates rushed out of the alley, following behind Gu Rong and the others, but at the moment the whole village was in a state of chaos, crying, fighting fires, and many people running around like headless flies. There were only more than 200 pirates who really followed Gu Rong to attack the official army, and the formation was scattered, and more than 200 people pulled out a long slip.

At the gate of the wall, the officers and soldiers who had let the fire were waiting in front of the formation, fifty musketeers were in front of the formation, the muskets had already been loaded, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at the pirates who rushed in.

"Kill, kill the officers and soldiers of the dog day!" Gu Rong roared angrily and took the lead in rushing towards the array of officers and soldiers. Looking at the strict formation of the officers and soldiers, he knew that he had lost, and the panicked pirates could not be the opponent of the officers and troops who were waiting for the battle. At this moment, Gu Rong was extremely regretful, he knew that he should fight to the death with the official army outside the village!

Closer, closer, Gu Rong could already see the faces of the officers and soldiers on the other side and the muzzle of the black hole.

"Bang bang bang" The gunshots rang out like popping beans, and Gu Rong felt that his body was light, as if he was about to fly. (To be continued.) )
