"What a bunch of things that don't know whether to live or die. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Hu Fakui wiped a bayonet with a piece of suede, not the slightest worry about what was about to happen.

Lin Youde was sweating profusely, and he said: "Lan Fang mobilized people to attack from all directions, if they set up obstacles on the river, they will cut off our back road and besiege Sanfa." ”

Hu Fakui said: "I have already ordered someone to guard the back road, if Lan Fang's people really have this wisdom, then we can only withdraw from the dock to protect our back road, but we are also well-manned, and it is not easy to force us away so easily." ”

Lin Youde was worried, "Although Luo Fangbo's subordinates have no standing army, as long as they are men, they can start to fight, I am afraid that there are thousands of people, can Commander Hu handle it?" ”

Hu Fakui patted Lin Youde's thick shoulder and said: "Lin Daban Mo wants to look down on people, just these mud legs, and they are not battle-hardened warriors, as long as they break through a corner, they will inevitably be defeated, and they don't need to care about anything." ”

Lin Youde could only sigh and said: "Everything can only be counted on by Commander Hu." ”

He was also a little depressed, originally he just wanted to come over and contact the Chinese company forces in West Borneo, and make a precursor for the next step for the Tang Republic to expand its interests here. didn't think about it, in addition to Bai Nan, the master who almost wrote "wind and rain" on his face, Hu Fakui was also this kind of guts who broke the sky and took it seriously. Lin Youde is a businessman, who pays attention to harmony and makes money, and he doesn't like to go to extremes. Likes and dilute mud. But when he met Hu Fakui, an uncle, with such a style, he could only stare at him and be frightened.

The size of the Sanfa Pier is not large, and the whole town is not very large. The town was built around the wharf. There are only some buildings, but there are dense jungles around, some of which block the view, if possible, Hu Fakui naturally wants to make the forest less and less troublesome, but after all, this is a tropical rainforest, not so easy to burn.

Although the operational environment is unfavorable. However, the people of the Lanfang Company were indeed not very powerful warriors or military strategists, and they did not think of cutting off the back route of the incense thieves' boats in the lower reaches of the river, nor did they take advantage of the terrain obscured by the rainforest to launch a surprise attack. On the contrary, people gathered from all directions.

Of course, this is not a particularly bad note, at least when there are many people, it will create a sense of fear that the enemy has been surrounded.

Lanfang Company has certain characteristics of an underworld organization. Each leader has a fixed Biao brother under it. Although the leaders and leaders all obeyed the dispatch of Tai Ge Luo Fangbo, they only went their own way after receiving orders, and they did not cooperate with each other, and there may still be a competitive relationship.

Each leader rushed with a ticket of men armed with a variety of weapons, one or two arquebuses and flintlock pistols were rare, those who could be equipped with swords and spears were considered elite, and many more used clubs and even farm tools. This is the area of West Borneo that did not burn bricks. Otherwise, it is estimated that many people will come with bricks.

Hu Fakui has been trained to lead troops since he was a child, and when he was in Los Angeles, he also studied a lot of modern military theories and tactics. He had long expected Lanfang's counterattack. On the banks of the wharf river, he built fortifications with improvised materials, and ordered pirates with muskets to hide in the fortifications and shoot.

What made Hu Fakui somewhat dissatisfied was that although the group of pirates under his command were all fierce combat forces, they really didn't have much ability in archery, they had fewer opportunities to use muskets, and they had a short time to equip them, so their lethality was more than a step worse than that of the Tang army equipped with the same weapons.

However, Hu Fakui firmly believes that a good general can win a battle with bad soldiers.

"The guns on the ship, give me a flat shot, just hit the right one." Hu Fakui himself was on the dock under the ship, directing the pirates to fight, and there were other pirates on board, Hu Fakui ordered someone to send an order to the gunners who operated the guns on the ship. These smoothbore guns had limited range, limited accuracy, and limited gunner ability, so Hu Fakui's positioning of these guns was very clear -- frightening.

The gunners themselves did not memorize the combat manual, so they fired their guns by luck, the cannons were relatively high on the ship, and only the muzzles of the guns were flat, and the method of flat fire of the cannon was adopted, but the muzzles of the guns were generally pointed at the enemy, and it was another matter to shoot far and close. Anyway, the pirate gunners generally know that they need to shoot far and release more propellants, and they don't know how many they have, so let's try it.

Nevertheless, the gunners were the first to make a contribution. The Lanfang armed forces, who have no formal combat experience, can't talk about any formation at all, it's just a large area of uproar, and the gunners don't have to care, they shoot at the densest place in the crowd, and see if luck can always hurt some people.

In other words, Hu Fakui is not an army, so there are not many flowering bombs on the ship, most of them are solid bullets, and there are a few grape bombs. Solid bullets are naturally not particularly powerful in hitting the living force, but what Hu Fakui is counting on is not the lethality of the cannon, but the sound of the cannon!

The cannon roared, the light and flames were everywhere, which directly deterred the Lanfang armed forces, many people obviously hesitated when they rushed, and the falling shells smashed into the crowd, it is impossible to take away a large area like a grenade of modern artillery, in fact, the killing and injury of solid shells largely depends on hitting, and if the shells fired out are lucky, they can hit several people with one shot, and being directly hit by the shells is naturally a death, even if it is a cannonball, it is also a broken arm and leg, and the blood is abnormal.

Hu Fakui didn't have much compatriot consciousness in his mind, he helped Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di father and son at home, and he didn't know how many enemy troops and rebels who were also Han people were slaughtered, for Hu Fakui, as long as he stood opposite him, he was an enemy and didn't need any mercy.

A small number of grape bombs were hit, and the effect was even more amazing. Grapeball is a type of bullet used in the navy to bundle loose bombs into a bunch with a net bag, much like a bunch of grapes, hence the name. It doesn't have the same range as solid bullets, but a single shot fired at close range can knock out dozens of enemy soldiers in an instant, enough to break up an infantry squadron. Because the shelling distance of the pirate ship was not close, so the grapes were ejected in all directions, although the projectile was small, but it caused a certain amount of surface damage, almost under one shot, dozens of Lan Fang armed forces fell, maybe not killed, but definitely uncomfortable.

At the beginning of the shelling, although several shells did not hit, they managed to inflict some damage on the enemy. And indeed as Hu Fakui expected, the sound and light of the cannon immediately frightened many Lanfang people, and a group of Lanfang people had already dropped their weapons and fled in all directions, some leaders tried to restrain their men, but they were not real military organizations after all, and they did not have too strong organizational power, so they could not stop the rout of the soldiers at all. There were even some leaders who were even more discouraged and took the lead in fleeing.

Not everyone fled, and a group of Lan Fang armed forces were rushing forward, so some people fled and some charged on the battlefield, which was chaotic, completely turning Lan Fang's offensive into a joke.

Lin Youde, who was watching the battle on the big ship, didn't expect that just a dozen cannons had already made Lan Fang's armed forces look like this. However, when you think about it, this does not seem to be particularly surprising, and it is really strange if a civilian armed force is disciplined and fearless of death.

The musket pirates in the fortifications received Hu Fakui's order to shoot at the Lanfang people who were still charging, and the SC-2 rifle was the first time to participate in the actual battle. The rifled gun, which was not too short in range, brought down a piece of Lanfang in a cloud of white smoke, and Hu Fakui was a qualified military commander, and although he set up improvised fortifications with little defensive power, they were staggered and alternated, and the position was just right for the musket pirates to fire better. Of course, this is what Hu Fakui learned from the military writings of modern people, and he also tried it out today, and he found it easy to use.

More than 200 muskets caused more casualties in one round of fire than the shelling just now, and the Lanfang armed forces attacked this time, with only more than 2,000 people, which was almost the limit of Luo Fangbo's ability to mobilize troops. After all, everyone goes abroad to beg for a living, not to fight bravely, and most people are unwilling to take up arms to fight. These companies are fighting around, and ordinary immigrants only need to see who wins in the end and follow whom, and the big fists can protect them, but it is still a little difficult for them to fight on their own.

Most of the musket pirates only fired three shots, and the Lan Fang forces had already retreated, and they couldn't accept that those who rushed in front were planted together, and then those who rushed behind were planted in the sound of gunfire, which was beyond their ability to accept. In the past, when fighting with other companies, or fighting with natives and pirates, everyone would shout a few times with knives and guns, and then fight indiscriminately for a while, and some people could not hold on and lost, and the casualties were not large.

For example, in last year's battle of the Heaven and Earth Society, 500 people were killed and injured in the Heaven and Earth Society, but in fact, only a small number of them died, and most of them were injured. However, when civilian armed forces, which mainly rely on cold weapons, encounter a large number of firearms kills and injuries, it is difficult to maintain their morale and fighting spirit. Their collapse is also well deserved.

Seeing that no one was rushing anymore, Hu Fakui laughed, loaded the bayonet in his hand into a rifle, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me, capture that Luo Fangbo alive and enter Dongwanlu!" ”

This group of pirates are very restless guys, and they have seen blood at sea, and this is the first time they have fought a battle of this scale on land, and they are also excited to see the enemy being beaten to pieces, Hu Fakui rushed out of the fortifications with his rifle, and the pirates also rushed out one after another with this commander, and pursued the defeated enemy.

Lin Youde on the boat saw this scene and really couldn't accept it: "Did you win the battle like this?" But what should we do after winning the war, our Datang does not have the ability and preparation to directly take over West Borneo now. (To be continued.) )
