Chapter 192: Shelling
Gu Rong's ferocity deterred the panicked pirates, and after they calmed down, they found that there were only more than 200 officers and soldiers outside the village, less than half of their own, which made the pirates who were still panicking just now very ashamed.

"Big boss, let's kill it, destroy this group of sons of bitches, and avenge the dead brothers at sea!" The pirate leader Liu Laosan shouted.
"Yes, kill and avenge your dead brother!" The other pirates shouted in a panic.
Listening to the shouts of the pirates, Gu Rong felt that his head was hot, and he was about to order everyone to rush out, but the last bit of reason in his mind made him stop. The number of officers and soldiers is far less than their own, but how dare they attack the cottage with such a small number of people? The officers and soldiers are not fools, there must be a conspiracy among them!
Gu Rong's face changed, and he couldn't make a decision for a long time.
"Big boss, what are you waiting for? Let's get out! Liu Laosan shouted eagerly.
Gu Rong glared at Liu Laosan viciously, lowered his head and pondered. Seeing Gu Rong's contemplative appearance, the voices of the other pirates also became quieter. Among the pirates of Sijiao Mountain, Gu Rong has absolute authority, and no one dares to disobey his orders.
Just as Gu Rong was pondering, another round of artillery fired, and two shells smashed the wooden wall, and the broken wood fell to the ground and splashed dust.
"Retreat into the village, transfer the old and weak, prepare weapons, and wait for them to attack the village and fight!" Gu Rong said coldly.
"Ahh The other pirates were stunned, the enemy had already killed in front of the walled gate, but they still shrank into the walled and did not dare to fight? Why are the big bosses so cowardly?
"What are you stunned about? Don't go yet! Gu Rong's eyes kicked, and the pirates suddenly scattered.
Hmph, the officers and soldiers on the other side, although I don't know where the elite of the officers and soldiers are, you have a large number of cannons, and there will definitely be a lot of muskets, your array is so neat, I can't compare to you in the battle formation, then let's have a chaotic battle, there are many houses in this cottage, the terrain is complicated, I see how your battle formation is still displayed? My men are more than twice as large as yours, and the terrain is very familiar, as long as you dare to attack the village, I will let you have no return!
Looking at the officials and soldiers opposite from the gap in the wall, Gu Rong thought viciously, turned around and walked towards the village.
The artillery has been bombarded several rounds, the gate on the opposite side has completely collapsed, and the wall has also blasted out a lot of gaps, and there are still pirates shouting angrily in the wall at the beginning, but now the village is quiet, not to mention that there are pirates killed, and there is no sound at all.
Before the battle, Ren Siqi and Jin Yufei looked at each other speechlessly, not understanding what was going on at all?
"Did the pirates flee?" Jin Yufei muttered to himself.
"Impossible, there are nearly a thousand pirates and their families living in this cottage, there are thousands of them, how can they escape in a hurry?" Ren Siqi said categorically.
"What's there to think about, if they don't come out, we'll kill them!" On Ren Siqi's side, Huang Fengwu shouted in a coquettish voice.
Ren Siqi and Jin Yufei glanced at each other, and that's all. In the original plan, it was to defeat the pirates with more than 200 infantry troops, and then take advantage of the situation to rush into the village. Because the number of their own side is far less than that of pirates, in the eyes of Ren Siqi and others, pirates will definitely not let go of the opportunity to defeat the official army, and will definitely come out of the village. After more than half a year of training, the two teams of the Daishan Army have been trained very skillfully, and the coordination of muskets and spears is also very tacit. No matter how fierce the pirates are, after all, they are a rabble, and they are completely inadequate in front of well-trained officers and soldiers.
But I didn't expect this group of pirates to be captured in this way, and they would rather be bombarded by shells than come out to fight. But if you want to be a turtle, I'm not as good as you would like!
"A team stepped forward to occupy the gate and clear the nearby enemy." Ren Siqi took back the command from Jin Yufei and gave an order in a deep voice.
Jin Yufei quickly moved forward with his subordinates, and cautiously entered the gate of the village, one hundred and twenty soldiers lined up in three rows, musketeers in front and pikemen in the back, carefully guarding the village.
Seeing that Jin Yufei occupied the Zhaimen, Ren Siqi ordered the second team and the two artillery pieces to move forward and came to the Zhaimen together.
Standing at the gate of the wall, on a section of the wall that has not been blown down, Ren Siqi looked towards the wall, from the gate of the village is a street, and at the end of the street is a tall house, which should be Gu Rong's residence. There are hundreds of houses of all kinds on both sides of the street, most of which are wooden houses, and a few are blue brick houses, green bricks and green tiles, and eaves attics. However, with hundreds of houses and countless alleys, I am afraid that my more than 200 soldiers will not even make a splash when they throw themselves into it.
"This, this, this!" Jin Yufei looked at the situation in the village, and only felt that his scalp was numb, and more than 500 pirates were hidden in the village, how to clean it up!
"Capture the thief and capture the king, let's go down the street to attack the largest house, it must be Gu Rong's lair." Huang Fengwu took a closer look and put forward his own suggestions.
"Don't bother, since they're hiding like rats, let's blast them out!" Ren Siqi said, and immediately passed down the order, ordering the two artillery pieces to bombard freely.
The "boom" cannon sound sounded again, and the first target of the gunners was the largest house at the end of the street, that is, Gu Rong's Justice Hall.
Two shells flew out of the chamber and blasted towards the Gathering Hall. A shell missed, hitting a nearby bamboo building, and the screams of a woman and the cry of a child were heard inside. Another shell hit the Hall of Justice and was smashing into the roof of the hall, where a hole was smashed into the green tile roof, and the broken tiles and dirt fell into the hall with a clatter.
Gu Rong looked up at the big hole in the roof, and his face was so ugly that he could wring out water.
"Big brother, you can't stay here, let's hide." Liu Laosan on the side was startled, the cannonball fell from the roof and landed beside him, if it was a little more biased, it would just hit the top of his head.
Gu Rong just hesitated for a while, another round of shells flew over, this time the attack was exceptionally accurate, both shells hit the roof, and then two big holes appeared in the roof, one cannonball fell from the hole and hit a pirate, the pirate lay on the ground without saying a word, the red blood flowed all over the ground, and the other cannonball fell from Gu Rong's eyes, smashing a hole on the ground in front of the chair where he was sitting.
This hall of righteousness was really dangerous, and before Gu Rong could give an order, the other pirates fled outside in a hurry.
The "booming" cannon sound rang out one after another, never stopping, and in the time of two incense sticks, the roof of the Juyi Hall had been smashed into thousands of holes. So the artillery shifted its target and began to bombard other houses in the village, and screams and cries rang out one after another in the village. (To be continued.) )
