Chapter 216: Into the Village

The topography of Sanyang Village is very distinctive, the foundation of the village is higher than three feet next to it, plus the wall made of bamboo, it is more than four meters high from the ground, and the village is basically a circle, there is a gate facing the beach, and the other one has to bypass a long distance, and it is also condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Although there was black smoke in the current wall, it was quickly buried by the people of the village with water or sand. The Li family uses cold weapons, and occasionally there are a few firearms produced in the Ming Dynasty. After the rocket returned in vain, the Li family now formed a confrontation situation with Sanyang Village.

The Li family was originally less than the pirates, and the strong men of Sanyang Village could only besiege but not attack now, and think of another way.

When Zhu Yuan was still in the team, Yang Xien ran to the Li family's team, and then the Li family retreated three to five hundred meters, leaving the only open space in front of the village to Zhu Yuan and them.

The battlefield suddenly fell silent, and the people of the Li family looked at this strange official army, and many heads popped up on the walls of Sanyang Village to stare at the two sides. The situation was a little weird, under the gaze of the two parties, Zhu Yuan did not move forward quickly and immediately launched an attack, but slowly pressed the team towards Sanyang Village, one was to cause psychological pressure on the people of Sanyang Village, and the other was waiting for the second group of personnel to come up.

The land and water battalion pressed down on the formation a hundred meters in front of the village and set up a formation. Two tiger cannons were placed at the front, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at the wooden gate of the village, which was covered with a layer of iron. The rest of the musketeers stood in three rows next to the two Tiger Cannons and began to reload their ammunition. The oppressive atmosphere did not last long, and the second group of the land and water battalion also caught up. is also in the early 100s, and after joining the formation, it seems that there are many people.

Zhu Houwei was also among the second group of people, seeing this, Zhu Yuan was also big-headed, but fortunately, Zhu Houwei did not ask to go to the front line, but stayed in the middle and back of the team, quietly watching Zhu Yuan command.

Although it took only ten minutes for the second wave of people to come up from the water and land camp, it brought a lot of shock to the people and horses of the other two parties. The musketeers stood straight from beginning to end, standing still and making no small movements, as if they were all stone sculptures. I am afraid that such an army can only exist at the beginning of the dynasty. The tiger squat cannon changed from two to four, and Zhu Yuan roared, "Open the cannon." ”

The cannon's line of fire was ignited, and a few seconds later, there were two "bangs", and the muzzle of the cannon ignited with a burst of white mist. There was an exclamation from Sanyang Village, because two large holes appeared in the gate, each of which could be walked by. This momentum has never been seen by people on both sides, and it is too loud and terrifying. Two more cannons rang out, and a large hole appeared in the gate again, which was connected to the original one, and the closed gate could no longer provide protection. At the same time, there was also a big hole in the wall next to the gate, but fortunately there was no one behind it, so there was no damage.

Before many people could react, Zhu Yuan had already shouted, "Attack." The musketeers held muskets loaded with gunpowder and began to advance towards Sanyang Village in a neat formation.

There is a slope in front of the village gate, which is not spacious, and can only allow five or six people to walk side by side, so the closer you get to the village, the denser the formation of the water and land battalions becomes. At this time, the pirates also reacted, and one of the middle-aged men in his forties shouted, "Hold on, they have firearms, this thing can't be beaten." And the brethren took up their spirits, and won the battle, and each of them was given fifty taels of silver. Kill one and give five taels. ”

Fifty taels is enough for a family of three for five years, and such a heavy reward has greatly boosted morale, and the impact of the cannon just now seems to have weakened a lot. There were suddenly fewer people on the wall, and then they gathered at the open door. Many people know that it is not accurate to fight far away, and it is better to burn a fire stick if it is close. In their opinion, the other side is full of musketeers, which is simply a defeat within a defeat.

The man standing on the wall near the gate saw that the water and land camp was less than fifty meters away from here, so he exposed half of his body, bent his bow and arrows, and prepared to receive five taels of silver. What I didn't expect was that the musketeers were behind the musketeers, and there was no musket shooting up the slope for the time being. There was a chaotic sound of "bang bang bang", and several screams were immediately heard, but the casualties caused were more than that. As long as half of his body is exposed, he has not escaped. At a distance of seventy or eighty meters, the accuracy rate of the water and land battalion is still very high.

However, the people on the wall only showed half of their bodies, and there was no classic scene of falling from the wall, which made Zhu Houwei, who was watching the battle, a little pity. At this time, the pirates and the vanguard of the land and water battalion stared at each other across the gate, and for a moment they were full of passion. One ran briskly with a sword in hand, while the other stood still, emitting a puff of white smoke. The venue was not large, and there were only five or six people running side by side, and at a distance of less than thirty meters, the first row of people fell directly, and the bright red blood began to flow slowly down the slope, bewitching and tragic.

The first platoon of the amphibious battalion immediately squatted down after shooting and began to reload. This is the man in the back platoon who has shot. Before the pirate platoon could step over the corpses of his companions, they also fell one after another, and one of them was mixed by the corpse under his feet when he fell, changed his position, rolled forward a few times, and then stared at the enemy less than ten meters away with round eyes, but unfortunately he could no longer move.

The second platoon began to reload in a half-squat, and the third platoon fired, and the hit rate did not drop, but two people hit the same person, and one of the pirates escaped a section. The pirate didn't run directly, but paused, touched his body, and after feeling that there was nothing unusual, he suddenly felt that he had a miraculous body, and he was lucky, with a hideous expression, he stepped over the corpse of his companion, shouting and killing forward, and at this time, the people in the fourth row fired, and his good luck ended there.

The pirates in front of them began to panic, this fire gun was too accurate, and people were attacking in rows and rows, and the distance of about 20 meters felt like they couldn't run over. So I wanted to go back. It's a pity that the people behind didn't see the terrifying picture of this unilateral massacre with their own eyes, and they were still thinking about getting a high bounty, and they were desperately squeezing forward. At this time, the men in the first platoon, half-crouching, raised the muzzle slightly, and opened fire.

"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly, you can't rush over, the brothers in front are all dead, retreat quickly." The hoarseness was exhausted, and it was also very contagious, which instantly caused the response of his companions and "Hurry back." In the sound of retreat, the people behind were not so impulsive, stopped, and then were squeezed back by the people in front, they could only follow the crowd, their faces forward, their steps backward, and their ears listened to the bursts of gunfire.

The pirates fled not far from the gate, coming and going in a hurry, leaving only dozens of corpses, proving that what had just happened was not a dream, but a cruel reality.

The soldiers of the amphibious battalion did not immediately take a step in pursuit, and under Zhu Yuan's order, they reloaded their ammunition before walking forward among the corpses. The people on the wall and the Li family in the distance were stunned, so they retreated? The bodies of the two sides did not collide violently at all, it was too unexpected. And the man who was the first to shout on the wall was pale at this time, and his face was a little dark, but his body trembled slightly, but he let the subordinates around him see it, which was shocked and angry.

The vanguard of the land and water battalion had already entered the gate, and Zhu Houwei couldn't see the situation behind the wall with a telescope, and could only judge the general situation from the rhythmic gunfire. There are no pirates left on the wall, and it is estimated that they are going down desperately.

Huang Gonggong beside Zhu Houwei suddenly whispered, "Lord Wang, the people of the Li family are here." "Although so far, the two sides are friends rather than enemies, but now Zhu Houwei is only more than 50 people here, so he can't be careless. More than fifty people, under the order of the commander, turned around at the same time, and pointed their guns at the people of the Li family who were slowly approaching. The distance between the two sides is only two hundred meters, and some small movements can be clearly seen, between which Yang Xien stood beside a tall figure, raised his hand backwards, and the Li family's large army immediately stopped, and then said a few words, taking Yang Xien and a slightly shorter man, and slowly walked towards Zhu Houwei's side.
