A cauldron was erected under the wall, ignited the firewood below, some cauldrons were thrown into the waste oil scraped from the slipway, the shipyard now built several slipways on the slipway, for the use of the ship on and off the slipway, in order to reduce the friction between the slipway and the hull, each time a lot of blubber will be smeared on the slipway, after use, the people of the shipyard are reluctant to waste these waste oil, so they scrape it up and put it in the barrel to continue to use next time.

Now all this waste oil has been transported, and some whale oil has been brought from the warehouse and added to the cauldron, heated by fire, and carried up the wall with a large barrel when needed, and poured down with a head and face, burning the enemies who have attacked under the wall, and if necessary, it can also be ignited to create a fire barrier to prevent the enemy from approaching the wall.

But after all, the value of oil is too high, and even if you have money, you can't stand such a toss, so more cauldrons are filled with seawater, and after boiling, you can also pour it down to burn people, but you can't light it anymore.

In short, in order to ensure the safety of Dazhai this time, Yu Xiaotian brainstormed and made quite full preparations in Dazhai in advance, and basically used all the things that could be thought of and had the conditions to get out.

For these preparations of the sea wolf, Chu Cai Lao can be said to be basically ignorant, continue to use his old experience to do things, he has always led his subordinates to attack the city and plunder the wall, they are unexpectedly attacked, very few people predict their arrival in advance, so under normal circumstances, the walled fort they attack is not fully prepared, and they can often be easily broken.

But today they met an opponent they had never met before, and the sea wolf had already sharpened their knives and waited for them to come, and they had made all the preparations they could in advance, and this time they could be regarded as experiencing what it means to experience what is called a difficult bone.

Chu Cailao observed the two villages of the sea wolf, relatively speaking, the area of the village in the business area is much smaller than that of the big village, and the wall is not as strong as the big village, but Chu Cai Lao did not look at the village in this business area, because in his understanding, although there are many businesses in the business area, but at this time, from the information he obtained, the merchants in the business area have already gone by this time, and the valuable goods have been transferred in advance, so although the business area cannot be said to have no oil and water, but it is sure that the oil and water are not big enough.

And what he is most concerned about now is the matter of the sea wolf's own cannon, according to his understanding, the sea wolf's cannon should be in the north of Dazhai, and the sea wolf Dazhai is one, in addition, the sea wolf village must have other oil and water is also very large, as long as the sea wolf Dazhai is taken, the so-called business area is actually equivalent to losing support, even if you don't send people to attack, the sea wolf people guarding inside will collapse immediately.

Therefore, after thinking about it again, he decided to give up attacking the Shangzhan area and go all out to take down the sea wolf's Dazhai first, so he left a small number of people to keep an eye on the business area, and the rest of the troops were all invested in the direction of the sea wolf's Dazhai.

Under the command of Chu Cailao, a large group of troops began to carry their various weapons and siege equipment, moved southward, bypassed the merchant area, and began to reassemble in the southeast of Dazhai in the wolf's den.

With Chu Cailao's order, nearly two thousand of Chu Cailao's subordinates suddenly let out an earth-shaking roar, and more than a dozen groups of people immediately howled loudly, cheering for themselves, while lifting those temporary patchwork shields and long ladders, rushing towards the sea wolf Dazhai like a tide.

A group of minions raised the big shield made of logs with thick arms, lowered their figures, and moved forward vigorously, and more of Chu Cai's old subordinates howled while holding the weapons in their hands or carrying the clumsy long ladder, hiding behind these big shields, like a group of snails, squirming outside the village, slowly advancing towards the sea wolf village.

Behind the big shield are the firecrackers and crossbowmen they have gathered, and these people are ordered to rely on the big shields in front of them to reach the outside of the sea wolf village, and use these simple weapons in their hands to suppress the sea wolf tribes on the wall, and support other minions to attack the wall and seize the village.

Meng Fei got up early in the morning, and with his subordinates ready to fight with Chu Cai's boss, he pondered that Chu Cailao was tossed by him last night, and he should have been so angry that he would definitely send someone to retaliate against him early in the morning, so when he got up early in the morning, he beckoned his subordinates in the business area to make all kinds of preparations for battle.

But when he saw Chu Cailao and his people bypassing the business area and focusing all the targets on Dazhai, Meng Fei's nose was crooked by Chu Cai's old anger this time, and he stood on the wall of the village and jumped to his feet and scolded Chu Cailao's subordinates in the distance, almost scolding all the vicious words he could think of, but he couldn't recruit Chu Cailao's subordinates.

When he saw that Chu Cailao's subordinates began to bypass the business area in groups, forcing towards Dazhai, ignoring their business area, leaving only a small number of minions to spread out and monitor the business area, Meng Fei had no choice.

So he beckoned his men to come over, observed the distance of Chu Cailao's men closest to them, and determined that the guys were just at the edge of the effective range of the two six-pounder guns on their side, but they were still within the farthest range of their six-pounder guns, so this guy stopped jumping and scolding, and immediately ordered the gunners of the two six-pounder guns to start loading and aiming, and aimed at Chu Cailao's men who were trying to brush them by.

This was not enough, Meng Fei ordered to bring over the two six-pounder cannons from other places and set them up on the wall of the village to fight together, striving to provoke Chu Cailao, so that Chu Cailao could divide his troops to deal with their merchant area and reduce the pressure on the Dazhai side.

At this point, Meng Fei can indeed be regarded as a conscientious person, not afraid of war or cowardly, always taking the initiative to find a way to fight, Yu Xiaotian had an order to let him not lead his troops to attack without authorization, so he used this method to take the initiative to seek war.

Without waiting for Chu Cailao's men to approach Dazhai, the fort on the other side of the Shangzhan area began to take the lead in fighting, and the two six-pounder guns fired alternately, and the crowd of Chu Cailao's men was hit with solid bullets.

The effective range of the six-pounder cannon is roughly about 400 meters, and the accuracy within 400 meters can basically be guaranteed, and it will not be too far behind, but after more than 400 meters, the accuracy is more problematic, Chu Cailao's men are just 400 meters away, so after the shells fly over, they often hit low or high, and deviate from the target more, and the threat to Chu Cailao's men is not very great.

But after a few shots, the gunner still found some sense, and a cannonball still landed unexpectedly accurately in a group of Chu Cai's old men.

Solid shells are not as good as the explosive grenades of later generations, grenades rely on shrapnel and shock waves to kill and injure the enemy, but solid shells can only rely on the kinetic energy of the shells to kill the enemy, and direct collision with the enemy can cause effective damage, but the shells of this era are all round shapes because they are smoothbore guns, and after the shells land, they are often bounced up by the ground after hitting the ground and continue to fly forward, which is also the so-called ricochet effect. Unless it's a strong enough obstacle to stop it.

But the human body is too fragile for a shell weighing nearly five catties, after this cannonball fell in the crowd of Chu Cai's old people, it immediately bounced up and continued to fly forward, just smashed a stone on the ground, two Chu Cai's old subordinates who blocked the advance of the cannonball, one was cut off a thigh on the spot, and the other was torn into two pieces by the waist.

The guy whose thigh was broken fell to the ground only to find that he was missing a leg, and a large amount of blood was spurting out from the broken leg, so he hugged the broken leg and rolled on the ground and howled, shouting: "Help! Help me! Save ......"

However, his screams did not attract the attention of more people, and those accomplices were so nervous that no one looked down at him at all, stepped over his body, and continued to walk in the direction of Dazhai.

As for the guy who was cut off by the cannonball, his life was better, although he died a miserable death, and his intestines and stomach organs flew everywhere, but after his upper body landed, he only had a few convulsions, and then he hiccups on the spot.

However, what is surprising is that the lethal effect caused by this cannonball is not only that, Chu Cailao asked his subordinates to bypass from the south of the business area, but the ground in this area is mostly composed of rocks, there is no sand on the ground, it is very hard, after the cannonball falls on this stone slab, the ricochet effect is very good, it can continue to bounce many times and continue to fly far away, not to mention, after the cannonball landed, it also stirred up a lot of gravel on the ground, and these gravel flew out of the ground in all directions, and actually produced the effect of scattered bombs.

Under the flying rubble, a few unlucky minions were hit on the spot, either a piece of flesh was cut off, or the gravel was embedded into the body, although they could not kill them on the spot, but they also fell to the point where the ghost cried wolf and screamed.

Seeing that several unlucky accomplices were knocked down, the rest of the minions were suddenly frightened, and they began to mess up at once, scattering and avoiding, for fear that if there was another cannonball, it would be their turn to be unlucky next.

"Okay! Ha Lu Ha! Just hit it like that! Bomb Lao Tzu to death more! Grandma's surname Chu actually turned a blind eye to us, so fucking he didn't take us seriously, and beat Lao Tzu so hard that his mother couldn't recognize them! Meng Fei copied a telescope to observe the effect of the shelling, and when he saw that the shelling had an effect, he grinned behind his ears and cheered continuously.
