Chapter 220: Threat

But what made Chu Cailao even more angry was that just when he gathered the defeated soldiers and killed a hundred people to rectify his subordinates, the door of the sea wolf village quietly opened at some point.

A group of sea wolves flocked out of Dazhai and rushed to the battlefield, they did not catch those injured Chu Cai's old men, like a group of people picking up rags, quickly packed up all kinds of loot on the battlefield, and the slightly better knives and guns were immediately picked up by them, and quickly bundled with ropes, and then carried them up and ran back to Dazhai.

Moreover, the miscellaneous cannons that were thrown on the battlefield by Chu Cai's old men were also lifted by them at a very fast speed and moved back to Dazhai.

There are even some people who carry some cans out of the stockade, picking some long ladders and other things abandoned by Chu Cai's old men to splash the things in the cans, and then some people follow them with torches to light fires everywhere, it turns out that they are carrying some hot oil, specially out to burn the long ladder under Chu Cai's old men.

There will be a few screams from time to time on the entire battlefield, it is the idle sea wolf people who have nothing to do are sending some seriously injured old Chu Cai men on the road.

Some of the sea wolves didn't find much to look at after they came out, so they cut off the heads of a few of Chu Cai's old men, and slipped back to the village, and soon a long pole was erected on the wall, and there were bloody human heads on the long pole.

This is not the most annoying, what is even more annoying is that after these sea wolf tribes cleaned up the battlefield, they actually stood on the wall of the wall and shouted in unison: "Thank you Chu Da Shopkeeper for the gift!" ”

When the voice reached Chu Cailao's ears, Chu Cailao's nose was really crooked to the side, this is simply Chiguoguo's provocation, don't take such a bully!

So Chu Cai Lao didn't wait any longer, pulled out his waist knife and pointed at the sea wolf Dazhai and shouted: "Brothers, kill them all for Lao Tzu, all the sea wolf tribes, kill one and reward ten taels of silver!" ……”

Hearing Chu Cailao's roar, those minions who were already a little depressed suddenly became excited again, and they shouted loudly again, and under the greeting of their shopkeeper, they rushed forward again.

And Chu Cailao's movements all fell in the eyes of Yu Xiaotian and the others, and when he saw these two Hongyi cannons that were slowly pushed in the direction of their Dazhai, Yu Xiaotian's face became solemn.

This was the second time he had seen the Hongyi cannons in this world, and from the telescope, he observed that these two cannons were indeed not small, at least larger than the twelve-pounder cannon in his hand, but not as large as a twenty-four-pounder cannon, and finally he judged them to be eighteen-pounderers.

And the eighteen-pounder gun In this era, if Yu Xiaotian is not mistaken, it should be one of the main naval guns of the British, which is considered a kind of heavy artillery, between the twenty-four-pounder gun and the twelve-pounder gun, and the power is considerable.

Another point Yu Xiaotian also vaguely remembered that some sources said that in this era, in fact, the British had also come to the coastal areas of China, and they also saw the benefits of trade with the Ming Dynasty, and once like the Dutch, they also wanted to find a foothold similar to Macau or Manila near China, but they never succeeded, but they only established commercial halls in India and Batavia, and traded with Chinese maritime merchants through commercial halls, and got a share of the pie.

He couldn't guess where Chu Cailao got these two Hongyi cannons, these two cannons should obviously not be cast by the Ming Dynasty government or imperial court, so Chu Cailao is very likely to get this kind of cannon from the Portuguese or the Spaniards.

Originally, Yu Xiaotian wanted to look more carefully, but the monocular he had on hand at hand could only see a rough idea because of the quality of the lens and the relatively small multiple, but he couldn't see it more clearly, so he couldn't judge whether the two guns belonged to long guns or short guns, and the specific effective range naturally couldn't be judged.

In addition, he also saw a lot of boxes that Chu Cailao had brought ashore, and after a closer look, he found that these boxes should be a swarm of bee rockets, and he was even more chuckled in his heart.

He wasn't too worried about these swarm rockets, although the range of this thing was not short, and the power of the salvo was quite large, but the lethality of this thing against exposed group targets was good, but it was not very threatening to deal with a large village like them and the personnel hiding behind the wall.

But Chu Cailao's two Hongyi cannons undoubtedly pose a great threat to his Dazhai, this eighteen-pound Hongyi cannon alone has a projectile weight of more than a dozen catties, and the amount of charge in the barrel can reach five to six catties at a time, and the power is already quite terrifying in this era.

Even if the city wall is bombarded by this kind of cannon in a row, it is a little impossible to withstand the bombardment of this kind of cannon, not to mention the walled wall of the mixed brick and wood structure he is currently in, his walled wall is far less solid than the rammed earth wall.

This time things are obviously a little troublesome, and Chu Cai's old subordinates will definitely grow wiser after eating a trench just now, and they will definitely find a way to break through the obstacles he set up outside the village and approach under the wall.

The next battle in the afternoon is expected to be much more tense than in the morning.

Yu Xiaotian turned around and walked down the arrow tower, beckoned Li Dazui, Liu Laoliu and others over, and whispered to them.

Originally, the villagers who were idle in the village were mobilized at this time, and the council hall allocated a lot of cloth bags and straw bags from the treasury and distributed them to these villagers, and soon someone took these villagers and began to take soil on the spot in some places inside the village, and began to load them into these cloth bags or straw bags, and carried them to the bottom of the wall on their shoulders, and stacked them in several places for use at any time.

Without waiting for the sea wolves in the stockade to finish their work, a huge roar sounded outside the stockade, and then a cannonball whistled over the wall of the village, flew straight into the village, and smashed heavily on the roof of a house.

The roof of the house collapsed in an instant, kicking up a cloud of dust, and the screams and cries of a mother and son were heard from inside the house, and someone immediately rushed towards the collapsed house and began to pick up the bricks and tiles to save people.

Yu Xiaotian scolded secretly, turned around, and quickly ran back to the watchtower, raising his eyes to look outside the village.

At this time, Chu Cailao's two Hongyi cannons had been dragged by them to a place about a mile and a half away from the Seawolf Village, and they were erected and raised their muzzles to aim at the Seawolf Village.

There were more than two dozen minions around each cannon, and one cannon was shrouded in smoke, and it was obvious that the shell just now came from the muzzle of this cannon.

Seeing Chu Cailao move out of such two big killing weapons, the people in the village suddenly panicked, especially after seeing the power of the cannon, everyone's nerves tensed, and even some people have begun to run around the village, trying to find a place to hide.

"I have ordered that no one in the village should move around without permission, and that they must stay where they are without permission! Those who trespass will be tied up first, and those who do not obey the transfer can be executed on the spot! "Yu Xiaotian is most afraid of chaos in the village, now there are a large number of islanders in the village, these people have no organizational discipline, once the chaos is up, the village will become a pot of porridge, it will be difficult to stabilize it at that time, and it may cause a catastrophe if you are not careful.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian immediately issued an order, and the security of the village was specifically responsible for the torture hall, and Liu Laoliu did not dare to hold it up after receiving the order, so he hurriedly sent someone down to pass the order.

A team of inspectors of the torture hall immediately rushed along the streets of Dazhai to the gathering points of the islanders, each of them carried a short stick with eyebrows in their hands, and on the way they encountered some people scurrying in the village to go up to a stick, and then tied their hands and rushed back to the place where they had gathered.

Some of them refused to go back after being beaten with sticks, and then continued to ram into the village, only to be slashed to the ground by the inspectors, and their bodies dragged back to the place where they had gathered.

Immediately after these inspections rushed to the various gathering points, the loud orders of Jiang Xiaotian were passed on to these islanders, telling them to cooperate with the control of the sea wolf tribes, and not to make any trespassing, otherwise they would not be spared.

Seeing that someone had been killed because of this, these islanders immediately became honest, and one by one they showed a frightened look, squatting in the gathering point and no longer daring to move, some of them were so frightened that they cried, and the family hugged each other and cried as if the sky was about to collapse.

The village was suddenly filled with all kinds of chaotic sounds, but as long as these islanders did not run around, the situation was easy to control, and soon the chaotic Dazhai once again restored order.

At this time, there was a roar outside the village again, and then another cannonball smashed into the village, but this time the cannonball fell on the street, smashed a big pit in the street, and flew around at any time.

Yu Xiaotian nervously observed the flight trajectory of this cannonball, and immediately roughly judged the performance of these two cannons.

The effective range of these two eighteen-pounder guns was about one kilometer, but it was obvious that Chu Cailao's subordinates did not thoroughly grasp the performance of this kind of cannon, and the first round of firing raised the muzzle too high, so that they failed to hit the wall of Dazhai, and flew directly into Dazhai.

Moreover, Chu Cailao's subordinates definitely did not use the fixed charge pack, and reloaded it completely based on experience, so that although their guns were not small, the accuracy could not be guaranteed.

The reason why Chu Cailao's subordinates put the cannon at such a distance and began to fire the cannon, instead of approaching Dazhai for shelling, must have been afraid of being accurately returned by the sea wolf's cannon, which also led to their inability to accurately hit the wall of the village at this distance.

Yu Xiaotian despised Chu Cailao in his heart, and immediately sent an order, ordering Li Dazui to send someone to transport a twelve-pounder cannon from Chen Bu, the northern fort of Dazhai to the southeast fort of the village, at such a distance, although the six-pounder cannon was hoisted at a large angle, the cannonball could also hit the position of Chu Cailao's cannon, but the accuracy could not be guaranteed at all, even if it was a twelve-pounder short cannon, at this distance, it could not be accurate.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to make the cannon a twelve-pounder cannon, which is the so-called cannon, this guy's range can easily reach Chu Cailao's cannon, and it can be relatively accurate, and only this guy can suppress Chu Cailao's two Hongyi cannons.

Li Dazui also realized the seriousness of the problem at this time, and as soon as Yu Xiaotian's order was issued, he sent his men to gallop to the northeast corner of Dazhai's fort.

At this time, Chu Cailao's subordinates had already begun to rush towards the sea wolf village again with the help of the two Hongyi cannons. ‘
