Chapter 218: Chu Cailao's Treasure of the Town

Although Yu Xiaotian has not given any orders since the start of the war, he has always stood upright on the top of the arrow tower, standing still like a statue.

And his presence does bring a sense of security to his subordinates, these subordinates have always been accustomed to his presence, as long as they see his figure, these subordinates will feel a kind of comfort, although Yu Xiaotian did nothing, but told these sea wolf tribesmen that he was with them, right by their side.

With such a person standing with them, what is there to be afraid of?

Also outside the village, Chu Cailao also stood far away from the village, looking in the direction of the village, and slowly paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, the green tendons on his head jumped suddenly, like a trapped beast, his face was full of anxiety.

From the time he gave the order to start attacking the fortress, more than half an hour had passed, and the sound of the sea wolf's cannon had not stopped since the beginning, and from time to time the battlefield outside the fortress could be seen flying dust, and the smoke of gunpowder could be seen everywhere, and his men rushed up in waves, but they were like the tide beating on the reef, scattering into red waves.

Things were obviously much more difficult than he thought, and he could see that his men had done their best today, but they had run into a very difficult bone.

The preparation of the sea wolf village is much more adequate than he expected, and the sea wolf's firepower is very sharp, there is no doubt about this, from a distance, you can clearly see the sea wolf Dazhai wall from time to time flashing large and small fires, these fires are the cannon and the gun mouth spewed out of the flames, gunpowder smoke continues to rise from the wall of the big village, permeated the sky above the big village.

And he could also hear the dense sound of guns coming from a distance, although there were many of them with the sound of his men firing, but those dense guns like bursting beans could not have come from his men.

This shows that the sea wolf has a considerable number of "bird guns" in his hands, he was not very interested in this kind of thing before, and he has also played with this thing, I feel that this thing is a kind of goods, although it is not close, but the accuracy is very lacking, and the power is not great, the most important thing is that this thing consumes gunpowder, and it is very troublesome to reload, and it takes half a day to fire again, and it is not even as good as the three-eyed gun.

And this thing often can't be used, it can't be used when it's raining, it can't be used when it's too wet, and it can't be easily used at night, once the enemy gets close, this thing is a burning stick, and whoever holds this thing can only wait to be slaughtered.

So he would rather have a three-eyed gun than more of this thing, in the early years he had dealt with the Franc man, and wanted to buy some cannons from the Franc man, but the Franc man was unwilling to sell him the cannon, but was willing to sell him some of their birds, but Chu Cai refused this kind of business at the beginning, thinking that the bird guns were useless, and there was no bow and crossbow to use.

But today, when he listened to and looked at the rows of bird guns placed on the wall of the Sea Wolf Village, he seemed to feel that he might be wrong, this surnamed Yu should be familiar with firearms, and equipped his subordinates with so many bird guns, this thing should not be as unbearable as he thought, and he kept hearing the screams of his subordinates coming back from front, which also showed that his subordinates were suffering a lot of casualties under the village at this time.

It's a pity that he doesn't have a telescope at hand, so he can effectively observe the situation on the battlefield, and can only vaguely see that the battlefield seems to be very lively.

He saw that his people seemed to be blocked from the wall, and they could not reach the bottom of the wall, and for such a long time, not even a long ladder was erected, which meant that the men in front of him were in trouble.

Chu Cai walked back and forth for a while, suddenly stopped, gritted his teeth and instructed his subordinates: "Bring those two Hongyi cannons up and set them up for Lao Tzu to aim at them!" Let's blast them away! I don't believe it, I can't take this big village! ”

When they landed yesterday afternoon, they tried their best to unload the two Hongyi cannons they were carrying on the big raft to the shore, but this thing was too heavy, each with the gun carriage was more than 2,000 catties, and the gun carriage only had four small wooden wheels, which was very difficult to move.

These two cannons are also Chu Cailao used to spend a lot of money to buy five Hongyi cannons from the Francophone people, has always been regarded by Chu Cailao as the treasure of the town, this time in order to deal with Yu Xiaotian, with the ship brought two, the remaining three two were left on the ship, one left in Dongshan Island Dazhai.

And these two cannons are indeed quite good, they belong to eighteen-pounder guns, the effective range can reach one kilometer, and the longest firing range can even reach four kilometers.

But today Chu Cai Lao in order to take this sea wolf village, had to invite them out, just now when he started to attack the village, he still had a certain illusion, did not want to easily use these two Hongyi cannons, but now when he saw his subordinates outside the sea wolf village was beaten on their backs, seeing that there were signs of rout, he no longer had illusions, and ordered the two cannons to be pushed up, and also joined the ranks of attacking the village.

In addition to these two cannons, Chu Cailao also had some large boxes unloaded from the ship, and let people carry them and send them up, and the discerning people can see at a glance that these big boxes are actually a kind of firearms of the Ming Dynasty in this era, that is, the famous swarm of rockets.

In order to deal with the officers and troops on the shore, or to deal with some Zhuang forts with fierce resistance, Chu Cailao has stored a considerable number of swarm rockets through self-made or purchased means over the years, which is simpler to make than artillery, and consumables are easier to obtain, and the key is that as long as the problem of gunpowder is solved, it can be produced.

Usually Chu Cai is reluctant to take out so many swarms to deal with a Zhuang Bao, often when necessary, get two boxes over, once the launch begins, it can play a very good role in deterring the enemy, but today Chu Cai Lao can't take care of so much, ordered to unload dozens of barrels of such things from the ship, and prepare to send them together, and give the sea wolf people a good look.

But just when Chu Cai was about to take out the powerful guy at the bottom of the box, the battle in front of him had already changed dramatically.

Although Chu Cailao's subordinates were quite heroic just now, but after a period of successive attacks to no avail, on the contrary, after being beaten all over the outside of the wall, these Chu Cailao's subordinates finally couldn't hold on, and saw that the brothers in front of them were knocked to the ground one by one by the sea wolf tribes, but when they were never able to get close to the wall, many minions finally couldn't bear it.

First of all, some minions were scurrying around, holding back, wandering back and forth at a distance of about 100 meters, and they didn't dare to step forward, but they still kept some people knocked to the ground by the sea wolf's stray bullets, so they didn't know who picked the head, these Chu Cailao's subordinates suddenly began to retreat backwards, and those who were mixed with them couldn't stop the shopkeepers, so they had to be dragged back by the crowd.

As the saying goes, defeat is like a mountain, once one side is frustrated and loses its fighting spirit, it is basically impossible to stop their retreat, the more people there are, the more chaotic the situation becomes, today Chu Cai Lao pressed up more than 2,000 people, when they were defeated, it was no longer a person or two people who could stop it.

I saw that the remaining Chu Cailao's subordinates collapsed almost suddenly, first a dozen people turned around and fled, and then led dozens of people to run along, and then developed into hundreds of people who were driven to run together, and finally the remaining minions also lost confidence suddenly, and all of them retreated together.

Don't look at them when they come, but once they run, the legs and feet of these people are not slow at all, and more than 2,000 people retreat like the tide, and after a short time, they ran out of two miles away.

What's even more ridiculous is that when they were defeated, the sea wolf tribes did not go out of the village to launch any pursuit against them, so they retreated like this, but these Chu Cailao's subordinates still ran away one by one in a panic, and some even cared about running for their lives, and even threw the guys in their hands on the battlefield, so they fled back empty-handed.

Looking at the open space outside the sea wolf village, there is a strong smell of blood and a fishy smell at this time, from far to near are the dead and wounded troops under Chu Cai's old men, and complete or broken shields and long ladders are discarded everywhere, and even a few cannons are thrown outside the wall by Chu Cailao's men.

Especially at a distance of about dozens of meters outside the wall, there is a layer of corpses and wounded under Chu Cai's old men, many people can't die for a while after being injured, just lying on the ground whining and wailing, the whole scene of hell.

A few of the wounded were unwilling to die here, and tried their best to crawl behind, leaving traces of blood behind them, and a few lightly injured people saw that their accomplices had fled, and in the hopeless hope of asking for help, they struggled to get up, stumbling on some guns or short knives, supporting their bodies and retreating.

But how could the sea wolf's subordinates let them go away like this, Li Dazui ordered some of his sharpshooters to name these old Chu Cai's old men who were struggling to escape on the battlefield one by one, almost the sound of gunfire, and immediately there were two of Chu Cai's old wounded behind a cloud of blood mist, and they fell to the ground, and after a few struggles, they were silent.

Someone roughly counted the casualties of Chu Cailao's men outside the village, although it was only a rough estimate, but it was still found that after this battle, their sea wolves still killed and injured nearly 200 Chu Cailao's men, and this number could only be higher, not lower.

On the other hand, the losses in the sea wolf village, after counting, the numbers were counted and reported to Yu Xiaotian, Yu Xiaotian learned that after this burst, his men died in a total of only four people, and most of them were killed by the arrows or shotshots fired by Chu Cai's old men.

The wounded were less than 20 people, seven of whom were seriously wounded, and the rest were mostly lightly wounded, and even some people did not even lose their combat effectiveness.

The casualty exchange ratio between the two sides was a full ten to one, and it was not an exaggeration to call it a big victory, when Chu Cailao's men retreated, a thunderous cheer suddenly sounded above and below the wall, and even the sea wolf tribes on the side of the northeast business inn area also cheered loudly together.
