Chapter 217: Survival of the Fittest
Among the many musketeers and crossbowmen, one of them must be mentioned, that is, Li Er, who was sent to Yu Xiaotian by Fang An and took Yu Xiaotian to Nanri Island to rescue Qian Song and Wang Hong, Li Er himself is a guy who is good at using crossbows, this guy was assigned to the war camp by Yu Xiaotian because of his good archery skills after following Fang An to Yu Xiaotian, giving full play to his strengths.
This guy was appointed as a squad leader because of his great achievements and good archery skills, and after this guy arrived on Nanri Island, he gradually began to touch muskets, but this guy was very stubborn, insisting that muskets were not as accurate and ruthless as his crossbows, and refused to use muskets instead.
During this time, he also made many nonsense that muskets were useless things, and that he did use his crossbow and bow to overcome the challenges of many of his musketeers, and to some extent proved that his crossbow was more accurate than muskets, and that his crossbow could sometimes accurately hit a human body at a distance of eighty paces in range, but the musket sometimes failed to reach his accuracy.
The man was complacent about his victories many times, until the Seawolf began to equip himself with his own flintlock pistols and gradually began to train his own sharpshooters.
And among these sharpshooters, Liu Wang is one, Liu Wang heard that Li Er looked down on them who love to use muskets, so he gave Li Er a war letter and invited Li Er to compete, and the two of them had a special battle in the war camp for this purpose.
The two sides set targets at various distances, including moving targets for competition, Li Er held a crossbow, Liu Wang used a flintlock pistol, and after a competition, Liu Wang finally defeated Li Er.
Li Er was very dissatisfied at first, but then two more subordinates challenged him and won two games against him again, at this time Li Er realized that a good musket was indeed more powerful than his crossbow, and later began to gradually accept the musket, but this guy was used to using a crossbow, and how to use the musket was not smooth, so he only brought a short gun with him later, and usually used his hard gun.
Li Er is also here today, with a team of musketeers, and he himself still holds his precious hard sword, and there is a bunch of his special crossbow arrows around him, only to see him half-squatting behind the battlement wall, from time to time he raises his arm to hold up the crossbow arm and aim, and shoots a crossbow arrow with a click.
Then he unhurriedly used a piece of lime to draw a line on the wall of the wall beside him, and began to open the string again, and began to aim again......
"Brothers, Lao Tzu has already shot the! Don't you fucking say that Lao Tzu's crossbow is not as good as yours? Let's try it all today, see who the fuck shoots to death, don't fucking look down on our crossbow! Aim to hit Lao Tzu! ”
After Li Er once again let go of an old subordinate of Chu Cai outside the wall, he turned his head and shouted triumphantly to his subordinates.
The musketeers under him hurriedly agreed, and one by one they showed a look of eagerness to try, and even more carefully aimed.
Chu Cailao's subordinates were very miserable at this time, and within dozens of meters in front of the wall, it almost became their place of death, and the brothers who rushed into this area in waves were constantly killed on the spot by the bullets and bows and arrows shot from the wall.
Soon a layer of dead and wounded people was laid in some places, and blood began to collect on the ground, especially the fence that blocked them, and it became their life and death, and many minions rushed here with long ladders, and they were blocked here, and became the live targets of the sea wolf tribes on the wall, even if they hid behind the fence, they could not stop their figures, and people kept trying to climb over the fence, and then they were knocked over in front of and behind the fence.
Soon there were a large number of corpses lying at the fence, the blood almost stained the fence red, and the viscous blood flowed down the fence, and soaked into the earth, some of them were wounded but not dead, lying under the fence, howling in pain, or desperately begging for help, someone could pull them and save them.
But at this time, where does anyone care about them, under the supervision of Chu Cailao, a large number of minions are still rushing forward one after another, and they are overturned here.
Some people tried to get around the fences that lay in front of them, but the sea wolves' preset fences were poorly constructed, and between the fences were mostly sandy ground, which was sprinkled with thistles, bamboo sticks, and even broken glass.
Tribulus terrestris is more troublesome to make, and bamboo sticks are simpler, but after all, these things still consume a lot of labor and materials, so Yu Xiaotian simply asked his men to go to the glass field, and smashed and pulled a lot of scrapped glassware hoarded in the glass field and scattered them in these places.
In the past, most of these scrapped glassware had to be re-entered into the crucible to melt and then produced, and they were usually reluctant to discard them, but now in order to keep Dazhai, he also spent a lot of money to get these things to replace thistle terrestris and bamboo sticks, as a way to prevent the enemy from approaching the wall.
Needless to say, everyone knows the sharpness of broken glass, even if there are calluses on the soles of the feet, they can't stand its sharpness, and it is a big hole when you step on it, and the sharper ones can even be directly inserted into the wound very deeply.
Therefore, broken glass became the best thing for them to replace thistle terrestris and bamboo sticks, and even some broken porcelain pieces became their weapon to stop the enemy.
So don't look at the outside of the sea wolf village There are only some limited fences, but many places that look very flat have hidden killing intentions, and if you are not careful, you will hurt the soles of your feet.
Chu Cailao's subordinates outside this big village, it can be said that they are miserable, and almost every quarter of an hour, someone screams and falls.
This can make Chu Cailao's subordinates anxious, seeing that the wall is in front of them, but they can't rush over, watching their subordinates being shot outside the wall like rabbits, even if they don't treat their subordinates as people, they will feel pain.
What is the reason why they can share a piece of the pie under Chu Cai's old hands? Isn't it the ship and the man they have at hand? Seeing their own people being slaughtered so badly, it's no wonder they don't hurry!
So they also hurriedly summoned the artillery they had brought with them to counterattack, and called on those men who had been assembled to hold firearms or crossbows to start a counterattack, trying to suppress the sea wolf tribes on the wall, and let their men rush to the bottom of the wall with a long ladder.
At this time, the sound of fire, cannons, shouting, and screaming inside and outside the stockade converged, and both sides were using everything they could to hit each other.
Arrows were shot on the wall, nailed to the wall, from time to time there are also guns or shells on the wall, the sawdust and gray stone flying, although the sea wolf people have the protection of the female wall and arrow stacks on the wall, but once in a hurry, some people still involuntarily forget to protect themselves.
An archer stood up, leaned over to the battlement, pulled the bowstring in his hand, and aimed at one of Chu Cailao's subordinates below, but before he could let go of his fingers, he fired the arrow, and a bullet hit him in the chest.
There were also sea wolves, although they dodged very well, shooting outward from the battlements or through the holes, but occasionally there were scattered projectiles fired by Chu Cailao's cannons flying up, just through the battlements or holes, hitting them in the face.
So at this time, the sea wolf tribes on the wall also began to have casualties, blood stained the wall, and the wounded were lying on the wall and rolling on the ground screaming, which also frightened some timid companions, making them become timid.
"Stretcher up! Save the injured and send them to the medical officer immediately! Don't mess with the rest! Killing one is enough, killing two and we'll earn one!
Phew! That's not right, at least it's enough for us to kill them, our lives are worth more than them! Don't stop, keep fighting! ”
After all, Li Dazui had not gone through such a big battle, and commanded his men who were shouting on the wall to block Chu Cailao's attack.
Although Yu Xiaotian didn't speak at this time, and let Li Dazui be responsible for commanding the battle from the perspective of watching the battle, his heart was also quite uneasy, and one life was harvested by death in front of him, and the dense crowd was slaughtered by his men outside the wall.
And his subordinates are also paying the price of casualties from time to time, their eyes are full of blood red color, he now understands why there are many troops to wear red uniforms, once people are injured or killed in battle, blood is also red, and if soldiers wear red uniforms, the color of these blood will not be so dazzling.
Life has become a meaningless number at this time, and the cruelty of war is vividly realized by the interpretation of both sides at this time, is it worth it?
Yu Xiaotian couldn't help but suddenly ask himself such a question, but this thought was only a flash, and he was immediately thrown into the garbage heap behind his head.
Bullshit! Thinking about this at this time, it's a joke, Yu Xiaotian laughed at himself in his heart, this world is itself the world of the jungle, if he wants to become stronger, he must step on other people's corpses to become stronger, Chu Cailao is now a stumbling block in front of him, and his subordinates are the composition of this stumbling block, if he doesn't kill these guys, they will swing their knives at his neck Yu Xiaotian.
At this time, any mercy is cruel to himself and his subordinates, this battle here is just a battle for survival, it does not involve anything else, he can only continue to survive by defeating Chu Cailao completely, so he came up with this idea just now, it is a joke at all, Yu Xiaotian once again clenched the handle of the knife on his waist and straightened his body a little.
(The second update is to ask for a reward?) Hehe! )
