Chapter 236: The Point of Light Approaches
The pirates had already advanced a mile beyond the rocky beach, and were already within range of the cannons.
Haishan sneered in his heart, he couldn't help himself, a group of little lambs also came to challenge the majesty of the king of beasts?
I really don't know whether to live or die!
The rock crevice is in the middle of the rocky beach, and it is only about two miles from the top of the cliff to the edge of the rocky beach. Along the edge of the cliff, you can even protrude to the rocky beachhead, where a cannon and a heavy machine gun are placed, and the beach is overlooked from a height of more than 100 meters.
On top of the rock crevice, there is another artillery position and machine gun position, defending the rocky beach and the sea.
It was the enemy who broke through these two lines of defense and entered the passage of the rock crevice, and the slits for nearly two miles were also full of dangers, and a stone dropped casually was a cannonball.
There are not 18,000 people who can't fill this line of defense.
On his head, Yongchang stood on the top of the cliff to blow the wind, Meng Haishan, who was responsible for observing the enemy's movements at his feet, was lying in the sun in the pile of stones, while Guo Ying, who was specifically in charge of the battle, sat on the stone and closed his eyes to recuperate, waiting for Yongchang's order.
The three of them were a little excited before the battle, and looking at Yongchang's graceful appearance, they knew that the pirates were in trouble.
"Boom, ---boom, boom, boom", the sound of several explosions in a row came, and the nine-ring array blossomed in the pirate group. The killing radius of one* is nearly twenty meters, and the Nine Thunder Chains are even more powerful to kill.
In a single breath, hundreds* of debris and countless sand and gravels covered a large area of the beach, and more than thirty pirates were killed and wounded, and more than thirty percent fell.
Listening to the painful howl under his feet, Yongchang has no pity, no sympathy, this is the price of greed.
If you lose this battle at the hands of pirates, you will probably have to endure several times the pain.
Treasure, beauty, weapons, food, all of which are irresistible temptations for pirates.
Once defeated, no one on the island, men or women, will be spared.
Although they are the same people, but on the other side is a group of strong criminals, which cannot be speculated by common sense, nor can it be persuaded by reason.
How can we learn a lesson without beating them up?
The pirates stopped, *such weapons were the latest equipment in this era, and none of the pirates had ever seen them, they could only guess that it was some*, and looked around suspiciously.
After watching it for a long time, the pirates didn't see the name, and the follow-up *, the guns didn't come out, and there was no sound of guns firing.
So the remaining sixty or seventy pirates continued in the direction of the rocky beach, hesitating and fearing, cautious and hesitant. The ranks began to disperse, stretch, groping their way towards unknown dangers.
"Boom-" There were several more explosions, which blew the remaining pirates to the bristles, and more than twenty more fell in pools of blood, and the nearly forty remnants of the defeated army who survived could no longer take care of their companions and fled.
Yongchang did not give the order to shoot, nor did he order the cannons, and allowed the pirates to flee for their lives, leaving only the corpses and wounded in one place. In fact, if they threw dozens of * them downward, they could basically wipe out the pirates. However, he is not willing to offend the Shark Gang to death, so he has to leave them some strength to help him resist the poisonous dragon, and the ready-made cannon fodder does not need to be used in vain.
If the helmsman fights hard to fight him, his own deaths and injuries will not be inevitable. What's more, ammunition also costs money, which is the capital for him to gain a foothold in troubled times in the future. If you can save it, you can save it, his otaku nature has been deeply rooted in his bones, and a pack of instant noodles can last a night, not to mention the valuable ammunition?
"Summoned Xu Si, prepare to meet the enemy by the lake, inform Liu Yang, and the reconnaissance squad will cooperate with the combat squad to defend the lakeside defense line. Spartak died, continuing to guard the beach along the line. “
Yongchang made arrangements, left the cliff head, and when he passed by the cliff top position, he explained a few words to the remaining Dasheng, and slowly returned to the cave.
Yongchang is sure to hold the base, because now he has several tight lines of defense to rely on.
In the direction of the beach, dozens of them* were arranged in the rocky beach area, and only a small half of them were used just now, and when it got dark, they sent someone to bury dozens of them, and buried them a little farther, the pirates would never have imagined.
Two lines of defense were arranged on the top of the cliff, which were condescending, and the terrain prevailed. The crevice passage is also defended, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Four lines of defense keep the passage tight.
As for the direction of the shore of the lake, he arranged only one * formation and two Makqin, two squads of fighters.
It seems that there are only two lines of defense, but the treacherous and unpredictable dense forest, the intricate terrain is the best line of defense, and the pirates want to attack the base through the dense forest for more than ten miles, depending on whether they have such good teeth.
At this moment, while the defeated pirates were still on their way back to camp, another group of men and horses of the helmsman were trudging through the gloomy rainforest.
Full Rudder followed the back of the group with a dozen of his men. After lunch, the helmsman sent a team of 100 people to attack head-on, and selected more than 50 people to form an assault team as a surprise soldier, wanting to attack from the flank. And he was a hunter and was chosen as a matter of course.
Man Rudder has seen Yongchang's ability, a character who can subdue the dragon and subdue the rudder, how can a little pirate like himself be shaken?
Although he was unwilling, the helmsman took the roll call, and he could only lead the team to set off. This group of men and horses were all from the mountains, and they were well-armed with new steel guns, and even carried two* each.
The trees in the tropical rainforest are tall, the big trees that are thirty or forty meters high and several people hugging each other can be seen everywhere, the canopy is impermeable, the light in the forest is dim, and the dead branches and fallen leaves accumulated on the ground after heavy rain emit the smell of decay, which makes people smell sick.
The thick leaves of the trees make the ground a natural trap, and if you are not careful, you will fall to the ground when you step on the deep pit, and if you are unlucky enough to hit the stump, broken branches, or stones, it will be a serious consequence of the head breaking and bleeding.
After walking for more than ten miles, six or seven people in the team of more than 50 people were injured in non-combat. Those who broke their feet, broke their knees, and hit their heads, it is not excluded that the timid and cunning old oilman took the initiative to get injured, and a few people slowed down the team's marching speed.
In this dense forest, the ghosts are longing and unpredictable, and the pirates must not leave their companions alone, otherwise they may feed the beasts.
After discussing with the leaders of the team, they could only leave a few people to take care of them and slowly follow behind the team. Lu Manduo is the leader of these people, he is happy to fall behind, and if he leads the rear team, he can avoid facing that powerful man.
The keen sense of hunting for many years made him vigilant, and the group that followed him had broken away from the large group, and they were still hanging far behind. However, his sensitive ears could hear the rustle of leaves far and near behind him, the sound of animals walking and running.
Not good!
The smell of blood emanating from his own people has attracted the beasts of the mountains and forests.
A dozen or so pirates began to get nervous and raised their spears one after another.
"Oh ho ho ho ---", it was the laughter of the hyena pack, the sound was sharp and piercing, like a ghost crying.
The forest gradually became lively, with hyenas, mountain leopards, pythons, crows, macaws, and hideous black shadows jumping on the leaves, moving on the branches, and flying in mid-air, full of the excitement of being about to eat.
"Bang", the full rudder hit a mountain leopard first, and then the nervous pirates scrambled to shoot, and the frightened ones fired the loaded bullets, and the timid ones turned even pale, and took out the * tremblingly, and threw it towards the hyena herd, but forgot to pull the fuse.
"Boom, boom", inspired by him, four, five* were thrown at the beast, and the ground was splattered with flesh and blood, and fallen leaves, dead branches, and feathers flew in the air.
Bombarded by the explosion, the herd retreated.
The pirates stepped up, leaving behind a lively clamor of biting, fighting, and roaring. If they don't block this wave of attacks, they will also become food for the beasts to bite and fight.
Full Rudder knew that this was only the beginning of the killing, that the gore had attracted more blood, and that their retreat had been broken. Behind him, more and more beasts will inevitably gather.
If they return the way they came, it will be food delivered to their door.
"Da da", he heard the sound of gunfire in front of him, and occasionally the loud sound of explosions and the heart-rending screams of his companions could be heard in the woods.
Oops, ambush!
By the time he led his team to the front line of the battle, the more than forty men who had taken the lead had already been killed and wounded, and there were deep pits from the explosion, stumps and broken arms, blood stains, and scattered firearms. Less than a third of the remaining pirates were unharmed.
The helmsman's assault team was disabled.
In the end, the Shark Gang is just a giant who is rampant on the sea, and he is not good at land and mountain warfare, and it is impossible to understand the magic of the later generations.
When the strange soldiers sent by the helmsman reached the top of the low hill by the lake with difficulty, they saw the surface of the lake more than two miles away, the flat land and the slowly descending grassy slope, which was obviously an artificially modified landform.
So, the pirates, in high spirits, rushed down the slope, and before their eyes there was no shadow of the enemy, and their hearts were full of hope of victory and confidence in victory. The gold, silver and jewels seemed to shake in front of their eyes, and the soybes in the cave were about to knead in their hands.
Their adrenaline is pumping and their steps are brisk and agile.
The pirates were defenseless, and the warriors hiding in the position pulled the trigger in their hands under Zhang Baixiong's orders, and the chain of fire composed of two bullets swept through the marching procession, like the scythe of death.
The arms, thighs and skull, which were subjected to the tremendous inertia of the bullet without a crane, were separated from the body at the moment of being shot, and the soft body, once swept by the bullet, was the intestine and stomach pierced, cut into two pieces, and the flesh and bones were eroded.
The pirate team fell into a panic at once, and the thirty or so surviving pirates retreated in confusion, only to be bombed by *, and almost everyone was in the picture.
Retreating into the forest on the slope, there were only about two dozen people left in the assault team, and only half of them were not seriously injured, and they were already disabled.
Even with the more than ten people brought by the full rudder, the thirty or so pirates were all frightened and did not dare to attack again.
At night, in the camp of the Shark Gang, the panicked pirate crowd was full of howls, that is, the companions who had been hurt by * in the afternoon could not bear the pain, and could only relieve the pain through wailing and *.
And the assault team that infiltrated the dense forest has not been seen yet.
In the distance, the sound of machine-gun fire and explosions could be heard, but now the sound has long since died down, and the team has not appeared.
Thinking of the beast attack last night, people could not be optimistic about their safety, and everyone was so panicked that they didn't even want to enjoy dinner.
In the distance, a point of light slowly approached.
