Chapter 170. Impassioned pre-war speeches

With the existence of the hill fort, the lower reaches of the Yuqiao River were almost firmly controlled by Levi and them, so it was impossible for the group of thieves of the Ketuf River, who had already suffered a big loss and were directly annihilated, to continue to let so many warships rush up, and the people with them wanted to break through the fire blockade of the fort.

Therefore, it is the best choice to let the group of water thieves jump ashore and slowly march towards this side along the relatively flat river bank, and at the same time, with the more than 50 warships on the river, this kind of undisguised tactics is indeed the most practical, and it is currently the most suitable for the tactics of this group of water thieves.

At least a thousand water thieves are marching towards Cape Town on the banks of the river, and their number is enough to destroy an ordinary town, not to mention that there are six ballistas dismantled from the warship in the queue of the group of water thieves!

Many low-status water thieves still carry rattan baskets behind their backs, which are filled with round stone bullets the size of a fist, for them, this kind of convenient and fast-firing long-range weapons are carried, and it is no problem to easily level Bal Town, not to mention that there are more than 30 ballistas on the warship that have not been unloaded!

"They're starting to divide their forces."

On the hill fort, Wilmot also held the telescope tightly in his hand, and watched through the lens that the warships of the water thieves of the Naktuf River in the distance began to stop moving forward, and the water thieves also jumped to the shore like dumplings, his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, he took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Although I expected it, it was indeed a little bad." ”

Hall also held his telescope and looked at the river in the distance, the more than fifty light water thief warships that almost covered the entire Ketuf River were too many, and his face was already extremely depressed and gloomy.

Not to mention the ballista, although the projection weapon of this cold weapon is not as powerful as the solid iron bullet fired by the gunpowder weapon, it is still a great threat to the formation and their hill battery, because they also have a considerable number of ballistas.

"At least it's not like we didn't have much ability to resist when we first came to Cape Town."

Among them, Levi also held his binoculars and looked at the river in front of him, and the series of warships and water thieves who jumped onto the shore made his breathing a little more dignified.

They didn't expect that the group of water thieves didn't even give a chance to try, and directly dispatched the strongest main lineup, even if they didn't use heavy warships, but with the number of these main water thieves, it was enough to be called a gangster gang on the big silver plate island, so that no force could be underestimated.

Especially after the destruction of the Sama City River Patrol Team and the loss of the outer harbor of Gray Mist City, the Ketufu River thieves have also faintly gained the strength to dominate alone, even the governor of Gray Mist City has no way to do anything about them.

"But this is the Fishbridge River and Cape Town, not the Cutuff River, Samar City Farms, and the Outer Harbor of Grey Mist."

Licking his lips gently, a flame also rose in Levi's eyes, although he did not have an advantage in numbers, he came to the east coast, Cape Town, which had been turned into his own territory, and this was his home field.

Although he has no walls and no more concrete fortifications, Levi has a game system, has sailors and soldiers who are loyal to him, and now he has been able to pull up an army of nearly eight hundred men, and all of them are cross-era weapons and tactics, why fear this medieval rabble?

Turning his head to look at the sailors beside him who were all in the shooting position, Levi also slowly put down his binoculars, reinserted them into a small round tube and put it in his pocket, turned his head to look at Wilmot and said in a deep voice: "Guard this." ”

"They're going to suffer a catastrophe from above their heads."

Wilmot stood straight, bowed respectfully to Levi, and thumped his fists heavily on his chest, but also ghostwriting his self-confidence, as the most important Minister of War in the cabinet, he could only choose to fight at such a time!

It was the enemy who came to destroy them, and they had no way to retreat, it was impossible to abandon the foundation of Cape Town and flee back in disgrace, and their current strength did not need to flee at all, because Levi, who was also able to organize an army of eight hundred people, was not without an advantage on the frontal battlefield.

"Gather your troops, line up on the south side of the hill battery, and meet our enemy!"

Levi raised the cloak behind him fiercely, and strode directly under the fort, the guards behind him and Hall, who was the Minister of the Navy in the Cabinet, also followed closely, this was an imminent fierce battle.

And just below the hill battery, the Spanish sailors who had already lined up and stood in a neat line were also ready, all three hundred of them were dressed in capable and uniform light orange Spanish Imperial uniforms, holding flintlock pistols on their shoulders like a military exercise, standing in a rectangle, and there was no panic on their faces.

They are the main force of Levi's current troops, Spanish infantry who have undergone military training and basic tactical training, even if they belong to the sailors on the warship, they are still the basic combat units of Spain.

In naval battles, there are also flintlock pistols to shoot, and even in the fierce battle, they will pick up their flintlock pistols and smash the enemy's nose into the head with the butt, and smash the head of any enemy who underestimates them, don't underestimate the power of the butt.

Moreover, they now have bayonets, in the dagger sheath at their waists, and as long as Levi's order is given, then this group of sailors who act as flintlock line infantry can also install bayonets in three seconds, and become short spear infantry capable of charging forward at any time in hand-to-hand combat, stabbing any enemy who thinks they can win victory by approaching them into bloody men with bayonets!

But the three hundred Spanish sailors were not alone, for there were three hundred citizens armed with shovels, pickaxes, and logging axes behind them, who were eyeing the back as a supplement to the melee combat.

These are strong male refugees, and when faced with the invasion of their homeland, they will also raise any weapon against the invaders and enemies, which has a glorious tradition in the Iliban Peninsula, because the Spaniards consider them enemies and invaders, so they will spontaneously form countless guerrilla and resistance groups to prove the determination of the Spaniards to resist.

Even in the era of Napoleon on earth, because of the retarded royalty and corrupt aristocracy of the Spanish Empire, a great empire was easily given to Napoleon, but the people at the bottom chose the opposite direction, that is, resistance.

This kind of resistance was a bit of a scorch for the invincible Napoleon, and the Spanish guerrillas hidden in the mountains and ravines were elusive, and in the end Napoleon could only declare a peaceful settlement, and he had no choice but to call this group of resistance groups and guerrillas "Spanish ulcers".

This is the traditional determination to resist, perhaps because they were once on the peninsula and were conquered by successive powers, and even if they came to this world, they had to defend their homeland with their lives.

Even the refugee women who stayed behind in the buildings of Cape Town and took over the temporary fortress have taken the initiative to replace the work of the Barbary pirates who were guarding the captives with a few shotguns, shovels, logging axes and other tools, and spontaneously began to form a women's wartime self-defense force, guarding the captives and guarding the buildings.

The 120-strong Barbary pirates had also made their way along the road, their Arab scimitars still sharp, standing next to the Spanish sailors and armed citizens, acting as hand-to-hand swordsmen ready to rush out.

Even the eight 7-pounder guns on the two heavy Canadian warships have been set up at the front of the queue by the sailors, although the barrels seem to be slender, but as a gunpowder weapon, for the flesh and blood infantry, it will still make a bloody path, causing huge casualties!

Everyone was ready, Levi slowly walked forward, looking at the group of people under his rule in front of him, but with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he slowly swept over the faces with determination, and also gently raised his hand, pointing to the Spanish flag on the hill fort and said loudly: "Spanish people, I have to say that today is a sunny and good day." ”

"But we can't work, we can't build our homes, because we're about to have a pack of jackals, a bunch of invaders who want to destroy our homeland, a bunch of enemies who are ferocious and have no room for relaxation."

His voice was as loud as the most traditional orator in the West, and like a general who was best at boosting morale, he delivered a speech when the war was about to begin: "Now we will kill the jackals, kill the invaders, and kill the enemy." Levi paused slowly, still sweeping the firm faces, before he said loudly: "Because this is our homeland, it is Spain!" ”

A red, yellow, and red checkered banner was raised by one of Levy's guards, and the sea breeze blew in front of everyone, and the flaming yellow and blood-like red represented the journey of the Spanish Empire.

Exhaling heavily, Levi had already pulled out the scimitar at his waist, and the chaotic footsteps and arrogant laughter behind him had also appeared, and he slowly turned around, and the water thief warships had appeared on the surface of the Yuqiao River, and the murderous Ketuf River thieves had already walked over on the riverbank.

"So today..."

The scimitar on Levi's waist was completely pulled out, and the shiny blade was pointed diagonally forward, and the whole person seemed to have completely become the king of Spain, and said loudly and encouragingly: "Let's meet the battle!" (To be continued.) )
