Chapter 166. Gradually strengthen the fighting spirit

Time passed slowly, and when the sun appeared the next morning, Cape Town was still as busy as ever, but compared to the previous full swing, many Spanish sailors were now carefully starting to guard with their flintlock pistols. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The retaliatory attack of the Ketuv River thieves will appear at any time, and the Yuqiao River will not be hindered by the other side, as long as they take a warship in less than half an hour, they can reach the mouth of the Yuqiao River at the edge of the swamp, and unload the Ketufu River thieves who howl fiercely and fiercely, and sweep everything they can see with their unique wide-backed short knives.

This group of guys is like locusts that do all kinds of evil, and Cape Town is like the most delicious flower, and the collision between the two is a tragic fight between you and me, because as Levi's best developed and only foundation, he can't give up easily.

What's more, with that group of water thieves in the Ketuf River, there was no way to pose much threat to him, but relied on the hill battery, which was personally garrisoned by Wilmot, the current Minister of War and the captain of the artillery, and used four 12-pounder bronze falcon cannons to completely smash the ambition of the group of water thieves in the turbulent river of the hill!

The road that has been built leads directly to the temporary fortress, where most of the sailors live, can be called a small military camp, as long as there is any abnormal situation at the mouth of the Yuqiao River, it can also quickly assemble and provide tactical support as soon as possible, and at the same time suppress the group of water thief captives who have begun to numb and gradually adapt to their slave status.

At the port, the six light warships were also slowly heading south, the wood pulp sliding the water, and with the wind absorbed by the triangular sails, the speed of the six warships was not slow, and in a few breaths they crossed the protruding Cape Mountain and headed in the direction of Gray Mist City.

It was a special ship sent by Levi to send the craftsmen and miners he rescued home, and the Chief Minister was in charge of the official negotiations with Grey Mist, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer who followed him, Thor, was also responsible for purchasing building materials, tools, and food for more than 1,400 people to eat, drink, and chew on in Grey Mist!

At the same time, there are more than 200 water thief slaves, and the food of the dozen or so elven slaves also has to be considered, if Levi doesn't want this group of guys to starve to death, then the most basic black bread and fresh meat, as well as fresh water and sour lemons must be provided every day.

Therefore, the current Cape Town, almost every day is a huge consumption place, especially after a day of fatigue, the young and strong sailors, all have a large amount of food as a supplement, relying on the purchase of more than 200 barrels of food, almost less than a week to consume, if you do not buy some food to store, then within three days, Cape Town will be completely out of food.

Even if it is a fast catch in the local fishing grounds, the fish harvested by these small fishing boats will not satisfy their appetites, and seafood may be good as a side-food, but as a staple food that can satisfy hunger, the easily digestible fish meat will obviously not last more than a few hours.

Levi stood on the top of Cape Mountain, the stone slabs under his feet had been reorganized, and the original broken bricks and rotten wood were thrown directly under the cliff in front of him, clearing the two layers of open space at the top of the hill, and at the same time, some sailors had temporarily set up a small platform, and three Spanish sailors with flintlock pistols were responsible for guarding the surrounding situation.

As the commanding height, Haijiao Mountain, the surrounding environment can be completely controlled with a telescope, especially if someone is staring at the direction of the upper reaches of the Yuqiao River, although there is a forest to obstruct the view, but with the telescope can barely observe whether a large fleet of boats appears.

The double insurance also reassured Levi, his eyes swept over the six light warships sailing towards Gray Mist City, and his face was also a little dignified, the six warships that could enter the Yuqiao River left his combat sequence, so he should be more careful about the defense of the Yuqiao River, after all, water thieves may appear at any time, and they are still in the point of strategic defense.

"Hopefully there will be good news."

Squinting slightly, Levi's hands in his pockets also subconsciously clenched into fists, and Green First Officer went to Gray Mist City to contact Old Morton and those nobles, not only to save a group of craftsmen and miners, but also to show Levi's current strength to protect himself.

This is a small temptation, for the group of nobles to tolerate the temptation of the bottom line, Levi needs to unexpectedly grow into an absolute lord who controls the entire Cape Town, and even the entire East Coast, and even when he grows stronger, the glory of the Spanish Empire will not make him willing to become an island lord, more territory and more wealth needs, will also make him gradually towards the road of war.

This is unavoidable if any force wants to grow, if it wants to develop and grow, then it will inevitably squeeze the living space of other forces, unless the two sides can be integrated together, otherwise it is a life-and-death struggle of interests.

Now he is almost deeply tied to the water thieves of the Ketufu River, which is his first-line enemy, and those nobles who control almost the entire power of the Great Silver Plate Island in the inner city of Gray Mist City are the objects that Levi needs to test, because there is not much trust between the two sides, not to mention that he, the lord of Cape Town, is still a poor worm who compromised by the infighting of the nobles.

"But when you put me on stage, I don't want to go down."

With a sneer on the corner of his mouth, Levi also expressed his disdain for the group of nobles who thought they could control everything, that group of guys was a complete feudal aristocrat, eating people without spitting out bones, mercy and mercy were just gimmicks for their external propaganda, but in essence, they were all vicious beasts with innocent blood between their sharp teeth.

Levi doesn't want to be a puppet controlled by this group of guys, and he doesn't want to be treated as a fat sheep by this group of guys after he reaches the apex!

In other words, Levi also wants to be the one who divides the cake, and he wants to swallow it all by himself when he looks at this fat cake, because he has this ability, it is really simple for him with a game system, and even when he wants to, as long as he develops and grows unexpectedly, then he will grow into a dragon that can swallow everything, and he needs time and compromise.

So he sent the first mate Green, and at present, in addition to testing the emotions of the nobles, he also needs a certain amount of help from the nobles of the Grey Mist City, whether it is economic support or a tentative attack on the Ketufu River Valley, it is to relieve Levi's pressure.

Levi, who has been in Cape Town for less than a month, needs time, he needs to digest everything he has gained in this month, especially the citizens converted from the 700 refugees he has obtained, and it will take time to digest the efforts of this group of laborers to finally build Cape Town and the cornerstone of the development of Levi's forces.

"Thief of the Ketuf River."

Levi's gaze finally shifted to the inland hills and mountains, the water thieves in the swamp were already accumulating strength, he didn't know how long those guys would have to endure, but the longer it was, the more fierce the attack of those guys became, which was something he was worried about in his heart.

The hill fort has been built, and the entire gentle hill has been cut straight up and down, only the zigzag staircase slope about half a meter behind can be used by the defenders to go up and down, and at the same time, on the four sides of the fort, there are also walls of logs and hemp rope to block, and at the same time, women use knives to cut the wooden sticks into the tip, diagonally to the outside, like jagged wolf teeth, so that any enemy who tries to attack the hill fort is greatly hindered.

Even in order to cope with the attack of the group of water thieves that may appear at any time, almost all the woods in the area of Cape Town on the south side of the Yuqiao River have been cut down, even the lush, almost forest-like large number of trees behind Cape Town have been cut down.

"Your Majesty, maybe those water thieves have been scared out of their guts."

Hall smiled behind Levi, and also looked at the upper reaches of the Yuqiao River in the distance, with firmness and confidence in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Even if they come, how many troops can come?" After a pause, there was a little disdain in his words: "Five hundred, or a thousand, will it be two thousand?" ā€

Without waiting for Levi to speak, he continued: "Even if it is two thousand, are we afraid of them? Even those thieves who only know how to rush up in chaos and use all kinds of intrigues are no match for us at all, and they are even stuck in the sad medieval era, even if we can easily defeat this group of guys with arquebuses! ā€

"Don't underestimate them."

The heart in Levi's chest also contracted slightly, and he subconsciously looked up at the sky, the cloudless sky was like a good weather for battle, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Tactically, we must also face the enemy." ā€

Even the troops of the feudal era have the ability to fight, especially with their enthusiasm and desperate combat, even if they have the gap between the times, they will hate on the spot, after all, they are all living human beings, anyone who is shot will die, and anyone who is hit by an arrow will be injured, not to mention that if the other party can withstand the volley of muskets, after falling into a hand-to-hand battle, the two sides will only have a real tragic hand-to-hand combat.
