Chapter Twenty-Eight: Pirate Night Attack
Li Tang obeyed Nie Jun's arrangement, and took advantage of the fact that it was still early to go to the Whale Shark and arrange for the soldiers to eat and drink. The www.biquge.info hoisted the sails to a hidden place, and asked the soldiers to put out the fire and turn off the lights, and start sleeping, leaving only a few sailors to keep an eye on the situation in Linhai Village.
Whether the sailors and sailors fell asleep Li Tang didn't know. Anyway, Li Tang couldn't sleep while lying on the boat, and he was uneasy.
Anyway, Nie Jun was naturally very nervous, although he pretended to be light in front of Li Tang, light on his master, and hiding millions of soldiers in his chest. But in fact, he himself was a soldier on paper, and had never really commanded a battle before. Those just now were all figured out by themselves, and whether they can be done or not depends on the specific effect.
However, Nie Jun is also quite ruthless, he plans to see the fleet coming, first light the fire, use the fire to attract the pirate's attention to the dock, and lure the pirate to land.
At the same time, by using the principle of optics, it is not easy to see the characteristics of dark places when the naked eye sees bright places, creating opportunities for fireships to sneak attack.
In the event that a pirate lands, there are archers and crossbowmen behind the dock to snipe, and sword and shield soldiers are responsible for protecting the archers and crossbowmen.
In case the sniper fails, set fire to the dock to cut off the pirate soldiers and pirate ships, knowing that the dock is not only covered with dry firewood, but also a lot of wet grass, once ignited, such as emitting a lot of smoke, enough to interfere with the pirate's line of sight and make their attack not go well.
When it was time to say that, the Howling Dogs came to report that the pirate fleet was already approaching.
After waiting for another two hours, the Howling Dog began to roar.
At this time, by the moonlight and starlight, the vague shadows of the ships in the night could already be seen.
Of course, at this time, the entire upcoming battlefield was extremely quiet, really like a sleeping village.
The roar of the Howling Dog travels far and wide, and naturally it may reach the ears of pirates.
After another half of the incense time, Nie Jun lit the pyre, and the raging fire rose immediately, completely illuminating the dock and the village, and the sound of gongs and drums was heard in the village.
The pirates heard the barking of dogs, saw fire, and heard the sound of gongs and drums, and knew that they had been discovered.
So they ordered the ships to sail towards the docks, and they were not afraid of being discovered. At this point, it doesn't take half an hour to dock and then board the pier.
That is, even if the villagers found out, it is estimated that they will not be able to organize effective resistance, and it will be too late.
The pirates all looked triumphantly at the villagers scurrying in the firelight, like a pack of well-fed cats watching a desperate mouse.
They laughed at the stupid villagers and lit a campfire on the dock to show them the way. At the same time, they fantasize about landing on land, robbing the villagers, and burning the village.
No one noticed that two small boats were rapidly approaching behind them.
They were so proud that the four ships they lined up in the rear began to burn without noticing. By the time they noticed the fire behind them, the three ships in front of them were also pinned down.
I saw that the red horse boat was carrying a bumper nail, and after nailing the pirate ship, the sailors on the red horse boat jumped into the water decisively after skillfully igniting the grease.
Now, the pirates can't afford to attack. They had to fight with all their might, otherwise even if they captured the village, the boat would burn and they would not be able to go back for a while.
So, the pirate leaders ordered the sails to be lowered, and everyone went to fetch water to extinguish the fire. If you don't put down the sails, you can't do it, the ship is sailing, which is not conducive to extinguishing the fire!
At this time, they should also think that since the enemy can use such an insidious trick to attract their attention and attention, and then carry out a fire attack, how can there be no follow-up moves?
Just as everyone on the pirate ship was ready to put out the fire, a large number of red horse boats appeared around the pirate ship.
They swam at a rapid pace, shooting arrows at the fireship. Since the pirate ship, there were people who were fighting fires everywhere, and it was very dense and there was no cover. Therefore, they basically have no missed arrows, and there are no misses.
The pirates wanted to fight back, but because everyone was busy putting out the fire, they couldn't organize a counterattack with an after-effect effect.
Seeing that the fire was getting better and bigger, and the personnel he sent to extinguish the fire also suffered heavy casualties, there was basically no hope of extinguishing the fire, and the ship seemed to be unable to be saved.
The commander-in-chief of the pirate ship decisively gave the order to hoist the sails with all his might and approach the pier. Land them all, occupy the village, and fight for a chance to survive.
This is a plan to sacrifice the car for the commander. The commander-in-chief of the pirate ship can be so decisive, obviously a ruthless character. After all, this method is extremely risky, and if the village is not captured and the ship is burned, they will be in a place from which they will never recover.
However, the pier is not so easy to get on either. On the current dock, there are many small sailing boats docked crookedly.
Originally, they were very happy when they looked at these small sailboats. Because, their loot can be increased a lot. But now, these established trophies have become a stumbling block for them to escape from the hands of death.
Without moving these small sailing ships, the pirate ship will not be able to stop at all. If you don't get close to the pier, the ship will not be able to moor securely, and will slip into the sea with the ebb waves.
If you want pirate soldiers to go ashore, the ship must be stable, otherwise, you can't even cross the dock, so why talk about capturing the dock?
By the time the small sailboat had been removed, many of the ship's fires had already ignited the aft deck.
At this time, the three boats side by side in front, the left and right boats, were already on fire and could not be extinguished. Only the middle boat remained, which was protected on the left, right and aft and was barely hit by rockets.
It's a pity to see that the fire on both sides of the ship is about to spread to its side. The general of this ship, who had hoped that the other ships would be close to it, jumped into the gang and landed through this ship. However, looking at the current situation, if other ships approach, they will inevitably burn their own ships.
The same is true for the four ships in the back, the left and right ships are basically set on fire. Seeing that there is no help. However, due to the obstruction of the ship in front, they could not get close to the pier, so they could only jump into the sea one after another, ready to swim ashore.
Only the middle two boats of the four ships behind extinguished the fire, but unfortunately they did not dare to move forward or turn for fear of being ignited by other ships.
At this time, behind them, there were 4 warships, they cooperated with the red horse boat cruising around, harvesting a large number of pirates who jumped into the sea, the fire of the pirate ship illuminated the sea, those pirates who wanted to sneak up on the red horse boat from the water had nowhere to hide, as soon as they showed their heads, they were stabbed to death by spears.
It is said that the pirates of the first three ships went to the dock with great difficulty, but when they got off the ship, they were attacked by a rain of arrows, because the area around the dock was empty, there was nowhere to hide, and they wanted to fight back but because they wanted to make way for the people who boarded the ship behind, they could not put in a counterattack.
Brave a hail of arrows and huge casualties, more than 1,500 people landed on the docks, and they used the corpses to build a defensive line and prepare to counterattack and storm the village.
Now, the ship is lost, there is no way back, there is the sea behind it, and there is only a way to survive after rushing through.
At this time, Nie Jun was so cruel that he ordered the fire.
The wooden dock was already combustible, and with so much dry wood and grease, the entire dock suddenly burst into a sea of fire, mixed with thick smoke, which made the pirates on the dock scurry around like flies without heads.
Some people are lucky enough to run out of the dock and fall into the sea, and they can swim ashore; Others were burned alive in the fire. Some people rushed out of the fire, and they were greeted by a rain of bullets and arrows.
Only those who did not board the pier decisively jumped into the sea and escaped from Ascension.
At this time, 500-600 people were really killed by fire and arrows, and the others, except for the pirates on the zipper ship that was not on fire, jumped into the sea.
However, they all jumped into the sea by themselves, and there was no one to command, so naturally there was no unified goal. Some of them were trying to escape, some were trying to scuttle boats, some were trying to go ashore to attack the village, but anyway, there was no one to organize, and the whole pirate was in a mess.
The pirates who jumped into the sea, the sailors were basically killed when they were found by the people on the Red Horse boat, shot at a distance, stabbed to death and hacked to death at close range. The entire harbor turned blood-red in the light of the fire, attracting a large group of sharks.
At this moment, the pirates who jumped into the sea were unlucky, and many pirates were bitten alive by sharks.
The pirates who were able to land on the shore were captured as long as they were not tied, and those who dared to resist were killed on the spot. Only the clever pirates came ashore from afar, then hid and waited for the right moment.
If the pirates are victorious, they come out to pick the fruit, and when the pirates are defeated, they come out and surrender.
Most of them lost their weapons in order to escape for their lives. It's just that it's not safe to hide in the shadows, and you must know that the wild wolves outside the village are also very hungry.
By the time the sky dawned, five of the seven pirate ships on the surface had burned to the bottom.
The only two pirates left were intact. However, seeing that there was no hope of victory, they could not escape, so they could only raise the white flag, cut the sail ropes, lower the sails, and surrender.
The battle to defend Linhai Village has only come to an end.
Now that the pirates have surrendered, the other pirates are naturally reluctant to resist anymore.
Before the attack, the pirates were on a mighty 7 ships. Now there are only two ships left, originally more than 7,700 people, and now there are not many left.
The remaining two warships, which were supposed to have 2,200 people on board, were shot more than 100 people, and less than 2,100 people remained.
However, many sailors and pirates who jumped into the water swam around the two ships and were rescued by the crews of the two ships. The two ships rescued almost 1,100 people. Together with the 400 people who were captured on the spot, and the 1,400 people who were forced to surrender after dawn after the escape and the threat of wild wolves, there were less than 5,000 people left. Most of the others were shot and slashed, and a small amount were eaten by sharks and wild wolves.
Fortunately, except for a few of the 5,000 people who were burned by fire and scratched by wild wolves, they were basically not injured much. Because there were so many injuries, people were basically eaten by sharks and wild wolves.
This time, I caught a lot of people, and all of them were thrown into the Qiankun bracelet to reflect on and transform! The wounded are also actively treated, and those who surrender can't they die, right?
Of course, this time Linhai Village is not without casualties, but the casualties are not small! The sailors on the fireship were too close to the pirate ship when they burned the ship, and when they burned the first three pirate ships, they were shot and killed; Some of the Red Horse Boats were shot dead by the reacting pirate ship when they stopped to rescue the sailors who jumped into the sea.
Plus the counterattack of the pirates who jumped into the sea, the attacks of the pirates after they came ashore, and so on. Not counting the wounded, the sailors lost 53, 4-star soldiers 47, and 5-star soldiers 21.
Li Tang planned a place for these sacrificed villagers, together with the villagers who died in the last battle, and buried them in a unified scenery.
Li Tang and a group of generals knelt down to pay respects, and carved a huge stone tablet in the Qiankun bracelet, the stone tablet accompanied the name of each villager who sacrificed, as well as the praise of their achievements, carved and installed in the cemetery, specially sent guards, guarding the mausoleum.
Li Tang named this cemetery the Hero Evergreen Garden, and stipulated that every year on this day, a special person must be sent to pay respects.
System prompt: You created your own Hero Evergreen Garden, named successfully, reputation +1000.
Building Name: Hero Evergreen Garden, the effect of the entire territory increases the people's heart +5, in the same territory, name the same name, you can produce buildings with the same attributes, and the attributes cannot be stacked.
Good build, uplifting building. Moreover, it is important to promote the entire territory, not individual villages. Moreover, different villages, as long as the tombstone is carved and named, can be identified as the same building. It's a pity that the attributes can't be stacked, otherwise, there is also such a tombstone in the newly built village, and the people's morale will increase by 10.
The damage also included the wharf, but the construction drawings of the wharf were not burned out, they were nothing more than reconstruction.
