"And each stone wall is at least a few tens of meters long, so in order to defend these four stone walls, the navy must invest nearly half of its strength."

"After all, the stone wall defense line of dozens of meters is only garrisoned by more than five naval guards, and its strength is already very weak, and it can no longer be few."

"If there is less, then there is no point in building this stone wall."

"But the problem is that in addition to the defense of the stone wall, the navy also needs patrol forces in the camp, plus the personnel who change shifts day and night, it can be said that the most important thing for the navy is sufficient manpower."

"But now they have only a few dozen people in total, so the strength they can garrison on the stone wall must be very rare, and it is likely that even they themselves are not prepared to use this thick, solid stone wall, but only as a precautionary measure."

"After all, even the strongest city walls are just dead things, and if there are not enough people to defend them, then even the tallest walls can be easily conquered by children, so the two complement each other and are indispensable."

As he spoke, Ye Feng's thoughts became clearer and clearer: "This also means that as long as we can blind the enemy in the first attack, then we still have a good chance of capturing the stone wall with only a fairly small loss." ”

"At that time, our musket team, which is condescending, will be able to better exert the power of lead bullets."

After hearing this, the faces of the pirate leaders couldn't help but show a knowing smile, after all, maybe in terms of individual soldier quality and combat effectiveness, they are not as good as the elite Royal Navy guards, but in the chaos of sneak attacks, but their specialty!

Then, the sharpshooter spoke again: "According to what the captain just said, the other side of the mountain is bare rock, and it will take at least half an hour to rush from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the stone wall. ”

"So if we're going to take the stone wall before the enemy reacts, then we have to create an environment where the enemy can't take care of the stone wall for a short time."

"And there's nothing better than fire to create chaos, because the enemy's tents are made of buffalo hide, so while the waterproof function is first-class, is it fireproof?"

"Hey, hey! I don't think I need to say more. ”

"If the fire is not contained, then the enemy will have to be forced to abandon the camp, and at that time, we will not even have to seize the stone wall, and if the enemy mobilizes manpower to put out the fire, then we will take advantage of the situation to capture the stone wall."

At this time, the pirate leaders sitting there couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the sharpshooter, and I have to say that his battle plan is indeed very good, because as he said, as long as the fire can be ignited, then in the end, no matter what the reaction of the navy is, whether to fight the fire or not, Yefeng's combat intention has been realized.

After all, no matter how elite the Royal Navy guards are, they are still human, they can't stay in a burning camp for long, and once they abandon their strong fortress, then pirates have nothing to fear.

And if they choose to put out the fire, then the defense on the side of the stone wall will become even weaker, and then as long as the night front and them are strong, they will be able to easily take the city wall.

However, the biggest problem lying in front of the pirates was how to put a fierce fire in the naval camp, after all, if it was only a small fire, then it would be quickly extinguished by the navy, and then it would not be able to divert the garrison on the city wall.

Thinking of this, everyone's heads couldn't help but hurt, because if this solution was not solved, then the next plan would not be implemented at all.

At this time, Ye Feng suddenly asked Huskar as if he had thought of something, "By the way, how much whale oil reserves do we have?" ”

Whale oil is made from the oil on the whale's body and a certain amount of plants, and it has the characteristics of long burning time and is not easily extinguished by wind and waves.

Therefore, before the advent of oil, ships would carry enough whale oil when sailing, and there is no doubt that Yefeng also took a fancy to the characteristics of whale oil, which is easy to ignite and not easy to extinguish.

The reason why Yefeng asked Huskar about the whale oil reserves on the ship was because Huska was the first mate of the battleship, and he was responsible for the quantity of various materials on the ship and the place where they were stored.

Huska and the others are not stupid, as soon as Yefeng opened his mouth, he immediately understood his intentions, so he pondered for a moment and said: "The whale oil we carry now is only 5 gallons, which is only enough for our daily life in the next few days, but we still have two and a half barrels of whale oil (one barrel equals 42 gallons) on our warship. ”

"That's barely enough to carry out your plan, but in that case, we won't have whale oil to use on our next voyage, which means we'll have to live without cooked food and lights."

Hearing Haskar's concern, Ye Feng smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, according to my information, there is a watchtower on the top of White Hat Bay, although most of the facilities on it have been damaged because they have not been used for a long time, but there is at least more than a barrel of whale oil on it." ”

"So as long as we can help the mermaids get their sisters free, then we have time to think of a solution."

Now that the biggest problem is solved, there are no other problems with Huskar, but because the rest of the whale oil is stored on the Wind.

So they had to send someone back to the Tempest to transport the two and a half barrels of whale oil.

Because Huskar knew the situation of these supplies best, he had to let him go to the Tempest to deliver whale oil.

As for the berserkers, whose strength is several times that of ordinary pirates, it doesn't take too much manpower to carry just two barrels of whale oil, so Nightfeng arranged for Huskar to ride the dire wolf to go back quickly.

In the forest, the speed of the dire wolf is at least several times that of the cavalry, and it belongs to the relationship between the Nightblade summoning beast, so it also has a mysterious spiritual connection with the Nightfeng, so it can easily find the team.

After Huska rode the Dire Wolf out of the group, Nightblanc continued to discuss with the pirates, and now they were discussing how to successfully place whale oil in the navy's camp.

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, and this problem was quickly solved by the pirates, and the method they used was very simple, that is, to make a batch of wood out of wood, but the inside of these wooden shells was hollowed out and filled with whale oil.

When the wooden cannonball hits the camp, at the moment of collision, the wooden shell shell will instantly shatter due to the huge pressure, and at this time, the whale oil in the cannonball will splash everywhere due to the huge kinetic energy.

In this way, just one round of shooting can splash whale oil in most parts of the naval camp, and then just one rocket can immediately cause a raging fire!

Anyway, for the pirates, as long as they can successfully start the fire, as for the aspect of being discovered by the enemy, hehe, as I said before, as long as the first step of the fire is successful, then the reaction of the navy is no longer a problem.

I have to say that the old saying is indeed true, the wisdom of the people can never be underestimated!

After solving two of the most difficult parts of the plan, Nightblade let the pirate leader disperse, but he was the only one who kept Manuel, an old carpenter with ten years of experience in ship carpentry.

Then he consulted with Manuel for a while, and then asked Manuel to pick a few pirates and leave the party and enter the dense forest.

And the pirates he selected all have a common characteristic, that is, although their combat effectiveness is not strong, they all have a certain amount of carpentry experience.

As for them leaving the team at this time, of course, they have to look for suitable wood as a cannonball, after all, not all wood can be used as a carrier for cannonballs, because it must have a certain toughness, otherwise, the chamber pressure when firing in the cannon cavity will cause the wooden cannonball to break in the chamber before it is fired.

Therefore, only an old carpenter like Manuel, who has some experience in ship carpentry, can find suitable wood in the vast forest.

At this time, although there were not many creatures in the forest that could threaten these carpenters, to be on the safe side, Nightfeng sent them into the forest to find suitable wood as a carrier of cannonballs, and at the same time, he also secretly sent hunters to protect them.

With the power of the hunter, even the king of the forest, the tiger, is preyed upon by it!

Then, after continuing to advance for more than an hour, the team finally reached the foot of Half Moon Mountain, mainly because the artillery slowed down the march.

However, after coming to the foot of the mountain, Yefeng did not arrange for the pirates to push the cannon up the mountain, but after thinking about it for a while, he let the pirates push the cannon and walk back in the direction they came.

But they had only walked a few hundred meters before stopping, and then he ordered the pirates to set up camp here, of course, the lights must not be lit, and it was better not to make too much noise.

The pirates had already exhausted their physical strength after a long journey, so of course one hundred and twenty agreed to this order from the Night Blade, so although every pirate was already exhausted.

However, they were surprisingly efficient, and in just over twenty minutes, a camp began to take shape. 166 Reading Network
