Captain Zuo Yintang and the miners in the shed finally got a chance to breathe.

The pirates didn't care about the momentary surprise, and the vacant and messy formation was quickly restored. The cold offensive continues unabated.

Zuo Yintang replaced the weapon he was holding on to and found a short machine gun with greater lethality. Other miners also stabilized, changing weapons and refilling ammunition. In this way, the mining team in the shed and the pirates outside pounced one after another, forming a stalemate situation.

Qin Xiao and Zuo Yintang's heavy weapons exerted great power. Chen Xiangmei's sniper rifle was originally captured from Mrs. Shang's bandits, and it was not a sniper rifle in the real sense, but a sight was added to the earthen gun. Therefore, it took a lot of effort for Chen Xiangmei to really find the aiming focus of this broken gun, and killed two pirates, before she gradually became handy.

Suddenly, there was another commotion in the pirate group, as if it was a little unclear.

Qin Xiao and Chen Xiangmei slowed down their shooting speed and observed the enemy's situation.

Martial artist Ouyang Hai and chief manager Li Dahua led the township warrior group to kill the generals from the dirt road in Anle Village.

Jade Guanyin, Chen Zhinian and Yizhang Red Jia Saihua are impressively listed.

Ouyang Hai picked up a typewriter heavy machine gun from the pile of pirates' corpses and fired at the attacking pirates from the flanks. This typewriter heavy machine gun was originally designed to defend and fight against the corps, and the loading volume was amazing, but the disadvantage was that the accuracy was not high.

Chen Zhinian grabbed an AK47 rifle from the corpses of pirates all over the ground, the advantage of this rifle is that it can be strafed and shot, light and easy to use, and has a high load. Chen Zhinian continued to shoot non-stop, and every time he shot, there were pirate casualties.

The Township Warrior Regiment in Anle Village is similar to the security team, and its original purpose is to protect the safety of one party, so it also receives a certain intensity of training on a regular basis. Therefore, the combat effectiveness is much higher than that of those temporarily recruited miners. Moreover, Anle Village also has a stockpile of weapons, but it is mainly concentrated on earthen guns and earth cannons, explosives and detonators. The purpose is not to deal with people. The earthen guns are more used for hunting, and the earthen guns are used to dig coal, earth grenades, earth bombs, etc., and are more used to fry fish in winter. However, even if this is not reliable, the casualties and panic caused to the pirates are still enormous.

The attacking pirates didn't know how many people were coming, and who were coming. The front does not dare to attack unscrupulously, and the flanks cannot be ignored.

The stalemate was quickly broken, and it began to turn into Ouyang Hai and Li Dahua leading the Xiangyong Regiment to attack the pirates.

It was getting dark, and there was a lot of gunfire. The pirates were a little overwhelmed, and the pirates attacking on land had already suffered more than half of the casualties at this time. The pirates fought and retreated.

Ouyang Hai and Li Dahua didn't dare to chase after them. Because it was too dark, I couldn't see the enemy situation clearly, and the weapons and ammunition in my hands were also temporarily grabbed and not replenished. Therefore, it would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that the retreating pirates were actually killed.

The pirate gate finally retreated cleanly, and between the coast and the mines, there were corpses and scattered weapons, clothes, and blood.

The mining team didn't dare to be careless, and they couldn't defend it, but just took turns to replenish food and good weapons.

Ouyang Hai and Chen Liqing's Township Warrior Regiment were armed, went around the back mountain, and touched into the shed. Eat something indiscriminately, then treat the wounded and replenish ammunition.

Almost no one spoke, everything was silent. The miners who remained behind did not say a word, and kept strengthening their defenses, preparing for a possible wave of attacks by pirates in the early hours of the morning.

The night is long, between thrilling and life and death, the night seems longer, and the night is darker.

Sure enough, in the early hours of the next morning, when the sky was faint and a little brighter, another wave of pirate attacks began. However, it was only a tentative attack. The cunning pirate is testing how much resistance the mining team in the shed has to go, so he can decide what to do next. So, with plenty of ammunition, the miners fired in a few rows and drove the pirates back.

The sky has completely brightened, and several pirate ships, large and small, are clearly displayed on the coastline. The pirates were not idle all night, and the battleship pirate giant ship was now completely on the coastline, in order to increase the striking surface and facilitate the attack and retreat. Several escort pirate ships were scattered around the first ship, so that the main ship would not be attacked by accident. It can be seen that this is a group of well-trained pirates, and everything is arranged in an orderly and well-founded manner.

After noon, the pirate gate fired another burst of cannons and launched a charge, but it was only a test of the hand, dancing and dancing, sporadically, and then they all withdrew to the pirate ship.

The mining team took the opportunity to trim. Due to the long distance of the guns on the pirate ship, the damage to the shed was not large, or the casualties were too large, and there were many scattered escapes.

In the afternoon, the two brothers Liu Qi and Liu Lin arrived with some prime-aged villagers.

Taoist priests Cha Cha Zhi and Lu Qingqiu were also among them.

Liu Qi and Liu Lin brought a large amount of food, weapons and ammunition. Cha Cha Zhi and Lu Qingqiu brought healing pills, and also brought several large jars of drunken Qingqiu ancient wine. Many of the miners who had been scattered by the artillery fire also returned to the shed one after another. This is a great boost to the morale of the remaining mining team.

Zuo Yintang was always at the forefront of artillery fire, and never retreated. He stood in a makeshift bunker in the shed, holding a high-powered telescope and constantly observing the enemy's situation. The pirate ships were lined up, and there was no movement on the side of the ship, except for the occasional figure flashing. Most of the pirates hid in their cabins. At this time, Zuo Yintang saw these pirate ships thoroughly. The bottom of these pirate ships is loaded with rows of huge ice blades. The blades are not made of steel, but are hewn out of huge blocks of ice. Zuo Yintang also praised not only the pirate's IQ. Chiseling skates from such huge ice cubes is really time-saving and material-saving, and the ice is only more effective than steel.

After noon, the pirates also arrived with their companions. Of course, the companions who arrived were on a skate pirate ship. This pirate ship is relatively bloated, a bit like a large cardboard box like a packing box. It seems that this should be counted as a supply ship. The pirates on the coast immediately got busy, but in order and unhurried. They carried a steady stream of supplies onto the ship, and carried the sick and wounded onto the ship. Before it was dark, the supply ship turned its sails and rode back with the wind, and soon disappeared into the thick snow and ice haze on the sea.

From the appearance of the pirate ship, to the attack launched by the pirates, to the long night of staying, to the sporadic artillery fire and harassment in the early morning, Qin Xiao, Zuo Yintang, Ouyang Hai, and Li Dahua, including the team members, miners, and Xiang Yong, barely spoke. Danger is coming, overwhelmed, and there is no time to communicate. The pirates themselves wanted to be taken by surprise.

In the evening, there was no movement on either side, not even a light. The two sides were fighting in the dark.

Now, the leaders of the sheds feel that they can exchange views, arrange defenses, and make further plans.

Qin Xiao, Zuo Yintang and Chen Xiangmei, Ouyang Hai, Li Dahua, Chen Zhinian, Jia Saihua and others gathered in one shed. There is a fence to cover it, you can light the lights, and you can talk and communicate normally.

For a long time, everyone was silent.

Qin Xiao adjusted the frequency and said, "Captain Zuo, you can speak first." ”

Zuo Yintang's expressionless face eased a little, but it was not completely relaxed, but the melancholy between his eyebrows became more intense.

Zuo Yintang said: "This is a group of pirates - professional pirates. These pirates aren't the Caribbean pirates we see in blockbuster movies, they're cute and relatable, and they're so legendary. These are professional pirates, cruel, impudent, brave, and fanatical. If you think they're just a bunch of uncivilized and nasty petty thieves, then you couldn't be more wrong. In fact, they are well-trained and internally follow a strict set of rules and regulations, the laws of the sea, and the tenets of warfare. Of course, as pirates, they mainly attack merchant fleets at sea, but, if they can, they also shift the battlefield to land. ”

Chen Xiangmei interjected and asked: "However, in the area of Qilin Mountain and Sea, I have never heard of pirates." ”

Jia Saihua sneered: "Captain Chen, pirates don't have a fixed base, where there is treasure, there is their base." ”

Chen Xiangmei immediately understood, her beautiful apple face turned red, and she stopped talking.
