Chapter 59: The Second Battle of Castle (1)
There were no war drums, no horns.
After the pirate army was assembled, it began to attack the two Castles in five waves.
The largest wave was mainly attacking the southern part of the Second Castle, with nearly 2,000 men, and the western part of the 1,000-strong was made up of three pirate teams.
There are more than 500 people in the north and east, and the last 500 pirate elites are waiting for an opportunity in the rear, if there is a slight trace of the Second Castle being breached, they will definitely be able to take the Second Castle in one fell swoop.
Su Ming found the best firing position on the west wall, and saw that the pirates were only two hundred paces away from him, and the sound of machine guns on the south wall had already sounded.
Su Ming saw that the large army of pirates outside the western wall stayed 200 steps away, and only let more than a hundred people attack the fort wall under the protection of shields.
Su Ming loaded his rifle with a grenade launcher, first firing one at the most crowded place two hundred paces away, and then firing one at the pirates who were close to the Western Wall.
Outside the west wall, the pirates did not expect that there were cannons in Erweibao, two grenades caused them more than 30 casualties, Su Ming picked up a rifle and shot at the pirates near the west, more than 100 pirates came to the fort wall and did not set up a ladder, they lost a small half of the people, at this time the archers on both sides have begun to shoot at each other, the pirates under the city wall continue to scream, and there are also people on the wall of the west castle from time to time who are hit by arrows, but the casualties and pirates are incomparable, just a cup of tea, the pirates died only more than 30 people, they left the bodies of their companions and fled.
Repelling the enemy's first wave of attack, Su Ming saw that he had spent four magazines of ammunition, and the iron pillar had been lying on the fortress wall to give him empty magazines to load bullets, and today he took out half of the bullets he had accumulated in the past two months, a total of more than 2,000 bullets, if the pirates continued to fight regardless of casualties, he could only hold on for a day at most.
Seeing that the pirates in the distance had no intention of launching a second wave of attacks, Su Ming picked up his gun and came to Li Lin's position in the south of the fort wall, and saw a large pile of bullet casings beside him. The pirates to the south of the fort have also retreated. Su Ming looked at the corpses of pirates outside the fort, there were at least 150 corpses.
"We have to save bullets, at your speed, our bullets can't even resist today." Su Ming saw that there were at least four hundred bullet casings beside Li Lin, and the two soldiers put the loaded magazines beside him.
"Yes, ship... Eighth Master! I try to shoot as much as I can, and destroy one enemy with one bullet! Li Lin said with a smile.
"You kid, try to shoot their leaders later, these ordinary pirates are also poor civilians, kill their leaders, they will naturally be demoralized." Su Mingzheng was talking, seeing that the eldest brother, fifth brother and thirteenth brother were all coming, and they also repelled the first wave of the enemy's attack.
With this shot, the morale of the soldiers was greatly shaken, and the pirates were repulsed as soon as they reached the city walls. What about your casualties there? Su Ren saw that the four city walls had already repelled the enemy, and asked Li Lin and Su Ming with a smile.
"Four people were injured in the Western Wall, and one soldier was seriously injured, but he had already used an emergency kit, and his life was not in danger." Su Ming said.
"I've killed one of my guards, wounded two of my soldiers, and five of my guards." Li Lin said.
Because the pirates on the south wall were attacking too fiercely, there were more guards, so there were more casualties.
"The enemy's casualties are more than ten times ours, now I'll see how the other side responds!" Su Ren said with a smile when he heard this. Ten times the casualties, what is the point of the pirates taking the second Castle?
At this time, the 500 elites in the rear of the pirates moved, and they slowly walked towards the gate of Erweibao, and the pirates who were preparing for the second wave of attacks in front of them all gave way to them, Su Ming saw that among the more than ten people in front of this elite, the man who was surrounded in the middle seemed to be giving orders, he should be the supreme leader of this pirate army.
"Eighth Master, if you find the enemy commander, do you shoot!" Li Lin also found the leader of the other party, he was lying on the fortress wall, the machine gun was aimed at the target, and asked Su Ming.
"Wait, this distance is 350 meters, the hit rate is not too high, wait for him to get closer." Su Ming also lay down as he spoke, set up his rifle and installed the quadruple scope, and aimed it at the target.
Su Ren was also staring at the castle wall at this time, he saw the pirate leader approaching Erwei Castle step by step, and guessed in his heart who the other party might be, could it be the golden-faced Buddha Wood Rong?
"On the city wall, there are two Weibao Su hundred households?" Surrounded by several pirate leaders, Woodwing came to a distance of 300 paces from Fort 2, and they felt that this distance should be a safe distance, and no matter how powerful the fire system was, it was impossible to fight so far.
Su Ren stood up when he heard this, the other party's boss spoke, and he also had to show up. Seeing his brother lying on the ground preparing to shoot, he knew this was an opportunity.
"Dare to ask which side of the hero, my Erweibao has always been careful in doing things, and never dared to offend people, why did he send such a large army to commit crimes?" Su Ren returned.
"I don't need to know who Su Baihu is, my brother died in Erweibao a few days ago, and I don't want to be an enemy of Erweibao today, hand over the murderer who killed my brother Xie Yuan, I will withdraw immediately!
If Su Baihu doesn't hand over people, he will kill Erweibao and leave no armor..."Before Wood Rong could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out.
"Bump!"
Su Ming fired, and a blood splashed from Wood Wing's head, and without waiting for the other party to react, he aimed at the people around Wood Wing and began to shoot, it can be seen that the people around Wood Wing have status, because they are either wearing delicate armor or silk brocade.
Li Lin saw Su Ming start shooting, and he also shot. More than a dozen people around Woodwing fell, and at this time, the pirate elite in the rear reacted, and they came to Woodwing to form a human city wall to send Woodwing and the pirate leaders around him to retreat.
Su Ming knew that the magazines were running out, and seeing that it was difficult for him to inflict lethal damage on these pirate elites wearing armor, he took out a grenade launcher and mounted it on his rifle, and soon a grenade shot towards the pirate elite phalanx.
"Boom!"
The pirate elite fell, and the pirates who lost command were suddenly a little confused, and at this time they knew to retreat for the time being, and wait to see if Woodwing was killed before making a decision.
The pirates retreated, there was a cheer on the wall of Erweibao, and the leader of the other party killed should be the person with a face among the pirates, and on the pirate bounty list of the imperial court, he could not rob the other party's corpse, and he didn't know who the other party was.
"Eighth brother, let's kill their leader, and later the pirates may attack desperately, as long as they hold out until dark, they will most likely withdraw tomorrow." Su Ren spoke about his experience.
"Yes, let Brother Chunrui come up! It's just a day today, and when the pirates attack the city wall, the role of our guns will be much smaller, and it mainly depends on the soldiers.
By the way, let the guards remove all the stones inside the city gates! It is impossible for the other side to storm the city gates, and if they retreat this time, we may be able to counterattack for a while. Su Ming said.
"Good! All the soldiers in armor have climbed the city wall, and today let the pirates see the strength of my two Weibao. Su Ren said happily.
The coastal pirates of Zhejiang and Fujian are powerful, and the imperial court has suffered a big loss, and after the pirates take the coastal towns, they will not stay there forever, their advantage is mobility, and now they are likely to take Songjiang Mansion as the next target.
Although the pirate leader said just now that he was here for revenge, if he wanted to take the entire coastal castle of Songjiang Mansion, he would definitely not only land from Erweibao, but if Erweibao could hold it this time, then the influence of Erweiwei Castle in the entire Jinshan Weier would definitely increase greatly.
The outside of Erweibao suddenly fell silent, all the pirates retreated, and the corpses of the other party were discussing what to do next. Su Ren in the fort gave an order, everyone was ready to meet the enemy, as long as there was one person left, Erwei Fort would not let pirates enter the fort for a single step.
After waiting for more than an hour, Su Ming saw that the five thousand pirates were divided into four parts, of which 500 elites were in the direction of the south wall gate, and the other party was going to launch a general siege of Erweibao, which was a desperate posture.
The art of war besieged the city and besieged one of the three, and the pirates attacked from all sides from the beginning, and it can be seen that they wanted to annihilate the two Weibao and did not want to let one go.
"Li Lin, try to shoot the enemy's vital points, kill the opponent's leader, I will have someone bring you 20 grenades, these 500 pirate elites are not easy to deal with." Su Ming saw that the Western Wall pirates he let go had begun to attack, and he said to Li Lin beside him.
"Eighth Master, I know, I promise to complete the task!" Li Lin said very simply.
Returning to his position, Su Ming set up his 95 rifle and stared at the approaching pirates in the distance. Even if he can destroy an enemy with a single shot, Erweibao's real strength is no match for so many pirates outside, so he must take breaking the enemy's morale as his first task and shoot the opponent's leader as much as possible.
The pirate formation was 300 steps closer to Erweibao, Su Ming saw the direction of the leader of this team, and was behind the shield soldiers, he shot a grenade behind the leader of the other party, the two pirates were blown away, more than a dozen pirates fell to the ground, and the pirate team was chaotic for a while.
Su Ming continued to fire two grenades, and when the opponent's formation was already out of order, he began to use bullets to shoot, trying to eliminate the opponent's seemingly high-status, or strong-rushing fastest person, and soon this pirate team of more than 200 people couldn't help but stop the pace, and after a few breaths, it seemed that someone had retaken command and killed the west fort wall again.
Su Ming now only has more than 40 grenades left, and he gave Li Lin 20, and his grenades don't dare to use them indiscriminately. Seeing that the other party had attacked under the fortress wall, he could already see the pirate's facial features clearly, so he tried his best to shoot the pirate leader, even if the other party was wearing leather armor at such a close distance, Su Ming would be seriously injured if he shot the other party.
One of the fastest pirates in the name of Chong kept falling under the walls of the Second Castle. The pirates in the rear are not afraid of death, they are all elite, and a powerful fire system is not enough to stop them.
This group of pirates had just set up a ladder, and another group of pirates came from a distance to support, they obviously didn't care about casualties this time, Su Ming hurriedly asked the soldiers of the two small flags behind him to prepare, and the bow and arrow shot the stones and rolling wood.
More than 400 people gathered under the west wall of the Second Castle, and in this short space of 200 steps, it seemed very crowded to squeeze so many people. The members of the guards on the city wall threw stones and caused great damage to the other party, and the twenty bows and arrows also caused great casualties to the pirates, but it was Su Ming's rifle that caused the most damage.
