Chapter 62: The Second Battle of Fort Verdea (4)

Back to the south wall, more than ten pirates attacked the castle wall, but Cao Chunrui's pressure was not too big, Su Ming checked through the battlement, and more than twenty archers shot arrows under the south wall, he shot at the other party one by one, and soon there were no more pirate arrows on the south wall of Erweibao.

Using a machine gun to shoot the pirates on the ladders outside the fort wall again, Cao Chunrui led people to push all the ladders out of the wall, and the pressure on the south wall dropped suddenly, and when he saw this, he headed towards the east wall.

The east wall is guarded by the eldest brother, when Su Ming arrived, he saw the eldest brother standing on the castle wall alone with a big knife, and saw that a pirate was afraid of coming up and cutting down the big knife instantly, and the pirate just poked his head out and fell from the wall.

There didn't seem to be many pirate archers under the east wall, and Su Ren only took out his pistol to shoot when the defenders of the city wall were under great pressure, and his highly skilled soldiers were convinced that the pirates couldn't take advantage of him.

Su Ming saw that he found a battlement here, shot more than a dozen archers outside the fort wall one by one, and cleaned up the pirates who were climbing the ladders, and waited until the eldest brother led people to push all the ladders away, he did not greet the eldest brother, and went directly to the north wall two.

The north wall is the most unsuitable for siege, the pressure here is not great, although there is only one team of soldiers, but Su Qingping's martial arts are good, and there are pistols. There seemed to be three or four hundred pirates outside the north wall, but the number of pirates who could attack the city at the same time was very small, and Su Ming also helped the fifth brother clean up the archers outside the lower fort, and returned to the south wall with machine guns.

Everything is fine at the South Wall, and the morale of the pirates seems to be getting lower and lower, and while they still seem to be desperate, there are fewer and fewer pirates killing the fort wall. In addition, the number of pirate archers is getting smaller and smaller, and the stones and rolling logs of Erweibao are becoming more and more powerful, even if Su Ming does not use machine guns, the soldiers of the south wall, under the leadership of Cao Chunrui, began to become more and more confident.

I don't know how long it took, Su Ming turned around and saw that there were more than 300 rounds of ammunition left next to the iron pillar, which was the amount of four magazines for the machine gun in his hand.

Su Ming began to shoot less, only shooting at the pirates behind him when a pirate attacked the fort wall.

Check that Li Lin's state has recovered to 87%, so the time is now ugly, and in less than two hours, the sky will be dawn.

All the soldiers of the Second Fort were exhausted, and many of the walls were exhausted and panting. The guards climbed to the top of the wall to defend, and in some places the young and strong people even became the main force.

The two sides are now fighting to persevere, a large number of untrained civilians climbed the fort wall and were carried down after a while, at this time, if the pirates fought hard, it would be difficult to defend Erweibao, but the pirates' strength seemed to be exhausted.

Seeing that the sky was bright in the east, the wounded soldiers and civilians on the fort wall were lying there moaning in pain, some women in the fort were on the fort wall to transport the wounded, Su Ming saw his 71% status value, the machine gun poked out of the fort wall, and found a leader who was commanding the pirate group, and after a burst of strafing, the siege pirates were disconnected from the rear team.

The pirates in the rear seemed to have no intention of continuing to attack the city, and the pirates in front were killed and retreated again, and finally some pirates couldn't hold on and began to retreat on their own.

The rear pirates killed several pirates who retreated by themselves, Su Ming called the pirates who killed their companions, and soon more and more pirates escaped from outside the south wall, and the situation had become uncontrollable, and the pirate leader in charge of the attack on the south wall could only order a retreat.

On the southern wall of the Second Castle, the soldiers of the Second Castle of Castle cheered and celebrated with the people, they were not attacked by pirates, they held their homeland.

Even if many people left themselves that night, but they succeeded, and that was enough.

Su Ming got up, moved his legs that were a little numb, and saw that there were not many bullets left around the iron pillar, and all the bullets he had accumulated this night were gone, and in the next battle, he was likely to ask those big knives and spears to fight with the enemy.

The stone outside the gate of the south wall has been more than five feet high, and now even if Erwei Fort has the intention of rushing out of the fort to pursue the enemy, it is difficult for people to rush out, and they don't know how many troops they have left, and it is still risky to pursue thousands of pirates.

"Eighth Master, are you okay?" Cao Chunrui's leather armor had dried a lot of blood stains, and she came to Su Ming's side and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, my legs are a little numb, and the other pirates on the other three walls seem to have retreated!" Su Ming said.

"Yes, we guarded!" Cao Chunrui said excitedly.

At this time, Su Ren came over with more than a dozen soldiers, and was relieved to see that Su Ming was not injured.

"We have too few troops, otherwise the pursuit effect will definitely be very good now, I saw just now, the pirates have retreated to the four villages outside the fort, and they should not attack again this morning.

Moreover, the pirates who retreated from the south wall were no more than six hundred, and the pirates around Erweibao would not exceed 2,000, and most of the pirates should have left the Erweibao area, and they should have gone in the direction of Jinshanwei Town. Su Ren said.

This is definitely good news, the pirates withdraw, they will be less and less pressure, as long as the Jinshanwei pirates completely retreat, they will be a great achievement, victory is already beckoning to them.

Soon, Su Qingping and Su Zhe also came to the south wall with their soldiers. Although they suffered heavy losses tonight, everyone was very happy, holding the second Castle they were victorious, after this battle their soldiers and escort strength will inevitably increase, they are very confident in the next battle.

"On the city wall, you will be responsible for disturbing the fifth child, everyone will go home to rest, maybe we will have a battle in the afternoon, you come with me." Su Ren said to Su Ming.

Su Ming got up and went down the fort wall with his eldest brother, and walked in the direction of his own yard, Su Ren obviously had a few wounds on his body, but after a simple bandage, he could withstand the attack of the 5,000 army, which was already a miracle for Erweibao.

"Eighth brother, now that the pirates have withdrawn, even if there are pirates who continue to attack Erwei Fort in the afternoon, it will not be difficult for us to defend it, I plan to send Cao Qi Master and Thirteenth Brother to Jinshanwei Town to have a look. What do you think? Su Ren said.

Although Erweibao has passed the most difficult period, if Jinshanwei Town misses, they can only abandon the fort and flee, and a small Erweibao will not play much role in the face of the general trend.

In case all the guards of Jinshanwei have been broken by pirates, they can only prepare to escape from the sea, in recent years, the pirates have become more and more powerful, and the elite of Jinshanwei has gone to the south of Zhejiang, and there will definitely be no troops to support other guards, so even if he is injured, Su Ren wants to know about the situation of other guards of Jinshanwei.

"Big brother, Brother Chunrui and the thirteenth brother have been fighting for a night in a row, even if they bring guns to break through the pirate blockade and reach Jinshanwei, I have a candidate, and it is more suitable to go to Jinshanwei than anyone else." Su Ming said.

"Who?" Su Ren asked.

"Big brother, do you have a detailed map of the path to Jinshanwei Town, Li Lin rested for the night, and now his state should have recovered, he is completely trustworthy, and the task of exploring Jinshanwei Town will be handed over to him!" Su Ming said.

"He was so seriously injured yesterday, he shouldn't be able to recover today, and it's not so easy to go to Jinshanwei Town." Su Ren said.

"Then you should send him even more, his strength is far from what you see, wait a while you draw a simple map and hand it to me, I will let Li Lin go out of the castle from the secret passage, if everything goes well, he should be able to come back before this evening." Su Ming said.

Su Ren couldn't believe it, but nodded anyway. If Jinshanwei Town is breached, Erweibao will definitely not be able to hold it, and the pirates will drive ordinary soldiers and civilians to use as human shields to consume the strength of the guard, even if Erweibao has enough bullets.

Back home, Su Ming took back all the weapons and equipment from Su Zhe, took it to his room and put all the equipment into the Consciousness Coast Guard ship, and Su Ming summoned Li Lin out.

Li Lin has been in the coast guard ship for more than 9 hours, his state has recovered to 100%, and Su Ming can't help but feel happy when he sees that Li Lin has no wounds all over his body, and he is in good condition.

"How does it feel?" Su Ming looked at Li Lin and asked.

"Captain, it's all right, I feel like I can't finish my whole body." Li Lin said.

When no one is around, Li Lin still likes to call Su Ming the captain.

"There is a task entrusted to you, to investigate the situation of Jinshanwei Town, as well as the number of pirates who entered Jinshanwei this time, and the situation of other guards in Jinshanwei Town." Su Ming said.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Li Linting replied.

"You go out from the secret channel, you know the secret road, the walkie-talkie is in contact at any time, I keep the walkie-talkie on, if you encounter danger, call me directly, and I will summon you back." Su Ming said.

"Yes, Captain!" After Li Lin finished speaking, Su Ming gave him all his equipment, considering that his machine gun was too heavy, Su Ming gave him his rifle, and went out to return the rifle in the eldest brother's hand to him.

The three magazines of the rifle were full of bullets, the pistol bullets were also full, and the subordinates also prepared dry food for travel, Li Lin was taken to the warehouse behind the fort by Su Ren, Su Ming turned on the walkie-talkie, their walkie-talkie Su Ming had already tried, there was no satellite in this era, but there was no problem with talking within a few hundred meters, he suspected that the walkie-talkie had been modified by the coast guard ship, and he would know it if he tried it this time.

After breakfast, Su Ming lay on the bed and put the walkie-talkie next to his pillow, Li Lin would report his safety every ten minutes, and before he knew it, Su Ming fell asleep deeply.

It wasn't until someone knocked on his door at noon that Su Ming woke up and checked that his status was 94%, which showed that he had slept for at least two hours.

"Big brother, have the pirates organized an attack again?" Su Ming opened the door and saw that it was the eldest brother and the thirteenth brother, so he hurriedly asked.

"That's not true. Just now, several groups of pirates withdrew from the villages outside the fort and went in the north and west directions, but there are still many pirates left outside the fort, I estimate that there are still nearly a thousand people, and we suffered a lot of losses last night, even if there are only 1,000 pirates left, they still have the strength to break through our two forts, and it is inconvenient for us to go out of the fort to fight with them. Su Ren said.
