Chapter Sixty-Three: Destroy the Great Pirate Warband

Of course, unless it is a last resort, Ye Tianlong will not let these untrained people go up to fight these fierce pirates, after all, once these untrained people go to the battlefield, the casualties will definitely be small, and then he will have to find a way to recruit a new batch, and he will have to pay a lot of money to the Baron Sol, after all, these people are nominally the people under his rule! And Ye Tianlong was originally recruited in the name of hiring people, if there were a lot of casualties, it would be strange if that Baron Sol didn't take the opportunity to blackmail!

Ye Tianlong was discussing tactics with several other team members at this time, after all, there were a lot of those pirates, and they couldn't be brutal this time.

After discussion, everyone decided to put those pirates closer, after all, the six cannons equipped by their own side are extremely primitive front-loading guns, the rate of fire is very low, and the shots are all solid bullets, not flowering shells, the lethality is not good, the accuracy is not good, if the cannon is fired from a distance, just rely on them as amateur gunners, then it is good luck to be able to kill more than a dozen enemies, and it is easy for the enemy to discover the threat of artillery in advance, and choose to disperse forward, Instead of assembling into a phalanx of three hundreds, as it is now, attacked.

In addition to artillery, the accuracy of the flintlock rifles used by those armed civilians on their side is actually not very good, and most of those armed civilians have only fired a few shots in the training ground, so they have barely learned how to aim, shoot and load, and they are still 108,000 miles away from becoming the sharpshooter! Because those flintlock rifles, which were not very accurate in the first place, fell into the hands of these half-baked soldiers, and their hit rate was even more unexpected.

That's why Ye Tianlong and the others decided to put the enemy close to a distance of about fifty meters before starting, at such a close distance, plus all the soldiers fired a salvo, they could always get a few shots!

And those artillery pieces are also ready to shoot scattered bullets, after Ye Tianlong made several improvements and improvements to this artillery before, so that it can play both large solid bullets and small steel ball scattered bullets, but if it is a scattered bullet, its effective killing distance will be greatly reduced, after testing in the case of firing scattered bullets, its effective killing distance is only seventy or eighty meters, so this time they are also prepared to wait for the enemy to reach within fifty meters before firing like those riflemen.

When the time comes, artillery, flintlock rifles and grenades will be greeted together, and those pirates will be defeated and disabled in the first round, so that the other side will not even have a chance to react.

And if this method of play is adopted, Ye Tianlong and they will have to withstand the enemy's arrow rain for a period of time, and fortunately, the enemy they encountered this time is Haikou, if they encounter a lawless person like the Green Forest Bandit, who is full of archers, then it is called bad!

Compared with the wild monsters of the green forest bandits, although there are archers among these pirates, but the number is not much, among the large pirate war group of more than 300 people, the archers are only more than 40 people, but they look good in strength and equipment, most of them are equipped with longbows, some are obviously small boss level and even equipped with war bows, and the arrows are also used barbed arrows and cone-headed arrows, which are good arrows with greater lethality, even if Ye Tianlong is wearing heavy armor, After being hit by that wave of arrows before, many of them successfully broke through the armor, and the damage caused to Ye Tianlong and them, although this damage is not high! But the accumulation of a small amount is still enough to grind them to death.

This is just a small number of archers among the pirates, if they continued to get closer at that time and entered the strike range of the opponent's throwing weapons, Ye Tianlong suspected that even if he was a master of Ming Jin, he might be killed by the other party in just a few seconds, after all, although the range of those throwing weapons is much closer than that of bows and crossbows, and the general effective range is only twenty or thirty meters, but their basic damage value and armor-piercing ability are far more than those of bows and arrows. And those pirates are basically equipped with a bag of javelins or throwing axes, and if more than 200 people throw and strike together, the firepower density will be extremely terrifying, especially when these NPCs have improved their combat IQ a lot and know how to predict, their hit rate is definitely much higher than in the original game. Even if he is a master of transformation like Li Rufeng, if he rushes into his military formation, he will be severely injured by the javelins and throwing axes that are flying from the sky.

When Ye Tianlong and the others discussed the tactics and began to make corresponding arrangements, those pirates had successfully approached about one hundred and fifty meters away from the camp at this time, and the archers among the pirates opened their bows and arrows one by one under the cover of their teammates, aiming at the people in the camp and began to throw arrows.

Seeing this, Ye Tianlong and the others hurriedly asked everyone to raise their shields for defense, but fortunately, shields and other equipment that are also consumables, Ye Tianlong and they have also made and hoarded a lot before, and at this time, they can basically do a steel shield for each person. As the rain of arrows fell, the collision of arrows and shields suddenly made a clanging sound, but it did not cause any casualties, but only made the atmosphere in the camp more tense, after all, the sound of arrows constantly hitting the shield seemed to be a signal, telling everyone that the battle had officially begun.

"Hold it all for me! Don't shoot! Ye Tianlong helped several people load a large number of steel ball bombs into the cannon, and at the same time comforted the armed people next to him, so as to prevent someone from firing in advance and disrupting their arrangement.

Under the appeasement of Ye Tianlong and others, those armed men all obediently hid behind the bunker and did not fire rashly.

And this situation made the morale of the other party's pirates even higher, after all, in their opinion, the other side was obviously frightened by their huge military strength, and they didn't even dare to fight back.

And the pirate king Abaddon was not surprised by this situation at all, after all, according to Potts, there were not a few regular soldiers in the camp at all, and the only formed armed force, that is, dozens of armed men who had just been armed, had extremely poor morale and training, and even the number of soldiers under his command was more than the total population of the other camp, and it was normal for the other party to be frightened by his huge military strength.

Because the enemy didn't fight back at all, the speed of the pirates' advance couldn't help but increase, and one by one they wanted to rush into the camp and plunder.

Soon, the pirates were only about a hundred meters away from the camp, and at this distance, the archers of the pirates under the cover of their teammates shot arrows became more and more powerful, and the shield in the hand of a man not far from Ye Tianlong was accidentally shaken open by a cone-headed arrow, and then the sharp cone-headed arrow was like a slippery loach, drilled through the gap between the shields, and plunged into the man's thigh.

This cone-headed arrow has a strong ability to pierce armor, directly piercing the chain mail skirt armor that the man had just changed, and wounded his thigh, but fortunately, the layer of chain mail also reduced part of its strength, so this arrow only caused some skin trauma, and the man snorted and even insisted on standing in place with the shield in place, and did not fall down.

However, Ye Tianlong will not let the wounded continue to fight, anyway, in addition to the fifty armed people, there are more than 100 ordinary people! It's enough to help them fight. So seeing this, Ye Tianlong immediately called two peasant women and asked them to help the injured man back to the warehouse in the rear to clean and bandage the wounds.

And by the time Ye Tianlong asked the injured man to take him down, those pirates were already about fifty meters away from the camp, and above this distance, there was the first layer of barbed wire that he had just pulled up as the outermost line of defense of the camp.

The pirates did not dare to break directly into the barbed wire fence full of sharp blades and spikes, but prepared to use the weapons in their hands to cut off these obstructive things before moving on.

And Ye Tianlong took advantage of the opportunity of these pirates being blocked by those barbed wire, and loudly gave the order to counterattack.

Suddenly, the six cannons that had already been loaded were the first to be pushed out from the three directions of the camp, and with a loud thunderous sound, large pieces of scattered steel balls suddenly shot out from the muzzles of the cannons, fanning out towards the pirates who were crowded in front of the barbed wire like a goddess scattering flowers.

The chain mail on the frontmost pirates was simply unable to resist the scattered bullets fired by the cannons, and blood immediately burst out on their bodies, and then they fell down with a wail.

Before the newly fallen pirates could breathe, the improvised catapults in the camp threw grenades that had ignited their fuses at them.

Because of the crude production process, these grenades exploded at different times, some of them landed for a few seconds before exploding, and some of them exploded in mid-air, which caused those pirates to be bombarded almost in all directions up and down, left and right, and a large number of elite pirates were knocked down by the sharp iron nails and pieces of iron that exploded.

Finally, the armed men armed with flintlock rifles stood up from behind the bunker amid the shouts of Ye Tianlong and the others, and pulled the trigger on the surviving pirates who were still standing.

And after this round of gun shooting by the armed people, the scene suddenly fell into a short silence, because Ye Tianlong and they suddenly found that after this series of fierce firepower like a storm, it seemed that there was no longer a standing Haikou on the opposite side.

After a few seconds, a few faint screams sounded in the messy corpse pile opposite, which finally woke Ye Tianlong and them.

"Immediately reload, bayonet, after loading, a team of five people, start cleaning the battlefield, rifle the corpses one by one, unless the other party takes the initiative to surrender, otherwise do not be soft, after all, these are murderous, murderous without blinking an eye!"

Under Ye Tianlong's order, the armed men immediately began to reload the flintlock rifles in their hands, and then even pulled out the sharp bayonets at their waists and loaded them on the rifles.

And the ordinary people in some of their positions later began to reload those guns with ammunition and grenades from those catapults, ready to provide heavy fire support to their comrades in front of them.

It wasn't until Ye Tianlong left the bunker with the first team of armed men and began to slowly approach the battlefield in front of the corpses that everyone in the camp finally realized a little slowly at this time that they had won this battle so easily, and more than 300 well-equipped pirates were wiped out in the blink of an eye, so fast that they didn't even have time to react.
