Chapter 283 The hostages save themselves
Coulson's henchman Charles turned around and walked towards the interrogation room, he was not going to completely blindly follow Coulson's orders, because he also had his own ambitions. This should not exist among the Templars, who were orderly, respectful, and humble. So, Charles in the past, never showed. But now, it seems that Coulson doesn't have much to live, and he doesn't need to worry about it anymore. Unlike Coulson, he had always thought that the junior officers of the ten companies should not stay here, but should be sent back to the church together.
Now that times have changed, the fighting ideas of the church troops have fallen behind, and if they continue to maintain it, they will face a great disadvantage in the face of the company. Charles believes that these ten junior officers are the key to the church's tactical reform. As long as they are sent back, brainwashed well, and relying on these ten people, the church can train batch after batch of troops using corporate tactics. Moreover, he believed that if his ideas were escalated, he would be rewarded by the church. He used to be afraid of Coulson's embarrassment, but now there is no one to stop him.
As long as these ten people can be brought back to the church, he will not only not be reprimanded, but will even be promoted. Charles wasn't wasting his time all these years, and here he knew a hidden natural passage to go around to the other side, where there was a small boat he had quietly set up, enough to support him to escape. Once ashore, he will be able to find a ship and return to Europe. However, the people of these churches, including Charles, underestimated these fighters in the company.
They made three mistakes, one was that they should not have put the daggers in front of the company's soldiers, and the other was that they should not have left only ten of them in the interrogation room, without even a single person to guard them. The third, and most beaten, mistake was that the stool that tied them up was not fixed to the ground so that they could move. The warriors don't honestly stare at their own people, and if they can't keep these pirates in place, they will take them hostage, or even take them on their backs.
They don't put their lives on someone else, even if it's their comrade. As soon as Coulson and the others left, their minds came alive. On the table not far in front of them, there were a few daggers that Coulson was going to use to scare and torture them, and the warriors worked together to get one warrior to come to the table, a total of five daggers, three of which were in their hands. Three warriors were rubbing their daggers to cut through the ropes that bound their hands.
Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, they immediately plunged their daggers into the waistbands of their trousers. Charles came in and went straight to untying them. Charles was going to take the men away, so he couldn't tie them anywhere except for the necessary hands. Because the battle was already in full swing ahead, Charles also felt a strong sense of urgency in his heart. So, he didn't examine it a little more carefully at all. This left a foreshadowing for his death.
The warriors tacitly took the dagger and quietly walked to the back and continued to use the dagger to untie it. And the fighters in front of him are constantly doing all kinds of things to stall for time and attract Charles's attention. Charles had several short muskets in his hand, and they didn't dare to provoke him too much, but at least the delay was okay. Charles was not yet at the end of his rope, and he thought that he would bring as many instructors back to Europe as possible, so that his credit would be greater.
Therefore, Charles was not willing to kill them casually.
"Ouch, my foot is twisted, I can't walk!
"Boy, don't pretend to me, I don't care if your foot is really twisted or not, as long as you're not dead, you have to get me up and keep walking. ”
......
Under the constant delay of their comrades, the three warriors finally cut all the ropes in the center of the path planned by Charles. However, they did not have any weapons in their hands. They quietly clicked behind the backs of several fighters in front of them, and in a unique frequency of Morse code, sent their messages. A few fighters jumped forward and rolled on the ground. Charles, who was walking in front of him, felt it at once, and turned around and kicked a few fighters.
But this time, they didn't get up after a dozen kicks. Running out of patience, Charles angrily drew a short fire and fired at a warrior's thigh. Before he could speak, he felt like he had been hit three times in a row, and without the help of his hands, he was hit a few steps forward at most. But this time, he felt like he was being pressed down by his hands. As soon as his head reacted to the troops, three daggers had already pierced his throat, heart, and waist.
Charles was pressed by the three fighters and convulsed a few times, and then he was silent. He was too careless, and he was too confident, just alone, insisting on taking ten people with him, and he hadn't searched them beforehand, and he didn't even know that they had hidden three daggers on his body. Having determined Charles's death, the three warriors immediately got up and began to untie their companions. Everyone gathered around the only wounded fighter to check on him. The musket hit him in the thigh and, fortunately, did not hit the major arteries and nerves.
Pain is pain, but as long as he is treated in time and effectively, his life will not be in danger, and he will not have the possibility of mutilation.
"Ensign Kyle, what do we do now?"
The warriors naturally turned their gaze to the highest-ranking man here, and Kyle was a little hairy as well. He was just an ordinary second lieutenant officer, and it was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he was a little afraid to speak. If something goes wrong, the chances of these ten people surviving are slim. The safest thing to do is to keep going, Charles's intention to take them away is very obvious, there must be another exit here. They just had to keep walking and wait until the battle was over before coming out.
However, Kyle, they don't know if anyone else knows about this path. They had no weapons, only three daggers, two short muskets, a long musket, and a machete recovered from Charles's body. These weapons can't give them much resistance power. Not more, as long as five pirates with muskets escape, they will be in big trouble. Kyle was so furious by everyone that he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and decided to fight.
As long as he dares to fight, he believes that there is always a glimmer of life.
"So, Small, you take Massa and go inside. Massa is injured and has no combat strength, so you take him to find a place to hide. The long musket gives you self-defense, we haven't come back and you don't show up easily. ”
"Good!"
"For the rest of us, we'll all lurk back and see if we can find a chance to deal with a few of the routs. Note that we need to collect some pirate clothes first and blend in with them. It's best to join forces with our comrades who have come to our rescue and take out these pirates as quickly as possible. ”
"Yes!"
Kyle set off with the remaining seven men, groping all the way back, discovering the rooms of the two pirates, and successfully finding several sets of pirate clothes, without the conspicuous company uniform, the possibility of being attacked by pirates in this panic situation is reduced. At this time, the five mortars that Dawn wanted had already arrived. Before, they were afraid that the entire cave would collapse, so they didn't bring cannons. Since the pirates have all used their heavy fists, it means that this place can carry the artillery.
If hit directly at a wall, a solid shell is more powerful than a mortar. However, Dawn didn't know that if they really let the cannonballs hit the wall, there would definitely be problems. Especially at this close range, the power of the heavy punch style is enough to make them start to drop stones on their heads. Fortunately, because of the timely attack of the fighters, the ten guns did not hit the rock wall. Five mortars, it didn't take long to come in and assume it.
The focus is on the thick defensive points where the pirates are concentrated, and the mortars have some restrictions here. In order not to hit the top directly, the angle should not be too high, which causes the situation that cannot be hit in some places. But this is not a problem, the mortar fire, the dust that stirs up just provides cover for the fighters. Dawn made a quick decision and stepped forward directly with his own group. Suddenly bypassing a defensive point, the pirates inside were startled and sent to hell with a few bullets in a daze.
The other fighters followed suit, advancing more than fifty meters at once, from occupying a third of the hall to occupying half of the hall. The pirates were hit by such a blow, their defense was reduced, and their morale began to decline at an accelerated rate. Coulson They kept lifting the Hall M1819 for design, but because of the suppression of the machine gun, they could only fight once in a few minutes, and most of them could only injure the fighters, and if they wanted to die, they didn't know how lucky they were.
In this situation, they can't escape even if they want to. The last passage couldn't leave the ground, at least they thought it wouldn't. Even if you enter, you will have a few seconds to fully reveal your body. At this time, whether it is the front chest or the back, as long as it is exposed, there is no possibility of survival. The pirates are desperate, it is impossible to surrender, they are pirates, only their peers and armies will come to attack. Peers are even more cruel than the army, either kill them all directly, or take them as slaves, life is better than death.
The army will at least give them a chance to judge, and if the crime is not serious, they will stay in prison for more than ten years or a few years. Kyle and the others took advantage of this time to finally get to this place slowly. Even, they already have weapons. Every pirate was armed, and a new batch of Hall M1819s was acquired, and they left the extra muskets in the back quarters.
