Chapter 213 Side Strike

A big pot was set up under the wall, lighting the firewood below, and some big pots were thrown into the waste oil scraped from the platform slide. The shipyard has now built several slides on the platform for ships to get up and off the platform. In order to reduce the friction between the slide and the hull, a lot of whale fat is applied to the slide each time. After that, the boat people were reluctant to waste this waste oil, so they scraped it up and put it in a bucket to continue to use it next time.

Now the waste oil has been transported, and some whale oil has been added to the cauldron from the warehouse, heat it with fire, and when needed, lift it on the wall with a large barrel, cover the face and pour it down, and burn the enemies who attack under the wall. If necessary, you can also light a fire to create a fire barrier to prevent the enemy from approaching the wall.

But after all, oil is too valuable. Even if this sea wolf is rich, it can't withstand such a toss, so more large pots are filled with seawater. After boiling, it can also be poured down and hot, but it can't be ignited to help ignited.

In a word, in order to ensure the safety of this village, Yu Xiaotian brainstormed and made quite full preparations in the village in advance. He basically used all the things he could think of and have the conditions to get out. In some places, he even built wooden racks and hung some simple but practical wolf tooth pats and Yecha, waiting, waiting for the old man Chu Cai to come down and die.

Chu Cailao can be said to be basically ignorant of these preparations for the sea wolf. He continues to work with his old experience. When he has always led his men to attack the city and plunder the fortress, he was unprepared. Few people predicted their arrival in advance, so generally, the fortresses they attacked were not If you are not fully prepared, you will often be broken by them more easily.

But today they met an opponent they had never met. The sea wolf has been waiting for them to come over for a long time and made all the preparations they can do in advance. This time they want to experience what is called difficult bones.

Mr. Chu Cai observed the two stockades of the sea wolf. Relatively speaking, the area of the stockade in the commercial warehouse area is much smaller than that of the big village, and the wall is not as strong as the big village. However, Chu Cai Lao did not like the stockade of this commercial warehouse area, because according to his understanding, although there are many businesses in the commercial stack area, he got it from him at this time. According to the intelligence, the merchants in the warehouse area have already left and transferred valuable goods in advance, so although it can't be said that there is no oil and water in the warehouse area, it is certain that the oil and water are not big enough.

And what he is most concerned about now is the sea wolf casting its own cannon. According to his understanding, the sea wolf's cannon should be in the north of the village, which is integrated with the sea wolf village. In addition, there must be other oil and water in the sea wolf village. As long as the sea wolf village is taken down, the so-called commercial warehouse area is actually equivalent to losing its dependence. Even if no one is sent to attack, the sea wolf troops guarding inside will collapse immediately.

Therefore, after thinking about it, he decided to give up attacking the commercial stack area and go all out to take down the sea wolf's big village first, so he left a small number of people to keep an eye on the commercial stack area, and the rest of his troops were all devoted to the direction of the sea wolf's big village.

Under the command of Chu Cai Lao, a large group of subordinates began to carry their various weapons and siege equipment, moved south, bypassed the business warehouse area, and resumed their assembly in the southeast of the wolf cave.

With the order of old Chu Cai, nearly 2,000 of Mr. Chu Cai's men suddenly made a earth-earth roar, and more than a dozen groups of people immediately howled, cheering themselves up, lifting the temporary shields and long ladders, and rushing towards the sea wolf village.

A group of people raised the big shield made of thick logs, lowered their bodies, and moved forward hard. More Chu Cai's old men howled, holding weapons in their hands or carrying thick long ladders, hiding behind these big shields, like a group of snails, squirming outside the big village. Moving, he slowly pushed towards the sea wolf village.

Behind the big shield are their concentrated firemen and crossbowmen. These people were ordered to rely on the big shields in front of them and go straight to the outside of the sea wolf village, using these simple weapons in their hands to suppress the sea wolves on the wall and support other guys to attack the wall to capture the big village.

Meng Fei got up early in the morning and prepared to fight with Boss Chu Cai with his men. He thought that Chu Cai had been tossed by him all night last night. He should have been angry. He must send someone to revenge on him this morning, so he got up early in the morning and greeted his men in the business warehouse area to do it. Well, prepare for all kinds of battles.

However, when he saw Chu Cai's old man taking people around the business stack area and focusing all his targets on Dazhai, Meng Fei's nose was crooked by Chu Cai's old age this time. He stood on the wall of the village and shouted at Chu Cai's men in the distance. He almost scolded all the vicious words he could think of, but he couldn't do it. The old men came.

When he saw that Chu Cai's men began to bypass the business stack area in groups and force them in the direction of Dazhai, ignoring their business stack area, leaving only a small number of people scattered far away to monitor the business stack area, Meng Fei had no choice.

So he greeted his men and observed the distance of Chu Cailao's men closest to them. He judged that the guys were just on the edge of the effective range of the two six-pound guns on their side, but they were still within the longest range of their six-pound guns, so the guy stopped jumping and scolded and immediately ordered two six pounds. The gunners began to load and aim, aiming at Chu Cailao's men who were trying to wipe them by.

This is not enough. Meng Fei also ordered to carry two six-pound guns from other places and fight together on the wall, trying to provoke Chu Cai's old soldiers, and let Chu Cai's old soldiers deal with their business stack area and relieve the pressure on the side of the village.

At this point, Meng Fei can indeed be regarded as a conscientious person. He is not afraid of war and is always taking the initiative to find a way to fight. Yu Xiaotian ordered him not to lead troops to attack without authorization, so he used this method to take the initiative to fight.

Before Chu Cai's men approached Dazhai, the fort on the other side of the commercial warehouse began to fight first. The two six-pound cannons fired alternately and hit the crowd of Chu Cai Lao's men with solid bullets.

The effective range of the six-pound gun is about 400 meters. The accuracy within 400 meters can basically be guaranteed, and it will not be too far, but after more than 400 meters, the accuracy is more problematic. Chu Cai's men are just 400 meters away, so the shell flew over. After that, it is often low or high, and there are more deviations from the target, which is not a great threat to Chu Cai's men.

But after a few cannons, the gunner still found a feeling that a shell still fell unexpectedly and accurately in a group of old men.

Solid bullets are no better than explosive grenades in later generations. Grenades kill enemies by shrapnel and shock waves, but solid shells can only kill enemies by the kinetic energy of shells. If they directly collide with the enemy, they can cause effective killing. However, because the shells of this era are smoothbore guns, they are all round. After the shells fall to the ground, In the past, it would be bounced up by the ground and continue to fly forward after colliding with the ground, which is the so-called bouncing effect. Before the shell exhausts kinetic energy, everything blocking in front of the shell will be destroyed unless there is a strong enough obstacle to stop it.

However, the human body is too fragile for nearly five catties of shells. After the shell fell among the old people of Chu Cai, it immediately bounced up and continued to fly forward. It only smashed a stone on the ground. Two old Chu Cai's old men who blocked the cannonball from advancing, and one person was cut off on the spot. One thigh was torn into two sections.

After the man who broke his thigh fell to the ground, he found that he had lost a leg. A lot of blood was spewing out of the broken leg. Then he hugged the broken leg and howled all over the ground and shouted, "Help! Help me! Save..."

However, his screams did not attract more attention. At this time, those accomplices were highly nervous, and no one looked down at him, stepped over his body and continued to walk in the direction of Dazhai.

As for the guy who was cut off by the shell, he had a better life. Although his death was very miserable and his intestines and stomach flew everywhere, after his upper body fell to the ground, he only twitched a few times and burped on the spot.

However, what is surprising is that the lethal effect caused by this shell is not only that. Chu Cai asked his men to bypass the south of the commercial warehouse area, but the ground in this area is mostly made of rocks, and the ground is free of sand, which is very hard. After the cannonball falls on this slate, the bounce effect is very good and can bounce continuously and continue to fly many times. Not to mention that after the shell landed, it still stirred up a lot of gravel on the ground. These gravel flew out on all sides and actually produced the effect of scattered bombs.

Under the gravel flying, several unlucky people were tricked on the spot. They were either cut off a piece of meat or embedded into their bodies by gravel. Although they could not kill them on the spot, they immediately fell to cry and screamed.

Seeing that several of the unlucky accomplices were knocked down, the rest of the gangs were suddenly scared and began to mess up and walk away one after another for fear that another shell would be their turn to be unlucky next.

"Good! Haha! Just fight like this! Give me more bombs to death! Grandma's Chu actually turned a blind eye to us. She didn't pay attention to us and beat me so hard that his mother couldn't recognize them!" Meng Fei observed the effect of the shelling with a telescope. When he saw the effect of the shelling, he grinned behind his ear and shouted repeatedly.
