Chapter 218 Chu Cai's Treasure

Although Yu Xiaotian has not given any orders since the beginning of the war, he has always stood on the arrow tower, motionless like a statue.

And his existence has indeed brought a sense of security to his men. His subordinates have been used to his existence. As long as they see his figure, these men will feel a kind of comfort. Although Yu Xiaotian did nothing, he told these sea wolves that he and they Together, right beside them.

If there is such a person standing with them, what else is there to be afraid of?

Also outside the stockade, Mr. Chu Cai also stood far away from the stockade, looking in the direction of the stockade, and slowly paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. The blue veins on his forehead jumped, like a sleepy beast, full of anxiety.

Half an hour has passed since he ordered to attack the village. The sound of sea wolves' cannons has not stopped since the beginning. From time to time, dust and smoke can be seen on the battlefield outside the fortress. His men surged up, but they were like the tide beating on the reef, scattered into Red waves.

Things are obviously much more difficult than he thought. He can see that his men have tried their best today, but they have encountered a very difficult bone.

The preparation of the sea wolf village is much more than he expected, and the firepower of the sea wolf is very sharp, which is beyond doubt. From a distance, you can clearly see the large and small fire lights flashing from the wall of the sea wolf village from time to time. These lights are flames spewing from the muzzle and gun mouth, and the smoke is constantly coming from the wall of the big village. It rose and permeated the sky over the village.

And he can also hear the dense sound of cannons from afar. Although there are many of the firing sounds of his men, those dense cannons like explosive beans can't be emitted by his men.

This shows that there are a considerable number of "birds" in the hands of the sea wolf. In the past, he was not very interested in birds, and he had also played with this thing. He felt that this thing was a good thing. Although it was not close, it was not accurate and not very powerful. The most important thing was that it consumed gunpowder. Filling is also very troublesome. It takes a long time to start another fire, even as good as three eyes.

And this thing often can't be used. It can't be used when it rains, it's too damp, and it can't be easily used at night. Once the enemy is brought close to you, this thing is just a fire stick. Whoever holds this thing can only wait to be slaughtered.

So he would rather have three-eyed guns than want more of this thing. In his early years, he once had a deal with the Buddha machine man and wanted to buy some cannons from the Buddha machine man, but the Buddha machine man did not want to sell him cannons, but he was willing to sell him some of their birds. However, Chu Cai Lao refused such a business and felt that the birds The crossbow is not very useful, and it is not as convenient as the crossbow.

But today, when he listened to the rows of birds on the wall of the sea wolf village, he seemed to feel that he might be wrong. This Yu should be familiar with firearms and equipped his men with so many birds. This thing should not be as bad as he thought, and he kept hearing the misery of his subordinates from him. The cry also showed that his men suffered a lot of casualties under the stockade at this time.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have a telescope on hand, which can effectively observe the situation of the battlefield. He can only vaguely see that the battlefield seems to be very lively.

He looked at his people seemed to be blocked from the wall and could not reach the bottom of the wall for such a long time. For such a long time, even a long ladder was not erected, which meant that the men in front of him were in trouble.

Mr. Chu Cai walked back and forth for a long time, and suddenly stopped, gritted his teeth and ordered his opponent: "Take the two Hongyi cannons up and set them up for me to attack them! Be sure to blow up their fortress! I don't believe it. I can't take this big village down!"

The men quickly agreed and greeted a large group of people and quickly began to work. Yesterday afternoon, when they landed, they tried to unload the two Hongyi cannons on their ship to the shore through the raft, but this thing was really too heavy, each of which was more than 2,000 catties with the gun, and There are only four small wooden wheels in the gun rack, which is very difficult to move.

These two cannons are also five Hongyi cannons that Chu Cailao bought from Folang Jiren before. They have always been regarded as the treasure of Zhenzhai by Chu Cailao. This time, in order to deal with Yu Xiaotian, he brought two cannons with the ship, and the remaining three gates and two gates were left on the ship, and one of which was left in Dazhai on Dongshan Island.

And these two guns are really good. They are 18-pound guns, with an effective range of one kilometer and even four kilometers. They have always been regarded as a treasure by Chu Cai and sent people to serve them carefully.

However, today, Chu Cai had to invite them out in order to take down the sea wolf village. When he began to attack the village just now, he still had a certain fantasy and didn't want to use these two Hongyi cannons easily. But now when he saw his men being beaten outside the sea wolf village, he saw that he was about to be defeated. When there were signs, he no longer had any illusions and ordered to push the two cannons up and join the ranks of the siege.

In addition to these two cannons, Mr. Chu Cai also unloaded some large boxes from the ship and sent them up. A clear-eyed person can see at a glance that these big boxes are actually a kind of firearms of the Ming Dynasty in this era, that is, a famous swarm of bee rockets.

In order to deal with the officers and soldiers on the shore, or some fiercely resist Zhuangbao, Chu Cai has stored quite a swarm of rockets through self-made or procurement over the years. Compared with artillery, the production of this kind of thing is simpler and the consumables are easier to obtain. The key is as long as the question of gunpowder is solved. The question can be produced.

Usually, Chu Cai is always reluctant to take out so many swarms of bees to deal with a Zhuangbao. Often when necessary, take two boxes over. Once it starts to launch, it can have a good effect on deterring the enemy. However, today, Chu Cai can't take care of so much and ordered dozens of such things from the ship. Bei also sent it up and gave it a good look to the sea wolf.

But just as Mr. Chu Cai planned to take out the powerful guy at the bottom of the box, there had been great changes in the previous war.

Although Chu Cai's men were quite heroic just now, they were fruitless after a series of successive attacks. On the contrary, after being beaten outside the wall, these Chu Cai's men finally couldn't stand it. They saw that the brothers in front of them were knocked to the ground by the sea wolf, but they always When they couldn't get close to the wall, many people finally couldn't stand it.

First of all, some people rushed around and couldn't move forward. They wandered back and forth at a distance of about 100 meters and dared not come forward, but they still kept being knocked to the ground by the sea wolf's stings, so they didn't know who picked up their heads. These old men suddenly shouted. He began to retreat, and the shopkeepers mixed among them could not stop him, so he had to retreat together surrounded by the crowd.

As the saying goes, defeat is like a mountain. Once one party is frustrated and loses their fighting spirit, it is basically impossible to stop them from retreating. The more people there are, the more chaotic this situation will be. Today, Chu Cai has overwhelmed more than 2,000 people. When they are defeated, not two people can It was blocked.

The remaining old men collapsed almost suddenly. First, more than a dozen people turned around and fled, then drove dozens of people to run, and then developed into hundreds of people who were driven to run together. In the end, the remaining guys also suddenly lost confidence, and all of them followed Go back up and back.

When they came, they lingered, but once they ran, their legs and feet were not slow at all. More than 2,000 people retreated like the tide. In a short time, they ran two miles away.

What's more ridiculous is that when they were defeated, the sea wolves did not launch any pursuit of them, so they retreated like this, but these Chu Cai's men still ran in panic one by one. Some people even just cared about running for their lives and even threw the guys in their hands to the battlefield, just like that He fled back empty-handed.

Looking at the open space outside the sea wolf village, there is a strong smell of blood and a fishy smell. From far to near, the dead and injured people under old Chu Cai's hands are lost, and complete or broken shields and long ladders are thrown away everywhere, and even several artillery cannons were thrown outside the wall by old Chu Cai's men. .

Especially at a distance of about dozens of meters outside the wall, there is a layer of Chu Cai's old men's corpses and wounded. Many people can't die for a while after being injured, so they just lie on the ground and howling, with a whole scene of a nose hell.

Some of the wounded were unwilling to die here. They tried their best to crawl back, leaving blood stains behind them, and some of the slightly injured saw their accomplices fleeing away. Looking for help, they struggled to get up and stumbled with some guns or knives to support their bodies back.

But how could the sea wolf's troops let them go like this? Li's big mouth made some of his sharpshooters call the old men on the battlefield one by one to the Chu Cai's men who were struggling to escape. It was almost the sound of gunfire. Immediately, a blood fog rose behind the wounded of Chu Cai's old men and fell down. On the ground, after a few struggles, he was silent.

Someone roughly took a look at the casualties of Chu Cai's men outside the stockade. Although it was only a rough estimate, they still found that in this battle, their sea wolves still killed and injured nearly 200 old Chu Cai's men, and this number could only be higher and could not be low.

Looking at the loss in the sea wolf village, after the inventory, the statistics came up and reported to Yu Xiaotian. Yu Xiaotian learned that only four of his men were killed in this battle, most of them were hit by arrows or scattered bombs fired by Chu Cai's old men. He died incurable death.

The wounded were less than 20 people, seven of whom were seriously injured, and the rest were mostly minor injuries, and even others did not even lose their combat effectiveness. After slightly cleaning up the wound and dressing, they returned to the team and returned to the wall.

The exchange of casualties between the two sides is 10 to one, which is not an exaggeration to call it a big victory. When Chu Cai's men retreated, there was a thunderous cheer from the wall, and even the sea wolves on the side of the commercial stack area in the northeast also cheered loudly.

(Thank you for the reward of the Eagle Martial Arts Brothers! Ha ha!)
