Chapter 220 Threat
But what made Chu Cailao even more angry was that when he collected the defeated soldiers and killed hundreds of soldiers to rectify his subordinates, the door of the sea wolf village quietly opened.
A group of sea wolves rushed out of the fortress and rushed to the battlefield. They did not go to catch those injured old men, like a group of rags. They quickly picked up all kinds of trophies on the battlefield. The slightly better knives and guns were immediately picked up by them, and quickly carried them with a bundle of ropes and ran back. Dazhai.
And which miscellaneous cannons left on the battlefield by Chu Cai's old men were also lifted by them at a very fast speed and moved back to the village.
Some people came out of the stockade with some jars in their hands, picked some long ladders and other things abandoned by Chu Cai's old man and spilled the things in the jar. Then someone followed them to light a torch everywhere. It turned out that they were carrying some hot oil and specially came out to burn the long ladders under Chu Cai's old man.
From time to time, there were a few screams on the whole battlefield, which was the idle sea wolf team sending some seriously injured old Chu Cai on the road.
Some sea wolves did not find much to see after they came out, so they cut off the heads of several old Chu Cai's men and slipped back to the stockade. Soon a long pole stood up on the wall, with bloody heads on the long poles.
This is not the most annoying. What's more annoying is that after cleaning the battlefield, these sea wolves actually stood on the wall and shouted collectively: "Thank you, Chu, the big shopkeeper, for giving gifts!"
When the voice reached Chu Cai's ears, Chu Cai's nose was really crooked. This was simply Chi Guoguo's provocation, not so bullying!
So Chu Cai didn't wait any longer. He pulled out his waist knife and pointed to the sea wolf village and roared, "Brothers, kill them all. All the sea wolves will be rewarded with ten taels of silver! ......”
Hearing Chu Cailao's fierce roar, those who were already a little depressed suddenly became excited again and shouted again. Under the greeting of their shopkeepers, they rushed forward again.
And the movement on Chu Cai's side all fell in the eyes of Yu Xiaotian and others. After seeing the two Hongyi cannons slowly pushed towards their village, Yu Xiaotian's face became solemn.
This was the second time he saw the Hongyi cannon in the world, and from the telescope, he observed that the two guns were not small, at least larger than the 12-pound gun in his hand, but not as big as the 24-pound gun. Finally, he judged it to be an 18-pound gun.
In this era, if Yu Xiaotian remember correctly, it should be one of the British's current capital naval guns. It is a kind of heavy gun, between 24 lb guns and 12 lb guns, which are quite powerful.
Another point Yu Xiaotian also vaguely remembered that some materials said that in this era, the British had also come to the coast of China, and also saw the benefits of commerce with the Ming Dynasty. Like the Dutch, they also wanted to find a foothold like Macao or Manila near China, but It has never been successful, but has set up business halls in India and Batavia to trade with Chinese sea merchants through them to get a piece of the pie.
He can't guess where Chu Cailao got these two Hongyi cannons. Obviously, these two cannons should not be cast by the Ming government or the court, so Chu Cailao is likely to get this kind of cannon from the Portuguese or Spanish.
Originally, Yu Xiaotian wanted to look more carefully, but because of the quality of the monocular in his hand and the small multiples, he could only see it more clearly, but he could not judge whether the two guns were long guns or short guns. Naturally, the specific effective range was not The law has made a judgment.
In addition, he also saw that Mr. Chu Cai had made a lot of boxes ashore. After careful observation, he found that these boxes should be a swarm of rockets, and his heart was even more thumping.
He is not too worried about these swarms of rockets. Although this thing is not close in range and is quite powerful when shooting together, it is not bad to deal with exposed cluster targets, but it is not a great threat to deal with people like them and people hiding behind the wall.
However, Chu Cailao's two Hongyi cannons undoubtedly pose a great threat to his fortress. This 18-pound Hongyi cannon weighs more than ten catties of bullets alone, and the amount of charge in the gun can reach five to six catties at a time. In this era, the power is already quite terrible.
Even if the wall is continuously bombarded by this kind of cannon, it can't withstand the bombardment of this kind of cannon, not to mention the wall of this kind of brick-wood mixed structure at present. His wall is far less strong as the rammed wall.
This matter is obviously a little troublesome, and Chu Cai's men must have a lot of wisdom just now, and they will definitely find a way to break through the obstacles he set up outside the stockade and approach the wall.
The next battle in the afternoon is expected to be much more tense than in the morning.
Yu Xiaotian turned around and walked down the arrow tower, recruited Li Dazui, Liu Laoliu and others, and whispered to them. After listening to this, everyone looked tight and immediately began to act separately.
The villagers who were originally idle in the stockade have been mobilized now. The director took out a lot of cloth bags and straw bags from the warehouse and distributed them to these villagers. Soon, someone took these villagers and began to take soil in some places inside the village and began to put these cloth bags or straw bags. In the middle, the shoulder-held hand was transported under the wall and piled up in several places for access at any time.
After the sea wolves in the stockade finished their work, there was a huge roar outside the stockade, and then a shell roared over the wall of the big village, flew straight into the big village, and hit the roof of a house heavily.
And the roof of the room collapsed in an instant, raising a large area of dust. There was a pair of mother and son's exclamation and crying in the room. Someone immediately rushed to the collapsed room and began to open bricks to save people.
Yu Xiaotian cursed and turned around and ran back to the watchtower and raised his eyes to look out of the stockade.
At this time, Chu Cailao's two Hongyi cannons had been dragged by them about a miles and a half away from the sea wolf village, and were set up and raised to aim at the sea wolf village.
There are more than 20 people around each gun and are busy. A gun is shrouded in smoke. Obviously, the bullet just now came from the muzzle of the gun.
Seeing that Chu Cailao brought out such two big killers, the people in the stockade suddenly panicked, especially after seeing the power of the cannon, everyone's nerves tightened, and some people even began to run around the stockade and tried to find a place to hide.
"Gun my order that no one in the village can move around without permission and must stay in place without permission! Those who are unauthorized are tied up first, and those who do not listen to the mobilization can be executed on the spot!" What Yu Xiaotian is most afraid of is the chaos in the stockade. Nowadays, there are a large number of islanders in the village. These people have no organizational discipline. Once it gets messy, the big village will become a pot of porridge. At that time, it will be difficult to stabilize it. If you are not careful, it may cause a disaster.
Therefore, Yu Xiaotian immediately issued the order, and the public security in the village was specifically responsible by the Xingtang. After Liu Laoliu got the order, he did not dare to make a big deal, so he quickly sent people down to pass the order.
A team of inspectors in the prison immediately ran along the streets of Dazhai to the gathering points of the islanders. Each of them held a short eyebrow stick in their hands. On the way, they met some people running around in Dazhai with a stick, and then tied their hands and drove them back to the place where they originally gathered.
Among them, some unconvinced people refused to go back after being hit by the stick, and then continued to collide in the village. As a result, these inspectors pulled out their waist knives and cut to the ground, and their bodies were dragged back to the place where they gathered.
Then these patrols rushed to the gathering points and loudly passed Xiaotian's order to the islanders, so that they should cooperate with the control of the sea wolf and not do any more unauthorized action, otherwise the words will never be forgiven.
Seeing that someone had been killed, the islanders immediately became honest, showing a frightened look. They squatted in the gathering point and no longer dared to move. Some people were so scared that they cried, and the family hugged each other as if they were about to collapse and cried.
The village was suddenly full of all kinds of chaotic sounds, but as long as these islanders did not run around, the situation was easy to be controlled, and soon the chaotic village once again restored order.
At this time, there was another roar outside the stockade, and then another shell hit the big village. However, this time the shell landed on the street and smashed a big pit on the street, so that it was so excited that it could fly around at any time. After the shell landed, it bounced up again and hit a wall on the roadside. It collapsed, made a muffled sound, and once again raised a piece of dust.
Yu Xiaotian nervously observed the flight trajectory of the shell and immediately roughly judged the performance of the two cannons.
The effective range of these two 18-pounder guns is about one kilometer, but it is obvious that Mr. Chu Cai's men did not fully grasp the performance of this gun. The first round of launch raised the muzzle so high that they failed to hit the wall of the village and flew directly into the village.
And Mr. Chu's men certainly did not use the fixed packing bag, which was completely based on experience. In this way, although their cannon is powerful, the accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
The reason why Chu Cai's men put the cannons at such a long distance and began to fire them instead of approaching the village for shelling must be afraid of being accurately counterattacked by the sea wolf's cannon, which also led to their inability to accurately hit the wall at this distance.
Yu Xiaotian despised Chu Cailao in his heart and immediately handed down the order, so that Li Dazui sent someone to transport a 12-pound cannon from the northern battery of Dazhai to the southeast fort of the village. At such a distance, although the six-pound gun was shot from a large angle, the shell could also hit the position of Chu Cailao's cannon, but the accuracy was fundamental. There is no guarantee that even a 12-pound short gun will not be accurate at this distance.
Fortunately, he had a prophetic ability to make twelve pounds of long cannons, the so-called cannon, the so-called cannon. This guy's range can easily reach Chu Cai's cannon, and it can be relatively accurate. Only this guy can suppress Chu Cai's two red cannons.
Li Dazui also realized the seriousness of the problem at this time. As soon as Yu Xiaotian's order was issued, he sent his men to fly to the northeast corner fort of Dazhai.
At this time, Chu Cai's men have begun to rush to the sea wolf village again with the help of the two Hongyi cannons.
