The pirates fight for their lives in the wind and waves all day long. As long as they survive the initial panic, they still have a certain fighting capacity. Therefore, being repelled by an attack is nothing at all. Anyway, the navy has a comprehensive advantage! If you can't make it once, try it again! And the pirates only need to lose once and it's all over!
More importantly, Liu Haojia hoped to use the pirates to train troops. And only by experiencing some setbacks and knowing how powerful you are can you become a good soldier! If all the pirates are so weak that they collapse in one attack, they might create a group of blind and proud soldiers! Once it fails, it will be a big defeat!
Although Li Wenliang was comforted by Liu Haojia, he felt uncomfortable in his heart! He originally wanted to use the war to show off his abilities, but he didn't expect to suffer a small loss when he opened the door, which made him feel very humiliated! So he simply got off the ship and took charge personally.
And the pirates hiding inside the wall were all beaming and shouting loudly, as if they had just robbed a sea ship! But unlike the excitement of the pirates, the faces of the three leaders gathered together were very ugly!
Because they clearly know that it is not difficult to block a wave of attacks by the army, they just need to take advantage of the army's carelessness! But if the officers and soldiers get serious, they will really be no match! Just listen to the great white shark whisper to a fat man with a white face and a long beard: "Third brother, you have seen the situation now, is there any way for us to escape?"
The third master scholar frowned and said: "Brother, it's too early to run away now, we have to support him again!"
Great White Shark said angrily: "But how can we resist? The army will definitely be able to attack the wall by attacking twice at most! By then none of us will be able to escape!"
The scholar's face was pale, but he still said seriously: "You have to resist even if you can't withstand it! You have to resist it at least once! Brother, please transfer all the people you can mobilize to the stronghold wall, and then the eldest brother will supervise the battle below the wall. How long can you withstand it? How long will it take before our brothers can run out!"
Langli Fanhua tugged at the scholar's sleeve and said, "Can you tell me what to do?"
Seeing both of them staring at him with red eyes, the scholar said helplessly: "Eldest brother, second brother, you first command the brothers to block the wall of the village to withstand the attack of the official army. Wait until the official army retreats. When the time came, I arranged for everyone to repair the wall and carry equipment. Then when no one was paying attention, I took a few confidants to swim from the south to the opposite island. There was no one living on that island, so it would not arouse the suspicion of the officers and soldiers. . And there is a hole on the island. Brother knows the place. You might be able to escape by hiding in the hole!"
At this point, the scholar sighed and said, "It's my fault too. I didn't pay attention to the army coming to surround us! If I had known earlier, I would have covered the hole and stored more water!"
The two of them felt a lot more relaxed now that they had a way out, so Jaws suddenly felt that it was a bit unfair to abandon the scholar! He said tentatively: "What should you do, third brother? If it can't be done, the eldest brother and the second brother will drag you and swim over!"
Shusheng shook his head repeatedly and said: "My water skills are too bad, I can't dive at all, and I can't swim across it! If you take me with you, you will only expose your target! There is no way that we will be shot to death in the water together!"
Great White Shark said with a sense of brotherhood: "We are brothers, how could we leave you behind! We must be together whether we live or die!"
Although Langli Fanhua hesitated for a moment, he then said firmly: "Yes, brother is right! We must live together and die together!"
The scholar was a little touched when he saw their appearance, but he knew in his heart that he said this because he had a way out. Why didn't he say it just now? However, he still waved his hands and said: "Brother, second brother, don't worry about me! I secretly dug a cellar in the house where I live. I originally planned to hide money, but if someone hides it, I can barely hide it! I'm going to hide it in There, when the officers and soldiers leave, the eldest brother and the second brother will come looking for me!"
Jaws hesitated for a moment and thought this was a solution, otherwise it would be a burden to carry him around! So he nodded and said, "Brother, be careful!"
The scholar said: "I understand! But brother, you two still have to urge your brothers to resist! You can only repulse another attack by the army and while the people below are repairing the wall, carrying equipment, and the situation is chaotic, you can Get away so you can have more time!"
Great White Shark patted the scholar's arm and said: "I understand, let's do it! Third brother, hurry up and find a place to hide!"
After the three of them had reached a conclusion, the scholar quietly left behind, while Great White Shark and Langlifanhua loudly urged the pirates to gather together and prepare to resist.
By this time Li Wenliang had already gone ashore to organize a second attack. He first lined up the sword and shield soldiers in front to block the arrows, and the people behind quickly advanced with long ladders. Just when they left the beach and stepped onto solid ground, there was sudden movement in a gun emplacement on the wall, and a gun barrel stretched out, pointing at the advancing soldiers!
It turned out that the artillery position was only destroyed, and the artillery was not damaged. The pirates cleared away the collapsed logs, and Great White Shark gathered a few remaining gunners to rearrange the artillery. At this time, when they saw the officers and soldiers rushing up, they pushed out the artillery, preparing to give the officers and soldiers a hard blow!
Li Wenliang kept staring at the situation in front of him on the beach, and naturally he saw movement at the gun emplacement. But it was too late for him to shout a warning at this time. He could only watch the artillery spray out a stream of fire and make a loud noise!
Then I saw a shell flying out from the muzzle and directly hitting the back half of the attacking team! The shell shattered the head of a soldier, passed through the chest of the soldier behind him, shattered the hip bone of the third soldier, and took away the calf of the fourth soldier, before jumping through the cracks among the people. Get out!
The soldiers were naturally in a commotion when they received such a blow! But fortunately, the officer leading the team was quite capable. He shouted loudly: "Hold on! Hold on! Everyone rush forward!"
"It takes a long time for the artillery to fire once, so hurry up and rush over. Once you get close, the artillery will be useless!"
Under the command of the officer, the soldiers felt much more at ease and began to speed up and rush towards the city wall! At this time, the four artillery pieces that had just been shipped ashore also began to concentrate their firepower on the gun emplacement where they had just been fired, causing sawdust to fly everywhere, so that the pirates could not lift their heads at all, and they never fired a second shot!
But the pirates were not to be outdone and leaned out to shoot arrows to suppress the Ming army. The Ming army, which had been well prepared, relied on sword and shield soldiers to fight back with bows, arrows and firecrackers, and actually fought back and forth in a short period of time!
