"Master, what do you think the guys in Fierce Shark Village are thinking? It's almost a quarter of an hour since they landed ashore. Why are they still lingering there and not seizing the time to come and attack our camp?" It's less than five minutes from the beach. Beside a sea rock ten meters away, Kang Lin and the other three were currently observing the pirates from the Fierce Shark Village who had successfully landed but did not immediately organize their forces to attack their temporary camp not far from the beach.
"You ask me, who am I going to ask." Kang Lin rolled his eyes at Lin Wu who asked the question, and just muttered casually. Then, he turned his attention to the enemies on the beach who were behaving abnormally.
"I really hope that these guys can just keep going like this, because that way, we won't have to take action. After all, swords and guns have no eyesight. Once we fight, there will definitely be casualties..." Next to him, Gu Wenlai, who was dressed in cool clothes, leaned against the sea. Yan was doing the work of loading ammunition with a stinking look on his face, and opposite him, Lin Wu, who had a knife hanging from his waist, was doing the same thing. You know, they have been in battle for a long time and have long been used to life and death. Their depth of experience is beyond the comparison of someone like Kang Lin who has never played with controlled weapons!
Therefore, compared with his men's calmness, casualness and skill when facing the challenge, Conlin's performance was not so relaxed and comfortable! This guy, who had no experience in loading gunpowder guns, spent a lot of effort and spent countless times as long as Gu Lin and the other two before loading the primer, powder gun and lead bullets in sequence with trembling hands. barrel. Afterwards, without even bothering to wipe the sweat from his forehead, the overly nervous guy kept raising his loaded matchlock gun and aim randomly at the enemies still on the beach, not caring that the matchlock on the barrel's faucet was not touched at all. ignite! He kept repeating this over and over until he felt his muscles were a little sore and numb. Gu Wenlai, who was closely watching the movement on the coast, received the news that the enemy not far away had made movement!
Pushed by the fierce shark pirates holding matchlocks and bows, some guys in different costumes holding spears, broadswords and other melee weapons in their hands reluctantly walked slowly towards their camp, and looking at their attire The pattern was exactly that of the sailors on the bird ship that was defeated by the Fierce Shark Village in the battle. At this moment, they no longer had the majesty they had when they fired cannons to bully the Conlin sloop. They all became disgraced and hobbled.
"Alai, Xiaowu, get ready, the enemy is coming!" Seeing this situation, Kang Lin finally understood why the fierce sharks didn't rush to attack immediately when they came up. It turned out that these bastards were planning to use prisoners of war. Being used as a shield, consuming the enemy's ammunition while reducing your own losses, is very cunning and cunning!
However, when I thought about it, the response of these guys was normal. After all, in addition to about nine sailors who were responsible for sailing, an ordinary bird ship could also carry thirty or forty musketeers or army soldiers (including slaves, slave soldiers), after the battle just now, although the ferocious shark's bird ship drove away the enemy's lucky ship, it also suffered heavy casualties in the melee. Seven or eight people who died on the spot or were seriously injured had been thrown into the sea. There were about a dozen people who were slightly injured or who could not die for a while and were still screaming in the cabin waiting for death. As a result, the Fierce Shark Village lost nearly half of its people in one breath, and they could not help but use the captured merchant sailors as shields. , in this case, they did not dare to give the prisoners powerful long-range weapons such as muskets. Presumably they were afraid that their defeated generals would fall out with them on the spot after getting the long-range weapons. Instead, they gave Kang Lin and his group an advantage!
"Line up, line up, the prisoners march forward in horizontal lines, don't walk randomly! Our fourth master said that no matter who is able to kill an enemy in battle, he can immediately remove his identity as a prisoner and kill him. Two, or more, there will be generous rewards..." As the saying goes, "If you want a horse to run, you have to let it eat grass first." Facing a group of captured soldiers with no morale, we know very well The Fourth Master of this Tao immediately made a more attractive promise, but no matter how fantastic he said it, the morale of the prisoners was still not very high, because they knew very well that in the face of the enemy's strict defense, no matter how the pirates No matter how nice they say it, in the end they are just treating themselves as cannon fodder that can be sacrificed at will!
"Bang!" Regardless of the acrimony between the pirates and the prisoners, Kanglin took the lead and fired the matchlock gun in his hand! However, the thick smoke and loud noise that erupted at the moment when the black powder used in the matchlock was ignited made the man swear that if he had a choice in the future, he would never use such a weapon with low accuracy, high recoil and heavy pollution again. Okay, thinking about it makes me feel very cheating and unreliable... But in the final analysis, this guy still has to thank the system, because if this matchlock gun was not rewarded by the system, the amount of black powder he just installed would have been enough. The matchlock gun exploded and the guy suffered broken bones and severe injuries!
"Holy shit!" Seeing that the enemy soldiers' formation was still in chaos as they slowly advanced toward his own camp, Kang Lin couldn't help cursing his own marksmanship. Less than fifty meters away, he was clearly aiming at a man holding a big axe. The Fierce Shark Village pirate who threatened the captives to move forward, but after the gunfire, the axe-wielding pirate did nothing and was still alive and kicking! On the contrary, a prisoner next to this guy was very unlucky. The gravel hit by the lead bullet unfortunately hit his face. In an instant, the unlucky guy fell to the ground clutching his wound, and then began to suffer miserably. Howl!
"boom!"
"boom!"
After Kang Lin's terrible first shot, two gunshots soon came from the edge of Haiyan. Fortunately, the accuracy of these two shots was much better than Kang Lin's first shot, because at least it was accompanied by The gunshot rang out, and two pirates fell down on the beach!
"Calm down, calm down, all the prisoners squat down, the arquebusiers and gunmen come forward, aim at the target, and fire!" I have to admit that these three shots caused some trouble to the marching pirates.
However, before Kanglin and the other three could cheer and celebrate, the pirates' counterattack came. The experienced pirate leader quickly discovered the enemy musketeer hiding not far away. The next moment, he Then they sent out their own musketeers and began to fire back.
"Bang, bang, bang..." Then, the uneven firing sounds of the pirate musketeers soon sounded on the quiet beach. However, because the firearms equipped by the pirates were very messy, at such a close distance, they could not This kind of scattering did not cause any trouble to Conlin and others! Although lead bullets have great kinetic energy, they can't do anything with solid rocks. Therefore, although the rock in front of Kang Lin and others was hit with stone chips flying, the three of them didn't even do anything.
"Bang..." Then, while the pirate musketeer fired a round and was still loading his musket, Conlin and the other three people coordinated with their eyes and fired a beautiful volley, and these three lead bullets instantly The advancing pirate musketeers screamed and fell down. The remaining pirates could not help but slow down a bit when they saw this situation...
"Retreat!" On the other side, after opening fire, Kanglin and the other three men immediately picked up their matchlock guns and ran away, regardless of their results. During this time, they didn't even dare to look back, because they were afraid that they would be killed if they turned around. He was knocked down by the retaliatory volley fire from the pirate musketeers.
"Bang bang bang bang..." Sure enough, gunpowder smoke rose and projectiles were fired. The pirate musketeers counterattacked very quickly, but they obviously underestimated the shamelessness of Kang Lin's group, so these dozen rounds of muskets were fired consecutively. Lin and the others didn't catch a single hair.
"Stop firing, check and reload the ammunition. The musketeers and gunners are in the middle, and the others are outside. Keep moving forward." The pirates who were knocked down by Conlin's three men with six shots saw that they missed a single hit, and the enemy did not care. He ran with all his strength, thinking that he could not catch up, so he could only stop shooting amidst the shouts of the little boss, reorganized his formation, and steadily pressed towards Kang Lin's position.
"Bang bang bang!" About sixty meters away from the pirates, the three people who had reloaded their ammunition stopped, turned around, and opened fire again, but it was different from Gu Wenlai and Lin Wu. , Mr. Kang Da actually forgot to load the lead bullet this time, but left the purge in the barrel. Therefore, only one person in the pirate team fell in response, and the purge shot from the gun was Lying quietly on the ground!
"Run!" Looking at the short soldiers (pirate soldiers armed with short spears, scimitars, and axes) that kept rushing out of the pirate queue, Kanglin, who had made a lot of money, picked up the somewhat cumbersome matchlock gun and fired again. He ran wildly, just kidding, if he was caught up by the pirates' short soldiers at this moment, it would be weird if he didn't skin him and light up the sky lantern!
Conlin team’s temporary camp.
"Sixth Master, the master has brought the pirates here!" Yan Xiaosong, who had just ordered his subordinates to roughly dig a circular trench and tamped the edge of the circular trench with the soil brought up, had not even had time to raise his head and wipe the sweat from his head. Seeing his leader rushing towards his camp with Gu Lin and the two men, he was so anxious that he didn't even have time to catch his breath, so he loudly shouted to Liu, who was still at the bottom of the ditch, tamping down the soil at the bottom of the trench to the soldiers at the command post. Lao Liu reported the latest situation.
"Okay, the old man understands. Mr. Yan, could you please take a few people to transport these wooden boxes containing supplies to the back of the ditch and build them up, and pour the mud taken from the ditch on them, and then send a few spearmen to guard them. Behind us, prevent the thieves from breaking through from behind our defense line..." Liu Laoliu's scalp felt numb when he heard this, and he immediately climbed up from the trench, and ordered his twenty or so soldiers from the guard station to hide in the trench. Behind the built mud wall, they were ready to fire their crossbows to meet the three pioneers who were still running wildly.
