Chapter 64: The Battle of Vostochny 5
With the command, the pirates in front of the sailors suddenly heard a rapid drum beat, and then the one on the far left suddenly raised his rifle and shot at them, then the man behind him shot, then the man next to the first shooter in the front shot shot, then the man behind the new shooter, and then the man next to the shooter in the front...... Although there are less than thirty of these pirates, such a burst of gunfire feels endless, and it seems that they can fight like this forever. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Every time a shot was fired, someone was hit among the sailors because they were so densely packed. Although the sailors did not suffer many casualties, they were full of panic, accompanied by the dense beat of drums, the continuous sound of gunfire and the occasional fall of people around them, and they couldn't help but wonder if they would be the next unlucky guys.
"Go and turn the cannon around!" The boatswain, who was huddled behind, had not yet been hit, and he commanded loudly, when an exclamation came from the left, "The fleet is leaving!" All the sailors looked to the left in horror, and not far from the sea, the dinghy was rowing in the direction of the boat, and in order to reduce the weight, they even pushed the cannons on the dinghy directly into the water. The crowd exploded and rushed to the beach, shouting "Wait for us!" Don't leave us behind! "Hundreds of people were on the beach in the blink of an eye. Zeng Zhigang was dumbfounded, and only the dead or injured were left lying on the road in front of him.
"Put the dinghy and continue to land, there is a fierce battle with the pirate ships outside!" The captain of the Carson shouted at the first mate, "You go down too, go to the front and direct the attack, the beach is in chaos!" Then he turned to the second officer and shouted, "Keep the artillery firing." ā
"We can't see the enemy's position at all this night, we can't hit them." The second mate replied in a loud voice, "And the beach and the harbor are full of our people, and if we fire again, we may hit our own people." ā
"No matter!" The captain yelled, and the Carson began to fire again at the harbor as ordered. Flying shells swept over the buildings of the harbor and the sailors running around the harbor area, once again wreaking havoc in the buildings of the port area.
"What are they fighting?" Fan Han was a little surprised, the nearest cannonball that landed on them was at least more than a hundred meters, and it couldn't hurt them at all, and the cannonball fired from the ship at this time caused the biggest result, in addition to damaging a lot of modular houses in the port, it killed many of their own sailors.
"I don't know, they don't know where we are, they're just firing indiscriminately." Lin Quan turned his head to look at him and said, "Don't sigh, get ready to load!" ā
Li Zhen nodded, he had a good feeling for Lin Quan, he was calm and calm, and he was a material to be an officer.
By this time more sailors had landed under the cover of their guns, and this time the dinghy had about a hundred sailors ashore, and then returned to the vicinity of the ship to carry the next group of men. The Carson and Aror in the harbor are crowded with sailors with weapons, usually they jump to the gang after the ship is ganged and fight hand-to-hand, but today this kind of battle without even seeing an enemy has never been encountered, and the fight is called a grievance, at this time they are all ready to try, ready to find out the main force of the pirates in the next battle and then beat them hard.
The first mate of the Carson had already landed at this time, and he quickly found the boatswain of the Overlord and took command into his hands.
"All personnel, all the ...... of the pirates" The first mate was stunned, because there was no one in the direction the boatswain was pointing, and the pirates had already run in the direction of the city. Chase! ā
At this time, there were about six or seven hundred sailors, plus the number of eight hundred who had just landed, and at this time they shouted and chased in the direction of the pirates' "defeat".
Suddenly, the bottom of the feet of the sailors chasing the front suddenly exploded, and a huge fireball rose up, and the thirty or forty sailors next to them were blown up so that no one could be found in an instant. The sailors were all stupid, this kind of earth-shattering thunder thing is also in the martial country, but they have never encountered such a powerful one.
"Leave it alone!" The first mate yelled at the front, "Don't stop! Rush forward! Several elite soldiers around the first mate also shouted loudly at the front.
The sailors came to their senses and hurriedly chased after Zeng Zhigang's platoon.
Zeng Zhigang was also depressed at this time, didn't he say that he dragged these big boats? How could they still be able to continue to send sailors ashore, and in order to protect the barrel, the Flying Thunder Cannon needed to stop firing for two minutes to cool the barrel. Liu Lihua's platoon was still lurking in the woods, and they were used to seal the final battle, so they couldn't move. And his platoon only has more than 20 people left at this time, resisting the attack of more than 800 people? He wasn't so stupid yet, so he could only retreat in the direction of the city with his people. When retreating, two mines were also planted on the road to block the enemy, but listening to the movement just now, the enemy stepped on one, and quickly recovered, although he was very familiar with the terrain of Dongfang Port, but there were more than 800 people behind, and the black pressure was chasing this side.
They soon ran to the Five Star Square, which was the earliest campsite after crossing the crowd to the new time and space, and later established the city after the camp was abandoned, and the land was gradually leveled to form a square. Because there is a road leading to five directions, showing a huge five-pointed star, so it is vividly named the five-star square, here is not far from the firing position of the flying thunder cannon, there is a company of more than 100 people guarding here, and there are more than 300 militia urgently mobilized, if you really fight with this pursuer, you will not suffer.
The sailors who chased and escaped the "pirates" in the midst of an almost identical complex suddenly found themselves in a plaza that was large enough to accommodate several thousand people. In the opposite direction stood a neat queue of two pirates, facing them at right angles to each other. Seeing their arrival, the pirates once again heard the rapid beat of the drums. The sailors who had been shot by the wheel just now had a bad secret way, so they hurriedly fled to the back, but the sailors behind did not know what was happening in front of them, and they were still crowding forward, and at this time the crowd was crowded on the road leading to the five-star square. At the same time, loud orders were heard from the ranks of the pirates. Then, the pirates in the first row fired. The firing of thirty rifles quickly swept away a large number of enemies, and then the men who had fired the guns fell down on their knees and began to reload, and the soldiers in the second row began to aim, and with the command, another volley and then half-kneeling reloading, and then the soldiers in the third row began to aim again......
The sailors in the front cried and fled back, and the sailors in the back rushed forward because of their desire to fight, and the two sides squeezed more and more tightly, and many sailors who did not stand firm were pushed to the ground, and were soon trampled or killed or wounded.
"Get out of the way!" The sailors in the back shouted that they had come over with two cannons under the command of the first mate and the boatswain, and because they were sheltered by the crowd, they could not see where the enemy was, and could only shout for the crowd to get out of the way. But at this time, who can hear the sailors who cry for their fathers and mothers? The sailors in the back row were red-eyed, and directly drew their weapons and slashed at the people in front of them, but this did not make the situation better, but made it more chaotic.
"Fire!" The first mate swung his knife forward viciously, and the sailor who was in charge of firing the cannon next to him turned his head in disbelief. "I said fire! Shoot at the crowd. If they don't get out of the way, we won't be able to shoot the enemy, and if we wait any longer, we won't be able to fire! ā
The sailor nodded, and put the torch directly to the cannon fire door.
"Boom!" A cannonball the size of a bowling ball burst out of the muzzle with smoke and sparks, carved a flesh alley among the crowded sailors, and landed on the compacted ground of the square, before bouncing on the ground and flying towards the opposite team of pirates.
The cannonball leaped at a speed visible to the naked eye, causing all the elders present to shout for the soldiers to avoid as if they were facing a great enemy. A reckless soldier rushed forward and tried to knock the cannonball off with his rifle, only to be knocked off by the shell, and his right hand flew out. Flying rifle fragments swept like a handful of shotguns towards the soldiers who didn't know what to do, and they fell wounded in a burst of screams. The shell continued to leap forward, breaking two soldiers at the waist and then breaking one soldier's leg and one soldier's right hand before continuing to leap backwards.
Seeing that the effect of this cannon was so good, the sailors cheered, and the sailors who had fled backwards after crying for their father and mother also recovered their fighting spirit, and hurriedly dispersed to the left and right, and then the second cannon rang out. The first mate and the boatswain smiled and nodded, according to their usual experience, at most three shots, even the most fierce pirates would be defeated.
But something happened to them, the militia in the back rushed up, dragged the wounded soldiers to the back for treatment, and the uninjured soldiers automatically replenished to the front, and then resumed shooting again at the command of the officer. On the contrary, the sailor, who was still cheering just now, began to cry again, and his father and mother fled back.
"Rush!" The first mate drew his sword and yelled ahead, "Rush forward! There are more of us than they are! ā
The sailors came to their senses, raised their weapons and rushed forward, and some sailors with firearms also fired in the direction of the pirates, and they also hit several pirates during the process, but even if their companions were shot and fell, these pirates did not retreat, but met them with a higher rate of fire.
When the distance between the two sides narrowed to about fifty meters, a loud command came from the pirates on the opposite side, "Bayonet charge!" Kill! I saw that these blue-clothed pirates loaded their snipples in front of these firearms, and the sailors who were charging rushed up, and in the blink of an eye, the crowds of people on both sides collided together.
