Chapter 146: The Wako is Coming
The cannonball pierced the sky and hit directly at the hiding place of the Changxing army, "Bang! It slammed into the rocks of the hill and bounced up quickly and rolled down into the distance.
This sudden shelling shocked Zhang Dou into a cold sweat, and everyone did not expect that someone would manipulate the artillery to fire at them in the collapsed fort.
Zhang Dou exclaimed: "Be careful! He fell to the ground, but fortunately, the smoothbore cannon was not accurate, and the next shot was a little off, and did not cause casualties to the Changxing army.
But the encouragement to the pirates at the foot of the hill was huge, and they were stunned for a second before bursting out of courage again. Wielding his weapon, he rushed to the top of the mountain with a shout.
Just as a few gunners at the West Battery were aiming their guns at the South Shark Island harbor, they found that the East Battery, which had collapsed, was firing shells again. They didn't care about adjusting the artillery, so they hurriedly loaded the artillery with projectiles and bombarded the east battery again.
For a while, the roar of the West Fort continued, and the cannonballs rained down on the collapsed East Fort.
The only artillery fired in the East Fort did not stop, and it was still bombarding Zhang Dou's Changxing army.
The pirates' attacks were even more insane, they stripped off their shirts and charged upwards needlessly with buckshots. The gunners couldn't stop the tide of pirates, and three powder kegs in a row couldn't scare the crazy pirates.
Seeing that the pirates were getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain, Zhang Dou shouted: "Spear and shield soldiers, follow me!" So he took twenty spearmen and shields with him, and blocked the pirates in the path.
He was now at the front with a steel knife and a shield in the other, slashing at the pirates who rushed at him. The pirate was cut into two pieces by Zhang Dou only before he could swing his sword, and the pirates behind saw that Zhang Dou's moves were old and wanted to come up and pick up the cheap, but they were shot out by Zhang Dou's shield.
Under his leadership, the Changxing army became more and more courageous, killing the pirates with no means of a single inch. The musketeers in the rear also shot desperately at the pirates, and the pirates continued to fall to the ground with bullets.
Suddenly, Zhang Dou saw something coming from a distance, and the feeling of danger suddenly came to his heart. Listening to the whistling sound of the cannonball, Zhang Dou suddenly pulled back, and a cannonball shattered the pirate's body, and then broke the leg of a spear and shield soldier when it hit the ground, and finally smashed into the place where Zhang Dou was standing just now.
The pirates are crazy! This was the idea of the Changxing army, who even ignored their own people and fired at the place where the two sides were fighting.
Looking at the pirate who had no fear, Zhang Dou tightened the weapon in his hand and killed the pirate again.
"Boom! Rumble! ......" continued to roar from the waterway, and the Yuxiu was no longer threatened by the battery, and finally drove into the waterway of South Shark Island.
He fired at the East Fort as he advanced, and with the Yuxiu's firepower, the East Fort finally fell silent. Then one by one, the sea boats drove into the waterway and opened fire on the water village.
The wooden wall could not stop the artillery bombardment at all, and only a few rounds of shelling dispersed the water wall. Then the faster, more agile bird ships sailed into the harbor of South Shark Island, and they fired round after round of fire crows at the dense pirate ships in the harbor.
The burning whale oil could not be extinguished immediately even by the sea, and the pirate ship was ignited into a huge torch in one fell swoop.
The entire harbor of South Shark Island suddenly burst into flames, and the raging fire quickly spread to all directions, igniting everything that could be burned in its pass.
Seeing this, Zhang Hu knew that his South Shark Island was finished. Looking up at the West Battery, which was firing into the harbor, he squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Retreat!" ”
Zhang Dou kept fighting the pirates with spears and shields, and the corpses were already paved with the path. They could only fight and retreat, and when they were about to retreat to the top of the hill, the fire in the harbor finally made the pirates retreat.
Looking at the pirates who retreated in embarrassment, everyone raised their weapons. Raise your head to the sky and roar: "Wan Sheng!" ”
Lan Guitian's helmet had long since disappeared, and he was stabbed in his left arm. The white pole gun that was originally in his hand had long been broken, and he was holding a steel knife in his hand that I don't know who left behind.
Covered in blood, he saw that the pirates could no longer support it, and sat on the ground gasping for air.
Ma Bao came over and sat beside him and said, "What do you want to do after the battle?" ”
Lan Guitian's eyes darkened, he really didn't know what to do except kill people. What can you do without fighting? Thinking of Yang Quan's entrustment before he died, he said: "If the war is over, I will go home and buy a few acres of land." Go and pick up Yang Quan's kid's wife and son again, and live like this! ”
Ma Bao slapped him hard and said: "Your kid is worried about the future of other people's wives before he gets married, and the adults said that they will give us Yongye Tian when they go back, and the kid is waiting to be the landlord!" ”
Listening to Ma Bao's words, Lan Guitian said in surprise: "Your Excellency can divide the field for us when you go back?" It's not a dream, is it? ”
"What the adults said was broken that time, you kid just think about who else in the family! The days of our Eternal Life Island will get better and better! Ma Bao said.
"Brother Ma! When the battle is over, what do you want to do? Lan Guitian asked.
"Me?" Ma Bao was obviously stunned, and his first idea was to follow Master Zhang Dou to kill Jiannu and avenge his brothers.
Later, the longer I followed the adult, the more I felt the mystery of the adult, and the adult always had an impenetrable aura on his body, and he could always come into contact with all kinds of interesting things when he was around the adult.
Ma Bao thought for a moment and said, "As long as the adults don't dislike me, I plan to follow the adults all the time." I think adults can change the color of the world......"
The fire on South Shark Island burned for a day before it ended, and even if the fire was extinguished, the ship could not enter. The heat from the burning ships shrouded the entire harbor in a fog, and people couldn't stay inside.
It took a night for the fog to disappear, and when the fleet of Changsheng Island entered the harbor of South Shark Island, the entire harbor was like a graveyard of sea ships, with burnt black planks everywhere. The beach was littered with stranded and burned wreckage, and occasionally a charred corpse could be seen.
The wooden piers that had been in the harbor had long since disappeared, and only a few wooden stakes loomed into the sea.
All that remains of the South Shark Island harbor is a stone pier, stretching out into the sea alone. The sea ships on Changsheng Island were divided into two, and some of the sea ships lined up in the harbor and aimed at the buildings on the island, which was a heavy shelling. The remaining ships docked the dock and lowered a thousand soldiers to the island.
Although the First World War wiped out the pirates' warships, there were still more than 10,000 pirates on the island who could not deal with them. They will also cause harm to this route as long as they have the opportunity, so cutting the grass must be eradicated, which is the principle of Changsheng Island.
Ge Yi's two hundred captives were also sent ashore, and now each of them was dressed as a sword and shield soldier. The shiny breastplate made their chests stand tall, and they were afraid that others would not know the good things about him.
After only half an hour, there were no intact buildings as far as the eye could see on South Shark Island.
The soldiers of Changxing Island marched towards the island in a neat formation. As soon as they walked out of Sanli, they were stopped by a group of pirates, and these ragged guys with steel knives surrounded the Changxing army when they saw it.
It could be seen from their fierce eyes that these people were outlaws, and the Changxing Army quickly made a battle formation.
Although the pirates are brave, they have no experience in land warfare, and they are a dish in front of the Changxing army. First the firecracker, then the grenade, and then the process of capturing the prisoners.
The Changxing army divided into a team of 100 people and began to capture the fleeing pirates, and Ge Yi led his men to chase the fiercest. They wielded steel knives, and whenever they encountered a pirate who surrendered without kneeling, it was a sword, and it was a pleasure to kill.
Suddenly, a team of hundreds of people appeared in front of him, and the people in this team were all short in stature, wearing bamboo armor and holding swords, and they killed Ge Yi.
With just one charge, Ge Yi's pirates fell a dozen or so. They all knew that this team was Zhang Hu's trump card, and Zhang Hu would not release them unless they had to.
Ge Yi saw that his people were defeated by the opponents of the Japanese Invaders, and hurriedly shouted for help: "The Japanese Invaders are here!" Come and help! ”
