Chapter 44 Attacked (3)
"Ten people from each family, rush up and have a look!" Old Yutou said in a deep voice.
Lai Si and Lao Bangzi nodded, each named ten people, and together with Lao Yutou's people, they cautiously rushed towards the wooden fence.
He Laoliu saw this and wanted to stop him. Everyone should have taken advantage of the large number of people and rushed in in various directions instead of concentrating thirty people to attack one point. But the corners of his mouth opened, but he did not speak. Hum,
Only after you have suffered a little bit will you see how important I am!
"They're coming up! Thirty of them, with muskets...six shots!" the people on the watchtower reported loudly.
"I got it! Xiao Qi, come down quickly! You're being used as a target up there!" Yu Fukun shouted loudly.
"Prepare the muskets! Five people in a row, shoot in three stages... Listen to my command!" Yu Fukun ordered.
The thirty pirates quickly rushed to the wooden fence fifty meters away. After stopping for a moment, they immediately quickened their pace and continued to rush over. As they got closer, they could already see that there were only forty people behind the wooden fence. But the order
What made people's scalp numb was that there were more than a dozen people holding muskets in the wooden fence, facing them.
"Yeah!... Charge up!" Several gangsters shouted, and then dispersed in both directions.
A nervous pirate stood up straight, raised his matchlock gun, lit the medicine door, and fired at the wooden fence.
"Wait a moment, don't be impatient!... Come closer..." Yu Fukun stood on the edge of the wooden fence without evading, staring at the approaching enemy.
"Fire!" Yu Fukun swung the knife in his hand downwards.
"Bang bang bang!..." A row of gunshots rang out, and three pirates 25 meters away instantly fell down.
"Bang, bang, bang!..." Immediately afterwards, the second and third rounds of gunfire were fired again, and another six or seven pirates fell one after another.
The advancing pirates were panicked. After three rounds of firing, nearly ten of their companions fell down. They were still twenty meters away. Will there be another round of firing?
Out of courage, he turned around and ran away, then bravely rushed forward.
From the corner of his eye, Yu Fukun watched as the first round of muskets had just been cleaned and the gunpowder and projectiles were being placed.
"Come forward with a spear!"
A dozen guards armed with wooden poles and iron spears all stepped forward, waiting for the enemy to rush to the wooden fence.
Three or four Fuso Samurai Pigs rushed at the front. Looking at the wooden fence that was nearly two people high, they yelled and rushed a few steps to prepare to climb the fence.
"Thrust on your own!"
A dozen spearmen bowed at the waist and thrust forward, stabbing the pirates who were climbing and standing by the fence to their cores.
The pirates who had not yet rushed forward saw this and turned around and ran back.
"Musket shot!"
"Bang bang bang!..." A volley of guns killed all the pirates who had not escaped.
Old Yutou, Lai Si and others were a little dumbfounded for a moment. Thirty people went up, but less than ten escaped. Could it be that we can't even break into other people's camps?
Several people looked at each other, hesitating whether to send more people to rush forward.
"The camp is so big and there are so few of them, so they can't guard so many places!" He Laoliu couldn't help but say.
"Huh?" Everyone looked at him, what do you mean?
"...We disperse and rush in!" He Laoliu said helplessly, "They can't guard all directions!"
"Yes! Let's rush in from different sides!" Lai Si shouted loudly.
Old Yutou took a deep look at He Laoliu. You bastard, you must have known about this a long time ago, and it cost me so many brothers. Humph, I will find an opportunity to kill you when I return to Batavia.
"Prepare all the muskets, disperse them to all sides, shoot one round and quickly retreat to the storage area... Damn it, you woke up early!" Yu Fukun ordered, turned around and walked towards the camp. He planned to use the numerous houses and facilities in the camp.
Square, block attacks one by one, kill as many enemies as possible, and at the same time provide sufficient defense preparation time for the storage area.
"Yuanshan, did you hear that?" Qi Tian suddenly said to Qi Yuanshan beside the small blast furnace.
"I heard it, it seemed like crying." Qi Yuanshan listened for a moment, and then replied: "How about I go out and take a look?"
Qi Tian nodded and watched Qi Yuanshan running towards the outside of the fort.
Not long after, he ran back again.
"An indigenous man was hit in the foot by a stone in the iron mine. Because it is close to Black Mountain Fort, Brother Hu and his men carried the injured here."
"How many were injured?" Qi Tian felt worried. If he went to collect iron ore without any protective gear, this kind of thing would inevitably happen. It is estimated that it will not be avoided in the future.
"Both of them had their feet smashed. They were crying a lot!"
"Oh, let me go take a look... You stay here and don't allow anyone to touch this blast furnace!" The newly laid refractory bricks and the cement have not solidified yet. Qi Tian is worried that someone may accidentally bump into them and affect the airtightness of the blast furnace.
The two indigenous people injured their calves and ankles respectively. The injury to the calf seemed serious and the bleeding continued, but it was just a skin injury.
As for the one who injured his ankle, looking at the instep of his foot, Qi Tian knew that it might be a comminuted fracture, and there was nothing he could do about it. He asked Niuhu to apply some herbs to remove blood stasis and stop bleeding, and then he could only resign himself to his fate.
Later, when the injury is healed, he will probably be a lame again.
Out of comfort, Qi Tian had someone give them each half a bag of sorghum, which was regarded as "compensation" for their work-related injuries. The two injured natives were happy. In the past, when they went out to hunt, the tribesmen were often kicked and beaten by kangaroos, causing bruises and even severe injuries.
There were also many broken legs and hands. At that time, they all considered themselves unlucky and had bad luck.
Nowadays, when you work for the people on the beach, you no longer have to rack your brains to figure out where to hunt, let alone climb mountains and forests to find food. Now, you only need to follow the instructions of the people on the beach and collect the stones they need.
, you can happily eat two delicious meals.
You see, you were accidentally injured, and the people at the beach gave you half a bag of food as compensation. This makes you much happier than before.
Just when everyone was sighing at how simple the indigenous people were, the sound of galloping horses suddenly came from outside the Black Mountain Fort.
"Who is riding a horse here?" Niuhu muttered. The five horses purchased are valuable items. Except for transporting goods to and from Jianye City and Heishan Fort, most people rarely gallop like this.
At most, he could be taken to a nearby pasture and trotted on horseback for a while.
The galloping man on horseback arrived outside Black Mountain Castle, jumped off his horse, and ran straight into the castle.
"Dalang, Huzi, Xiaotian!" Hu Pingjiang wiped the sweat from his head and said anxiously: "There is an enemy attack on the sea! Yu Tou asked me to come over quickly and inform you, so be prepared!"
"An enemy coming from the sea?...Do you know who they are?" Qi Tian asked.
"I don't know!... The enemy came in five ships with more than two hundred people. At this moment, it is estimated that they have attacked the camp. When they arrived, the people had already begun to evacuate." Hu Pingjiang paused and continued: "Yu Tou let
I tell you, after hearing the news, you can adapt accordingly!"
"Who cares where the thief comes from! Let's go back quietly now and beat him up!" Someone immediately shouted.
Niuhu and Chen Dalang didn't say anything, let alone move. They just looked at Qi Tian quietly.
"His uncle!" Qi Tian cursed, and then said: "A few days ago, I was worried about lack of manpower, and now someone actually comes to my door!"
Chen Dalang almost laughed out loud. Not to mention how to deal with the incoming enemy, Qi Tian's first thought was to capture them and do them as coolies.
Niuhu didn't laugh. He thought Qitian's idea was a good one. With one or two hundred people working, a lot can indeed be done.
"Brother Chen, take all the guards and sneak back quietly and try to capture all their ships!" Qi Tian turned to Chen Dalang and said.
"Okay, let's go back right now!" Chen Dalang nodded, "You guys wait carefully here, the enemy must not know that we still have a stronghold here."
Qi Tian watched Chen Dalang summon a dozen guards from Black Mountain Fort and leave in a hurry. Then he turned around and looked at Niu Hu with a smile.
"Huzi, can you command the earth to move those indigenous people?"
"What kind of command?" Niuhu looked at Qi Tian blankly, "But giving them some food can help them do something."
"Then you go tell them to take weapons and follow us to catch the incoming enemies. All the natives of the Black Valley tribe, regardless of age, women and children, can eat for free for three days... No, five days, give it.
