Zuo Yintang's pupils were shrinking when facing the telescope, and his thin cheeks twitched slightly.
He knew that this was a carnival before the pirates charged, and it could even be said to be a death ceremony. The pirates would naturally not be willing to lose the first battle. They had already gathered their strength again, and then used a carnival feast to defeat them like a fire.
Everything explodes into destruction.
Chen Xiangmei quietly came behind Qin Xiaodu and looked at the brightly lit pirate city opposite, her beautiful and coquettish eyes shining brightly.
Ouyang Hai and Chen Zhinian, Li Dahua and Jia Saihua, and the two brothers Liu Qi and Liu Lin also stood in front of the lookout.
No one said a word, and the silent atmosphere was in stark contrast to the night banquet in the pirate city opposite.
After a long while, Qin Xiao asked in a calm tone: "Captain Zuo, these pirates, both men and women, wear earrings. Are they born punks?"
After a while, Zuo Yintang replied: "This explanation of pirate earrings is a bit too trendy. Of course, this explanation also makes sense. However, the earrings worn by pirates are not for the avant-garde or trendy purpose. They think wearing earrings will help
It’s good for hearing protection, because they often encounter tsunamis, firing guns, and loud noises that can almost deafen their ears. Therefore, wearing earrings seems to make them feel better psychologically at least.”
Qin Xiao said: "Oh, wearing earrings will protect your hearing? Then you might as well just wear earmuffs."
Zuo Yintang said: "Many people know that smoking is harmful to health, but there are still very few people who actually use filters. We mistakenly think that earrings are just a way for pirates to express fashion, which is unrealistic. In fact,
, these heavy precious metals, have many uses and are of vital importance. Pirates wore valuable earrings to ensure that in the event of their death in any accident, whoever found their bodies could use these earrings to pay for their burial. Some
Pirates even engraved their names on their earrings, hoping that someone would remember them even after they died. There were also many superstitious beliefs about their earrings. For example, pirates believed that wearing earrings could prevent seasickness and drowning."
Chen Xiangmei said: "Well, there are also many of them wearing eye patches. Are they really all one-eyed?"
Zuo Yintang said: "There are not many real cyclops among pirates. Most of them have both eyes intact, and even have a vision of 1.0 in both eyes. In fact, the purpose of the eye patch is not to say that he has only one eyeball, but to help them improve their night vision and shooting accuracy.
. This is what their job requires. Battles can happen at any time, and dangers are around you. You can aim and shoot anytime and anywhere, and one hit will be effective. This principle is just like a soldier who always closes one eye and aims his gun at the surrounding enemies.
"
Li Dahua said: "Pirates are indeed mysterious. However, if they blatantly have fun like this, don't they know that it will weaken their own will and combat effectiveness?"
Zuo Yintang said: "No, proper indulgence is for better restraint. Do only miners have holidays? Pirates also have them. Whether they are making decisions or allocating affairs, they are not as disorganized as we imagined, and they even fight to the death.
Black. Not only that, they have democratic elections and have formulated rules and regulations to resolve battles. Anyone who ignores the rules will be severely punished. A retired pirate leader will receive a generous pension. More importantly, during the attack
Pirates who became disabled during the war were never discarded, but were regarded as veterans and role models of bravery and experience."
Li Dahua said: "So, are they so addicted to alcohol and drinking to excess to embolden themselves or increase their courage?"
Zuo Yintang said lightly: "That's not just spirits, it's a secret drink they made. It's a drink made by mixing medicine and spirits. In addition to helping them avoid dehydration, this drink can also be used to
Treat diseases and resist severe cold. At this point, you may think that pirates are more barbaric and primitive than miners. You are wrong. Hundreds of years ago, pirates gave mankind the earliest navigational terminology."
Qin Xiao said: "Then their night banquet is actually about dying for the generosity that is about to begin, sacrificing one's life for righteousness."
Zuo Yintang did not answer. In fact, there was no need to answer. Everyone present felt the approaching danger and the decision of life and death. The disaster was approaching, but they calmed down.
Everyone knew that Qin Xiao was not interested in learning about pirate earrings, eye masks and strong drinks at this time. He was just soothing his emotions and trying to calm down everyone's emotions.
Not only the people at the lookout, but also the miners and village warriors in the work sheds also felt the unusual atmosphere. Therefore, before the battle started, some people began to throw away their weapons and sneak away. Zuo Yintang did not stop them.
No one has the right to tell anyone to die. People have the right to choose death, and they also have the right to choose life.
Qin Xiao and Chen Xiangmei began to prepare for battle, finding bunkers and reloading ammunition.
The carnival opposite has ended.
Dawn has begun. All the colorful lights are still flashing, but they have lost their dazzling life and become more depressing and solemn than without lights.
The pirates stood neatly on the high side of the ship, shouting slogans or singing. Then, someone pushed off the skateboard.
It's a skateboard, not a ladder.
Then, someone used a lever to move dozens of huge ice balls and pushed them down the slide. Dozens of these huge ice balls were pushed down one after another, rolling towards the work shed with a roar.
The eyes of Qin Xiao and others became solemn as these roaring ice balls came. The huge ice balls were crystal clear, but the middle was black, and there were dots of flames. This was not a simple ice ball, the ice ball was filled with explosives and
Sulfur, gasoline. It's a huge bomb.
The IQ of pirates and the creative passion of DIY are unimaginable. The artillery on the pirate ship cannot hit the work shed at all, and can only serve as a demonstration and intimidation. But these top-down, full-energy ice hockey bombs can roll to the work shed.
And mines. Ice and snow block the speed, but ice and snow increase the speed of the ice ball. This principle is simple and easy to understand, but many people only understand it.
Zuo Yintang held up the telescope and said, "Move to the mine."
Qin Xiao had no objection.
The battle formation quickly changed, and the miners and village warriors began to gather in the direction of the mines in the Centipede Mountains.
The pirates' attack also began. They did not withdraw from the slide, but cheered and slid down the slide directly off the pirate ship. It didn't seem to be launching an attack, but like a group of adults playing ice and snow games and skating. The pirates
Do you also imagine yourself as an ice bullet, or do you mentally need the speed and power of an ice bullet?
They stepped on skates, skateboards, and even a few people rode sleds, rushing toward the mine with the ice bullets rolling in front of them.
Some of the ice bombs hit the fence of the work shed, and the fuse was triggered, making a clear and sweet sound of ice-breaking firecrackers. One after another, flames shot into the sky and thick smoke billowed. The ice bombs behind them passed over the damaged wooden fence one after another and hit the
Work shed dormitory. With the sound of explosions, venomous flames quickly spread, swallowing up the work sheds one by one.
The pirates behind started shooting, aimlessly and sparsely. But in the quiet morning, it was extremely clear and ear-piercing. Every crisp gunshot was accurate, hitting the heart of everyone defending in a short and dense manner.
