Chapter 62: Defensive battle at Erweborg (4)
Returning to the south wall, more than ten pirates attacked the fortress wall, but the pressure on Cao Chunrui was not great yet. Su Ming looked through the crenellations and saw that there were more than 20 archers shooting arrows under the south wall. He opened fire on them.
The other party called the names one by one, and soon no more pirate arrows were fired from the south wall of Fort Erwei.
Use a machine gun to shoot the pirates on the ladders outside the fort wall again. Cao Chunrui led his men to push all the ladders out of the wall. The pressure on the south wall suddenly dropped. When he saw this, he headed towards the east wall.
The eldest brother was guarding the east wall. When Su Ming arrived, he saw his eldest brother standing on the wall alone with a broadsword. When he saw a pirate who was afraid of coming up, he cut him off instantly with the broadsword. The pirate just stuck his head out and fell off the wall.
Go down.
There didn't seem to be many pirate archers under the east wall. Su Ren only took out his pistol and fired when the wall defenders were under great pressure. The soldiers were all convinced by his skill in martial arts, and the pirates didn't even get the slightest advantage.
When Su Ming saw a crenel here, he shot at the dozen or so archers outside the fort wall one by one, and cleared away the pirates who were climbing ladders. When his elder brother led people to push all the ladders away, he did not fight with his elder brother.
Say hello and go directly to the north wall.
The north wall is the least suitable for siege. There is not much pressure here. Although there is only one team of soldiers, Su Qingping is good at martial arts and has a pistol. There seem to be three or four hundred pirates outside the north wall, but the number can attack the city at the same time.
Very rarely, Su Ming also helped Fifth Brother clear out the archers outside the lower fort, then returned to the south wall with the machine gun in hand.
Everything is going well on the south wall. The morale of the pirates seems to be getting lower and lower. Although they still seem to be desperate, fewer and fewer pirates are fighting on the fort wall. In addition, the number of pirate archers is getting smaller and smaller.
The rolling wood became more and more powerful. Even if Su Ming did not use the machine gun, the soldiers at the South Wall began to become more and more confident under the leadership of Cao Chunrui.
I don't know how long it took, but Su Ming turned around and saw that there were only more than 300 rounds of ammunition left beside Tiezhu, which was equivalent to four magazines for the machine gun in his hand.
Su Ming began to reduce his shooting, and would only shoot at the pirates behind him when pirates attacked the fort wall.
Checking that Li Lin's status has recovered to 87%, it is already the time to make trouble. In less than two hours, it will be dawn.
All the soldiers in Erwei Fort were exhausted, and many of the soldiers on the walls were panting from exhaustion. The escorts boarded the walls to defend, and in some places young and strong people even became the main force.
What both sides are fighting for now is persistence. A large number of untrained civilians climbed onto the fort wall and were carried down soon. At this time, if the pirates tried their best to attack Fort Wei, it would be difficult to defend Fort Wei, but the pirates seemed to have run out of strength.
Seeing the sky light up in the east, the injured soldiers and civilians lying there on the fort wall groaning in pain, and some women in the fort boarding the fort wall to transport the wounded, Su Ming saw that his status value was 71%, and the machine gun poked out of the fort wall.
We found a leader who was commanding the pirate group. After a burst of fire, the attacking pirates were separated from the rear group.
The pirates in the rear seemed to have no intention of continuing to attack the city. The pirates in the front were once again killed and driven back. Finally, some pirates could no longer hold on and began to retreat on their own.
The pirates in the rear killed several pirates who were retreating. Su Ming called out the pirates who killed his companions. Soon more and more pirates escaped from the south wall. The situation became uncontrollable. He was responsible for the attack on the south wall.
The pirate leader could only order a retreat.
On the south wall of Erwei Fort, the soldiers and people of Erwei Fort shouted and celebrated. They were not attacked by pirates and they defended their homeland.
Even though many people left them that night, they succeeded, and that was enough.
Su Ming stood up, moved his numb legs, and saw that there were not many bullets left around Tiezhu. All the bullets he had accumulated this night were gone. In the next battle, he would probably use those big knives and spears to fight the enemy.
The stone outside the gate of the south wall has been rolled out more than five feet high. Now even if Erwei Fort has the intention to rush out of the fort to pursue the enemy, it will be difficult for people to rush out. They don’t know how many troops they have left. They are chasing thousands
There are still risks to human piracy.
"Ba Ye, are you okay?" Cao Chunrui asked Su Ming with concern as he came to Su Ming with many blood stains on his leather armor drying up.
"I'm fine, my legs are a little numb, and the pirates on the other three walls seem to have retreated!" Su Ming said.
"Yes, we defended it!" Cao Chunrui said excitedly.
At this time, Su Ren came over with more than ten soldiers and was relieved to see that Su Ming was not injured.
"We have too few troops, otherwise the pursuit effect must be very good now. I just saw that the pirates have retreated to the four villages outside the fort. They should not launch another attack this morning.
Moreover, the number of pirates who retreated from the south wall is only 600 at most, and the number of pirates around Erwei Fort will not exceed 2,000. Most of the pirates should have left the Erwei Fort area, and they should be heading towards Jinshanwei Town." Su Ren said.
This is definitely good news. With the pirates withdrawing, the pressure on them will become less and less. As long as the Jinshanwei pirates completely retreat, they will have accomplished a great feat and victory is already waving to them.
Soon Su Qingping and Su Zhe also brought their soldiers to the south wall. Although they suffered heavy losses tonight, everyone was very happy. Defending the Second Wei Fort was a victory for them. After this battle, the strength of their soldiers and escorts would definitely increase.
, they are very confident about the next battle.
"You, Lao Wu, will be responsible for disturbing the city wall. Everyone should go home and rest. We may have another battle in the afternoon. Lao Ba, you come with me." Su Ren said to Su Ming.
Su Ming got up and walked down the fort wall with his eldest brother, and walked towards his yard. Su Ren obviously had several wounds on his body, but after being simply bandaged, he was able to withstand the attack of 5,000 troops. This was already a miracle for Erwei Bao.
Already.
"Eighth brother, now that the pirates have withdrawn, even if there are pirates who continue to attack Erwei Fort in the afternoon, it will not be difficult for us to hold on. I plan to send Flag Master Cao and thirteenth brother to Jinshan Guard Town to have a look. What do you think?" Su
Ren said.
Although Erwei Fort has gone through the most difficult period, if Jinshan Guards Town fails, they will have no choice but to abandon the fort and escape. In the face of the general situation, a small Erwei Fort will not have much effect.
In case all the Jinshan Guard posts have been breached by pirates, they will have no choice but to prepare to escape from the sea. The pirates and Japanese pirates have become more and more powerful in recent years, and the elite Jinshan Guards have gone to southern Zhejiang. There will definitely be no troops to support other guards.
Therefore, even if he was injured, Su Ren wanted to know the situation of other Jinshan Guards.
"Brother, Brother Chunrui and Thirteenth Brother have been fighting all night. Even if they carry guns, it will not be easy for them to break through the pirate blockade and reach Jinshan Guard. I have a candidate who is more suitable than anyone else to go to Jinshan Guard." Su Ming
said.
"Who?" Su Ren asked.
"Brother, do you have a detailed map of the path to Jinshanwei Town? Li Lin rested for a night and his condition should have recovered now. He is completely trustworthy. Leave the task of exploring Jinshanwei Town to him!" Su Ming said.
"He was so seriously injured yesterday that he probably won't be able to recover today. It's not that easy to go to Jinshanwei Town," Su Ren said.
"Then it's even more important to send him. His strength is far from what you see. Later, you can draw a simple map and give it to me. I will ask Li Lin to leave the fort through a secret passage. If everything goes well, he will be there before this evening."
You should be able to come back," Su Ming said.
Su Ren couldn't believe it, but he still nodded. If Jinshan Guard Town was breached, Fort Erwei would definitely not be able to defend it. The pirates would drive out ordinary soldiers and the common people to act as human shields to consume the strength of the guard station. Then it would be over.
It won't work even if the Weibo has enough bullets.
After returning home, Su Ming took back all the weapons and equipment from Su Zhe, took them to his room, and put all the equipment into the consciousness sea police ship. Then Su Ming summoned Li Lin.
Li Lin had been in the coast guard ship for more than nine hours, and his condition had returned to 100%. Seeing that Li Lin had no wounds on his body and was in good condition, Su Ming couldn't help but feel happy.
"How do you feel?" Su Ming looked at Li Lin and asked.
"Captain, everything is fine. I feel that my whole body has endless energy," Li Lin said.
When there is no one around, Li Lin still likes to call Su Ming captain.
"There is a task for you to investigate the situation in Jinshanwei Town, as well as the number of pirates who entered Jinshanwei this time, and the situation at other guards in Jinshanwei Town." Su Ming said.
"Promise to complete the mission!" Li Linting said again.
"You go out through the secret passage. You know the secret passage. You can be contacted by the walkie-talkie at any time. I keep the walkie-talkie on. If you are in danger, just call me and I will summon you back." Su Ming said.
"Yes, Captain!" After Li Lin said, Su Ming gave him all his equipment. Considering that his machine gun was too heavy, Su Ming gave him his rifle. In addition, he also returned the rifle in his elder brother's hand when he went out.
he.
The rifle's three magazines were filled with bullets, and the pistol's bullets were also filled. The servants also prepared dry food for the trip. Li Lin was taken to the warehouse behind the fort by Su Ren. Su Ming turned on the walkie-talkie. Su Ming had already tried their walkie-talkies.
, there are no satellites in this era, but there is no problem in making calls within a few hundred meters. He suspects that the walkie-talkie has been modified by the coast guard ship. He will know after trying it this time.
After breakfast, Su Ming lay on the bed and put the walkie-talkie next to his pillow. Li Lin would tell him that he was safe every ten minutes, and before he knew it, Su Ming fell into a deep sleep.
It was not until someone knocked on his door at noon that Su Ming woke up and checked that his status was 94%, which meant that he had slept for at least two hours.
"Brother, have the pirates organized another attack?" Su Ming opened the door and saw his eldest brother and his thirteenth brother, and asked hurriedly.
"Are you there then? Several groups of pirates just evacuated from the villages outside the fort, heading north and west. However, there are still many pirates left outside the fort. I estimate there are nearly a thousand people. We lost a lot last night.
Chapter completed!
