Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 302 Fighting the Five Scumbags

At the pier of Bengang, the [-] soldiers left behind built a simple fortification on the pier, which stocked up food and supplies for the mountain camp.

But at this time, the stronghold of Bengang was attacked by two or three thousand pirates and refugees.Some of these young men even held hoes and kitchen knives, looking desperate.

"Sir, there are a lot of civilians on the other side, should we fight or not?" The soldiers staying at the stronghold lay behind the obstacles made of stones, held muskets, and hesitated when they saw the refugees surrounded by kitchen knives and poles.

"Damn, we didn't provoke these civilians, why are they so reluctant to help the pirates drive us away." The captain of the stronghold wondered, "Shoot at the ground as a warning!"

Boom!A row of muskets fired at the feet of the rushing civilians at the same time!
The civilians who rushed over heard the gunshots and the bullets flying on the ground in front of them, and they were subconsciously startled, and the whole crowd paused.

"Hiss..." These impulsive rebels were frightened by the rifles of the mountain battalion and did not dare to move forward.

The pirates not far away saw the civilians who dared not move forward, as if they had guessed it a long time ago, and they were not surprised at all.Not to mention civilians, even pirates dare not attack with the rifles of the Liao army.What's more, it's a flat place like the pier that lacks effective obstacles.

On the contrary, the old uncles of the main combat faction were dumbfounded.The Liao army's rifles were much more powerful than the firecrackers they had imagined. They were able to shoot freely behind obstacles, and they were able to shoot accurately on the ground in front of the rebel army.

If the Liao army really wanted to do something, it is estimated that a group of people would fall just now.

"Fathers and elders, we have not invaded you in the slightest. We just took over the pier originally occupied by the pirates. Please return quickly so as not to cause unnecessary casualties." The soldiers of the mountain camp in the stronghold shouted.

"Should we still charge..." The frightened civilians were still holding up their kitchen knives, and only reacted when they heard the shouts of the Liao army soldiers.

"They are right. We have no grievances with the Liao army. Why are we going to die?" Some civilians retreated.

Threatened by the rifles of the soldiers of the mountain battalion, panic gradually spread among the civilian rebels.At first, it was just a few civilians hesitantly retreating a few steps. As a result, more and more people retreated, and the pace of retreat became faster and faster, eventually forming a large-scale retreat.

That is to say, the civilians who just tried to attack the stronghold did not suffer any losses, but immediately withdrew.

"The army is defeated like a mountain, these mediocrities!" The clan elders of the main battle faction stomped their feet in hatred.

Hearing these words, the pirates rolled their eyes, and the ability and courage of the civilian rebels were really gone.

"Uncles, I remember that there were a few old copper cannons in the village. We didn't take them away at that time. Now is the time to use these copper cannons." The pirate leader did not count on the rebels, so he had to Put hope on the copper cannon.

"By the way, there are indeed several bronze cannons and dozens of shells in our ancestral hall." Several elders of the main combat faction slapped their heads and suddenly realized.

"You people, go to the ancestral hall to get the bronze cannon." The pirate leader was worried, so he simply asked his hands to pull the bronze cannon.

After a while, hundreds of pirates pulled over a few heavy copper cannons.Maybe it has not been used for too long, and there is already accumulated dust on the copper cannon.

"The copper cannon should still be usable?" the pirate leader was a little worried.

"I hope it can be used, otherwise we really have nothing to do with the Liao army." The pirate leader rubbed his temple.

After the pirates got a few bronze cannons, they began to clean the barrels of the cannons, and prepared to use the copper cannons to break through the stronghold of the Liao Army in Stupid Port.

Their movement was quickly noticed by the soldiers of the mountain battalion in the stronghold.

"Sir, they seem to have found the artillery?" the soldiers of the mountain battalion called.

"Good guy, you dare to play with artillery in front of us. It's really a trick. Before the fleet of the Admiralty left us two 12-pound copper cannons and two 6-pound copper cannons, we were afraid of accidentally injuring civilians and causing unnecessary casualties. I don’t want to use it unless it’s a last resort. Since they have used copper cannons against us, we don’t have to hide and use them against them!” said the officer of the mountain battalion who stayed at the stronghold.

"Yes, they must be blown to the ground!" The soldiers of the mountain camp were very excited.

They use a lot of rifles, but the mountain battalion does not currently have specially equipped artillery, and they only have the opportunity to come into contact with artillery during training.The artillery currently used was unloaded from the warship by the Admiralty for fear that they would be attacked by refugees from the reclamation area, which is the current situation.

With the commander's order, they can use these four big killers without any scruples.

"Boss, the copper cannon should still work!" The pirate who cleaned the copper cannon excitedly reported to the pirate leader.

"Okay, okay, quickly deploy the copper cannon, point it there for me, boom..." The pirate leader pointed to a stone wall in the stronghold.

boom!The sound of the real artillery bombardment sounded at the moment when the pirate leader made his voice, and several shells fell from the sky, aiming directly at the positions of the copper cannons!

The pirate leader's eyes protruded, and his pupils dilated suddenly.Right in front of his eyes, a pirate gunner was hit by a solid bullet, and was dragged out for more than ten meters and hit the ground!His whole chest was sunken!

There is no need to check to see if something is wrong, because it is absolutely dead!
"Ah..." A clan elder fell to the ground in pain, clutching his heart.

Such a cruel and shocking picture appeared in front of him, and he was so stimulated that he had a heart attack.Sweat dripped from his wrinkled brow in pain.

"Old Wu, Elder Wu!" The rest of the clan elders and clansmen went to rescue him one after another.

"I... Let's fight back..." The pirate leader was stunned for a while, and then he said hesitantly.

But a thought echoed in his mind, that is, with these few old copper cannons, can he really suppress the cannons of the Liao army with such power and accuracy?
"The effect of the shelling is not satisfactory. It seems that a few pirates have been killed, but no artillery has been destroyed." The officer of the mountain battalion roughly estimated the effect of the shelling from the telescope, "Maybe the accuracy of our artillery is not accurate enough. Hit their artillery."

"Sir, I don't think you need to worry." A mountain battalion soldier said suddenly.

"Why do you say that?" asked the officer.

"Because our reinforcements have arrived, you see." The soldier pointed to the sea behind them.

The officer turned his head, and at some point, a troop transport fleet of the Liao Army appeared on the sea, with heavily armed soldiers on it.
