The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

Of course, unless it is absolutely necessary, Ye Tianlong will not let these untrained civilians go up to fight these fierce pirates. After all, once these untrained civilians go to the battlefield, the casualties will definitely be huge. At that time, he will have to find a way to recruit a new group of people, and he will have to pay a large sum of money to Baron Saul. After all, these civilian husbands are nominally the people under his rule! And Ye Tianlong was originally hired in the name of hiring a civilian husband. If there were a lot of casualties, it would be strange if Baron Saul didn't take the opportunity to blackmail him!

Ye Tianlong was discussing tactics with several other team members at this time. After all, there were so many pirates that they couldn't act recklessly this time.

After discussion, everyone decided to move the pirates closer. After all, the six cannons equipped by our side were extremely primitive front-loaded artillery, with a low rate of fire, and they fired solid bullets instead of blooming bullets. The ammunition is not very lethal and the accuracy is not very good. If you fire from a distance, relying on amateur gunners like them, you will be lucky if you can kill more than a dozen enemies, and it will be easier for the enemy to discover the artillery in advance. To deal with the threat, they chose to disperse and advance instead of gathering into three hundred-man squares to attack like now.

In addition to artillery, the accuracy of the flintlock rifles used by the armed civilians on our side is actually not very good. In addition, most of the armed civilians have only fired a few shots in the training ground, and they have barely learned how to aim, shoot and Loading, there is still a long way to go before becoming that sharpshooter! Because those flintlock rifles with poor accuracy fall into the hands of these half-baked soldiers, their hit rate is even less reliable.

That's why Ye Tianlong and the others decided to bring the enemy close to about fifty meters before starting to fight. At such a close distance, and with all the soldiers firing volleys, they could always get a few hits!

And those artillery pieces are all ready to shoot shotguns. Ye Tianlong and the others have improved and perfected the artillery several times before, so that they can shoot both large solid shells and small steel ball shotguns. However, if the shotgun is fired, the effective killing distance will be greatly reduced. After testing, when the shotgun is fired, the effective killing distance is only about [-] or [-] meters, so this time I am also preparing to fight with those The rifleman also waits for the enemy to be within fifty meters before firing.

When the time comes, artillery, flintlock rifles and grenades will all come together to try and defeat the pirates in the first round, leaving them with no chance to react.

If they adopt this style of play, Ye Tianlong and the others will have to withstand the enemy's arrow rain for a period of time. Fortunately, the enemies they encounter this time are pirates. If you are a disciple, that would be bad!

Compared to wild monsters like the Green Forest Bandits, which are all archers, although there are archers among these pirates, they are not many in number. Among the large pirate battle groups of more than [-] people, there are only about [-] archers. They look human, but their strength and equipment are quite good. Most of them are equipped with longbows, and some are obviously at the mini-boss level and even equipped with war bows. The arrows are also barbed arrows and cone-headed arrows. These kind of good arrows with relatively high lethality, even though Ye Tianlong and the others were wearing heavy armor, after being hit by the wave of arrows before, many of the arrows successfully broke through the armor, and the damage caused to Ye Tianlong and the others, although The damage isn't high! But the cumulative effect is still enough to wear them to death.

These were just a few archers among the pirates. If they had continued to get closer and entered the range of the opponent's throwing weapons, Ye Tianlong suspected that even a master of Ming Jin like himself might have been defeated by the opponent in just a few seconds. He would be thrown to death within a few minutes. After all, although the range of those throwing weapons is much closer than that of crossbows, and their effective range is generally only twenty or thirty meters, their basic damage value and armor-breaking ability are far greater than those of bows and arrows. And those pirates are basically equipped with a bag of javelins or throwing axes. If more than two hundred people are throwing strikes together, the density of firepower will be extremely terrifying, especially as these NPCs' combat IQs have improved a lot. If you know how to predict, your hit rate will definitely be much higher than in the original horse-and-blade game. Even a master of energy like Li Rufeng would be severely damaged by the overwhelming javelins and flying axes if he charged into his army formation.

When Ye Tianlong and the others discussed their tactics and began to make corresponding arrangements, the pirates had successfully approached about [-] meters away from the camp. Under the cover of their teammates, the archers among the pirates moved forward one by one. He nocked his bow and arrows, aimed at the civilians in the camp, and began to throw arrows.

Seeing this, Ye Tianlong and the others hurriedly asked everyone to raise their shields for defense. Fortunately, shields were also consumable equipment. Ye Tianlong and the others had made and stockpiled a lot of them before, and now they were basically able to have a steel shield for each person. As the sparse arrow rain fell, the arrows and shields collided with each other, making a clanging sound. However, it did not cause any casualties. It only made the atmosphere in the camp more tense. After all, the arrows The sound of constantly hitting the shield was like a signal, telling everyone that the battle had officially begun.

"Hold still! Don't shoot!" Ye Tianlong helped several civilians load a large amount of steel ball bullets into the cannon, and comforted the armed civilians next to him to prevent anyone from being unable to withstand it. The pressure fired early, disrupting their set-up.

Under the comfort of Ye Tianlong and others, the armed civilians all hid behind the bunkers and did not open fire rashly.

But this situation made the morale of the other side's pirates even higher. After all, in their opinion, the other side was obviously frightened by their huge military power and did not even dare to fight back.

And the Pirate King Abaddon was not surprised at all by this situation. After all, according to Potts, there were not many regular soldiers in the camp. The only organized armed forces were dozens of newly armed soldiers. He was just an armed civilian, with extremely poor morale and training. The number of soldiers under his command was even greater than the total population of the opponent's camp. It was only natural that the opponent would be frightened by his huge military power.

Because the enemy didn't fight back at all, the pirates couldn't help but speed up their advance. Everyone wanted to rush into the camp and plunder them early.

Soon, the pirates were only about a hundred meters away from the camp. At this distance, under the cover of their teammates, the arrows fired by the pirates' archers became more and more powerful. Ye Tianlong, who was not far away, The shield in the civilian husband's hand was accidentally knocked open by a cone-headed arrow. Then the sharp cone-headed arrow penetrated the gap between the shields like a slippery loach and plunged into the man. The husband's thighs.

This cone-headed arrow had a strong ability to penetrate armor. It directly penetrated the chainmail skirt that the civilian husband had just put on, and injured his thigh. Fortunately, the layer of chainmail also reduced part of its strength, so This arrow only caused some superficial injuries. The civilian husband even insisted on standing on the spot holding the shield after groaning and did not fall down.

However, Ye Tianlong would not let the wounded continue to fight. Anyway, in addition to the fifty armed civilians, there were more than a hundred ordinary civilians! It is enough to assist them in fighting. So when Ye Tianlong saw this, he immediately called two peasant women and asked them to help the injured farmer back to the warehouse behind to clean and bandage the wound.

After Ye Tianlong had people take the injured civilian husband down, the pirates were almost fifty meters away from the camp, and above this distance, there was the first layer of barbed wire that he had just pulled up. As the outermost line of defense of the camp.

The pirates did not dare to break through the barbed wire fences full of sharp blades and spikes. Instead, they prepared to use their weapons to cut off these obstructions before moving on.

Ye Tianlong took advantage of the opportunity when these pirates were blocked by the barbed wire fences and loudly issued an order to fight back.

Immediately, the six cannons that had been loaded long ago were pushed out from three directions of the camp. With loud noises like thunder, large swaths of shotgun steel balls shot out from the muzzles, like The goddess scattered flowers in a fan shape towards the pirates who were crowded in front of the barbed wire fence.

The chainmail armors worn by the pirates at the front were unable to withstand the shotgun shells fired from the cannons. Bloody flowers burst out from their bodies immediately, and then they fell down wailing.

Before these pirates who had just fallen could breathe their last, the simple slingshots in the camp threw grenades with ignited fuses at them.

Due to their crude craftsmanship, these grenades exploded at different times. Some of them exploded a few seconds after they hit the ground, while others exploded while they were still in the air. This resulted in the pirates being bombarded from all directions from above, below, left, and right in an instant. Large swaths of elite pirates were knocked down by the sharp iron nails and pieces of iron that exploded.

Finally, the armed civilians holding flintlock rifles suddenly stood up from behind the bunker amid the loud shouts of Ye Tianlong and others, and pulled the triggers at the surviving pirates who were still standing.

After this round of gunfire from the armed civilians, the scene suddenly fell into a brief silence, because Ye Tianlong and the others suddenly discovered that after this series of fierce fire strikes like a storm, the opposite side seemed to be no longer visible. There was less than one pirate left standing.

After a few seconds, a few weak screams rang out from the messy pile of corpses opposite, finally waking up Ye Tianlong and the others.

"Immediately reload and attach the bayonet. After reloading, a group of five people began to clean the battlefield and rifle at the corpses one by one. Unless the opponent surrenders voluntarily, do not show mercy. After all, these are ferocious seamen who kill without blinking an eye. Kou!"

Under Ye Tianlong's order, the armed civilians immediately began to reload the flintlock rifles in their hands, and then pulled out the sharp bayonets from their waists and mounted them on the rifles.

The ordinary civilians who were behind them began to reload the artillery and grenades in the catapults, ready to provide heavy fire support to their companions in front.

It wasn't until Ye Tianlong led the first team of armed civilians out of the bunker and began to slowly approach the battlefield in front of the corpses that everyone in the camp finally slowly realized that they had actually won this battle so easily. In one battle, more than three hundred well-equipped pirates were wiped out in the blink of an eye, so fast that they didn't even have time to react.
