The pirates 'attack was over. "You've really gotten off easy…"
Although Liu Qi let go of the pirate below him, he still gave the latter a few punches, causing him to bleed from his nose and mouth.
Despite suffering a few heavy blows, the injured lackey still managed to turn over and kneel on the ground. He kowtowed a few times, solemnly expressing his gratitude for not killing him. His bitter face, which was covered in blood, looked like it had been smeared with ketchup. There was a trace of pain, but there was also a trace of joy in his life.
"We won!"
The victors on the shoal raised their arms and shouted. Waves of cheers pierced through the dark night sky and poured into the ears of thousands of pirates. The pirates who were attacking the city immediately shouted that things were not good. If the Kun bandits were allowed to dispatch reinforcements across the sea and attack from both sides, it would be like a hammer hitting a steel plate on an anvil. The minions who were besieging the small "Sea Castle" would be wiped out in an instant. This terrifying prospect made the leader of the siege shudder.
Looking at the Sea Fortress, which was much smaller than the High Official Fortress, the leader felt both regretful and regretful. He regretted that he could not attack the Sea Fortress and rob the Kun bandits. He regretted that he did not concentrate his forces to destroy the Sea Fortress first. That way, he could attack the High Official across the sea and defend the Sea Fortress. Then, he could let the battleships get closer and bombard the High Official.
However, the pirate leader also realized that even if they took down the Sea Castle as they wished, they might not be able to stop the Kun bandits 'fast guns and heavy cannons.
The firearms of the Kun Thief were truly terrifying!
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!
The pirates gave the order, and thousands of them scattered and retreated. The sound of guns and cannons rang out behind them. The orderly retreat had instantly turned into a complete defeat due to the sporadic damage caused by the cannons. The loose organization of the mob was vividly displayed at this moment. The players who came to the northern end of the island as reinforcements arrived. Li Mu led the entire army and ran all the way. On the way, there were only the sound of guns and roars. They had already lost their will to fight. At this moment, they encountered the victorious army of the Kun bandits. The more than 3,000 pirates were defeated in a single contact. They knelt down and surrendered under the threat of bayonet and musket.
Because the sky was still dark and the enemy's situation was unknown, the Australian and Song sides remained on the defensive. They waited until dawn to observe whether the enemy would choose to leave or fight again the next day.
However, anyone who knew military common sense would understand that the enemy's attack had been completely defeated and they had lost the courage to fight again.
For Liu Xiang, losing thousands of land warriors was a tragic failure that hurt her bones. As one of the top five pirate groups in China, they would probably fall to the second or third rate after this defeat.
After hours of fierce fighting, the flames in the city and town were gradually extinguished by the soldiers. Several warships that had been detonated by gunpowder were still burning slowly on the sea. The bright flames were like huge torches, illuminating the surrounding night scene.
The militia and natives cleaned up the battlefield and collected the shells while looting the corpses. Some of them carried a few strings of copper coins, some carried good knives, and some were equipped with scales and iron armor. Now, all of them had become trophies and became the property of the transmigration organization.
Excluding the pirates killed in the pursuit, the Ao Song Group had captured a total of 4,000 pirates. Wang Kaizhi led the militia and Yuan veterans to patrol the bloody battlefield. The corpses were everywhere, emitting a strong smell of blood. The ground was full of the pirates 'light and heavy injuries, and the screams and screams were continuous.
For those lying on the ground. The Australian and Song Dynasties naturally would not waste medical resources and manpower on the severely injured pirates who were wailing. As long as they could not be treated, they would directly stab them and throw them into the sea to feed the fish.
The medics from the two strongholds as well as the people from Chikan rushed to the front line of the battlefield to treat the injured soldiers and natives. Wang Kaizhi walked into the Great Official Fortress to greet the soldiers after the battle. While encouraging everyone's morale, he ordered his subordinates to quickly cook supper for the soldiers to eat. The energy consumption of a fierce battle was huge, and the soldiers should be hungry.
After a while, he took the post-battle statistics from the officer. He roughly glanced at the Song army, which had killed more than 2,000 enemies. They had used more than 3,000 bullets and more than 200 shells. Five Fubo soldiers had died, 19 were injured, and about 100 natives had died.
Those who died were killed by artillery shells and muskets, while those who were injured were only a few soldiers who had rushed forward and suffered the fierce counterattack of the pirates. The other injured people basically fell to the ground because they ran too fast, or injured their feet because they were too nervous when moving the shells.
As for the casualties of the players, they could be ignored. After all, the androids still had 2000 "backup manpower." However, the changes in certain aspects of the players made Wang Kaizhi look at them in a new light. The appearance of the Commander Mode gave the players a new look. The cohesiveness and organization of the players had a qualitative leap compared to the previous loose state.
Everyone was immersed in the battlefield where guns and cannons were flying everywhere. Their every move was the demeanor of a heroic warrior. This battle had brought out the glory of the combat group players. They had already become a fierce army that could fight. Such a thousand elite soldiers were enough to beat the Wei Army, which was ten times that of the Ming Dynasty. Even if it was the elites of the border towns who had been through battle for a long time, they did not put them in their eyes.
It would be even better if there was a tacit understanding between the soldiers. Most players were too casual with their weapons. A player wished that he could have a broadsword, a short sword, a musket, a bow, a rattan armor, and an iron helmet. However, when it came to a real battle, he could only use his broadsword to slash the enemy. The other weapons and equipment were either on his back or lost in the intense running.
It seemed that there was a need to give more rewards to professional players to encourage them to advance towards a single unit…The sword-shield soldiers should familiarize themselves with sword-shield techniques, the spearmen should play with stabbing defense and spear charging, and the musketeers should practice loading and shooting. They should aim for three shots per minute, and the chaos of one person holding four weapons should be reduced as soon as possible.
If the players could change in the direction that Wang Kaizhi had hoped for, he believed that the elite troops formed by the Combat Group players and the androids 'followers would only need three to four thousand people to shine like the Qi Family's Army, or even be more powerful than the Qi Family's Army. Because players were not afraid of death!
At that time, if Wang Kaizhi wanted to interfere with the situation in Southeast Asia or enter the mainland of Ming, this elite force of thousands of people could be sent to all parts of East Asia at any time.
Not long after the battle ended, the work of screening the captives began. 4000 captives were 4000 young and strong laborers. If they were used properly, they would bring immeasurable benefits to Australia and Song, but using them would inevitably bring a considerable degree of risk.
Although the pirates had put down their weapons and surrendered, entrusting their lives to Wang Kaizhi, they were still unstable factors. Their social relations and the old relationship between superiors and subordinates were still like spider silk, maintaining a network of relationships.
Facing the captives from both sides, Wang Kaizhi adopted a different strategy.
