Chapter 130 The Great Cause and Military Expenditure (1)

??I have tried my best to choose when it is late at night. At this time, few people can watch it at the fastest, usually it will be at least half an hour before it can be modified to the correct content.

It's okay to read on the computer, and it's okay to automatically subscribe with the mobile app. As long as I haven't clicked on the chapter before I modified it. Once I clicked on it, the wrong chapter content will be downloaded and entered into the mobile phone cache. At this time, even if I modify the mobile client, it is still the wrong content and will never change.

At this time, you can only download this chapter again. If it doesn’t work, you can only delete the book and remove it, and then add it again and put it on the shelves.

There are few people reading niche books and are rampant. There is no way to do so. If you don’t do this, you can’t make it. I’m sorry.

***************************************************

"Now we have only eight platoons of the 101st Army Company, including 128 rifles, and 8 personnel from the company (including company-level officers, chief officers, messengers, military doctors, etc.), with a total of 136 people. Oh, two soldiers died a while ago, and now there are only 134 people." Shi Qinjie took out a piece of paper and wrote and painted it on it, "In addition, 54 Eight Banners supervisors and 610 healthy slaves, by the way, you have transported 600 slaves and 50 supervisors, so the manpower will be even more abundant."

"Don't consider slaves, they are not very reliable. Even if they are loyal enough, their combat effectiveness is suspicious. Going to the battlefield will only cause trouble for us." Li Yi said, "Even the existing 104 Eight Banners supervisors should not consider it. Their task is to be optimistic about the more than 1,200 slaves, so that they can complete their work with quality and quantity, and not make any other requirements. With the existing more than 100 army soldiers, I can also get more than 100 sailors and gunners in my fleet. These have been on the battlefield and have rich combat experience. It should be no problem to deal with those natives."

"Well, you are doing military wars, I authorize them all to you. I will make a decision if I fight or not, how can I fight you make a decision? After all, you are a professional." Shi Qinjie said happily, "Let's do this, let the brothers rest and rest in the past two days, and then wait for a good weather before setting off. In October and November, there is not that much rain, so it's not difficult to wait for a few sunny days. This damn rainy day cannot exert the power of our arms. Do you have to put on your armor and take swords to fight those savages? Okay, let's do it, rest first, I'm tired after sailing for so long."

In the next two days, such a tense and orderly atmosphere was entered in Xinhua Castle. On the one hand, the slaves were gathered to build the city walls and cement kilns in the rain, while the supervisors were wearing breastplate, holding spears, bows and arrows to watch the bushes around the construction site vigilantly to prevent the sudden attack from the savages. On the other hand, the soldiers of the 101st Company of the Army also received a long-lost mobilization order from their superiors. They had been in a humid and hot area for a long time and almost felt that their bodies were rusted. After receiving the mobilization order that might have to attack the barbarians' nests, they were not too nervous. On the contrary, they were very calm, and even a hint of excitement in the calm. This is a good opportunity to make a fortune!

On November 2, the sun shone brightly. The rain that had been falling for several days finally stopped last night. The long-lost sunshine spread its hot light on every corner of Xinhuaxia Bay. The world washed by rain was fresh, with wild grasses, flowers and big trees green and green, and even the air smelled much better than usual.

The 6 infantry platoons of 96 people from the 101st Company (two platoons left behind in the city) were neatly arranged in the open space outside the city wall. The 101st Company had a tiny yellow khaki uniform, high-coated cowhide boots, white canvas armed belts, and black-brimmed caps, which made the slaves who worked in the work tremble. Those who didn't know the situation thought that these soldiers were going to attack them.

The captain of the Madagascar pioneer team, Shi Qinjie, stood in front of the team surrounded by Lieutenant Lie Yi, Deputy Company of the 101st Company, Taoist Priest Shou, and Navy Sergeant Kyle. Looking at this neatly-looking army, Shi Qinjie was about to say something, but suddenly heard a cannon sound.

He was almost frightened and was about to speak out. He was about to turn around and ask where he was firing, but suddenly heard a sound that shocked him: "Enemy attack! Barbarian! On the sea!"

With a "huh", Navy Lieutenant Lie Yi rushed to the dock first. He saw dense canoes rushing towards the coast at a fast speed on the sea surface in Xinhuaxia Bay. Each of these canoes can sit 30-50 people, and floating materials are hung on the outside of the boat. It looks like canoes in Indonesia. Li Yi counted roughly, and there were no less than ten of them within his field of view, and there were many more behind him.

These savages driving canoes were also shocked when they saw several large ships anchored in the harbor behind the forest. However, at this time, the arrow was already on the string and there was no room for retreat. Therefore, they simply divided the troops into two groups, and the smaller ones headed towards several large ships, trying to seize the ship; while most of the forces rushed towards the shore. No matter which group, they all tried their best to speed up the boat and rushed towards their respective targets.

Taoist Shou had gathered all the soldiers of the 101st Company of the Army. These experienced soldiers lined up to about 100 meters behind the coconut forest behind the dock, which was just in the middle of the dock and Xinhua Fort city. The officers began to order the inspection of weapons, recharge and ammunition. The soldiers who loaded the ammunition held their breath and looked ahead with concentration. The morning temperature was only about 25 degrees, but the solemn and dull atmosphere still made sweat oozing on many soldiers' foreheads.

The battle on the sea broke out before the shore. Several officers left behind on the ship organized sailors to draw anchors and raise sails, while organizing gunners to use grape bullets. The bombs opened fire on the canoe fleets that were rushing over the sea ahead, intending to kill their personnel in large numbers first. On the deck of the ship, a large group of sailors also replaced with bright steel breastplates, with a saber hanging around their waists, and a loaded musket in their hands, ready to rogue guns under the command of the officers at any time.

Because the deck of the East Coast Fleet ships was too high and the canoes were too short, the damage effect of grape bombs was very poor, especially when these barbarians had successfully brought the distance closer. Therefore, after a while of shooting, the officers simply ordered all bombs to be replaced. Although this kind of shell was not very reliable, after too many shooting, there were always a few shots that could explode over the dense canoes, causing nightmarish casualties to the barbarians that would never be forgotten for life.

After Li Yi looked at the enemy on the sea on the dock, he quickly ran towards the city. Because he didn't run anymore, the barbarians on the sea were about to land.

"Rise the gun!" Taoist Shou stood at the head of the right side of the team wearing his breastplate, and raised the command knife in his hand.

Some barbarians had already landed, and they were squaring on the dock in a noisy manner, and behind them were more barbarians rowing boats quickly towards the shore. About two or three hundred barbarians who came ashore were only wearing uncolored linen clothes, and their weapons were varied, some were short swords, some were spears, and some were short spears. Most of them had no shields in their hands, and only a few people who looked like officers had a wooden shield in their hands. After they got ashore, they knew to set up a team first, instead of rushing up in a swarm, which showed that these people were still organized and disciplined, not like pirate-like mobs.

"First row, squatting posture; second row, third row, stance, preparation..." Taoist Shou looked at the barbarians who were struggling to cross the coconut forest and rushed towards the city with messy steps, and couldn't help but observe a moment of silence for them. These barbarians seemed to have never had contact with Europeans. Faced with well-trained and fully-formed flintlock rifle formations, even the elite European cavalry would feel a headache, not to mention that they were not civilized with poor equipment and insufficient training. It seems that today is destined to be their nightmare day.

"Shoot!" Taoist Shou suddenly waved the saber in his hand. The platoon leaders who had long watched him quickly blew the copper whistle in their mouths. When the sharp whistle spread throughout the square formation, the first row of 32 muskets launched fire almost at the same time. Although the wet weather affected the firing rate, nearly twenty muskets were still successfully fired.

After the first row of shooting was completed, they immediately started to load the drugs and refuels; and the second row, which followed their footsteps, also fired a round of volleys in turn. It seems that due to the influence of wet weather, the rifle fire rate today is generally only 60%, but this is enough.

The barbarians crowded at the exit of the Pier Shugang Highway suffered heavy casualties under more than a hundred muskets. The officers or warriors who rushed to the front seemed to be holding wooden shields. Their strong bodies were torn apart by lead bullets flying over at high speed, and screams came one after another.

Before they could react, the second wave of volleyball fires followed one after another. Many soldiers in the 101st Company, who had been trained for a long time, were former veterans. Now they were re-enlisted and were in a very relaxed mood when facing these savages who had a generation difference from their weapons. Their loading speed was extremely fast, and they basically reached the speed of two shots in one minute during training. Under their guidance, the recruits who had first been on the battlefield gradually calmed down, and their loading hands began to stop trembling, and they could basically perform at their normal level.

The casualties caused by the second wave of scattered shots were also heavy. Without reacting, the barbarians who were still rushing forward desperately seemed to hit a wall head-on, and the hot lead bullets knocked their bodies to blood and blood.

Under the command of the officers, the soldiers of the 101st Company mechanically repeated the movements of loading, loading and shooting. The entire team was like a sophisticated war machine, killing the enemies in front of them efficiently.

After the six or seven rounds of volleys, few enemies could still stand in front of them. Within a range of 40 to 100 meters in front of their formation, no less than two hundred corpses were densely killed. The bodies were terrifyingly dead, and blood flowed out and soaked the ground. The only dozens of barbarians stood stupidly on the ground, their mouths wide open and their weapons drooped. They neither rushed forward nor ran back, and seemed to have been frightened by the scene in front of them.

"Go forward!" Taoist Shou pointed his command knife forward. The soldiers of the 101st Company held up rifles and slowly approached forward amid the officers' command "one, two, one". At this time, the barbarians woke up like dreams and ran back. Many people were tripped to the ground by the corpses, but they did not get up after falling to the ground. They just held their heads and muttered to themselves, as if they were praying to the gods.

Taoist Shou shook his head. He knew that these people had been broken by the volley of guns today.
