Is it better to have a skull opened? Or is it better to have a grenade blown and die with fine pieces of iron inserted all over your body?

It is best not to choose the best of both.

When the fierce and well-equipped Yongquan Grenadier rushed over, the remaining pirates finally lost the courage to resist. The bloody courage that had been plucked up when they charged just now was already destroyed by the shell storm that struck the head, so they turned around and ran away.

But how could Jianghai make them happy?

These are all living experience values!

The Yongquan Grenadier threw out the grenade in his hand without hesitation.

These clone soldiers with amazing power attributes have their arms placed in Major League Baseball and are also first-class bowlers. Although the distance between the two sides is still a little far, about thirty meters, some of the grenades thrown by the grenades actually crossed the pirates who were running away and landed on the way they could escape back to the stone fort.

Some of the remaining grenades fell among the pirates, and some even exploded in advance when flying over the pirates' heads!

After all, the original grenades of this era do not have any advanced fuses or triggering devices, and even the grenadiers themselves are easily injured when throwing grenades.

But at this time, this defect that is difficult to control the explosion time has become an advantage.

Even if pirates use common means of lying down, they cannot avoid the harm caused by the air-exploding grenade. After the gunpowder explodes, the huge energy it generates provides extremely high speed for the various iron sheets contained in the grenade, and flies out to the surroundings.

The pirates are the first to bear the brunt of the brunt.

After the grenade exploded, the screams immediately sounded. Several pirates' scalp were directly lifted by iron pieces, revealing the white skull inside. A few strands of hair stuck to the skull because of thick blood, which looked particularly miserable.

In addition to the grenades that exploded in advance, the grenades that landed on the ground began to explode in the chaotic pirate group, causing another bloody storm.

Only some lucky pirates, the grenade fuses that landed at their feet, were extinguished for various reasons, became duds and did not explode, and they saved their lives.

But this only means that they have a few more seconds of ease than those pirates who were killed and injured by grenades.

When he saw the tall and strong grenade in mitril inlaid leather armor rushed up, some pirates were immediately scared.

The light reflected by the sharp double-sided one-handed battle axe has the sharpness and coldness unique to metal. The light reflected in the eyes alone is enough to make the pirates feel frightened, not to mention the feeling of being cut on them.

No one wants to use his flesh and blood to test the sharpness of the other party's axe.

"I surrender!"

A pirate's legs became weak, and while kneeling down and shouting, he threw down the scimitar in his hand with a clang.

His behavior was like a beacon, pointing out the way for other pirates.

So the shouts of surrender and the clanging sounds of weapons falling from the ground rang one after another.

"Major William, these prisoners are left to you for your care. I'll take a step first!" Jiang Hai Qingpiao said a word to Major William, and then immediately rushed towards the city gate.

Major William looked a little ugly, and he felt bitter in his heart: Who told me that I was caught off guard by the pirates in the city just now and failed. Now the prison guards who have become prisoners have nothing to say. After all, it was not the bayonets of the Royal Guards, but the cannons and grenades commanded by Jiang Hai.

But Major William was still unwilling to accept it. He assigned a lieutenant to distribute fifty people to guard the pirate prisoners of about two hundred people. The remaining guards followed him and rushed into the castle with the Gondor musketeers.

Jiang Hai didn't say anything about Major William's behavior.

After all, I am young and energetic, so it is normal to avenge my previous shame. Besides, the stone castle is so big, it is easy for a small number of elite troops in Jianghai to repel pirates, but it is difficult to quickly and efficiently loot what I want.

After entering the city gate, Jiang Hai found that there was not only a workshop for sewing sails, but also a small factory for making rigging, but also a small food workshop for processing and pickling food for long-term navigation!

"Shao Feng is not simple. If he continues to develop according to this trend, he might soon be able to create his own dry dock and have the ability to build ships independently. If it weren't for this attack by the East India Company, maybe this group of Southeast Asian pirates could continue to grow and build a pirate kingdom comparable to Tunisia and Algiers in North Africa!"

He sighed in his heart that Jianghai commanded the troops and carefully advanced towards the second gate in the atrium.

After all, Major William just suffered a small loss, which made Jiang Hai dare not underestimate the command ability of the other pirate senior management.

Although the pirates are only five-strong in combat compared to the regular army, they still have the ability to play with conspiracies and tricks.

The troops continued to advance, and as the pirate flag fluttered on the atrium tower became clearer, Jianghai still found no movement in the pirates.

At this moment, he heard the sound of horse hooves rumbling behind him.

"Damn it, it's the Dragoon of the woman Red Rose!"

Just now, when the guards were ambushed and retreated in a hurry; when the pirates rushed out of the city gate and were hit by the shotgun fired by artillery; when the Yongquan Grenadiers launched an attack and finally captured the pirates, Red Rose and her one hundred and fifty dragon cavalry who should have helped in the battle were gone.

But now she has gained the upper hand and is about to attack the inner palace watchtower, she led her troops to catch up with her unique mobility of the cavalry.

Splattered with soil and dust, one hundred and fifty dragon cavalrymen of Red Rose rushed past the main road in the fort, and threw the infantrymen walking on their legs in Jianghai far behind.

In addition to the flying red hair, the red rose also left a series of contemptuous laughter on Jiang Hai who was left behind.

"I will suffer when fighting, and you will enjoy the blessings and earn money. How can you do this in the world be so good?" Jiang Hai sneered in his heart as he looked at the cavalry troops flying away.

As if it was a prophecy, the Red Rose's Dragoon came to the silent and unmanned atrium gate. They were about to dismount and fight on foot. The pirates hiding behind the battlements of the city walls appeared in front of Red Rose in one go.

The number of firearms in these pirates' hands is several times more than when defending the outer city wall just now!

Even behind this solid atrium gate, two 64-pound mortars are placed on the top floor of the watchtower!

Unlike the front-mounted cannons that are mainly used for direct firing, the mortar cannons that can be bending can exert their maximum power in such urban combat with complex terrain. The shells with curves can often bypass defensive buildings and give the enemy a fatal blow.

The two mortars installed on the watchtower were obviously carefully debugged in advance, and the shooting down point was set in front of the gate of the Atrium City.

There were originally several wooden houses in front of the city gate, but in order to expand the horizon and shooting range, the pirates had already razed the place to the ground.
