Chapter 15 Cannon Fodder and Consumption
The Red Snake pirate ship was originally loaded with more than 500 Anba pirates. After the last battle of the boarding, Jiang Hai took advantage of the chaos and suffered heavy attacks. The number of personnel was severely reduced. Now there are about 200 people left on the ship. However, these 200 Anba pirates are stronger than Jiang Hai's troops in both long and close combat. What's more, there is a bald brother at the leader level who is in the formation.
After Jiang Hai's command was killed and injured, there were more than 150 people left, of which half of the seamen of Dor'anros and the Gondor militia archers each accounted for half. If they were playing the jumping gang battle, Jiang Hai's militia archers with only one short sword and leather armor would probably not be long before they would be beaten to zero organizational level and be completely defeated. Only the seamen could last longer.
Fortunately, there were 12 hours of preparation time and the abundant resources left by Li Xin gave Jiang Hai’s plan conditions for implementation.
After making up his mind, Jiang Hai immediately issued a disbanding order to the two teams of militia archers and a team of Dorian Ross seamen under his command. However, this order was not executed immediately and required a certain disbanding time. The corresponding disbanding time of the troops was half of the construction time.
The Gondor militia archers took three hours to build, while the Dorian Ross seaman took four hours to build.
One and a half hours after the dissolution order was issued, the soldiers on the Wind turned into white light and disappeared without a trace. Two hours later, except for a pair of Dor'anros seamen left to operate the sailboat, all other troops were disbanded.
At this time, Jiang Hai's leadership was vacant. He immediately asked the Imperial Barracks to start building a team of walking swan knights, and allowed the tribal hut that had long been forgotten in the corner to produce two teams of tribal warriors in a row.
These backward troops that Jianghai originally looked down upon may be the key to the situation in the war and the last straw that broke the camel's back.
It only took two hours, two teams of tribal warriors with a total of 100 people were finished production and deployed on the Wind. Jiang Hai asked them to enter the middle deck and standby. Then he continued to wait.
As time goes by, the production progress bars in the barracks are gradually increasing.
Nine hours later, the powerful Walking Swan Knight finally made a brilliant debut.

It was the evening of the next day. The Red Snake pirate ship, which was closely tied behind the Wind, was already very close to it. Jiang Hai could already see the hideous and terrifying pirate flag on the other party's black sail: a white skull wrapped around two red poisonous snakes spitting their letters.
Let 50 walking swan knights hide on the lower deck and wait for the organization to recover. Jiang Hai quietly climbed up the mast and hid in the observation deck. He held the heavy armor-breaking crossbow that had been loaded and waited quietly. His mood was like the cold cone-shaped armor-breaking arrow, longing for blood and showing his sharpness.
Only half of the bright red setting sun was still exposed above the sea level. For example, patients with terminal illnesses were weak and emitted the few remaining light and heat. The darkness began to come impatiently.
After giving all the hidden orders, the Yingfeng seemed to have turned into a ghost ship, and there was no one on the upper deck, which was terriblely quiet.
After 12 hours of pursuit, the Red Snake finally caught the Wind. In order to catch up with this cunning sailboat, the pirates were forced to throw a large amount of treasure into the sea. Everyone was filled with anger. Greed and the desire for blood made the anger burn more and more vigorously.
The bald pirate leader stood at the bow of the ship and stared at the lifeless Yingfeng. There was a wound on his chest that had not yet been scabbed, which was caused by a young man with a dark hair and black-eyed leader on the Yingfeng.
The pirate leader caressed the wound, and a trace of hot pain stimulated the nerves, making his heart even more violent. Only by killing the young man who hurt him with his own hands and then sacrificing all his flesh and blood to the demon king Milkou, and his successor, Zoro, can he calm down.
"Captain, the other party's ship has no movement at all, it seems a bit strange!" A subordinate bent over and walked to the bald pirate and said carefully, "Be careful of the other party's tricks."
"The vast sea is a lonely boat. The other party cannot escape or summon reinforcements. What tricks can you tell me?" The pirate leader looked down on his subordinates' suggestions and continued to order to move forward at full speed.
When the two ships were close to more than ten meters, the pirates threw out their grappling hooks and connected the Red Snake and the Wind with more than a dozen ropes. Then, long wooden boards were placed between the two ships as a temporary bridge for the pirates to attack.
Some pirates who couldn't wait and wanted to take the lead in boarding the ship to rob, grabbed a cable and swung towards the wind.
The military strategy says: attack it half-ferry. When these pirates crowded on the narrow wooden bridge like sardines, and before they boarded the ship, Jianghai issued an order to allow 100 tribal warriors hiding on the middle deck and 50 Dorianros seamen to attack.
The pirates were surprised to find that the originally empty Shin-Wingfeng suddenly appeared, with about 100 savages wearing animal skins and holding wooden sticks and stone spears. They let out a whirring sound of unknown significance, and instantly submerged several pirates who were the first to board the ship like a tide.
"Where did these savages come from? Could it be that man was a mage who was transformed out of thin air?" The bald pirate leader was confused by this sudden situation.
With the advantage of the raid, the tribe warriors quickly blocked the pirates on several temporary wooden bridges, and the two sides started a close-knit fight. The Dorianros sailors stood behind the tribe warriors and mercilessly threw the javelin at the densely crowded pirates. Each seaman had three javelins. After all they threw, they drew their long swords and joined the hand-to-hand battle line.
On the narrow deck, the body and the body are tightly attached, with almost no room to wield weapons. Swords intersect, and bright blood blooms on each other's chests. Broken limbs splashed, screams one after another, and the blood on the deck gathered into a stream and flowed to the sea.
"Tonight, the sharks can have a full meal." Jiang Hai hid in the observation deck and observed the battle situation on the ship from a high point. As he expected, after the initial panic, the pirates quickly gained the upper hand with their advantages in combat skills and weapons. However, these low-cost tribal warriors, even the Dorianros seamen, were just cannon fodder for sacrifice. Their mission was to consume the pirates' sharpness and physical strength.
A large number of casualties and high-intensity battles caused the tribal warriors with only 10 organization to collapse quickly and began to flee in all directions. Then, this panic led to the remaining twenty seafarers and gave up resistance.
But there is no place for them to escape on this small deck.
The pirates who thought they had won the victory cheered and occupied the upper deck of the Yingfeng and began to chase and kill the fleeing soldiers in all directions. None of them remained, and all of them were slaughtered like animals.
It took the pirates more than an hour to clear the remaining enemies on the deck. After they piled up the bodies into hills, they no longer had the energy to search the lower deck, but sat on the still blood-stained deck.
When the bald pirate leader who had not joined the battle walked onto the deck of the Wind, Jiang Hai issued an attack order to the 50 walking swan knights who had been raising their strength.
"It's time...Brother Bald, try my crossbow arrow!"
