044 degrees (2)
Lee Hwan approached the enemy like a ghost and sniped them from 50 meters away.
Thankfully, the enemies were each holding a torch, so the accuracy was also high.
They had matchlock guns, and in order to load the guns, torches were essential in many ways, so they were behaving like that.
Taang!
“Ahhh!”
The 20 bullets didn’t hit the enemies in flight, but at least Lee Hwan’s bullets killed each person one by one, so the enemy line was full of blood.
The pirates were confused by the raining fountain of blood.
“I am the enemy!”
“Chief! Enemy bullets pour down from all directions! It seems that we are under siege!”
There was a white man in command of 500 men, a man of great size and a hat with blue feathers on his head.
Lee Hwan deliberately selected only those close to the commander and shot them.
Pu ha ha ha!
One shot he shot killed another pirate.
‘Let’s see how strong you are.’
Surprisingly, the commander was counting the number of bullets being thrown.
The number of intermittently pouring bullets was about 20 rounds at a time, which was about 5-6 rounds per minute.
The guy didn’t move the bullet from his seat, he was chasing it with his eyes all the way to the end, muttering something.
So, Lee Hwan purposely shot only around the commander.
When I listened, I could hear the voices of the men faintly.
“Chief! Enemies… … .”
“The number of bullets is 20, firing 5-6 rounds per minute would mean that the enemy has at least 40 men.”
The general public probably couldn’t hear it because of the gunshots and the murmur of people, but Lee Hwan heard it accurately.
Like a dog, his hearing was extremely sensitive.
‘… … Thanks to this, I was able to unintentionally eavesdrop on the enemy even if I thought my hearing was going to go down. Heh, I don’t know what his black energy is, but it’s really useful.’
He knew best that he had transcended the human realm.
Now, he was just showing off his immense power to the fullest.
The enemy commander thought that Lee Hwan’s squad consisted of at least 40 and less than 50.
“Even though we were under siege, it would be absurd that 500 men were unilaterally defeated by only 40 to 50 men!”
He shouted at his subordinates.
“The number of enemy troops is at most around 40! We go our way, responding appropriately to the enemy!”
“But where are you shooting?”
“It’s about advancing slowly, concentrating firepower on where the bullets came from!”
He thought that it was night, and that a bad watch was an enemy or an ally.
I was mistaken one by one, because the cartridge rifle was sufficiently reloadable even in the dark, it was possible to fire with just the adaptation.
Although it cannot accurately hit the enemy, once it can fire a gun in the air, it is already half ahead.
‘Whoa, you idiot.’
Lee Hwan instructed the soldiers to shoot while moving to a pre-designated location as if playing Ganggangsullae.
However, he emphasized the importance of hiding it as quietly as possible without saying a word.
In addition, he emphasized that when shooting the gun, lie down and stay slightly out of the enemy’s firing line.
Perhaps the enemies were really shoveling in the air, and Lee Hwan’s troops would be able to ravage the enemy without any damage.
Tang Tang!
Now, bullets flew from the enemy camp as well.
As expected of Lee Hwan, there was no damage to the allies, but as he stood up openly while shooting and poked his muzzle, it became food for the soldiers.
Bloody!
“Ahhh!”
Now that the soldiers were using fairly stable marksmanship, there were more effective shots that hit the enemy’s neck than before.
The enemy commander looked impatient.
“… … I can’t do this. I’ll admit that they have a longer range, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to turn the tide… … !”
There is always a limit to the power that gunpowder can produce.
However, there was one problem.
The unit they encountered was supposedly Lee Hwan’s unit.
Taang!
“Heh heh! Damn, where the hell are you shooting?!”
No matter how much the pirates responded, it was to no avail.
They even seemed to feel like they were really surrounded because bullets were flying sporadically from all directions.
“… … It’s a ghost! You are fighting the devil!”
“You idiot!”
It was a point-of-view.
The superior left a hole in the back of the head of the pirates who ran away.
Pu ha ha ha!
“Huh!”
“This is what those who run away become! Do you understand?!”
They also knew that if the laws were broken, they could never win a war.
The commander’s efforts to maintain a strong law were applauded.
‘Oh, how is it? But that will act as a decisive patch.’
Lee Hwan’s troops were still pouring 20 rounds of bullets at the enemy at a rate of 5 to 6 rounds per minute.
As the firing continued, the enemy commander came to the conclusion that Lee Hwan’s troops were much more numerous.
“… … Damn it, that’s weird. How can bullets fly so sporadically?”
“There seems to be around 100 people! If 100 men were besieging us, we might consider annihilation.”
“Hmm.”
The commander’s aides mistakenly thought that he had five times the number of troops.
But I really thought it wasn’t.
“… … no. At least 200 people. I think that’s about it.”
“Isn’t it obvious that there were about 300 people in this unit?”
“No, I don’t think so. They must have seen something in vain.”
“Okay… … .”
Feeling agitated, Lee Hwan gently smiled.
‘Don’t admit that it’s a fair amount. But you are still far away.’
Enemies began to agitate more and more loudly.
Some even talked about retreating.
“Why don’t you go back to your main base, join the rest of the troops, and then wipe out the enemies with cannons?”
“Cleaning out the enemy with a cannon?”
The utility of cannons in ground warfare is beyond imagination.
If you can slaughter an enemy with a cannonball that is as good as rat poison to an infantryman, victory in battle can be said to be a winning prize.
If that happened, Lee Hwan would also be able to straighten up his ranks, and he would be able to plan an operation with the main unit again.
However, the enemy was too frightened to do so.
“The enemy is lurking behind you. If we make a mistake, we could be wiped out before we even get to the base.”
“iced coffee… … !”
If the two men sent before had survived, the battle might have ended with a victory for the pirates by now, and he would have been deeply aware of how painful it was to not know how many enemies there were.
Yi Hwan thought that he would soon be able to surrender the enemy.
As he thought, the enemy made a decisive mistake.
The enemy commander took out the next best option, but the choice was not very good.
“Break through to the side.
“A side?”
“There is no way to win. The only way to win is to break through the flanks.”
“If the Captain thinks so, we just follow.”
“Okay, let’s break through the enemy’s side!”
“Yes!”
“It’s late at night anyway, so the accuracy isn’t very high, so it’s better to move quickly and avoid the enemy’s fire. Without firing, I sprint to the open ground!”
“Yes, I understand!”
He strapped the rifle to his shoulder and decided to sprint through the forest.
Lee Hwan knew well what it meant for the enemy to make a flank breakthrough.
‘We won!’
The topography of this place had a wide open area to the north and a narrow path to the east.
You can also go to the open field to the east, but if you make a mistake, you will be surrounded by enemies and die.
However, the enemy commander seemed to have lost all such awareness.
Lee Hwan stood up from his seat and immediately gathered up the front line.
Then he sent a message to Ben-Heren to move the main unit to the east.
“You must not be late!”
“Yes!”
If the hands and feet match each other, it is a 100-to-one victory.
However, you have to tie the ankles to make the enemies a little more confused.
Lee Hwan changed positions without cross-fire and fired at the enemies without a break, thanks to which they were confused.
Tang Tang!
The sound of bewilderment could be heard from the enemy camp.
“Shit! He shoots a lot of shit!”
“Chief! I guess I’m on the wrong path?”
“… … not! If you go east, you can live!”
Now all the pirates began to agitate.
Lee Hwan and his troops continued to run and fire to drive the enemies away.
bang! bang! bang!
Guns don’t always have to be shot and killed to cause fear. It was the gun that felt the fear of death simply by the sound of it.
Lee Hwan was using the fear of such a gun very appropriately.
how far did it go
A narrow path stretched out in the distance.
Lee Hwan stopped on the spot.
“stop!”
“Aren’t you going to chase more?”
“No, it stops here. Perhaps our main force has arrived in front of this, and there is a high probability that the enemies will retreat this way. We will block the escape route and bind the enemy’s feet.”
It was Lee Hwan’s judgment that it would be better to block the escape route from here, rather than just following the path and receiving the enemy’s deadly resistance.
Unsurprisingly, gunshots were heard from the front.
Ride and go!
“Aaaah!”
“Shoot without stopping!”
As soon as Ben Heren, who was quick-witted, heard the news of the messenger, he immediately moved his main force to annihilate the enemy.

Meanwhile, Lee Hwan encouraged the soldiers.
“The battle is not over yet! We wait here to the end to meet the fleeing enemies!”
“Yes, I understand!”
The soldiers were still watching the front in a tense state.
After a while, the firing showed a lull.
Ben-Herren concentrated his firepower on one shot, but the fire was extinguished in less than five minutes.
As expected of Lee Hwan, the enemy was running away.
But there is only one way out on this road.
He was ambushed in the way the enemy was fleeing, and if he came into range, he would quickly sharpen his gun.
“… … Retreat!”
I heard the enemy shout.
Lee Hwan ordered the shooting.
“launch!”
Tang Tang Tang!
As the muzzle spewed fire, a roaring sound was heard from the enemy camp.
Lee Hwan continued to fire for about 2 minutes.
The besieged pirates screamed and burst into tears.
“Oh my, mother!”
“Help me!”
At that moment, Lee Hwan stopped firing.
Perhaps in the previous battle, the commander seemed to have died, and the pirates who had become mischievous were running around like crazy people everywhere.
Lee Hwan pointed his rifle forward and approached them.
“Don’t hold back! If it moves, it shoots!”
“… … Sah, please save me!”
It was as if he was holding the torch in his hand while he was running away, or maybe he forgot to throw it away because he was running away, but it was bright everywhere.
Lee Hwan secretly appeared through the flames.
Then, while the gun was dropped at the enemies, they drove the enemies into one place.
“Put your hands above your head and interlock. Then gather over there and get down on your knees.”
“Sa, live… … .”
“If you don’t move, I will kill you.”
Surprised by Lee Hwan’s low and threatening voice, the pirates gathered in one place with their hands raised above their heads in accordance with his orders.
The casualties were thought to be about 100, but most of the survivors were black. Apparently, black slaves were also forcibly mobilized here.
Lee Hwan decided to return with them.
