Daming pirates

The other accompanying Spanish warships, after seeing Anthony's flagship begin to fire, immediately began to fire at the Sea Wolf's fort at the captain's orders.

The entire Spanish fleet carried a total of more than 150 artillery pieces of various types, among which the number of more powerful artillery pieces exceeded 100. After arranging them in a row, they could aim at the target with the broadside and fire a single salvo.

More than sixty rounds of various types of artillery shells were fired.

It was like rain, hitting several of Sea Wolf's forts heavily. Some Spanish sailors ran to the deck to watch the bombardment because they were not required to do anything for the time being.

In their eyes, they have so many cannons, and attacking the lair of Chinese pirates is not a big deal at all. They only need to beat these dirty Chinese pirates, and they will naturally know how powerful they are.

.

Not many Spaniards took these Sea Wolf tribesmen seriously, and few realized that they might encounter a strong counterattack.

At this time, there was a detachment and more than a hundred local warriors from Keelung Fort stationed in the Heping Island fort. The detachment leader was named Feng Twelve. He was less than thirty years old and was the earliest member of the Sea Wolf War Barracks.

A group of members are also the first group of leaders to be promoted from ordinary soldiers. They have a relatively calm personality, but are quite ruthless.

Feng Twelve was not satisfied with his current status. Since they were transferred to Jilong Bay, they had missed several opportunities to make meritorious deeds. They could neither catch up with the battle with Chu Cai Lao nor catch up with the enemy on land.

attack.

In his opinion, if it weren't for the fact that they were transferred here to garrison, based on his ability, he should be at least a squadron leader at this time. But here in Jilong Bay, they basically have not encountered any enemies and can only usually

Look for trouble with the local natives, occasionally go a little further for hunting, or pick up some small groups of pirates or Japanese pirates who have wandered around Jilong Bay.

This will affect his promotion. You must know that every time Sea Wolf is promoted to a higher level, his salary will be improved a lot. A squadron leader will get a lot more salary than a squad leader after one month. In addition, when he reaches a squad leader, he will get a lot more salary.

After level one, still

A maidservant will be assigned to them. She can be a wife, a concubine, or a maidservant. What's more important is that she has entered the middle-level boss sequence of the Sea Wolf, and has quite a lot of power among the Seawolves.

high status.

He has always been dissatisfied with this. He wanted to be transferred back to Nanyue Island several times, but he was rejected. He was told to stay in Jilong Bay and take care of his subordinates, especially the people here.

Practice your fucking skills.

Both Meng Guilian and Li Dazui had come to Jilongwan to inspect the men stationed here. They paid special attention to Feng Twelve, saying that he must take good care of the cannon, but he was not allowed to leave here.

Feng Twelve was so upset about this that he could only vent it out on his guys. He was so full that he couldn't vent his energy all day long, so he took his soldiers to train every day, especially on the fort.

of artillery.

The last time Yu Xiaotian came here, he personally checked the effectiveness of their training and went to the fort to check the maintenance of the fort's weapons. He also specially praised Feng Twelve, which made Feng Twelve feel proud.

for a while.

When the Spaniards came this time, Feng Twelve realized that his opportunity for meritorious service and promotion had finally come, and the enemies they had to face this time were not their peers like them, nor were they officers and soldiers similar to beggars.

It is a fleet of Ganrasi people with real leverage, and is by no means an ordinary opponent.

These Ganrasi people want them to give up Jilongwan. Obviously this is impossible. Even if Heitou agrees, he will not agree. They have stayed here for more than two years and how much sweat they have put in.

It is simply impossible to give this place to others.

Therefore, this matter must be resolved by force in the end, and these damn Ganrasi people blocked the entrance of their bay two days ago, and even sank one of their warships that went out. This has shown that there is no negotiation between the two parties.

There is no room left, and there will definitely be a big fight next.

And Feng Twelve looked down upon the navy stationed here. Usually, these guys looked very arrogant, but at most they could only go fishing nearby, drive away and hunt down some small pirate ships, how majestic they were!

Now when facing the fleet of these Ganrasi people, these navy guys suddenly withered. When they went out to meet them, they sank one of their boats and blocked them in Jilong Bay.

middle.

But at this time, before their boss Yu Xiaotian arrives here with reinforcements, they can no longer count on these navy guys, but they still have to look to their group of soldiers.

So in the past two days, Feng Twelve was in the fort, strictly ordering his men to prepare for battle, and polishing the artillery, just waiting for these dry silk people to come and invade.

Early this morning, he used his telescope to observe the ships of the Ganlusi people approaching the bay, and adjusted their formation, aiming the ship's side at their fort. After a while, he saw them opening the ship's gun door. Feng

At the eleventh order, the soldiers and country warriors stationed in the fort rushed to their fighting positions.

The round cannonballs were lifted to the upper gun position. Someone was guarding the opening of the ammunition lift, lifting the powder packs from the lower ammunition magazine to the gun position, and was ready to continue to provide powder packs for each cannon at any time.

.

According to their combat regulations, the Sea Wolf would not do what their counterparts did, foolishly putting the gunpowder barrels next to the cannons during the war. Doing so would be almost like seeking death. Even if they were not hit by the enemy and exploded, they would still be killed.

In the chaos, he detonated the gunpowder himself.

Therefore, whether on the ship or on the fort, Seawolf requires that only artillery shells be placed at the artillery position during wartime. This thing will not explode, but the packaged fixed charge package must be left with strong ammunition at the bottom.

In the warehouse, the artillery can be loaded into the gun emplacement at any time to avoid accidental explosions.

The cannons on the fort were all loaded by the gunners at this time. Under the orders of the gunners, the Xiang Yong who cooperated with them shouted slogans and pushed the gun frame to the gun door with all his strength, and the muzzle pointed at the sea.

The gunners stepped forward and started firing their guns to take aim.

According to Black Head's orders, Sea Wolf's forts were not allowed to open fire without authorization. The enemy ships must be brought within the effective range, as close as possible before firing, and the Spaniards should be allowed to fire first and then counterattack.

This was not done for the sake of not firing the first shot or standing on the moral high ground, but because the black head did not want the Spaniards to see the firepower of their forts before the war started, and wanted to be as safe as possible in the initial artillery battle.

, causing more casualties to the Spaniards.

So Feng Twelve could only helplessly lead his men in the strong fort, watching the Spanish set up a battle formation on the sea, and prepared for the bombardment.

When the first ball of fire rose up on the Spanish warship, Feng Twelve was so nervous and excited that he almost changed the tone of his roar. He roared at the top of his voice in the fort: "Aim and hit me!"

Before he finished speaking, the first batch of Spanish cannonballs had already flown over their heads and landed on and around the fort.

Some of the soldiers and warriors stationed in the forts had never encountered such a violent artillery attack. Especially those warriors who were temporarily organized. When had they ever seen such a formation? Everyone's face was frightened.

Pale, even trembling, some people were so frightened that their legs weakened. When they felt a cannonball hit the fort, causing the fort to shake for a while, they fell to the ground on the spot, crying for their fathers and mothers in fright.

"Shut the hell up! If anyone keeps crying for father and mother, they are confusing the morale of the army. Be careful, I will cut off his head! Don't worry, this fort is strong! Their shells can't destroy it at all.

Don't destroy our fort!" Seeing that some of his men and these local warriors were so frightened that they wanted to wet their pants, Feng Twelve jumped up and cursed angrily.

The Spanish's first round of shelling was mainly concentrated on the forts on Heping Island, but their hit accuracy was not very high. Even if their gunners were well trained, in this era they wanted to hit the first shot.

It is not possible to destroy the target in one round.

Dozens of cannonballs landed on Heping Island, and only a handful of cannonballs hit the fort. The rest of the cannonballs were scattered all over the island, and some even landed ridiculously far away in the sea.

, naturally some shells will fly over the fort and fall into the bay.

Even if a very small number of cannonballs hit the fort, it would only cause the fort to shake a few times, and some dust would fall on the top of the head. This fort is built with large stones, and the fort is very strong.

, it is impossible to penetrate or destroy the walls of the fort. The most that the shells will do on the walls of the fort is to fly some gravel, and the shells will not know where they will fly.

After the shaking ended, everyone in the fort checked their situation. The inside of the fort was intact, no one was injured, and there were no signs of cracks on the walls and roof of the fort. So they all felt relieved and realized

As long as they stayed in the fort, they would be safer, so the village warriors became completely quiet.

As for the soldiers, they were usually trained by being fucked every day. Although they were nervous at first, they were used to hearing the sound of cannons, so they quickly calmed down and started their counterattack.

I saw a twenty-four-pounder gun suddenly vibrating violently and retreating backwards. It did not stop until it was dragged by the thick cable pulling it. The inside of the fort was suddenly filled with a pungent smell of gunpowder smoke.

The huge sound of cannons made many people in the fort have their ears buzzing, and they felt a little dizzy for a long time.
