Daming pirates

After listening to Sun Baoqiang's words, Feng Twelve, blushing, quickly stood upright with his legs together, raised his right hand and gave Sun Bao a military salute, and shouted loudly: "Yes! Commander Sun reprimanded me very much! It's my subordinates who are stupid!"

"

Turning his head, he immediately shouted to the busy gunners on the fort: "Stop firing, stop firing for me! I heard you clearly, now let me aim at the ship in front and concentrate our firepower."

Shoot that ship first! No one is allowed to fire at will, only I can shoot that ship! Let me sink it first and then talk about other things! Do you all hear me clearly?"

Some of the gunners didn't understand. Their ears were shocked to the point of being deafened, and they stood there stupidly. Feng Twelve angrily ran around in the fort, raising his ears again like a mad dog.

ordered to inform each gunner commander of his request.

At this moment, the gunners all understood what Feng Twelve wanted them to do. They hurriedly lay down at the gun door to look for the target Feng Twelve had assigned them. Soon they all focused on the Spanish line closest to them.

on the warship.

In fact, this ship is not a warship, but an armed merchant ship of the Spanish that was temporarily recruited. The displacement of this ship is about 400 tons. It is also a Galen ship. It is equipped with 15 cannons. It is not Spanish.

Man's main warship.

But today he was assigned to the leading position by Anthony, approaching Heping Island to directly bombard the Heping Island fort.

At this moment, the Spanish sailors on the ship were busy working in full swing, shouting and yelling to load the cannons, and then made a strange noise to get out of the way and fire the cannons.

But they didn't know that at this moment, they had been locked as the only target by the gunners in the fort. The cannons in the fort were slowly moved amidst the shouts of the gunners, and the muzzles slowly moved.

He slowly pointed at the boat.

The black muzzle of the gun moved slowly, and the gunners of each gun took aim personally. The fort fell into silence for a while. Only the rumble of the cannons from the sea could be heard, as well as the roar and vibration of the shells falling on the fort.

"Fire!" When he saw that all the guns were aimed and ready to fire, Feng Twelve suddenly yelled hysterically.

"Fire the guns... fire the guns..." A series of roars from the gunners sounded in the fort one after another.

A series of earth-shaking cannon shots were heard from inside the fort. The cannons shook violently and then retreated. The fort was once again filled with smoke, causing many people to cough loudly.

Sun Baoqiang didn't care about the smoke that was choking his nose. He rubbed his eyes that were starting to turn red due to the smoke, and quickly lay down at the observation window and looked towards the sea.

The sea surface where they saw the enemy ship they selected suddenly felt like a pot was boiling. Cannonballs flew over one after another and hit the surroundings of the ship. Some of the cannonballs also accurately hit the ship directly.

Ship, the enemy ship that was hit

Pieces of splinters of wood were thrown up, and he could even vaguely see through the gunpowder smoke that a cannon on the ship jumped up after being hit, and fell over on the deck with a bang. There were many Spanish sailors on the deck.

They were like rats running around on the boat.

Sun Baoqiang became happy at this time, laughed wildly and shouted to Feng Twelve: "Okay! Just beat him like this! Beat these foreign bastards to death! Then come on, beat him to death before I cripple him!"

A series of gunshots made Feng Twelve's ears buzz. He couldn't hear the sound for a long time. He could only see Sun Baoqiang's dusty face, showing his grinning expression, but he couldn't hear him anymore.

What's it called?

However, Feng Twelve could guess what Sun Baoqiang was talking about, so he nodded and barked like a mad dog again: "Just fight! Let me sink this boat!"

The Heping Island Fort suddenly changed its tactics. The other ships felt much better, but the target ship was in serious trouble.

All the cannons on the Heping Island fort were locked firmly at this moment. The sound of cannons continued to sound, and the shells flew towards them one after another. Waves of waves kept rising around their ship, and some

The cannonball even landed not far from the side of their ship, and the water stirred up even poured directly onto the ship, making the sailors on the deck sound like drowned rats.

The captain of this ship was standing on the poop. Needless to say, he was in as bad a mood as he could be. He thought to himself why he was so unlucky to be targeted by these damn Chinese pirates and became their target.

This ship is his personal property, and this time it was conscripted by the Governor of Manila.

Although participating in such an action, if his ship is damaged or the crew is killed or injured, the governor will give him some compensation and will not let him lose a lot of money, but he does not want his ship to be disabled or damaged by others.

Sunk, because even if his ship was sunk, the Governor would not be a rogue and would compensate him according to the price, but he could only return to Spain and order a new ship.

During the period of ordering a new ship, no one would compensate him. This would delay doing business for a long time, and time is money. Nowadays, Spaniards understand this very well. A pair like him

A masted ship can earn a lot of money by running on the sea for a year, transporting goods and people back and forth. If it does well in a year, it can at least earn the profit of building a new ship, and maybe even more.

Even in the worst case, two years at sea would be enough for them to earn enough profit to build a new ship, and building a new ship would start from the time he returns to Spain by boat, to place the order, and schedule the shipment, until the end.

It would take at least more than two years to deliver the ship. During these two years, he would not be able to earn another silver coin.

Moreover, after the new ship is built, he has to recruit sailors again, which takes a long time. It is not easy to recruit sailors now. Even if he recruits sailors, they are not familiar with each other and cannot sail away immediately. They have to go for a period of time first.

It takes time to adapt to the training, not to mention that there are many scumbags among the sailors recruited now, and it is difficult to control. There are often sailors who disobey the captain's orders during the voyage, and even launch riots, kill the captain or throw away the captain's first mate.

Go to a deserted island and let it fend for itself.

So when the ship was locked by the Sea Wolf battery, the captain was panicked and depressed, and quickly ordered the ship to maneuver to avoid these shells.

But even after the ship started moving, it could not escape the fate of being attacked by concentrated firepower. Soon, the ship was hit by several shells, causing large holes in the hull, and the sailors on the ship were also hit.

Several were killed, forcing them to quickly retreat and put distance between themselves and the fort.

But as they turned around and retreated, they were stared at by a Sea Wolf musketeer on the fort.

A musketeer was holding a flintlock gun that didn't look strange. He poked the muzzle out of a perforation and carefully observed the situation on the sea through the perforation.

At this time, the Spanish ships were about 200 to 300 meters away from the fort. Under normal circumstances, only cannons could reach this distance. No one would even think of shooting at the enemy with a musket at such a distance.

Even if you fire an ordinary musket, you can hit the enemy with a bludgeon. Let alone the issue of accuracy, in terms of power, it is basically the same as hitting the enemy with a stone.

However, this Sea Wolf musketeer still held a flintlock rifle in a serious manner, lying on the perforation hole and carefully looking for his target, constantly adjusting the direction of the musket slightly through the rear sight and front sight.

Just hearing a bang, the gunman's body shook slightly. The recoil generated by the flintlock shot transmitted the power to his shoulders, causing his body to shake slightly.

After observing it carefully, he shook his head slightly in disappointment, sighed, but immediately started filling it again.

He also heard the orders of Sun Baoqiang and Feng Twelve. At this moment, he also focused his attention on the enemy ship that was attacked by concentrated firepower. He searched for targets on the ship. There were some sailors from the Ganlusi people on the ship on the deck.

He was running back and forth, not knowing what he was busy with. He was not sure that he could hit these moving targets accurately. What he was looking for was a relatively stable target as his sniper target. Finally, he stood on the poop.

A figure fell into his eyes.

He immediately began to adjust the muzzle of the gun, slowly raising the muzzle a little higher, and locked the figure of the man with the rear sight and crosshair.

He first took a deep breath to adjust his emotions, then slightly adjusted various parts of his body to put his body in a very comfortable posture, and then calmly locked the target with the flintlock gun in his hand.

Then he gently pulled the trigger until the trigger moved backwards to the point where it was about to be fired. His whole body seemed to be integrated with the gun. At this time, he was almost unconscious, and the trigger of the gun was finally pulled.

When it reached the firing state, the flintlock gun was fired again, a ball of flame spit out from the muzzle, and then a cloud of gunpowder smoke rose up, blocking his sight.

Black powder is very annoying. When it is fired, whether it is a cannon or a musket, no matter how good the quality of the gunpowder is, it will emit a cloud of smoke, but the color is different. The better the quality of the gunpowder, the lighter the color of the smoke.

On the contrary, the thicker it is, the less complete the gunpowder will be burned.

Shooters often cannot see clearly the effect of their shooting after firing or firing because of the smoke. When firing in a row, they are concentrated fire, which does not have much impact. After all, it relies on intensive shooting, and there will always be some bullets.

Can hit some targets.

But when shooting alone, this problem is very annoying. The shooter often cannot observe the shooting effect at the first time. He must wait for the smoke to clear before he can observe the shooting situation.
