Daming pirates

Chapter 115 Dilemma

When the Spanish soldiers heard the sound, they quickly turned around and their morale suddenly dropped to the bottom of their pants, because they saw that half of their commander's head had been blown off, and his brains had collapsed all the way out.

Then he fell to the ground, too dead to die.

"Haha! I finally caught this bastard! I just stared at him for a long time and couldn't find a chance. Now I can kill him!" The sniper withdrew the Wolf Fang rifle from the perforation and said proudly.

Several musketeers around him said.

It turned out that the sniper had been staring at the Spanish infantry commander. He killed three ordinary soldiers, but never took the opportunity to knock this guy down.

This time he took the initiative to jump out and grabbed a command knife. It was immediately obvious that he was the leader, so he was immediately targeted by the sniper. After targeting for a while, he waited for him to assemble the team and was about to launch an attack.

When he was about to hit the target, he drew fire, but with one shot, he opened the head of this guy who was dozens of meters away.

"I'll give you a credit, you did a great job! Just do it like this, whoever dares to show up and kill them, see how brave they are, and how dare they come up to attack our fort, let them come, come as many as they come, come as many as they come

How many of them were killed? ***, I wonder what the meat of these foreign devils tastes like..." Feng Twelve happened to be passing by, patted the sniper on the shoulder hard, and said proudly.

After hearing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. How could Feng Twelve think of this problem? They usually don't lack meat! This guy is actually curious about what human flesh tastes like. It seems that this guy is different from those people.

I have had too much contact with the native auxiliary soldiers, so it is best to stay away from him in the future.

Many people subconsciously avoided Feng Twelve and deeply despised this barbarian in their hearts.

The little courage the Spaniards had just mustered up disappeared immediately after their commander was headshot on the spot, and they all rushed behind the rocks with a huff. Now that they had no commander, they could no longer organize themselves.

There was no effective attack. All they could do was lean against the rocks in fear and pray to their God in their hearts.

Through the telescope, Anthony saw that the efforts of these infantrymen were ultimately in vain, and his heart sank completely to the deepest part of the trench, becoming extremely cold.

He knew that his plan to send troops to attack the fort failed completely today, but the price of failure was too high. Nearly two hundred infantrymen and sailors were left on the island where the fort was located. Now they can't even escape.

All the ships were gone, and the only two remaining ships, under the desperate shaking of the sailors, had abandoned the people on the island and fled back to the sea. At this time, in addition to letting the big ships of the fleet dock, he probably

Only in this way can he bring these soldiers back. Apart from this, he has no other better way.

However, it is too dangerous to move the ship closer to them. This is equivalent to letting others put a cannon on their heads and fire. If they move closer, not only will these soldiers not be rescued, but they will be killed by them.

If they sink a few large ships, then they will be completely miserable this time.

If he paid such a loss, it is estimated that even if he returns to Manila, he will be immediately arrested by the Governor, and then dragged out and hanged. He simply cannot bear the price of sinking several large ships.

So he was in a dilemma, don't save him! There are still more than a hundred soldiers! If he gives up and doesn't save them, the remaining infantry will probably riot on the spot and fire directly at him!

But when he wanted to save him, he was afraid of paying a higher price, which made him feel embarrassed and wanted to cry, but he couldn't find a solution.

At this time, the infantry officer on his boat rushed to him and begged him loudly: "Your Excellency, Commander, the plan to send infantry to attack the fort has completely failed. The soldiers are simply unable to capture the fort. Now please

You send a ship immediately to bring them back! If it's too late, I'm afraid they will all be killed on the island by these barbaric Chinese pirates!"

Anthony's mouth was as bitter as if he had eaten coptis, and he didn't know whether to say that the horse was healed. At this point, he could only take a risk, so he comforted the infantry officer and sent an order to the fleet.

A ship approaches Heping Island, trying to get as close as possible to Heping Island, and also carries a few small boats in the fleet, but it is no longer the small boats on the ship, but a relatively large tonnage sloop, trying to rescue those trapped in the

Soldiers on the island.

As for the other ships, they used all their firepower to violently bombard the Heping Island fort. Even if they couldn't destroy the fort, they would at least block their sight and try to allow these soldiers to retreat to the ship and escape to heaven.

The sound of artillery on the sea became more intensive, and the large ships kept spitting flames towards the fort, smashing the cannonballs one after another at the fort. Clouds of dust and smoke rose up on the island, and the fort continued to explode during the shelling.

It was shaking violently, and finally another corner suddenly collapsed under the fierce bombardment of the enemy.

When we went down, another artillery window accidentally got a cannonball into it, directly knocking out a twenty-four-pound cannon in the gun window, injuring many soldiers and villagers in the fort, and it was dangerous.

Some also detonated a box of gunpowder bags that had just been brought to the fort, shocking everyone into a cold sweat.

Sun Baoqiang was also shocked and dizzy. His head and face were covered with dust. A piece of gravel even scratched his face. A lot of blood flowed out, making his face stained and extremely embarrassed.

"Inspect the damage, and send the wounded and dead brothers down first! The rest of the people return to their fighting positions! ***, if we don't beat the crap out of these bastards today, my surname will not be Sun!" Sun Baoqiang was furious.

shouted loudly, the country warriors will now

The children were very scared, fearing that the fort would not be able to withstand the fierce bombardment of the red-haired men outside. If it was completely destroyed, then they would all be buried alive here. Some village warriors wanted to take the opportunity to escape below, but

He was immediately blocked by soldiers and came back.

One of the Xiangyong was probably frightened and shouted to get down. However, Feng Twelve went up to him and without saying a word, he cut him down with a knife and fell to the ground in convulsions. After a while, he stretched out his legs and died.

.

This completely suppressed the village heroes, and no one dared to escape to the lower level anymore.

"Everyone, stay still. Except for those who carry the bodies of the wounded and fallen brothers, if anyone dares to shake the morale of the army again, this person will suffer the end of you! Go back and push the cannon! Let me continue to fight!"

Come on, some of you go and clean up over there, and some more people go and push the cannon away first, and don't block the passage!..."

The ship that was ordered to approach Heping Island and try to pick up the Spanish soldiers trapped on the island, after being hit by more than a dozen cannonballs, with infinite fear, turned around and fled Heping Island again.

The more than one hundred Spanish soldiers on the island were jumping to their feet and shouting anxiously, some crying and some cursing, but they could not change this fact.

The Chinese pirates blocked their way out of Heping Island, and fired at any ship that tried to approach Heping Island without exception. A sloop finally got close to the shore, but at

Under the fierce bombardment of Sea Wolf's heavy artillery, the

It disintegrated on the shore, and more than twenty sailors on the ship also fell into the sea water. Several people swam desperately to other ships and escaped from Heping Island. A few others had no hope of seeking help and had no choice but to swim to the island.

and became a trapped beast trapped on the island.

Looking at the big ship that was riddled with holes, Anthony gave up completely. These Spanish soldiers trapped on the island were completely hopeless. At least today, he had no way to evacuate them from the island.

Well, the firepower of this group of Chinese pirates is too strong. If they continue to try, not only will they not be able to be rescued, but their fleet will also have to get in.

So Anthony had to order to withdraw his troops again, withdraw from the battle, and return to the anchorage to rest for a while. At this time, he already knew that the captain of the other armed merchant ship was shot to death with a musket. It was not they who disobeyed the order and retreated, but their captain.

has died, causing the ship to temporarily lose effective command.

As a result of today's fierce battle, they were hit by another shell from the Sea Wolf, and each ship suffered greater damage. The additional 200 infantrymen sent were all lost and trapped on the enemy's island.

Anthony only felt a splitting headache. He didn't know why he had to take on this mission. He originally thought that they could easily occupy a foothold in northern Taiwan this time, but he didn't expect that this trip to Taiwan would...

To actually encounter such trouble.

After two days of fierce fighting, he was unable to step into Jilong Bay, and he was not even able to destroy even one of the enemy's forts. Instead, he lost his troops and his generals. All the ships were hit by cannons and damaged, and two of them were badly beaten. It is estimated that

After returning this time, it will definitely need to be overhauled in Manila before it can continue to be used.

The price they paid to get here this time has far exceeded their original plan. No matter whether they go back now or not, Anthony feels that he can't explain it.

Now he has fallen into a dilemma. The quality of the equipment of this group of Chinese pirates is almost comparable to theirs. Except that their ships are temporarily unable to compete with their Western-style sailing ships, in terms of artillery and muskets,

On the other hand, the quality of the equipment of this group of Chinese pirates is quite good, and the level of training is also very high. This has been recognized by him and his men from the two days of fighting with them.

What he has to consider now is what to do next. The soldiers they sent to the Fort Island (their name for Peace Island) today are still trapped on the Fort Island, under enemy fire during the day.

They had little chance of getting them back, as they had already experienced.

So he had to find a way to rescue these people, otherwise if he left so many soldiers alone, this would be enough for him to be sent to the gallows.

(The condition has finally improved! If you have another day of fluid infusion today, you won’t need to inject fluids tomorrow! It feels really good not to have a fever! Haha!)
