The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas
Chapter 2287: Routine siege
The latest website: "The fleet of heretics is gathering in the open sea, and they are coming to us!" On the east side of Valletta's city wall facing the sea, the knight de Hazard reported to the chief Nicholas II Cortona.
"Order the cannons to prepare, hit them hard!" Nicholas II Cortona said: "Only cannons, not small cannons!"
Soon, when the South China Fleet approached the city of Valletta, they knew what the white-skinned cannon was.
The sound of the cannon is loud and powerful. When a heavy round hits the battleship, it can even make the entire ship tremble!
"The **** armor man of his X!" Cheng Yu, who was sitting on the battleship drinking tea with Erlang's legs crossed, jumped up and scolded as soon as he heard the sound of the cannon.
It is obvious that the armored man used at least 50-pound or even 100-pound heavy artillery, surpassing the 32-pounder gun of the battleship.
Since the start of the war, I have often encountered such oversized heavy artillery!
It's all caused by "Thor's Hammer"!
Relying on its national strength, the South China Empire made a lot of super cannons that can fire up to 1,400 pounds of shells, and placed them in critical positions. Any battleship just needs to hit a shell and hang it!
Although Baipi is not as good as that, but they are equipped with heavy artillery over 50 pounds, and there is no pressure on them.
They were also equipped in a similar way, which severely hit the Chinese battleships.
The power of the heavy artillery is indeed powerful. On the wall, the white skins are nervously loading the heavy artillery with ammunition. One gunner delivered the artillery shells to the gun position, and the other gunner had already stuffed the gunpowder bag into the barrel--- Now it is loaded with pack powder instead of bulk gunpowder, which can speed up the loading speed.
The gunner skillfully loaded the cannonball into the barrel, and after a short check, someone shouted: "The cannon is in place!"
"Impact point 320, 15 degrees to the left, check it!" The gunner's report came from the gun position. When it was finished, the main gunner ignited.
Hearing a "boom", I felt a strong shock wave, and almost knocked all the nearby gunners down. The thick smoke was wrapped in dust and the heat wave rushed towards their faces, making their bodies a "tiger shake". .
The gunner was very accurate, he was hitting the battleship's bulwark, not a hole, but a large bulwark collapsed!
After being hit for a while, you can see someone out there, and you can see the artillery on the gun deck, which shows the power of this cannonball!
The white skins laughed happily, but unfortunately there were too few such heavy artillery. The Knights of Malta had a small amount of money and only equipped 12 doors.
Due to the backward smelting technology, the heavy artillery is made of copper, and copper is money, and the money is not compromised. Needless to say, the manpower, financial resources and resources used to cast the heavy artillery can be imagined.
It was not the knights who fired the guns, but the hired Italian gunners, Spanish, Austrian, and French gunners. Their skills were still good, and they were almost perfect!
Baipi cannon is technical, and ballistics is the first they advocated. Before the rise of the South China Empire, Baipi's artillery skill was the highest in the world. Later, it was learned by the South China soldiers. The blue was better than the blue. In turn, the white was beaten vigorously. Pi, with the heavy artillery weapon in his hand, completed an epic counterattack.
The white-skinned heavy artillery is now sharp, but unfortunately the number is too small, and the ancient artillery had to rely on God’s blessing to hit the key, but now it is obvious that God is not on guard, so even if it hits the battleship of the South China Fleet, it’s not near the waterline. The crux of the battle, the battleship is still alive and kicking.
Under the command of the officers, the sailors bombarded the city of Valletta in the form of platoons of artillery. Due to the density of artillery shells, they hit the wall everywhere in dust and smoke.
However, the Knights of Malta suffered little loss, the walls were strong, and the guards were well protected.
The South China Fleet has to withstand the danger of the enemy's heavy artillery, but it still has to fight. It is most forbidden to fight a boring battle in a battle. Even if someone is killed in the battle, it must be hit.
"The enemy's wall is so strong, there is only one way!" Lieutenant General Chen Qiao said.
"Mountain of dirt!" the subordinates said knowingly.
So I started mounding the mountain. I saw that the top of the enemy's city wall was only seven meters high, so I just piled the mound to the side of the city wall to form a mountain for the soldiers to climb.
The first is to fill up the moat, and use slaves--as long as possible, use others to fill the gully to reduce the loss of one's own family.
Those white skins who were taken prisoner by the South China Army wore steel helmets on their heads and leather armor.
The protective gear on them was given to them by the South China Army. This is the benevolent government of the South China Empire. Very few countries or forces care for these insignificant people. The key is that the South China Empire is rich!
Someone once said that the empire was the benevolence of Song Xianggong, or crocodile tears. However, the empire's Marshal David said that it is good to uphold the South China Empire's past national policy of cherishing manpower, even if slaves can be preserved and let them live longer!
His words are what the emperor meant. Later historians believed that although the founding emperor of the Nanhua Empire was "Emperor Wu", he could also be called "Renzong".
Not only did they protect the white leather slaves, the South China Army also gave them cover and suppressed the white leather on the walls.
Musket sniper!
Cannon bombardment!
Flying thunder cannons, human throws, and catapults!
And bows and arrows!
The South China Army's fire was exhausted, and the walls of the city were hit by continuous explosions, and clouds of smoke rose for a long time.
The bombs exploded more and more, and the thick smoke even enveloped this majestic city, making it seem to be shadowed in the smog, as if it were unreal, disappearing into the huge void, showing the fierce firepower of the South China Army.
"Boom boom boom!" The Thor's Hammer took off and hit the city wall hard, making the city wall seem to jump up. The moat water was splashed out, and the white-skinned slave near the impact point was shaken. Some people even fell to the ground.
The white skin defending the city took an unyielding attitude. Even if the UU reading www.uukanshu.com was aimed at filling gully, they used rifled guns to sniper far away, and they also used cannons!
The Knights of Malta also used muskets extensively. They are no longer stuck with cold weapons such as swords. Their muskets are shot very accurately, and their sharp bullets can pierce armor. After all, the South China Army is generous enough to equip white-skinned slaves with leather armor. .
They also used cannons to deal with the people in the city. The shells smashed people into pieces and hit the ground. The wet soil and wet ground fell with blood.
White-skinned slaves continued to fall in a pool of blood, and batches of slaves came forward and died by the moat. They were thrown into the river mercilessly by latecomers to fill the gully!
In some places, the soil is very shallow, the head is exposed, the arms are stretched, and there is still a puddle of blood, but everyone is numb, turning a blind eye.
After paying a lot of blood, the moat of Valletta was completely filled, and then the South China Army began bombarding Luyan below the city.
Seeing the explosions constantly sounding and mushroom clouds rising, the defenders of the city were dumbfounded: "This enemy is too rich!"
