"Shelling...... Evade now! ”

The shrill and hoarse roars of the officers resounded from the walls, and the Spanish soldiers on the walls took refuge in the bunkers they had prepared.

"Boom ......"

The thirty-two-pound cannonball flew over the city wall and landed in a house behind the city wall with a loud noise, which was immediately half blown down, and a scream was heard in the dust.

"It's okay...... They missed! The Spaniards on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, but they also knew that this shot was just a test fire from the other side, and the main event was still to come.

Sure enough, after a pause of a minute or two, the second shelling began again, and after adjusting the position and angle of the artillery, with a dull roar, the second shell flew out of the chamber and towards the city wall under the impetus of the strong kinetic energy of the gunpowder.

The black cannonball made a graceful arc in mid-air and fell towards the city walls.

"Missed, missed......"

There were soldiers hiding behind bunkers who kept praying to God with their hands on crosses, but unfortunately God did not bless them this time, and this time the shells did not miss.

The cannonballs in mid-air didn't seem to be flying fast, and the Spanish soldiers on the city walls could even observe their trajectory with the naked eye, but in fact, even if the cannonball could be seen with the naked eye, it flew at an astonishing speed.

Less than four seconds into the flight, the thirty-two-pound shell slammed into the battlements, which were the size of a table, and shattered into dozens of fragments of various sizes that flew in all directions.

"Ah......h

With a scream, a Spanish soldier who had not been hiding was beaten to pieces by rubble, and the sound of bones being broken was broken, and the soldier's left hand was completely broken, and at the broken point, Bai Sensen's bones were revealed.

"Ah......h

The soldier let out a howl of pain, could no longer stand, and fell to the ground and rolled around in pain.

"Oh God...... Hurry up and two people carry him down! ”

An officer shouted loudly, and quickly asked two ambulance crews composed of young men who had been on standby for a long time to carry the poor fellow down, and the whole scene became a little chaotic for a while.

However, this level of chaos is only a small scene, as the supreme commander of Field and Castro and others did not pay attention to this kind of trivial matter, their eyes have long been firmly fixed on the artillery position of the Ming army in front, because they all know very well that this cannon is not only the role of positioning, but also means that all the artillery of the Ming army will attack with the reference point of the landing point of the cannon just now.

Their guess was correct, the terrifying silence lasted only a little more than a minute, and with a sharp whistle sounded, the cannon sound that had been silent for more than a minute rang out again, this time not just a cannon as before, but like thunder.

The earth shook with a violent roar, and thick white smoke rose as cannonballs burst out of the smoke and whistled towards the city walls.

There was a loud bang, and a cannonball was fired at the hard wall, and then it bounced hard, and it bounced heavily into the bunker on the side, smashing several green bricks. Since the entire castle is made of stone and brick, there are countless splashes of rubble along with it.

"Ah......h

Several young men who were hiding there fell to the ground and wailed, bleeding profusely, clutching their bloody heads and faces in pain. At this moment, they regretted that they should not have come to the forefront to be some goddamn volunteers for the bounty of a few gold coins.

A Spanish soldier was stabbed in the lower abdomen by a piece of wood the size of an arm's arm that flew out of nowhere, and the wood pierced his body deeply, blood splattered from his body, and his head and other parts were also hit by rubble, making the whole person look like a bloody man.

The pain made his whole body numb, his body curled up on the ground and spasmed violently, and his whole body was so painful that he could only make a gurgling sound from his throat.

There was even a Spanish soldier, who saw another cannonball flying towards him in mid-air, which seemed to be slow and fast, and he just wanted to subconsciously dodge, but the shell had already hit him in the chest.

Only a "snap" was heard, and the soldier's upper body was gone, leaving only the lower body standing on the ground for a long time, and then fell to the ground with a "click".

After hitting this soldier, the bloody cannonball did not stop, and still hit the city wall with kinetic energy, bouncing and forming an irregular bounce, and actually encountered several soldiers, and in a crackling sound of fractures, several Spanish soldiers were brought to the ground.

With a loud rumbling sound, large and heavy solid cannonballs were fired at the city wall and then rampaged with huge kinetic energy.

After the first round of shelling, the originally neat city wall had many more potholes, and everywhere there were the groans and wails of wounded soldiers and young men.

"The southern wall is their key target."

Castro put down his binoculars, turned to an officer on the side, and said, "Captain Mitchell, you immediately notify all the defenders and let the transport team fill the cloth bags with dirt as cover, which can fully reduce the lethality of the shells." Also, just remove half of the defenders of the southern wall and leave the observation post! ”

"Understood!"

"Tick ...... Tick Tick Tick ......Tick

A cheerful and shrill trumpet sounded, and the Spanish defenders of the southern wall withdrew from the walls, leaving only a few observation posts in each section.

Due to the smoke of gunpowder, Qiu Disheng did not see what was happening on the southern city wall, and he still urged the gunners to fire at the city wall.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom ......"

In the smoke of gunpowder, one after another shells flew out of the chambers and rushed towards the city wall, and these shells either hit the city wall or flew over the wall and hit the houses behind.

On the artillery position, a stout gunner was either sweating and carrying shells, or busy measuring or fine-tuning the artillery, and they were busy until they had finished nine volleys.

After the original thunderous cannon sound stopped, the whole land immediately became silent, only bursts of white gunpowder smoke still filled the air, and only after the gunpowder smoke cleared, Qiu Disheng raised the telescope to observe the results of the shelling.

However, after this observation, his brow furrowed deeply, and he could clearly see from the telescope that the casualties of the defenders were not large, except for some damage to the city wall, and now that the shelling had stopped, some people began to get busy on the city wall.

"His grandmother's, these red-haired devils are really cunning, they actually started to build cloth bags on the city wall!"
