Chapter 45: Heavy Strikes

Fort San Petro in Cebu is not a standard Star Fortress, perhaps a legacy of history, as Regas has too few resources at his disposal when he first landed on Cebu Island, but it also makes some use of the Star Fortress defenses in the opposite direction of the port.

At the beginning of the construction of this fort, it was not the sea that needed to be guarded against, but the land enemy in the other three directions, the native of Cebu.

The sea is the direction of their own people, and half a year ago, who would have thought that someone could beat them on this sea? Nobody, not the Arvais of the Spaniards, but indeed no one could defeat them at sea.

The fire on the coast of Cebu reflected Regasby's face, and his last remaining ship anchored in the harbor, and the sudden arrival of pirates rampaged through several lucky ships, throwing weapons they had never seen before, turning the shore into a sea of fire.

The pirates under Lin Feng's command did not have any novel weapons, fire bricks, rockets, and oil canisters, and he could find all the Ming Dynasty sailor firearms before Chen Mu's improvement.

They have never been sailing fleets, and the Ming Dynasty sailors are an unpopular coastal patrol team, and it is the ability of these people to burn everything they see.

Of course, the process of burning the ship was also mixed with small shark boats, which were bombarded with the low castle muzzles with the few guns on the ship. It's just limited to the pirate's artillery skills, and its own number and caliber are weaker than the opponent's artillery, and the hit rate is pitifully low, just strong and strong.

But on land, Lin Feng and Zhuang Gong achieved extraordinary results.

The Spaniards did not have many defenders in the port, and they had the disadvantage of lax garrison, and the first thing they discovered was not Lin Feng who rushed into the port settlement, but a few lucky ships attacked by the sea. As soon as he relied on the shore artillery to bombard, the sound of killing came from behind him.

A dozen Spanish warriors rushed out of the harbor with spears, muskets, swords and shields, and the pirates in the loose formation were shot and routed with firearms, leaving behind seven or eight soldiers who had fallen to the ground after being shot, while the others returned fire and fought and retreated.

One hundred and ten people is one hundred and ten guns, although no one can be sure of the black light, but one hundred and ten guns are put in the face between a few breaths, and no one still has the courage to stand or even face the difficulties.

Lin Feng has too many firearms, this is not something that courage can solve!

Fort San Petro was a few hundred meters away from the fire of musket artillery, and it was impossible for the musket to hit, but the artillery could.

Lin Feng's subordinates also had a formation at the beginning, although they were not more familiar with the battle formation than the officers and soldiers, but they also knew the impact of the battle formation on morale after a long time of war, until the cannonball smashed on the Tianling cover.

The pirates swooped down the coastline toward the harbor with open flames, and the shells flew over the indiscriminate coconut palms and palms and landed on the edge of the pirate formation, knocking over several pirates along the way.

Fortunately, the shells did not jump up and cause more casualties, and even then the pirate battle array was forced to disperse into squads of more than ten or even dozens of people, looting around the stilted houses in the woods, and killing the defenders who rushed out of nowhere.

Lin Feng's attack was not hindered by the artillery sent out by the castle, on the contrary, he had already expected the casualties that the artillery could cause, which would make him happy, because he found that the artillery would only kill them.

The artillery here is not as strong as the firepower of the port in the northeast bay, and the shore artillery is not densely arranged, only a few rounds of artillery on the top, they can kill all the Xiyi outside the castle, and when the time comes, it is up to him to decide whether to leave or stay.

As Lin Feng rushed deeper and deeper into the port, the port garrison became less and less, listening to the roar of artillery in the northeast, it was obvious that Zhuang Gong's subordinates were more seriously bombarded than him, just when he was about to give the order to abandon the port and rush to help Zhuang Gong, the iron gate of the castle in the east of the north suddenly opened, and hundreds of Spanish soldiers ran out in formation, stabbing diagonally towards him.

One or two hundred paces apart, the Spanish formation sergeants rushed through the stone bridge over the river, among which dozens of gunners wearing feathers and high helmets without armor carried Mushqat heavy arquebuses and stood on the side of the bridge facing Lin Fengbu.

The arquebus carried a small iron bracket and a shoulder-high wooden stand held on the ground to support the heavy musket.

The weapons in their hands were the behemoths of the field battle from the city defense weapons, this kind of musket was first used in the city defense, because the gun was one meter four long, the barrel was eight-edged, the caliber was twice that of the bird's gun, the weight of the bullet was three times, the whole gun weighed 11 kilograms, and had a terrible range of more than 250 meters.

It is the prototype of Chen Mu's imitation of the heavy bird gun in the Northern Xuanfu Ordnance Bureau.

"Charge, recharge!"

The captain of the Spanish company gave a loud order, and his men with light musketeers and spearmen had formed a phalanx at the bridgehead to prepare for the onslaught of Ming pirates.

The gunner on the bridge bit open the ammunition pot hanging on his body, poured a pot of gunpowder and poured another pot, which compacted the gunpowder and stuffed the lead bullet into the barrel, even if he was hunched and held the handle with both hands, he would still not be able to aim accurately because of the heaviness.

Forty-five years ago, at the Battle of Pavia, Italy, this thing often killed several people or horses with a single shot. But the disadvantage is also very obvious, no one can carry these monsters for hundreds of yards to deal with the intensity required for war.

"Launch!"

Knock, knock!

Completely different from the crisp sound of a bird gun or a bird gun, after a double charge, there are one or two gunpowder, and three eyes and three eyes to hold so much, so that the sound of this thing salvo is similar to that of artillery.

A platoon of heavy muskets hit the bridge with a lot of momentum, allowing Lin Feng, who was directing the pirates to fire a volley at the enemy formation, to fall on the spot.

Most of the pirates reacted similarly to Lin Feng, many of them didn't even want guns, and some turned around and ran. Not everyone can see the weapons on the other side like Lin Feng, and many pirates think that the Spaniards in the castle pushed the gun carriage onto the bridge.

Thirty or forty heavy muskets, even if the accuracy is very low, the damage is still terrible, the lead bullet is missing armor, no, it doesn't matter whether there is armor or not for this kind of weapon, the strong kinetic energy after entering the human body will not even make the lead bullet roll, just turn and protrude from the other direction, and then hit the next person.

Lin Fenggang wanted to let the fools in the phalanx at the head of the bridge know how powerful he was, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of subordinates were knocked over by a salvo, and the pirates who were lucky enough not to be hit were touching their limbs to check whether they were still there, and saw the spears in the phalanx walking high towards this side, and there were more than a dozen musketeers in each corner of the two corners pumping the whole strip of ammunition while walking.

It's impossible to force your subordinates to form a formation, so it's a fart!

"Everyone retreats to the port and guards them in the port, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that they can shoot to the port!"

When the smoke cleared, the Spanish captain who commanded the heavy musketeers on the bridge was stunned when he watched the pirates flee into the darkness.

The invincible Spanish phalanx in the world hasn't been on yet, and one of them has run away?

"Captain, they're heading for the harbor!"

The Spanish captain didn't have time to laugh, his face turned green when he heard this, he glanced at the city, and with great dexterity he picked up his heavy musket and shouted: "Pursuit!" Can't let them get their hands on our artillery, quick! ”
