Chapter 47: Movement

The two huge stone cannons didn't have much power, even if this thing was already a hundred-pound cannon according to the caliber, the stone bullets only shot a few hundred meters away, and it wasted all the effort that Li Mao spent nearly a cup of tea time pushing the cannons.

The two pirates who were in the direction of the artillery's butt at the time of firing were directly beaten by the gun's backseat to the point that their internal organs were ruptured and bleeding, and the other was crushed to break the bones of their feet, and then the two guns were held back by the backseat for more than twenty steps.

A lot of gunpowder has been spent here.

Although the two large stone projectiles did not have a long range, they clearly achieved the purpose of the pirates.

Lin Feng had never played bowling, but the picture in front of him was like this, the Spanish phalanx soldiers rushed into the gap with spears and muskets high, and were about to start a massacre against the pirates, two large stone projectiles flew over, one of the huge stone bullets was too high, and it perfectly dodged the entire army formation from above and didn't know where it was hit.

The other was in the middle of the Spanish phalanx, like a scythe cutting wheat, and the warriors who were hit by stone bullets did not care whether they wore armor or not, they were directly run over by the head, and they were castrated through the large array from beginning to end.

The situation of the two columns of soldiers on both sides of them was not much better, even if they were not directly hit, they would be shattered wherever they were next to each other, and the entire military formation was rushed to pieces, not to mention the Spanish commander, even Lin Feng did not react to such a change.

The roar of two stone-shooting cannons loaded with huge amounts of gunpowder at the same time shook Li Mao and the pirates around him stupidly, all of them were top-heavy, and everyone seemed to have encephalopathy, spreading their hands and stumbling in the smoke of gunpowder, stumbling in search of directions.

Lin Afeng reacted from a brief moment of consternation, lifted his short axe and leaped over, the pirates behind him swarmed up, and the pirates on the right shooting platform kept shooting with birds, and the lead pellets fell into the enemy formation like rain, making this small Spanish phalanx that had suffered heavy losses unable to continue.

From the moment they were bombarded by stone guns at close range, it didn't matter what kind of order their captain gave them, the soldiers who picked up their weapons and fought to the death were not because of the captain's military orders, and the soldiers who dropped their weapons and hugged their heads were not because of the captain's military orders.

It's just the nature of human beings and the difference between them and pirates.

On the castle, Regasby's heart has been tugged at when he heard the cannon sound in the harbor, these cannons were used to prepare for the Red Sea in the Biological Navy, there are five of them, three of which have been transported to the port of the Northeast Gulf, leaving two to guard against the enemy's attack on Cebu, but in the end they have relented.

The range of this stone cannon, which is not very close, but because the double diameter is much shorter, the hit rate is very bad, and it is only possible to hit at close range, and it is too heavy to be of any use in the field, but it is obviously very advantageous when attacking a behemoth like the Chihai - as long as it is close to the port, one or two hits can sink a large ship.

In the past, this kind of stupid black artillery was rampant in the 14th century, and the field artillery with rudimentary four-wheeled artillery wagons made a great contribution to Charles the Brave, but it was only a flash in the pan, and most of the time the straight line of the stone guns was quickly replaced by new, more mobile artillery.

And now, the stone cannon is the best way to deal with the castle iron gate!

All his hopes were that the soldiers sent to the castle would be able to annihilate the enemy army trapped in the harbor before the enemy army from the east could rush to his aid, otherwise he would have to prepare for street fighting in the castle.

If Regasby knew that Lin Afeng's original plan was to plunder the outside of the city, and he had no intention of plundering the port at all, and that he had only obtained the stone cannon by the phalanx soldiers he sent into the port, I am afraid that an old bone would be angry to death in the city immediately.

When Lin Feng removed the short axe from the neck of the last heavily armed Spanish elite sword and shield hand, the unlucky ghost had been crushed to death by the pirates who had been rushing up for a while.

Lin Feng, who was panting, sat on the ground, his hairscarf had long been lost in the fight, and he looked at Li Mao who was clustered around the two stone cannons behind him, and he nodded slowly.

Before they could rest for a moment, there was a noisy march in the distance, which made the noisy pirates stand up from the pool of blood with their weapons one after another, and support each other in front of them, but many people stood up but found that they had already lost their strength, their legs were weak, and their hands holding weapons were shaking.

They don't have the strength to engage in a new fight.

"It's Zhuang Gong, Zhuang Gong is here!"

The guns on the shooting platform of the house cheered, and the tight strings in the hearts of many pirates suddenly broke, and each of them sat down on the ground, and some even lay directly in the muddy earth, unwilling to exert any more strength.

Some pirates who still had physical strength were already busy unarming the Spanish soldiers in the corpses and putting them on their bodies, and Lin Feng's pirates were knowledgeable.

With the exception of the fleeing heavyweights, who were unarmoured, most of these phalanx soldiers wore cuirasses and high-topped iron helmets, especially heavily armed sword and shield bearers, whose swords pierced through chain mail and the plate armor that connected the lower half of their bodies gave them ample protection.

Skill aside, this is the reason why they inflicted heavy casualties on the pirates even after being swept away by stone bullets.

"Lin Lao, Xiyi's armor, some people also have a layer of armor skin added to it."

A pirate took the inner breastplate of the Spanish sword and shield handplate and presented it to Lin Feng, Lin Feng took it and looked at it twice and went back, ready to tell him the news when he saw Chen Mu again.

In his opinion, that Chen Shuai was the master of arms in the Ming Dynasty, no matter what rare things he found, Second Master Chen would definitely be able to create them.

He didn't need better firearms, but he needed better armor.

Zhuang Gong's manpower was much better than that of Lin Afeng, and they were only entangled because there were more troops outside the castle to defend the north than the port, and because they were not familiar with the terrain, they entered the camp of the Spanish hired Luzonians, and encountered a Luzon army with slightly more troops than them.

There was no suspense in the result, although those people also had firearms, but they were not as skilled as pirates in using firearms, and they simply charged at the pirates after firing at each other for a while.

But charge, is it Zhuang Gong's opponent?

The front was cut to pieces, and a bunch of people in the back simply surrendered, harvesting some siege ladders from the prisoner camp, Zhuang Gong almost didn't think about the siege of the city, killing the head of the city and losing a team was repulsed, and saw the letter cannon in the port exploding, so he led people to drive the prisoners to carry the ladder all the way.

Lin Feng fought a battle here, and a lot of people died, and Zhuang Gong also fought a battle, and there were more troops than before.

"Rest, guard with guns, Zhuang Gong let people tear down the house to make shields and wooden cards, rest for an hour, if they don't attack it, we will bombard his broken iron gate with artillery and knock down this rotten stone fort!"

Lin Feng guessed that there shouldn't be many defenders in the castle, otherwise there wouldn't be no movement for half a day.
