The one-pound cannon was called the cannon, and the sixteen-pound cannon was also called the cannon, in this era. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info artillery is the most powerful weapon, this "big" word is well deserved. The soldiers on the bell tower were on a high place, and he could see from different angles, and the Spaniards on the stone-walled forts below had not yet seen it, and they were a little panicked for a while, but the natives had already rushed to him.

The Spaniards on the stone wall clearly saw that the natives were knocked down by the artillery and muskets behind them, and running slower was the end of death, and now these natives were not so much charging as fleeing for their lives, and the closer they were to the fortress, the more chance they had to live.

"Major! Look over there, at least sixteen pound guns!! ”

After the lookout post screamed, he hurriedly called the officer below, and the officer hurried up to the bell tower, and the sudden exclamation of the sentry on this tense and tired morning was very infuriating, and the officer was supposed to teach him a good lesson. On the side of the bell tower, you can clearly see that hundreds of paces away, the wooden house that was pulled by dozens of cows has already unloaded the roof, revealing the cannon body inside, which is indeed a cannon.

The officer also gasped when he saw the size of the cannon body, and then said forcefully: "The Han people's cannon casting technology is very poor, their cannon is at most sixteen pounds, and I don't think it can reach twelve pounds!" ”

The problem is that at this distance, the twelve-pound artillery is also enough to kill, and there are only a few six-pounder guns directly in front of the fortress, and it is not that the fortress is designed sloppily or laxly, and that kind of cannon can be used against the natives.

The officer said this, and kept running down, shouting loudly as he ran: "Open the cannon, open the cannon, the other side has set up heavy artillery!" ”

How can the artillery be fired now, the officer who is arranging the defense looks at the natives who are frantically surging in front of him, and begins to open artillery, and the soldiers of the defending army will have a certain space, but the artillery fire at the main gate of the fortress at this distance and angle will no longer have any effect.

"Musket shooting!"

Seeing that the natives were about to lay the planks in the trench, the officer shouted loudly, and the muskets immediately began a salvo, and the natives fell directly within the firing range.

Although the Han people on the periphery were demolishing the buildings, the houses around the fortress did not move, some of which were built by the Spaniards and some by the indigenous nobles, which looked a little regulated, but in the two days of fighting, these houses also became dilapidated.

The Spaniards, who were stuck in the fortress after a night of smoke, did not know if there was anyone hiding in these places, and they refused to waste shells on these buildings.

After hearing these shouts, you can also see that there are firearms in these houses, and the retreat of the natives is forcibly stopped, and on the side of the fortress, there are also many people who go out to have fun in the past, and can clearly hear the content of the shouts outside, that is, if they retreat again, they will be cut up one by one and thrown into the sea.

If you throw yourself into the sea with wounds all over your body, and be stimulated by the salt of the sea, it is indeed worse than death, not to mention, the smell of blood will quickly attract sharks when are you so cruel, and the Spaniards on the fortress cursed loudly, because they saw that not only the natives who had just retreated were coming up again, but also the new forces that had been driven over were constantly joining from behind.

Of course, the Spaniards didn't know that there was a small commotion among the natives last night, and several natives who were caught were dealt with in this way, and the deterrent effect was really strong.

The batteries on both sides of the main entrance of the fortress began to adjust the orientation of the artillery, preparing to fire at the Han heavy artillery that had moved closer, but the harassment and attack of the natives had bought the heavy cannon enough time.

With a "boom", the battlefield fell silent, not because everyone didn't make a sound, but because all the sounds were muffled by the sound of the cannon.

The whistling sound of the cannonballs flying through the air could no longer be called sharp, as if a strong wind had suddenly blown, the angle of fire was not too high, and the shells hit the stone wall to the left of the main entrance of the fortress.

Many of the Spaniards on the stone wall jumped from the stone wall toward the courtyard when they saw the cannon firing, others hurriedly lying behind the concealment, and others running in both directions to get out of the area.

The cannonballs smashed into the stone wall, and the stone wall shook heavily, and the Spaniards who were still standing were shaken to the ground, and the area where they were hit, the stones and slabs were shattered, and the rubble flew in all directions, breaking the heads of the indigenous people who had just rushed over and bleeding, killing and wounding everywhere.

The tremor made the whole fortress feel it, and Paul Louis rushed out of cover and shouted at the stone wall: "Shoot back, fight back!" ”

What's more amazing is that the people on the stone wall were not injured in this shelling, everyone was in a state of dizziness, in fact, they didn't need their governor to shout, they also knew to fight back, under such heavy artillery fire, the defense of the fortress may not last long.

The various attacks on the fortress in the past few days, which looked ridiculous and stupid at the time, have the answer at this time, it turns out that the other party wants to move the heavy artillery to the effective range of the fortress, with this heavy artillery, you don't have to bother to besiege and attack, you can knock it open with this cannon.

However, at this current range, the artillery on the fortress can still return fire, at least it can be suppressed, and the opponent cannot continue to open fire.

The artillerymen staggered to the artillery, and as soon as they picked up their tools, the people in the area on the left felt their bodies sink and fall down.

There was a scream on the stone wall, half of the wall had collapsed, a cannon shot down, the whole structure collapsed, and there were heavy artillery on it, it was in a crumbling state, and now the artillery stepped on it, unable to bear this weight, and half of the wall collapsed directly.

There were no casualties in this one, the artilleryman fell, at most fractured, but the natives had already rushed over, and the artillerymen could only fight with the tools in their hands in a hurry, or wait for death.

After this chaos, the other two remaining artillery pieces could not fire immediately, and the collapsed wall made it easier for the natives to climb, and the infantry on the wall didn't care about anything, but directly rushed up with muskets and opened fire to disperse the natives who had climbed up.

It was a roar again, and the chaotic time was enough for the heavy cannon to complete the loading, and as soon as the cannon sounded, the people on the wall near this gate hurriedly ran away, grasping and hiding, and the cannon "has proved how powerful it is." Not to mention the white people on the stone wall, even the natives below suddenly dispersed, so as not to be accidentally injured by the sand and stones stirred up by this cannonball.

The stone walls of the fortress shook again, and this time the position was corrected, and the Spanish defense did not block the gate, but in order to maneuver and attack at any time, which made the structure of the gate even more brittle. Weak.

In the second shot, the gate tower collapsed directly, and the artillery on it was also unable to fire, and the entire gate became a slope, although it was a little steep, but there was no need to climb.

The overseers hiding in the buildings near the fortress shouted loudly again, those cannons outside the range of the fortress cannons did little damage to the fortress, but they were enough to supervise the battle.

What chilled the Spaniards in the fortress was that the quality and quantity of the Han people's artillery even exceeded that in the fortress, and the reason why only this heavy artillery was used to bombard was just that it was troublesome to move.

Although these two days are very long, it may be seen that the Han people still want to fight quickly, so they consume a lot of indigenous manpower, and use various methods to move heavy artillery, if the other side is willing to extend the time of the battle, for example, within a month, it will become very easy to take the fortress.

Under the supervision of these light artillery, the natives reluctantly rushed towards the fortress again, the sharp force output on the stone wall has weakened a lot, and the natives are not willing to build fortifications in other places to climb, and the main gate of the fortress that has been opened by the artillery has become the easiest gap to climb.

The natives rushed in droves, but immediately retreated, for the heavily armed Spaniards rushed out, and the muskets, spears, and slashes of the great swords, and the indigenous mob with bamboo guns and machetes in their hands had no way to fight, and the number of Spaniards who came out this time was nearly a thousand.

After defeating the natives, the Spanish soldiers did not continue to pursue the fleeing natives, but rushed directly in the direction of the heavy artillery.

At present, the biggest threat to the fortress is this heavy artillery, although the number of naval guns at sea is larger, but they are restrained by the cannons on the battery, and at most it is skin damage, but if this heavy artillery is allowed to bombard again and again, the entire fortress will collapse.

After knowing that there were Han Chinese outside, the Spaniards first had confidence in holding on, but after discovering the heavy artillery, they decided to send people out to seize the artillery, and the Spaniards were confident that they could defeat the Han forces with 800 people.

The perimeter was mostly buildings, the Spaniards were in a tight formation, the trotting speed was fast, and after the first round of light artillery firing on all sides, the next shots did not have much effect, but to the surprise of the Spaniards, the heavy artillery of the Han did not make any adjustments because of their sorties, and continued to wash the chambers there and prepare for firing.

The artillery did not move, so wait to be rushed to the front and slaughtered, the Spanish officers who rushed out shouted loudly, and the soldiers also shouted trumpets and quickened their pace.

The thunderous roar sounded for the third time, and although he knew that the cannonball would fly over his head, he still subconsciously bent down and paused slightly.

Once again, the shells focused on the stone walls of the fortress facing the interior, and this time the artillery repositioned itself and did not hit the previous position, but deflected to the left.

The natives who were pouring up the slope to fight the Spaniards were not too affected by this cannon, but the gap in the stone wall that had already been broken was further enlarged by this cannon.

"Pick up the pace ......."

The Spanish officer who led the way yelled, and just halfway through the sentence, he heard a rhythmic drum beat on both sides of the street, this drum was not unfamiliar to the Spaniards, this was the marching drum of the army, and then in front of the heavy artillery, the Han soldiers in plate armor with guns in hand lined up from both sides, and then formed a horizontal formation.

"Ready to shoot!"

The Spaniards didn't understand this sentence, but they also understood what the other was going to do when they saw the other man's movements, and the drums were always beating rhythmically, and they could see the spear queue continuing to appear.

At such a distance, you can see that the expressionless soldiers on the opposite side are not Portuguese, they are Han, they are Han people who were slaughtered like lambs a year ago, the Spaniards feel chills, when did the Han people have such a team, and the military power of the Ming Empire still stopped in the age of knights?

"For the sake of God and the king, rush over!"

At this time, it is impossible to retreat, you can only fight the opponent's firearm shooting can not form a continuity, rush to the front for hand-to-hand combat, the current situation, is not whether you can fight to the death, but turn around and flee to be chased and killed will be more casualties, the officer who led the team is a little bloody, shouting and running to the front.

The drums did not stop, and the last guns were pushed out, and the artillerymen shouted trumpets to move the four three-gun guns to the front of the array.

The muzzle of the gun is flat, the ammunition should have been loaded a long time ago, there is a heavy artillery behind it, the Spaniards in the fortress must come out to seize the cannon, these infantry and artillery have been waiting here for a long time, presumably the artillery has been loaded with ammunition, and there are ten ** or shotguns. "Boom, boom." The smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the four guns were fired one after another, which were shotguns, not iron sand, but dozens of metal balls, so that the effective range would be longer.

Hundreds of metal projectiles formed a barrage that covered the ranks of the Spanish foot soldiers, and even though the Spanish foot soldiers were wearing plate armor, the plate armor could not stop the high-speed iron balls fired from the barrel of the cannon.

The officer who rushed to the front and the several rows of soldiers behind him were swept away by this salvo of light artillery, and the rest of the men had no courage to continue the charge.

In fact, until they rushed over, they still had confidence, they felt that there would be no stronger soldiers than the Spaniards in the east, and the Han people could only rely on the large number of people, and could only rely on driving the natives to attack, but they were covered by the artillery this time, and saw the strict discipline and excellent equipment of the Han soldiers, they were completely desperate, and now they only wanted to run back to the fortress, at least there were fortifications, and there were more people.

However, Wang Tong's soldiers would not give them this chance, the artillery finished firing, the artillery retreated and stopped, the musketeers immediately followed the shooting, and the people who fell behind screamed and fell to the ground, the whole team was completely disorganized, and the pursuit continued......
