Chapter 114 Kick to the iron plate

There are many fragments of boats floating on the shore of Peace Island, as well as the bodies of some people, and the sea water on the shore has almost been dyed red.

The Spanish soldiers who had not yet landed were hit by an unusually fierce shelling when they just approached the shore. The sea wolf's fort concentrated its fire and bombarded them with grape bombs. Three boats were hit by grape bombs on the spot, two of which were directly hit by a pile of grape bombs on the spot. He was beaten and disintegrated in the sea.

The Spanish soldiers and sailors loaded on the ship were beaten to pieces under the grape bomb. Many people were dismembered on the spot, smashed meat and sank into the water with the boat.

The rest of the boats also suffered some losses and were hit by individual scattered grape bombs, but the ship's losses were not very large, but the people on board suffered a lot of losses.

Before they landed, at least in the sea, more than 30 Spanish soldiers and sailors lost their lives in the sea.

The rest of the Spaniards were scared to death. Although they knew that they would be shelled by the enemy before landing, they still found that the sea wolf's cannon was too fierce, and the whole sea on the shore seemed to be a big hail, and their eyes were full of shells. Waters.

Some Spanish soldiers kept drawing crosses on their chests and talking about God's blessing, but God didn't know what he was doing at this time and didn't hear their prayers at all, making one Spaniards blood stain the sea one after another.

It was not easy for them to drive the boat to the shore, but the terrain on the shore here is complex, which is not conducive to landing on the beach. When a boat docked, it actually hit the reef and was immediately framed in the reef. It was stuck and could no longer advance or retreat.

The boat then became the focus of the sea wolf cannon. It hit the boat with a lot of holes. The people on the boat were almost slaughtered. The remaining living jumped into the sea water crazily and swam desperately to the shore.

These people were lucky enough to go ashore, but found that the * they carried were either lost in the sea or left on the ship. Even if they were brought to the shore, the fire rope was soaked and the gunpowder was soaked and could no longer be used.

More than 100 Spanish soldiers were lucky enough to climb the shore, but they were crushed under the reef on the shore by grape bombs and scattered bombs fired by cannons.

At this time, the sea wolf fort didn't care about the Spanish ships on the sea. It concentrated its firepower to beat the Spanish soldiers who tried to attack the fort, and kept firing at their landing site. First, it smashed the boats leaning against the seaside with grape bombs, and then used scattered bombs to bombard those landing on the shore. Spanish soldiers.

Originally, according to their commander's request, these Spanish soldiers had to approach the battery as soon as possible to hide in the shooting corner of the cannon, but the artillery firepower in the sea wolf turret was so strong that they were almost uninterrupted shelling them.

The number of heavy artillery loaded with scattered bombs is very terrible. Twenty-pound guns can generally fill hundreds of small projectiles at a time. One cannon is a large area, as powerful as a big iron broom. When each shot goes down, the shore is like a heavy rainstorm, hitting the reef fragments on the shore.

Several Spanish soldiers who stood up and tried to attack according to the order had just stood up and stumbled forward for a few steps before being hit by a shot.

These unlucky ghosts who were shot were immediately beaten to fly flesh and blood. Some people were bombarded into scum on the spot, and flesh and blood flew around. It was impossible to fight their bodies together. Some people were shot upside down and fell heavily in the reefs, killing them at once.

As a result, after landing, the Spanish soldiers were suppressed on the shore, almost walking a little. Some people kept praying for God to bless them, and some people cursed loudly, scolded the damn Anthony, and sent them to this hellish place.

The commander was also scared to death at this time. He tried several times to lead his troops to rush out of the dead land, but as soon as he appeared, he was beaten down. He turned his head and saw that they were almost crying. The boats that transported them were now stopped on the shore and became live targets. The sea wolves could not see their living people, so they follow these The boat fired a gun.

Several boats kept trembling under the fire of the sea wolf's gunfire. They were all full of holes, and the sailors left on the ship were also killed and injured. They quickly jumped off the boat and found a reef to hide, which saved their lives, but they wanted to go back, unless they captured the fort, otherwise, even Their commander Anthony wanted to save them, and there was no small boat, and he didn't dare to drive the big boat directly to the shore and be exposed to the muzzle of the enemy cannon.

As soon as these Spaniards got ashore, they were forced to come and sink the boat and fought back to the water. Now they suffered. In front of them were rainy shells, falling towards them, and behind them was the vast sea. There was really no way to heaven and no way into the earth.

The commander of the Spanish infantry saw that he was so suppressed on the beach and had no future except to wait for death, so he had to pull out the command knife and roar to let the soldiers find reef cover, take advantage of the firing of the artillery of the fort to move forward and get out of the dead area as soon as possible. At least run to the place where the cannons can't hit them.

The soldiers also knew that there was no future to stay here, so under his order, they began to jump back and forth between the reefs in tremblingly, taking advantage of the gap between the firing of the fort cannons, moving towards the fort.

Fortunately, the strange rocks on the shore of Peace Island are not an unobstructed open place, providing some good cover for these Spaniards. Under their slow advance, they finally entered the shooting dead corner of the battery cannon.

At this time, Anthony was also nervously paying attention to the situation of these landing soldiers. Seeing this scene that happened on the shore, he was naturally in a good mood now. How sad he was. He did not bring many soldiers. He sent one-third of the soldiers and lost dozens of them this time. He also lost a lot of small boats carried with the ship, making it difficult for him to organize a landing operation.

And he also saw that the soldiers he sent were crushed to death on the shore by the artillery fire of the sea wolf fort, so he could only order the fleet to fire at the Peace Island fort desperately, bombard the fort to suppress their firepower and provide cover for the soldiers.

The turret was splashed with limestone by the Spanish cannons, but with its solid structure, it was still motionless. It was not until these Spaniards rushed into the corner of artillery shooting that they stopped suppressing their artillery fire and turned the cannon around the muzzle. , pointing to the Spanish ships on the sea and fighting towards them.

At this time, some soldiers left the gun position of the cannon, picked up their huskling guns, ran to the small shooting holes everywhere in the turret, propped the tlock guns out of the firing holes, and aimed at the open ground outside the turret.

The Spanish infantry finally ran to the shooting corner of the cannon, but immediately entered the * shooting range of the sea wolf soldiers. Within a few tens of meters outside the fort, the reef began to become scarce and the terrain became much wider, making the Spanish soldiers lose their effectiveness. Cover.

At first, these Spanish soldiers tried to assemble and attack the fort, but as soon as they left the cover reef and had not yet gathered under the command of the commander, they were shot in a row, and suddenly several soldiers were knocked to the ground by * bullets.

Only then did they know that these pirates not only had fierce cannons, but also had so many sharp*. No wonder the Spaniards proposed to sell some muskets to the sea wolf merchant ships that went to Manila to trade. These sea wolves refused on the spot. It turned out that they already had Less like this*.

This was a complete pain for these Spanish soldiers who landed. Their assembly operations were immediately dispersed, hid back into the reefs, and no longer dared to line up outside to attack.

The Spanish infantry commander tried several times to gather his soldiers, but he was shot back behind the reef by the sea wolf's * volley without exception, and this time he was completely blinded.

When they came ashore, they didn't even carry a small cannon. They only brought some gunpowder and * with the ship. These light firepower could not gnaw the fort at all, and there were so many rope guns in the fort, blocking their way forward. This time, they should not call the ground every day, so they could only be blocked in front of this. On the island without a shop behind the village, hiding in the reef can't move.

As for seizing the fort, after his observation, he immediately gave up the idea.

This fort is indeed a burglary building. It is built very strong, and the open door is also on the side. There are dense holes blocking the gate. Without enough troops, it can't get close to the gate at all. Don't talk about blowing up the door with gunpoe and rushing into the fort.

At this time, they are almost about to cry and don't know what to do. In a word, this time they completely kicked on the iron plate!

The commander saw that time passed little by little. Once in the afternoon, if they still couldn't take the turret, it would be impossible to evacuate here.

So he could only harden his scalp again and force the soldiers to gather and attack tentatively. If it really didn't work, he could only give up and wait for Anthony to send a ship to rescue them.

These Spanish soldiers had no choice but to gather again, but as soon as they appeared, they were shot again, and several guys were killed in front of the crowd. However, under the order of the commander, they did not dare to withdraw this time and forcibly assembled, but they did not dare to discharge. The formation is too dense, and it will be cut to the ground like rice.

But they had just finished ast the assembly this time, and there was no time to attack the fort, and there was another * gunshot on the fort.

(Thank you for the reward of the old brother Wu of Eagle!)
