Chapter 60 Crazy shelling!
"If our fastboat still can't capture this island, will we withdraw to Luzon like this?" Captain Morley, also the leader of the pirates, stood up and questioned Colonel Alfonso. His one-eyed fierce eyes were full of suspicion and distrust of the Spaniards.
"Of course not." Alfonso stood up in the eyes of everyone, straightened his clothes, and looked awe-inspiring: "I am a Spanish naval officer. The Spanish navy has never had the habit of retreating from the battle. If this wave still fails to take this island, I will personally lead the team to attack. In those years, we Spain relied on an expedition. We conquered a huge empire without even artillery. Today, we have 21 powerful warships here, not to mention a pirate's lair. Even if it is a fortress, our firepower can turn it into a pile of ruins and make this island the cornerstone of our achievements!"
This temporary military meeting once again aroused the courage of those pirates. It makes sense to think about it. My first attack on my side was indeed a setback, but it also tested the strength of the other party, and it was too light on the enemy at the beginning. If it can be well arranged and attacked again, it is indeed for taking The next island is full of confidence.
"Do you think they can take down this island?" Looking at the pirate leaders who left one after another, Alfonso crossed his hands on his chest, his eyebrows were locked, and his blue pupils flashed with a light called nervousness.
Beside him, the lieutenant colonel of the Luzon Colony Fleet nodded confidently: "Although these pirates are the enemies of our colony, I have to admit that their combat effectiveness is strong. If they can't take it down a small island, it will be a joke."
"I hope, you know, I don't want the warships of our Luzon colony to suffer any losses here. In that case, it will have a negative impact on the Kingdom of Spain's control of the whole Luzon region." Alfonso looked at the island like a giant crab with teeth and claws, and a trace of sadness flashed on his young and handsome face.

"Of course not. I hope that the pirates of the Qing Dynasty can consume more of the strength of these pirates, so that it will be easier for us to clean up the mess, distinguished colonel." A captain straightened the white gloves in his hand, with a reserved and arrogant smile on the corners of his mouth.
Just when the fleet commander was uneasy, the two sides began to contact each other again. This time, the Western pirates no longer advanced as they did at the beginning. Similarly, the end of the seven Clippers made them understand that their goal was no longer to see the Spanish treasure ship that could not be eaten, but to capture the code. Head, stand firm on the island. If you attack from the rear, the opponent's artillery position will become a useless iron pipe.
Of course, they also know very well that this island is definitely not a bone that can be easily gnawed. So the pirates' attack this time seemed to be quite cautious. Their ships stopped outside the shooting distance of the musket and began to attack the dock indiscriminately with sideboard guns. Although they were all six to twelve-pound cannons, the ants bit the elephants to death, and countless gunfire blew up piles on the chest wall of the dock. The sand and dust hit white marks on the rock wall behind the dock.
And the pirates of the Qing Dynasty on the dock seem to have been overwhelmed by the gunfire of the pirates. Not to mention that the artillery of the counterattack was sparse, and even the drums that stimulated morale disappeared.
Looking at the rags and rotten shoes that flew slowly into the sky, and the broken barrel that seemed to have been ignited and collapsed on the iron, the pirates could imagine that the bodies of the Qing Dynasty pirates were torn apart by shells, and the blood in their hearts was even more boiling.
Unfortunately, they did not notice that the huge roar of artillery not only made their ears buzz, but also could not distinguish whether there was an injured howling and dying screams of Qing pirates in the sound of artillery.
"Cry with all your strength, shoot all the shells for me, and destroy the position on the dock for me." One after another, the pirate leaders and captains roared loudly on their express boats and urged the supervisor to fill the shells into the artillery and continue a new round of shooting. The thick smoke even covered their own eyes, but no one dared to stop the action. The crazy shelling, spewing flames made people I think of the boiling lava in hell.
Looking at the extremely miserable dock, the excitement and raging pleasure rose in the hearts of these pirates. Except for an occasional counterattack at the beginning, and in the end, there was no movement on the dock except for the smoke and dust caused by the gunfire.
"Did the other party let our artillery be wiped out completely?" One of the Western pirate gunners scratched the 250 expressions on his chin. The pirates next to him were looking for his false eyes that fell on the deck because of the panic just now. On the same time, he said in a very positive tone, "Of course, so many pirates attacked a small broken island. It was just careless just now. Can they still have the power to fight back against us?"
"Don't talk nonsense, continue to shell. Even if the barrel is red, you have to give me all this ammunition on the dock. Do you understand, guys?" Behind them, with a blindfold, the scars on his face, who looked extremely ferocious because of the excitement of his expression, waved the sword in his hand and roared loudly, attracting everyone's response and faster shelling.
Captain Morley's mood is particularly happy. He has never been so happy. He is a pirate. At most, he only commands the battle and fire of warships at sea. Today, here gives him a sense of pleasure to become a conqueror, as if it were the resistance of another civilization, which will collapse under his own fire. General.
"A little harder, so that they can't even have bone dregs left!" Captain Morley's almost hoarse roar echoed between the gunfire, and his ferocious one-eyed was the madness of destruction except blood.
There are even some cannons on the fast-fire ship, because the shooting frequency is too fast, the gun body is overheated and the gunner's accident, but this does not affect the enthusiasm of these pirates to continue to bombard. Perhaps destruction and destruction are their ultimate hope.
--------------------
At this moment, on the fort of Liangfu Fortress, which stands high at the end of the slope of the dock, a magnificent figure is standing on the gun position, with his hands on his back, squinting his eyes, condescendingly at the crazy pirates and the dock caught in gunfire.
The eyes of the pirates around him looked at Liang Pengfei, which can only be described as worship. It was Master Liang who let everyone retreat in advance, and then left only more than a dozen old-style artillery on the dock position, using incense to regularly trigger artillery attacks, causing a fake resistance below. Elephant, but in fact, on the dock at this moment, not to mention people, even a cockroach can't be found.
Master Liang didn't have a trace of nervousness. Instead, he seemed to enjoy the feeling of smoke. His leisurely and scattered eyes were like a beast lying quietly on the high ground, looking at the fat and tender sheep eating fragrant grass at the foot of the mountain. Occasionally, the cold light in the eyes, like the thunder and lightning moving downstream of the clouds in the sky, makes everyone feel a kind of trembling in their hearts.
Shi Xiang's eyes occasionally fell on Liang Pengfei's handsome face, but she always moved away quickly, with a rabbit in her heart, always jumping around.
After nearly 20 minutes of fierce shelling, the dock originally made of mud and logs has become a ruin, more like a beach that has become extremely messy due to industrial pollution in later generations. The logs on those docks are floating on the water, and some of them have been broken into several pieces, flying. Wood chips are covered with hundreds of meters of waterways, and the original neat appearance can no longer be seen.
