Now that the security forces are firing a volley, he knows that the effective range of the artillery on the opposite side is so far, and he is shocked by the cold sweat of Keleo.

"Order the sailmen to hang the full sails, and we'll lean in and kill their artillery!" Kellero had already spotted the security army's artillery positions through his monoculars, but he wondered how the enemy's artillery fire did not have a large puff of white smoke.

No sooner had the Spanish ships accelerated than the second round of shelling by the security forces arrived, with less than eight seconds between the two rounds of shelling.

"Boom......!"

An iron projectile of eighty millimeter caliber, equivalent to eighteen pounds, smashed on the deck of the "Marilyn".

This cannonball made a large hole in the size of a basin in the deck made of oak wood, and then the iron pellet did not stop, but with the remaining energy, rushed into the lower gun compartment and hit a bronze cannon with a loud "clang", and then the iron pellet rebounded and knocked the two gunners next to him to the ground, and finally rolled twice on the lower deck before stopping.

The artillery of the security army could not be compared with the Tiance army, and it was the first time to hit a moving ship, so it was able to hit two shells at a distance of about six or seven hundred meters, which was already a very good result.

Taylor, who was originally a little drunk, was awakened by this cannon, and said anxiously: "Major, the Ming people on the opposite side are too far away, shouldn't we attack?" ”

"Shut up, I don't need you to teach me!" Caleb, who was already angry, glared at Taylor viciously, "Now you immediately rush to the gun warehouse and tell the group of idiots below, I don't care what method they use, immediately fire at the enemy, if the normal charge doesn't work, then the strong charge, can't let the Ming people be so rampant anymore!" ”

"But ......"

"Nothing!" Taylor wanted to argue but was blocked by Kelleo's words, "We must teach these Ming people a bloody lesson and knock out their artillery, otherwise we will be in big trouble." ”

Looking at Calleo's anxious red eyes, Taylor swallowed what he wanted to say, and silently saluted him before going down.

The big trouble that Kelleo is talking about is that Tamsui is too close to Keelung. With such a large number of immigrants and such a large number of artillery pieces with such a long range, it will be a big problem for Keelung.

He couldn't figure out how those stupid and cowardly Oriental natives could research such a long-range artillery, this is obviously unscientific, doesn't it mean that the Chinese people only talk about it and despise the navy and firearms?

The three Spanish warships advanced under the fire of the security forces, and by the time they reached a distance of 500 meters, the security forces had already fired eight rounds of artillery fire, and as the distance closed, the accuracy of hits increased significantly.

It was then that Kellero discovered that the enemy's artillery had a rate of fire of seven to eight rounds per minute, while his own bronze cannon could only fire one or two shells a minute.

"Open the cannon, open the cannon quickly, we can't be beaten like this all the time and not fight back." Keleo ordered without hesitation at more than four hundred meters.

Most of the naval naval gun duels in this time and space take place at a distance of more than 200 meters, which is within the best range of the bronze cannon, and it will be difficult to shoot at the enemy ship beyond 300 meters, which is purely a waste of ammunition.

The ship's guns had to be pushed closer to at least three hundred meters, but Calleo couldn't care so much.

"All of them!" The guns on the Spanish warships, which had already opened their guns, opened fire one after another, and for a while the white fog was shrouded, and iron projectiles flew towards the shore.

It was similar to the first round of shelling by the security forces, and none of the more than 80 shells made a difference. However, it also really frightened the artillery of the security army, and the number of enemy battleship artillery was indeed terrifying, especially after the cannon was fired, the white fog shrouded it, which was very imposing.

"Putting ......"

"Fire ......"

"Give Lao Tzu a hard beating......!"

The roar of the artillery of the security forces was heard from the artillery positions, and they could not help but speed up the shelling. It was as if just now enemy shells flew over their heads, because they heard the whistling of shells flying.

At this time, all the gunners had only one thought, and that was to sink the enemy ships in front of them.

The war happened too suddenly, the security forces used solid artillery shells, and only within 300 meters could they hit a relatively straight trajectory, and this was the first time that the security army army had fought a warship, and it was inexperienced, and the advantage it relied on was the rate of fire and range.

In the operational thinking of this era, it is stupid for a naval gun to fight a shore gun, because the shore gun is not installed on a ship, so it will not sink. Calleo relied on a large number of artillery, and although the enemy fired on the shore, there was no battery to protect it. It's a pity that he seriously underestimated the range and rate of fire of the security army's artillery, and the security army's artillery is fired using modern gunpowder, which is more powerful, so the destructive power is amazing.

As the distance closer, shells continued to hit the Spanish battleships, and when the distance was close to 300 meters, the "Marilyn" was hit by more than 20 shells.

The artillery fire of both sides continued for a long time, and finally a shell hit the artillery position of the security forces, and a Type 37 artillery was overturned, killing two soldiers and seriously wounding one.

The commander of the second regiment, Xie Lin, who was crawling on the ground to observe the shelling battle, gritted his teeth angrily, and he angrily gave an order: "All rifles fire, target enemy ships!" ”

Now the enemy ship is within 300 meters, and the effective range of the Type 37 rifle is 400 meters, although the smoothbore gun has no accuracy, but Schelling can no longer care so much.

The entire Second Regiment of the Security Army has a total of four Type 95 rifles, which are owned by the former soldiers of the Tiance Army, the current commander of the Second Regiment, Xie Lin, and three battalion commanders. Although they were converted to the security forces, the four rifles were not recovered.

For a time, there was a lot of gunfire on the shore, and bullets flew towards the enemy ships.

The three Spanish ships had already suffered heavy losses in the artillery battle, and the successive hits also caused many casualties. The security rifles were involved in the attack, which increased the rate of casualties, because the oak hull could not block the shots of the bullets, and at best could only slow down.

"Bastard, how can these Ming people have so many arquebuses?" Calleo has completely lost the calmness he had at the beginning of the war, and has been hit by more than 20 holes due to the continuous bullets of the "Marilyn" on the deck and hull. The enemy had muskets, and there were quite a few of them, which made his heart plunge into the valley of ice.

"Boom...... Bang bang ......"

Suddenly a loud bang sounded from not far away, Keleo turned his head to look, his eyes suddenly widened, and his face showed a look of horror, he saw that the front mast of the "Seagull", which was originally following him, was actually hit by a cannonball, and the huge kinetic energy broke the mast that was as thick as a sea bowl, and the broken mast made a tooth-rattling sound......!
