Sandy and Castro at the head of the city were talking, but they found many Han Chinese pushing artillery towards Manila City from a distance.

"Damn it! The Ming must have made a pact with the pirates, and they actually helped the pirates to attack the city? These damned Orientals deserve to go to hell, and God will make them suffer forever! Sandy was furious at the head of the city, eager to kill all the Han people at once.

Castro observed for a moment and said, "Don't worry, old friend! They were pushing the 12-pounder guns on the batteries, and the 18-pounder guns at the head of the city could kill these guys regardless of range or power. Let's teach the Orientals a lesson, they are okay except for silk and porcelain, and they are far from fiddling with artillery! ”

Castro immediately commanded the artillery men at the head of the city, and they skillfully operated the artillery. The artillery was quickly loaded with ammunition and aimed at the Han people who were pushing the artillery.

"Your Excellency, Commander! Need to shell the Orientals at once? "When the artillery was aiming, they immediately came to Castro's side and asked for the cannon to be fired.

Castro was not in a hurry at all, and said softly: "Child! You have to learn to be patient, and when the enemy is about to win, let them taste the bitter fruits of defeat, which is the most exciting thing! ”

The old man surnamed Wang looked at the cannon that was pushing, and his heart was happy. It was the first time he had so many cannons, and if he pushed these cannons under the city, he would definitely be able to break through the city of Manila.

Thinking of the million taels of silver in the city, his heart began to burn. It was as if I had returned to the younger generation again, and the steps under my feet were a little brisker.

If he could push those bigger guns into the city, he would have a greater certainty, and he would not be angry when he thought of those big guys.

Only two of the 18-pounder guns were intact, both of which were obtained by Meng Fanrui. As soon as he thought that Meng Fanrui did not attack Manila together, his anger did not come together.

Meng Fanrui, you wait! When Lao Tzu pulls silver into a boat, you can cry! At the thought of silver, the old man opened his throat and shouted: "Brothers, work hard! Retreat the artillery to the city, and each person will be rewarded with five taels of silver! ”

"Thank you, owner!"

......

Listening to the compliments of the people, the old man smiled on his face. They managed to push the artillery a mile and a half below the city, not because they didn't want to open fire three miles away, but because their gunners were simply not sure to hit the city wall that far away.

This distance of a mile and a half is still forcibly requested by the old man, otherwise according to the gunner's idea, the artillery will be pushed directly to a mile away. They pushed the guns into position and began to build emplacements to reload the guns.

While they were busy, the cannon at the head of the city let out a loud roar. Four guns opened fire at the same time, hitting the busy Han Chinese. The artillery of the Dry Wax was accurate, and three out of four shells hit the target.

The gunners, who were still busy, were killed five people on the spot, and two pieces of artillery were destroyed. The old man surnamed Wang was cheering up the gunners around the artillery, promising that if the city wall was destroyed, the gunners would be given silver, women, and other benefits.

Before he could finish speaking, the artillery at the head of the city made a loud noise. When the old man was still stunned, the body of the gunner in front of him was instantly torn apart. Stumps and severed arms flew everywhere, and blood splattered the old man all over his body.

The old man's face suddenly turned pale, and he no longer had the high-spirited appearance he had just now. He trembled and grabbed a small piece of intestines from the top of his head and tossed it aside in horror. He turned and fled, and only then did he scream in his throat.

The gunners, who narrowly escaped, did not bother with the artillery at all, they turned and ran. The experience just now frightened them out, and no one thought that the shelling of the Dry Wax People would be so accurate.

Castro and Sandy laughed at the head of the city, looking at the Han people fleeing in embarrassment, and their hearts were happy. Sandy couldn't help but say, "Old friend! I think that 300 musketeers are enough to defeat the Ming people outside the city, and if you are more daring, you may be able to capture their emperor when you set foot on the land of the Ming Dynasty. In that case, we can easily conquer an empire, and then the good things such as silk and porcelain will be ours! ”

Castro said, "Old friend! You're thinking too optimistically, the population of that ancient empire is unimaginably large. Three hundred musketeers alone will not work at all, and I think three thousand musketeers are about the same. When I return to the New World, I will propose to His Majesty that I take the Musketeers next year to seize that fertile land. ”

The two of them regarded the Ming Dynasty as Indians and Mayans, and the former Ganlasi people conquered these two peoples with hundreds of people and a dozen war horses. In their opinion, the Ming people with similar skin are also very easy to deal with, as long as they want to, they will definitely be able to defeat the entire Ming Dynasty.

Just as the two of them were in a paranoia, the orca warship and the two galleons in the harbor spewed out clouds of white smoke. The 24-pounder cannon slashed through the sky towards Manila with a whistling sound, five miles too far, but within the maximum range of the 24-pounder gun.

Several shells did not hit the walls of Manila, only one landed inside the city, and the others stopped outside the city before they reached the city.

Sandy wiped the cold sweat from his head, let out a long breath and said, "Pirates are nothing more than that!" It scared me just now, what do pirates do but waste ammo? Don't ever want to hit Manila! ”

Castro was also in shock, and he was about to open his mouth to echo Sandy, when several cannon shots interrupted his words. The pirates in the harbor fired again, listening to the whistling of the cannonballs, and Castro lay on the ground without an image.

"Old friend! What are you doing? When did you become so daring? Sandy saw Castro lying on the ground in fright, and couldn't help but taunt a few words.

Castro, who was lying on the ground, roared angrily: "Shut up! Idiot! If you don't want to die, get down! ”

Before he could finish speaking, the shells fell inside the city of Manila. Although the 24-pound cannonball flew five miles away, it was still quite powerful when it landed in the city. Three houses were hit and collapsed, and the people inside were buried alive before they could escape. A cannonball hit the city wall, and the strong wall trembled slightly, so frightened that Sandy's face turned pale, and he could no longer pay attention to Castro's bad words just now.

Castro's face was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Old friend! We're in trouble! The pirates were more elite than I expected, and they took much quicker time to fire their guns than I expected. It shows that they are well trained, and the caliber of the artillery is also at least 18 pounds. If they are allowed to fight like this, sooner or later Manila will be destroyed! ”

"Ahh How so? Where did these damn pirates come from? Shall we let the natives come to the rescue? Sandy was completely out of shape and said anxiously.
