The side chords of the four warships continued to spit smoke and fire, and one after another shells hit Xintaicheng.

In the first round, the hit rate of the Ganlas was not high, and only three of the dozens of shells hit the triangular fortress of Xintaicheng. Aside from shattering a few stones, little was achieved.

The salvo moved the four ships more than a foot away, and the Ganlas had to adjust their muzzles again and recharge their guns.

At this time, the counterattack of Xintaicheng also arrived, and Lao Sun stared intently at one of the largest warships of the Ganlasi people.

Immediately after the enemy ship fired, the gunner poked the red-hot iron tongs into the hole. The 18-pounder shore gun roared and fired the projectile.

The artillery that had been exposed outside the bastion was pushed back sharply by the recoil. I kept rushing up the ramp that had gradually improved, and then slowly slid down.

The gunners did not even look to see if the shells were concentrated on the target, and rushed up one after another, some to clean the chambers, some to cool the guns with water-soaked linen, and some to reload the guns.

Although cooling the gun will affect the service life, in the heat of the artillery battle, who cares about those.

The life of the cannon is something that the cannon casting workshop needs to worry about, and the gunner only needs to use it hard. Lao Sun's group of gunners was well-trained, and they quickly completed their preparation for firing, shouting the trumpet to push the cannon out of the muzzle of the fortress.

Although the shell just now missed, it startled the Ganlas. The shells fired from the bastion landed a kilometer away from their battleship, and the splash of sea water poured into the gun deck.

If it weren't for the shelling just now that caused the battleship to pan, I'm afraid the battleship would have been pierced by the other side.

Lao Sun shook his head regretfully, it was just a little bit worse just now. If you raise the muzzle of the gun, you will hit the enemy ship.

"Count you red-haired ghost lucky!" Lao Sun muttered as he measured the distance of the shelling again.

The second round of artillery fire was fired almost simultaneously by both sides, and the muscles on Kasnal's face, who was watching from a distance, twitched slightly.

This is a very dangerous sign, and the people of the island are no worse trained than they are the Ganlas. At least there is a slight advantage in the speed of artillery fire, and it depends on which side God is on to win in a battle with such an opponent.

After two rounds of fire, the accuracy of both sides improved, and a shell from the Ganlas hit the outer wall of the fortress, and large pieces of masonry fell off, and the flying debris injured a gunner who was observing.

The heavy artillery beside Lao Sun was the first to fire, and a shell hit the tail tower of the enemy ship. The 18-pound iron ball was concentrated in the tall tail tower of the Gan Les people, and in an instant, a transparent hole was opened in the tail tower.

The cannonball pierced the entire battleship and fell into the sea from the other side, and the sawdust flying in the tail tower became an accomplice of the Changxing army, making the battleship deck wail.

More than a dozen sailors were wounded and fell on the deck screaming loudly. Fortunately, the rudder was not damaged, and the ship was beaten to one side at sea, and it took some effort to adjust the angle of the cannon.

On one side of the fortress, the gunners cheered through the sky. A young gunner shouted: "Old Sun! We have decided to drink the wine of the Governor, but you dare not say if you can drink it? Ha ha!! ”

"Fuck off! Little monkey cub, when Lao Tzu opened fire, you were still breastfeeding! Lao Sun was so angry that he threw fire on the members of his artillery crew.

"Next time, if you don't hit again, Du Temu will swim over to Lao Tzu and blow up the enemy's battleship. Lao Tzu is the first to go, and whoever doesn't go is raised by the little maid! Lao Sun's roar made the crew members extra careful, and operated the artillery to make sure that every movement was perfect.

Maybe it was Lao Sun's threat that worked, or maybe God was on Lao Sun's side. Firing again, Lao Sun's group directly hit the side chord of the enemy ship.

Directly in the side chord of the enemy ship opened a huge opening, the huge force hit the whole battleship kept shaking, and from the hole that was sent out, a cannon and two Ganlas soldiers fell.

Lao Sun's face was full of red light after hitting the enemy ship, and he proudly shouted to the artillery crew next to him: "Hou Liang! You're still young, don't you see! Lao Tzu will destroy the biggest enemy ship with one shot, and if you do it again, it will have to sink! ”

Not to be outdone, Hou Liang said: "Old Sun, don't be complacent too early, the one who has the last laugh is the winner." In the end, if you lose to the boy, your name as the first gunner will be mine!

Brothers! Work hard, sink the enemy ship, Lao Tzu will invite you to the most expensive restaurant to eat! ”

Xing Shenyan didn't stop seeing the two groups of people competing, and he was happy to see such competition. In the Changxing Army, he saw something different.

Kasnal's mood was not beautiful, and in a short time two battleships were damaged. One of them has already been withdrawn from the combat sequence, and if it is not repaired, it is in danger of sinking.

Apparently today God fell asleep and did not hear his prayers. It didn't take long for another shell from the bastion to hit the battleship's waterline, and the battleship that had been hit in the tail tower immediately fell to one side.

The structure of the Galen ship doomed the ship, with a waterline shot causing a large amount of seawater to pour into the ship's hold.

God couldn't do anything about such a big opening, and Castle watched as the battleship toppled little by little, and finally overturned on its side on the sea.

It didn't take long for the battleship to sink into the sea, and only about forty of the hundreds of sailors on the battleship jumped into the sea in time to save their lives, and all the rest sank into the sea with the battleship.

Castle knew that he couldn't fight any longer, and it would be foolish to bombard a battleship with a well-trained battery.

They hit the battery several times, and the battery was able to block the attack with its hard masonry. And their battleship could not withstand the enemy's heavy artillery at all, and under the threat of heavy artillery, he chose to retreat temporarily.

Seeing the Ganlas retreating, the Changxing army in the fortress cheered. It was the first time they had repelled an enemy ship without the help of a battleship, and everyone cried out with joy. The cheers rang out far and wide, and even the Ganlas on the battleship could hear them clearly.

Kasnall's face flushed as he listened to the cheers of the men in the bastion. He constantly swore to God that he would not give up until the enemies of the island were hanged.

The people in the fortress were cheering and celebrating, and there was no smile on the faces of Lao Sun and Hou Liang. Lao Sun looked at Liu Xu, who was lifted high, and said sourly: "Shit luck!" ”

Hou Liang also echoed, "It's so lucky! Let's see next time and see who has the last laugh! ”

Xing Shenyan said behind them: "The marshal often says that luck is also part of strength. I am willing to lose the gamble, and when the Ganlasi people retreat, the good wine is enough! ”

In the distance, Kasnar pointed to Xintaicheng on Sheliao Island and said, "The fortress is well built, but he has a fatal weakness. The side facing the sea is too narrow, and you can take the fortress by sending soldiers to the island! ”
