Chapter 481: Eyes, Crosshairs, Enemies
The Toledo soon sank to the surface, and there was a lot of debris and corpses floating in the original battleship's location. Occasionally, a few living people clung to the barrel and shouted for help, and the survivors had only fear in their eyes, and there was no sense of superiority.
The fancy sinking of the flagship of the Dry Wax Men left the remaining armed merchant ships without the will to resist, and all but one escaped, and all the rest flown with white flags and surrendered.
Originally, there were two plans to compete with the Changxing Army for speed, but after seeing the speed of the Flying Fish Clipper, they gave up the idea of escaping and surrendered obediently.
The only armed merchant ship that escaped was the armed merchant ship that had been wounded at the beginning of the battle and had withdrawn from the battle, and the Flying Fish Clipper of the Changxing Army chased after it.
The ship's luck was against the sky, and the stern cannon that escaped actually hit the mainmast of the Exocet clipper. In the face of the invincible dry silk people, the Changxing army is really powerless.
Fortunately, it didn't matter if only one armed merchant ship escaped, and the Changxing army won the final victory in this naval battle.
In this battle, the Changxing army sank the enemy flagship Toledo at the cost of heavy damage to the flagship, serious damage to one Sea Shark battleship, and minor damage to the other ships.
The four-hundred-and-twenty-ton battleship Ceuta, three armed merchant ships, captured the local battleship Alcalá and four armed merchant ships. Except for one armed merchant ship that escaped, the remaining warships were all destroyed.
The great victory in this battle made Jilong Bay an isolated city, and the Changxing army could attack Jilong Bay at any time as long as they wanted.
Valdes of San Salvador watched the entire naval battle between the two sides, and the Dry Wax lost without a temper at all.
With the advantage of the enemy, the outcome of such a naval battle was already predestined from the beginning. Valdes reluctantly put down the clairing mirror and said to the officers beside him: "Prepare for war with all your might!" Hopefully we'll make it to Hagrid and they come back! ”
Hagrid's 300 men were their last straw, and the city of San Salvatore now had less than 300 defenders.
And they have to face thousands of enemies, and these enemies are not just bows and arrows and spears. As long as their commanders are willing to pay the price, it only takes a few rounds to bombard the city of San Salvador.
Waldes prayed to God that the enemy commander was a sane man. If he was a madman, he wouldn't be able to keep Chicken Coop Bay anyway.
At the end of the naval battle, Zheng Yiguan ordered the treatment of the wounded and salvaged the dry silk people who were still struggling at sea.
In order to avoid a long night, the Changxing army immediately launched an artillery bombardment of the city of San Salvador.
The power of the 24-pounder guns was enormous, but the range of the guns was not as far as that of the Dry Wax Man. The Changxing army advanced to a distance of two miles under the artillery fire of the Ganlasi people, and fired rounds of shells at the city of San Salvador.
Despite its solid rock construction, the city of San Salvador was splintered with stone chips by 24-pounder guns.
In just one hour, the triangular fortress was destroyed by the Changxing army. Zheng Yiguan asked the fleet to fight a few more rounds, and the shells either flew over the fortress or hit the mountain.
He had no choice but to order the shelling to stop, turned his head and said to Wu Shuang: "The navy can only go here, and then it will be handed over to the army brothers!" ”
"Don't worry! Being able to collapse a corner of the fortress has helped us a lot, Wu Shuang has thanked Brother Zheng here! Wu Shuang clasped his hands into fists and said. Admiral Zheng did his best, and both warships were damaged by the other side in order to attack the city of San Salvador.
"Where, where! You're welcome! Zheng Yiguan ordered the boat to be lowered with a few polite words.
The Fu boats that followed in the distance also approached Sheliao Island, and they also lowered their boats, and the army of the Changxing Army rowed their boats towards Sheliao Island.
Valdes could see it clearly in the fortress, and he missed the three hundred soldiers who had followed Hagrid.
If these soldiers were there, they would have been able to inflict heavy damage on the enemy who landed. But there is no if in this world, and he can only give up this tempting idea.
Wu Shuang took the lead in landing Sheliao Island, where the terrain is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it weren't for the navy to knock out the fortress on this side, the current Changxing Army would have been covered by the artillery fire in the fortress.
Without waiting for the artillery in the rear to arrive, Wu Shuang led 300 people to march towards the fortress. He had to look at the firepower of the Dry Wax people before deciding whether to attack or not.
Wu Shuang had just arrived at the corner of the mountain, and the cannon fire of the Gan Wax people above his head began to sound. The soldiers of the Changxing Army immediately lay down, and Wu Shuang lay on the ground and looked upward.
But on the ruins of the fortress, several dry silk soldiers set up a small cannon. There was still smoke from the muzzle of the cannon, and it was clear that it was the shell from the small cannon just now.
As the shells were fired, dozens more musketeers appeared on the ruins. They poked their heads into the bottom to look down, and from time to time stretched out their fingers to point at Wu Shuang and the others.
"Up!" Wu Shuang led 300 people to immediately disperse to the top of the mountain, and could not let the dry silk people be idle. Once they set up artillery on the ruins, it would be a big threat to the early sun cannon, which had a range of only one mile.
As soon as the Changxing army moved, the dried silk gunners in the fortress sped up their hands. Their small cannons fired two rounds, and there was no result except for the smashed rocks that smashed the armor of the Changxing soldiers.
Wu Shuang led the people to a distance of 100 paces, at this distance, only artillery in the fortress could attack the Changxing army, and their guns could not hit so far at all.
The Changsheng gun in the hands of the Changxing Army is different, and the stability of the rifled gun allows the bullet to fly farther.
Feng Sibao hid behind a mountain rock and slowly stretched out the immortal gun. He cautiously poked his head out and aimed at the Dried Wax soldier who was preparing to fire the artillery.
He muttered quietly while aiming at his mouth: "Breathe steadily, the crosshair is aimed at the enemy, the eyes, the crosshair, and the enemy are three points in a straight line." Hold your breath and pull the trigger steadily. Fire! ”
As he muttered the trick the veteran had given him to use the Immortal Bolt, the bolt flew out of the chamber and struck at the soldier who had lit the fire.
Feng Sibao didn't immediately withdraw the firebolt when he fired the gun, he wanted to see how effective his attack was.
The bullet flew steadily in the air, hitting the dry silk man in the chest. The bullet instantly opened a bloody hole in the body of the dry wax man, and the charcoal in the man's hand stopped in the air, looked down at the bloody hole on his body, and turned over and fell off the fortress.
The death of the gunner made the Dry Wax men nervous, and they did not expect that the enemy's fire would go so far. The gunner, who was still busy, suddenly lay on the ground and no longer dared to operate the artillery.
The sound of the cannons in the fortress stopped at once, and the soldiers who were pointing fingers also retracted their heads back into the fortress, and no longer dared to stand out and look down with a big grin.
Wu Shuangyi waved his hand, and more than 200 Changxing troops rushed forward with fire guns. These former Han army flags rushed extremely fiercely, and they all hoped to make a contribution in the first battle, so that they could bring their families to the Changxing army to enjoy the blessings.
The first few people took a big stride and ran desperately upward, and suddenly there were more than two dozen dry silk people fighting on the ruins. The jaw of the black hole was aimed at them.
