Chapter 502: See who dies!

The death brigade that was originally under the city also retreated with Tao Lei, while Fernandez stood on the spot.

The second plan, he doesn't know! Seeing that the soldiers under the city turned around and left, he was the only one left. He could only follow Tao Lei, for fear of being accidentally injured by Changxingjun.

Zhang Huan on the pier has been observing the movement of Manila City, although he can't see the situation under the city, but the sound of artillery is the order to act.

The moment he heard the sound of the cannon, he also gave the order: "Open the cannon!" ”

The gun window of the killer whale battleship opened instantly, and the guns that had been measured many times directly pushed out of the gun window and fired. Not to be outdone, the Intrepid and Endeavour also opened fire on the battery at the first opportunity.

In an instant, the smoke of gunfire rose from the port wharf, and heavy shells hit the batteries on both sides of the port.

The Orca battleship's 24-pounder cannon was the most ferocious, and two shells smashed a corner of the battery, and the soldiers in the east battery were buried under the battery before they could react.

Although the Dreadnought and Endeavour did not have 24-pounder guns, the number of 18-pounder guns was more than enough to make up for the lack of firepower.

After dozens of shells covered it, the western battery collapsed in a puff of smoke. The fort, which Manila was proud of, turned into dust before it lasted a quarter of an hour.

Before the dry silk gunners and aboriginal auxiliaries in the battery could figure out who the enemy was, they were buried under the rubble.

"Two more rounds, make sure the battery is destroyed!" Zhang Huan said to the gunner. In the port of Manila, apart from the galleons, the only thing left is the battery.

The moment the cannon sounded, the soldiers on the ship had already rushed to the galleon docked on the dock, and Zhang Huan was full of confidence in dealing with the galleon with only the personnel left behind.

As long as the fort is completely destroyed, the Changxing army will be invincible. Therefore, he hit the artillery fire on the batteries on both sides at the first time, and it was extremely important to destroy the batteries.

Pan Xuezhong and Ma Xiaoliu led more than 30 soldiers to target the 1,200-ton Mexico, this galleon is not so much a warship as a large merchant ship.

Huge hull, tall mast, two sections of upturned bow and multi-storey stern. The hull is wide, and despite the numerous sails of the mast, it must not be fast.

The wide hull and multi-storey stern improved the seaworthiness of the seagoing vessel at the expense of speed. So this kind of galleon is more suitable for transporting cargo, than for a battleship.

The purpose of the Dry Silk people to build this kind of sailing ship was indeed to travel back and forth between Manila and the New World, to transport silk and other specialties from the East to the New World, and then to the Atlantic Ocean by overland to transport them back to the Kingdom of Dry Silk.

Therefore, there were not many soldiers on the ship, and there were only six 24-pounder guns. Now it was again in the harbor, and most of the sailors on board were drinking and merry-drinking in the bazaar, and there were no more than fifty people left on board to keep watch.

The location where the killer whale battleship was anchored was not far from the galleon, and Pan Xuezhong had already been killed in less than a quarter of an hour at a distance of two or three hundred paces.

The galleons are very tall and it is not easy to get on them. In order to facilitate the loading and unloading of goods, the dry silk people enlarged the gun windows on the side and turned them into hatches that could enter and exit the goods.

When Pan Xuezhong ran near the galleon, several dried silk sailors were busy closing the hatch. The originally opened hatch had already been half closed, and if the enemy closed the hatch, Pan Xuezhong and other soldiers would have to pay a certain price if they wanted to climb onto the tall side of the ship.

Pan Xuezhong, who was running, took out the short hammer on his waist and pointed it at the dry wax sailor in the cabin.

At a distance of more than a dozen paces, the enemy fell in response. These sailors were not soldiers, and there were some indigenous coolies.

When I saw someone who had been shot and fell to the ground, I was so frightened that I retreated again and again. The screams of the wounded on the board irritated the eardrums of these people, and even the dry silk man did not dare to step forward.

Two dry silk men stepped forward at once, and they pulled the rope to close the hatch.

Pan Xuezhong, who had succeeded in one blow, quickened his pace, looking at the gradually closing hatch, and became more and more anxious. By the time he was ten steps away from the hatch, it was less than two feet away from closing.

Pan Xuezhong, who was in a hurry, ran two steps and jumped forward. Lie flat on your back on the ground. His body continued to move quickly with the help of a glide, and his feet slid into the hatch first.

Then came the body, and finally the whole person rushed in, and the soldiers who followed him rushed so hard that they didn't have time to stop and hit the hatch.

Pan Xuezhong, who entered the cabin, rolled on the spot and got up from the ground, and a cold light appeared in front of him. An axe slashed across his neck.

Pan Xuezhong hurriedly lowered his head and slashed the top of his helmet with an axe. The hand axe intersected with the helmet and grazed past the top of Pan Xuezhong's head.

The enemy's strength is not small, although he did not cut it down, Pan Xuezhong, who was half-squatting, was still led to sit on the ground.

Pan Xuezhong, who was sitting on the ground, fell his head, making the Venus in front of him out of sight. saw that the enemy was chasing after him in stride, not giving Pan Xuezhong a chance to breathe at all, and slashed at the top of his head with an axe.

Pan Xuezhong had no way to take out his shield from behind him to block, or draw out a steel knife to fight. He could only throw himself to the side, and he could not dodge the fatal blow in between.

Pan Xuezhong, who fell down, stood up with a roll, but before he could stand up straight, another dry silk man was killed.

This person held a cross sword and slashed fiercely, and Pan Xuezhong was very embarrassed by the two of them. Seeing the opponent's cross sword slashing, he could only take a step back.

There was another gust of wind behind him, and Pan Xuezhong, who really had nowhere to hide, could only turn sideways to avoid the fatal part and use the shield behind him to meet the opponent's blow.

The power of the hand axe was extremely great, and Pan Xuezhong was hit by this blow and rushed forward several steps in a row, almost falling.

It wasn't until this moment that Pan Xuezhong got a chance to breathe, he turned around and glared at the two dry silk people. Take off your shield from behind you and make a defensive stance.

The two dried silk people in front of him were tall and short, and the short dried silk man was extremely thick, and the axe in his hand weighed more than ten catties.

The tall, dry silk man was thinner, and the crosssword in his hand was four feet long, emitting a cold light in the gloomy cabin.

The attack just now annoyed Pan Xuezhong, and with his shield in his hand, he roared loudly at the two dried silk people: "Come on! Let's see who dies first! ”

The two dried silk men glanced at each other, and the two rushed forward one after the other. A short dry silk man picked up his axe and chopped it down, and Pan Xuezhong's giant shield blocked.

With the help of the cover of his companions, the tall dry silk man raised his sword and stabbed Pan Xuezhong's thigh. The tacit understanding between the two of them, I don't know how many opponents have been pitted by this move.

Pan Xuezhong raised his shield to block, but the shield blocked his view. The shield axes intersected, and the enemy's strength was full, and he hurriedly stepped back to unload his strength.
