Chapter 61: Beachhead Assault!
This made all the pirates standing on the high place can't help but gasp, it seems that these Western pirates are by no means vain, just such a ferocious, high-frequency artillery bombardment, looking at the dock that has washed the artillery fire countless times, almost blown into ruins, Shi Xianggu was frightened, but also had to sincerely admire the superhuman mind of Master Liang. If Liang Pengfei really accepted his opinion at that time and defended the dock, then not to mention anything else, just this outrageous artillery fire, the ** hundred people guarding the dock position, now I am afraid that there will be no scum left, thinking of this, Shi Xianggu couldn't help but raise her wrist and wipe the cold sweat from her cheeks.
"Young master, when will we start counterattacking, and do we need to transfer the artillery at the anchorage?" A pirate leader walked up to Liang Pengfei's side and asked respectfully, at this moment, Master Liang's ability to calculate a last resort was already deeply admired by these subordinates, and there was no longer a trace of doubt.
"No, let Zhang Xingba and them continue to stay there, after all, that Spanish galleon is our trophy after all, even if it is blown up, we can't let it return to the hands of the Spaniards." Liang Pengfei shook his head, and when he heard the cold sweat on his head from Lieutenant Colonel Jose next to him, he subconsciously stood in front of Princess Maria again, for fear that the pirate leader, who was in a hot fight with Western pirates, would be crazy for a while and do something unforgivable to the respected princess.
However, Maria, who was wearing a nun's robe, had misty eyes and pink cheeks, and she couldn't see enough of Young Master Liang, who was standing on a high place and playing handsome. Lieutenant Colonel Jose could only roll his eyes helplessly, maybe at this time, it would be superfluous to do anything by himself.
"Young Master, they're attacking. Shall we start now? Monk Chen reminded Liang Pengfei as he looked at the clippers who had stopped shelling, were turning their bows, lowered the sampan on the clipper, and began to speed up towards the pier.
--------------------
"Don't worry, by the way, monk, are those trebuchets already in place?" Liang Pengfei still looked leisurely, covering his eyes with his hands on the pergola and looking at the top of the crab foot cliff on both sides. It seems that some figures can be seen hurrying up there.
Monk Chen nodded and said, "It has all been installed according to your instructions, young master, but our fire oil really has to be ......."
"I can't bear the wolf with the child, isn't it just ignition oil? Hey, hey, those Xiyi pirates, if they dare not surrender when the time comes, Lao Tzu will let them taste what it means to be a fire and water. "Young Master Liang, whose soul has been deeply engraved with the two terms vicious and despicable, is standing on the fort of the Liang Mansion at this moment, trembling with laughter. The obscene laughter made everyone present shudder.
"Being the enemy of the young master, those poor guys are really unlucky." Even Monk Chen, an honest man, couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart.
Just when Monk Chen sighed with emotion, Liang Pengfei continued to observe the actions of those pirates and ordered: "Monk, now you can take people down, remember what I said, no grenadier can never cross that breastwork, and can only obey the order to drop bombs behind the breastwork, understand?" ”
"Young master, rest assured, the little one obeys orders. Brethren, it's time for us to get on the pitch and fuck those bastards hard and let them know we're awesome! Monk Chen opened his shirt and shouted with his sturdy arm the thickness of someone else's thigh, provoking the echoes of countless Liang Jiajun, and this group of thugs, who seemed to have been unable to hold back for a long time, left the fort with Monk Chen and rushed to their position.
It was at the end of the ramp road leading from the pier to the island, where a breastwork was also placed, and the people brought by Monk Chen, in addition to the three hundred shooting pacesetters, each of the remaining hundred or so people were tall and strong-armed, and they did not have muskets in their hands, but each carried a hemp bag, which was not filled with sand and gravel, but shells like fakes.
This kind of cannonball, is the famous flowering shell, in the Ming Dynasty used a large number of people, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but gradually disappeared trace, and the old Liang family, who has been a pirate for generations, has always kept this kind of artillery shell, Liang Pengfei is in the last time Monk Chen showed his ability, threw the boulder into the farmhouse and got the inspiration, so as to organize such a grenadier troops. In order to play a huge role at a critical time, the ramp from the dock to the fortress will become a bloody road to death.
Captain Morley led his men to drive the sampan to the tidal flats that could no longer be called the dock, in addition to the craters and shells rolling all over the ground, as well as the fragments of the cannon that had been blown into scrap metal, and the clothes that were even hung on the walls, Captain Morley's howl of excitement seemed to infect all the Western pirates, and countless hot-blooded pirates even accelerated the speed of their rows and rushed to the dock with all their might.
However, Captain Morley was a little troubled by the excitement, those rocks and logs had turned the originally flat dock into a tidal flat full of countless obstacles, and he and his men had no way to speed up here, so they could only slowly pass through the obstacles that had been soaked in the seawater, and soon, the ruins of the dock, which was two or three hundred meters long and about thirty meters wide, were crowded with pirates who couldn't wait to pick the fruits of victory.
--------------------
At this moment, almost everyone heard the roar of artillery fire at the same time, and the sound did not come from behind, but from the front, and Captain Morley raised his head in some astonishment, and saw the tall and majestic fortress standing high at the end of the pier, and actually stretched out countless pitch-black cannon barrels, and it was the smoke and blazing smoke from those cannon barrels that proved the source of the sound.
The cannonballs screeched through the crowd, tearing the excited pirates' limbs to shreds, stirring up rubble and fragments, swirling and slicing through their muscles, veins, and even bones.
Screams and sighs came one after another, and the already chaotic dock once again silently endured the ravages of the artillery fire.
"Shoot back, tell them, return fire at once, attack that damn battery." Captain Morley lost the excitement and wildness of the first time he stepped on the docks, and his body was hunched like a beggar stealing sweet potatoes in the fields, and his voice was embarrassed and frightened.
Captain Morley was not disappointed, and the Western pirates reacted immediately and returned fire with artillery, but after one or two rounds of shelling, the Western pirates had to stop firing back.
"Damn it, cunning Orientals, why did they build the fort so high!" Captain Morley is like a hungry dog who sees a piece of fat hanging forever two centimeters from the tip of his nose, he is extremely sad and angry, but he is helpless.
The location of the forts of the Liangfu fortress is really wonderful, just at the end of the pier to the island, the straight-line height reaches more than sixty meters, plus the height of the base of the fort group itself, all the gun emplacements are at least nearly seventy meters vertical from the water surface.
Let the gunners on the Western pirate clippers find that their three-pounder and six-pounder shells fixed to the side of the ship are like an ant spitting at an elephant, and the soles of the batteries can't even reach the soles of the batteries. And the enemy's artillery fire can be easily poured down.
