With the sound of a huge roar, many people in the battery had a feeling of being stunned, but this did not affect the other artillery to continue firing, and many gun windows on the battery began to spit out flames one after another, and the black and hot shells whistled and flew towards the sea.

"Alas! Damn! Lost! The shell deviated two degrees to the left, visually inspected the distance of the enemy ship at a distance of 400 paces, and reloaded again! Fast! An observer leaned down next to an observation window and looked out to sea, observing where their shells landed, cursing regretfully, and reporting the data.

The gunner rushed to the cannon, cooperated with each other, first poured some water into the barrel, extinguished the residue and rags that had not been extinguished in the barrel, and then hooked the cloth of the remaining medicine bag in the barrel with something like a cork bottle driver, and then a person just pulled the hook out of the muzzle, and then a person just pulled the hook out of the muzzle, and then put a wet brush stained with water into the barrel of the gun, twisted it twice and pulled it back and forth twice, and pulled out the brush.

The other gunner also put a dry brush into the gun chamber at the moment when the gunner in front of him just pulled the wet brush out of the gun chamber, erasing the remaining water stains inside, and several people completed the cleaning of the gun chamber almost instantly, which is the effect they usually get from repeated training, otherwise it will take a lot of time to complete these actions alone.

At this time, the ammunition man had already lifted the medicine bag from the ground, sent it to the muzzle, and quickly stuffed the medicine bag into the gun chamber, two gunners held a large iron egg, and quickly stuffed it into the gun mouth, and another gunner used a gun rod to resist the shell, sent it to the bottom of the gun chamber, and smashed it back and forth a few times.

It is necessary to be skillful in tamping the ammunition, not too hard, and the gunpowder in the medicine bag should be too solid or too loose, otherwise it will affect the launch.

As soon as the ammunition was loaded, another gunner stabbed an awl into the chamber of the gun from the fire door, pierced the ammunition, and quickly poured some primer into the fire door, turned around and shouted: "Loaded!" Push gun reset! ”

More than a dozen villagers were immediately pounced on by the order to drink, exerted their strength to eat, shouted loudly, pushed the dead gun carriage, and pushed it back to the gun window, and the gunner took over them, told them to retreat, and began to operate the gun, adjusting the muzzle pointing and elevation angle.

"Aim! Fire! When the artillery commander in charge of aiming was determined, he jumped up and shouted loudly, and the rest of the people, hearing his roar, also jumped away, and drove the villagers from behind the cannon tails to the side, and killed some of them as the cannons recoiled.

And Feng Twelve has been observing the operation of the gunners in the turret, silently calculating their loading reset and aiming time, seeing that this group of gunners completed the entire operation, the action is very skillful, and the speed is also very fast, so he nodded with satisfaction, but the next thing he wants to see is how these guys are aiming, so he immediately turned around and walked to the observation hole and looked towards the sea.

The cannon shook violently again, and quickly sat down, and a piece of gunpowder smoke rose again outside the fort, and through the gunpowder smoke that was spreading, Feng Twelve vaguely saw a black dot flying out of the fort, flying straight towards a Spanish warship on the sea, and after a while, he vaguely saw that the side of the Spanish warship was a cloud of debris.

"Valid hits! Pretty! Right on the side of the ship! Played beautifully! Ha Lu Ha! ......" The observer of a cannon laughed excitedly, and almost twisted his ass and danced.

Feng Twelve also clenched his fists hard, shook his arms, his face showed excitement that could not be concealed, and he turned around and shouted: "Well done brothers, just beat Lao Tzu like this, beat these foreign devils to death!" Let them taste the power of our sea wolves! ”

The sailors on the Spanish ship looked at the battery built by the Chinese pirates in the distance, watching their shells fall on it, but they basically did not gnaw at the battery, but the battery began to spit out cannon flames, and then one shell after another fell near their ship.

Experienced sailors immediately realized that these shells were not what they had thought, but shells from the small cannons used by some Chinese pirates, but shells from guns that were more than twelve pounds, and some of the shells were even larger than they thought, and the waves on the surface of the sea were quite large.

According to their experience, it was very rare for the Chinese pirates to have such heavy artillery, let alone fight so far, and they all thought that it was extremely safe to shell the Chinese pirate battery on the island at this distance, and the Chinese pirates could only stare at this distance, and they could not even touch their edges.

There was at least four hundred yards away from the fort, and the tattered guns that the Chinese pirates had in normal times could only hit a distance of one hundred and ten yards, and even if they hit a little farther, they would not exceed the distance of two hundred yards.

Because at this distance, it happens to be the farthest effective range of their naval guns, and the hit rate is very low, they should be a little further forward, so that they can hit more accurately.

However, when they saw the shells coming from the pirates' batteries, they realized how wise Anthony's decision was, because the range of the cannons on the Chinese pirate batteries was not at all closer than their naval guns, and even farther away, and if they were closer, it was estimated that they would have been shot one after another.

Some sailors who were smarter and quicker to react, after seeing this scene, quietly retreated into the cabin and found a safer place to hide, but there were also those who reacted slowly, still standing on the deck stupidly, watching the artillery battle between the two sides.

As a result, before they could understand, a few shells from the Seawolf battery accurately hit their ship.

Five twenty-four-pounder guns were now arranged on the Peace Island battery, and the shells of these cannons were no joke, and by no means as powerful as the shells of the light six-pounder guns, even if the Spanish ships were mostly built of hard wood, but they could not withstand the bombardment of such heavy artillery shells.

The two ships were shot on the side of the ship, and they were immediately disemboweled, and a hole the size of a bathtub was punched in the side of the ship, and the cannonballs penetrated the side of the ship, and smashed into the cabin, and when they boarded, they overturned the cannon in one of the gun compartments, and the fragments of the ship's planks flew in all directions, and some of the gunners and sailors in the cabin fell to a pool of blood when they boarded.

The overturned cannon jumped up and fell down, hitting a gunner, smashing the gunner's waist under the gun.

The hapless gunner's eyes widened in terror, and he let out a terrible scream as he pushed the cannon below his waist.

When the cannon hit him, it instantly smashed all the bones in his pelvis, and the severe pain immediately made the guy let out an inhuman scream, desperately trying to push the cannon that was pressing on him away.

But this cannon weighed at least two or three thousand pounds, how could he push it with his own manpower, this guy screamed miserably, endured severe pain, struggled for a while, fainted in pain, but after a while the sharp pain stimulated him to wake up, and he let out a miserable scream again.

At this time, he had realized that he could not live, the whole waist down was crushed, such an injury even if someone moved the cannon away, he would not survive, feeling a huge and intense pain from the lower half of his body, he stretched out his hand and shouted to the stunned companions next to him: "God! For God's sake, kill me! Please, help, kill me, it hurts! I can't stand it! ……”

One of them could not bear to see this companion of theirs suffer such pain, and saw that the man was completely hopeless, so he drew a sharp knife, walked up to him, made a cross on his forehead and chest, pinpointed the position of his heart, closed his eyes and stabbed it hard.

The wounded sailor snorted, blood immediately gushed out of his mouth, and more blood gushed out of his chest, and he grabbed the wrist of the companion who had sent him on his way, and let out a sound from his mouth, and after a few moments rolled his eyes and swallowed the last breath.

Anthony was also very shocked, he actually had a certain mental preparation, two days ago when he exchanged fire with the sea wolf's ship, he had found that the sea wolf's ship had some relatively good artillery, the shooting accuracy and speed were very fast, and the range was not too close, but most of them were some lighter artillery, and the threat to their fleet was not very great.

So at first he thought that even if the Seawolf had some of their Western-style artillery, it should not be heavy artillery, and the battery was nothing more than some light artillery, which did not pose much of a threat to them, and for the sake of safety, he still ordered the fleet to launch an artillery attack on the battery at a distance of four hundred yards, in order to reduce losses.

But what he didn't expect was that at the beginning of the artillery battle, the batteries of these Chinese pirates launched a fierce counterattack, and the firepower was actually very strong, relying on their strong batteries, the fighting was very fierce, and more importantly, he miscalculated the opponent's firepower.

The Seawolf's batteries were not as light artillery as he thought, and their batteries actually had heavier guns, no worse than the heavy guns in his fleet, and could pose them a sufficient threat, which greatly surprised them all.
