The Purple Water drove slowly, like an old wolf patrolling the flock.

The thirty-seven gunners on it quickly readjusted their muzzles and pointed them directly at the four battleships.

The gun commander of the first gun position was the first to find out about the situation, and there were actually some sailors on one battleship who were adjusting the guns on the deck, and another had two gun windows open. He blew a loud slogan at the commander of the second gun position, and waved his hand at the four battleships. According to the regulations, there is no need to ask for advice in this case.

"Target Battleship, FIRE!"

Hearing the gunner's order, the gunner pouted while chewing gum, saying that Yangwen is very cool?

He pulled the trigger on the ship that was adjusting its guns, aiming for its waterline. missed, only hitting a wave about three meters high in front of the battleship.

The gunner hurriedly pulled the bolt, and when it was long, the shell casings fell on the deck. The gunner's assistant, immediately loaded another one. The gunner thought that in the past, he used to use magazines to fire 37 guns, and he was really impatient to load them one by one like this. Save shells, isn't it labor-intensive?

Thinking about the mess in his heart, his eyes are more seriously aiming. His gun emplacements missed the first shot, but the other gun emplacements hit the battleship that opened the gun window, and the hull of the ship burst into white and red fireworks. This upset him.

More than forty shells were fired, and the four so-called battleships were no longer formed.

The commander of the first gun position snorted and said: "The bravery of the enemy makes our victory even more proud." ”

As the Purple Water continued to approach, the merchant ships anchored on the shore kept having sailors screaming and jumping onto the shore and running away.

Captain Fang Ming said with a smile: "It's really nostalgic! ”

Wu Jianqiang didn't understand: "What do you miss? ”

"When the fishery master went to our place to catch the black boat, we were a little bit like this."

"Then you don't want your boat?"

"If you can't catch someone, you can't pay a fine, and you can't tow the boat away. Even if it is towed away, you can find someone to come back. He said that he was preparing to apply for a certificate. ”

"There's a way."

"For life. By the way, do you say that I want to work in the fishery administration industry in the future? I promise not to bully my own fishermen, and I promise to only be external. ”

"Why not! Dapeng said that sooner or later, let us all find our place. ”

"Boom!" A loud bang interrupted their thoughts. It's broken, it's been shot!

There was jubilation in the middle cabin of the clipper. Both Harper and Selwin knew that their 24-pounder gun could shoot through a five-foot-thick plank at 100 meters, and even the British Sea King couldn't stand such a shot! Three hundred meters away is a little far, but it can also seriously injure the opponent. God forbid, so lucky.

Hurry up, do it again! A couple of sailors were busy again.

Harper and Selwyn waited for the smoke to clear, and approached the window to observe:

Oh my God, the hull was just a big chunk black. And the sound just now indicates that the shell hit, but only hit something very hard!

The two looked at each other, and only the steel hull was not afraid of this cannon. The two of them suddenly had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

"Where did you get the cannon?!" Wu Jianqiang reprimanded angrily, the four so-called battleships were wiped out in front of him, where else are there cannons?!

The artillery on the deck soon discovered that a Dutch merchant ship hiding in the flotilla had opened its gun window, and white smoke was coming out, and it was it!

The 37 gunner quickly turned the rocker arm, and the slender barrel characteristic of the 37 gun was aimed at the Dutch merchant ship. With a quick shot, the shells swept past the merchant ships and flew towards the docks, exploding with a bang. At this time, the crowd on the dock had run out and no injuries were caused.

Harper and Selwin panicked when they saw the ship's pipe firing a shot at the Clippers. At this time, the sailors were still reloading. Harper immediately rushed over to help push the gun cart, and Selwin, with his years of experience in wandering, immediately exited the gun bay and ran to the deck as fast as he could.

It was still a little late, and the second 37 cannon shot decisively into the two-foot-thick hull and exploded, although there was still some distance from the gun window, but because it was an implosion, the flying wood chips and sound waves everywhere either stabbed and knocked down the people inside, and suddenly the screams rang out.

The third shell hit the side of the gun window, detonating the projectile charge, and the projectile that flew in all directions detonated the gunpowder from nowhere, and the entire Dutch merchant ship of more than 400 tons burst like a watermelon hit by a bullet. Its long mast overwhelmed the mast of a nearby Chinese ship of fortune.

Selwyn on the deck flew out as if he could fly.

Kong Mingliang put down the bazooka he was carrying on his shoulder and did not launch it. I thought to myself, if there are still living people in here, hell will it be. He saw Wu Jianqiang lying on the side of the ship in annoyance, looking at the place where he had been hit. He also tilted his head to look at it, and it was fine, just a gravure mark.

"It's a permanent injury, right?" Wu Jianqiang said hatefully.

Captain Fang Ming said: "If you don't use the paint we brought, it's counted." But it's nothing compared to the harvest! ”

Fang Ming glanced at the merchant ships in front of him, like looking at a fat sheep. I don't know what's in there.

"Guess what's in that merchant ship?" On the heart of the ocean, Li Ziqiang said to Wu Dapeng.

None of the five people cared about the fact that the Zishui was shot just now, what if it was pierced? Just don't hurt anyone.

"Everything is ours......" Wu Dapeng kept watching as the two landing teams slowly advanced towards the gate of Geranza. They consciously moved forward with the help of the cover of the four wheels, and exclaimed, "Yes, just slowly press closer, and leave those who run away." ”

The telescope clearly saw that most of the people who fled in all directions bypassed the city of Geranza and ran in the direction of Chichi, and some fled into the city.

The two landing parties slowly approached the gate of Geranza, carefully keeping a certain distance from the third fort battery.

There are three gates of Geranza, usually only the main gate is opened, and the other two smaller ones are generally not opened. The two teams converged at the main gate.

E Yuxi picked up the telescope and observed the situation of the third layer of the fortress, and according to the displacement mark on the lens, he calculated in his heart that it should be about 1,200 meters. He discussed with Sun Yu, the leader of the second squad, and decided on the division of labor, and the artillery crews of the two squads began to frame mortar positions again.

All what was happening on the battlefield, Governor Oward on the third level of the fortress, could see it equally clearly. His heart was cold. He saw the little white boat that the sailors had reported to him before, and it was indeed as they had described. He blamed someone else.

At the moment of his tenure, when he could have reached the pinnacle of his life, he suffered a shameful fiasco. He watched as the four convoy warships were reduced to pieces, as he watched as some brave sailor fired at the strange ship, hitting it to no avail, only to bring destruction to himself, and watching as more than a hundred soldiers under the city blocked them, and his own artillery could not reach them.

His long, beautiful and shiny hair now fell limply, sweat and dust making it dirty.

When he saw them slowly pushing forward and starting to plant those little cannons again, he knew it was bad. But damn Harper couldn't find anyone.

Governor Oward calmed his emotions and ordered in an encouraging tone: "Dear soldiers, gentlemen, we cannot sit idly by. We must rush out and disperse them, we can't hold it. ”

The soldiers had been staring at the strange group of people for a long time. They had black helmets, fancy clothes, big black eyes, and even more terrifying was that their mouths seemed to be moving, as if they were chanting incantations. Everyone can see the ending of the previous forts very clearly, and if they hold it, they can only be beaten.

"There must be a reason why they don't dare to come near us!"

"Yes, rush over and kill them!"

"Let's go, we can't wait here to die!"

The psychology of the crowd worked at all times, and as soon as they descended to the first level of the fortress, the enemy's small cannons were fired, and with the same result, all the batteries with artillery were hit by the kind of blows that made strange noises and exploded when they landed. This time, however, the casualties among the soldiers were not significant.

The vice-captain was automatically promoted to captain, and he organized the unwounded soldiers and the staff who had volunteered to form a line inside the gate.

There were only about 500 people in total. There were more than 300 musketeers, and 200 halberds. This ratio was much greater than the usual seven to one, and there was no way, the sudden shelling of the enemy caused significant damage to their musketeers. Ordinary staff are only suitable for using halberds.

Two landing craft took all the militia involved in the support from the Purple Water. They were mainly helping to defend the residential areas in the southwest, where there were hundreds of dwellings, and through the analysis of video and historical sources, they should have been the settlement of some ship repairers, masons, fishermen, and maybe even low-ranking staff.

Due to the frontal oppressive attack, the crossing crowd became extra well manned, and the hopes of several directors to participate in the battle themselves were dashed, but their seven consecutive rounds were requisitioned.

The militiamen, dressed in orange life jackets, carefully and carefully descended to the landing craft through the net ropes.

Governor Oward also descended to the first level of the fortress early at the beginning of the shelling. When he saw through the monoculars that enemy reinforcements were about to arrive, he hurriedly ordered a quick attack. Strive to crush the enemy before they can come back.

The line of the mixed team is lined up. After exiting the gate, there are five teams, the first three rows are musketeers, and the last two rows are halberders. The trombone blew again, and the snare drummer beat the snare drum.

The mixed army strode out of the city gates.

When E Yuxi saw that the Dutch had finally walked out of the city gates, he immediately ordered that the loudspeaker attached to the four-wheeled vehicle broadcast the same announcement as on the Purple Water.

Wu Jianqiang ordered E Yuxi on the Zishui and said, "I saw that the first three rows of them were musketeers, and the arquebuses were still burning. ”

"It's okay, there are still 500 meters away, didn't the film say that they walked at least 50 meters before shooting!"

"We can't take any chances. Walk up to 150 meters and start shooting! ”

E Yuxi said in his heart, isn't it a hundred meters? After being hit by a shot, my courage became smaller.

But his mouth promised neatly: "Yes! Obey commands. ”

E Yuxi turned back to the team members and said, "Line up the skirmishers, and the pursuit must not exceed 300 meters!" Who's that, throw away the cigarette, this is the battlefield! The four-wheeled vehicle is pressed on at the right time, pay attention to protect the soldiers! ”
