Chapter 111: Sniper

After listening to Sun Baoqiang's words, Feng Twelve hurriedly straightened his legs together, raised his right hand and forcibly gave Sun Bao a military salute, and shouted: "Obey!" Commander Sun reprimanded him very much! It's the stupidity of the subordinates! ”

Turning his head, he immediately yelled at the busy gunners of the fort: "Stop firing the cannons, stop firing the cannons!" It's all clear to Lao Tzu, now it's all for Lao Tzu to aim at the ship in front of him, and concentrate his firepower to hit that boat first! No one is allowed to fire at will, only to hit the boat for Lao Tzu! Dry it out first, and then talk about the rest! Did you hear it all? ”

Some of the gunners didn't understand, their ears had been shaken a little deaf at this moment, and they were stupidly stunned, so Feng Twelve was angry and scurrying around in the fort, like a mad dog, once again raising his ears and informing each gunner of his request.

At this time, the artillery commanders all understood what Feng Twelve wanted them to do, and hurriedly lay down at the gun door to find the target that Feng Twelve had assigned to them, and soon locked their eyes on the Spaniard warship closest to them.

This ship was not actually a warship, but an armed merchant ship of the Spaniards who had been temporarily conscripted, this ship had a displacement of about 400 tons, and it was also a Galen ship, which was equipped with fifteen guns, and it was not the main warship of the Spaniards.

But today he was assigned by Anthony to the position of the head, close to the island of peace to carry out a direct artillery operation on the island of peace.

At this moment, the Spanish sailors on the ship were busy with their work, constantly shouting and shouting to reload the guns, and then dodge the ignition cannons with a strange scream.

And they didn't know what to do, at this moment they had been locked by the gun commanders in the battery as the only target, and the cannons in the battery were slowly moved in the shouts of the gun commanders, and the muzzles of the guns slowly pointed to the ship.

The muzzle of the black hole moved slowly, and the commanders of the guns took aim personally, and the battery fell into silence for a while, and only the rumbling sound of the cannon coming from the sea could be heard, and the roar and vibration of the shells falling on the battery.

"Fire!" When he saw that all the cannons had finished aiming and were ready to fire, Feng Twelve suddenly yelled hysterically.

"Fire...... "A series ......of shouts of artillery commanders rang out one after another from the battery.

I heard a series of earth-shaking cannon sounds immediately after the inside of the fort, and the guns shook violently and then retreated, and the gun smoke was once again filled in the fort, choking many people coughed loudly.

Sun Baoqiang didn't care about the choking gunsmoke, rubbed his eyes that were choking on the gunsmoke, and hurriedly lay down at the observation window and looked towards the sea.

I saw that the sea surface of the enemy ship they had selected was suddenly like an open pot, and one after another cannonballs flew over one after another, smashing around the ship, and some shells accurately hit the ship directly, and the enemy ship that hit raised pieces of broken wood, and even he faintly saw through the smoke of gunpowder that a cannon on that ship was beaten and jumped up, and it fell on the deck with a bang, and many Spanish sailors on the deck were holding their heads on the ship.

At this time, Sun Baoqiang became happy, laughed wildly and shouted to Feng Twelve: "Okay! Just hit it like that! Beat these foreign kings to death! Next, let's beat him to Lao Tzu! ”

A series of cannon sounds shook Feng Tshi's ears to the ground, and he couldn't hear the sound clearly for a long time, he could only see Sun Baoqiang's dusty face, showing a grinning expression, but he couldn't hear what he was calling again.

However, Feng Twelve could guess what Sun Baoqiang was talking about, so he nodded and barked like a mad dog again: "Just fight like this!" Sink this boat for Lao Tzu! ”

The Heping Island Fort suddenly changed its tactics, and the other ships were much better, but the ship that was the target was unlucky.

All the cannons on the fort on Heping Island were firmly locked at this moment, and the sound of cannons continued to sound, and the cannonballs flew towards them one after another, and the waves around their ships kept rising, and some of the cannonballs even landed not far from the side of their ships, and the stirred up sea water even splashed directly on the ship, pouring the sailors on the deck like chickens.

The captain of this ship, standing on the stern, is in a state of mind at this time, as bad as he wants, how can he be so unlucky, but he was targeted by this group of damn Chinese pirates, and became their target, this ship is his personal property, and this time he was recruited by the governor of Manila.

Although he participated in such an operation, if his ship was damaged or his crew was killed or wounded, the governor would give him some compensation, and he would not be allowed to pay a lot of money, but he did not want his ship to be disabled or sunk like this, because even if his ship was sunk, the governor would not play hooligans and give him compensation according to the price, but he could only return to Spain and order a new ship.

And the period of ordering a new ship, there is no one to compensate him, which will delay a long time to do business, and time is money, this truth is now very clear to the Spaniards, a brig like him, running at sea for a year, back and forth to transport goods and personnel, can earn a lot of money, if a year does a good job, at least can earn a new ship profits, maybe even more.

Even at worst, two years at sea is enough for them to make a profit from building a new ship, and the construction of a new ship will take at least two years from the time he returns to Spain by boat, to the time he places the order, the schedule of the ship, and the delivery of the ship at the very least, and in these two years, he has no way to earn another silver coin.

And after the new ship is built, he has to re-recruit sailors, which will take a long time, and now the sailors are not very easy to recruit, even if they are recruited, the sailors are not familiar with each other, and they cannot sail away immediately, and they must first carry out a period of adaptive training, not to mention that there are many scum among the sailors recruited now, which is not easy to control, and there are often sailors who disobey the captain's orders during the voyage, and even start a riot, kill the captain or throw the captain and first mate on a deserted island and leave him to fend for himself.

So when the ship was locked by the Seawolf battery, the captain was both panicked and depressed, and quickly ordered the ship to maneuver to avoid the shells.

But even after the ship moved, it could not escape the fate of concentrated fire, and in a short time the ship was hit by several shells, and large holes appeared in the hull, and several sailors on board were killed, forcing them to quickly retreat and open up the distance between them and the battery.

But as they turned around and retreated, they were stared at by a sea wolf's musketeer on the battery.

A musketeer, armed with a flintlock pistol that did not look unusual, poked out a hole in the muzzle of the gun, through which he carefully observed the situation on the sea.

At this time, the Spanish ships were about 200 to 300 meters away from the battery, and under normal circumstances, at such a distance, only cannons could be obtained, and no one would think of shooting at the enemy with muskets.

But the musketeer of the sea wolf, still holding a flintlock pistol, lay on the perforation and carefully searched for his target, constantly adjusting the direction of the musket slightly by shining at the door and the crosshair.

Hearing only a thud, the gunman's body shook slightly, and the recoil generated by the flintlock shot transmitted the power to his shoulder, causing his body to shake slightly.

After taking a closer look, he shook his head slightly in disappointment and sighed, but immediately began to reload again.

Sun Baoqiang and Feng Twelve's orders he also heard, at this time he also locked his attention on the enemy ship that was attacked by concentrated fire, searching for targets on the ship, there were some dry silk sailors on the ship running back and forth on the deck, I don't know what the road is busy with, for these moving targets, he is not sure that he can hit accurately, what he wants to find is a relatively stable target, to use as his sniper target, and finally a figure standing on the stern tower fell into his eyes.

He immediately began to adjust the muzzle of the gun, slowly raising it too high, and locked on to the man's figure with the door and the crosshair.

He took a deep breath to adjust his emotions, then slightly adjusted various parts of his body to put his body in a very comfortable position, and then calmly locked on to the target with the flintlock pistol in his hand.

Then he gently pulled the trigger, until the trigger moved backwards to the state of being about to fire, the whole person seemed to be integrated with the gun, at this time almost in his own unconscious state, the trigger of the musket was finally pulled to the firing state, the flintlock was slammed again, the muzzle of the gun spit out a ball of flame, and then a cloud of gunpowder smoke rose up, blocking his vision.

Black powder is very annoying, whether it is a cannon or a musket, when firing, even if the quality of gunpowder is good, it will raise a cloud of gunsmoke, but the color is different, the better the quality of gunpowder, the lighter the color of gunpowder, and vice versa, the thicker the gunpowder, the less sufficient the gunpowder burning.

Shooters often shoot or after firing, because of the problem of gunsmoke, can not see the effect of their shooting, when the platoon gun fires, it is a concentrated fire, but the impact is not too big, after all, relying on intensive shooting, there will always be some bullets that can hit some targets.

However, when shooting alone, this problem is very annoying, and the shooter often cannot observe the shooting effect in the first place, and must wait for the smoke to clear before observing the shooting situation.

(This cold is really difficult, it is a fever and a cough, and the lungs are about to cough out!) In the afternoon, we will continue to deliver water! Unlucky! It's going bankrupt! )
