There were many fragments of small boats floating on the shore of Peace Island, as well as the corpses of some people, and the water on the shore was almost all stained red.

The Spanish soldiers, who had not yet landed, were subjected to an unusually fierce artillery attack as soon as they approached the shore, and the Sea Wolves' batteries concentrated their fire and bombarded them with grapeshotfire, and three boats were hit by grapeshotfire on the spot, two of which were directly hit by a bunch of grapeshot, and were disintegrated in the sea on the spot.

The Spanish soldiers and sailors on board were beaten in pieces under the grapeshell, and many of them were dismembered on the spot, and the minced meat flew and sank into the water with the dinghy.

The rest of the dinghy also suffered some losses, being hit by individual scattered grapeshot shells, but the losses of the ships were not very large, but the losses of the people on board were not small.

Before they landed, more than 30 Spanish soldiers and sailors had lost their lives in the sea, at least in the sea.

The rest of the Spaniards were terrified, and although they knew that they would be shelled by the enemy before they landed, when the shells fell on their heads, they still found that the sea wolf's cannons had hit them so hard that the whole sea was like a big hailstorm, and their eyes were full of the splashes caused by the shells.

Some of the Spanish soldiers kept making crosses on their chests, chanting God bless, but God did not know what was going on at this time, and did not hear their prayers at all, so that one after another Spaniards stained the sea with blood.

Finally, they sailed the boat to the shore, but the terrain on the shore here is complicated, which is not conducive to landing on the beach.

The dinghy immediately became the focus of the seawolf cannon, and several grapeshells came in succession, hitting the dinghy with thousands of holes, and the people on board were almost slaughtered en masse, and the remaining people who were still alive jumped into the sea like crazy and swam desperately to the shore.

The men were lucky enough to get ashore, only to find that the muskets they were carrying had either been lost in the sea or left on board, and even if they were brought ashore, the ropes were soaked and the gunpowder was gone, and they could no longer be used.

About 100 Spanish soldiers were lucky enough to get to the shore, but they were crushed under the reef by grapeshells and shotguns fired from artillery.

The Seawolf Fort didn't care about the Spanish ships on the sea at this time, and concentrated its fire on the Spanish soldiers who tried to attack the battery, and kept firing at their landing site, first smashing the small boats leaning against the sea with grapegre, and then switched to bombarding the Spanish soldiers who landed on the shore with scattered bullets.

Originally, according to the requirements of their commander, after these Spanish soldiers landed, they had to get close to the battery as soon as possible and hide in the dead end of the cannons, but the cannon fire in the Henai Seawolf battery was too fierce, and they were shelling them almost continuously.

The number of shots loaded with heavy artillery is very terrifying, and the 24-pounder cannon can generally be loaded with hundreds of small projectiles at one time, and a cannon is a large area, as powerful as a big iron broom, and every time the cannon goes down, the shore is like a heavy rainstorm, and the reef fragments on the shore are flying wildly.

Several Spanish soldiers who had been ordered to stand up and try to attack had just gotten up and stumbled forward before they were hit by a scattershot.

Some of them were blown into slag on the spot, and it was impossible to put their corpses together, and some of them were hit upside down by scattered bullets, and they fell heavily on the reef, killing them at once.

As a result, after the landing, the Spanish soldiers were pinned down on the shore, almost unable to move an inch, some kept praying that God would bless them, and some cursed loudly, scolding the damned Anthony, and sent them to this hellish place.

The commander was also frightened to death at this moment, and tried several times to lead his troops out of this dead place, but they were beaten down as soon as they showed their heads, and when they turned their heads, they were almost about to cry, and the boats that carried them were now stopped on the shore and became live targets, and the sea wolves could not see them alive, so they fired at these boats.

Several small boats were constantly trembling under the fire of the sea wolf, and all of them were riddled with holes, and the sailors left on the ship were also killed and wounded, so they quickly jumped off the boat and found a reef to hide, which saved their lives, but they wanted to go back, unless they captured this battery, otherwise, even if their commander Anthony wanted to save them, there was no small boat, and he did not dare to drive the big ship directly over, and arrived on the shore and was exposed to the muzzle of the enemy's artillery.

As soon as these Spaniards came ashore, they were forced to come to a wrecked boat, fighting against the water, which could make them miserable, with rain-like cannonballs in front of them, constantly falling towards them, and behind them was the vast sea, and there was really no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground.

The commander of the Spanish infantry saw that he was so suppressed on the beachhead, and that he had no future except to wait for death, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet, draw his command knife, and shout for the soldiers to find a reef for cover, and take advantage of the artillery fire of the battery to advance forward, and get out of this dead place as soon as possible, at least run to the place where the artillery could not bombard them.

The soldiers also understood that there was no future in staying here, so they had no choice but to tremble and begin to jump back and forth between the reefs under his orders, taking advantage of the gap between the fire of the fort cannons, and moving towards the fort.

Fortunately, the strange rocks on the shore of Heping Island were not an unobstructed open field, which provided the Spaniards with some cover for friendship, and under their slow advance, they finally entered the dead end of the battery's cannons.

At this time, Anthony was also nervously paying attention to the situation of these landing soldiers, seeing this scene on the shore, he was naturally in a mood at this time, how sad and sad he was, he didn't bring many soldiers, sent a third of the soldiers, and lost dozens of them at once, and also lost a lot of boats carried with the boat, making it difficult for him to organize a landing operation.

And he also saw that these soldiers he sent were crushed on the shore by the fire of the Seawolf Battery, almost unable to move an inch, so he could only order the fleet to desperately fire at the Heping Island Battery, bombarding the battery to suppress their firepower and provide cover for these soldiers.

The turrets were splashed with gray stones by the Spanish cannons, but with their solid structure, they remained immovable until the Spaniards broke through to the dead end of the cannons, and then they stopped suppressing their artillery fire, turned the cannons to the muzzles, and pointed at the Spanish ships on the sea, and fired at them.

Some of the soldiers left the artillery emplacement, grabbed their flintlock guns, ran to the small firing holes around the fort, and poked the flintlock pistols out of the firing holes and aimed them at the open ground outside the fort.

The Spanish infantry finally ran to the dead end of the cannon, but immediately entered the range of the musket fire of the sea wolf soldiers, and within a few dozen meters of the battery, the reef began to become sparse, and the terrain became much more open, so that the Spanish soldiers also lost effective cover.

The Spanish soldiers at first tried to assemble and attack the battery, but as soon as they left the covering reef and had not yet assembled under the command of the commander, they were subjected to a volley of muskets, and several more soldiers were knocked to the ground by the muskets.

Only then did they realize that these pirates not only had fierce cannons, but also had so many sharp muskets, no wonder the Spaniards offered the merchant ships of the sea wolves who traded in Manila that they could sell them some arquebuses, and these sea wolves refused on the spot, it turned out that they already had a lot of such muskets.

This was a complete disadvantage to the Spanish soldiers who had landed, and their assembly was immediately dispersed, and they hid back in the reefs, no longer daring to attack in formation outside.

The Spanish infantry commander tried to rally his men several times, but without exception was knocked back behind the reef by the sea wolf's musket volley, and this time he was completely blinded.

When they went ashore, they did not even carry a small cannon, only some gunpowder and muskets with the ship, these light firepower could not gnaw at this fort at all, and there were so many arquebuses in the fort that blocked their way forward.

As for the seizure of this fort, after he observed it, he immediately dismissed this idea.

This fort is indeed a fortress structure, very well built, the open door is also on the side, there are dense perforations blocking the gate, there are not enough troops to get close to the gate, let alone blow up the gate with gunpowder and rush into the fort.

They were almost crying at this point, and they didn't know what to do, but all in all, this time they kicked the iron plate completely!

The commander watched as the clock ticked by, and if they couldn't take the fort in the afternoon, it would be impossible to evacuate the place.

So he could only bite the bullet again, force the soldiers to assemble, and attack tentatively, if it really didn't work, then he could only give up and wait for Anthony to send a ship to rescue them.

These Spanish soldiers had no choice but to assemble again, but as soon as they showed their heads, they were hit by a volley of guns, and a few guys were killed in front of everyone, but under the order of the commander, they did not dare to retract this time, and still forcibly assembled, but they did not dare to discharge too dense formation, and the provincial ones were cut to the ground like rice cut by others.

But this time, they had just finished assembling and had not had time to attack the battery, when another musket rang out from the battery.
