The other Spanish ships accompanying them, after seeing Antony's flagship start firing, also immediately began to fire at the Seawolf's battery amid the captain's shouting.

The entire Spanish fleet carried more than 150 guns of various types, of which more than 100 were more powerful guns.

It was like rain, and it slammed into several of the Seawolf's batteries, and some of the Spanish sailors ran to the deck to watch the bombardment, as they didn't need anything for the time being.

In their eyes, they have so many cannons, and hitting a Chinese pirate's lair is not a big deal at all, they only need to beat these dirty Chinese pirates with a bang, and they will naturally know that they are powerful.

Not many Spaniards took these sea wolves seriously, and few realized that they might be met with a strong counterattack.

At this time, in the Heping Island Fort, there was a detachment and more than 100 villagers from Keelung Fort, and the leader of the team was named Feng Twelve, who was less than thirty years old, and was the earliest member of the Seawolf War Battalion, and also the earliest group of leaders who were promoted from ordinary soldiers.

Feng Twelve was not satisfied with his current position, since they were transferred to Jilong Bay, they had missed several opportunities to make meritorious contributions, neither catching up with the battle with Chu Cailao, nor catching up with the attack on land.

In his opinion, if it weren't for the fact that they were transferred here to garrison, with his ability, he would have at least been a squadron leader at this time, and here in Jilong Bay, they basically didn't encounter any enemies, so they could only find trouble with the local natives in normal times, occasionally run a little farther away to hunt, or pack up some small bands of pirates or pirates who fled to the vicinity of Jilong Bay.

This will affect his promotion, you must know that every time the sea wolf is promoted, the treatment will be improved a lot, the squadron leader will get a lot more money than the captain of the detachment for a month, and after reaching the level of the detachment leader, they will also be assigned a maid, who can be a wife, a concubine, and a maid in the room, and more importantly, it is equivalent to entering the intermediate leader sequence of the sea wolf, and has a very high status among the sea wolves.

He has always been very dissatisfied with this, and several times he wanted to propose to be transferred back to Nanri Island, but he was all sent back, and let him stay honestly in Jilong Bay, take his subordinates here, and especially practice his artillery skills.

Meng Grimace and Li Dazui had both come to the Jilongwan Inspection School to guard the subordinates stationed here, and they took special care of Feng Twelve, and they had to serve the cannon well, but they didn't allow him to leave here.

Feng Twelve was full of complaints about this, and could only vent it on his subordinates, who were full of energy all day long and couldn't vent, so he took these soldiers to practice every day, especially the operation of the artillery on the battery.

The last time Yu Xiaotian came here, he personally checked the effect of their training, and went to the fort to check the maintenance of the fort's weapons, and specially praised Feng Twelve for a few words, which made Feng Twelve proud for a while.

When the Spaniards came this time, Feng Twelve realized that his opportunity for meritorious promotion had finally come, and this time the enemy they had to face was not a peer like them, nor an officer or army similar to Hanako, but a fleet of real dry silk people, and it was by no means an ordinary opponent.

These dry silk people want them to give up Chicken Coop Bay, it is obvious that this is impossible, even if the black head agrees, he will not agree, they have been here for more than two years, how much sweat they have paid here, it is impossible to give this place to others again.

So in the end it must be resolved by force, and the fact that these damned Dry Wax men had blocked their bay two days earlier, and had sunk one of their ships, had already shown that there was no room for negotiation between the two sides, and that there would be a big fight going on.

And Feng Twelve looks down on the sailors stationed here, usually these guys look very proud, but at most, they can only fish nearby, expel and hunt down some small pirate ships, majestic!

Now, when faced with the fleet of these dry wax people, these sailors suddenly withered, and when they went out to take a picture, they were sunk by the others, and they were blocked in the chicken coop bay.

And at this time, before their boss Da Xiaotian led reinforcements here, he couldn't count on these sailors, and it still depended on their group of soldiers.

Therefore, in the past two days, Feng Twelve was in the fort, strictly ordered his subordinates to prepare for battle, wipe the artillery shiny, and wait for these dry wax people to come and attack.

Early this morning, he used a telescope to observe that the ships of these Ganlasi people were approaching the bay, and adjusted the formation, aiming the side of the ship at their fort, and after a while, he saw that they opened the gun door on the side of the ship, Feng Twelve gave an order, and the soldiers and villagers stationed in the fort rushed to the battle position.

Round shells were raised to the upper gun positions, and there were people guarding the mouth of the ammunition lift, lifting the kits from the lower ammunition depot to the gun emplacements, and ready to continue to supply the cannons.

According to their combat regulations, the sea wolf will not be like his peers, foolishly put the powder keg next to the cannon in wartime, which is similar to looking for death, even if it is not hit by the enemy and exploded, it is possible to detonate the gunpowder itself in the chaos.

Therefore, whether the sea wolf is on the ship or on the battery, in wartime, it is required that only the shells be placed at the gun position, and this thing will not explode, but the packaged fixed charge package must be left in the lower solid ammunition magazine, and the gun can be loaded at any time with the gun position to avoid accidental explosions.

A cannon on the turret was loaded by the gunners at this time, and in the shouting of the gunners, the townsmen who cooperated with them shouted the horn and pushed the gun carriage to the gun door, the muzzle of the gun pointed to the sea, and the gunners stepped forward to operate the cannon to aim.

According to the order of the black head, the Seawolf batteries must not open fire without permission, and the enemy ships must be put into effective range, as close as possible before fighting, and let the Spaniards fire first, and then counterattack.

This is not to do anything bullshit not to fire the first shot and stand on the moral high ground, but the black head does not want the Spaniards to see the situation of the fire on their batteries before the battle, and wants to inflict as much damage as possible on the Spaniards in the initial artillery battle.

So Feng Twelve could only lead his men in the strong fort, watching the Spaniards set up a battle formation on the sea, ready for the shelling.

When the first flame rose on the Spaniard's warship, Feng Twelve was so nervous and excited that he almost changed the tone of his roar, and shouted in the turret: "Aim and hit Lao Tzu!" ”

Before he could finish his words, the first Spanish shells flew over their heads and landed on and around the batteries.

Some of the soldiers and villagers stationed in the fort have never encountered such a fierce artillery attack, especially those who have temporarily organized the villagers, when have they seen such a formation! One by one, they were so frightened that their faces were pale, and even trembling, and there were even people who were so frightened that their legs were weak, and when they felt that a shell hit the fort, making the fort tremble, they fell to the ground on the spot, and they were so frightened that they cried and cried for their mother.

"Shut up the fuck to Lao Tzu, if anyone calls his mother's father and mother, he is confusing the army's heart, be careful that Lao Tzu cuts off his head! Rest assured, this fort is strong! Their shells can't destroy our batteries at all! Seeing that some of his subordinates and some of these villagers were so frightened that they wanted to pee their pants, Feng Twelve angrily jumped to his feet and scolded.

The first round of shelling by the Spaniards was mainly concentrated on the batteries on the island of peace, but their accuracy was not very high, even if their gunners were well trained, it was not possible for them to make the first hit and destroy the target in the first round in this era.

Dozens of shells fell on Heping Island, only a few shells hit the fort, the rest of the shells were scattered all over the island, and even some shells fell ridiculously far into the sea, and naturally some shells flew over the fort and fell into the bay.

Even if a few shells hit the fort, but at most it made the fort shake a few times, and some dust fell on the top of the head, this fort is built of large stones, the fort is very strong, it is impossible to penetrate or destroy the wall of the fort, the shells on the wall of the fort at most are to break some gravel, and the shells do not know where the shells fly to the ground.

When the shaking was over, everyone in the fort checked their situation, and the inside of the fort was intact, no one was injured, and there were no traces of cracks on the walls and roof of the fort, so they were all relieved and realized that as long as they stayed in the fort, they were safer, so the villagers were completely quiet.

As for those soldiers, they are usually trained every day, although they were nervous at first, but after all, they were used to hearing the sound of artillery, so they quickly calmed down and began their counterattack.

I saw a twenty-four-pounder cannon suddenly vibrate violently, and quickly retreated backwards, until it was dragged by the thick cable that pulled it, and the inside of the fort was suddenly filled with a spicy and pungent smell of gunsmoke, and the huge sound of the cannon shook the ears of many people in the fort, and they felt a little dizzy for a long time.
