Chapter 16: Nabalon's Offensive and Defensive Battle III
Jonathan had been in front-line command in the Southern Battery Sector, and now there was very little he could do, and finally a battery on his side was hit, and one battery lost soldiers. The pirates' shells are mediocre, but the explosion in the gun chamber is still quite lethal, but the fortress cannon is relatively intact, but it lacks operators.
Luo Yi watched the soldier moaning in pain push past him, his body trembled unconsciously, waiting was the most terrible, in order to feel at ease, he opened a weapon box, and then took out a musket and held it in his hand.
Bigfoot Binny looked at the pirate ships that were constantly being destroyed on his side and looked expressionless, and waved his hand to call over to a younger brother, "How much ammunition is left?" ”
"Captain, ammunition is running out, we've been fighting all morning, and now we're running out of ammunition."
"Well, did the guys who fell overboard get into the boat?" Binny continued.
It turned out that after the pirate ship turned, some of the smaller pirate ships were blocked behind, and they lowered a lot of small boats to catch up the pirates who had fallen into the water, and then some pirates climbed off the battleship and then got on the small boats as well.
"It's done."
"Okay, give the order, all the battleships will shoot all the remaining shells at the lower batteries of the fortress, try to destroy a few more, and then all turn and rush over." The pirates are not brainless, warships and fortresses shoot at each other, especially pirates like them, who are usually squeezed into a small area, and there is not much ammunition left.
And Commander Jonathan had foreseen this, "Almost, their ammunition can't last long, so what's next?" ”
The pirates began to pour ammunition for the last time, all concentrated on the lower batteries, which was the greatest threat to them, Jonathan hurriedly looked through the binoculars, but the pirates' shelling produced a lot of gunsmoke, and he couldn't see the situation clearly.
"Ordered the musket unit to prepare to enter the lower battery, and they began to concentrate fire on the lower battery, which was to prepare for approaching the fortress."
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." One of the captains beside him was ordered to leave.
Luo Yi was holding the musket and waiting, and then there was a vibration in the lower area, and a large amount of gunpowder smoke began to rise, "This is?" ”
There was another sound of footsteps, and the soldiers of the brigade passed, "Hurry up, go to the lower area, check the wounded first, and then prepare for battle." ”
"The lower level, yes, if you want to pass through here, you must have a lower battery, but it is very easy to block it there, and if you don't block it, you can only use a large number of soldiers to defend it, my battlefield is there!" Luo Yi thought of this, and did not act immediately, after all, it was the regular navy that was in motion now, and he was a miscellaneous soldier, so he could only wait until the end, maybe until the nurses transported the wounded.
Sure enough, the nurses came quickly, and the people from the maintenance department worked together to get a large number of wounded to the hospital, and now the pirates are still storming the lower level, but several pirate ships have stopped shelling and are starting to turn again, and they are about to storm the fortress beach again.
Luo Yi didn't wait long, the speed of the soldiers was very fast, and the transfer of the wounded was completed, but there were also a few lower batteries that were still firing, and it seemed that the damage was very great, so he pushed his cart and ran towards the lower level.
A large number of soldiers with muskets in their hands were waiting at the door of the damaged gun room, now was not the right time to enter, and Luo Yi's arrival did not attract their attention.
"Your Excellency, I have found a large number of small boats on the left side of the sea, and they are using human oars, rapidly approaching the beach." A soldier enters Jonathan's front-line command room.
"Well, I saw it, and ordered the musket unit to split up in half, rely on a layer of batteries to block the attack, and then open fire when they land." Jonathan remained composed.
"Yes."
Bigfoot Binnie was still standing at the bow of the ship, and his pirate ship was starting to turn, and the pirates had run out of ammunition before rushing over. And after the area of the bottom battery in the south of the Nabalon Fortress was set on fire, there were not many remaining batteries, and they were still firing, but the blockade was much lowered.
Jonathan's musket unit is here to rescue the wounded and then break the flames, which will be their bunker. The treadmill on the ground is about three meters above the ground, and pirates can easily jump on it at this height, or of course, they can also explode and block it directly.
However, Jonathan also has his own plans, so naturally he will not do this, and now it depends on whether the soldiers can withstand it.
The fleet of thirty-five pirate ships, there are thousands of pirates on it, although some have been killed and some have disappeared after falling into the water, but there are still many left, and the dense boats on the sea are charging forward, and the pirates are rowing their oars hard.
The number of artillery in the lower layer is insufficient, and the area covered by the shelling is not large, but the middle and upper layers are still firing, but the hit rate is beginning to decrease a lot, after all, the lower layer is the main force of offshore artillery warfare.
The pirates ran out of shells and were making their final sprint, while the musket units all entered the lower batteries, relying on this cover to block the attack.
Bigfoot Binny stood at the bow of the ship and pulled out the long knife at his waist in his hand, "The little ones give me more strength, we won't have to drift at sea after taking this place." ”
"Roar ......" The roar of the pirates was heard over the sea.
Luo Yi pushed his car to the outside of a gun room, where there were four naval soldiers, as well as the muskets sent by the miscellaneous soldiers just now, "Huh? This musket is enough for the time being, you can send it somewhere else. A soldier said after seeing Luo Yi.
"No, I know that the commander approved the battle." Luo Yi put down the weapon box, then opened one and directly took out a musket.
"Hehe, the kid is quite courageous, don't pee your pants in fear when the time comes." The four soldiers laughed, but Luo Yi was unconvinced.
Finally, the boat washed up on the beach, and the pirates directly began to attack, "bang" the sound of musket shooting, and in an instant, the pirates in the front row began to fall continuously, "Shoot back!" ”
The pirates also had muskets, but when they ran out, there were no spare muskets to use, but there were too many of them, densely packed on the beach, and they kept charging forward.
"Xiu Xiu Xiu" bullets flew wildly, hitting the rock wall outside the gun room from time to time, Luo Yi was a little trembling, he didn't think that the bullets were so close to him, and sometimes they would hit the guns in the gun room, and then the bullets flew and didn't know where they would hit.
The mission soldiers in front of them shot bravely, they were leaning on the bunker, so calm, and they were fearless in the face of the oncoming bullets, Luo Yi wanted to move forward, but the bullets flying above his head from time to time made it difficult for him to move, and tried to lower his body as much as possible.
As if his body didn't obey the call, "Ah......" A soldier in front of him fell to the ground holding his shoulder, "Miscellaneous soldier, get him out quickly." The soldier next to him continued to fire, but shouted Luo Yi in his mouth.
Luo Yi hurriedly put down the musket, then crawled over, pulled the wounded soldier's uniform and dragged it out, but the soldier shouted: "Leave me alone, go up and shoot, don't you want to fight?" The firepower can't be reduced, go ahead! ”
