The light galley warship is equipped with three naval 7-pounder light guns, and in the current naval sequence of Cape Town, this ancient row warship has long been withdrawn from the front-line combat units and is only used as an ordinary transport ship. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, the weight of the 7-pounder gun is extremely light, and three or five people can carry it together and move quickly, and with a little modification, it is similar to the cavalry 7-pounder gun in the army recruitment arms, which is quite convenient.

Just like now, a group of pirates was found on the north bank of the Yuqiao River in a rapid landing and assembly, relying on the smooth road on the wall of Haijiao Town, and in the shortest possible time, more than 30 7-pounder guns were requisitioned.

If it weren't for the fact that a dozen 7-pounder guns were left behind as a supplement to the firepower of the 24-pounder light cannon, it is estimated that the number of cannons on the north wall could quickly reach more than fifty guns within ten minutes, so that those pirates in Crash Bay could try what is called the defender's firepower!

And now, the thirty-six seven-pounder light guns that have been test-fired have also been adjusted by the artillerymen, and the muzzles of the black holes are all ready, and even the cast-iron shells the size of fists are pressed against the powder bag in the chamber.

Even, on the hill battery at the mouth of the Yuqiao River, the three 12-pounder bronze falcon guns that had not been used for a long time were also transferred by the artillerymen at this time, aiming at the pirates in the crash bay from afar, seemingly safe, but in fact still within the firing range of more than 500 meters.

"A bunch of primitive idiots, barbarians who only know how to use force."

On the north side of the city wall, Wilmot, the Minister of War who had already arrived in this area, had a relaxed face, and a group of enemies within his fire range wanted to attack with great force, as if it were a joke.

Even the barbaric Slavs, the still nomadic Tatars, knew how to gather troops beyond the range of artillery, and the fact that these pirates in Crash Bay dared to line up according to the traditional distance of five hundred meters was a mockery of the power of artillery, a contempt for their artillery.

There is no doubt that this comes at a cost, and it is necessary to compensate for this mistake with the most direct life talent!

The cannon of one door was ready, and on the side of the arquebus, the reddish iron tongs that had been scorched by the flames, approached the arquebus gently, just waiting for the order from the commander.

But Wilmot didn't continue to speak, and looked solemnly at the more than a hundred pirate archers of Crash Bay not far away, on the north bank of the Yuqiao River, who were still laughing wildly, and seemed to have shown indifferent mockery about the test shot he had just requested.

"Really?" Although Wilmot was the Minister of War, he was born in the artillery unit and belonged to the highly talented students who had studied at the Royal Spanish Artillery Academy.

The test launch just now had already been seen in his eyes, including a series of factors such as the landing point, ballistics, enemy distance, wind speed, etc., which had been quickly calculated in his mind, and finally a conclusion was reached in the shortest possible time.

"Order, all artillery ready."

Wilmot exhaled slowly, with a bit of calmness in his eyes, looking at the pirates who didn't know how to dodge yet, and still scattered in the traditional bow and arrow formation, the corners of his mouth brought a mocking smile.

Slowly raising his right hand, the heralds beside him also quickly waved down the small flag, which represented the first meaning of the artillery preparation, and the artillerymen who had already prepared were all in their hearts, because they already knew that the next time they waved the flag, it was the moment when they opened fire.

All the artillery squad leaders in charge of the artillery have already slightly adjusted the artillery firing range under their control at this time, in order to ensure that after the cannon is fired, the shells are dumped in their predetermined area.

Not far away, the pirate archers in Crash Bay had also come to a distance of two hundred meters at this time, and they seemed to be a little afraid of the test firing just now, everyone was about three or five meters away, and for ordinary archers, it was almost luck to shoot a scattered enemy at a distance of 100 meters.

"Ready."

But Wilmot didn't see it that way, he raised his hand, and the herald behind him had already raised the two-color and three-strip flags symbolizing the Spanish Empire, and the gunners of the artillery on the city wall had already held the iron tongs in their hands, and slowly leaned on the fire rope, less than three centimeters, and waited strictly.

"Fire!" Wilmot's voice sounded immediately, and the raised right hand waved forward, and the herald holding the flag had already waved the flag down in an instant with his order.

"Sneer......"

The hot iron tongs had already touched the fire rope, and the special hemp rope was quickly ignited, and the gunpowder bag in the fire door also touched the flames with the fire rope that had been burned in, and the black powder particles began to burn fully, and a large number of molecules expanded, and there was an instantaneous force, surging towards the surroundings.

The hard bore of the cannon restrained this force, and the power of technology was bound into the tiny bore, propelling the only movable cast-iron cannonball towards the muzzle.

"Boom Boom T

Blazing flames erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, and the sound of thunder was already continuous, fist-sized cannonballs tearing through the air, and finally slid through the void and appeared on the north bank of the Yuqiao River more than a hundred meters away.

It was a frightened Shipwreck Bay pirate, still raising the war bow in his hand, putting on his feather arrows and wanting to shoot at the city wall one hundred and thirty or fifty meters away, with their exquisite skills and rich experience, they had the impression that they had only passed through a little armed militia, and easily shot into hedgehogs.

To put it mildly, it is true that they have been invincible before, and they have encountered a rabble of militia rather than a regular army in the true sense of the word, and they are very cunning and will not do risky things.

But now, the experience in their impression seemed to have lost its value, because when the black-gray gunpowder smoke that had already filled the city wall, and the sudden firelight appeared, it seemed that the call of death had already appeared in their ears, and they had no time to react!

"Bang bang

The round solid iron bullet of cast iron easily tore through any obstacle in front of them, and with the burst of stumps and blood mist, the unchanged trajectory still slammed heavily on the ground, and then bounced out towards the rear.

As if gracefully drifting water, the round, solid iron bullets leaped along the predetermined trajectory, venting their power and shattering the body that was still stunned.

Thirty-six naval 7-pounder light guns fired a salvo, plus three 12-pounder bronze falcon cannons, and the steel frenzy that appeared was like a violent wind whistling in an instant, and like a thunderstorm that broke in an instant, it swept across the ground like sand and rocks, and also swept over the more than 100 scattered pirate archers who were standing.

At the moment of this salvo, more than twenty pirate archers in Crash Bay had their brains shattered, their limbs mutilated, and their bright red blood had even turned into a blood mist.

"Good."

With a smile on his face, Wilmot looked at the panicked pirate archers, his voice had been raised again, and he turned his head and shouted, "Reload, ready to fire again!" ”

The rate of fire of the 7-pounder gun was very fast, and the brushing, filling of powder packs, and the loading of solid shells were all completed in the hands of this group of skilled artillerymen, almost uselessly two minutes.

After all, it is a light artillery, and the rate of fire is also one of its advantages!

But on the north bank of the Yuqiao River in front of them, more than a hundred pirate archers had not even recovered, and the sound of countless thunders and flashes just now made their heads a little foggy, and they even began to retreat in a small area, holding their heads and not daring to straighten their waists again.

Because he was beside him, his companion, who was still arrogant before, had turned into a mutilated corpse and lay there, with blood from his internal organs and stumps, which was very miserable.

But their nightmare was not over, the artillerymen who had been reloaded began to correct the firing range again, the muzzle of the black hole was aimed upward, and the red iron pincers also approached the slender arquebus.

"Fire!"

Thirty-six re-placed Navy 7-pounder light guns continued to fire a salvo, and although the three 12-pounder bronze falcons were not involved in this salvo, another metal frenzy swept across the north bank of the Yuqiao River.

This time, the group of pirate archers who had retreated and retreated and subconsciously gathered together, before they could shirk their responsibilities to each other, were stunned to find that in the resounding thunder, one after another tearing the air cannonballs reappeared in front of them, and immediately blasted through their bodies!

The blood was flowing, the stumps flew in the sky and then smashed down, the original vigorous body had broken through a big hole, and one by one the pirate archers who were not blind to the eyes were subconsciously widened, but their eyes were dissipating.

"Kill!"

But in the midst of this almost unpredictable situation, while the pirates were still dumbfounded, there was a frantic cry in the farm and mill next to it, which should have been nothing unusual.

Some of the pirates turned their heads in astonishment, and more than 300 soldiers armed with sharp scimitars, with a ball of linen wrapped around their heads, and wearing leather armor, appeared in the middle of heaven and earth, lined up in formation, and were running towards them quickly with their scimitars held high.

It was the Barbary pirates, the ambush soldiers who had been in the middle of the homestead farm, and at this time, they finally rushed out of the hidden thatched hut before the enemy could react!
