Chapter 47 Movement
The two huge stone-shooting cannons were not very powerful. Even though this thing was already a hundred-pound cannon by caliber, the stone cannon was only a few hundred meters away, and Li Mao spent nearly a cup of tea to push the cannon.
Two pirates who were in the direction of the buttocks of the artillery when they were fired, one was directly hit by the back seat of the artillery, and the other was broken by the foot bones. Then the two cannons were retreated more than twenty steps along the way by the back seat.
Much of gunpowder has been spent here.
Although the two big rock bombs had a short range, they obviously achieved the goal of the pirates.
Lin Feng had never played bowling, but the picture in front of him was like this. The Spanish phalanx soldiers rushed into the gap with their spears and muskets, and were about to launch a massacre of the pirates. Two large rock bombs flew over, one of which had a huge rock bullet with an angle too high, perfectly avoiding the entire army passing over the sky and I don’t know where it was to attack.
The other one is in the Spanish square formation, like a sickle cutting off wheat. The warrior hit by a stone bullet does not matter whether he wears armor or not. He is directly crushed by the head and penetrates the formation from beginning to end.
The two rows of soldiers on both sides were not in good condition. Even if they were not hit directly, they would be broken wherever they were next to each other, and the entire military formation was shattered. Not to mention the Spanish commander, even Lin Feng did not react to such a change.
The roar of two stone cannons equipped with huge amounts of gunpowder at the same time shocked Li Mao and the pirates around him. They were all head-heavy, and everyone seemed to have a brain disease and opened their hands in the smoke of gunpowder, stumbled and searched for directions.
Lin Afeng reacted from her brief shock and raised her short axe to fight. The pirates behind him rushed up, while the pirates on the right shot were constantly shooting with bird guns. The lead ball fell into the enemy formation like rain, leaving this Spanish square that suffered heavy damage unsustainable.
From the close range of bombardment by stone-shooting cannons, it was no longer important what orders their captain gave. The soldiers who picked up their weapons and fought to the death were not because of the captain's military order, and the soldiers who left their weapons and ran away with their heads in their arms were not because of the captain's military order.
It's just the difference between human nature and their distance and pirates.
Regasby's heart was snatched from the castle since he heard the sound of cannons from the port. These giant cannons were used to prepare for the Chihai in the physiological navy. There were five gates, three of which had been transported to the port of the Northeast Bay, leaving two gates for the enemy's attack on Cebu, but they finally relaxed.
The range of this kind of stone shooting cannon is not very close, but because the diameter is much shorter, the hit rate is very bad. It can only hit at close range. It is too heavy and has no use in field battles. However, it is obviously very advantageous when attacking a giant like the Chihai - as long as you get close to the port, hitting a big ship can sink a few cannons.
In the past, such stupid, big, black and thick artillery ramped up in the 14th century. Field artillery equipped with simple four-wheeled artillery vehicles made great contributions to the bold Charlie, but it was just a flash in the pan. Most of the time, the straight-line stone-shooting cannons were quickly replaced by new artillery that were easier to maneuver.
And now, stone shooting cannons are the best way to deal with the castle iron gate!
All his hopes are placed on sending the castle soldiers to wipe out the enemy trapped in the port before the enemy forces rushed to the east to rescue, otherwise he would have to be prepared to fight in the castle.
If Regasby knew that Lin Afeng's original plan was to plunder the city and had no intention of plundering the port. She was driven into the port by the square soldiers he sent to get the stone-shooting cannon, he might have been pirated to death on the city immediately.
When Lin Feng took the short axe from the neck of the last fully armed Spanish elite sword and shield, the unlucky ghost had been crushed to death by the pirates who rushed forward for a while.
Lin Feng, panting, fell to the ground, and had no idea where the hair towel was thrown in the fight. He looked at Li Mao, who was surrounded by two stone shooting cannons behind him, and he nodded slowly.
Before they could rest for a while, there was another noisy marching sound from a distance, causing the pirates who were in a panic of blood to stand up with their weapons and support each other in front of them in a strong manner. However, many people stood up but found that they had already lost their strength, their legs were soft, and their hands holding the weapons were shaking constantly.
They don't have the energy to commit to a new battle.
"It's Duke Zhuang, Duke Zhuang is here!"
The gunmen on the shooting platform of the house cheered, and the tense strings in the hearts of many pirates suddenly broke, and they all sat on the ground, some even lay directly in the muddy soil, unwilling to use half of their strength.
Some pirates with physical strength were busy unloading the armor of Spanish soldiers from their bodies and putting them on them. Lin Feng's pirates were aware of the goods.
In addition to those escaping heavy gunmen who did not have armor, most of these phalanx soldiers wore breastplates and high-top iron helmets, especially fully armed sword and shield hands. Their swords can pierce the mail and the plate armor connecting the lower body brings them sufficient protection.
Putting aside personal skills, this is the reason why they still cause huge casualties to the pirates even if they are swept by stone bombs.
"Lin Lao, some people have added a layer of armor to them."
A pirate took the lining of the chest deck inside the Spanish sword and shield armour and gave it to Lin Feng. Lin Feng took it and looked at it and went back, preparing to tell him the news when he saw Chen Mu again.
In his opinion, that Chen Shuai was a master of arms in the Ming Dynasty. No matter what rare things he found, Chen Erye would definitely be able to make them.
He doesn't need better firearms, but he needs better armor.
Zhuang Duke had much better manpower than Lin Afeng. They were entangled because they had more troops to defend the north outside the castle than the port. Because they were not familiar with the terrain, they rushed into the camp where the Spanish hired Luzons and encountered a Luzon army with a slightly more troops than them.
There was no suspense in the end. Although those people also had firearms, their skills were not as good as pirates. After firing each other for a while, they simply launched a charge at the pirates.
But is the charge the opponent of Duke Zhuang?
The front was cut to pieces, and a group of people behind surrendered simply and harvested some siege ladders from the prisoners' camp. Duke Zhuang rushed his troops to attack the city with almost no brains. He killed the city and lost a small team and was repelled. Seeing the cannons at the port exploded, he led his people to drive the prisoners away carrying the ladders.
Lin Feng fought a war and many people died, and Duke Zhuang also fought a war, with more troops than before.
"Stay and rest, the gunman guards the garrison. Duke Zhuang asked someone to demolish the house and make wooden shields. If they rest for an hour, they would not attack him, and we would use the cannon to knock down the broken iron gate and set off this rotten stone castle!"
Lin Feng guessed that there shouldn't be many defenders in the castle, otherwise there wouldn't be any movement for so long.
Good morning!
