The one-pound cannon is called a cannon, and the sixteen-pound cannon is also called a cannon. In this era, artillery is the most powerful weapon, and the word "big" is well deserved. The soldiers on the bell tower are at a high place, and the angles he can see are different. The Spanish on the stone wall turret below have not seen it yet, and they are a little panicked for a moment, but the natives have already rushed in front of them.

The Han people did not dare to charge in person, but they were ruthless in supervising the battle. The Spaniards on the stone wall clearly saw that the indigenous people were knocked down by artillery and muskets behind them. If they ran slower, they would be the end of death. Now these indigenous people are not charging, but rather they are escaping their lives. The closer they are to the fortress, the more they have a chance of survival.

"Major! Look over there, at least it's a sixteen pound cannon!!"

After the lookout whistle screamed, he hurriedly called the officer below. The officer hurriedly went up to the bell tower. On this tense and tired morning, the sudden scream of the sentry was very annoying. The officer was supposed to teach him a lesson. On the bell tower, you could clearly see that within a distance of hundreds of steps, the wooden house pulled by dozens of cows had been unloaded on the roof, revealing the cannon inside, which was indeed a cannon.

After seeing the size of the cannon, the officer took a breath and then encouraged himself: "The Han people's cannon casting skills are very poor. Their cannons are at most sixteen pounds, and I don't think they can get twelve pounds!"

The problem is that the twelve cannons are enough to kill. There are only a few six-pound cannons directly in front of the fortress. They are not meant to be careless or relaxed when designing the fortress, and they can use such cannons to deal with the natives.

The officer said this, running downwards, shouting loudly while running: "Fire the cannon, fire the cannon, the other party has set up heavy cannons!"

How can the fire be fired now? The officer who was setting up defense looked at the natives who were rushing in front of him and started firing. The soldiers of the defenders needed space, but the artillery fire at the main entrance of the fortress at this distance and angle would no longer have any effect.

"Murder shooting!"

Seeing that the indigenous people were about to lay the wooden boards into the trench, the officer yelled loudly, and the muskets immediately started a volley. The indigenous people fell down a large area within the range. After being hit head-on, they were about to collapse. The Spanish on the city wall heard someone shouting everywhere, and the retreating indigenous people kept falling down.

Although the Han people around the periphery were demolishing the buildings, the houses around the fortress were not moved. Some of these houses were Spanish buildings and some were indigenous nobles, which looked a little bit regulated, but during the two days of battle, these houses became dilapidated.

Even the rag was ragged, but it could provide enough cover for the siege and those lurking forward. After being shrouded in the fortress, the Spaniards who were holding in the fortress all night, they didn't know if anyone was hiding these places, and they were unwilling to waste shells on these buildings.

After hearing these shouts, you can also see firearms shooting in these houses, and the retreat of the natives was stopped. On the fortress, there are also many people who went out to have fun in the past, and they could hear clearly what the shouts were shouting outside, saying that if they retreated, they would be cut and thrown into the sea one by one.

If you throw your wounds into the sea, you will be stimulated by the salt in the sea. Not to mention, the smell of blood will soon attract the sharks when will the Chinese people be so cruel? The Spanish on the fortress cursed loudly, because they saw that not only the natives who had just retreated came up again, but also the newly driven forces continued to join from behind.

Of course, the Spaniards didn't know that there was a small commotion among the indigenous people last night. This was how the indigenous people who were arrested dealt with, and the deterrence was really strong.

The artillery on both sides of the fortress's main entrance began to adjust the position of the artillery and prepare to shoot the Han people's heavy artillery that moved nearby. However, the harassment and attack of the natives had already bought enough time for the heavy artillery.

With a "boom", the battlefield became quiet. It was not that everyone did not make any sound, but that all the sounds were covered up by the cannon.

The howling sound of shells flying through the air could no longer be called sharp. It seemed that a strong wind suddenly blew, and the shooting angle was not too high. The shells hit the stone wall on the left side of the fortress's front door.

Many Spaniards on the stone wall jumped from the stone wall toward the yard when they saw the cannon firing. Some people hurriedly lay behind the hidden objects, and some people ran to both sides to get out of this area.

The shells hit the stone wall, which shook heavily. The Spaniards who were still standing were shocked and fell down. The stones and slabs were shattered in the area they were hit, and the gravels splattered everywhere, killing and injuring all over the ground.

The vibration made the entire fortress feel. Paul Louis rushed out of the bunker and shouted loudly at the stone wall: "Bat, fight back!"

What's more amazing is that the people on the stone wall were not injured in this shelling. Everyone was in a dizzy state. In fact, they didn't need their governor to shout, and they knew that they would fight back. Under such heavy artillery shooting, the fortress's defense may not be able to last for too long.

The attacks on the fortress in the past few days seemed absurd and stupid at that time, and they all had the answers. It turned out that the other party wanted to move the heavy artillery to the effective range of the fortress. With this heavy artillery, you don’t have to worry about siege and attack, and you can use this artillery to knock it open.

However, at this range, you can still fight back with the cannons on the fortress, and at least you can suppress it and you cannot allow the opponent to continue firing.

The artillery staggered to the artillery and just picked up the tools. The people in the area on the left felt their bodies sinking and they fell down.

There was a scream on the stone wall. Half of the wall had collapsed. With one shot, the entire structure collapsed. There were heavy artillery on it. It was already a shaky state. Now that the artillery stepped on it, it could not bear the weight, and half of the wall collapsed directly.

There was no casualties in this. The artillery fell down and was at most fractured. However, the natives had already rushed over, and the artillery could only fight with the tools in their hands, or wait for death.

After this incident, the other two remaining artillery could not open fire immediately. The collapsed wall made it easier for the natives to climb. The infantry on the wall didn't care about anything and rushed up and fired with muskets to disperse the natives who had already climbed up.

It was another roar. The chaotic time just now was enough for the heavy artillery to be loaded. As soon as the cannon sounded, the people on the wall near the gate hurriedly ran apart and hurriedly concealed. The cannon just now "has proved how powerful it is. Not to mention the white people on the stone wall, even the natives below suddenly scattered, so as not to be accidentally injured by the sand and stones aroused by the shell.

The stone wall of the fortress vibrated again. With the correction of the position this time, the Spaniards' defense did not block the door, but instead made it a move to attack at any time, which made the structure of the door more fragile and weak.

When the second shot hit, the gate tower collapsed directly, and the cannons above were unable to be fired. The entire gate area turned into a slope. Although it was a bit steep, there was no need to climb.

The supervisory team hiding in the buildings near the fortress shouted loudly again. The artillery outside the range of the fortress cannons did not harm the fortress, but it was enough to use it for supervising the war.

What made the Spanish in the fortress feel disappointed was that the quality and quantity of artillery of the Han people even exceeded that of the fortress. The reason why they only used this heavy artillery to bombard it was just that it was troublesome to move.

Although the past two days were long, it may be seen that the Han people still wanted to fight quickly, so they consumed a lot of indigenous manpower and used various methods to exercise heavy artillery. If the other party was willing to extend the battle time, for example, it would be very easy to win the fortress within one month.

Under the supervision of these light guns, the natives were reluctant to rush towards the fortress again. The output of sharp force on the stone wall had weakened a lot, and the natives were unwilling to build fortifications in other places to climb. The main gate of the fortress, which was bombarded by the cannon, became the easiest gap to climb.

The natives rushed over in a rush, but immediately retreated again, because the fully armed Spaniards rushed out, shooting muskets, assassination of spears, slashing of big swords, and the indigenous mobs holding bamboo guns and machetes in their hands had no way to fight, and the number of Spaniards coming out this time was nearly a thousand.

After storing the indigenous people, this team of Spanish soldiers did not continue to chase and kill the fleeing indigenous people, but rushed directly towards the direction of heavy artillery.

The most threat to the fortress is this heavy artillery. Although there are more naval guns at sea, they are restrained from each other with the cannons on the fort, and at most they will be fur damage. However, if this heavy artillery is allowed to bombard again and again, the entire fortress will collapse.

After knowing that there were Han people outside, the Spaniards were first confident in sticking to each other, but after discovering heavy artillery, they decided to send people out to seize the artillery. The Spaniards were confident that they could completely defeat the exponential Han armed forces with 800 people.

The outer periphery is mostly buildings. The Spanish are in close formation and trotting very quickly. After the light cannons around fired in the first round, the next fire did not have much effect. But to the surprise of the Spanish, the Han people's heavy cannons did not make any adjustments because of their attacks. They continued to clean the cannon chamber there and prepare to shoot.

If the artillery does not move, then wait for the slaughter of the enemy. The Spanish officers who rushed out shouted loudly, and the soldiers also shouted horns and speeded up.

The roar like a muffled thunder sounded for the third time. Although I knew that the shells would fly over my head, I heard the howling sound, but subconsciously bent down and paused for a moment.

The shells once again concentrated the stone wall facing the fortress inland. This time the artillery adjusted its position and did not hit the position just now, but tilted to the left.

The indigenous people who were rushing up the slope to fight against the Spanish were not affected too much by this gun, but the gap in the stone wall that had been broken was even widened by this gun.

“Snap the pace….”

The Spanish officer leading the way yelled. Just as he was halfway through his words, he heard rhythmic drums sounding on both sides of the street. This drum sound was not unfamiliar to the Spanish. This was the stairs and drums of the army when they were marching. Then, before the heavy artillery, Han soldiers wearing plate armor, holding muskets and wearing plate armor lined up from both sides and then formed a horizontal line.

“Prepare to shoot!”

The Spanish couldn't understand this sentence, but when they saw the other party's movements, they also understood what the other party was going to do. The drums were always ringing rhythmically, and they could see the spear queues continue to appear.

At such a distance, you can see that the expressionless soldiers on the opposite side were not Portuguese, but Han people, or Han people who were slaughtered like a lamb a year ago. The Spanish felt chill all over. When did the Han people have such a team? Didn’t the military power of the Ming Empire still stop in the era of the knights?

"For God and the King, rushed over!"

At this time, it is impossible to retreat. He can only fight with the opponent's muskets and cannot form a continuous shooting. He rushed to the front to fight in a hand-to-hand battle. The current situation is not whether he can fight to the death, but that he turned around and fled and was chased and killed, which would cause more serious casualties. The officer who led the team was a bit bloody and ran to the front shouting.

The drums did not stop, and finally four artillery pieces were pushed out. The artillery soldiers shouted horns and moved the four three-scattered cannons to the front of the array.

The muzzle was flat, and the ammunition should have been loaded long ago. There were heavy artillery behind it. The Spaniards in the fortress would definitely come out to seize the cannons. These infantry and artillery had been waiting here for a long time. I guess the cannons were loaded with ammunition, and most of them were still shotguns. "Boom boom boom." The smoke of gunpowder was filled with guns, and four cannons fired one after another, not iron sand, but dozens of metal balls, so the effective range would be longer.

Hundreds of metal projectiles formed a barrage, covering the Spanish infantry's queue. Even though the Spanish infantry were wearing plate armor, the plate armor could not stop the high-speed iron ball from the cannon bore.

The officer who rushed in the forefront and the soldiers behind him were swept by the volley of the light artillery, and the rest of the people had no courage to continue charging.

In fact, they were still confident when they rushed over. They felt that there would be no soldiers stronger than the Spanish in the East. The Han people could only rely on more people and could only attack by driving away the natives. However, when they were covered with artillery fire, they saw the strict discipline and excellent equipment of the Han soldiers. They were completely desperate. They were just thinking of running back to the fortress, at least there were fortifications there and there were more people.

However, Wang Tong's soldiers would not give them this opportunity. After the cannon was fired, the cannon was retreating and stopped. The musketeers immediately followed the shooting. The people who were behind screamed and fell to the ground. The entire team was completely in chaos and the pursuit continued...
