The ship tower was damaged, and the ship also swayed slightly. The descending artillery was affected and began to shake. It was only when the sailors pulled it down desperately that there was no problem! But this scared everyone present in a cold sweat!

This time the shells only brushed the railings on the boat. The railings were all thin wooden boards and could not bear it. When the shells hit, the railings were immediately shattered and there was not much power to be transmitted to the boat.

But if the shells really hit the hull, the huge force would make the ship shake violently, and the cannons would probably not be able to hold them back! Then they could only hit the deck. Not to mention that the ship was damaged, even the sailors who contributed their efforts would have casualties! What's more, the sailors gathered to lift artillery by the ship, and the Dutch shells would hit the crowd if they were slightly off. That would be a very heavy casualties!

However, the ships that came to cover were still halfway and could not count on them. The commanders at the scene had no choice but to desperately urge the soldiers to descend the artillery as soon as possible and then evacuate the crowd. Fortunately, the sailors were very disciplined. The sailors who received the orders shouted and slowly loosened the ropes and put the artillery back on the deck.

At this time, the third round of shells flew over. This time the cannon was extremely accurate! One shot hit the boat and flew into the sea through several fragile wooden boards in the boat building. The other shell hit the bow! The heavy shell directly pierced the side of the boat, smashing the bow! Fortunately, the ship had no water inlet, and the cannon was also placed on wooden wedges, so it did not roll on the deck! This is a great blessing in misfortune!

At this time, the two heavy artillery on the shore were ready. The two groups of them aimed at a turret to prepare for firing. With two loud bangs, two shells flew towards the castle. As expected, the two shells attracted everyone's attention. Almost everyone stopped and looked at the landing point of the two shells.

These two shells lived up to expectations and hit the castle wall. Although they were a little far away from the cannon position, bricks and stones flew across the landing point of the cannon shell, which was terrifying! Even the entire castle was shaken twice! It shows that the power of the heavy artillery is extraordinary!

Niels and others standing on the wall all turned pale! The vibrations from their feet were full of feeling

He was influenced by the power of heavy artillery! The power of these two heavy artillery was even greater than they expected! It seems that Major Clyde's choice was right, and he must not let the remaining artillery land. Once the other artillery is kicked onto the land, it will be a matter of time before the castle is smashed open!

Colonel Clyde shouted loudly after being surprised: "Fire the cannon! Keep firing! Sink that ship, don't let the heavy cannons land!"

The gunners also knew that the situation was critical and moved to prepare to bombard the opponent again. Soon the fourth round of artillery fired! Unfortunately, no shells hit the ship this time, and all fell into nothing!

But the lost shells had a terrible effect! Because three of the eight shells hit the reefs on the shore, the shattered reef fragments swept across all nearby spaces like dense shotguns!

The sailors standing on the trestle were very dense, and more than 20 people fell down in an instant! This was more than the heavy cannon directly hit the ship and lost more people! For a moment, the remaining limbs were flying and screaming! Blood covered the trestle!

When Liu Pei saw so many people dead, his eyes turned red! He immediately sent an order to let the sailors scatter. In fact, before his order was delivered, the sailors scattered with a "coaxing"! Some climbed onto the boat; some lay down on the trestle; some tried to escape to the beach, and some jumped into the sea. The scene was very chaotic for a moment.

Liu Pei carefully looked at the environment around the trestle and seemed to be unable to avoid these reefs! After all, the west side of the island is the farthest from the castle. If you land from other places, you may be more accurate in the other party's artillery and the losses will be greater!

Liu Pei thought for a while and said, "Tow the injured boat away and don't transport artillery first. We continue to find ways to lengthen the pier and let the unloading place be free from the reef area. After all, when lifting the cannons, the crowd stood there for a long time and was hit by stone flakes and shells. The loss was too great! If you were away from the reef area, there would be no loss if the shells were hit in the water."

At this time, the two sea boats that were about to sacrifice themselves as shelter had approached the pier. After receiving the order, they threw the rope directly to the bow of the ship and were beaten to pieces.

The sea boat tied him up and dragged him to the distance.

During this process, neither side stopped the shelling. The cannons on the castle were chasing the ship. The ship was still shot in the process of evacuation! Fortunately, it could withstand it! However, although the ship had no water inlet, it was basically considered useless.

Two heavy artillery on the beach were also firing continuously. Although there has not hit any target gun position for a while, the landing point of the shell has been getting closer and closer to the gun position. If it continues like this, it will sooner or later hit their gun position.

Major Clyde put down his telescope. He estimated that the other party's ship had left his range and conveyed an order and said, "Stop the shelling of the ship, and turn to bombard the two heavy artillery with all his strength! Kill them completely!"

As for the Netherlands gunners, they were very excited to drive out the enemy's sea ships. They felt that they should be able to kill the two cannons this time. After all, the number of the other party's artillery was too small. Under the intensive attacks of their own side, their artillery would sooner or later be destroyed.

But soon something they didn't understand happened! Because their artillery failed!

At this time, the shells fired by the artillery never expect to hit directly. Because hitting directly requires luck. The lethality of the artillery is more reflected in the bounce of the shells. After the rapid shells land, they often bounce out of a long distance, breaking everything that blocks them!

The harder the ground at the landing point of the shell, the more times the shell bounces, and the farther it will fly. The destructive power will be! If the landing point of the shell is soft, the fewer the number of times the shell bounces, the shorter the flight distance and the less lethality will be.

Because of Liu Pei's two heavy artillery, due to their own weight and for the sake of shooting accuracy, both of the gun positions were separated from the beach and built on hard land. The Dutch gunners felt that it was easy to knock them out.
