A round of shelling from three artillery pieces had an extremely obvious killing effect.
A gap was opened in the Spanish musket formation in an instant!
The screams kept ringing!
The commander ordered the surrounding soldiers to fill the vacancies.
The vacancy was quickly filled, and then the first volley was fired in the direction of the bastion.
Three rows of muskets fired volleys, smoke filled the air, and lead bullets flew densely toward the city head.
The target was the musketeers of the Liberation Army who were taking turns firing from the third platoon, suppressing the siege natives with their firepower!
In the blink of an eye, seven Liberation Army Musketeers fell to the ground!
But the musketeers of the Liberation Army all wore breastplates.
In just the blink of an eye, three of the six or seven people got up and continued to fight.
The lead bullet hit the breastplate, but failed to break it.
The distance is too far, and even if it is hit, there will not be much energy left in the lead bullet.
These three people were just knocked down by inertia. If they were injured, they were minor injuries at best and did not affect the battle.
But the remaining few are not so lucky!
Three of them were hit by lead bullets in their limbs, bleeding profusely, and could be considered seriously injured.
The remaining person was hit directly in the face by a lead bullet!
The lead bullet entered through the eye socket and exited from the back of the head, killing the person on the spot.
Seeing this scene, Shi Yongxin shouted loudly.
"quick!"
"The health workers come up and give first aid to the wounded!"
"Send the wounded to the camp hospital!"
The sound of muskets continued. Although the musketeers of the Liberation Army were shot once by the Spanish musketeers, their formation remained undisturbed.
Methodical three rows of rounds of fire suppressed the natives attacking the city!
The artillery of the Liberation Army has been loaded again!
Amid the roar of cannons, a large piece of the Spanish musket array was wiped out again.
Bodies and broken limbs were all over the ground!
Facing the muskets of the Liberation Army, the natives also began to fight back, except for throwing flying claws in an attempt to board the city.
Many natives took out their bows and arrows, and bent their bows and arrows at the Liberation Army at the head of the bastion.
Gradually, casualties also appeared among the Liberation Army!
Wu Laoliu followed the military order, stood in a tight formation, and pulled the trigger.
There was a crisp snap!
A native under the city fell to the ground!
But before he had time to go back and reload, he saw a wave of arrows coming from below.
Puff! Puff!
Ding-ding-ding-ding!
The popping sound is the sound of the arrow piercing the flesh, and the clanking sound is the sound of the arrow hitting the breastplate.
Wu Laoliu was hit by several arrows and grinned in pain.
But they were only minor injuries!
Although the natives of Pampanga have a close relationship with the Spaniards, the Spaniards also use and guard against the natives.
Under normal circumstances, ironware is not sold to Pampanga people!
As a result, most of the bows and arrows used by these indigenous people now have stone or bone arrowheads instead of iron arrowheads.
The damage such arrows can cause to the Liberation Army is extremely limited!
Unless it hits the eyes, throat and other vital points, even if it is hit by an arrow, it will only be slightly injured.
Just like Wu Laoliu, he had several arrows stuck in his body, but he was still alive and kicking.
Some natives successfully boarded the city, but when they did, they were faced with melee soldiers of the Liberation Army wearing breastplates and holding steel knives and shields.
In just the blink of an eye, these natives who boarded the city were killed on the spot.
Boom!
Zhentian Lei was finally used.
The fuse was lit, tied with a rope and thrown down the city. The thunder was caught in mid-air and detonated, creating the effect of an airburst bomb.
There was a loud explosion, fire swept across the surrounding area, and fragments flew across to harvest human lives, sweeping away all living creatures within a radius of more than ten meters.
Wails and screams kept coming!
Several sky-shaking thunderbolts were suspended in the air and exploded, and the bottom of the bastion once again turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The artillery is still roaring!
A cannonball was fired at the head of the bastion.
It happened to land on the bastion, and the shells rolled and spun, affecting the musket array of the Liberation Army.
In the blink of an eye, several people were hit by artillery shells.
The cannonballs rotated and rolled, releasing their kinetic energy wantonly and tearing the human body into pieces.
Looking at the broken limbs at the top of the city, Shi Yongxin looked solemn, but he did not panic and ordered in an orderly manner.
"Quickly, fill the gap and continue fighting!"
"Hit me hard with the artillery, let Hongmao see how powerful he is!"
The artillery of the Liberation Army opened fire, sweeping the shotguns across everything, and the Spanish musket array was once again made several holes.
Finally, the Spanish musket array could no longer hold up!
At a distance of 100 meters, they were hit by shotguns three times in a row. If they can persist until now, they can be considered a strong soldier.
Some people in the Spanish musket array began to retreat, turning around and trying to escape.
In an instant, a riot broke out!
The defeat is instantaneous!
The defeat of the Spanish further led to the defeat of the natives. The defeated soldiers abandoned their helmets and armor and fled across the mountains and plains.
Robin's face turned frighteningly dark, but he sighed one after another in his heart.
It is really difficult to conquer a bastion, especially if you want to conquer it head-on!
At this moment, Robin ordered.
"Send the order to the fleet and let them set off immediately!"
"Taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, bypass the bastion and directly attack the rebel camp."
Rogerev went to deliver the order.
Not long after, the fleet moved.
The Spanish fleet of flat-bottomed boats rounded the hiding corner and rushed towards the river valley.
Under the dual action of the sails and oarsmen, the fleet moved forward rapidly, upstream, and plunged into the river valley.
Shi Yongxin noticed the Spaniard's actions and gave an order loudly.
"Quick! Warning!"
"To warn the camp, the Spaniards are preparing to bypass the bastion and land via the river."
"The turret is quickly loaded and ready to fire!"
"..."
The direction of the bastion responded quickly.
Just as the fleet of flat-bottomed boats was about to pass the blockade of the bastion, three cannons exploded.
Shotguns flying!
A large area of native and Spanish soldiers on the deck was swept away.
However, shelling cannot slow down the speed of the fleet, especially shelling.
Shotgun shells are indeed very effective against people, but they are useless against ships.
However, after enduring a round of shelling, the fleet of flat-bottomed boats had no time to rejoice when they ran into the iron cables erected in the river by the Liberation Army.
The ship hit the iron cable, and in an instant, the huge kinetic energy caused the iron cable to be squeezed into the wooden hull.
The hull of the ship suddenly shuddered, and under the action of huge inertia, the stern of the ship tilted high, and the sailors and soldiers on the ship all jumped forward.
Boom! Boom!
In just the blink of an eye, several ships hit the iron cables blocking the river.
There was a crash, and under the huge impact of the ship, the iron cable blocking the river broke.
However, the next moment, the ship that had just been freed hit another iron cable blocking the river...
The Liberation Army deployed defenses in the river valley, how could they not notice this river with abundant water.
In order to fill this defense loophole, the Liberation Army deployed several river-blocking iron cables early to prevent the current situation.
Blocked by the iron cables blocking the river, the ships in front and behind collided with each other, blocking the already narrow river channel!
"Fire!"
"Keep firing!"
"Hit me hard!"
"Artillery, muskets, and sky-shaking thunder, give me a hard hit!"
Shi Yongxin kept giving orders.
Boom! Boom!
Bang bang! Bang bang bang!
Boom! Boom!
Artillery roared, neat volleys of guns resounded, thunder exploded, and fragments and impacts swept around...
