Chapter 1255 Landing in Manila (Part 2)
It is because of this small back slope that it is like adding protection to the shore cannon position. Although the shore cannon in this era does not have a turtle cover like in the future, it is good at using the terrain.
The Spanish chose this back slope as a point, which made the Ming army's artillery uncomfortable, reachable but not hit. Most of the artillery fired on the slope. Looking at the blowing in front, it was a little harmful to the Spanish artillery positions behind the slope.
"put!"
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The Spanish shore artillery continued to roar. They leaned against the defense of the reverse slope and instantly shot a round-trip with the Ming Dynasty's superior artillery.
I saw that you fired at me on this battlefield. There were not many Spanish shore artillery, only more than twenty, but the accuracy was improved. Each round of artillery can achieve something. The solid shell hit the Ming warship.
Although the Ming Dynasty warships were reinforced, holes were also made under the bombardment of this solid projectile.
There were few casualties, but this insult was quite powerful.
Zeng Zeng took all this in the distance. This slope affected the performance of our Ming cannons. We must break through this slope to knock down the Spanish turret.
However, the ballistics are relatively straight when the distance is far, so you can only hit it up. When the distance is close, you can increase the muzzle and increase the trajectory, so that you can cross this back slope.
Of course, there is another way, which is to let the landing troops directly attack the Spaniard's turret, so that they can also break through.
But Zeng Zeng was unwilling to do this, so men had to shoot, and it would be fun to shoot one shot at me.
The South China Sea Fleet is too new and has basically never experienced shooting, so Zeng Zeng cherishes this opportunity more. He wants to train the navy under his command. Anyway, the solid bullets of the Spanish artillery do not cause much damage to our warships, so there is no need for a Marine Corps to join.
So the rapid destroyer turned the bow and approached forward, facing the bombardment of Spanish turrets to a distance of 400 meters.
"Recharge! Position the second ship in the west!" The Spanish captain was very excited because the artillery team he commanded was hitting the unknown fleet hard.
Look, see what they were beaten by me. Their shells could not hit us, but ours could hit them. This is all my credit. I carefully selected this place.
This Spanish captain has a very beautiful psychology. It seems that he will not be promoted this time. At least he can get a major.
It would be even better if he could sink a few more warships.
The captain yelled and urged his men, just thinking about being able to shoot out the most ammunition at the fastest speed and sinking these damn "pirates"!
The closer the Ming army warships were, the more brilliant their results were, and the more excited the captain was.
But when the captain was excited, he forgot that the Ming army was less than four hundred meters away from his fort.
The Ming army raised the muzzle and stuffed it into the flowering bullet. At this distance, not only the Spanish artillery's artillery's accuracy was very good, but the Ming army's artillery's accuracy was also greatly improved.
At least six hundred artillery aimed at this Spanish position.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"
A series of flashes and smoke enveloped the warships, and the dense black dots in the sky flew towards the Spanish artillery positions.
The captain was still yelling, and then he heard the roar in the sky.
When he felt something was wrong with the landing point, he realized that the shells could already cross the back slope where he relied on.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"
At least two hundred flowering bullets fell on the Spanish artillery positions, with fire trees and silver flowers all night long, and small mushrooms rose from the ground.
The dense explosion of flames could even compare with the sun. The Spanish artillery position, which was still firing artillery, suddenly became mute.
After the fire dissipated, the lively Spanish artillery positions had disappeared, leaving only the broken walls and the vastness of the ground.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
A whistle that penetrated the eardrum was heard, and the landing troops slid violently as if they were on electricity.
The Marine soldiers grabbed the oars with both hands and rowed forward with force. The landing craft was as if they were equipped with propellers and rushed towards the shore quickly.
The soldiers of the Marine Corps all used all their strength to use their arms and wanted to install wings on the ship. Seeing these hundreds of landing crafts quickly crossing the sea, rushing forward toward the shore, fearing that some small boat would be left behind if it was slower.
Unfortunately, the enemy they imagined did not show any stubborn attacks. When the first landing craft was stranded, no enemy came out.
"Puboo, puboo!" The Marine soldiers jumped off the boat, and the sea water under their feet touched their calves. They held up the rifle in their hands and ran towards the front for fear of entering the water.
For a moment, the Ming army was everywhere on the beach, and a battalion of Marines quickly poured into the sea. As soon as they got ashore, they headed towards Manila City according to the scheduled plan.
The landing battle was very easy and I felt that I didn’t have much effort, which reminded Zeng Zeng of the lesson His Majesty taught them.
The cruelty of landing war will be far beyond your imagination.
Zeng Zeng felt that this landing battle was indeed far beyond his imagination.
Before I could exert my strength, the Spaniard fell down.
Damn it, it made me excited, but the result was that simple.
At this time, the Spaniards were also ready to fight. Three thousand Spanish soldiers, led by Governor Coquera, were preparing to fight the pirates under the city of Manila.
At least in the eyes of the Spanish, these people are pirates, they seem to be pirates of Ming people. Anyway, they are not Japanese, so the Japanese Koquila clearly distinguish them.
After the previous news came back, Koquila realized that a pirate of two thousand people from Ming was moving towards him.
Koquela did not feel afraid or panic. He was a real military governor and was very familiar with leading troops to fight.
Faced with the attack of two thousand Ming pirates, he is now commanding an elite Spanish army of three thousand people.
I saw Coquila setting up troops in the open space outside Manila City, and they formed a powerful Morris square. At least in Coquila's view, Simoris square is invincible here.
In fact, Coquera's best-in-class is the Spanish phalanx, but the open space in this place is really limited and the front is a bit narrow, so the Ming pirates cannot cross the wings to attack him, so all soldiers can face the enemy's Morris phalanx head-on and have a better advantage here.
