Pals's Pita military equipment looks scary, but it is indeed scary to use.

A huge stone bullet hit the water five or six hundred steps apart, stirring up waves that were taller than the ship's freeboard, which was enough to discourage everyone.

Fortunately, Liangbo Town is not Shao Tingda's soldier.

If the Spanish army in Mexico was exposed to post-traumatic stress disorder by the cavalry of Black Cloud Dragon, then Shao Tingda's naval division was also very scared of the Spanish's stone-firing cannons.

It is a very boring thing to simply compare weapons, just like Liangbo Town’s ship is equipped with the Nanyang General Shuo, all of which are the latest, best, and the farthest-range cannons.

The stone shooting cannon is an old thing that has been almost retired from the 14th century to the present. It is not accurate to shoot and has a short range, so there is almost nothing to be scary.

But the facts are just the opposite. Everyone on the two Ming army warships fear the most is stone-firing cannons.

Life is yours, and everyone is afraid of death. It’s hard to solve the problem. You can’t just jump into the sea just because you are afraid, right?

Liangbo Town's flagship, Dongchong, and another warship, Baiteng Fort, were all the names of his hometown Shunde County. At this time, the corner sounds on the deck of the flagship were sounded, and the four-sided flags were waving to command another warship to throw shells at the enemy ship and then evacuate from the battlefield from the other side of the island.

He could not maintain the battle line, nor could he even go to fight with the Western ships. The four Western warships moored along the coast of another small island in front of him were larger than their ships, and they would be caught once they were injured. In the battle of the platoon, the Ming ship could not match the Western ships at all.

Two five hundred warships came with the wind, and the low-pressure bow of the ship was like a bird passing through the side flank of the Pita, which had already bombarded the bow of the ship, and the port guns were bombarded from front to back in sequence from four hundred steps away.

At the same time, three Spanish warships that were turning also fired their side guns and fired back.

It is worth mentioning that the Spanish ships have a side gun structure. Most of them do not have side guns on merchant ships, and only arm some cyclone guns, that is, light Franchise machines. This small iron gun forged with iron hammers mostly comes from small blacksmiths workshops in Spain, which are cheap and can be armed in large quantities.

The warship guns are mostly made of copper, with excellent performance and high cost. They are mixed with cast iron cannons purchased from the Netherlands. They use wooden cannons. There are two small wheels at the front end, no wheels at the back but two elongated sled-shaped cannon tail frames to reduce the rear seat.

This is the tail frame of field guns. During land wars, mules and horses can be hung to move quickly, but it will obviously cause the artillery to be fired and loaded slowly. The sailors must first lift the tail frame with manpower, pull the gun out, and then clean the barrel and load the shells.

In fact, the Spanish warship's side cannons were not intended to be loaded in battle.

As for artillery, what's the use of it after a while? No matter what, it still needs to win by connecting the sidelines.

Liang Bozhen had no time to observe the killing of his artillery shells on the enemy. When he saw the fire of enemy ships and cannons at sea, he shouted to his subordinates to hide.

The chance of a stone-shooting cannon hitting a warship was so small that it could be ignored, but the lethality of the Franz and the side cannon cannot be ignored. His voice was only a breath, and the sound of the cannon breaking through the sails and hitting the freeboard hitting the ears.

More than thirty small and small cannonballs swept across the two side strings of the bright ship like a strong wind. Liang Bozhen did not dare to look straight and watch the hit situation, but he still heard the loud report from the Nanyang veterans on the observation deck: "General, hit nine guns, the enemy ship was unscathed, two guns hit the deck, and one gun hit the forecastle!"

Only nine cannons?

Liang Bozhen cursed: "They had more than a dozen guns hitting my boat. Go quickly and let General Qi deal with them!"

After ordering, the ship immediately turned its rudder and swung its swaying to bombard the starboard artillery in the waters where four western ships gathered, and then the two Ming ships fled.

Two Spanish ships, including the Pita, unwilling to bombard the stern-shooting stone guns. The shells chased the tail of the Ming ship and fell into the waves. The Spanish screams and scolds sounded on the coast.

"If I run away after the fight, why would I cut off the anchor?"

The combat power of the Ming army fleet was so amazing in the New World that the squadron captain Pars was so scared that he wanted to escape when he saw two warships smaller than them. However, after both sides banged each other for a while, he found that the Ming army had run away.

You can run easily, but my ship has no main anchor. Why do I stop in a ghost place like Devil Island, where there are no harbours in thirteen islands?

After cursing for a few words, Pars looked back at his subordinates on the deck and ordered: "Anyway, it is fortunate for us to leave. They will count the casualties, check for damage to the hull, call back the Legion infantry on the shore, pack up the food and fresh water, we cannot stay here for a long time."

"Hurry, hurry up, all of them are moving! We are lucky enough to catch up with them!"

The Ming ship came and walked faster. It seemed that it had never happened except for the shells and the bodies on the deck. In a moment, the statistics of the wounded on the attacked Pita were counted by the officers on the ship.

"A total of seven sailors and twelve infantry were killed in the shells. An unlucky seam plugger's head was knocked away by a shell and broke a knight's arm."

Pars frowned and expressed his dissatisfaction with his expression to the officer's detailed report on his injuries. He then heard about the damage to the ship: "The foremast is damaged and needs to be reinforced. The barrel of the lower No. 4 gun was smashed and only one shell almost penetrated the hull, but it was embedded on the board, so as long as the carpenter was sealed, it would not affect the navigation."

"Where are their cannons?" Pars said: "What do shells look like?"

"They hit us with two solid iron bullets, close to six and twelve pounds, but it's a little heavier."

Pars nodded slowly, tidied up the shirt under his half-body armor and nodded to the officer: "I understand, go and do what you should do."

When the officer left, he sighed to the captain of the army on the ship and his adjutant: "As rumored, Ming warships were heavy and fast, and had a huge advantage in the long-distance battle of half a rig."

The information of Mingchuan was known to them, the naval generals stationed in Lima, which made Parce's eyes look worried, and he was uncertain: "Should we continue to pursue?"

The battle situation scared him. If only the Peeta, although their ships were much larger than the Ming ship and more soldiers than the two ships on the other side, it was not difficult to imagine that if they could not get close quickly, they would be bombarded by the artillery of the Ming warships at least six rounds.

Under the six rounds of offensives, there are still a few of their heroic army left. Even if they are on the sidelines, can the remaining soldiers still win?

"Is the captain also a supporter of the Lima Light Gunboat?"

The army sergeant asked this. Since the Ming Xilin came to the naval battle, a voice gradually appeared among the Lima Navy generals, hoping that the warship would improve in the direction of light and heavy artillery, but it was unable to succeed due to huge resistance.

The biggest resistance obviously comes from the current situation between the army and the new and old continents.

"Don't worry, Captain, we have four warships. As long as we survive the first two rounds of artillery fire, we can kill them. It's too late to run away at that time, let alone stone shooting cannons, they are very afraid of this weapon."

"The Ming army has always relied on more fleets than us, and has always fought less with more. Although such artillery has advantages, when there are the same number or more of us, their boats are useless and cannot even break the hull. As long as the infantry is careful, it is enough."

"What's more,... they were also blown by the storm, right? There are only two small islands in the east, and they must be there, and the direction they left is the smaller one."
