The artillery battle was extremely intense. Both sides did not give in. The Gaul army was already extremely depressed. They actually found that the equipment advantage that they were proud of had disappeared.
The enemy's artillery shells were a nightmare for the fleet.
However, there was no need to destroy the cannons of the Gaul warships because the forts were built in a hurry and were not very stable. As long as the shells of the Gaul army kept falling on the sides of the forts, the cannons could be directly blown up or collapsed, burying the people inside alive.
"Destroy all these foreign warships into scrap metal!”
Baldy Li was an old gunner of the Huai Army. He had not read much, but he just wanted to kill a few more foreign devils. In the past, even if he used bronze cannons, he had also fought against the Gauls, not to mention such good cannons.
"What is it? Baldy, what did you say?"
Lime fell from the roof from time to time, making it difficult for the deputy cannoneer Wang Dexing to open his eyes. In a daze, he saw Baldy Li's mouth moving, but his eardrums had been temporarily deaf from the loud cannon sound.
"Motherf * cker, get lost!"
Baldy Li saw a group of Gaul soldiers beginning to rush up the mountain. He pushed Wang Dexing away and began to adjust the position of the cannon.
"Boom!"
A cannonball exploded accurately in the middle of the group of Gaul soldiers, throwing large pieces of limbs into the air.
A little further away, more Gaul soldiers were lying on the ground and wailing.
The shrapnel and steel balls in the shells mercilessly hit their bodies, or stayed in their flesh and blood. Some people could not die for the time being, but the pain they suffered made them want to see God immediately.
Seeing the power of this cannon, the artillery could not help but cheer.
"Boom!"
However, a loud bang came from above, and the entire cannon position shook. Large chunks of cement fell, burying seven to eight cannoneers and auxiliary soldiers inside. Only a few survived.
"Da da!"
The unique sound of the Gatling gun firing rang out as it began to harvest the fish that had escaped the net. In order to defend the entire Yingzhou, it was naturally impossible to only defend Jilong. The other few fortresses naturally had to have troops left.
There were only about 6,000 land troops left here. When the coastal defense cannons in other places were repaired, they would have more mobile troops.
" Yuan Wu " and " Yuan Kai " were only old-fashioned gunboats with wooden shells. They were not even covered with iron sheets. They were no match for the Lagarisonia. After a few rounds of artillery fire, they were injured and retreated.
"This can't go on. Listen to my command now! If I say we'll attack that ship, we'll attack that ship!"
Zhong Jin's face was now covered in dust. His leg had been hit by a shrapnel and he could not stand up at all. He kept gesturing.
Many of the emplacement had already been destroyed by the cannons of the Gaul army, and many of the observers had died.
Seeing his actions, an auxiliary soldier picked up the indicator flag on the ground and rushed out, starting to command according to Zhong Jin's instructions.
After a round of salvo.
Several cannonballs landed on the front of the Gallo-Lanxi army's " Lutin " gunboat. The mast fell down, and the vicinity of the main cannon was in a mess. The " Lutin " gunboat was already covered in injuries, and it retreated with a flag signal.
"F * ck that big one, f * ck it hard!”
Another few rounds of volleys.
Amid the constant explosions, the Nieli cruiser was hit one after another, and the bullets sent pieces of flesh flying.
Then, with a bang, an armor-piercing bullet hit the boiler. In a series of explosions, the Nieli was on the verge of collapse. Having lost its power, it retreated by inertia. It was only a matter of time before it died at the bottom of the sea.
At this time, the Baya and Lagarisonia had already begun to notice the situation here and began to exert their strength.
A few consecutive rounds of artillery fire suppressed the firepower of the coastal defense artillery. With the support of several other warships, more soldiers of the Gaul army began to board, and the soldiers gradually gained a foothold.
The artillery battle lasted for an entire day. The coastal defense artillery was completely suppressed, leaving only a few small-caliber cannons that were constantly moving. They were no longer a threat to the warships, so they could only turn their targets to the army.
"These soldiers are too despicable. Are those small explosives?”
Captain Martel was very depressed. With the help of the cannons, he led his team to charge a few times, but they were unable to break through the position in front of them.
Not only did the other side dig trenches, but they also used rocks as a barrier. They also threw out things with handles. Those things did not explode with much power, but the pieces scattered inside really made them suffer.
Especially at the beginning, when he relied on his traditional combat experience to charge in a row, it was simply sending him to his death.
However, they quickly learned their lesson and began to spread out and move slowly.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:082420182:56PM
