Major Anthony Goldstein was convinced by several captains. Yes, the Spaniards could no longer wait for unnecessary purposes. The enemy's turret may only have a dozen artillery guns, and perhaps with the powerful firepower of five warships, it could be a turret that could destroy the enemy.

"So, let's start. Try to destroy the enemy's turret before dark, and then let the landing troops occupy the dock." Major Anthony Goldstein ordered.

"As for orders, Major. Before dark, we can definitely occupy the dock." Several captains said confidently. Just a group of pirates, how powerful can they have!

"Captain Peron, prepare your landing troops. Once we have eliminated the enemy's turret, you must land immediately and occupy their docks." Major Anthony Goldstein looked at the captain officer in Spanish Army uniforms across the face.

"As for orders, Major!" Petal Veron responded.

"You guys say, will the Spaniards come to attack our pier?" Qi Tian asked.

"I don't know whether the enemy will attack our dock. But, Master, you can't stay here now. The battle is about to start!" Zhang Jiawen said.

"Old Zhang, don't worry. Your cannon position was built by me personally and it is very strong. Look, the cement thickness is more than one meter. Even if the Spaniards hold the cannon and bombard the guardrail, it will not hurt us." Qi Tian patted the cement guardrail in front of the cannon position.

"Master General, this is not a question of whether the gun position is protected tightly." Zhang Jiawen was a little anxious, "Nearly ten enemy ships. If a shell comes in, how can I explain to the commander? You can leave quickly!"

Qi Tian was a little bored, but out of respecting the control orders of the Coast Defense Team, he eventually took Qi Yuanshan to leave the dock fort.

I wanted to witness the scene of the confrontation between sailing warships and shore defense turrets in this era and feel the excitement of the Age of Discovery, but it was not realized, which is quite regrettable.

"Far Mountain, in two years, you will grow up, what do you want to do?" Qi Tian turned around and asked.

"Ah?" Qi Yuanshan was stunned and grabbed his forehead, "I haven't thought about it yet!"

"Haha..." Qi Tian smiled, "You should think about it! Two years passed in a flash."

During this period, the age of fifteen or sixteen is already the age of tyrant, which means that you can participate in labor, pay taxes, and undertake corvee labor.

Hanzhou stipulates that a teenager can be admitted to the army at the age of 18. However, most immigrant groups still use the age of 16 as their adult age. Many workshops, farmland, and even merchant ships are filled with many teenagers aged 15 or 16, and even twelve or 13 years old.

When he returned to Jianye City, he found that countless people in the city walked out of the door, gathered near the city gate, and watched towards the dock. Qi Tian shook his head. It seemed that many people were suspicious of the force of Hanzhou.

After entering the city gate, Qi Tian jumped off his horse, took the reins, and slowly walked towards the commander's mansion.

"Hanzhou will win!" A shout suddenly came from the top of the city.

Qi Tian and Qi Yuanshan turned around and looked at the top of the city. A village soldier, holding a musket, shouted loudly to the city: "Hanzhou will win! Hanzhou will be majestic!"

As he shouted, many rural soldiers on the city wall also shouted: "Hanzhou will win! Hanzhou will be majestic!"

"Hanzhou will win! Hanzhou is mighty!" Qi Yuanshan raised his fist and shouted.

Subsequently, more and more people in the city shouted: "Hanzhou will win! Hanzhou will be majestic!"

Finally, the entire Jianye City was filled with warm shouts: "Hanzhou will win! Hanzhou will be majestic!"

"Hanzhou will win! Hanzhou is mighty!" Yu Fukun said softly, then turned around suddenly and said to Cao Xiong: "Great Commander, I Hanzhou, the people's hearts are available!"

Cao Xiong looked at the people shouting outside the window with excitement, and suddenly felt his nose a little sore.

"Old Yu, we must protect all the people of Hanzhou in the future! Let them never be bullied by outsiders!"

Yu Fukun looked at Cao Xiong with an excited expression and nodded solemnly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..." Several muffled cannons sounded.

"Damn Spain is firing in a long fire!" Cao Xiong heard the sound of cannons and immediately identified the 18-pound naval gun.

Major Anthony Goldstein ordered two warships to sail into the harbor first, more than a thousand meters away from the dock, and bombard the dock with 18-pound naval guns.

The shelling took three rounds, and the docks did not have any counterattacks. There were no traces of anyone walking in the telescope, as if it was an abandoned port.

However, Major Anthony Goldstein knew that the other party's turret must be tolerating and waiting for their warships to get closer, just like a few months ago, carrying out a fierce raid on their warships.

Major Anthony Goldstein looked up at the towering mountains on both sides. Fortunately, the enemy did not set up a turret on it. Otherwise, we would not even be able to drive in the harbor.

"Major, Casillis signaled and asked to go further a little further." The lookout reported loudly.

Major Anthony Goldstein hesitated for a moment, nodded, and signaled the flag bearer to send a signal to allow the two warships to go a little further.

"Captain, the distance between the enemy ship is close to 800 meters." An observer reported loudly in the No. 1 Fort.

Zhang Jiawen did not make a sound, and continued to hold up the monocular and observe the Spanish warship.

So far, Spain has only two warships have arrived, and three warships are still wandering at the entrance of the bay. He wants to wait for all five Spanish ships to enter the bay, and then order the No. 2 and No. 3 of the mountains on both sides to block the enemy fleet, and then use the crossfire of the three turrets to bombard the enemy ships.

Two Spanish warships stopped about 800 meters away from the dock, crossed the hull, and started to launch a new round of artillery on the dock with numerous artillery artillery on the side.

The gunners of Fort No. 1 looked at Zhang Jiawen expectantly, hoping to hear the order to counterattack.

But Zhang Jiawen still said nothing, and even his posture holding the monocular lens did not change.

A few months ago, although he caught the Spanish warship off guard, he was just a match for Xiao Chuang. This time he decided to play the big one, which could at least severely damage or sink two or three warships, so that the military and civilians of the Hanzhou Province could see the methods of the coastal defense brigade.

"Major, the dock has not fought back." The observer reported loudly. Major Anthony Goldstein frowned, and his arm holding the monocular lens showed several veins.

At this time, the two sudden warships in front of them did not send any signal to the flagship, and rushed forward for a while, and the distance between them was less than 700 meters.

"B2, B4, two 18-pound cannons fought back!" Zhang Jiawen ordered in the No. 1 Fort.

"Boom! Boom!" Two cannons fired, and two huge water columns rose from the Spanish warship ahead.

"Major, the enemy's turrets fought back. It was an 18-pound gun! Two!"

Major Anthony Goldstein nodded, probably afraid that our warships would be too close to them, which would pose a greater threat to their turret.

"Order them to advance further and attack enemy turrets by mobile artillery!"

After receiving the signal, the two Spanish warships in front of them began to take the S line and slowly approached the dock.

"Four gun positions opened fire at C1, C2, C3, C4!" Zhang Jiawen ordered.

Immediately, four 12-pound cannons began to bombard the gradually approaching Spanish warships.

Although two Spanish warships were maneuvering, the gunners of the Hanzhou Coast Defense Team trained to shoot no less than 100 shells in the waters of the Harbor, and were extremely familiar with the range of the shooting range.

In the past ten minutes, two Spanish warships have been shot more than ten times.

"Maybe, they are all these heavy artillery!" Major Anthony Goldstein decided to rush forward with three warships left, and quickly knocked off the enemy's artillery with more than a hundred artillery pieces of five warships.

"Three enemy ships have come in!" The observer of Fort No. 1 reported loudly.

"Ding 1, Ding 2, Ding 3, Ding 4, four gun positions opened fire!"

Four 8-pound cannons quickly joined the bombardment sequence.

"All artillery concentrated on bombarding the two warships in front of the assault!"

A total of ten artillery pieces were aimed at the most sudden "Casilis". With a volley, three shells hit its ship's kaji, hitting the side of the wood to splash.

"Replace all 12-pound cannons with chain bullets!" Zhang Jiawen ordered. This time, a warship must be left behind.

"Major, Casillis was shot several times... still traveling freely!" The observer kept informing the situation of the two sudden warships in front. Major Anthony Goldstein had led the other three warships slowly approaching the dock, and bombarded the opponent's cannon with several artillery on the bow.

A few more roars came from the dock, and several chains flew towards the bow of the "Casillis".

"Click!" With a sound, a mast near the bow was hit by a chain bounce, and instantly broke into two pieces. The hanging sail fell crookedly on the part of the ship.

"Oh, damn!" Captain Dario Segovia, the captain of the Casillis, cursed and immediately ordered the sailors to quickly put away the fallen sails. At the same time, he ordered the sailors to adjust the sails of the ship and the ship kaji to prepare to retreat for a distance. If the enemy hits several other masts or sails, the "Casillis" may be unable to move and become a target for the opponent's turret.

"Good fight!" Zhang Jiawen praised, "The 12-pound cannon continue to attack the warship with chain bullets!"

"Captain, there are three more warships on the enemy who are forcing me!"

"Don't care about them! Continue to bombard the two warships before the assault!"

"There hasn't been a signal from the No. 1 battery?" Liao Meng turned around and asked in the No. 3 battery on the hillside on the right side of the bay.

"No. 1 Battery, no signal was issued." The observer reported.

"You're going to miss it, I'll cut you down!" Liao Meng saw that five Spanish warships had sailed into the bay. The No. 3 Fortress he was on his side and the No. 2 Fortress opposite could completely block the enemy's retreat. If he had good luck, it would be impossible to wipe out the enemy.

"Crack", the mast of the Kasilis ship was hit by a chain bounce, and it slanted crookedly on the part of the ship, and several sails fell down weakly.

A burst of cheers broke out in the No. 1 Fortress, the enemy ship with sails stopped in the harbor and stopped moving!

In an instant, the gunners in the fort turned the guns one after another, and concentrated on bombarding the unmovable warship, trying to sink it.

"Damn!" Major Anthony Goldstein rushed over with three warships, then crossed the hull, bombarded enemy turrets with numerous side guns, trying to attract some firepower for the "Casillis".

"Send a signal! Order No. 2 and No. 3 to open fire!" Zhang Jiawen said decisively when the time was ripe.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The roar of artillery suddenly sounded on both sides of the mountain, and then, more than a dozen huge water columns rose near the Spanish warships.

"Major, there are enemy turrets on both sides of the harbor!" the observer shouted loudly.
Chapter completed!
