Of course, pirates are pirates after all, and there are conflicts of interest between them.
As the most powerful pirate in this area, Ma Dalian has more than 40 ships and more than a thousand men under his command. Therefore, he was regarded as the temporary leader by the bandits and presided over this operation.
As the leader of the alliance, Ma Dalian naturally wanted to grab the biggest piece of fat, and the pirate leaders below him also had their own ideas and wanted to eat a big bite.
No, even when they sent out troops to plunder the dock area, conflicts almost broke out between them.
Fortunately, their desire for huge wealth prevented these pirate leaders from fighting on the spot.
The bright moon became much dimmer under the cover of dark clouds. Ma Dalian was already drinking very well. He estimated the time and then ordered the whole army to move forward.
Naturally, it is impossible for those pirate leaders to stay here. Who knows if Ma Dalian will turn against him soon?
It would be safer to return to your own ship.
After the dozen or so pirate leaders returned to their ships, and after a while of shouting and cursing, hundreds of ships began to raise their sails and sail slowly toward the dock area along with the sea breeze.
Even veteran pirates would not dare to drive at high speed in the offshore area at night. Who knows where there are reefs?
The light on the sea is dim, and it feels like you can't see your fingers. If you are not careful, the boat will hit the rocks and the boat will be broken, and your life will be lost.
But when they approached the dock area, they were a little stunned.
Why are there so many bright beams of light shooting from far away?
With the knowledge of these pirates, they would never have imagined that there would be such an artifact as a halogen lamp in the world.
Therefore, some pirate ships subconsciously slowed down for fear of falling into some trap.
On the contrary, the leader of the pirate alliance, Ma Dalian, was drunk at this time and was extremely courageous. With an order, more than forty pirate ships under his command rushed towards the beam of light.
Seeing Ma Da's face rushing forward, although they were a little afraid of these unknown light pillars, when the remaining pirates thought of the mountains of gold and silver piled in the dock area, their previous fear disappeared.
"Follow up! Keep up! I'm afraid of getting caught!"
A pirate leader began to encourage his men. After all, most of his pirates were just fishermen before and could not pay taxes, so they had to go to sea and become pirates. Compared with the older pirates, they were much worse in all aspects. .
"Notify the management committee that a pirate ship has been spotted."
At this time, Sun Xuebin, who was about to go back to sleep after a round of inspection, happened to bump into him.
Under the illumination of several searchlights, those pirate ships had no possibility of hiding.
Suddenly, those beams of light stopped moving and shone fiercely on him, causing the pirate leaders on the pirate ship who were covered by the beams of light to panic.
But at this time, greed always outweighed fear. When they thought of the gold and silver in the dock area, they were no longer afraid. After shouting to the many pirates offering rewards, the pirate ships not only did not flinch, but many of them stretched out their rowing poles. Paddling hard, speeding up, and rushing towards the dock area.
At this moment, the eighteen artillery pieces in the six forts located in front of the dock area began to fire one by one.
Since the terrain in the dock area is not considered dangerous, the original plan of the Provisional Management Committee was to place six heavy fortress cannons in each fort, for a total of thirty-six heavy fortress cannons!
Once the thirty-six heavy fortress cannons are deployed, even if a Franco fleet wants to rush over, they will be beaten to pieces.
However, because the industrial team is too busy, there is no time to develop any heavy fortress guns. Therefore, for the time being, only 12-pound Napoleon Army guns are deployed on these forts, and the number of guns has been reduced by half than planned.
But even so, when the eighteen artillery pieces fired one after another, the shells fell from the sky and hit the sea, stirring up water columns. The pirates were so shocked that they couldn't help but curse the spies.
"Didn't you say you were defenseless? What the hell is this?"
"Youngest Huang! I fucked your ancestor!"
........
But having said that, those artillerymen were all chasing ducks. For the first time in actual combat, they were not only panicked, but also a little unsteady in their hands.
In addition, those pirate ships were in a mobile state, so the hit rate of the first wave of bombardment was pitifully low.
Eighteen rounds failed to hit a single target.
This almost made Sun Xuebin, who was supervising the formation, scold his mother.
However, several Chuanzhong officers in charge of the artillery were helpless. Even if they went into battle, they might not be able to do better.
After all, no one has ever been exposed to artillery before. Now that we are all students, we can only learn from scratch.
However, according to the speed of the pirate ships rushing all the way, the artillery can only fire fifteen rounds at most, and those pirate ships are almost ashore.
And judging from the current level of artillery, ten rounds of artillery might be able to hit a few hits.
Fortunately, at this time, Fang Xiaoyue came.
There was no choice but to come, the pirates were all coming. Even the industrial group, logistics group, and other time-travelers who did not directly participate in the battle, all issued Thunder 1646 rifles.
Apart from anything else, if the forts and infantry along the coast cannot stop the pirates from invading, then they will have no choice but to get through the blockades.
Everyone knows that those pirates must not be allowed to rush into the hinterland of the dock area, otherwise the damage caused will return the dock area to the time when they just crossed over in a short period of time.
In that case, most of the two months of hard work will be in vain.
Regarding artillery shooting, Fang Xiaoyue had not put much effort into studying it.
It's just that after developing the artillery, as a designer, he needs to fire a few shots himself, test it, then make improvements, and then test the firing effect.
As a result, he was probably the person who fired the most cannons in the entire dock area.
Even those artillerymen would not be able to catch up with him in a short period of time.
So after understanding that the current situation was not good, he tried to register gunnery skills on the digital skill registration form, and it turned out to be successful.
Now that the artillery skills were successfully digitized, Fang Xiaoyue did not have time to grieve over the 500 destiny points, but instead raised the artillery skills to level 10 in one go.
Fortunately, the knowledge involved in this artillery skill is actually not too much. Compared with various data calculations, it relies more on massive experience.
If he were to switch to Western medicine, and skills such as Chinese medicine could be raised to level 10 in one go, Fang Xiaoyue would almost be burned into a fool by the massive amount of knowledge that was directly poured into his mind, given Fang Xiaoyue's current physical condition.
But if gunnery is level 10, it will be much easier.
Fang Xiaoyue just frowned for a while and then returned to normal.
"Let me do it."
Fang Xiaoyue, who had already arrived at a fort, stepped forward and replaced an artilleryman.
