Bang!

The three-masted gunboat, which was inferior in size, faced the rushing Spanish galleon, and continued to shell very calmly, and one after another large or small shells flew towards the Spanish galleon.

Burst!

The Spanish galleon's canvas had borne the brunt of the blow, having been torn out of holes, but the mainmast was lucky enough to have not been hit head-on by the shells.

It's just that as the distance between the two battleships closes, the pressure is undoubtedly on the side of the three-masted gunboat.

"Lord Commander, if we go on like this, we will join them sooner or later, or we will have to flee with all our strength now!" An experienced subordinate affirmed.

Qiao Yifeng's brows furrowed, and he was facing a dilemma.

The other party was obviously rushing with all his strength to engage in a broadside battle, and he was now either fleeing with all his strength or preparing to fight. If you want to continue to play with each other with the lightness of the hull, this is undoubtedly playing with fire and self-immolation, once the two ships get close, there must be a rope hook to tie his ship, and then he will fall into a more passive situation.

What to do?

Qiao Yifeng didn't know whether to flee or fight, he was in a dilemma, but someone suddenly squinted his eyes and looked at the southeast, which undoubtedly caught his attention.

Thanks to the monocular telescope in his hand, he can see farther than ordinary people, but don't underestimate this skill, which can sometimes determine the success or failure of a battle.

He suddenly put down his binoculars and gave an order with excitement: "All the soldiers listen to the order and prepare to face the battle!" ”

"Yes!"

Everyone vaguely guessed something, and immediately responded excitedly.

Under José's bewildered gaze, the three-masted gunboat met him. I thought that the three-masted gunboat was going to pass them, and they were ready to hook the prey with a rope, but the prey took the initiative to hit them.

Bang!

The bow of the three-masted gunboat struck diagonally into the ribs of the Spanish galleon, and the two ships were only a few meters apart. Both sides are scrambling for this most precious time, frantically strafing the decks of enemy ships, vying for this most critical initiative.

The Spanish warriors and recruited pirates were very brave, and one by one the iron hooks were thrown from the Spanish galleons, hung on the three-masted gunboats, and jumped onto the ships with the help of the iron hooks.

Bang! Bang!

Guanghaiwei has a very high combat quality, which is injected with the blood of Leizhouwei. In the face of the Spanish and Southeast Asian pirates who took the initiative to swing over, they responded calmly and methodically annihilated the enemy.

They did not rush to attack, but defended in an orderly manner, firing at these enemies who came on board under the cover of shields or objects. With the advantage of the rifle, this side has stronger firepower.

Don't underestimate this advantage, when a dense number of bullets fly, the Spaniards will naturally suffer more casualties. Over time, the Spanish casualties increased, which in turn widened the firepower between them.

"Listen, everyone! The Combined Convoy is coming soon, and as long as we hold them back, we'll be able to eat these damn Spaniards!" Qiao Yifeng participated in the battle with a spear in his hand, and at the same time threw out something that boosted morale.

Everyone naturally knows that there is also a powerful fleet accompanying them this time. If they do come to their aid, with the firepower of those three-masted gunboats, it will not be a problem to eat this ship at all.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Guanghaiwei appeared even more heroic, and fired their guns to allow them to shoot more quickly, resulting in a huge firepower advantage on this side, and wiped out all the Spaniards and Southeast Asian pirates who jumped on board.

"Damn it!"

José was supposed to take his men on board, but as soon as his men boarded the ship, they were shot and fell in a pool of blood, and he himself had to dodge.

This is often the case with the world, where what you have worked so hard to find out is not what you want. Even if it was a hand-to-board battle, he couldn't eat this hard bone, but the opponent's strength was stronger.

"Oh no! Yes...... There are Ming warships coming towards us, the same scale as this one! But at this moment, one of his subordinates came over in a panic and reported.

"Retreat!"

José gritted his teeth and had to avoid it, even though he was the enemy.

If that's it, then the war will be over. After all, although Qiao Yifeng has an advantage on his side, if he wants to counterattack Spain, it may be difficult to gnaw this hard bone.

Even Qiao Yifeng, at this time, he had to give up the idea of taking this Spanish galleon.

After all, judging from the personnel and combat power of this group of Spaniards, the price he has to pay for Guanghaiwei is too great, and his Guanghaiwei is not Leizhouwei after all, and he does not have that invincible posture.

Bang!

But at this moment, the deck of the Spanish galleon visibly felt a vibration, and an unusual movement came from the cabin.

The Spanish galleon was designed to perfection, making use of every space in the hull. For example, the jug will be stored at the bottom of the hull, and since the food needs to be stored at the bottom temperature, it will also be stored in the bottom warehouse, the galley will be next to the water tank, the wine will be placed in the middle storehouse, and the soldier's quarters will be placed in the front, and the captain's room and treasure house will be in the back.

In the pursuit of rationality and efficiency at the same time, the hull design inevitably formed a fixed mode of thinking.

After several exploits, the monkey was already in the position of the general flag at the age of sixteen, and was even transferred from Leizhouwei to Guanghaiwei by Qiao Yifeng. After the broadside battle began, he jumped on the Spanish galleon with two men.

This once cowardly little kid has lost the slightest fear after the baptism of blood. Even he already had a clear goal, wanting to be able to become a thousand households of the Ming Dynasty at the age of eighteen.

But I don't know if it's because he's small in stature, or if the Spaniards are too arrogant. He easily reached the powder room next to the mainmast, and removed the powder keg, spilling it on the floor and all the way to the nearby wine storehouse.

Zizi ......

From the first kill, the monkey knew he was a lucky one. He ignited the gunpowder and fled, and although the powder magazine did not produce an effective explosion, it caused the area to burn rapidly.

The black powder was accompanied by billowing black smoke, which made the boatman inside escape in a hurry, but whether it was a Spanish boatman or a Southeast Asian boatman, his face became like black charcoal.

"Firefighting! Fire! ”

Jose and the Spaniards immediately panicked, and if the ship really burned, they would all become roast chickens, and the whole ship would be burned in flames.

"Attack! Shoot! ”

Qiao Yifeng saw that the hull of the ship was obviously in chaos, his eyes immediately flashed with a bright light, and he immediately issued an order to strengthen the attack, already wanting to eat this Spanish galleon.

He no longer cared about the teaching that "the human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant", he only knew to take advantage of this opportunity to seize the Spanish galleon.
