The captain of the Silverfish didn't even know what was happening, and was directing the gunners to fire fiercely at the Flying Shark, when he suddenly saw a sudden fire in the area where the enemy ship had sailed, and it almost spread to the stern of their ship.

Seeing that he had avoided the sea of fire before he could be happy, he saw that the Lina had fallen into the sea of fire, the sailors on the ship shouted and ran in all directions, and the helmsman quickly deviated from the course and did not dare to chase into the sea of fire again, and turned to the right to avoid the Ming ship, which made the pressure in his heart double.

He was already wondering how this farce would end.

Without the assistance of the Lina, the forty or so sailors on the Silverfish alone could not take the huge Ming ship, and it was difficult to gain an advantage in the broadside battle, but it was embarrassing that they did not expect that this Ming ship would be about the same length as Clark and sail faster than the Caravel before the battle.

The biggest problem before him now is that it is difficult to win the battle, and if he wants to withdraw from the battlefield, he is not fast as the enemy ships.

This made him look at Clark's ship, which was already difficult to see in the distant sea, and if he could escape anywhere, he would definitely win.

The Santa Caterina is a large Clark sailing ship with blackened hull and four mainmasts and a bow mast, which has been in service under the Portuguese royal family for seven years, and was the first short-distance ship to connect Lisbon and the Mediterranean, equipped with more than 30 large oars on both sides of the belly, and is a veritable giant merchant ship.

With the rise of the Ming navy, not only did the huge investment of many Portuguese nobles in East Asia go down the drain, but also shook the authority of their fleet in the Indian Ocean.

In order to enter the battlefield, the red oars on the belly of this 37-meter-long sea monster were removed, the lower deck was equipped with eighteen gun emplacements, eight slalom guns on the left and right sides of the upper ship, and the auxiliary sail that can be removed in case of strong winds was added under the mainsail, and the most advanced tools such as sail rope ladders were applied, and the bow height was further reduced to facilitate long-distance sailing.

But now that he escaped to the vicinity of the Caterina with the Ming ship, he would definitely be scolded by the great nobles of that ship after the battle, which would damage his self-esteem.

Dole

While he was still weighing the pros and cons, he was reminded by two soft noises and frightened shouts from his subordinates, which were the sound of the crossbow machine projecting the pegline onto their ship, and as the pirates on the Flying Shark ship shouted with all their horns and turned the winch, the two ships that were already close together drew closer, followed by the hook that had not yet been thrown by manpower on the spike line.

Those disgusting-looking Asian faces were close at hand

The Silverfish's face was forever frozen in his shock as he looked at the Flying Shark Ship, and a lead shot accurately hit the eye between the wide iron helmet and the steel plate armor throat guard, from the right eye to the back of the head.

On the other side of the trajectory, more than ten steps away, Yang Ce and his subordinate pirates dropped the bird gun, held the gunpowder bundle to give orders to his subordinates, and threw the gunpowder bundle towards the Caravel ship in the process of approaching.

Most of the weapons he had trained in the lecture hall here were useless, there were no rockets, no grenades, no mines, and no large-caliber heavy artillery, and even this simple gunpowder bundle was fifty percent less powerful than that made in Nanyang, although it looked the same, but this was not the kind of gunpowder bundle that was prefabricated by fragments and exploded in all directions of the Nanyang Army, but only a cannon battle that could spray lead pellets from the front and back.

The experienced pirates, after throwing out three bundles of gunpowder with their leader, hid themselves behind the side of the ship at the moment when the two ships met, and no one could control where the two ends of the gunpowder bundles were going when they exploded, and if one was facing them, they were just within the range of the scatterers.

But at the same time, the sailors on the Silverfish also threw several large objects onto their ship, which shattered them when they landed, scaring the pirates so much that it was impossible to pick them up and throw them back, and several of the nearest pirates quickly turned around and turned their butts at the thing.

The explosion rang out on the Caravel ship, and the pirates noticed that they had thrown tiles and grease onto their decks.

The gunpowder bundle imitated by the phoenix was not killed enough due to the problem of gunpowder proportion, but the smoke was very heavy, and it was too late to feel that compared with the Ming people, the Portuguese threw this time full of friendliness, and several flying torches dragged the flames through the gunpowder smoke and threw them at them.

The flames rose, Sun Liu had already grabbed the Ming army's standard saber and stepped on the board and flew out, and the people rushed into the smoke of gunpowder to slash left and right, and the shout hit the ears of the pirates on the ship.

"Don't worry about the fire yet, one counts as one, and all of them are captured"

The torches and grease will not be able to do much damage to the sturdy planks for a while, and it is unlikely that their oil will directly burn the escaped Caravel ship, which Sun Liu has always remembered, and if it returns, they will be in danger, so it is necessary to kill all the enemies on this ship before the other party is clear.

A group of pirates who followed Sun Liu jumped onto the Caravel ship from three planks and sail ropes, but Yang Ce failed to squeeze into the crowded planks, so he simply commanded the boatman to extinguish the fire while directing the boatman to extinguish the fire while taking the remaining four gunners to fire a volley at the place where the enemy gathered at the bow and tail of the enemy ship.

The battle process was much faster than they imagined, the three cannons exploded on the deck, causing more casualties to the enemy than the guns and guns combined, the enemy on the deck was killed in a blink of an eye, some soldiers who dropped their weapons on the deck and surrendered were also wantonly slashed and killed by Sun Liu, and the rest fled into the lower deck, and a few people were forced to jump into the sea.

The fire on the Baihu gradually extinguished, Yang Ce saw another enemy ship emitting black smoke and drifting away, his heart relaxed slightly, and he also followed onto the deck of the Silver Fish, and took a look at Sun Liu, who had just come up from the cabin, and saw the boatswain wearing a brand-new but not very well-fitting cuirass carrying a sailor axe belonging to the Portuguese and nodded.

The pirates who came out from behind dragged out several of the corpses of sailors who had been stripped of their underwear from the cabin and threw them into the sea.

Then boxes of baggage were lifted onto the blood-stained deck.

Armor, weapons, gunpowder, cannonballs, and a small amount of pasta and water.

There was not much loot on the frigate, and only the sailors carried it with them found some possessions, but they were still pitiful.

The most valuable were five small-caliber bronze cannons of different lengths and thicknesses, and four small Francophone swivel guns on the side of the ship, one of which was put on the bilge as ballast, and was also picked up by the pirates.

Sun Liu and Yang Ce glanced at each other, and they both saw the dissatisfaction in each other's eyes, and said, "You know a lot, can you grab that pot-bellied boat?"

Yang Ce's gaze swept over the dead and wounded sailors around him and shook his head slowly, he only had less than fifty of his subordinates left, and only forty of them could continue to fight, which was not enough for another big naval battle, especially against the large and large Clark ship.

What's more, that Clark was even bigger in shape than the one he was familiar with in the Lecture Hall.

"The hundred ships are fast, first load all the cannons on the repair ship, follow him far behind, send some people to sail this ship along the coast to the west of the big city, we also have two flying sharks outside, as long as we can contact one, we can grab the big ship."

Yang Ce slowly bowed his head and said to Sun Liu: "They can't hide in the port all the time, as long as they go to sea, we can catch him." ”
