This was probably the best thing Anthony could think of right now, but he had forgotten that most of the speedboats in his fleet, which were responsible for covering the big ships, were not in their fleet at this time, but had been sent to watch out for the strange dhows of the Chinese pirates.

And while the fight was in full swing here, not too far away, the Seawolf's flying clipper had also begun to exchange fire with the speedboat fleet sent by the Spaniards.

As soon as the two sides fought, the Spaniards found themselves as a herd of sheep to be slaughtered at will, for they found that the dhows of these Chinese pirates were some formidable opponents.

These ships were easy to sail and very nimble to sail, and they were much faster than theirs, and they were more than twice as fast as they were, and when they fought, the big ship at the head did not become their main target, but the fast ships of these pirates took their speedboats as the target of hunting.

The other side pinned down the Spaniard's big ship with two boats, but the other four boats rushed straight to these Spaniards' speedboats, and the number of guns on their ships was not small, the firepower was quite fierce, and the pirates were also quite powerful, and they fought fiercely and accurately.

Completely contrary to the fierce battle on the other side, several flying clippers of sea wolves here are completely pressing these Spanish speedboats to beat up.

They relied on their own advantages, and they bombarded and directly collided, and the Spaniards who fought as soon as they fought were looking for teeth all over the ground, and the small fleet was torn apart at once, and several speedboats barely lasted much time, and they were wounded and sunk one after another.

A few speedboats, barely fighting back, were slaughtered by these sea wolf clippers, leaving only a few dozen sailors on the Spanish speedboats, desperately struggling in the sea water to call for help.

And these flying clippers immediately turned their bows, concentrated the firepower on board, and began to pound the big Spanish ship.

A flying clipper is probably not the opponent of the Spanish ship, but if six flying clippers attack the Spanish ship at the same time, then the Spanish ship will become a complete tragedy.

What's more, the day before yesterday, when the ship was sent to Heping Island to rescue the Spanish infantry, it was attacked by the cannon fire of the Heping Island Battery, and it was already wounded.

Today, when it came with a few speedboats to fend off the clippers of these Chinese pirates, it was first pinned down by two enemy clippers and engaged in an artillery duel with them, and then besieged by all the enemy ships, whose artillery fire was also very fierce, and when they approached, they shelled them again and again.

The Spanish ship itself is not a professional gunboat, but an armed merchant ship, and there are only more than ten guns on board, so the firepower is not very strong.

Although the guns on their ships also fought back, after a rapid artillery battle, the guns of this ship were dumbed one after another, and the Spanish sailors on board also suffered heavy casualties, and the sail ropes were cut a lot, and one of the masts was even cut through a large gap, only to break directly.

The sails of their ships were torn apart by the shells, and the speed of the ship slowed down, and the captain of the ship was so frightened that he ordered the ship to turn the rudder and flee back to their fleet for refuge.

But a few flying clippers, under the leadership of Luo Xianbin, would give them a chance to escape, and immediately leaned up, blocking the route of its escape, and the two boats simply clamped it directly, sandwiching it in it, and there was no possibility of escape at all.

Moreover, the guns of this Spanish ship were basically dumb, and the sailors were also killed and wounded heavily, and there was almost no strength to fight back at this time.

The two sea wolves' ships approached and began to prepare for the seizure of the ship, and the sailors of the Spanish ship were also anxious at this moment, and rushed to the deck under the command of the captain, drew their knives, axes, and arquebuses, and prepared to resist the pirates taking the ship.

But as soon as they showed their heads on the deck, the ships of the surrounding sea wolves were facing them with a small cannon, and the sea wolves produced their own small Fran cannons, all of which were installed on the side of the ship, and the operation was very convenient.

After a few shots, it was like a hailstorm on the deck of the Spanish ship, and many sailors were suddenly overturned on the deck, and let out a scream like a ghost crying wolf.

There were sea wolves screaming that the surrenderers would not be killed, and the short-barreled flintlock rifles of the sailors kept firing at the Spanish ship, and the Spaniards could not raise their heads at all, and even the captain was wounded and fell on the deck.

At this time, the Spaniards were completely out of line, they couldn't run away, they couldn't beat and couldn't fight, they were surrounded and beaten, and at this time the hooks and rods had hooked their ships, and even the two boats used long poles to pick up soft ladders and hung them on the side of their ships, and more flying tiger claws were thrown onto the side of the Spanish ship, and the hooks were firmly hung on the side of the ship.

The soldiers screamed, and began to climb towards the Spanish ship with a single knife in their hands, seeing that the matter had come to this point, there was no suspense, and the wounded Spanish captain lay on the deck, looking at the only remaining sailors on the deck, knowing that there was no point in continuing to resist.

If they continue to resist, he has no doubt that these Chinese pirates will definitely kill them completely after boarding the ship, even if he doesn't want to live, those crew members don't want to be so desperate, some of them have already lost their guys, and they are starting to clamor for surrender and pull down.

So he could only close his eyes in pain, ordered his attendants to hoist the white flag, announced his surrender, and asked a Chinese interpreter on board to tell the pirates not to kill people after getting on the ship, to ensure their safety, and that he was willing to pay for himself and the ship.

So in a short time, the Spanish ship was dropped its flag and sails, the ship was completely controlled by the sea wolf, and the sailors on board were tied with ropes, thrown into a cabin and locked up, and those who were killed were immediately thrown into the sea, and after the wounded were examined, the lightly wounded were bandaged and rescued, and the seriously injured were not bothered, and they were thrown into the sea with a knife.

One boat was left to watch the captured Spanish armed cargo ship, and the rest of the Flyer clippers lowered their two sampans and began to salvage the Spanish sailors who had fallen overboard, escorted them to the Spanish ship, held them for a while, and then towed them back to Chicken Coop Bay.

The rest of the Feizi clippers immediately began to turn their course and pounced on the side of the main battlefield.

It was only at this time that Anthony noticed the condition of the speedboats he had sent in the distance, and when he found that the speedboats and the armed cargo ship were all wiped out at this moment, his heart sank suddenly.

It was only at this time that he realized that he might not be able to win this battle today, after losing these speedboats, his fleet would lose the least cover, although their ships were fierce, but the hungry tigers could not withstand the wolves, not to mention that these pirates were very warlike, and they could not easily repel them.

If he continues to fight, the situation will be very dangerous, and once they are encircled, they will lose their advantage and become sheep to the slaughter.

And just now under his order, the fleet had begun to turn to the fleet that was attacking the pirates, and now the two sides had begun to entangle, and he also saw that among the flotillas of the enemy ships, many small boats began to sail out of many small boats, and many of these small boats were rocking or paddling, quickly under the cover of the larger ships, and pounced on them.

Although he didn't see that these boats were loaded with a lot of firewood and grass, and they didn't look like fireboats, he didn't dare to take them too lightly, and hurriedly ordered the boats to find a way to kill them and not let them stick them.

But he made this decision a little too late, by this time the two sides had begun to entangle, the artillery battle was still going on, the distance had been reduced to a few dozen yards, and some of the small boats were almost on their boats.

Once the boats were within a few dozen yards, they were in the dead end of the big ship's guns, and if they wanted to blast them off with the cannons, there was no possibility but to use the small guns on the side of the ship to block them, and they could only rely on their arquebuses and some incendiary materials to attack the boats.

Of course, there were also slower-moving boats, which had not yet been attached, and the Spanish sailors immediately realized the threat of these small boats to them, and hurriedly switched to blocking them, and replaced them with scattered bombardments.

The sea wolf tribes on these small boats erected wooden shields on the ship, and pulled up wooden baffles at the side of the ship to cover the sailors on board.

It was difficult for the muskets to hit the sailors on these ships, and the scattered shells of the cannons caused them great damage, and four or five small boats were immediately shot and sunk in the sea, and the sea wolves on the ships also suffered heavy casualties, and the sea water was quickly dyed red, and there were a large number of shipwreckage wood chips and some corpses floating on the water, and some of the wounded struggled in the water, swimming to their own ships nearby.

But at this time, the sea wolf tribe was red-eyed, and rushed forward regardless of casualties, and dozens of ships desperately began to besiege these Spanish ships.

There were still a few speedboats left in the Spanish fleet, and they also hurried to block them desperately, but in the face of the superior enemy, the resistance of these boats seemed so weak, and one after another was sunk and destroyed by the fire of the sea wolves, which was equivalent to stripping the Spaniards completely.

"Get out of the fight! Pass my order, and all ships immediately turn and withdraw from the battle! Don't get stuck with them! Anthony was completely anxious at this time, realizing that if he didn't leave, it would be a big trouble.

Then the Spanish ships began to turn again, and the sailors on board climbed the mast with a shout, and began to adjust the sails and ropes, and the helmsman began to pull the rudder to adjust the course.
