"Six kilometers away, the enemy is attacking! The number, seven Brigentine, four quarters of speed, is expected to encounter in 15 minutes! ”

Henna's voice fluttered down against the sea breeze.

Lorraine stood at the bow of the Butterfly Flower, holding the hideous narwhal in her hand, squinting at the saltiness of the wind and the water.

The closer the battle became, he could already feel his blood boiling.

The Trojan fleet reverted back to the Broken Fleet, with seven Brigentine ships lined up in a neat A-line formation, led by tuna and hurricanes, with Cod, Showers, Cattail and Clover spread out on both wings, wrapping the Butterfly Flower in the center of the formation.

They were all familiar comrades-in-arms of Lorraine, and they were his partners who could deliver his back with confidence.

They have only one goal, that is, the general flagship of the Desay Chamber of Commerce, the fifth-class Galen-type destroyer, and the sea monster in the offshore business circle, the Reindeer.

Lorraine knew that no amount of mastery of gunnery would allow Brigentine's nine-pounder cannon to shatter the reindeer's heavy hull, and that the red-haired sultan's clumsy and old hull, despite its firepower, did not pose a real threat to the reindeer.

Victory can only be exchanged for blood.

He prepared a generous gift for Viren, and the Butterfly Blossom gave up all its guns, and a whole two hundred sailors gathered in the small cabin, sharpening their knives and shouting for battle.

That's why Lorraine needed the red-haired Sultan to entangle the reindeer's firepower and attention.

He was ready to forcibly take overboard, forcibly board the ship, fight the Butterfly Flower to be damaged and sunk, and forcibly drag this unfair duel to the realm of fairness.

And his brave and skilled comrades-in-arms will open the way for him......

Thinking of this, Lorraine pulled out his long knife with a bang.

"Command, Raven. Schogner, Yashin. Admiral Shaklin led the left and right sides and sailed to meet the enemy. Butterfly Flower, forward! ”

With the order, the outer battleships opened their sails in unison, and the speed of the eight-knot array was further increased, and the slender battleships broke through the waves, scattered the array, and bravely pounced on the enemy in front of them.

Yashin and his Hurricane were the fastest, but with a distance of only two kilometers, he pulled five or six of the other ships and plunged headlong into the middle of the French fleet, shouting the order: "Fire!" ”

Boom Boom!

The Hurricane's two sides opened fire at the same time, and the red-hot projectiles spilled out, exploding huge splashes on the surface of the sea.

The French immediately returned fire.

Heavy artillery fire hit the Hurricane, and the first shot hit the stern of the Hurricane, blasting the aft terrace to shreds.

The hull of the ship shook violently, but Yashin remained unmoved, and coldly ordered the helmsman to turn the rudder and tilt to the left.

His comrades rushed into battle on his heels, and the six warships pulled out the waterline that spread like a salute and pressed it to the sides, forcing the French to evade the outerer waters.

The artillery fire shook the four fields!

A straight course was vacated in the center of the battlefield, and Lorraine squinted at it, and ordered in a loud voice: "Full sails, rush!" ”

The butterfly trumpet is full of sails!

With a tailwind and full sails, because the heavy artillery was dismantled in advance, the lightly armed Butterfly Flower raised its bow high, and its overall speed soared sharply, like an arrow through the chaotic forward battlefield, and rushed straight to the main front line full of artillery fire.

Five kilometers, four kilometers...... Lorraine finally saw the towering masts of the Reindeer, the pirate flag of the Golden Sword Flower swishing in the wind, and the lookout shouting at the deck, presumably telling Willen that an unknown Briganting had broken through the resistance and was rushing towards the single ship of the Reindeer.

Lorraine took a deep breath: "Prepare for war!" ”

Prepare for battle!

At a distance of three kilometers, sailors flocked out of the gun bays, armed with scimitars, hooks, axes, and bayonets, and gathered on the deck.

Acharin shouted loudly from the deck, and a musket corps of forty men assembled in the center of the deck.

Pierce took his special maritime commuter rifle, slung it over his shoulder, and climbed up to the specially modified tin lookout at the top of the foremast.

Henna, Noah, and Wang also stood behind Lorraine, and Cren took over the command of the Butterflyflower, meowing sensibly with white ears and burrowing into the bilge.

Henna handed Lorraine a pair of special leather arm guards, heavy blue-gray, the inner layer fits Lorraine's forearm, and the outer layer is heavy, extending to protect the elbow and the back of the hand.

Lorraine looked at this strange set of protective gear in amazement: "This is?" ”

"The Komodo dragon of Hebasi Island, which Pierce had sewn with a good tanner from Plymouth, is very useful." Henna raised her hand.

She also has a pair of bracers, which, unlike Lorraine's, look simple and refined, with a length that only protects the lower end of the forearm, and a protruding, movable leaf that extends to the back of the hand, which is standard tailor-made.

Lorraine tied the pair of savage-looking arm guards to her hands, stuck them into the piso, and asked curiously, "Everyone on the boat has it?" ”

"There weren't enough materials, and one of the skins sewed a whole smock for Pierce, which was bulletproof. The other skin made me a pair of bracers, and a pair of arm guards for you and Clen. Later, Karen found out that Wang Ye's fighting skills were good, so he gave him his arm guards. ”

This choice is obviously very rational, Wang is also Taoist kung fu, although Lorraine can't see whether it is authentic or not, but the actual combat performance is really excellent.

In contrast, Clen was not good at fighting, as in this battle, Lorraine arranged for him to direct the sailors to take overboard, and did not expect much of his own success.

The situation is similar in Acharin.

A gunner who is good at shooting and holding his sister will not put himself in a hand-to-hand combat environment, and if he accidentally falls into it, his combat effectiveness is not worth looking forward to.

It's just Noah......

Lorraine smacked her lips: "What about Noah?" ”

"Her skills are too demanding on the center of gravity, and according to her own words, she can't attach any heavy objects to her hands."

"That's a shame......"

In a few moments, the ship's combatants were ready, and Lorraine sat down on the ballista launch pad with her legs raised, holding the narwhal's cold, smooth grip with both hands and aiming at her target.

The distance between the two sides is only the last two kilometers......

The Butterfly Flower had already reached its peak speed under the impetus of the wind, and it was sailing through the sea at a speed of more than 12 knots, which means that it would only take about 5 minutes for this distance to become zero.

The red-haired Sultan struggled to evade the fire and slowly ...... Slowly...... With green smoke, it went around the back of the Reindeer.

The Caribou's side side followed suit.

Lorraine's complexion changed!

Because of Ronza's stupid command, the red-haired Sultan did not break away from the port side of the Reindeer, but instead sent the rapidly charging Butterfly Flower to the starboard side of the Reindeer!

The Galen-type destroyer had sixteen heavy guns on each side, six twelve pounder on the main deck and ten eighteen pounder on the gun deck.

Lorraine stared at the sudden change in amazement, and her face turned red.

"Ronza, well done!" He stood up sharply and shouted through gritted teeth, "Bullet in front!" All people fix their bodies, the left full rudder, evade! ”

Boom Boom!

Scattered shells bombarded the Butterfly, and thanks to Lorraine's warning in advance, the Butterfly avoided the shelling at a wide angle.

But there were too many sailors on deck, and the sudden change of direction caused the entire deck to turn on their backs, and at least a dozen people fell into the water screaming and falling into the sea like dumplings.

The bulging sails also softened.

The rapid cutting wind has caused the Butterfly Flower to lose the speed it relies on for a living, how fast is it now? No one even knows!

In the midst of his anger, Lorraine suddenly heard the sailor shout: "Oh my God! It's tuna, Admiral Schogna is here! ”

Raven is here!

Just as Lorraine had just done, he put the Tuna completely into the wind belt, and the whole battleship was full of sails, and while the Butterfly Flower was avoiding stalling, he rushed past Lorraine like a bolt.

At the moment of passing by, Lorraine saw Raven standing on the bulwark with a pale face, trembling, and waving the flag to Lorraine with his own hands.

[Sorry for breaking your toy.] Forward, privateer lord of the Northern Seas. Onward, England]

"Muzzle shift!" Pierce from the lookout shouted in panic, "The Tuna has been shot head-on!" God, they gave up on evasion! ”

Boom Boom!

Another round of shells spilled, and a scattershot swept across the Tuna's deck, and Lorraine saw Raven fly upside down like a broken sack.

But the speed of the Tuna did not slow down for a moment, it was like an arrow, like an arrow, like a moth flying towards the light, raised its sharp bow, tore through the layers of mist in front of it, and slammed straight into the starboard side of the Reindeer!

Rumble!

Lorraine tasted the saltiness at the corners of her lips.

He sat back on the narwhal's launch pad with a grim face, his mouth full of blood, and ordered softly, "We have paid the price, Neold...... Butterfly Flower No., Broadside, Rush. ”

"Cut the wind! Rush! ”
