Sure enough, when he saw the small boats attacking the transports, the French commander Valgery was shocked. In order to ensure the safety of the transport ship, Valkyrie sent 30 large ships to intercept the small English boats that tried to sneak up on the transport ship. And he himself, with 70 large ships, rushed to the main fleet of England......

In peacetime, Valgery did not dare to guarantee that his 70 ships would be able to defeat the 54 British ships in front of him. But now, Valgery knew one thing - the British fleet in front of him would not give way. As a result, they were bound to fight hard with the French army. And the French, the last thing they are afraid of is to fight hard......

Seeing that the main warships of the two sides were mixed together, the two sides directly took out all their efforts and desperately attacked the enemy.

The stern of the Kirk galleon in England was relatively high, which was very conducive to archery. So, in Wallace's fleet, the English archers on the stern drew their longbows and aimed at the enemy on the French ships......

The French also returned fire with crossbows, but the crossbows were too slow to fire with muskets, while English longbowmen could shoot 15 arrows a minute......

So, the French finally realized that it was absolutely stupid to shoot at the English with each other......

Therefore, the French warships, under the command of the commanders, approached the British ships one after another, even if they collided. Otherwise, they would have become a target for the British longbowmen.

"Hmph, you dare to lean over!" Wallace was on the stern, coldly watching the French ship that had collided with it. Then he commanded:

"Light a spare torch and throw it at the opposing boat!"

After the order was delivered, the English sailors took out spare sticks tied with rags and opened clay pots filled with mutton fat......

After a few stirring of sticks tied with rags in a clay pot filled with mutton fat, a torch was born. Moreover, it is a torch with a lot of oil......

The wooden ships were afraid of fire, and Wallace's response was to throw torches dipped in mutton fat at the approaching French warships, trying to set the enemy ships on fire......

Although they could not get out of the way, the English fleet did not have to stay there and wait for the French ships to crash into them. On a small scale, British warships were still able to do some maneuvering. Therefore, the 54 main ships of England were all maneuvering within a certain range to avoid leaning with the French ships. At the same time, the English longbowmen on the stern, desperately firing rockets at the decks of the French ships, tried to set the French ships on fire.

But the French are not fools, they have long had buckets on deck. As soon as a fire broke out on the sails or deck, they sent someone to water and extinguish the fire.

However, if you can't catch up with the British ship and let it shoot arrows, there will still be a lot of casualties. For this reason, the Count of Valgery ordered - still outflanked left and right, and some of the British warships must be entangled......

Although outflanking the left and right will distract the forces, Count Valgery is not afraid. Why? Because he was not afraid that the British would surround him with a heavy part. If the British fleet had surrounded one of the French fleets, they would have stopped fighting the French. At this time, the other group leaned over again, and at that time, it became a frontal scuffle. Then the British longbowmen lost their advantage. In the melee, if the longbowmen were close to the French sailors, they could only be killed......

Sure enough, outflanked by the French fleet, two English ships were trapped. Sir Wallace saw that he had to be saved. As a result, a number of English warships approached to help relieve the siege......

At this time, the Count of Walgery took the opportunity to order more French ships to come up...... Then, a head-to-head showdown on the sea unfolded......

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Gotta shoot these damn Frenchmen! The British commander shouted from the deck.

Seeing that the main warships of Britain and France were leaning together, at this time, both sides were a little nervous. The British also knew that the archers on the ship, who excelled in archery, and not in frontal combat. So, it's good to be able to shoot a few more French sailors before hand-to-hand combat.

The French, on the other hand, had a different way of thinking - they were going to let the ships come together. Then, let Hercules drop anchor and try to hook the British ship, and the next thing is to send someone to jump off the ship and cut ......

Finally, a French ship managed to hook an English ship. However, without waiting for the French to rejoice, the captain of the English ship opposite said:

"Throw it at me!"

Then, a large number of torches dipped in mutton fat were thrown on the French ship opposite......

This kind of torch is different from ordinary torches, ordinary torches, only the top is dipped in some grease to help burning, and this kind of torch, the wooden stick is full of grease, only the handle part is not dipped in oil, so it burns very vigorously.

At first, the Frenchman on the opposite boat didn't pay much attention to it - just some torches, see how I douse it......

But when these torches, dipped in mutton fat, fell on the deck of the French ship, a lot of mutton fat was sprinkled on the deck, and they gathered together and burst into a very high flame. Although the French extinguished most of the fire, the remaining flames were rekindled by the presence of sheep fat......

As a result, the fire of this ill-prepared French warship became so big that it was difficult to extinguish......

However, the French captain of the ship was also a ruthless man. Seeing that the sailors were going to jump into the sea to escape, the captain ordered in a loud voice:

"No jumping into the sea! If you want to jump, jump on the British ship! Remember to bring a knife and hack them to death! ”

Then the hundreds of French sailors on board, led by the fierce captain, began to climb along the chains towards the British ship......

The captain and first mate climbed to the front, but they were not able to board the British ship. Because they were all shot and fell into the sea. However, the captain did not die, but continued to shout while swimming in the sea:

"Don't give up, keep crawling! Our ship is finished, but don't let the British have a good time! ”

With that, he continued to swim towards the British ship, trying to climb up from under the water......

Encouraged by the captain, the French sailors rushed towards the opposite side despite their low bodies. Although more than thirty people were shot down by the English longbowmen, more than sixty people managed to climb onto the opposite ship. Then, a fight began......

"For France!" The French sailors shouted, and then, brandishing their scimitars, rushed at the British sailors......

At this point, the longbow was useless. Because, the sailors on both sides have already been mixed up, and they can't tell the difference between friend and foe.

Of course, the longbowmen were mainly above the stern, using the stern as an arrow tower. On deck, most of them were ordinary sailors. The English sailors on the deck, in the face of the French sailors, did not show weakness, drew their sailors' scimitars one after another, and slashed with each other......

The French are good at martial arts, after all, they are formally trained. Although the British sailors had no formal martial arts training, they had a lot of experience, and they had many cameo appearances as pirates, and they were extremely experienced in slashing people on board.

Therefore, the two sides are inseparable, and there is no distinction between the top and the bottom......

Seeing that their comrades failed to take advantage, the longbowmen on the stern could not sit still. So, they threw down their longbows, replaced them with scimitars, and came down from the stern tower to join in the slashing process......

In the end, relying on the superiority in numbers, the English killed more than 60 French sailors who jumped ship. However, they also suffered heavy losses - more than 40 of them were killed in battle, and more than 30 were slashed. And then the ship was considered horrific......

On other ships, bloody battles were also staged. The French knew that long-range exchange was no match for the English, and that close combat was the only chance. So, they leaned like crazy to the British ship. Even, the whole ship crashed into it desperately......

As for throwing torches and burning ships, except for the first French ship that was caught off guard, it was burned, and the rest of the French ships were not hit. Why? Because they came up with a way to crack it - pick up the torch and throw it back......
