Sure enough, as Count Walgery expected, when the 50 main French warships were divided into two groups to outflank them, the results were immediately achieved.

If they were able to escape and make way, the British small and medium-sized warships would not have suffered any losses. However, Wallace gave the boats a death order to move around the neighborhood and not get out of the way......

This made it difficult for Wallace's deputy Jackson, who was in charge of commanding small and medium-sized English ships, to block the route to Hastings, and he had to lead more than 40 small and medium-sized ships and French ships to go around in a small circle.

However, if the French still gathered their ships together, they could still circle around the enemy. But the French learned well this time, and they actually divided into two groups to outflank them. This was very difficult to solve, and the English fleet desperately circled around, but there were still three or four small boats caught in the two French fleets......

After being caught in the bag of the French warship, these English sailors also knew that they were in danger. So, they chose to fight hard......

In fact, these sailors are used to desperately. Because, in normal times, these English ships were also used to robbing French merchant ships and making cameo appearances as pirates. The French hated these English sailors. Therefore, as soon as they were caught by the French army, these cameo pirate sailors would be put to death without pardon. Therefore, they have never had the idea of surrendering, because if they surrender, they will also be executed, it is better to fight hard.

After the French fleet surrounded the four English boats, they first slowly approached them, and then, finding a strong man, threw the chains with the head of the anchor at the English ships......

There are several hooks on the anchor head, which are used to catch enemy ships. Once the enemy ship is hooked by the anchor head, then the sailors of their own side can bite the scimitar with their mouths, climb to the opposite ship through the iron chain and cut each other......

The French were also prepared to deal with the British. They don't want to catch up with the British in archery, because the British longbowmen need more than ten years of non-stop practice, and they are even deprived of time to play football.

The French obviously do not organize the whole people to practice archery, after all, France is a country of knights. To a certain extent, the French knightly class was hostile to the archers who were not upright enough.

Therefore, the French can only jump ship and help each other cut each other's work. For this reason, the French specially trained many soldiers to fight on ships. Their martial arts are all trained with the help of professional knights, and they use the swordsmanship of knights' light swords.

In fact, the reason why pirates used a scimitar instead of a light sword was because the back of the scimitar was unbladed and could be bitten with a mouth, making it easier for pirates to climb the ship. If it is a sword, it is easy to cut the mouth when it bites on the blade. That's why pirates are used to using scimitars. However, when it comes to fighting, although there are differences between the use of one-handed knives and one-handed swords, there are also many common techniques. Therefore, the French simply let the knights who were proficient in various martial arts train a group of sailors who used one-handed swords, and taught them the martial arts of one-handed sword fighting.

Nowadays, these sailors are all in use......

However, the British did not stand still and put up a fierce resistance......

Seeing that the Hercules on the French ship were about to throw an iron anchor, the English captains ordered:

"Knock those anchors off with sticks!"

So, the sailors found long sticks and smashed them at the flying iron anchors. You don't need to knock the anchor flying, as long as it misses. As long as it misses, the French will not be able to hook their own ships......

At the same time, the archers on the ships of England aimed at the French Hercules who threw iron anchors, and the long arrows rained down......

After wounding several Hercules, the French had to put plate armor on those Hercules. Then, a new round of throwing iron anchors began......

After all, the four small ships of the English fleet were surrounded by groups, and they could block one direction, but they could never block the enemy from all sides. Eventually, their ship began to get hooked by iron anchors......

Then the French began to climb along the chains to the English ships......

"Shoot them!" Seeing this, the English captains had no choice but to let the archers shoot the French sailors who tried to climb over. At such a close distance, the longbow is still very good. Therefore, many French sailors were shot and fell into the water.

The French are not happy at first glance - what the hell, you have a long-range attack? Look at my crossbow......

Then the French crossbow was taken out......

With the same number of ships and numbers, the rate of fire of the crossbow is far less than that of the longbow. But now it's different, because the French are surrounding these four ships, and the number is overwhelming......

In terms of aimed shooting at close range, the crossbow has a stronger aim than the English longbow. Although the rate of fire is slow, it can't stand the French ships all around......

As a result, under the precise blow of the crossbows of the surrounding French ships, the archers on the small ships of England were hit one after another, and the blood immediately stained the decks of the English ships......

Seeing that the English archers were suppressed, the French sailors grabbed their scimitars and climbed along the chains to the English ships. This time, the English couldn't stop them......

A bloody battle ensued on the English ship......

Although the English sailors were more experienced, they were not defeated by the French sailors one-on-one. But it's useless...... Because, there are too many French......

There were no French sailors crawling towards the English ships on the French warships, and some French crossbowmen were eyeing the fish......

After a brutal battle, the four English ships fell, and the decks were covered in blood...... In the end, only a few sailors with good water characteristics saw that the general trend was gone and jumped into the sea to escape. And the others, all killed......

As the English expected, the French hated the English pirates for a long time. Therefore, for those English sailors who were wounded and fell on deck, the French sailors showed no mercy and did not think of treating them, but mended their swords......

In the end, all the English sailors on the four English boats died, except for those who escaped by jumping into the sea. Even the English sailors, who escaped by jumping into the sea, were partially killed by the crossbows of the French......

Just as the 50 French ships were about to repeat the old trick and catch a few more small ships to annihilate them, Wallace arrived with 54 main ships......

Wallace understood that those small and medium-sized warships could not be the match of the French. If these 50 French capital warships were allowed to continue to clear the field, those small ships would be doomed. And once those little ships were finished, the French fleet's route to Hastings was wide open......

For this reason, Wallace had to rush over with the main battleships and fight these French warships head-on......

If it had been head-on, Wallace's 54 English ships would never have lost to the 50 French ships on the other side. However, when he saw the other 50 French ships chasing after him, Sir Wallace felt bitter......

He didn't have time to worry about that, though. Whether he will survive this naval battle, Wallace does not know. But he knew that his opponent would never be allowed to continue cleaning up those boats. Outflanked by the big French ships, those small ships had no chance of being spared, just like the four small British warships that had just been bloodied by the French......

So, Wallace rushed over with the main warship and took over the task just now. Wallace then sent a dinghy to inform Jackson, the deputy in command of the fleet, to disperse and fight the enemy......

Now that Wallace's big ships were facing the enemy, those small ships did not have to hold the course to Hastings. In this way, those little boats can be freed up to do something else......

Wallace's order to Jackson was to disperse and attack the French transports......

Those transports were very important, and in order to protect them, the French would inevitably separate large ships to intercept them. In this way, Wallace's main fleet will not have to face the enemy's 100 main ships—that would be a mortal situation......
