280. There are tombstones in the North Sea

The wind was getting stronger, and I stood in the captain's cabin, watching the shadow of the ship appear on the southern sea. The Nine Ghosts Masataka stepped forward to report, and the suspicious fleet finally caught up.

Wayne Nash took a closer look, and not surprisingly, it was the strange Scottish ships docked on the docks in London! It's just that now they've been assembled and hung with the banner of the Stewart family!

This is to be clarified! I tugged at the corners of my mouth and smiled wickedly. Looking at the "Spanish fleet" that was facing us not far away, I secretly clenched my fists.

The enemy is hateful, but what is even more hateful is the black knife stabbed in the back by the so-called "own people"! I will never be merciful to such people!

We watched each other's movements, as if they were trying to go around our backs! I want to be caught on both sides! It's a little bit, the abacus is playing very loudly!

I glanced at their ships, most of them were Fred oars and Karak, and the flagship was a Galen warship that I didn't know how to use. It seems that these Scottish tyrants are really nothing more than that, they look like a lot of momentum, but in fact they are just helping local chickens and tile dogs!

I smiled and asked, "Nash, look, what is the best way to deal with it?" ”

Wayne Nash had a strange smile on his face, he didn't understand my "bad taste", but he didn't admire it at all: "Lord Viscount, I mean, Captain!" Are you testing me? The situation is very clear! The enemy is completely destroyed, let's find a place to rest, and then go back to the city, this is the program! ”

I glanced at him lightly and smiled, "Whether it's us or them, we have traveled so far to come here just to clean up this marine garbage?" ”

Wayne Nash looked a little embarrassed, but he couldn't think of any better way to deal with the current situation than to destroy the enemy.

I patted him on the shoulder, didn't speak, but turned my head to look at the Nine Ghosts and said, "Are Christina and Old Tucker in place?" ”

The Nine Ghosts replied, "Yes, sir, their ancestors and grandchildren are already in the fleet over there. ”

I nodded, "Go ahead with the plan!" ”

The Nine Ghosts took the order, but Wayne Nash fell into deep thought. He originally thought that the West was the center of the world, and that the East was just a virgin land full of gold in Marco Polo's pen, waiting for Westerners to come and harvest.

But when he really came to the fleet of these Orientals, he realized that he was just a guide, and at present he could play the role of a guide at most. In contrast, he decided to calm down and look at the methods of these oriental bosses.

On the signal tower, the lights flickered, and the battleship of Calais on the opposite side quickly got the information and began to move!

We were facing the "Spanish fleet" on the other side, and the Scottish fleet wanted to go around my back, that is, further west, to flank me. Seeing this, I began to direct the fleet to the north, that is, closer to the circle of the storm.

The "Spanish fleet" did not pursue it northward, but moved westward, to the south of me, adjacent to the Stuart fleet of Scotland.

Seberdine Stuart was overjoyed that his family had always had dealings with the Spaniards, and there were many rumors in the Spanish navy. At this time, the two sides are standing side by side, doesn't that increase the chances of winning? If it is a population and boat gathering area, there is also a problem of impact to consider when doing it together, after all, the matter of a nest of snakes and rats is not so glorious, and it is better to do less.

But what is there to be afraid of on this endless sea? The churning waves are the best cover for sin, and anything that is right or wrong will be reduced to the dust of history under this churning waves!

Sebertine selectively ignored the identification signals from the Oriental fleet, and instead sent friendly lights to the Spanish fleet. The Spaniard's Clipper de Calais kept accelerating, reaching less than a nautical mile from itself, and began to slowly disperse in formation.

Seberdine's heart was overjoyed. Although he didn't know who was leading the team, it was obvious that he knew about the "deal" between him and them, so he immediately relieved himself and ordered the fleet to aim all the guns at the fleet of the Orientals.

At the moment when he was about to give the order to open fire, the "Spaniard" fleet next to him opened fire first! Just listen to their commanding officer constantly giving orders in tongue-curling Spanish, and the cannon fire on the opposite ship begins!

It's just that...... It's just that the direction of this shell is clearly its own fleet! In a stunned move, a wave of raining cannonballs had smashed into the decks and sides of his ships, and suddenly many ships began to smoke billowing from them!

He had to immediately crouch down, slammed the table angrily and said, "These damn Spaniards, why are you attacking us? Don't they recognize the flag of our Stuart? ”

So, Sabudin ordered again: "Contact them and tell them that we are allies!" Friendly! ”

But before the trumpeter could send a message, disaster struck - the fleet from the north began to bombard at the same time! And this time the artillery fire was obviously different from the Spanish fire just now - the shelling just now was a small caliber, and the hull hit either a ricochet or a scar the size of a bowl. But the guns of these big ships are like a knock on the medicine, as long as they hit, half of the deck will be gone! Gone! The ashes are gone!

In the wind and rain, Cyberdine's heart is dripping blood! Yes, he had known about the new ships that the Orientals were equipped with, but from past experience, it only meant that they had fallen longer, had bigger waves, and had higher flames. But now it seems that I was wrong! What a mistake!

The artillery on the opposite side and the artillery equipped with oneself are simply not in the same era! A scene popped into his mind - when he led a team to plunder gold in the New World more than ten years ago, the natives held spears against their sailors' muskets - and the same was true at this time, but the roles were reversed, and the natives with spears became themselves......

"Click"! The No. 2 ship not far away was hit in the belly by the fleet of the Oriental people three times in a row, and it actually broke its keel directly!

Smoke was billowing from the second ship, and the bow and stern on both sides began to sink rapidly! It was almost a few breaths, and even the captain's room was in the water!

Seberdine suddenly came to his senses and shouted: "Send a signal to the fleet of the Orientals, we are our own people!" We are British! Briton! ”

However, the other party did not pay attention to the identity confirmation signal sent by himself, just as he ignored the identity confirmation signal at the beginning. Seberdine's heart was dripping blood, and he knew that he was finished, and the belongings he had saved up over the years were also finished! He turned a deaf ear to what the adjutant was shouting violently next to him, and his ears, eyes, and mind were full of the word "finished"! Over and over again, back and forth, never dissipated!

At this moment, a huge cannon shot hit not far from Seberdeen! I only heard a loud "boom", and the cabin was pierced! Cyberdine woke up all at once! Run! So what are you waiting for? He roared wildly, and the adjutant, who had been shouting this sentence but ignored it, immediately ran out and gave the order to retreat!

The Galen warship began to turn around, and the rest of the ships only saw life, and they all followed suit, trying to play the rudder in the wind and rain, wanting to leave the unreasonable enemy to bite! However, the enemy on both sides did not intend to do so, their artillery fire was like a wave, and when they turned around, two more boats were emitting black smoke, and they couldn't drive away!

By the time the Galen warship rushed out of the fire coverage, Seberdine looked left and right, and with the flagship, there were only three ships left! More than a dozen ships when they came, some sank, some surrendered, and two more saw that the situation was not good, and they did not join the battle circle at all, and directly turned around and escaped from the battle!

Seberdeen was eager to vomit a mouthful of blood on the deck, but he couldn't tell the bitterness - the Orientals had sent him a friendly signal at the beginning, but he did not reply. In a battle at sea, it must be either friend or foe, there is absolutely no third possibility, the Orientals fire absolutely meets all the rules, and their own loss is definitely a grievance, and there is no place to reason at all.

As for the Spaniards, this is even more impossible to say. Originally, Britain and Spain were hostile countries, and it was the norm to meet and fight, so could it be that I wanted to grab the Spaniards by the collar and shout: Have you forgotten our agreement? You despicable traitors!

If this is really done, then the people who will be hanged as traitors must be themselves and the people of the Stuart family, I am afraid that even James will not be able to protect himself at that time, not to mention, this junior seems to be not of the same mind as himself and his mother Mary!

Lost! Totally lost! It's a loss! It's a big loss!

There was only one thought in Seybertin's mind, and he hung his head, gritted his teeth, and fled south with the two or three ships that were left, and soon disappeared into the stormy sky.

......

Our fleet and the Calais fleet made a temporary landing on a small island not far to the northwest, in order to shelter from the rain. In the captain's room of the large British three-masted galleon, I met Chen Kui, the commander of the Calais clipper fleet, and the "voice actors" sent to help him, Tucker Sr. and Christina.

When I saw them come in, I clapped softly, and the whole room applauded. If today's victory is 10 points, then their performance is more than 6 points!

From the very beginning, the sixth ship of the Calais clipper fleet, which had fallen far behind, spotted the enemy's track on the sea level, and after rushing to report at full speed, we quickly "set up the scene".

And then the shelling - that's a joke, either * empty shells without shells, or small guns of thirty mm caliber, hitting our strongest forward broadside, at a very large angle! It can be said that apart from looking crackling and very lively, it did not hurt my main fleet in the slightest!

The reason why it is so realistic is completely to make the Stuart fleet behind him believe it! To fool the enemy, you must first fool your own people! This acting can definitely participate in the Oscar selection - if there is such an award in the world!
