When people see the success of others, they often attribute it to luck. But in fact, one minute on stage, ten years off the stage, no one's success is casual. Behind the beauty and brilliance must be hardship, this is the law.

One of the things I'm glad about when we found out was that our opponent was the Spaniards! Old-fashioned Spaniards! The Spaniards, who are not good at shelling warfare!

Otherwise, in the case that our lifeboats are far smaller than the tonnage of the opposing side, if they have the artillery skills of the British, no, even if it is the Dutch, we have only the only ending of sinking to the bottom of the sea.

But they didn't! To this day, these gentlemen's "lazy men" still adhere to their white-knuckle combat traditions, and this gives us more opportunities to escape!

Even though I don't believe in God, I can't help but shout God bless in my heart at this time! Amitabha! Taishang Laojun! Good, good, good!

But my face was still as calm as water, and I was engrossed in watching the battleship chasing after me!

The distance between us is gradually shrinking, after all, we are not a special speedboat, but a lifeboat in the general sense! Therefore, there is no advantage in speed at all, and only by relying on the best efforts of the fighters can barely let the distance between the two sides shrink too fast!

"How far is it?" I looked at the enlarged enemy ship and almost shouted at Hank beside me.

He immediately replied, "Chief! We're around the corner and there! See! Our fleet! ”

I looked at him and couldn't help but smile. Actually, I know that our fleet is not far away, but I can test our commander again in this way.

I am very satisfied with the results, and I think my husband will be satisfied as well.

So, with a smile on my face, I asked out loud, "So what is the most effective action at this point?" Hank, you tell me! ”

Hank glanced back at the approaching enemy ships, then at our fleet hidden in the jungle behind the protruding jungle on the coast, and he replied loudly to me, "Land!" Abandon ship! Shoot! ”

I patted him on the shoulder and replied with a smile, "Don't forget to take it off*!"

Hank immediately laughed twice, and gave me a military salute - this is the man's prescribed action, the four fingers of his right hand are together, the thumb is clasped on the second joint of the index finger, and he is raised from the front of him until the right eyebrow!

This action is very capable, I have never seen such a military salute, but Mr. has stipulated it like this, even if it is our own form of etiquette!

Immediately after the salute, Hank shouted, "Order! The ship immediately docked! Abandon ship! Disassemble all gun-wielding combatants*, shoot at enemy ships with bare guns! ”

No one questioned and no one stayed! The warriors on the right side of the boat accelerated their oars, but the ones on the left slowed down accordingly—our boat immediately turned to the left and began to move towards the shore not far away.

The musketeers, led by the burner, immediately removed the * as requested, aimed in the direction of the enemy ship, and decisively pulled the trigger!

The order of the early morning coast was immediately torn to pieces! The not very dense gunfire began to rage! I glanced back at the bow of the ship high behind me, and the enemy did not suffer much loss, they were more confused, and there was a kind of helplessness and anger after the lion was provoked by a mouse!

I don't care what they think, there are only two thoughts in my mind at this time: first, Adicon can judge the situation as soon as possible and rush to our aid quickly. Second, attract the enemy's ships and don't let them run away!

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt that my body was crooked, and the lifeboat had run aground on the beach on the coast! I immediately shouted: "Take only the weapon and abandon the ship!" Counterattack! ”

The fighters were very resolute, jumping out of the side of the boat according to the uniform movements in the training, and ran to the shore on the knee-deep water!

Just a few breaths after we left the lifeboat, the poor boats were smashed by the pursuing enemy! It's a scattered trebuchet! The Spaniards' close-range firearms!

After running for so long, I finally got into range, but it was useless!

As we ran, we turned around and turned to shoot, and it dawned on me that such shots were not useless - although most of the bullets hit the side of the ship or missed the air, there were still some bullets that had unexpected results!

I've seen with my own eyes how amazing a shot can be! The bullet flew a distance of several hundred paces and hit the mainsail cable of the warship in front of the opponent!

The arm-thick cable there was immediately broken in the air, and even the mainsail fell down with a "poof"!

Although it doesn't cause any real damage, it does require enemy ships to slow down and repair!

It was a godsend for us – because right behind us, Adikon's four ships were already in action, speeding up and out of the backwater bay at the corner of the coast!

I immediately heard the neighing of horses from the enemy ship! They've spotted our ambush! One can imagine the pain and entanglement in the hearts of the opposing commanders!

If you choose to escape, at such a distance, the bow of the ship is facing our army, and you will definitely suffer heavy losses during the U-turn, and the probability of escaping smoothly is very small. Especially the ship in front, the distance was close, the mainsail was shot down again, and the idea of escaping was almost extinct.

If you choose to fight, the situation is also very awkward - our ships have increased their speed, and the maneuverability should be above theirs, and it will be difficult to catch up with them.

What will they do? As I made my way to the hinterland, I watched the movement of the enemy ships. I saw that the ship in front of them was doing its best to repair the mainsail, and on the other hand, it was accelerating forward by the force of the oars, making a posture of chasing our warship and fighting a decisive battle!

Oh! How heroic is it? I couldn't help but feel bald. But when I looked at the enemy ship behind me, the cunning commander had already begun to turn its sails, and the bow of the ship had already turned to the right!

It seems that the Spanish captain in front is scheming! I couldn't help but look in the direction of Adicon's fleet, could this former bandit admiral be fooled?

In the line of sight, our battleship did not turn because of the acceleration of the enemy ship, but generously exposed its belly to the other side - this is the most vulnerable place of a ship, and it is also the place where the power of artillery is most concentrated!

It can be seen that Adicon did not believe that the enemy ship would rush over and fight with him, but resolutely chose to shoot with all his might! The reason why he dared to do this was to bully the inferior artillery of the Spanish warships, and it did not pose a real threat to our side at all!

Our ships were just a little out of the range of the enemy ships, and the jam was very accurate! It's experience, it's courage and wisdom! Now it's like a thorn stuck in the enemy's throat, unable to go up or down.

The roaring artillery fire began to threaten, and the enemy's lead ship, seeing that the situation was not good, guessed the reality of our commander's experience, so it immediately stopped the momentum of the forward rush and began to slowly reverse the ship!

Their mainsails had been repaired, but with a hundred dares, they did not dare to turn around and flee - the powerful firepower of our fleet would tear apart their fragile bellies in an instant and send them west!

So they chose to reverse the ship, although it was slow, and although it would have been a lot of attacks, they had to do it!

The current situation is typical of the "T-heads", they expose the hardest bow of the ship to our side, and under artillery fire, a large number of shells form ricochets because the hit angle is too small, and they cannot penetrate the enemy's side and deck!

This was the most advantageous situation for the enemy, but there were no absolutes, and some shells with higher ballistics and more correct direction crossed the hard bow of the ship and hit the cabins, decks, masts and other superstructures, causing a lot of damage to the facilities and many fires!

But none of this constitutes fatal damage, and the enemy ship is still slowly falling! If they are allowed to go around the corner covered by the woods and turn the two boats alternately, if we don't have time to turn and accelerate, their probability of escape will be greatly increased!

However, if we chase too close now in order to prevent the other side from escaping, if the other side really breaks the boat and crashes into it in one go, even if the flank of our gunboat is not penetrated, it will be boarded and drowned by the other side's sailors who are several times our size!

What to do? I couldn't help but feel a little anxious, did I just watch them flee? Absolutely not!

But what can we do now? With the strength of our lightly armed individual soldiers, it is simply not enough to pose a threat to such a huge warship!

Is there a way to stop them? Several shots were fired in a row, and the bullets passed by the cable, and one shot hit the cable, but it only let it shake, and there was no sign of breaking at all!

Hank pointed to the vines clinging to the big tree not far away, and whispered, "Chief, how about we send someone to dive over and entangle their rudder?"

My heart moved, but when I saw the scattered cannons on the side of the other party's ship, I finally shook my head helplessly and said, "No, the danger factor is too high!" And our warning function has been completed, and the frontal battlefield is not our business! ”

After speaking, I turned my head to look at Adicon's fleet and said lightly: "Believe in our bandit admiral!"

At this moment a young man jumped up beside me, saluted me, and exclaimed, "Chief, I have a suggestion!"

When I look back, it's Redfield, who has played a big role in the infiltration battle. The young man was suppressing his excitement at this time and said, "I suggest that in this direction, set up a defensive line outside the range of the opponent's scattered cannon!"

I squinted and asked, "Reason!"

Redfield pointed to the enemy ship and said, "The boat in front of the other party can barely run!" If the damage is too heavy under our artillery, then the opponent will definitely choose to abandon the ship! ”

I hummed and continued along his train of thought: "And there are nearly 700 sailors on the other side's ship, if we don't prepare in advance, we won't be able to resist the impact of the other party or escape!"

Redfield's eyes lit up: "Yes! Chief! That's what I mean! ”

I glanced at him with a smile in my eyes. Then he looked back at the terrain behind him, estimated the position of the enemy ship, and hesitated slightly: "So the most appropriate place for us to set up a defensive line should be in ......."

I pointed to the hilly terrain a mile away and said, "It's on that little hill!"

The special forces immediately understood my intentions, and everyone began to run at full speed towards the hill! Our position was out of range of the Spaniards' scattered cannons and muskets, so we almost swaggered to our destination and began to set up our defenses!

A team of people cut down trees and piled them on top of the hills to form improvised bulletproof fortifications! The other team dug a ring trench in front of the fortifications to hold back the enemy!

There was also a small detachment that surveyed the evacuation direction, and there were no obstacles, which was quite convenient.

Warriors put all the skills they have learned to work! By the time the mainmast of the enemy ship was broken and there was an uproar on the deck of the enemy ship, our improvised positions were neatly prepared with spare arrows and bullets!

There is no fluke in any victory! We waited quietly, and no matter how the battle played out after that, we were actually invincible!

As for my current mood, in the words of my husband: let the storm come more violently!
