574. Song Under the Moon

Tonight is a full moon night!

It's been the fifth day at sea, and tonight our fleet will arrive at the wreck of what the old god stick of Grishargs said.

I, Francis Drake, will eventually become a witness to this era, a booster of the full rise of the kingdoms of England and Ireland!

It is speculated that the total value of the shipwreck treasure this time is at least 8 million to 10 million gold coins, and if the treasure of the Aztec kingdom is found, the value cannot be estimated.

My luck is finally coming! Again, I'm Francis Drake, I don't care how much money I make, I just want to go down in history!

The fleet is getting closer and closer to that sea area, looking up at the sky, it can be described as a bright moon and stars, and it is definitely a good time to operate.

People say that strange phenomena are prone to occur after arriving in this triangle area, and as a devout believer in the Emperor, I absolutely do not believe in these.

As for why Spain hired Columbus to sail back then, why it encountered such a strange event here, I can only say that there must be an unknown reason for this.

Maybe he was unfortunate enough to encounter a once-in-a-century storm, or maybe he made it up at all!

As to why such an extreme, incomprehensible weather situation was concocted, it was up to heaven or earth to ask the perverse Columbus.

In my opinion, he was not in a good situation back then, and if he didn't come up with something eye-catching to convince everyone that he really had value worth investing in, I was afraid that his vitality would be in question! Ha ha!

Of course, let him carry his bad luck forever, my day of hope has come! What I'm about to do is something I've never done before!

Let's make all the luck come more violently!

"Captain, there are still ten nautical miles left, and we will reach the designated area!" The navigator shouted to me from the other side of the deck, and I could hear that he was also very excited, after all, this was a major event that had not happened in a long, long time.

"Got it! Let's get our fleet ready to slow down! I shouted at him.

"Understood!" The navigator replied loudly.

"Everyone's cheer up! The time to change your destiny is coming! I shouted to the sailors and navigators running around the deck: "Cheer up!" Think of the big ass girls in London pubs, you've got to work hard to make money! Got it! ”

"Roar!" There was a loud echo on the deck!

As I got closer, I looked up at the starry sky, and it seemed that there was an indescribable magnificence in the canopy above the wreck!

Is that the aurora? It looks so beautiful!

"Captain! Not right! We have a fleet on our side! Just three nautical miles to the southwest! The navigator suddenly shouted.

"What? And a fleet! That's impossible! I straightened up, clasped the side of the ship with both hands, and pointed at the navigator and shouted, "Exactly? Damn it! Where did you get the news! ”

"Both lookouts saw it! Captain! This news is true! Look! Their marker lights! The navigator shouted so loudly that he almost burst his lungs!

"How is this possible?" I muttered to myself, where did they get the news? There's no reason for that! Could it be that the news has been exposed?

"Put out the lights! All ships are lights out! Sound control! Execute it now! "This shout made me feel cloudy.

When you are really old, you won't have this feeling of blood surging when you are young!

Will they be passing fleets? The silent prayer spread little by little as the lights went out and the sound suddenly became quiet.

There was an eerie atmosphere throughout the deck. Everyone was silent, but there was a fierce fire in their chests!

I know a lot of people are like me, they're wondering – what's going on? Is it just a coincidence?

In fact, I know very well in my heart, it shouldn't be, where would there be such a coincidental encounter?

On this vast sea, I took another route that was not a route at all, how could it be so coincidental? A fleet happened to meet me?

I don't believe it!

The message leaked

I really don't rule out this possibility!

Although I only told a few people around me this time, and I didn't even tell the mid-level including the boatswain, I still couldn't stop the intelligence merchants who infiltrated me?

Damn it! This kind of problem can happen!

Who could it be? Casarella? Palsto? Or that Meier's bastard who emigrated from France?

Can anyone tell me, what the hell is going on?

"Captain, they're still getting closer!" The navigator hurried up to me and said in a very muffled voice, "Their goal is us!" There is no doubt about it! ”

It's really exposed! Damn it!

The first mate had already drawn the saber at his waist and shouted at me, "Captain, the other party's goal is very clear, it is coming at us!" As things stand, it's not good for us to let them get any closer! If they were Spaniards......"

"Prepare for battle! Get ready for battle! "I can't hide it anymore, and I shout at everyone!

Of course I understood what he meant. If the opponent is a Spaniard, then once they are within two nautical miles, the opponent only needs a charge to reach us in an instant!

To be honest, we used to win the Spanish, but when it comes to white-knuckle battles, I know very well that we are definitely not opponents of the other side!

"Get ready to fight! Get ready for battle! "My roar just fell, and the whole deck and below deck were in chaos! Everyone is running at full strength, and they know how terrible it can be!

"Left full rudder! Full left rudder at full speed! I shouted hoarsely, hoping that my fleet would turn around as soon as possible: "Hit them with the side and give me a hard blow!" ”

I yelled at the first mate with red eyes, and the first mate angrily swung his saber to deliver the order.

I know that he must have the same question in his mind - what went wrong? Why is there such a huge vulnerability?

The hull of the ship twisted violently to the left, and standing on the bridge, I could almost hear the mournful sound of the rudder as it twisted violently!

The hull of the ship tilted to the left, and I grabbed the side of the ship sharply, and turned my head to look in the direction of the incoming ship, full of resentment!

Who leaked the news? Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

The fleet is cross! There was a dense opening sound below deck! That was the prelude to our artillery coming out and firing on the enemy's fleet!

"Boom, boom, boom!" The fierce and continuous cannon fire rang out, and the deck under my feet couldn't help but tremble!

But even such a violent bombardment still didn't make my heart feel a little relieved.

The root of the terrible problem, this huge hole is like a giant shark, violently gnawing at my heart!

Faintly, I saw sparks rising from the ships of the fleet opposite, and they were hit!

At all times, excellent military ability and technology are the things I rely on the most!

The opposing fleet was beaten in all directions, and their ships began to burn, but I did not dare to take it lightly - the Spaniards were very good at breaking through such artillery fire!

This is also the most powerful of them, braving the artillery fire to rush to the front, set up the board, get on the ship, and fight with the hand!

The distance of the fire is still too close! It's too close!

Silently looking at the ships in the distance, they will definitely rush towards them!

If we let them get close, are we really ready for a white-knuckle fight?

Gritting my teeth vigorously, I pulled out the long sword at my waist with a "brush", and I shouted to the first mate again: "All deckmen put down their work, put on the white blade, and prepare for battle!" ”

These deckmen were the most humble characters on board, usually from sharecropper families or farmers who had lost their land.

They are usually on the ship, and earn some living expenses by brushing the deck and doing chores, and I don't mind them parasitic on my ship.

But at this moment, our fleet has reached the most dangerous moment, and if they do not fight for survival, then we will all die!

After all, most of the sailors and navigators were already in gun positions, and these skilled mariners had to play a greater role in battle!

It's their duty and it's what I have to make them do!

The artillery fire became more and more intense, and the opposing fleet was obviously unable to support it, and began to prepare to turn around.

Wait a minute! The Spaniards never turn around! What's going on?

They! They actually swept the fleet across in the artillery fire, and also fired heavy artillery fire at us!

Did they shoot? Why did the Spaniards fire?

And the intensity of the artillery fire is completely beyond our knowledge of the Spaniards!

This...... Is this really a Spaniard?

I was asking myself, but the shells were raining down, no! This is definitely not a tactic of the Spaniards!

They never bothered to put so many guns on board, this is not the style of the Spaniards!

Who the hell is it? My eyes were about to pop out, but I still couldn't see clearly or guess who these people who had been fighting with us for a long time were!

The second ship is on fire! It's dramatic! I saw their masts break, and the bow of the ship was opened by a cannonball a hole the size of a millstone!

At first, it seemed that it could hold on, but soon, it was clear that the second ship could not hold on and began to roll sideways and slowly sink!

The same situation happened with the fifth and ninth ships, and it is obvious that they are almost unable to hold it out!

Who the hell are these people? My heart was burning with rage!

Who the hell is attacking me! Who is it!!

The second ship sank, and the opposing fleet suffered more damage than ours!

They can't hold on! They are on the retreat!

"Are we in pursuit? Captain! The first mate roared in my ear, but a strange thought arose in my consciousness.

What if I chase it and can't come back?

Such strange thoughts have not crossed my mind for a long time, after all, since the victory over the Spaniards, we have no opponent on the sea in the strict sense of the word.

So deep down, what am I worried about? What made me lose my motivation to fight and become so worried?

I do not know.

In his eyes and ears, only fireworks remained......
