This time, led by the "Sea Monarch" and "Henry VII", hundreds of ships flew into the French camp with large and small shells, bringing with them the sound of crashing into the water and the sound of large boards oppressing and destroying.

The third round of shelling was launched almost immediately after the French shelling.

At this time, most of the French army was appreciating their side's counterattack against the English coalition forces, and they laughed unscrupulously when they saw the black smoke constantly rising in the distance, and even some of the ships tilted and jumped into the water.

And just as they were triumphant, the shells of the English coalition came to their eyes and fell straight into their ships.

In an instant, as the distance got closer, the French army was attacked more and more damaged, and even the flagship "Hunter" suffered from the obscurity of three shells, two large holes were broken in the deck, and the shells easily tore through the fragile and thin deck, reaching the interior of the hull, inflicting great casualties on the "Hunter" personnel.

"Moreover, one of the English shells hit the 'Hunter' directly from the side of the ship, which not only caused great casualties to the sailors operating the oars!"

"Moreover, the shell caused a huge hole, which is conservatively estimated to be the size of a large gate."

"Due to the heavy casualties of the sailors and the fact that the hole is too large, the repair work has not progressed for a long time, and the cave has more than doubled in size and is still expanding!"

"A rough estimate, there were originally more than 300 people on board, but now there are only more than 30 able-bodied, more than 100 wounded, and more than 100 overboard!"

After the shelling, General Reinado had dust on his face, several holes in his clothes, and his lips were bitten with a trace of blood at the corners of his mouth.

And the first mate of the 'Hunter', a young master from a wealthy merchant family, limped to Reinado's side with a limp at this time, reporting with a crying voice, and at this time General Reinado was also tidying up his clothes.

Facing the first mate's report with a hint of crying, Reinado still packed his clothes by himself, and after listening, he turned his head and asked calmly, "Then what?" ”

Faced with such a dialogue tone from his boss, the young first mate was about to cry, and his voice became more and more decadent.

"Your Excellency General, at present, the 'Hunter' has lost its ability to move, and it is conservatively estimated that in half an hour, the 'Hunter' will sink in this sea area!"

Holding his right leg scratched by the blown wood, the first mate felt that he was really unlucky, and he wanted to come over to touch the military merits, but who knew that he would encounter a hard stubble, and if he got it, not only did he spend money to buy the opportunity in vain, but he also had to lose a lot of money at present.

Reinado would not know the regret of the loss in his heart of the first mate next to him, but he also had mixed feelings in his heart.

"In other words, we have to surrender?"

After a while, such a sentence floated out of Reinado's mouth, and the young first mate could only nod slightly with a sad face.

Stepping out of the cabin, Reinado looked at the crumbling deck, the wailing sailors with missing arms and legs, and the corpses still bleeding red, and found a safe and relatively clean place, and looked around.

I saw that the French expeditionary fleet, which was originally majestic and large-scale, was now in a mess.

The three capital ships of more than 1,000 tons have always been the pioneer of the front, and at this time only one 'Hunter' remains, and the other two went directly to the sea to fish, and the remaining ships, the 800-ton Galen ships, are only four, and two of them are half cut into the water.

And the rest of the ships basically either smoked or half-cut into the water, and there were less than twenty intact left, and he lost this naval decisive battle.

Lost to one of Europa's famous fish belly troops, at the hands of the English, despised by the Europa.

Venice lost so many ships in this naval battle, he was not distressed at all, with the level of Venice shipbuilding, it would take less than a month to basically make up for the losses.

Unfortunately, after this naval battle, his reputation in Venice may have plummeted.

At this time, on the side of the English coalition, Major James, who was sitting on the 'Sea Monarch', was like a happy child at this time, jumping around, with an exaggerated smile on his face, and he couldn't stop it.

After laughing for a while, James rubbed his somewhat stiff face with his hand and said to the herald: "Inform me of all the ships, press them, and force them to surrender for me, now these ships are ours!" ”

The herald was also happy, and answered loudly with joy, and then gave the order in a hurry.

"These will all be our England's from now on!" Holding the monoculars, Major James looked up with his right eye, looking at the smoke-emitting 'Hunter' and other ships, salivating and longing for the situation after the English navy became stronger.

Subsequently, under the orders of Major James, the ships of the Combined Navy, which were able to move, were basically pressed up in unison, and the distance between them and the French ships was getting closer and closer, and this sense of oppression was very terrifying.

"First mate, let's surrender! This time we lost, and if we resisted, we would eventually be captured. ”

On a 500-ton ship, seeing the first mate preparing to fire a cannon, a veteran in his thirties on the side persuaded him.

The captain of the ship was already dead, leaving the first mate in charge, and the first mate was just about to shell the approaching English ship, but the veteran hurriedly stopped him, he didn't want to accompany the young first mate to his death.

"That-" After hearing the dissuasion, the young first mate hesitated for a moment, and then bowed his head and said, "Surrender!" ”

Slowly, a white flag was raised, and then, as if contagious, all the surviving ships also raised the white flag and surrendered.

In the end, the "Hunter" seemed to be afraid of face, and only when it was the last one did it raise the white flag and surrender.

At this time, the situation of the naval battle in Edinburgh seemed to be known to the civilians, especially the strength of the French expeditionary force, which made these Scots not have a trace of confidence in the combined navy of England.

Most of the nobles and commoners in the city drove carriages, donkey carts, and even small carts to the outside of the city, and Edward did not stop them, opened the city gates, let them go.

After all, if the French army won the naval battle, a military disaster in Edinburgh was inevitable.

Moreover, Edward himself sent people to drive small boats to observe from the edge of the battlefield, and if the English fleet fell into disadvantage, he hurriedly took the maid and the little Lori and returned to England in the carriage that had been prepared long ago.

At this time, in a secret room, Donald, Russell, and Scott, who had already conspired, were happily discussing at this time.
