Zhang Huan immediately asked people to find a small drum, and the moment he saw the drum, he frowned. When Alan first trained them, he used to use that flat snare drum.

The snare drum beaten with two long chopstick-like drumsticks was not eyed by anyone at the beginning, so this thankless task fell to Zhang Huan.

To this day, Zhang Huan still remembers the eyes of a group of veterans looking at him, but he didn't expect it to come in handy today.

At that time, it was not a war drum like today, and the sound of the war drum of the Xiyi people and the war drum of the Ming Dynasty sounded different, and there was no momentum of the Ming war drum at all.

Zhang Huan ordered someone to find two large chopsticks and hid in the captain's room to practice. After beating for a while, I felt that it was somewhat similar to the war drums of the Xiyi people before I came to the deck.

……

In the thick fog, three Dry Silk warships sailed a mile apart. Because the fog was so strong, they not only lit lanterns, but also beat war drums every once in a while.

In this way, you can know the distance of your companions, so that you will not accidentally injure your companions, and you are afraid that the ship will lose its way in the fog.

The three warships of the Dry Wax were constantly searching and advancing, and what they did not notice was that there was a ship in the mist, approaching them silently from behind.

Zhang Huan commanded the killer whale battleship to approach cautiously from the rear, and he had to be vigilant at all times every little distance he advanced, and the entire battleship was even more silent.

The gunners even filled all the guns with gunpowder, which could be fired at the captain's command.

Listening to the drums getting closer and closer in the distance, Zhang Huan's heart also became nervous. Today's decision is really a bit risky, inserting it in the center of the two dry silk man battleships, although it can maximize the firepower of the killer whale battleship, but it also puts the killer whale battleship in the most dangerous situation.

The strip between the two warships is known as Death Canyon in naval battles, and the two ships can smash the ships in between.

If exposed, the Orca Battleship will become a target for the Dry Wax Warriors. The people on the boat all looked at Zhang Huan nervously, and the gunners even had sweat on their foreheads.

They were under the greatest pressure, and once they missed the first round, they could not inflict heavy damage on the enemy ships, and the killer whale battleships would definitely not be able to withstand the enemy's counterattack.

Zhang Huan looked at the expectant eyes of his subordinates, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said, "To be honest, I'm not sure about this adventure!" ”

Ignoring the uproar of the sailors, Zhang Huan continued: "But! This is our only chance to beat our opponents, are you sure of winning one-on-three? So this risk, it's worth the risk! ”

Zhang Huan glanced at everyone and said, "Some people say that we can take advantage of the fog to escape." That's right! We can escape, but let's not forget that there are our brothers on a desert island not far away. If we escape, they will surely be found by the Dry Wax Man. Seeing that Zhang Huan would not do the matter of Pao Ze's death, Changxingjun would not do it. Let's surprise the dried silk people! Seeing the eyes of his subordinates, Zhang Huan was full of confidence in this sneak attack.

The Orca battleship approached the enemy ship, and the bow of the ship was already inserted into the two Dry Silk Men battleships. At a distance of more than a hundred paces, even the sailors on enemy ships were faintly visible. The sailors on board held their breath for fear of being discovered by their opponents.

At this moment, a drum beat came from one of the enemy ships. Zhang Huan on the killer whale battleship quickly beat the snare drum, and the dry wax people on both ships wondered, when did their companions get so close to them?

The killer whale battleship gradually caught up, and by this time the drums on the other side had already sounded. The breathing of the Changxing Navy became heavy, and the gunners even opened the portholes and pushed the guns out.

A fourth drum suddenly sounded in the distance, and the abrupt sound of the drum startled the dry wax people in shock. They never thought that the Changxing Army would be so bold. It wasn't until the fourth drum beat that I realized something was wrong, but it was too late.

"Fire!" Zhang Huan's voice resounded throughout the Orca battleship, and the gunners stabbed their red-hot iron pincers into the holes.

The killer whale battleship's body shook, spewing out puffs of white smoke. The cannonballs struck the Dry Wax warship with a whistling sound, and the two Dry Wax Warrior warships were hit in many places in an instant.

The 48-pounder cannon was a powerful tool in close combat, and when a huge cannonball hit an enemy ship, it immediately caused a terrifying scene of shattering the ship's planks and flying wood chips.

The dry silk battleship on the left was the most unlucky, being hit at the waterline. A large amount of seawater poured into the battleship, and it tilted in an instant.

After firing a round of shells, the killer whale battleship immediately hung up all its sails and planned to flee at full speed. The counterattack of the dry wax people also started at this moment, listening to the whistling sound of the cannonballs, Zhang Huan shouted: "Lie down!" "He lay on the boat.

For a time, the Orca battleship was hit by the opponent with three shells, one hitting the top side of the ship. The flying sawdust injured two sailors, another hit the artillery deck, and one gunner was killed on the spot.

The early sun cannon was even destroyed by the opponent, and a big hole was opened in the side side. The other shot hit the bow of the ship, and although the damage was not great, the high-speed driving would cause the battleship to enter the water, which was not a big trouble.

Zhang Huan didn't observe the results of the battle, and immediately accelerated his escape. The intact battleship of the Dry Wax Man had already pursued closely, and kept firing at Zhang Huan with its bow gun. There is a great meaning that Zhang Huan's killer whale battleship will not be sunk and will never stop.

The dry silk people had reason to be annoyed, and the three warships rounded up one of the people. As a result, one was sunk by the other party and one was seriously injured, how could the old naval power Gan Wax swallow this breath.

The most frustrating of all was Castro, the commander of the schooner's flotilla, who finally reached Manila in April after a three-month voyage.

He brought forty tons of silver from the New World, which he would unload in Manila and trim for two months. Then they loaded with the silk, spices and other oriental specialties that Manila had traded with Ming merchants for a year, and returned to the New World.

These silks from the Ming Dynasty would be transported overland to the east coast of the New World, and then shipped to Europe to be squandered by the extravagant dried silk royal family.

Captain Castro endured storms and loneliness along the way to finally reach Manila. Here they trimmed for two months, loaded with the silk of the Ming Dynasty, and planned to go straight to the New World.

As a result, just two days out of Manila, he encountered pirates, and Castro had already decided that the enemy must be pirates.

The battleships that immediately turned around and fled when they saw their fleet were the eyes of the pirates, and the pirates who could make the battleships with strong firepower must be extremely powerful.

In this area, Castro could not think of any other force except the Dutch, and when he thought of the Dutch, Castro hesitated.

Do you want to continue to the New World? Or return to Manila for some escape?
