In the distance, the ships were much larger than the ones they were fighting, and it was only after Nagito watched the ship at sea level that it was halfway visible before Thomas could see the mast through the telescope.

The dragon flag fluttering high and the handsome flag with the word "Sun" made Thomas's heart sink to the bottom.

The bandits on the opposite side also have the identity of the Great Ming Water Master.

Everyone knows this, and in the Atlantic, this situation is even worse, when encountering a weak merchant ship or fleet, the flag is replaced by a pirate flag, and it goes up directly to grab it.

The Daming bandits were even more rampant, hanging a handsome flag and robbing.

Themselves, they sank one of the opposing ships, took the advantage, and reinforcements came!

Frens did not believe that they would have reinforcements of their own at this time, and he did not want the Dutch ships to arrive.

"Turn the rudder! Ready to leave! Seeing that the two warships of the other side were still moving to both sides, and kept firing guns to cover the approach of the pirates on the small boat, and a larger Ming Empire warship reinforcement was about to arrive, Thomas immediately made a decision and ordered to slip away.

"Thomas, now that we have the upper hand, take out these two ships, and it will be much easier for us in the future." Kent saw the other party's flagship sinking, and the excitement on his face could not be hidden. "Why do you want to evacuate? Are you worried about the people on these boats? Our archers and musketeers let them all sink before they even got close! ”

The pirates on the boat were so fierce that they didn't care about death, but Kent didn't care too much.

"These people are more threatening than warships! If it weren't for the things we shipped, they would have sunk the Frense! Thomas said as he handed the telescope to Sir Kent and pointed to the distance, "Their reinforcements have arrived, and now they can't be separated, their reinforcements are coming, and we don't have a chance to ......."

Sir Kent took the binoculars and looked out to sea in the distance, where a warship larger than the besieging ship appeared in the telescope.

In the fleet that pursued them before, three small boats left, and they naturally knew what they were doing, otherwise they would not have kept fleeing.

Sir Kent's face also turned ugly, "The Flence carries the hope of the kingdom, and cannot be sunk here or robbed by them. ”

The Spanish galleon, named Furence, traveled from Spain to the Ming Empire for more than a year, not only encountered British plundering ships on the way, but also continued to be intercepted by the Dutch after entering the Indian Ocean, and the entire fleet consisted of a total of five newest galleons, and now only the Ference remains.

They had to bring back the goods they needed from Daming to create a secure sea route to alleviate the Kingdom's financial crisis and finance more ships to defeat the rebellious Seven-Province Alliance and the rising British.

Seeing that the sails of the Flence began to turn, the two warships discovered their intentions, and the decision was made almost at the same time. "Stop them! Don't let them run! ”

The small boat led by the commander was ready to board, and it was already within thirty meters of each other, and if they were allowed to run, it was not known when they would be caught next time.

"Reinforcements are coming!"

At this time, the two ships also spotted the warship coming from behind.

Although they couldn't see the flag clearly, the shape of the ship made it clear to them that this was a Ming warship!

Their reinforcements came.

The two ships saw that reinforcements were coming, and they couldn't let the Flens escape.

Nor did they bother to harass the Furance any longer, and covered the small boats that were about to land, and both ships quickly turned to seize the upper hand.

Without the cover of the guns of the two warships, the Flens's bows and arrows and bullets instantly became dense, and people on the boat continued to be hit and fell into the water, and the speed became slower and slower.

As the sails adjusted, the speed of the Fluns became faster, gradually widening the distance between it and the boat.

"What are they doing! Cover with guns! I had to cut off their heads! The six-rank military attache on the boat couldn't help but jump like thunder when he saw the two warships running forward at maximum speed.

Without the cover of the guns on the ship, the Franco-men calmly fired with their bows and muskets on the ship, and before they could get close to their ship, the people on the small boat were doomed.

The previous warship was silent, and two small boats were put down to escape, and the other four small boats were originally lowered to save people, without shields, it was difficult to resist the bows and arrows and bullets fired from the ships. Without cover, it's harder to get closer.

"Retreat!"

In this case, you can only retreat to the back.

"My lord, reinforcements are coming! Look, our blessed ship! "When the distance was widened, the lethality of the bows and arrows and bullets on the Fluns instantly decreased.

The military attache stared gloomily at the two ships that had given up cover blocking the path of the Furens, and couldn't help but curse secretly, there were no reinforcements, and it was useless to block the ball!

Hearing that a bigger lucky ship came from behind, he knew the intentions of his subordinates, "In this battle, they should be the first to act!" ”

The Fluence was heavy and full of speed, and the two warships arrived at the front, outflanked them on the left and right, and dodged the direction of the Ference's firing, no matter how the Ference turned, they would quickly block the front, and the Ference had no guns in front, only ramming angles, so they could only helplessly adjust their direction at sea.

The warship that came from a distance larger than the Flence got closer and closer, and another warship blocked dozens of meters in front of the Flens, and the ship's cannons opened sparsely, although it could not cause an impact, but it made the entire ship panic.

"Bump it over!" Thomas saw the ship ahead of him blocking the channel, and roared and gave the order for the Flenss to crash over.

In front of the Flens, there are still sharp ramming angles.

In the original naval warfare, this thing belonged to heavy weapons. Now artillery played a greater role in naval warfare, and the British and Dutch had eliminated the bow ramming angle, while the Spaniards still retained it.

"With a cannon! Don't bang! Kent shouted in panic, and at this time, the elegance of the nobles was no longer visible in him, "Once they collide, they will board the ship!" ”

The Ming Empire pirates who were not afraid of death on those small boats just now already scared him.

Nothing in the Kingdom of Spain would have done such a thing.

"Can't get around, their ships are lighter and faster!" Thomas knew what the consequences would be, and at this point, there was no other way, "Artillery ready, stop the other ship from approaching!" Others prepare for a ship battle! ”

The big ship in the distance is getting closer and closer, and you can already clearly see the shape of the ship without a telescope.

If you don't run away, you won't be able to run away at all.

The bow and stern guns of the Zheng warship continued to fire fire, interfering with the Fluence to adjust its course while approaching.

After understanding his men's intentions, the military attache of the sixth rank brandished a lancet and ordered the rest of the small boats to row over and pursue the Flens, which was hundreds of meters away.
