"If that's the case, we can't help it. It's much easier to face one ship than to face three at the same time! Thomas shrugged, "Their officials, lack of silver." ”

There is no Ming official who is not bought by silver.

The pirates who came over at the beginning have been killed, but on the bow deck, more and more pirates came through the gangplank, establishing a small position on the not wide bow of the Flens, so that the soldiers of the Flence could not expand the battle line.

"Turn the rudder, go back, and get away! Don't let the boat get close! Thomas no longer paid attention to the big ship that looked like it was watching in the distance.

Although, he was also apprehensive in his heart.

The number of combat personnel of the Flunce is more than half of the standard configuration, and it is even a little crowded.

A standard battleship has about 200 personnel, and this ship not only has standard personnel, but also personnel rescued from other ships of the entire fleet, the number can be imagined.

After a long battle, the casualties were not small, and there were still more than 300 people, although the ship was short of resources in peacetime, and when it came to fighting, it showed the benefits.

Fighting on the ship, the manpower of various posts is over-specified, the long-range firepower is continuous, and the close hand-to-hand combat can also be supported.

The pirates who swung past from the cable were quickly overwhelmed by the sea of people, and they were allowed to have great abilities, and they could not be used in the crowd, and they could only be like lambs to be slaughtered.

Only the bow pirates were large in number, occupying a lot of places for a while, and the Oriental people were not as burly as the Francose people, but they were short and flexible, and they were well-trained, and their strong lethality made them nailed to the bow of the ship, allowing more people to rush over.

"Let the ships withdraw, you can't let them gradually expand their positions!" When Thomas saw the intention of the other ship, he couldn't help but be anxious.

If the ship's people also come over, they have the advantage of long-range firepower, and they have to fight hand-to-hand with the Ming bandits, who are good at ship warfare.

Let the boat retreat so that more people don't rush to the bow.

At the same time, he was keeping an eye on the big ship that was getting closer and closer.

Under the captain's order, the sails turned, and with the help of the wind, the sharp angle of the bow of the ship slowly broke away from the Ming 400 warship.

"Can't let them withdraw, fire their guns, dry their sails!" Seeing that the Flens was about to evacuate, the other ship was in a hurry, and immediately ordered the ship's gunners to aim at the sails of the other party.

Taking the ship is the priority.

Around the six small boats, from time to time there were shells falling into the water next to them and splashing several feet high, the wind and waves at sea were not small, and many long-range troops on the ship Ference were aimed at them, for a while, the casualties were heavy, and the military attache of the six pins could only grit his teeth and order to retreat first.

Shen Yue's ship came over in the distance, which gave the military attache Liupin a new idea, if he used this ship to get close to carry out a ship battle, the Fran machine people would not be able to escape today no matter what.

He immediately ordered the men on the boat to row towards the boat, which was only a few hundred meters away from them, and he decided to requisition whoever it was.

On the Daming Sea, the sea ships that dared to refuse Zheng's command had not yet appeared.

"My lord, two small boats are coming to us, and the person at the bow of the boat seems to be wearing a six-rank official uniform!" When Shen Yue squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, he found that he couldn't see clearly at all.

At a distance of hundreds of meters, without a telescope, it is really difficult to see clearly what is happening on the ship.

Before the two boats collided together, a person not much bigger than a small black dot used a cable to swing to another boat, someone fell from the Spanish galleon into the sea, and the movements of the six small boats could be seen, but the details could not be seen.

Yang Shan's report made him frown, originally he was just watching the excitement and seizing the opportunity to get a vote.

The two small boats that came over had six-rank officers on them, and the six-rank military attachés who commanded at least one sentry like themselves! What are you doing here, it's not obvious?

"Six-rank military attaché?" Shen Yue asked, "Robbery in official uniforms?" ”

"Artillery ready, kill him!" Without letting Yang Shan react, Shen Yue gave an order that surprised everyone.

Fighting, sailing, he does not interfere, but the direction of the sailing and what the team wants to do are controlled by Shen Yue.

"My lord, kill him, and the Zheng family is really going to die, and there are people who see Francis." Yang Shan's brows were completely furrowed.

"So what? Could it be that Franc will tell Zheng Zhilong, and then Zheng Zhilong will not rob them? Shen Yue didn't think that Francos was so stupid.

Francois wished that the more enemies the Zheng clan had, the better.

When Zheng Zhilong started, he began to rob the merchant ships of the Francois and intercept their trade routes in the East, and the Francos didn't find a chance to take revenge, hoping that there would be another powerful person in the East, preferably someone who could compete with Zheng Zhilong.

At least, when Shen Yue was not evenly matched with Zheng Zhilong to compete with capital, Francos would not betray him.

"Aim, get ready to fire! Tell Frangi that we are allies with them. "Shen Yue's order is beyond doubt.

Yang Shan looked at him for a while, and the distance between the two sides narrowed a lot again.

"My lord, their ship is too small to be hit, why don't you wait for him to come near and use a bow or an arrow or a musket?" Yang Shan saw that Shen Yue was determined to oppose Zheng Zhilong, as their subordinates, what else could they do?

It's not that they have to listen to Shen Yue's orders, but that Xu Yaozong and Xu Jiao's father and daughter are both telling them to obey orders, Shen Yue is the quasi-aunt of the Xu family, and they, the armed family members under Xu Jiao, naturally have to be loyal to Shen Yue after Xu Jiao and Shen Yue get married, otherwise the future will not be wonderful.

"Yes, don't use bows and arrows, don't shoot guns, at such a distance, they don't necessarily know what's going on! It can also catch them off guard. Shen Yue's eyes lit up.

The archers began to secretly prepare, waiting for two small boats to come.

The distance between the two sides kept getting closer, and Shen Yue kept staring at the two small boats on the boat, especially the guy wearing a six-grade official uniform, which was the same as the official uniform that Xu Yaozong threw to him, but he had never worn it, and he also felt that his ship must look much better than that one.

"Wait a little closer!" There are still fifty or sixty meters between the two sides, and they can already see each other's faces clearly, and the archers are about to shoot arrows, Shen Yue shook his head.

The other party didn't speak, the two boats still rowed over quickly, the boat rose and fell with the waves on the sea, the military attache stood on the boat with his legs crossed, but he did not waver at all, and the look on his face was extremely arrogant, he was thinking about how to make the officer on the ship take the initiative to put the command in his own hands.

When the distance was about thirty meters, the military attache with a proud face was about to open his mouth to ask the officials on the other side of the ship to get out and meet him, Shen Yue stood up and gave an order: "Shoot!" ”

"Whoosh skinny!" The archers who had been in ambush for a long time quickly emerged from the ambush position, and there was a flurry of arrows against the people on the two small boats, dozens of bows and arrows, forming a dense rain of arrows against the two ships......
