088 Watching the lively yellow finches on the battlefield
"Take the flag off!" Shen Yue stood at the bow of the ship, and after discovering the ships fighting at sea, he gave the order as soon as possible.
The sound of cannons in his ears was getting louder and louder, and the Kusade at the top of the mast had already discovered three large ships, and when Shen Yue saw it, one had already sunk.
The closer you get, the clearer you can see.
"Young master, why did you take off the flag? If we are misunderstood by both sides, wouldn't we ......" Shen Qi didn't understand, Xu Duofu and Yang Shan were equally puzzled, but they didn't ask.
Hanging the flag, the Zheng clan will not attack, and the besieged Francois should not take the initiative to attack when he sees a handsome flag that is different from the Zheng flag.
"If the Zheng clan wins, we will help the Zheng clan's subordinates; If Zheng loses, help Francis! Shen Yue smiled. Get close to them first, let's watch the excitement on the side, and wait for them to decide the winner. ”
"My lord, if the Zheng family knows, let's ......" Hearing Shen Yue's abacus, Yang Shan was anxious.
"We have a feud with the Zheng family, why don't we watch the excitement?" Shen Yue pouted and said, "Now the Zheng clan only has two ships. ”
Shen Yue hoped that the Furlong Robot would kill Zheng's ship and lose both, and then he robbed the Franc Robot.
When he decided to go to sea, he didn't think about doing business honestly, and equipping sailing ships with iron armor in order to deal with being robbed and robbing others.
Maritime businessmen, when they meet someone who is stronger than themselves, they are businessmen, and when they encounter someone who is too weaker than themselves, they will naturally become bandits, and they will rob them directly.
The primitive accumulation of capital is bloody, and this world is a world that speaks with its fists.
People have no windfall and no wealth, and horses have no night grass and no fat.
Shen Yue will not be scared just because he hears Zheng Zhilong's name, and when he sees it, he may be afraid.
"Prepare for battle!" Yang Shan couldn't refute it, and Xu Duofu didn't persuade him anymore, the current situation can only be like this.
What's more, the robbery of the Furlong machine ship, there is enough gold and silver on it; If you don't rob them, if you help them, you can also get a reward, and everyone can share a lot and make a fortune.
The dragon flag fluttering on the bow of the ship and the Sun character handsome flag were taken down by the hand, and the boat where Shen Yue was, in addition to the appearance, it could be seen that it was a naval warship, and there was nothing that could identify it.
The unmanned ship on board was dressed as an officer and soldier of the imperial court, and there was no flag to identify them.
When Shen Yue's ship reached the kilometer, the Spanish galleon was rushing towards the ship blocking their course, the Spanish soldiers on the deck of the ship were ready for battle with serious faces, the sword and shield men, spearmen, and archers were all waiting, and on the Zheng warship, in addition to the shipwrights who operated the ship, the combat personnel were also prepared.
The lancet was held in the mouth, and many people climbed on the sails, grasping the rope in both hands, and as soon as the distance was sufficient, they used the rope to swing over.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the sharp ramming angle in front of the Fluence slammed into the Zheng warship that was blocking diagonally in front.
The violent vibration caused the pirates on the ship's sails to swing in the other direction, and then swung over the Flens, where they let go of the ropes and landed on the Flens.
"Woo Woo ......"
"Bang!" "Bang" "Bang! ”
The sound of bows and arrows bursting through the air and the sound of gunfire intensified, and many of the pirates who had swept to the Flence were killed, and their bodies fell to the deck.
More often than not, it was taken directly from the ship's side to the gangplank on the deck of the Flens.
In an instant, the deck of the Flens was in the middle of a scuffle.
Six fully loaded boats rowed towards the Frens, the archers on board shooting arrows and the soldiers and sailors on the Frens falling from their arrows. The other ship was also only a few dozen meters away from the Frens, and the shipwrights were constantly adjusting their course to approach from the bow. On the deck, the archers and musketeers kept firing at the Frens, and the guns on the sides and stern of the Frens could not hit the remaining ship, so they could only aim the guns at = the boat that was rowing hard, and once the ship was in range, they opened fire directly, forcing the ship to not get closer.
"Go around, get past that ship!" Seeing that he could not get close to the Frense, another burly hunter on the ship gave the order to make a direct detour, using the gangplank to jump to the boat inserted by the collision angle, and then jump over.
Shen Yue, who was in the distance, saw that the two sides had started a boat battle, and couldn't help but curse.
I couldn't see it clearly before, they didn't have a telescope on board.
"Closer! It's not clear here! "At a distance of kilometers, the range of the Hongyi cannon has long been there, and at the moment they are just watching the excitement.
Shen Yue wanted to watch the boarding battle up close, which could not be seen in any film and television work.
It's too far away, and there are no telescopes, how can it work?
At first, watching those people swing over with ropes, many people were shot and fell, just a small point. Young Master Shen was not happy.
"My lord, if you get too close, what if the Francois think we are reinforcements and shoot at us?" Xu Duofu asked worriedly.
"If they dare to open fire, sink them! Now where do they still have the heart to take care of us! Shen Yue said.
The boat continued to move forward.
Thomas was burly and personally commanded the battle on the ship, and there were more and more Ming Empire pirates coming from the other ship, and the small boats on both sides were constantly coming towards this side, and the reinforced ship in the distance had not fired a cannon, which made him even more worried.
"Captain, their ship is coming, do you want to sink it?" The first mate asked the captain.
"Orwell, are you sure you see a different flag than they do?" Lawrence did not answer the first mate, but asked a young blonde man.
"My lord, I can see clearly, before they took down the flag, there were two kinds of flags, one was the dragon flag of the Ming Empire's sailors, and the other flag was different from the one hung on these Zheng ships!" Orwell replied in the affirmative.
Hearing this, Thomas turned to the first mate and said, "Be ready, don't fire until they don't fire at us!" ”
"Captain!"
"Captain Thomas!"
The first mate and Kent Tools spoke in unison.
Wait until the other side is closer, and the ship's large and small cannons fire at the same time, how can you stand it?
The ship is bigger, and the guns on the ship will naturally be more.
"The ship has not been fired, and it is likely not their reinforcements." "If we had fired a shot, how would we have dealt with it now?" This is the blessing ship of the Ming Empire's sailors, their large capital warship, equipped with two Hongyi cannons with a range of more than two nautical miles, at least twelve imitation of our Furlong cannons, and many more firearms......"
The combat effectiveness of the Fu ship is not at all comparable to that of the four hundred warships.
Thomas knew the Ming Empire's warship configuration and how they fought.
"Zheng Zhilong himself is a bandit who surrendered to their emperor, and now it is normal for other officials not to help him." Thomas continued.
"What if they wait for us to kill these pirates and then rob us?" Sir Kent asked.
