The black dots in the clairvoyant mirror disappeared, but an ominous premonition rose from Van Ooster's heart.

The feeling, like a well-trained old hound's awareness of the monsters lurking around him, made Van Oost deeply uneasy, and he wanted to ask the flagship Spirit, but he couldn't ask because of the simplicity of the flag.

The three Galen ships were still slowly sailing due north against the northwest wind, and just as Van Oost was hesitating to send a small sampan to the Spirit to communicate, the enemy suddenly appeared! Van Oost couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart - the enemy came so quickly!

The low sound of conch sounded one after another, and the Spirit also hung out the banner of "full sails, one horizontal line".

In the clairvoyant, five warships appeared in a tight single column on the sea about 5 or 6 miles to the northwest; All the ships were the same as the one they had sunk more than ten days ago, with two big wings!

Van Oost immediately understood: the other party was here for revenge, and he was quite prepared!

Sure enough, as the three Galen ships began to raise their sails and turn, the single column also adjusted its direction accordingly - the Courage slowly turned its bow to the west, and the single column also deviated to the southwest.

Thinking of the opponent's crossbow arrows with a range of up to a mile and a volley explosion, Van Oost immediately understood the other party's intention: to always attack in the direction of the bow of the Spirit, so that the powerful side fire of the Galen ship would be missed!

In this way, the entire Dutch fleet will be led by the nose by the opponent, constantly adjusting its course, but it will never be able to attack the opponent with broadside fire.

"Damn it!" Van Oost cursed softly, not knowing if Hunter saw the opponent's tactical intentions. His gaze rested anxiously on the top of the tall mainmast of the Courage not far away - if Hunter had seen it, he would have ordered the Decisive and St. Paul to turn southwest to line up in order to break the Akito's tactics!

While waiting anxiously, Van Oost still had a huge question circling in his mind: Akito's tactic was too targeted, and it was obvious that he knew the location and distribution of the Dutch fleet in advance, and the problem was the vast sea. How did they know so clearly?

Time was slowly passing, and the original flag still hung on the top of the mainmast of the Courage, unchanged; And the Akito has quickly approached a distance of less than 3 miles due to the tailwind!

"Stupid guy!" Van Oost cursed in a low voice, clenched his fist and slammed it on the rudder, and after a little hesitation he spun the rudder, and commanded loudly, "Full sail!" Turn to the Southwest! Repeat, full sails! Turn to the Southwest! ”

"Captain. If we disobey orders, we will go to court-martial! His first mate hurried over and shouted, "Aren't you afraid of being hanged?" ”

"Shut up!" Van Oost exclaimed, "If you want to go to the military court, you have to win the battle to have a chance...... The dead will not be judged! Go ahead and keep an eye on the spinnaker! ”

The first mate ran to the bow of the ship, and the St. Paul made a short arc and quickly distanced itself from the other two Dutch warships.

"Woohoo! …… Bang bang! ”

"Tom tom!"

Say it's too late, then it's too fast. Just when the St. Paul crossed the downwind of the Ming route, the two sides finally began to exchange fire!

It was exactly what Van Oost had predicted - the Spirit and the Resolute had as many as 36 guns on their sides. But only the three 18-pounder guns on the bow of the Spirit could do anything, but they were not accurate at all for the Ming warships that swept quickly from six or seven hundred meters away; On the other hand, the No. 2 Fortune Ship headed by the Ming people, the two ballista batteries covered by cowhide on the foredeck rotated freely, and two high-explosive crossbow arrows were sent to the foremast of the Spirit from a distance, tearing the huge four-cornered sail to pieces!

Not only that, but as the No. 2 Fortune ship swept past the bow of the Spirit. The 6-pounder Furlong cannon on its side and the ballista gun on the stern of the ship also opened fire one after another, and for a time the bow of the Spirit was blown to sawdust and the spinnaker was torn to pieces!

Such an attack would be staged by every ship behind the No. 2 Fu ship, and Van Oost knew it very well. With such a blow, the Spirit would soon lose most of its sails and become a living target floating on the sea, and even the Resolute could be killed behind it.

This was only the first attack, and Van Oost believed that the two Galen ships without sails and without power would eventually be torn to shreds like toothless tigers!

These Ming people are so special, I don't know what magic they have cast, but they can make these shrimp warships that are one or two laps smaller than the Galen ship have such a fast speed, and their weapons also make Van Oerst feel frightened - not to mention, what flies out after the explosion is so sharp that the huge quadrangular sail will basically be scrapped as long as it hits a shot, and it is all strips of rags, and it can't even be repaired!

Are these people really from the Ming Kingdom? How is it not at all like that stupid and stubborn Chen Xinji?

Shocked, Van Oost was particularly glad that his determination had freed the St. Paul from the unawkward formation, and that he was now about a mile southwest of the Courage, while the Ming ships, after the first round of attacks, turned westward.

This means that as long as the St. Paul can stick to it, it will be able to beat the Munjin warship with 18 guns on the side of the side!

What is the initiative on the battlefield, this is the initiative on the battlefield with the best position!

"Heading - due west!" Van Oost commanded in a loud voice, his tone full of bloodthirsty excitement, "The starboard gun windows are all open, ready to shell!" ”

His order was quickly passed on, and soon there was a sound of opening the cannon window one after another on the right side, and the muzzles of 18 black holes stretched out one after another.

Raising the clairing mirror and looking at the extremely skillful and obviously well-trained sailors on the No. 2 Fu ship in the camera, who were busy turning their sails and lowering the rudder, Van Oost couldn't help but show a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, and gritted his teeth in a voice that only he could hear, "To a military court?" Hanging? …… I don't know who it is! …… If I hadn't reacted quickly and taken this great position, they would have been waiting to be beaten! …… It's up to me to save this battle! A bunch of idiots! ”

"Report! You're all set! ”

The first mate's report interrupted Van Oersted's muttering, and after putting down the clairvoyant, he squinted and measured the distance between the two sides, and then gave a categorical order, "Fire!" ”

"Tom! ~~ Tom tom! ～～”

The deafening sound of cannons rang out one after another, and the thick green smoke suddenly enveloped the St. Paul; Van Oost took a full breath of choking air and spoke intoxicatedly.

"Yellow-skinned monkeys, wait to hell!"
