The one-eyed dragon was about to cry, for a while, after he took this boat, he was proud of his ship, and felt that looking at the sea, there were really not many ships that could be his opponents, and he could basically walk sideways.

But when he met the Spanish fleet today, he realized that his ship was really not a powerful character, and this was just a face, and his ship was beaten into this virtue, the hull was basically beaten to pieces, and even a mast was discounted on the spot, and with a click, it toppled down with the sail and slapped into the sea.

At this time, the whole ship has begun to sink slowly because of a large amount of water, and it has also rolled, the internal structure of the hull has been destroyed because of the load-bearing structure, the stress has changed in many places, and some wood continues to crack on its own, making a crackling sound, and seeing that the boat is hopeless.

"Grandma's, left rudder! Get out of the battle and get ready to abandon ship! Don't block the ships behind! Unlucky! Hurry up and rescue the wounded! Although the one-eyed dragon was reluctant, he still had to give the order to turn the rudder and abandon the ship, and sail the ship away from the battlefield as much as possible, firstly to avoid being attacked by the other side continuously, and on the other hand, not to affect the route of his own ships behind.

The boat scrambled away from the battlefield, and after a few hundred meters, the rearmost sail was also cut off with a hula, and fell, temporarily stabilizing the hull, and the two small sampans hanging on the side of the ship were cut off and thrown into the sea.

The Seawolf Sailor has a clear rule that before the captain abandons the ship, he must first rescue the wounded, and the wounded must be put into the small sampan first, so that others can abandon the ship with him, and the wounded must not be easily abandoned, and the captain must be the last person to leave the ship, otherwise even if he goes back alive, he will be severely punished in the torture hall, and throwing it into the hard labor camp is the lightest, and the serious one may be hanged directly.

So although the ship was about to sink, the sailors on board, under the command of the one-eyed dragon, first put some of the wounded from the ship into the sampan, and the others left the ship, and the one-eyed dragon looked at his ship with tears in his eyes, shook his head and slapped it heavily on the side of the ship, and then jumped into the sampan.

And the ship did not work for a while, and then slowly sank into the water, and all the living sailors, in the sampan, were full of tears, looking at the scene of their ship sinking at the last time, and in the shouting of the one-eyed dragon, everyone saluted the boat, until the ship was completely sunk into the water, and then they rowed the sampan and sailed towards Chicken Coop Bay, this battle was destined to be no longer able to participate in it.

Under the intensive fire of the Spanish fleet, four more ships of the Sea Wolf were destroyed due to excessive bullets, and the people on board had to abandon the ship to escape.

Two of the ships did not even have time to withdraw from the battlefield, so they capsized and sank in the sea on the spot, and one ship disintegrated directly on the surface of the sea, and the sailors fell into the sea one after another.

Fortunately, the sea wolf still had a lot of small boats with the fleet, and immediately launched a rescue on the battlefield, salvaging these sailors who had fallen into the water one after another, so as not to let them drown in the sea.

But on the surface, the Spaniards seem to have taken a big advantage, but in fact the Spaniards are not having a good time, this way of fighting, they don't like it very much, the other side has too many ships, they can't keep busy at all, and the other side is obviously not easy to mess with, although the firepower of their single ship is weak, but the number of ships is very large, and the power of the cannons on the ship is not weaker than them too much, when the fish column passes by their ship's side, they also keep firing at them.

The Spanish warships were tall and were also very good targets, and there was basically no possibility of losing at this distance, so when the two sides started the war, these Spanish ships also suffered a lot of shells, and the starboard side of the hull was also beaten like a hornet's nest.

Fortunately, their hulls are relatively strong, and although they were hit a lot, they were not destroyed, but the people in the hull were still killed and injured.

This is a situation they have never encountered when they fought with Chinese pirates before, and although they seem to have an advantage in this fight, in fact, they may not be able to escape in the end.

What surprised them even more was that the shells used by these Chinese pirates were not just a single solid shell, but also a lot of chain shells.

The main function of the chain bomb is to attack the mast and the sail and the sail, after the chain bomb flies out of the gun chamber, it rotates rapidly under the action of inertia and centrifugal force, sweeping everything along the way, as long as the sail rope is hung, it will be cut off immediately, once it hits the mast, it will destroy the mast, even if it hits the mast, at least it will cause huge damage to the mast, as for hanging the sail, when even if the sail can be torn off, at least a large piece is not a problem.

Therefore, in the naval warfare of the sailing era, the chain bullet is a very important shell, and there are more equipment on the warships of European countries, but as for the popularity, it cannot be called a lot.

After all, this kind of chain bomb is quite troublesome to produce, and the production process is complicated, so the manufacturing cost and purchase cost are much higher than ordinary solid bullets, and a chain bullet can buy a lot of solid bullets, so even if it is a wealthy Spaniard, there is only a small amount of equipment on his ship, and he can't use it in large quantities.

But today they found that in the hands of these Chinese pirates, they had a lot of these chain bullets, which the other side began to use from the beginning of the war, constantly attacking their Spanish warships.

The flying chain bullets flew across the Spanish ships, tearing apart everything that stood in their way, causing heavy losses on several large Spanish plywood ships.

Although Western-style sailing ships have many advantages, but also have some disadvantages, first of all, their sails are very complicated, and the natural operation will be quite complicated.

Therefore, in terms of sail operation, the sailors of Western-style sailing ships have very high requirements for sailors, who often climb to the top of the high mast under bad sea conditions and weather, walk with bare hands on the crossbar, and maintain balance on the mast that constantly swings violently, while also operating the sails.

Therefore, some people say that sailors are the bravest people in this world, and there is a certain truth, but the complicated sail ropes have also become their weakness, these sail lines on the ship like a forest, are easily damaged by chain bullets, even if the mast is not broken, as long as they can cut off enough sail lines, it can still make them incapacitated.

In the era of sailing, if the sail and mast were damaged, it would be like a woman, stripped of her clothes and tied to the bed, waiting to be fucked.

Today, the sea wolves obviously knew that their cannons alone could not easily destroy these Spanish warships, so they spared no expense to take out a lot of chain bullets to attack the sails of the Spanish warships.

Although Anthony was satisfied with their results, he also realized that danger was coming, and he found that the masts and sails of each ship in his fleet had been damaged to varying degrees.

If he continued like this, his fleet would probably become a super-large rowing boat, so he felt terrified that this group of Chinese pirates, who seemed to know their Western ships and tactics well, seized on their weaknesses as soon as they came up, and attacked their weakest sails and masts at all costs.

And the other party is obviously fully prepared, as if they have been waiting for this day for a long time, and have prepared so many chain bombs in advance as their trump card.

How is this possible? It is impossible for these Chinese pirates to know in advance that the Spaniards are here, but the various manifestations of the enemy these days seem to show that they have actually known the Tao for a long time, and they have been preparing for it for a long time.

They first built a well-established defense at Jonlong Bay, built an unusually strong fort, and then, in a short time, a large fleet of ships rushed to support, and then prepared so many chain bombs to attack their ships.

If they weren't prepared in advance, Anthony really couldn't think of anything they could do so well, but it didn't make sense! How did these Chinese pirates know in advance that they were coming? Is it true that some of them have the ability to foresee the future, as the legend suggests?

Anthony shook his head and threw the thought to the back of his mind, how could that be? This must be the unrealistic idea that he has suffered a series of setbacks in recent days, and there is no possibility that the Chinese pirates will have this ability to predict the future.

He had to hurry up and defeat this fleet now, although at present, the captains and sailors in his fleet had done a good job, the artillery fire was very fierce, and it was also very accurate, and they had destroyed many enemy ships, but the problem was that the enemy was not as vulnerable as he thought, and their resilience was too strong to continue the battle despite such losses.

So he ordered the fleet to change course, with the first ship at the front, cut into the local fleet, break up its fleet, give full play to the advantage of the firepower of their hull on both sides, and try to kill and damage the enemy ships as much as possible, and strive to defeat them as soon as possible.

Other than that, he couldn't think of a better way, but fortunately their ships were structurally sturdy, and it was a big deal to ram their ships while using artillery.
