It is precisely because of this that when the pirates fought close combat with the guards on the Spanish armed merchant ships, but they were evenly matched, it is conceivable that the pirates were surprised and shocked. 35xs

You know, even ordinary pirates have a considerable degree of bravery in melee combat, and in the Redbeard Pirates, they have a considerable degree of self-confidence in melee combat.

Because in the Redbeard Pirate Regiment, there are more than a dozen Viking warriors.

You know, in the Caribbean, the Vikings are world-famous.

And if Redbeard hadn't helped a tribe of Vikings, he wouldn't have had as many as a dozen Viking warriors.

The Redbeard Pirate Regiment also relied on these dozen Viking warriors as a breakthrough force, and the rest of the pirates followed these dozen Viking warriors to rush together, so that they never failed in many side battles.

However, today, this is the first time that the Redbeard Pirates have encountered an opponent in such a way of fighting, because although the Viking warriors are known for their bravery, you must know that this time they are also soldiers belonging to the regular Spanish navy.

You must know that as the strongest hegemon on the sea at that time, the strength of the Spanish Navy was not boasted, and at that time, even the British Navy was far inferior to the Spanish Navy.

Therefore, although the navy has a strong advantage in long-range, it makes their investment and achievements in melee combat not as dazzling as in long-range.

However, despite this, the Spanish Navy was the dominant force at sea at that time, so their melee combat ability was not comparable to that of ordinary armies.

Maybe one or two Spanish navy can't beat Viking warriors in close combat, but if it is five or six Spanish naval soldiers, it is enough to compete with Viking warriors.

At this time, on these eight warships, except for some disguised escorts and merchants, the rest were soldiers of the Spanish Navy, and the number of them was as many as hundreds.

The elite Spanish Navy numbered in the hundreds, but it was enough to easily take out a dozen Viking warriors who were strong in melee combat.

However, the problem is that in addition to these dozen Viking warriors, there are nearly 1,000 ordinary pirates on the pirate side, perhaps in terms of combat quality, pirates are far inferior to the navy, but their number is also several times that of the Spanish navy.

Coupled with the fact that there were more than a dozen Viking warriors with strong fighting power, nearly a thousand pirates were able to barely compete with hundreds of Spanish regular navy.

However, if there is no accident, then the final victory will definitely belong to the Spanish Navy.

The reason is also very simple, because the reason why the pirates are now able to barely compete with the Spanish Navy is mainly supported by the bravery of a dozen Viking pirates.

And while Viking warriors are notoriously battle freaks, they're not robots either! And as long as it's people, then they feel tired.

Therefore, as time passed, when the physical strength of the brave Viking warriors was exhausted, it was absolutely impossible for the remaining pirates to survive the attack of the Spanish Navy without the leadership of a dozen brave Viking warriors.

However, all of this became confusing after the contractors joined.

At this time, when the Spanish Navy and the pirates were inseparable, more than 20 pirates led by Yefeng had already approached the outermost part of the battlefield on a monorail.

And just then, he suddenly got a hint of the Nightmare Mark:

"Authentication Passed ......"

"Contractor 0413 has chosen the pirate camp and has a neutral reputation of 460/1000 points."

"Check that the contractor owns a monorail and has 23 pirates under his command."

"Contractor 0413 has qualified to enter the Battlefield of Historical Script: The Destruction of the Armada (Revenge). 35xs”

"Contractor 0413, are you going to pilot this monorail into the battlefield of the historical script: the destruction of the Armada (revenge)? Yes/No? ”

Faced with such an option, Ye Feng of course chose 'yes' without thinking about it, after all, he deliberately rushed over from more than a dozen nautical miles away this time, didn't he participate in the battle to gain prestige and wealth!

And just after he decisively chose yes, the Nightmare Mark also came with a series of prompts again:

"Historical plot description: Since the last time the Spanish rich man Fernandez's three merchant ships full of gold and silver treasures were plundered by British pirates and navies.

Because the king of Spain at this time had no intention of completely breaking relations with England, Fernandez could only retaliate through his own strength.

Therefore, after spending a lot of money, he succeeded in hiring a large number of local naval soldiers as a force for revenge, and the Spanish aristocracy also turned a blind eye to this.

This time, however, he did not take revenge immediately, but deliberately endured the humiliation and waited for the vigils' vigilance to disappear, and finally, months later, after a few months had passed.

Fernandez once again led the merchant ship to the British waters, but this time, instead of using his own banner, he chose the name of a small merchant group at random.

And this time, although his merchant ship was claimed to be loaded with a lot of wealth, in fact, there was not much wealth in the merchant ship, but it was loaded with a full Spanish navy.

In order to inflict heavy damage on the British navy and pirates, to vent the evil breath last time.

And as Fernandez expected, after he first entered British waters, it didn't take long for him to be targeted by pirates, although this time only the pirates took the bait, and failed to attract the British navy, which is a bit regrettable.

However, the battle was already on the verge of breaking out at this time, so he decided to deal a heavy blow to these hateful pirates first, and as for the British navy, he could only save it for the next time.

However, the result of the battle was much more than Fernandez expected, and what should have been an easy battle fell into a state of stalemate like a muddy pool......

After reading the information from the Nightmare Mark, Nightfeng also had a general understanding of this battle, although for the pirates, this time the merchant ships did not carry a lot of wealth, so even if they won in the end, it would be worth the loss.

However, for Nightfeng, the merchant ships were not carrying wealth but were stolen into a large number of Spanish naval soldiers, which was good news, as it meant that he could increase his reputation as a pirate by killing a large number of them, and that he would also be rewarded with keys after killing the navy.

After all, for the contractor, the gold and silver treasures in the mission world are of no use at all, and they cannot be exchanged for universal points or the like.

However, before he officially participated in the battle, he had to capture a real battleship, after all, the monorail he was riding on at this time, no matter what kind of enemy it was, could be solved with a single shell.

Then, after careful observation, under his command, the monorail sailed into the battlefield as if it were nimbly flying fish.

It didn't take long for the monorail to quickly approach a Tier VI warship belonging to the pirate side on the outskirts of the battlefield.

Despite being a pirate force, Nightblad's monorail quickly approached the Tier VI pirate ship.

The pirate ship didn't even give a warning, and it didn't hesitate to fire its cannon at the monorail.

Watch as several black shadows the size of bowls fall on the sea a few meters away from the monorail from far and near, blowing up waves of waves.

Ye Feng couldn't do anything about it, after all, his shooting skills were not high enough to intercept high-speed shells with crossbow arrows.

Therefore, he could only pray that the artillery would not hit the monorail, after all, although the artillery hit the sailboat, then he would not be too damaged, but the more than 20 pirates he saved and the monorail that he had so hard to obtain would definitely not be saved.

And this undoubtedly means that the effort he has spent a lot of time and effort is in vain in an instant.

Fortunately, the hit rate of artillery at this time is indeed a problem, and it is precisely because of this that if the warships of this era want to increase the hit rate, in addition to increasing the number of guns, they can only increase the hit rate by firing all guns in one direction at the same time.

Fortunately, the size of the sailboat that Ye Feng was riding at this time was too small, almost the size of a lifeboat, so it also increased the difficulty of hitting in disguise, and compared with the Spanish Navy, the number of guns on the pirate ship was also relatively small, so his monorail sailboat was lucky not to be hit in the pirate's first salvo.

However, such luck is not guaranteed to last.

Fortunately, the artillery of this era, because every time the cannon is fired, the muzzle needs to be cleaned again, and at the same time filled with new gunpowder, so the firing frequency of the artillery, even if it is a regular naval professional, is the fastest is to shoot once a minute.

Compared to the regular navy, the pirates are much more amateurish, so it takes them 2 minutes to fire their guns at the fastest.

However, even so, if Nightfeng wanted to get close to the pirate ship for a broadside battle, it would take nearly ten minutes at the earliest, which meant that even if the pirates fired a cannon every two or three minutes, he would have to withstand several rounds of artillery volleys.

Although the monorail that fired his first salvo was lucky enough to dodge, there was no guarantee that he would be so lucky the next few times.
