The new White Tulip has set sail.

With her, there are four sister ships of the same level, this is the Van der Kamp Chamber of Commerce recently ordered five four-masted Galen military ships, for convenience, Lao Wang, the rough embryo is very uneducated, use the way to change the color to name them respectively, in short, it is the color of red, yellow, blue and purple plus the suffix of tulips, colorful and lively, quite a bit of the meaning of the five golden flowers of the old Wang's family, Mary is annoyed and anxious, and she can't stop having a headache.

Accompanying the Five Flowers was another four-masted warship, which was not much different from the old king's flowers, but was a little different in painting and transformation - this was naturally Hines's ship.

The Invincible Uncle team finalized their intention to cooperate with Hines after the team meeting, and in Takenaka's words, "As long as a reasonable contract is signed in the space, it is not too comfortable to cooperate with someone like Hines." ”

Lao Wang also thinks so.

When he went to find Hines again the next day, the other party had already prepared a space contract with complete regulations, and Hines took his whole team to wait for Lao Wang, full of sincerity, and seemed to have expected that Lao Wang would definitely agree to cooperate, of course, he expected it very accurately, and Lao Wang's side was also fully attended.

The two sides signed a contract, and the cooperation between the two teams was formalized, and after sharing the collected information, Takenaka and Hines jointly finalized seven world exploration missions to improve their strength, which are all types of tasks with clear rewards, simple content, and need to be pushed directly by hard bridges and hard horses.

As mentioned before, it is now a time rush, and the water mill used to deal with Remy is naturally not adaptable, so he can only use simple and violent means to just face it, at this point, the views of the two teams of wise men are surprisingly consistent, if Hines does not propose cooperation, in Takenaka's original plan, he also spent money to borrow troops from Bergstone, using the blunt violence he dislikes the most to solve these tasks.

In addition, in addition to the strength of the selectors, there is also the part that can give full play to the advantages of the "great powers" - strong ships and guns produced in Europe and excellent seamen.

In this regard, both sides have their own advantages, Hines is a privateer, and the fighting quality of the sailors on the ship is better than that of Lao Wang's side, but Brother Wang also has his own advantages, that is, he has money.

When the old Wang's five-flower fleet appeared at sea, the four-masted Galen warship New Skua that Hines had worked hard to change his guns was compared with one of them, and the spacing of the ship was deliberately controlled a little far, as if it was a little impossible to take the surface.

Shyness is shyness, the mission must be carried on, and the first joint mission chosen by the two teams for the purpose of running in is to exterminate the privateer fleet.

It stands to reason that it is not easy for Lao Wang to receive this type of combat mission, but Hines has no problem as a privateer, and the two shared, six four-masted Galen warships set off towards the mission site in this way.

...

"Boom, boom!" Countless cannon pellets burst out with a huge roar, stirring up a column of water around the three sailing ships.

Some of the cannon pellets smashed into the hull of the ship, and when they landed, sawdust flew everywhere, and among them, there were also the stumps and internal organs of the unfortunate sailors, which showed the tragedy of the naval battle.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on? What the hell are these guys coming from? Don't they know who we are?" shouted a middle-aged man in a triangular captain's hat on one of the three ships that had been attacked.

Privateer Admiral Glenn is unlucky today, having been a privateer under the famous pirate duke Francis Drake.

Born from the real-world pirate of the same name, Francis Drake, the privateer was originally a pirate lord knighted by the Queen of England, but in the Age of Sail, he was transformed into a space-driven powerhouse.

After years of looting the Spanish treasure fleet in the Atlantic and Caribbean Seas, he amassed a great fortune, and then he performed well in the naval battles with the Invincible Armada, becoming a legendary admiral, and became a pirate duke with dozens of warships and nearly 8,000 sailors.

The master trembled, and the old brother who bled together before and after the saddle naturally couldn't be treated badly, so Glenn turned into a phoenix and became a royal privateer with three four-masted warships on his own, although he could not follow the pirate duke to the Caribbean to participate in the ongoing war with the Spaniards, but in the North Sea, he seemed to be a figure that all forces did not dare to offend easily.

As for his frequent privateering behavior against merchant ships of various countries, as long as it is not too out of line, everyone will choose to turn a blind eye, and his reward is never a dead letter.

In other words, the royal privateer, Lord Glenn, was there, and there were disgruntled people who offered him a bounty on his head, but no one wanted to be an enemy of him, and Drake had always had a habit of protecting his shortcomings, so the clown was living freely in the North Sea.

But today, a few stunned young men came to the door, they didn't seem to understand the rules of the North Sea at all, and after approaching Glenn's fleet, they didn't show mercy.

The six menacing warships entered the combat position as fast as they could, and before Glenn could react, they took the lead in the T-shaped firing position, and without even saying hello, they shelled the three large four-masted warships in the North Sea under the command of Admiral Glenn.

It wasn't until the ship's cannon was damaged that the pirate-turned-royal privateer reacted, and these fellows were on the line for their own lives, and immediately grabbed their first mate by the collar, roaring and asking, and spewed sticky spit on the poor man's face.

The first mate wiped his face, opened his eyes and said to the captain and admiral, "Ge... Admiral Glenn, I have already observed, that the ship was coming by two groups of men, one under the flag of the Netherlands and the other under the Portuguese flag, and as to why they came to us, I do not know why. ”

"Damn, aren't these guys brain-burned out after splitting out of Spain, don't you know that we are allies now?" asked Glenn Mali as he squatted down, pulling his first mate down as well.

The first mate was pulled and stumbled, sat down and squatted carelessly, quickly got up and squatted, pressed his hat and replied to Glenn: "Lord Admiral, now is not the time to say it, we should fight back and let these guys know how powerful we are." ”

Glenn deserved to have grown up at sea with Duke Drake, and the bombardment and the words of the first mate awakened the pirate ferocity in his bones, and the admiral, who had tried his best to pretend to be a gentleman in recent years, was immediately revealed.

He took advantage of the interval between the shelling to get up, skimmed off the luxurious armor on his body, grabbed his three-cornered hat and threw it aside, shook off a tattered and dirty red cloth with his right hand and wrapped it around his head three or two times, and when he was done, he stretched out his foot and hooked up a loaded flintstone rifle from the ground, aimed it at the deck of the enemy ship that was still nervously reloading ammunition about 150 yards away, and then pulled the trigger after aiming at it at random.

The sound of gunfire was drowned out in the noisy noise on the deck, but on the White Tulip, Lao Wang's ship, a busy gun position sailor's figure suddenly stopped, and then, his sideburns spurted a fountain of blood, and the whole person was drained of his strength, and fell on the deck with a thud, and the people around him were stunned.

Glenn's first mate had already seen this scene on the opposite ship through the telescope, and he excitedly raised his right arm and shouted, "Fox Hunter!"

The deck sailors, who had just been stunned by a round of shelling, were awakened by this shout, and they jumped up as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and shouted loudly: "Fox hunter!"

The gloom and panic caused by the bombardment were swept away, and they ran to their posts in high morale and began to meet the invading enemy.

Glenn touched his turban and smiled unruly, and at his feet, the boat began to turn sideways, looking for an angle to shoot, and the name of the ship was inscribed on the left side of the hull, with the words "Fox Hunter" written on it.

It turned out that Glenn was a famous marksman under Drake, and because of his superb marksmanship, Drake praised him for being able to shoot even a fast-running fox with one shot, so he got the title of "fox hunter".

Glenn was proud of it, and his flagship ship, which was named after his nickname, was the Fox Hunter, and he had just shot the enemy to recover his crew from the aftershocks of the assault and fight the enemy with high morale.

"At home, are there any interactive characters who can have the same range as you?" Seeing this, Lao Wang couldn't help but say to the shooters in his team.

His title to Mary has been changed, although this is the way of shouting in the old Wang's native voice, which sounds extremely incompatible with the temperament of a beautiful reporter with a foreign style, but Mary is still very happy to accept it.

"Don't underestimate the setting of this random space, don't forget, it's such an environment, and a lot of selectors have been killed!" The beautiful reporter replied in the team channel: "Let me snatch the morale back!"

Mary was the commander of the gun, and her post was demoralized by others, so she naturally refused to give up, she encouraged her sailors to say a few words, and immediately knelt on the deck, flattened her Garand rifle, and took a closer look in the direction where the bullet had just come.

As the 'Duchess of the Highlands', she can't let the other party use a long range to suppress the momentum of her crew, after all, how can the old musket with a range of barely more than 200 meters in the opponent's hand be the opponent of her M1.

The beautiful reporter put her cheeks on the butt of the walnut gun, and in a few breaths she had already swept the situation on the opposite deck, obviously, the shooter on the opposite side was indeed an expert, and in order to achieve the best shooting effect, he should have removed all the conspicuous signs on his body that could attract attention, and mixed in the sailors' pile, and the senior seamen on the opposite ship were also quite unseen, and there was no sign of appearing at all.

You know, in this era, the men of the sea still attach great importance to honor, and it is still quite difficult for them to get rid of the clothes that represent their honor in order to avoid the roll call of bullets, and it is obvious that this privateer fleet started by pirates does not have such awareness, which makes it even more difficult for them to deal with.

Mary thought for a moment, the muzzle of the gun rose slightly, locked the watchtower opposite, and moved her index finger lightly, and after Garand's special sound, all the crew of the White Tulip saw that on the enemy ship opposite, a small black dot was knocked out of the lookout post, like a bird with folded wings, and smashed heavily on the deck, which could be seen clearly without a telescope.

The sailors on the White Tulip were silent for a few seconds, and then burst into earth-shattering cheers, Mary's shot was much more effective than the shot of Glenn on the other side, and the suppressed morale was lifted up again by Mary's shot.

"Damn, is there a marksman on the other side?!" Glenn angrily threw the musket in his hand and shouted, "Squire, damn it! Go and get that rifled gun that Drake gave me, rudder! Pull the distance a little farther, and remember to me, we are equipped with the new guns of England, and we have the advantage in range, and when the distance reaches 250 to 320 yards, you will give me a hard beating!" Also, the two remaining hunters will follow the same route as us, and the enemy's ships are outnumbered by us, and they can't be easily taken overboard, so we will slowly consume them with distance. ”

The captain is the soul of a ship, the admiral is the soul of the fleet, and Glenn has fully entered the combat state, so his subordinates will naturally no longer be stunned.

Under his order, the two sailors quickly ran to the left and right sides of the ship, raised the small flag and waved, the distance between the three warships was very close, and they could clearly issue flag commands without going up to the watchtower, and the two warships received the information and immediately understood the admiral's combat intentions, repaired the rudder and moved, and began to evade the enemy's shelling in the same way as the flagship.

The assault fleet on Lao Wang's side completed the first reloading at this time, and began to start the second round of shooting at their respective target ships, but the enemy had begun to evade, and the position and angle were not as good as the first shot.

Glenn is still mixed with the deck sailors, his combat style is to wander, waiting for the opportunity to decapitate the opponent's senior seamen, now the opponent's two rounds of artillery bombardment have passed, his three warships are also completely scattered, each with two ships on the opposite side, looking for a gap to fight back, England's new burst of artillery did not disappoint him, taking advantage of the long distance, for a time with one enemy two, not falling behind at all.

"Good guy, the other side can still stabilize its position in this state, it's not easy, this kind of task is really difficult. Lao Wang saw that the other party quickly dragged the battle into a stalemate, and his heart was also slightly moved, and he immediately ordered: "Four ships on our side, find a way to seize the wind and close the distance, the enemy is also a four-masted ship, there is no reason for the sail speed to be faster than that of the Dutch sailors, and the flag is given to Hines, now we should take our ship to fight well, don't you show your hand?"

Hines took the new Skua to cooperate with the Red Tulip in Lao Wang's fleet to pursue the Wolf Hunter in the Glenn fleet, and when he saw the flag from his partner, he smiled slightly: "Mr. Wang is really good at commanding people, but since we are in a state of cooperation now, we can't let people flatten, Mr. Pierre, melting point tactics." ”

The old black man on the deck nodded silently when he heard this, and with a nimble hand that was not appropriate for his age, he slammed his hands together, and then slowly parted, his forehead was slightly sweaty, and his mouth was full of words, as if he was preparing some skill.

Then, before all the gun emplacements on the starboard side of the Skugull, the air began to distort, and the sailors at the gun positions seemed to know that something was going to happen, and their expressions were calm, but they were still sweating profusely by the pressure of the heat, and even the skin of their mouths began to show signs of chapping.

Hines looked at the enemy ships up and down 200 yards away, and softly spat out two words: "Fire." ”
