Chapter 1017: St. Philip
Just as it hit the middle of the second rowing boat, the hull was crushed under the surface of the sea, and the square sail was ignited! The third rowing boat had turned around and tried to escape, but it was still hit by the 'ship of the dead' and burned the position of the stern helmsman.
Having knocked over three ancient Greek paddle boats, the 'Boat of the Dead' swaggered as the Death Elves shot arrows back at the swarming Ring Bearers. The Ring Bearers of the Spanish camp didn't dare to bite too hard, because the arrows of the Death Elves were too strong. Moreover, on the other side's Arabian dnaker, six giant spur-like missiles flew over, and one of the small planes was hit by a missile and flew back in smoke......
"Their large-scale naval battle props are amazing!" Oslo said, putting down the binoculars.
"It's a pity that no matter how well equipped they are, they can't reverse the fate of the British......'s defeat," Eisen's dull metal voice carried the pride of victory.
Oslo nodded and smiled: "After our layout, Spain will be able to attack the British mainland at least half a year in advance." The British may not have time to assemble the ships to fight the Spanish Armada! ”
The Spanish fleet pursued Drake's fleet, but Drake's fleet did not escape. Rather, because the sea area just now was too close to the port, Drake was worried that he would be hit by the Spaniards' port shore defense guns. When the fleet broke away from the open sea, Drake's fleet had already begun to make a big arc and detour, attacking the Spanish fleet from both flanks in two directions!
Because of the return to history, although Akon and Eisen are wise men, neither has the right to command the fleet. The naval battle was fought entirely under the command of the British and Spanish fleet commanders! Undoubtedly, Drake's naval command ability is the highest in this scenario. Moreover, the British sailors under his command were much more capable of controlling ships than the Spanish sailors!
Moreover, the British ships surpassed their opponents in speed and agility, and the range of their guns was much longer. In such a situation where the number of ships on both sides was about the same, although the tonnage of the Spanish fleet was 30% higher than that of the British fleet, the number of sailors on board was twice as high as that of the British ships, and the number of guns was half as high. But they couldn't even touch the rough edges of the British ships!
"It's a shrunken version of the 'Anglo-Spanish Sea Battle'!" Akon sighed as he watched the British ships commanded by Drake gain the upper hand. The three warships under his command also joined the battle on the front line.
Due to the demarcation of the safe combat area of the scene, the Ring Bearers on both sides are included in the combat area, and both are in the most intense fighting area near the flagship. Because Greenwing's 'Boat of the Dead' destroyed three of Eisen's team's paddle boats as soon as the battle began, this battle became the focus of the opposing Ringholder's attack!
A Turkish warship and two Spanish warships bombarded the 'ship of the dead', although they were both spiritual weapons, but they also made the 'ship of the dead' tired to deal with! But the other party is not comfortable either. 100 death elves are 100 powerful machine gunners, a salvo is a rain of arrows, and those three warships are shot like hedgehogs in a short time!
These prunes are not just done when they are plugged in, they actually begin to take root and sprout, absorbing the spiritual power of these supernatural warships. There are also pruning with flames, and when they are shot, there is a sea of fire. The sails of the three warships were burned in an instant! However, the attack of the opposing ring bearer on the death elves also caused the 'ship of the dead' to suffer heavy losses, and at least more than 30 death elves turned into a pile of wood chips under the combined attack of the opposing ring holder's sea and air, and were absorbed by the 'ship of the dead', waiting to be resurrected.
The strength of the Eisen team does not stop there, what entangles the flame warship of the Riyadh team is a modern high-speed patrol boat! Although the attack power is not very strong because of the spiritual power, the victory is too fast. If it weren't for the bone spur rockets of the Riyadh team's warship, it would be really difficult to deal with the bombardment of chasing that patrol boat and making the opponent tired.
What's even more powerful is that the Eisen team actually dispatched a small green gunboat prop from World War II! This is the benefit of a large team, such a large physical gunboat, only with a large number of people and a large space can it be installed! Because the attack and defense power of the physical large props far exceed the summoning props, it is even more powerful in such a sea battle!
Although these naval battle items are a little worse than the 'Ship of the Dead' and the 'Dragon God', it seems that there are quite a few of them. Including those three oarboats, there are already as many as eight! That's a fleet! It is not known if they have more elite naval battle props, and with Eisen's cautious character, it is inevitable to hide their strength. And although the three ships of Zhang Fan and the Riyadh team are more sophisticated, they will definitely not be able to fight against a fleet.
But even though Eisen's team joined the attack in a high-profile manner, under the desperate battle of the two warships of Green Wing and Riyadh, they still did not let the Spanish fleet gain the upper hand! This naval battle was fought for a day and two nights!
Early in the morning of the third day, a fleet appeared on the sea level, and Akon's heart sank, because he found that he had not contacted Zhang Fan. Then this fleet should be reinforcements for Eisen's team!
Sure enough, the flag of the Spanish crown fluttered on the mainmast of the largest carac sailing ship in the fleet. The addition of this new force has completely upset the balance. The Drake fleet, which originally had a slight upper hand, was immediately suppressed! Two ships were taken over by Spanish ships. In an instant, the outnumbered Spanish sailors captured the two British ships!
Another was approached by the Spanish Karak warship, which was fatally bombarded by heavy cannon gunfire. finally broke through desperately with the heroic English sailors, but they also lost their combat effectiveness and withdrew from the battlefield!
Eisen commanded his team's ships to shake off the entanglement of the 'ship of the dead' and the Arabian flame warship, and tried his best to entangle Drake's fleet, so that the Spanish warships would have a chance to get close to these British galleons and bombard the close, but powerful heavy cannons, to deal a fatal blow to Drake's fleet!
Drake felt that his fleet was in danger of being wiped out, so he began to retreat north! Eisen's eight ships were faster than the Spaniards, caught in the Drake fleet, entangled like eight loaches, and did not give the English ships a chance to escape with all their might. In this way, the two sides fought farther and farther away, gradually moving away from Cape St. Vincent......
Just as Drake and Akon were anxious, and Eisen was overjoyed, a puff of smoke rose from St. Vincent's Corner! There were also several muffled explosions. Although it was so far away, the smoke made Eisen's heart sink. Akon's heart fluttered.
"Zhang Fan, this kid has finally grown...... Akon muttered.
"We're back just in time!" Zhang Fan's voice sounded in the team communication, "Sir Walsingham has persuaded the Queen of England to send a royal fleet to support!" Hold on a little longer, and they'll be there! ”
Eisen slammed his fist on the side of the ship, "Hurry back and see how much damage we can recover!" ”
Oslo comforted on the side: "Don't worry, Eisen, with the infiltration of one or two vow-bearers, you won't be able to destroy much material." We should have time to go back now......"
"I hope so!" Eisen calmed down and returned to his calm and wise state.
The Spanish fleet also found that something big seemed to be happening in the harbor, where a large amount of the fleet's supplies were concentrated, and there was no room for error. Therefore, they began to get rid of the British warships and returned one after another.
But at this very moment, another flotilla appeared on the northern sea level. This time, the flag of England fluttered in the sea breeze! This is the Queen's direct royal fleet!
The battle lasted another day, and both sides were exhausted, but the Spaniards eventually held Cape St. Vincent. The British, after discovering that two more Spanish fleets had arrived to support, had no choice but to retreat......
History, under the planning of both sides, finally returned to its original place. The Eisen team had a slight advantage this time. Because they kept most of the Spanish fleet replied. And also let the Spanish fleet assemble in advance. Lilith was a pyromancer who detonated the gunpowder stored by the Spaniards and burned a large amount of wood, causing Spain to suffer heavy losses. Speaking of which, this time she made a great contribution, at least to make the date of the Spaniards' attack, because of these losses, be delayed for more than two months!
The Royal Fleet left Drake with a few ships and brought the wounded ships home. The Drake fleet moved to the Assyrian Islands and continued to harass Spain's ties to the Caribbean and New World colonies. to delay the build-up of the Spanish fleet and the attack on the English mainland. Zhang Fan's team also continued to follow......
Ten days after leaving Cape St. Vincent, Akon was alerted by the bookdemon that the fleet would encounter a Spanish galleon 'St. Philip' laden with goods, worth 114,000 gold pounds! On top of that, there were secret documents of Spanish trade in the East Indies on board. These documents were intercepted by Drake and brought back to England, prompting merchants in London to later form the East India Company, which formed the foundation of the British Empire in India.
Akon's heart immediately came to him, and he immediately patrolled the sky around the fleet with Regulus every day, trying to rob the 'St. Philip' before Drake!
The Riyadh team has an Arabian flying carpet that can carry three people, and it is also under Aken's arrangement, patrolling in the other direction. Three days later, the hard work paid off. Regulus found a galleon on the flank of the fleet! But now it is still far from the fleet, about 100 nautical miles!
If it had been changed before, everyone would have rushed over to rob it a long time ago! But now, these more than 100 nautical miles are like a moat in front of everyone's eyes! As long as you break through the security barrier in front of you, there will be groups of monsters waiting outside! It doesn't take you five minutes to get out and you could be buried in the Atlantic!
