"Port shot! Avoid!"
Boom, boom!
The water waterfall filled the sky, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air. Dozens of armed merchant ships gathered in the narrow sea area. The roar of artillery kept on for a moment, and the broken ship plates drifted away everywhere.
There were sailors wailing everywhere. The bloody smell attracted the sharks. They were shocked by the roaring artillery. They toured and cruised, looking forward to the feast that might be in the near future.
Velen launched a raid on Lonza!
Under Lorraine's operation, the Desai chamber of Commerce kept receiving intelligence throughout December.
The first piece of information comes from acharin, the rebel of the Desai family and the lifelong enemy of Veron.
This information was sent to Veron on the third day of acharin's secret meeting with Amman. It was soon put in the cold palace and lay in the safe for two days.
Viren instinctively scoffed at everything acharin said.
But the key to this matter is that apart from skillfully concealing the newly signed seafarer employment contract with Drake chamber of Commerce, everything acharin said is true.
Some people in the chamber of commerce still remember his conscientious past. Every word and sentence he said can stand scrutiny. Even the annulled self redemption contract is not a deep secret in the maritime business circle.
When the news released by the English spread, acharin's intelligence was soon valued by the Desai chamber of Commerce.
The chamber of Commerce crossed Veron and began to verify the authenticity of the information. It is not difficult to achieve this goal.
Desai chamber of commerce is a large chamber of commerce with tentacles all over European countries. There is a special Hong Kong based exchange in Elgin black port, which started in Lorraine.
Acharin's words were confirmed one by one, and the news spread by the English became reverse evidence, outlining a complete schematic diagram of naval warfare on the chart.
The drawing was personally sent to villen by the president.
The English are organizing a decisive battle. Lorraine is in front with half of the gunships and Lonza is in the back with the other half of the fleet. They disintegrated the alliance of the three countries in advance, and Desai had only one ally left, that is, the Kalmar chamber of Commerce, which is also France.
Profit, efficiency, battle difficulty, booty and deterrent effect
After a long talk with Veron, the president easily decided to give up acharin, who made great contributions to the family, and instead decided to attack the main force of Lonza with a large amount of wealth.
To this end, Desai chamber of Commerce has made every effort.
In addition to the long lost Third Fleet, the elite of the first, second and fourth fleets under the chamber of Commerce and the first and second fleets of Kalma are all assembled.
Villen gathered three more French pirates who came to the door and tried to take a share, so that the scale of his fleet reached a huge Galen destroyer and 17 brigantine high-speed ships.
This number is not weaker than that in the period of the joint fleet of the three countries, and it is even smoother in command.
His fleet waited quietly in the open sea of larocheli port until the caribou's high lookout saw the sail shadow of Lonza's main fleet, which swooped down from the upper tuyere like a tiger down the mountain and directly crashed into the loose formation of the English.
He has similar ideas with Lorraine in the use of brigantine. The principles he adheres to are two points, division and hand to hand combat.
The naval battle has tended to climax since the beginning of the engagement.
With ten brigantines as the forerunner and seven brigantines as the periphery, villen tore Lonza's fleet into three parts and fought against each other.
The core of the battlefield is the red Sudan and the reindeer. The two large ships shelled each other along the sea wave, and Lonza was oppressed.
On the northeast and southwest sides, the French lined up in a battle line, obliquely inserted between brigantine and scunay in England, fighting on both sides, according to their respective advantages.
There are also seven brigantines cruising outside the battlefield, forming clusters, like sharks, encircling single or injured British ships.
In just two hours, one brigantine and one scuna in England were sunk by fire, and another brigantine was blown off its main mast and floated helplessly on the sea, waiting for the final fate of being captured.
Standing on the deck of the reindeer, villen was satisfied.
This will be a highlight of his maritime career, commanding the French fleet and destroying the main force of England's offshore business circle.
After this war, the Cantabrian route will become the property of French businessmen, and his two enemies, Lorraine and acharin, will lose everything.
At that time, Luolin, who is pointed out by thousands of people, must thoroughly investigate the reasons for the failure of the campaign. As long as he releases a little news, acharin will die without a place to bury
Those who hurt his fame will lose their fame, and those who destroy his life will cut off his life. This is a... Perfect ending.
Villen couldn't help laughing. The radian of the corner of his mouth could be pulled up, and the watchman on his head suddenly made a panic cry.
"Enemy's trail!" the lookout shouted, "twelve o'clock, twelve kilometers away, eight knots! There are seven brigantines coming, and the flagship is flying the pansy flag! God, it's the Drake chamber of Commerce, the butterfly flower!"
"It's impossible!" villen blurted out, climbed up the main mast in panic amid the gunfire, and grabbed the single mirror in the watchman's hand.
He soon found the enemy.
The seven brigantines, headed by a brightly colored pansy flag, are equipped with a nondescript fishing fork gun in the bow, which is the unique flagship symbol of Lorraine.
But Lorraine should stay in the southwest of the battlefield and sail slowly towards Spain.
Twenty five kilometers away, brigantin's observatory should not find the situation here
But in just over two hours, he went around the upper air outlet and gave up the burden of accompanying him
Villen's brain turned rapidly and figured out the joints in it.
This means that... Before the battle here started, Lorraine may have responded by launching a surprise attack on the English main fleet.
But how is it possible!
Can we say that the so-called main fleet is the real bait?
Villen looked at the clumsy red haired Sultan a hundred meters away.
Karak type is an antique and a failed design that has long been abandoned by various countries.
The towering forecastle made her center of gravity unstable. She behaved like a staggering old woman, slow and clumsy, whether sailing or turning.
Therefore, the red Sudan had no counterattack in front of the reindeer, and the single ship artillery battle 100 meters away had long been suppressed on one side.
She is struggling to live.
The back mast was broken, the sailors cut off the sail rope, the forecastle was blown to pieces, and the smoke after the fire is still floating today.
There are two big holes in her hull. One is on the gun deck, causing the No. 2 and No. 3 gun doors to misfire. The other is up the waterline, and sailors can be vaguely seen sealing holes and bailing water inside.
Villen could clearly feel the fear of the English destroyer.
They have no awareness and preparation as bait, even the whole main fleet... The bad, helpless and panic performance of these dozens of large ships scattered on the vast sea is not like a group of dead men who know they will become bait and have long ignored life and death.
These people are not willing to become bait at all. Maybe everyone, including him, is in Lorraine's calculation
A sudden insight came out of villen's heart, and he couldn't help praising Lorraine's actuarial work.
"You set up a subtle trap, which not only caught me, but also your allies... Everyone is fighting. If you kill it at this time, you can really make up for the lack of strength of the English to the greatest extent."
"I take back what I said. Although you are a barbarian, you are a wise barbarian."
"But you probably didn't expect that the fleet I brought this time would be so strong... Your bait is not enough to entangle me. Just seven brigantines can't change the fate of the English buried at the bottom of the sea..."
He came down from the lookout with a sneer, straightened his captain's windbreaker and ordered: "order!"
"Yes!"
"Let the general kalmatidok plunder the sub fleet to meet the enemy. The reindeer strengthens its fire. As long as the old woman opposite surrenders, Drake will soon escape in despair. We have plenty of time to pack up the spoils."
"Yes!"
