Chapter 1548
boom! boom!
Explosions, flames, billowing smoke, broken ships, masts out of the sea, sailors struggling to survive on the sea with planks or barrels, countless floating corpses, blood-stained sea, carnival sharks As well as the sailing ships that are still fighting and fighting, roaring fire, and spitting shells or bullets at the enemy, they have become the most important forces on the Tyrrhenian Sea between Sardinia and Sicily. theme song.
The battle lasted one afternoon and one night, and it was already the morning of the second day. The sea was so foggy that the shadow of the ship could not be seen fifty yards away, but even so, the chaotic sea battle was still going on. Continuing, the battle is still going on.
Because both warring parties know that, at most one or two hours, when the sun rises and becomes bright and hot, the thick fog on the sea will definitely clear up by itself, and at that time, the unfinished war of yesterday and last night will still continue , and until the two sides decide the winner.
So far, the main force of the Spanish Armada led by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armada and Admiral of the Navy of the Kingdom of Spain Pedro de Barudis, and the Italian Paolo Chentelio have participated in this sea battle so far. Armed merchant ships and navy led by the brigade, the Ottoman navy led by the commander-in-chief of the Ottoman Empire Hedem Aphmedo Pasha, and the pirate king of the Mediterranean Sea led by Barbarossa Fasl Hayreddin Pirate Swarm!
Basically, almost all the powerful marine armed forces in the entire Mediterranean Sea who are expected to dominate the Mediterranean Sea have all participated. Therefore, this fight lasted for as long as one afternoon and one night, and the fight has not yet ended. Win or lose.
but……
Fighting and fighting, it is estimated that less than half of the thousands of ships in the fleets of the two parties are still intact. The command of both sides is also in chaos, and the ships of all parties are scattered all over the surface of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The flames of war and thunderous cannons have already spread to various places in this sea area.
The fog is still hanging in the air...
Except for those ships that had already discovered that each other had started an artillery battle or simply jumped into a bloody battle, the other ships were still silently shuttling through the thick fog, completely ignoring the gun barrels, masts and sails condensed Big drops of dew, just widening their eyes, looking at the front and surroundings of the battleship, searching for any possible enemies.
Soon, the main force of more than a dozen ships led by the commander-in-chief of the Armada and the admiral of the Spanish Navy, Pedro de Barudis, suddenly found a mast damaged Broken, the top of the deck is dilapidated, and it seems that it has just been withdrawn from the battlefield. At this time, it is slowly moving towards the south with the oars and armed with the giant Arabian sail.
"Order!"
"In line of battle,
Run past them! "
"Sink it!!"
Seeing this, he had just experienced a big battle last night, and his heart was full of fire. Commander-in-Chief Barudis, who came here early in the morning to cruise and look for the enemy, made a decisive decision, and gritted his teeth to deliver the cruel Order.
"!!"
"It's Spaniards!"
"Ready for battle!!!"
'quick! ! '
"Row quickly!!"
"God..."
In the distance, the Ottoman sailors on the huge Arabian oar and arming the ship apparently also spotted the Spanish warships rushing out of the thick fog that quietly appeared behind them, so they frightened them on the spot. At the same time, the gunners and sailors on the deck also launched cannons or held muskets and came to the edge of the ship to prepare for resistance.
At the same time, the rows of paddles that were still paddling slowly, looking weak, as if they hadn't eaten breakfast, suddenly became powerful and firm, and started to paddle quickly on the sea?
However, it is a pity that their giant Arabian sail and armed ship is too big, and the mast was broken in the battle last night, and it has not been repaired yet, so their paddlers Even with all the effort, how can we get rid of the opponents of the main Spanish fleet who came with the wind and were only found within 50 yards?
boom! boom!
Snapped! Snapped!
boom! boom! boom!
Soon, the Spaniards' first- and second-tier battleships caught up with the single giant Arabian galleon and armed the ship. Then, countless shells from both sides and the volleys of the sailors on the deck faced each other and fired at each other. It slammed up.
And there is only one, which is broken and exhausted after the war, and it has just been withdrawn from the battlefield for a long time. How can it belong to this group of Spanish main fleets that still have organization and command? opponent?
So, after the third Spanish warship passed by, the huge Arabian galleon and armed ship was baptized by hundreds of shells, and finally broke into two pieces with a loud bang. , and then slowly moaned and sank to the bottom of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
"..."
"Leave them alone!"
"Go ahead and search for possible enemies!!"
Looking at the surviving sailors who watched the giant Arabian galleon and jumped into the sea with an armed boat, the commander-in-chief of the Armada and Admiral of the Spanish Navy, Pedro de Barudis, did not order to capture it, let alone ordered the sailors to capture it. Instead of wasting ammunition and shooting, they let the fleet go on, ignoring the life and death of the heathen sailors who jumped into the sea to fight the rolling waves.
If it was normal, he would definitely order to capture or kill him directly!
But, not now, because the war is still going on, and the sound of rumbling guns is still ringing everywhere, so they must save time and ammunition until they completely defeat the Ottoman navy and the pirates!
"besides!"
"Gather our ships that we encountered along the way and let them be incorporated into our queue!"
The battle has been going on for a day and a night, and the current thick fog is just an opportunity for both sides to breathe and adjust. It is foreseeable that after the thick fog clears, the battle will definitely become more intense. Therefore, as the commander-in-chief and Admiral of the Fleet, Barudis must change the chaotic and fragmented state of the Armada, organize as soon as possible, and then defeat those damned Arab heretics and those damned pirates!
"Alonso, now the fleet is under your command!"
"After the thick fog clears, send someone to the captain's room to call me!"
Standing at the bow of the ship for a while, he found that the thick fog seriously affected the sight of both sides. Barudis, who felt that a large-scale naval battle was unlikely to break out in a short time, gave an order to an officer beside him, and then went straight to his Go to the captain's cabin.
Obviously, after three days and three nights of chasing, and another day and night of fighting, he also felt tired, and he had to hurry up to rest and recover. There is a greater chance of winning.
"Obey!"
The Spanish naval officer didn't say anything, but just responded loudly, even if he took over the command of Barudis.
boom! boom!
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
The sounds of cannons, gunshots, and shouts of fighting and killing still resounded in all directions in this sea area.
At this time, when Barudis's main fleet was moving slowly like a ghost in the dense fog, and was carefully searching for the enemy or friendly forces, far away on the sea north of the island of Corsica in the north, a terrible The little girl with a heart, the admiral, is also leading the five giant ships of her Li family fleet, groping forward carefully on the sea surface filled with thick fog at an extremely slow speed.
Unlike the exhausted sailors on both sides of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the south who had to grit their teeth and fight, at this time, the artillery and sailors of the Li family on the five giant battleships were very comfortable. They were in twos and threes in the cabin or Resting in the corner of the deck, only a small number of sailors and helmsmen are on duty.
At this time, their ships were moving very slowly, and their sails were lowered by more than half to maintain a safe low speed.
They had to do this, because there is heavy fog on the sea now, and it may take more than an hour or even longer before the fog disperses, and they are not familiar with the sea area here, if they drive too fast In other words, based on the draft of these five giant ships, if they accidentally hit the reef or rushed into the shallows, they might really be doomed.
You know, this is still the territory of the Spaniards, and they will never believe that the Spaniards will be kind enough to give them time and opportunity to slowly repair or tow away the ships that have run aground or stranded.
Therefore, proceeding slowly and cautiously, giving priority to protecting themselves, and then speeding up and waiting for an opportunity to attack the coastal harbors of the Spaniards after dawn is their best choice at present.
"Ah~!"
"I'm so sleepy..."
At the bow, two sailors sitting on the side of the boat were yawning and muttering.
They were sent to guard and look out at the bow of the ship, because now the gondola on the top of the mast has completely lost its function, and people on it are like falling clouds, and they can't even see the bottom of the deck, let alone Look around now.
However, sending them at the bow of the ship is basically useless, because the fog on the sea in the early morning is so thick that the stern cannot be seen from a ship more than 100 meters away, so the role they can play is almost negligible.
"??"
"Why haven't you come to change shift?"
"It's early!"
"It's estimated that there is still an hour, so stop talking, be careful of punishment, and continue to be vigilant!"
"well……"
"There's no need to be vigilant here. The fog seems to be getting bigger, and no one can be seen thirty steps away. I think it's better for us to stop the boat and wait."
"This matter is out of our control, so stop talking and stay here."
"Too……"
Gradually, the voices of the two people at the bow became quieter again, and it was unclear whether they were seriously and responsibly on duty at this time, or just lazy and taking a nap.
"..."
(`)~zzZZ
At this time, in the captain's room, a certain little girl was lying on the bed sprawled and sound asleep.
There is no doubt that she is the Admiral Anne who obviously triggered the Mediterranean sea battle, but at this time she is out of the way and has no heart, and can sleep soundly than anyone else.
"..."
And next to her was the one who was wearing a narrow and convenient nightgown, with large patches of white snow on her arms, thighs, and belly. She had to hug her quilt subconsciously because she was kicked to the bottom of the bed by a wicked little girl. Song Yifeng of A Bear Sleeping.
After all, it is the end of autumn in the northern hemisphere at this time, and even here in the Mediterranean Sea, the weather is gradually getting colder. Therefore, Song Yifeng, who was kicked off the quilt by someone in his sleep, looks shivering and pitiful.
Of course, the most pitiful one is Tibbers a certain bear!
(…)
Because at this time, it is still restrained and suppressed by its cruel little master, and it can only constantly smell the obsessive smell of bear meat and the warm and tender fleshy touch of the little female human Song Yifeng, but it is completely I can't move, even if I really want to jump up and throw the delicious meat in front of me into my mouth to eat it, I can't do it, I can only be tortured and tormented.
"..."
(___*)zzZ
"..."
(￣﹃￣) Hey...
A certain sad little girl turned over, from lying on all fours to lying on the pillow, and at the same time, a trace of glittering and translucent strands began to flow from the corner of her mouth, and she didn't know what to dream about something.
However……
Suddenly, very abruptly, she opened her eyes abruptly, first paused hesitantly, and then those hazy and out-of-focus blue eyes gradually became clear and energetic.
"..."
(ー`ー)
"Really!"
(ˇεˇ)
Immediately afterwards, she frowned, as if after confirming it, she suddenly sat up from the bed and complained.
"!?"
At this time, Song Yifeng, who had been sleeping a little cold and light sleep because the quilt was kicked away, was awakened directly.
"Ann, Annie?"
"What's wrong……"
"Why did you get up so early today..."
Holding the little bear, she also sat up, first looked at the dim light outside the porthole, and then asked in disbelief.
Because, she knows, in the usual, eh, when it's okay, Annie won't be able to move if she doesn't sleep until the sky is bright and the sun is high!
"..."
()
"Get up and get dressed, we have guests arriving!"
(ψ`▽′)o
"Remember, keep your voice down!"
(-)
Tilting her head and thinking for a while, Annie didn't know what bad idea she came up with, she winked playfully at Song Yifeng, who was still a little confused, and then hurriedly tiptoed onto the board, put on her clothes and shoes .
"??"
"guest?"
"What guest?!"
Song Yifeng still didn't know what was going on, she just continued to sit on the bed, hugged her only bear to keep warm, and scratched her black hair that had been messed up by sleeping in confusion.
However, Annie didn't answer her question, but she tiptoed out after finishing tidying up soon.
In about ten minutes...
A two-masted galleon with a length of more than 60 meters, a height of more than 40 meters, and a width of more than ten meters, with a distinct Spanish warship style and equipped with a naval ram made of iron plates, slowly emerged from the fog. The middle of the sea silently chased after the flagship 'Xiang Feihu' of the Li family's fleet.
After it approached carefully under the cover of mist, a group of guys who looked like pirates in clothes, about a hundred in number, passed silently under the leadership of a leader with two knives on his back and a white hood. The cable climbed onto the deck of the 'Xiangfeihu'.
"Edward!"
"Why are the vigilance of these Easterners so low? There is no one on the deck?"
"Um!"
"Maybe it's because early in the morning is when people are the most tired and the most relaxed? They fought against the Spaniards for several days, and it's normal now."
"but……"
"There must be someone in the wheelhouse up there!"
"Come on, Adéwalé, they wouldn't have thought that we would come to seize the ship in this foggy weather, everyone guard the hatches, I'll deal with the helmsman first!"
"remember!"
"We only have one chance!"
"Be gentle, wait for me to drive the boat away, and then start to move!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
The pirates who ran to the flagship "Xiangfeihu" gathered together for ten seconds with their hooded leader and quietly dispersed in a tacit understanding.
Then, they began to perform their duties, preparing to walk to the hatches one by one without making a big noise as much as possible, and prepared to wait for an opportunity to quietly take the ship away.
soon!
When the pirate leader named Adéwalé led his men to guard the door of the captain's cabin, the two large exits that seemed to be the lower deck, and the hanging door of the cargo warehouse, he set his sights on the two men who were leading them. The cat walked up to the captain Edward at the door of the wheelhouse at the stern.
They had to wait until Edward took down the wheelhouse and killed the helmsman inside, then drove away the ship and moved a little further away from the queue of Easterners in front before they could do it and kill all the people on the ship, and then snatched the ship that even the Spanish The huge warship that everyone fears and covets!
"??"
However, after waiting for a long time, Adéwal didn't see their captain Edward touch into the wheelhouse, but just stood in front of the door in a daze after slowly opening it?
"Hello!"
"Edward?"
As a last resort, Adéwal could only yell again in a low voice.
"!!"
However, the sentence he shouted seemed to send out a certain signal?
Next second!
From the bow, stern and other hidden hatches on the side of the battleship, as well as the locked captain's cabin, a large group of people with long guns and short guns suddenly poured out and pointed their guns at them. Li family sailors.
There were so many of them, there were hundreds of them, and they filled the entire deck at once.
Then, countless black guns were aimed at Adéwal and his men who were looking at each other, so that before they had time to revolt, they had to honestly drop their weapons and raise their hands. hands.
At the same time, a large group of musketeers also flooded out of the wheelhouse above the stern, directly forcing the pirate captain Edward back and surrounding them in the middle.
"ah!"
First he exclaimed, and then, Adéwal finally realized why Edward suddenly stood still at the door just now.
Immediately afterwards, the whole ship, and even the entire Li family's fleet suddenly seemed to wake up, and various sounds and bells rang out one after another. Afterwards, one by one gun doors were opened, and more than a hundred cannons were pushed out. Go out and aim at the pirate ship that is sailing side by side with the 'Xiangfeihu'.
Then, the four giant battleships in the fog in front also turned back at this time, directly blocking the pirate ship that was still trying to resist or escape, and was blocked by at least 500 terrifying artillery pieces. The muzzle was aimed.
There was no hope of escape, and there was no choice but to raise the white flag and lower its sails on the seemingly flexible Galen ship.
"a ha ha ha!"
(*)
"You villains, still want to sneak up and steal other people's boats?"
(ψ`▽′)o
"Say! Who sent you here? Also, how do you want to die?!"
|ω)
Finally, after seeing that the situation was completely under control, a domineering little girl slid down from the tallest mast in a circle, and proudly walked away under the watchful eyes of all the pirates. Arrived in front of the 'Edward' pirate captain who seemed to be the leader.
"..."
Facing countless black gun muzzles, Edward James Kenvey paused for a moment while looking at the little girl who was rumored to be as terrifying as a devil, but he still didn't make a sound after all. He just closed his eyes in frustration, and said helplessly. He dropped the two extremely sharp double knives in his hand.
