Chapter 973 Encountering the Spanish Fleet
Shu Yao informed Zhang Fan about his situation in China. Zhang Fan was very happy. He didn't expect that the matter there would be smooth. So he asked Shu Yao to go back and preside over the affairs there and exchange Akan back. Because it seemed that the Ming government in China would build an ocean-going fleet, which was not a short time, and it would probably take at least one or two years.
Then the Caribbean also needs to develop and deal with all forces. A flexible wise man like Aken must be in charge of command. With his extensive knowledge base, the book demon is more suitable for construction and development.
Without mentioning the book demon, he found the giant turtle and turned back to China. Zhang Fanluyi came to the sea with two legendary ships and novelly controlled the canoe to go to Captain Baka's hiding port base.
After more than a week of sailing, I just arrived at the waters near the Saint Nicholas Harbor and found the sound of cannons rumbling on the sea in the distance! It seemed that a naval battle was taking place! Listening to the rhythm and frequency of the cannon sound, there were a lot of warships involved! Could it be that a large pirate group was looting a large merchant fleet?
Green Wing immediately summoned the mount "Bai Ze" and flew into the air to the scout. He was shocked to find the situation ahead! It turned out that the pirate group was plundering, it was clearly the Spanish Caribbean fleet that was suppressing bandits! Moreover, the pirates being suppressed were not someone else, but the "Caribbean Alliance" initiated by Zhang Fan's team!
Could it be the fleet of Caterina and Captain Hook? But they hadn't gone to Panama to ask for help, they should be still on the way at this time, so why were they intercepted by the Spanish fleet here and led the fleet?
But the battle situation below cannot be thought of by Green Wing Zhang Fan, because the fleet of Katerina and Captain Hook are in a disadvantage in all directions! Because their pirate fleet is still the old three-masted armed sailboats. Whether in terms of the number of warships or the number of artillery, they are obviously at disadvantage in terms of the number of warships or the number of artillery.
Fortunately, most of the fleet has been transformed into fast Galen warships, and the range of artillery artillery is relatively long. Therefore, these six three-masted armed sailboats are still dealing with more than a dozen large Spanish sailboats of the Spanish fleet!
"These two fools must have returned to the base and brought a group of pirates to rescue us. They did not go to Panama! They thought that if they brought more people, they would be able to get the "Tree of the Dead". "Green Wings knew these two pirate leaders very well. During this period, she fought with Katerina and Captain Hook, which made their temper very touched.
"Well, the Spanish fleet has been looking for them for a long time. They worked too much a while ago and appeared in this place of right and wrong before they could avoid the limelight. Hehe, there are no ones who don't get wet when they often stand by the river..." Zhang Fan said helplessly.
"What should I do? That fleet seems to be the main force of the Spanish Caribbean fleet. If they are defeated and arrested a few, our base will be exposed!" Green Wings were a little anxious.
Zhang Fan took a deep breath, "Then try the power of our two ships. Even if we can't win, we have to buy some time for them to run away. These two rash ghosts..."
…………
Enrikis waited in this area where pirates were inhabited for more than a month, and finally he discovered that it might be the fleet of the mysterious pirate group that had robbed more than a dozen Spanish merchant ships a while ago. This fleet was very rampant, and it seemed to have some tasks in a hurry. He actually wanted to break through the blockade of his own fleet with his own ship speed and break through! If it weren't for the many ships in the fleet, they would have really run away...
Caterina and Hook were very anxious. Unexpectedly, they went back to mobilize people. As soon as they showed up, they were in trouble and met the Spanish Caribbean fleet. And they were their enemy Enrikis who led the team himself! They originally wanted to break through and escape with the speed of the boat. But there were too many ships on the other side and they were entangled in this sea area, so it was difficult to get out!
When I was anxious, two strange ships drove over from the sea in the distance. One was very majestic, clearly the flagship of Baron Shi Fan, "Saint Van"! The other was actually a giant tree that was upside down on the sea? And this giant tree looked so familiar? No matter how you look, it looked like the strange "Tree of the Dead" seen in Florida...
The "Saint-Sacred Sailor" took the lead, rushed into the middle of the Spanish fleet, and ran straight to the opponent's flagship! It was a majestic and spectacular Spanish large Carac sailboat! More than 80 cannons can make warships in the entire Caribbean scared! The firepower of his ship can deal with an entire fleet of pirates!
There was actually a warship that dared to attack him! Enrikis didn't feel funny. The guy who drove the boat probably drank too much rum and thought he was driving God's Ark!
"Prepare the starboard fire and sink the brave ship!" Enrikis decided to wait for his opponent with the strongest firepower.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!" A series of cannons swept across the entire sea! The smoke completely blocked the gunner's vision. However, they didn't have to see the situation ahead. More than 40 guns were fired at once, and the opponent rushed straight towards him. Even if he was not sunk, he was still shattered...
But ten seconds later, a faint lion roar sounded in the misty smoke, followed by a blue-black horn, flashing with lightning, breaking through the waves and rushing over!
What's even more terrifying is that a misty and sad chant suddenly sounded over the deck of his ship, and a beam of light of more than ten meters in diameter fell from the sky and shot straight to the deck of Enrikis flagship! At one end of the sky of the beam of light, a sky door opened, and a six-winged seraphim angel slowly descended from the sky gate...
The seraphimony seemed very angry, and seemed slow, but in the blink of an eye, descended onto the deck. A giant sword with a holy fire in his hand slashed the deck fiercely! This sword seemed to slash Enrikis' flagship in half! Wherever the holy sword passed, the hull quickly decayed under the burning of the holy fire, and a rear mast even fell down because it was decayed by the holy sword!
Miracle! Most of the sailors on the deck believe in Catholicism, they throw away their weapons and kneel down on the ground! Enrikis himself is also a real knight, and he was extremely surprised by such miracle! What made the Lord so angry! He actually sent seraphim to punish his warship?! Is it because he was not pious enough? Or had he blasphemed the holy objects?
Before Enrikis could react, the seemingly rash warship had rushed to the front! Although it seemed to be in a mess, the mast was broken, and there were several large holes in the hull, the flashing lightning and the terrifying blue-black waterline hit the corner, penetrated the waves and pierced into Enrikis' flagship hull obliquely!
What's going on? It was still two hundred meters away just now? Could it be the impact ship combat skills! Enrikis' flagship shook heavily, and the sailors on the bottom deck screamed in horror! Looking from the outer sea, you can see a terrible scar. On the Enrikis' flagship waterline, there was still lightning!
Enrikis' flagship was much taller than the "Saint-Sacre" and there were gun holes on the three decks. But at this moment, the hull was shaken by the "Saint-Sacre" and the gunners on the running position could not be loaded and fired. Therefore, only a few shots were shot on the stern of the "Saint-Sacre".
The "Saint Vane" also began to fight back at close range. In the barrel of the bronze holy light cannon, a dazzling ball of holy light rotated and condensed, spitting out at Enrikis' flagship hull! The holy light cannon shell is a kind of spiritual attack, so the holy light ball penetrated the opponent's starboard bulkhead, causing the overall durability of the entire ship to be reduced a lot!
Although the Holy Light Cannonball did not make a big hole in the hull like the physical cannonball. Moreover, the opponent's hull also laid layers of defensive barriers under the protection of the Spanish royal badge on the flagship sails, offsetting the effect of the Holy Light Group. However, the hit parts still seemed to be disrepaired and began to decay.
If this attack reaches saturation, the opponent's hull will collapse due to decay and there is no chance of repair. However, the various exquisitely sculpted holy images on the hull began to flash, quickly recovering the damage caused by the holy light shells! It seems that this spiritual attack will cause limited damage to this powerful flagship.
After the first round of attacks, in order to avoid the opponent's physical artillery bombardment, the "Saint Van" took advantage of the opponent's influence of the miracle and had not yet reacted. A right full rudder and propeller rotated at high speed, drawing a beautiful arc on the sea surface, quickly leaving Enrikis' flagship artillery area.
Just as Enrikis breathed a sigh of relief, he saw the strange warship move away, a huge driftwood floated from behind it! It was like a giant tree was washed to the sea, and there was nothing wēixié. Therefore, Enrikis asked the sailors to repair and plug the hole in the leaky waterline as soon as possible, and control the warship to avoid the huge driftwood.
On the observation deck on the top of the mainmast of Enrikis flagship, the lookout saw a strange thing happening on the giant tree floating on the sea. Suddenly, many fruits and tumors broke on the canopy and the trunk, and a strange human-shaped monster emerged from each fruit and tumor. Moreover, many of the same dry monsters crawled out from the huge tree hole on the tree! The number is so large that it is amazing!
These dry monsters were wearing cracked bark armor and a dead wood bow in their hands. They climbed on the giant tree with agility and shot arrows at the crew of Enrikis' flagship in various postures!
"Swoosh!" A dead branch arrow flashed and green light magnified in the eyes of the lookout. The lookout who could not avoid let out a scream and was shot in his right eye. Then his entire head began to be woody, and his head exploded like a cracked tree tumor, sprinkling a bunch of wood chips. What an accurate arrow skill! What a terrifying arrow skill!
More dead branches were shot like raindrops, and the dense rain of arrows did not win by number, but each arrow was so accurate! Because many pruning branches actually drilled into the narrow gun hole and hit the gunners in the corner! The gunners were so scared that they immediately pulled the cannon back, closed the gun hole, and hid in the cannon cabin to pray!
