The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 659 Bloody Battle (1)

As expected by Count Valgerie, when the 50 main French warships were divided into two groups to outflank the past, the victory was immediately achieved. , Visit the latest chapter: ШШШ.79xs.СоМ.

If they can escape and make way, the small and medium-sized warships of the British army will not have any losses. However, Wallace gave these boats a dead order - to circle around and not to get out of the way...

This made it difficult for Wallace's deputy Jackson, who was in charge of commanding small and medium-sized English warships. In order to block the route to Hastings, he had to lead more than 40 small and medium-sized warships and French warships to go around in a small circle. .

However, if the French still kept their ships together, they could still circle around the enemy. But the French learned to be 'fine' this time, and they were divided into two parts to outflank them. This is very difficult to solve. The English fleet circled around desperately, but three or four small boats were still caught by two French fleets...

After being caught by the French warships, these English sailors also knew that they were in trouble. So, they chose to desperately...

In fact, these sailors are used to desperately trying. Because, at ordinary times, these English ships are also used to robbing French merchant ships and guest pirates. The French hated these English sailors. Therefore, as long as they are caught by the French army, these sailors who are guest pirates will be executed without pardon. Therefore, they never had the idea of ​​surrendering, because if they surrendered, they would be executed as well. It is better to work hard.

After the French fleet surrounded the four English boats, they first leaned in slowly, then, finding a strong man, they threw the chain with the head anchor at the English boats...

There are several hooks on the anchor head, which are used to catch enemy ships. Once the enemy ship is hooked by the anchor head, then the sailors of this side can bite the machete with their mouths and climb to the opposite ship through the chain to cut each other...

The French were also prepared to deal with the British. They don't want to catch up with the British in "shooting" arrows, because the British longbowmen need more than ten years of uninterrupted practice, and even the time to play football is deprived.

The French obviously will not organize the whole people to practice 'shooting' arrows. After all, France is a country headed by knights. To a certain extent, the French knight class is hostile to archers who are not upright enough.

Therefore, the French can only jump on the boat to help each other cut each other's efforts. To this end, the French specially trained many soldiers to fight on board. Their martial arts are all trained by professional knights, and they use the swordsmanship of knight light swords.

In fact, the reason why pirates use machetes instead of light swords is because the back of the machete is not edged and can be bitten with the mouth, which is convenient for pirates to climb the ship. If it is a sword, it is easy to cut the mouth when biting on the blade. Therefore, pirates are used to using machetes. But in combat, although the usage of one-handed swords and one-handed swords is different, there are also many common techniques. Therefore, the French simply let the knights who are "proficient" in various martial arts,

Trained a group of sailors using one-handed swords, and taught them the martial arts of one-handed sword fighting.

Now, these sailors have all come in handy...

However, the British did not wait to die, but carried out a 'fierce' resistance...

Seeing that the strong man on the French ship was about to throw the anchor, the English captains ordered:

"Knock down those iron anchors with a stick!"

So the sailors found long sticks one after another and smashed them at the flying anchors. There's no need to knock the anchor out, just miss it. As long as it misses, the French's iron anchor will not be able to hook their own ships...

At the same time, the archers on the English ship aimed at the French strongmen who threw the iron anchors, and the long arrows poured down like rain...

After injuring several strong men, the French had to put plate armor on those strong men. Then, a new round of throwing anchors began again...

After all, the four small boats of the English fleet were surrounded by circles, and they could block one direction, but they could never block the enemy from all directions. Eventually, their ship began to get hooked by the iron anchors...

Then the French began to climb down the chains to the English ship...

"Shoot them to death!" Seeing this, the English captains had no choice but to let the archers "shoot" the French sailors who were trying to climb over. At such a close distance, the longbow's head is still very good. Therefore, many French sailors fell into the water one after another.

The French are not happy at first sight - what's the matter, you have a long-range attack? Look at my crossbow...

Then, the French crossbow was taken out...

If the number of ships and the number of people are the same, the 'fire' speed of the crossbow is far less than that of the longbow. But it's different now, because the French surrounded these four ships in groups, and the number of people was an overwhelming 'sex' advantage...

The crossbow is more accurate than the English longbow at close range aiming 'shoots'. Although the 'shooting' speed is slower, I can't stand the French ships around...

As a result, under the 'precise' blow of the crossbows on the surrounding French ships, the archers on the English boats were shot, and the blood immediately stained the decks of the English warships...

Seeing that the English archers were suppressed, the French sailors took their machetes and climbed along the chains to the English ship. This time, the English couldn't stop them...

Then, a bloody fight broke out on the English ship...

Although the English sailors were more experienced, they did not lose to the French sailors one-on-one. But, it's useless...because, there are too many French...

On the French warships here, there are always French sailors crawling towards the English warships, and there are also some French crossbowmen looking for the fish that slip through the net...

After a brutal fight, the four English warships fell, and the decks were covered in blood... In the end, only a few sailors with good water 'sex' saw that the situation was over and jumped into the sea to escape. And the others, all died in battle...

As expected by the English, the French have long hated English pirates. Therefore, for those English sailors who were wounded and fell on the deck, the French sailors showed no mercy and had no idea of ​​treating them, but made up for it...

In the end, except for those who jumped into the sea to escape, all the English sailors on the four English boats died. Even the English sailors who jumped into the sea to escape were killed by the French crossbows...

Just when the 50 French warships were planning to repeat the old trick and grab a few smaller ships to annihilate, Wallace came with 54 main warships...

Wallace understood that those small and medium-sized warships could not be the opponents of the French. If these 50 French main battleships are allowed to continue to clear the field, those small ships will be finished. And once those boats were gone, the French fleet's route to Hastings was wide open...

For this reason, Wallace had to rush over with the main battleship and fight these French warships head-on...

If it was just the front, Wallace's 54 English warships would never lose to the 50 French warships on the opposite side. However, seeing the other 50 French warships chasing after him, Sir Wallace felt bitter...

However, he didn't have time for that. Whether he can survive this naval battle, Wallace does not know. But he knew that he must not let the opponent continue to clean up those boats. Under the flank of the French ships, those small ships had no chance of being spared, just like the four small British warships that had just been bloodbathed by the French...

So, Wallace came over with the main battleship and took over the task just ahead. Wallace then sent the skiff to inform Jackson, the second-in-command of the skiff, to disperse and fight the enemy...

Now that Wallace's big ship and the enemy were just facing each other, those small ships did not have to and continued to guard the route to Hastings. That way, those boats can be freed up to do something else...

Wallace's order to Jackson was - to disperse and to harass those French transports...

Those transport ships are very important, in order to protect the transport ships, the French will inevitably separate large ships to intercept them. In this way, Wallace's main fleet does not need to face the enemy's 100 main battleships - that is a situation of certain death...
