Chapter 660: Bloody battle (middle)

Sure enough, after seeing the small boats attacking the transport ship, French commander Valjeri was shocked. In order to ensure the safety of the transport ship, Valkyrie divided 30 large ships to intercept the English boats that tried to sneak into the transport ship. And for himself, he led 70 large ships and rushed to the English main fleet ...

If it were usual, Valjeri could not guarantee that his 70 ships would defeat the 54 British warships in front of him. But now, Valjeri understands one thing-the British fleet in front of him will not make way. As a result, they must fight hard with the French army. And the French are not afraid of hard work ...

Seeing that the main battleships of the two sides were mingled together, the two sides directly took out all the means and desperately hit the enemy.

The stern of the Kirk sailing ship in England is relatively tall, which is good for archery. Therefore, in the Wallace's fleet, the English shooters on the stern lifted their longbows and aimed at the enemy on the French ship ...

The French also used a crossbow to fight back, but the crossbow fired too slowly, and some of the muskets, and the English long archer can shoot 15 arrows in a minute ...

So, the French finally realized that shooting with the English was absolutely stupid ...

Therefore, under the command of the commanders, the French warships leaned on the British ships one after another, even if they collided. Otherwise, they will be the target of the British Longbowmen.

"Humph, dare to come over!" Wallace was on the stern, coldly looking at the French ship that had hit him. Then he commanded:

"Light a spare torch and throw it at the other party's ship!"

After the order was communicated, on the English warships, the British sailors took out spare sticks tied with rags and opened clay pots filled with goat oil ...

A few torches were sticked together in a clay pot filled with rag, and a torch was born. Moreover, it is a torch full of oil ...

The wooden ship was afraid of fire, and Wallace's response was to throw a torch dipped in goat oil on the approaching French warship and try to ignite the enemy ship ...

Although the road could not be cleared, the English fleet could not only stay there and wait for the French ship to collide. On a small scale, British warships can still do some maneuvering. Therefore, 54 of England's main battleships are all maneuvering within a certain range to avoid leaning against French ships. At the same time, the English Longbowmen on the stern were desperately shooting rockets at the deck of the French warship in an attempt to ignite the French ship.

But the French are not stupid, they have prepared buckets on the deck. Once the sail or the deck caught fire, they sent someone to water the fire.

However, if you can't catch up with the British ships and let them shoot arrows, there will still be a lot of casualties. To this end, Count Valjeri ordered-still outspoken, must be part of the British warship ...

Although the outsourcing of right and left disperses the power, Count Valjeri is not afraid. Why? Because he did not worry that the British would surround a part of his valuables. If the British fleet surrounded one of the French fleets, then they must stop to fight the French. At this time, another stock leaned over again, and at that time, it became a head-to-head scuffle. Then the British Longbowmen lost their advantage. During the melee, if the Longbowmen were approached by the French sailors, they would only be killed ...

Sure enough, under the outsourcing of the French fleet, two English warships were trapped. Sir Wallace must save it when he sees it. So, many English warships leaned over and wanted to help the siege ...

At this time, Count Valjeri took the opportunity to order more French warships to come up ... Then, a head-to-head battle on the sea opened ...

"Arrow! Arrow! Shoot the **** Frenchmen!" The British commander shouted from the deck.

Seeing that the main battleships of Britain and France are leaning together, this time, both sides are a little nervous. The British also knew that the archers on board were good at archery, not fighting head-on. Therefore, it is also good to shoot a few more French sailors before close combat.

The French are another way of thinking-they just want to bring the ships together. Then, let Hercules break down and try to hook the British boat. Next, send someone to jump and cut ...

Finally, a French ship finally caught an English warship. However, before the French were happy, the captain on the ship across from England shouted:

"Throw me!"

Then, a large amount of torches dipped in lamb oil were thrown onto the opposite French ship ...

This kind of torch is different from ordinary torches. The ordinary torches are only dipped with some grease on the top to support combustion, and this torch is full of grease on the wooden stick, and only the handle part is not dipped in oil, so it burns particularly vigorously.

At first, the Frenchman on the opposite ship didn't care too much—some torches, just see how I wiped it out ...

However, after the torches dipped in goat oil fell on the deck of a French ship, a lot of goat oil spilled on the deck and pooled together, causing a very high flame. Although the French extinguished most of the fire, the remaining flames reignited the part that had just been extinguished because of the presence of goat oil ...

As a result, the under-prepared French warship was in flames and it was difficult to extinguish it ...

However, the French captain of this ship is also a ruthless man. After seeing the sailors intending to jump into the sea to escape, the captain ordered loudly:

"Don't jump into the sea! To jump, just jump on the British ship! Remember to bring a knife and hack them!"

After the mother, hundreds of French sailors on the ship, led by the fierce captain, began to climb the British ship along the chain ...

The captain and first officer climbed to the front, but they failed to board the British ship. Because they all hit the arrow and fell into the sea. However, the captain did not die, but continued to shout while swimming in the sea:

"Don't give up and continue to climb over! Our ship is over, but don't let the British guys get better!"

Having finished speaking, he continued to swim towards the British ship, trying to climb up from underwater ...

Encouraged by the captain, the French sailors struggled to climb towards the opposite side regardless of their height ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Although more than 30 people were shot by the English long archer, more than 60 people successfully climbed the opposite ferry. Then, a fight started ...

"For France!" The French sailors shouted, then waved their scimitars and rushed towards the British sailors ...

At this point, the longbow was useless. Because the sailors of both sides have already fought together and can't tell the enemy from us.

Of course, the long archers were mainly above the stern tower, and regarded the stern tower as an arrow tower. Most of them on deck are ordinary sailors. The English sailors on the deck, facing the French sailors, showed no weakness and pulled out the sailor's scimitar and cut it with the other party ...

The French are better at martial arts, after all, they have received formal training. Although the British sailors have not received formal martial arts training, they can win a lot of experience. They have not been guest pirates, and they have extremely rich experience in cutting people on board.

Therefore, the two sides played hard and difficult to distinguish, regardless of up and down ...

Seeing that the comrades failed to take advantage of it, the longbowmen upstairs could not sit still. So they dropped their longbows, replaced their scimitars, got down from the stern, and joined the ranks of chopping ...

In the end, by virtue of the superiority in numbers, the Englishmen killed more than 60 French sailors from the jetty. However, they also suffered heavy losses-more than 40 people were killed in battle and more than 30 people were cut and injured. Then, this ship is considered to have lost combat power ...

Other ships also staged battle dramas. The French knew that long-range crossfire was never an English opponent's opponent, and close quarters were the only chance. So, they leaned on the British ship like crazy. Even, the whole ship crashed into death ...

As for the torch that burned the ship, except for the first French ship that was caught off guard, the rest of the French ships failed. Why? Because they thought of a way to crack-pick up the torch and throw it back ...
