101 on ship.

"What do I want your head? What I want is the beauty of the East." Zhao Hao laughed and said, "Promise me, I must bring it to me!"

Qiaoqiao happened to serve the soup. When she heard this, her hands were soft and she almost dropped the soup basin to the ground.

She felt sad that she wanted to do it, so she quickly put the soup basin on the table and hurriedly left the restaurant. Then she sat in front of the brick stove in the kitchen and became sad.

"What's wrong?" Secretary Ma, who was helping her take care of the stove, looked at Qiaoqiao strangely. The faint flames reflected her face red and there was a crystal clear light.

"No, nothing." Qiao Qiao laughed forcibly, then broke the power, and whispered: "Young Master is going to force the girl to steal the girl."

"Ah?" Secretary Ma opened his mouth slightly in surprise. He thought to himself that the young master has grown up and is really promising. "How could that happen?"

"Yes, this person is really. Do you need to steal the beauty if you want a beauty?" Qiao Qiao blurted out with resentment: "I want to take up the one in the pot before I even eat it..."

"Bao, what nonsense am I talking about?" She blushed with shame after saying that, and covered her face and didn't dare to look up.

"Is the beauty you are talking about called...the beauty in the East?" Secretary Ma was Secretary Ma after all, and he understood every ravine of Zhao Hao.

"Yes, you knew it would have known!" Qiao Qiao raised her head in surprise, complaining that Sister Ma had hidden it from herself: "Didn't you say that we have to tighten the fence and stop getting in the dog?"

"Hell. Wait, let me laugh for a while..." Secretary Ma waved his hand and laughed in tears and said, "We can't compare this oriental beauty, even Miss Jiang and the little county lord can't compare."

"Is that so big? Could it be a Japanese princess?" Qiaoqiao asked in surprise, thinking that the county lord would be fine, but Miss Jiang would be in danger.

"You will know then..." Secretary Ma smiled so hard that his stomach hurt, and he kept it in hiding, and he didn't say anything if he beat him to death.

The wind blew all day long, the night sky was cloudless, and the moon was sparse.

The Futian Bay is pitch black, and the warships on both sides have banned the lights to prevent them from becoming targets for each other in the dark.

At two o'clock in the morning, the wind direction changed. The flag that was originally dancing towards the harbor suddenly opened upwards.

"God bless!" Colonel Pinto, who was about to despair, suddenly became energetic. He decided not to save money after returning to Macau and hired a serious monk from the church to be a boat priest, and no longer let the drunken boat doctor serve as a drunken boat doctor all day. The bastard's tyrant uniform was filled with alcohol, which would be strange if it could be done!

The European crew members on the Goa Governor had already received orders. When they saw the wind direction change, they immediately kicked and slept like a dead pig and shouted and went to the deck to Zhang Fan.

There are more than a dozen sails of large and small size on the four masts. Some are square sails that provide power, and some are triangle sails that help move the side. If it is fully lifted and lowered by manpower, it is simply unimaginable. Fortunately, this is a full-rigged sailboat, and a large number of movable rigging is installed, which can save time and effort by sailors, and can control the sails with few hands.

With the bright moonlight, more than a hundred well-trained South Asian sailors pulled various ropes in groups and used pulleys to control the lifting of the sails, keeping the sails tight through the beating ropes and corner ropes; using the pull ropes to move the cross-mast to obtain the maximum wind force.

After a while, many sails were finished and were stirred up by the northeast wind.

On the tummy of the boat, more than a dozen sailors worked hard together, desperately turning the main deck winch and put away the long anchor cable. Unlike what ordinary people imagine, sailboats are anchored on the sea, mainly relying on anchors, but long anchor cables... The seabed is mostly silt, which is a thousand kilograms of iron anchors. How much grip can it provide to catch a sailboat worth thousands of tons?

Therefore, breaking up does not mean pulling the ship by an iron anchor, but rather allowing the anchor cable to spread better on the seabed. Then, twisting the anchor cable into the silt under the seabed by two or three hundred meters of anchor cables to pull the ship. At the core of the Karak Sailboat, there is a cabin stacking anchor cable plates, and the anchor cable thicker than the arm can be fully expanded to thousands of meters.

~~

As soon as the anchor left the silt under the sea, the huge wooden boat of 1,500 yuan was finally out of its restraint. It slowly sailed westward under the agitation of countless sails.

The Oriental Beauty on the side also followed. In fact, the Garen ship was small and flexible, and he just wanted to protect the flagship and waited to set off together.

"Hurry!" Colonel Pinto stood on the stern, anxiously urging the sailors to adjust the ropes and move the masts to obtain the maximum wind power.

He was anxious and anxious! Because at this time, whether it was the Governor of Goa or the Oriental Beauty, they were all facing the enemy ships.

How many cannons are there on the bow of the ship? The Governor of Goa has two full snake cannons, six and a half snake cannons. The Oriental Beauty is even smaller, with only two full snake cannons, two and a half snake cannons...

In total, it would be better if the number of guns on the side of the first floor of the Governor Ah! But there is no way, the Portuguese naval thinking decided that they would arrange heavy guns on the side of the side. Instead of like the ancient Spanish, they still insisted on the largest guns and must be installed at the bow of the ship.

So this time, the Goa Duke's tactic was to get a cannon and rush into the enemy's formation! Using the huge hull that was several times the opponent's side, crushing the enemy ship and fighting for a way out.

The extremely tall hull made Pinto not worry about encountering a jump gang battle, so in his opinion, this battle would be at most to make the Duke of Goa get some lottery and kill a few monkeys, and it would still be able to bear it.

In order to be discovered later, the better, it was already this time, and there was no light on the Goa Duke. It was all because of Colonel Pinto's familiarity with the terrain of Fukudapur and the help of the compass, and drove towards the entrance of the bay in the dark!

The sails were swaying, and the heavy sailboat was getting faster and faster, and finally it increased its speed!

Colonel Pinto breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Duke of Goa got up at speed, no ship could stop him! A word that the Ming Dynasty people liked to say was "mantis the chariot when he was armed."

"Send a signal and let the Oriental Beauty follow me." The colonel's tense face finally showed a confident smile again. "When we drive into the outer sea and regain freedom, we will turn back to teach these arrogant Ming dynasty a lesson..."

Before he finished speaking, Colonel Pingto's eyes suddenly flashed with flames on the dark sea surface in front of him. Before he could react, the earth-shaking sound of cannons exploded in his ears!

The shells roared, causing the Duke of Goa to roar!

"How come they have so many full snake cannons?" Pingto looked at the opposite side in shock. The flashing tongues of flames must have exceeded hundreds, right? This is just one side of the ship. The entire ship and the entire fleet add up to three hundred doors? That's a big fuck!

The full snake cannon can be simply understood as a long-barrel cannon, and the half-snake cannon is an ordinary cannon. On the Duke of Goa, there are only fourteen full snake cannons, twenty-six half-snake cannons, and forty smaller falcon cannons... which is the so-called Red Barbarian cannon.

Although the Oriental Beauty is small, its firepower is almost the same as that of the Goa Governor. In total, it is less than thirty heavy artillery! How could the Ming Dynasty fleet have ten times the firepower that it is on its own?!

Now no one can answer his questions and have no time to think about it. Colonel Pinto made up his mind that once he broke out of the siege, he would immediately escape with the wind. He would never provoke a madman with three hundred heavy artillery!

"Order the bow of the ship, don't fight back!" Pingto immediately held the railing and roared outward.

There are only a few pitiful bow cannons in total, and the fire will not cause much damage, and the recoil will also affect the speed.

The commander ran to the bow of the ship to stop the gunners who had been loaded. The gunners shrugged indifferently. Anyway, they were in a dark and they were firing.

~~

The Ming Dynasty fleet opposite did not open the Sharingan, so how did they find the movement of the enemy ship from afar?

In addition to Wang Rulong foreseeing that the other party was going to break through and arranged a small boat to approach the surveillance in advance. It was also because the sails of the sailboat were white.

Twenty white sails rose up, and under the bright moon, you could see clearly two miles away.

So when the commanders of each ship saw it, I can’t see anything else, just sail the boat!

At this moment, the punishment fleet was at a downwind, and the side of the ship was tilted upwards on one side of the enemy, so that the muzzle was also facing upwards, just to hit the higher ground!

And there is another advantage in hitting sails, that is, the shells do not require too much force, so you can pursue range. Of course, the premise is that you can hit.

So as soon as the Carac sailboat entered within a thousand meters, the captains couldn't wait to order the firing. If anyone dared to fire at this distance during the day, they would probably be shot dead by Mr. Wang.

Soon, Xuande Pao's grandson could not stand the loneliness and joined the ranks of fire. The twenty-one warships lined up in fan shape no longer care about saving ammunition and increasing hits. Anyway, there is nothing to pay attention to when shooting birds indiscriminately - according to the pre-deployment, everything is to make the two Western sailboats lose power, but try not to hurt the hull of the Garen ship.

In fact, the latter sentence is nonsense. Before the 20th century, Galen ships sunk with cannons totaled no more than twenty. Often, after a naval battle, thousands of cannons fired together, and the battleships on both sides were riddled with holes, but they still did not sink.

So it is said that there is a reason for being expensive, and this is unbreakable.

The Yongle Cannon and its grandson flashed the flames at a speed of two to three rounds in one minute, and within eight minutes two thousand projectiles were shot out... One fifth of them hit the hull, mast and sail of the enemy ship. There were hundreds of holes of large size on the hull of the Karak Sailboat.

But it was just a hole and did not cause serious damage to the hull.

But the speed of the two large sailboats was significantly reduced. Because more than a hundred shells hit the power system of the two ships - the mast and sail, and even broke the foremast of the Goa Governor. When the mast fell, it also killed more than a dozen unexpected sailors...

Although the remaining masts were not broken, most of the sails on the top were holed. This is the problem of Western soft sails. Once they were broken, they would leak air. They were not as durable as Chinese hard sails, and they could still hold on to the wind...
