Chapter 1555 Commander Lin doesn¡¯t like to be passive

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Seeing the order from the flagship, the two frigates immediately adjusted their posture together with the 'Eternal Sinner Liu Daxia' and formed a single column in front of it. The bow of the ship was facing towards the mouth of the bay. The sailors were all in place, ready to go at any time.  Ready to raise sail and set sail.

    In the harbor behind the three ships, there are more than a dozen small boats, carrying crew members who are vacationing on the shore, paddling hard to board the ship.

    At this time, the Calais fleet flying the big red cross flag on the opposite side had already sailed into the Havana Bay from the narrow mouth of the bay.

    At the same time, the leading ship in Calais raised a red flag.  The expedition fleet had been dealing with the Spanish for some time, and naturally understood that it was an order to 'stop the ship, lower the sails, disarm, and accept boarding inspection'. If they did not comply, they would be bombarded immediately.

    Through the telescope, it can be clearly seen that the Spanish infantry on the Calaisian ship are fully armed and ready to board the ship, and the gunners on the bow have also lit torches.

    At this time, any commander might try his best to avoid conflict because the situation is too unfavorable for one's own side.

    The right time, right place, right people, and the right people are not with me.

    Although Lin Feng has been in the coast guard cadet for two years, his nature as a pirate will not change.  That is to strike first and never allow yourself to fall into passivity.

    She was born to be a desperado. In the eyes of others, she is a catastrophic disaster, but in her eyes, it happens to be the most exciting challenge.

    How can you let someone else fire the first shot?

    The Commander licked his lips excitedly, no matter what, let¡¯s fire the gun first!

    The six Hongwu cannons on the broad bow of the treasure ship roared one after another.

    Amidst the rumbling cannons, jets of water fell on the Calais fleet, drenching the Spanish soldiers wearing high helmets until they were soaked in water.

    Lin Feng¡¯s telescope was focused on the Spanish fort at the mouth of the harbor, and he saw that the heavy artillery truck that was originally pointing out of the bay had turned around and pointed at the mouth of the bay.

    ¡°Obviously, the garrison in Havana has also received the order, and it is estimated that the Cuban anti-smuggling fleet anchored at the North Pier will also be dispatched next.

    When the time comes, it will really be impossible to escape from the trap.

    "We can't wait any longer." Lin Feng made a decisive decision and said in a deep voice: "Order the Taizhou and Wenzhou to raise the sails and get out of the bay first!"

    "All small boats have sent people to the flagship. All crew members board the ship immediately. Do not return to the dock again!"

    As Lin Feng¡¯s orders were conveyed one after another, the two frigates that had already pulled anchor immediately raised their sails and started to slowly sail towards the mouth of the bay with the help of the southwesterly wind in the harbor.

    ??~~

    This is the Spanish fleet that came to seize the Ming Dynasty fleet.

    When Vice King Velasquez¡¯s order was conveyed to Veracruz, the fleet was preparing to perform the task of escorting the silver fleet to Cuba.

    Based on the principle of not bothering two people, the commander of the Veracruz base assigned this task to the anti-smuggling fleet.

    But the base commander is not just trying to save trouble, because the fleet commander, Captain Thiago, is one of the best naval generals in the colony. If he is in charge, nothing will go wrong.

    At this time, Colonel Tiago, who had a yellow beard, stood on the stern of his flagship, looking in disbelief at the Ming Dynasty sailing ship rushing towards him with its sails set.

    The reaction speed of these oriental people is too ridiculous. I haven¡¯t even taken a good position yet!

    "Quickly stop them!" The colonel calmed down and ordered loudly: "Fire, fire, fire!"

    The firepower output of the Galaisai battleship was all based on the bow. Dozens of artillery roared one after another. The shells roared and fired at the two large sailing ships that rushed up. White smoke billowed over the fleet.

    When the sea breeze blew away the gunpowder smoke, we saw the two Galen ships with special-shaped sails. The hulls were still intact, and there were a few holes in the sails, but it seemed to have no impact.

    At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than 200 meters.

    "Stop them!" Colonel Thiago roared.

    "Turn left!"

    "Turn right rudder!" The commanders of each warship ordered one after another, and the helmsmen pushed the huge rudder desperately.

    In the stuffy and smelly cabin, there are pairs of huge oars like centipede feet, which require three oarsmen to paddle.

    The oarsmen were shackled prisoners and slaves.  An officer blew a whistle and directed them to paddle as ordered.

    The supervisor with a whip patrolled back and forth in the middle, watching with eager eyes who dared to be lazy.

    Under the frantic rowing of hundreds of oarsmen, the huge Calais battleship moved as nimbly as a small sailboat of more than ten tons.  He quickly adjusted his posture and regained his position in front of the two large sailing ships.

    &?

    The sails of the three sailboats were fully opened. Taking advantage of the monsoon wind and the powerful Gulf Stream, the sailing speed was getting faster and faster. No matter how hard the Spaniards chased them, they could not catch up.

    In fact, Lin Feng didn't have to run too fast. Using big cannons to bombard her mother would have made these galaisai battleships with fewer cannons and shorter ranges very uncomfortable.  But just like in Havana Bay, she had to worry about those who weren't on board.

    If you attack the Spaniards too harshly, they may take revenge on the prisoners.  That's why Lin Fengcai didn't fire, but just ran for his life.

    The endurance of the Calais boat race is insufficient. After chasing for dozens of miles at full speed, the speed slows down.

    Seeing the Ming Dynasty¡¯s sailboat disappearing into the sea, Colonel Thiago had no choice but to accept this stain.

    "Go back to Havana and see how many prisoners there are. I hope I can write a reasonable report." Colonel Thiago is very good at being an official, which is also a common characteristic of colonial officials.

    The result was not bad. Nearly 200 Ming people who had not had time to board the ship were captured, and three ships were also captured.

    It¡¯s enough to make a deal.

    Colonel Thiago doesn¡¯t know that there is an old saying in the East that says ¡®women should not be messed with¡¯¡­

    And he also provoked two women (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
