Chapter 1815 Let the tough guy fight
With Evans' shouts, the sailors who escaped the disaster near him passed the orders and gradually spread the orders to the flag commanders on the watchtower.
There was also a lot of scare and hurriedly spread the orders of His Earl to more than 50 friendly merchant ships through various flags.
Soon, another merchant ship with a displacement of nearly 300 tons a few hundred meters away from their location raised its flagship flagship to appease the hearts of sailors on the boats in friendly forces.
However, under the gaze of the captain and adjutant on the deck, Earl Evans's ship hurriedly turned and retreated for dozens of meters. Another wave of dense artillery fire came from the Xiao family merchant ship.
More than a hundred artillery fired together. Yes, at this moment, more than a dozen merchant ships and warships in Xiao's family fired almost all at the Evans.
There were more than 100 artillery fires in a round of volleys, and only seven shells hit the Evans, and no one else hit the target. The already seriously injured Evans suffered a severe blow again. The wooden hull on one side of the ship had seven large holes.
There is no doubt that these seven cannons are all 24 kilograms of cannons, which are the result of the top magic gunners of Dashang.
Perhaps it was because the seven heavy artillery smashed into the cabin and the poison was too wild. Even though there was no record of causing the ammunition depot to explode, the Evans obviously began to tilt, with a tilt and sinking after being blasted by the seven artillery. This seemed to make the water in the bottom of the ship even more violently.
A few hundred meters away, Earl Presley, who had just become the commander of the fleet, is only 29 years old this year, and is considered young and heroic. At first glance, he is a tall, rich and handsome man. However, looking at his elder Evans, the largest merchant ship in the family, was so easily beaten to a shipwreck, Earl Evans may have a life or death unknown?
Earl Presley was so scared that the Baili mirror in his hand was almost falling.
Beside the count, his entourage, Ben Marbury, also shivered and his face turned blue. "What should I do if I have to fight?"
Presley, who had just inherited his deceased father for more than a year at the age of 29, had no prestige in the army, but he was not good at military military affairs, had no ability or achievements, and even had no ambitions. He was only 29 years old. He hid in his fiefdom and spent money on his way, wouldn’t it be good to bully men and women and act as a domineering woman? Going to the battlefield or something is simply... I like to make some achievements in fighting a battle with the wind. Is it tough? Let the tough guys fight hard.
His entourage, Ben Marbury, was promoted from a civilian to a quasi-knight, or even a knight, not because of how good Ben was to fight. He was extremely skilled in beating horses, bullying the lower and beating the superiors, and could serve the young Count with comfort. As long as he had a pride, he didn't need to consider anything, he just needed to enjoy it.
This was originally a robbery of the elders who followed him, Earl Earl Earl Everest, who had made military achievements. Why was it so tragic?
The Evans retreated for dozens of meters and was still hit by the second round and could not take care of themselves. At this moment, they were only more than 400 meters away from the Xiao family caravan.
More than 400 meters, even if Presley was a fool, he knew that more than 50 merchant ships on his side fired volleys and fired hundreds of cannons, and at most several hit the target.
But on the side of the Xiao family caravan, as long as it slows down, the god gunners from the Da Shang on the two warships will be sent to the reserve flagship of the Presley, and maybe he will die.
Accompanied by Ben Marbury's exclamation, many sailors nearby were also nervous. Not only the sailors here, but also the captains of more than 50 merchant ships in straight lines in other areas were waiting for the flag-spoken instructions of the Presley.
The original commander was seriously injured and retreated, and left the second line. They also witnessed the terror of the Xiao merchant ship. Whoever was targeted was basically injured in one round. They were nervous. The new commander did not instruct, and they really didn't know whether to continue to fight or retreat tactically?
