The 12 English warships lined up in a row, the one in the east, are of great origin. This warship called the "Bol Warriors" comes from the Boer family. In other words, it is the Boer family where Edward's elder sister Princess Margaret is located.

Although Richard Pole, the loyal hero of Henry VII, was killed, he and Princess Margaret's children survived because they were the nephew of King Edward. Among them, Henry Pole also inherited the title of Earl of Salisbury of Princess Margaret. However, because he has half of his rebellious bloodline, his fiefdoms are not many, only a little better than ordinary barons.

This made Henry Poll, who had grown up, very unhappy, but he did not dare to express his dissatisfaction with King Edward, the uncle who killed thousands of nobles casually. Therefore, for the revitalization of the Poll family, he could only please Edward as much as possible.

Moreover, Edward VI had only Margaret, which gave him hope. That was to marry Princess Margaret and establish the Bol dynasty in England...

Although Edward VI had entered into a engagement with Marin and was about to marry Princess Margaret to Caesar, many of the native English nobles were dissatisfied with the king's only heir to marry a heir to a German prince.

Therefore, these people united secretly and wanted to imply that Henry Pole, a young nobleman who was close to the royal family, replaced Caesar and became the future husband of Little Princess Margaret. In this way, it was considered "wealth not to flow to outsiders' fields."

Henry Pole was also greatly encouraged and decided to seize this opportunity and show off himself well, and strive to become Margaret's cousin's future husband, replace the German barbarian, and create the Boer dynasty.

But first of all, he must have a certain status, preferably a certain contribution, to be convincing and let more English nobles support him to replace Caesar and become the prince consort of England.

He was not short of titles, but he did not have any credit for his actions. In addition, Edward hated his father, so Henry Poulk had the title of Earl but could not obtain real power.

While Ireland has been basically assessed, there is basically no war on England on land. If you want to gain military merit and show your talents, you can only find a way from the sea.

To this end, Henry Pole bought five Kirk sailboats at the suggestion of his adviser at home, which were used to make money by freight, but concentrated on fighting for England during wartime and gained military merits from the French...

Henry Bol himself has been stationed in Plymouth, a military port for many years, and is the flagship "Bol Warrior", which is the family's five warships, in order to obtain fighter jets and gain military merits.

Unfortunately, today the other four warships of the Boer family went to pick up goods. Only the flagship "Bol Warriors" did not go out and stayed in Plymouth. While waiting for the order, they were also preparing for the war.

Therefore, when Edward Howard dispatched his fleet urgently, the Boer family could only send a Kirk ship to participate in the battle. However, about 150 elite top swordsmen were gathered on this 200-ton warship. These people were all recruited by the Boer family to protect Henry Boer and help him gain military achievements.

If we were to fight on the sidelines, these 150 most elite swordsmen alone could easily defeat a large French warship of three or five hundred tons. After all, France seriously lacked elite swordsmen on board. France did not lack people with high martial arts skills, but lacked swordsmen who could jump and move freely on the ship.

However, the young Henry Pohl did not expect that the French warships he encountered this time were different, and they would not cut against you...

Looking at the French low-freeboard warships getting closer and closer, Henry Pohl seemed to see a wave of military achievements waving...

In order to fear of scaring away the enemy, Henry Pole even ordered that the 6-pound falcon cannons on the ship be fired stone bullets, avoiding scaring the Frenchman away and affecting the battle of the boarding. Anyway, the stone bullets fired by the few-pound falcon cannons can hurt several people on the other side without affecting the overall situation. What Henry Pole wants is to wipe out the enemy on a French ship and then capture a complete French warship. In this way, his contribution will be impressive. Only when he returns to London can he brag about his wise martial arts with his beautiful cousin Margaret...

Therefore, when the French Calais ship approached the "Bol Warrior", the ship did not avoid or dodge or fire, which was very strange.

Pregent Bidus also muttered in his heart - there will be no fraud, right...

You know, he was mentally prepared to be injured by the enemy's falcon cannons several sailors on the deck. However, the other party did not cooperate and did not fire...

But he was not in the mood to think about his opponent. Since you don’t fire, I will fire it!

So he shouted:

"Open fire!"

Suddenly, the gunners on the flagship "Louis" held wooden sticks tied with fuses and reached towards the fuse of the lizard monster gun. At the same time, in order to issue orders to the nearby warship, the commander at the bow shouted heart-wrenchingly to convey the orders, and waved his right arm downwards - that was a signal of shooting...

So, all six ships began to ignite the fuses of the lizard monster cannon...

Because he got closer, Henry Pole finally saw the six thick and short huge bronze cannons on the bow of the warship opposite...

"No, it's a large caliber artillery!"

The retainers of the Boer family did not react slowly, and quickly surrounded the young master and left the observation position on the side of the ship and retreated to the command room on the forecastle to avoid being hit by stray bullets.

However, they all thought too much, because Bidus never thought of hitting people with shells, but hitting boats with all their might.

You should know that because the Calais ship is a sailboat, there are a large number of oarsmen on the side, and it is difficult to install side guns. Although the caliber and power of the bow gun are huge, it is only one. Therefore, from the perspective of the gains and losses of naval battles, it is still the most cost-effective to catch a boat. Because if the enemy ship is sunk, the opposite side will definitely drown. This is on the sea, the water depth is far from land. If it is taken into the water with injuries, the bloody smell emitted by the wound blood will also attract sharks to bite and attack. Therefore, when the number of artillery fire is limited, hitting the boat is the best choice.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, the distance between the six Calais ships and the "Bol Warriors" has entered within 100 meters, only a few dozen meters. At such a short distance, even the shooting rate of the mortar cannon is not low.

In fact, if it weren't for the purpose of running away, Bidus wanted the Calais ship to shoot with its face. In that case, the hit rate would be 100%. But the problem is that the French sailors jumped into the ship to kill the enemy, and if they were close to the face, it would be too easy for the English sailors to jump onto the Calais ship.

Therefore, if the Calais ship is not bitten by the English, it must enter a distance of 100 meters and then opens fire. Then, leave a buffer distance for turning and turning and running.

Because it was the first time to shoot a volley against an English ship, the Calais ship's 50-pound stone bullet hit rate was not very high, but 6 stone bullets and 2 shots hit the target.

Among them, the first stone bullet hit the deck of the "Bol Warriors". The huge stone bullet killed two elite swordsmen recruited by the Boer family on the spot. The two sword soldiers were hit by the 50-pound stone ball shells on the spot without any time to react. Moreover, the body could not be guaranteed to be intact, and part of them was directly smashed by the stone bullets. Then, the stone ball formed a jump on the deck and injured several English swordsmen of the Boer family...

This is pretty good, it just hurts people and does not cause much damage to the ship. The position of the second stone bullet hit the point that made the "Bol Warriors" very uncomfortable. Because this stone bullet hit the side of the "Bol Warriors" and made a huge sound...

"Pu!" After a loud bang, wood chips flew across the side of the "Bol Warriors" and a huge pit was obviously smashed into the wooden boards on the outside of the side, almost causing the side hole to penetrate.

If you change to an ordinary English Kirk ship, it will definitely be pierced and then it will sink into water.

But this "Bol Warrior" is the head ship of the Earl family of the Boer family, so it specially reinforced its hull when it was built. Therefore, although it is also a Kirk sailboat, it is more resistant to smashing than ordinary Kirk sailboats. After one round of shooting, the "Bol Warrior" actually withstands.

But Pregent Biddus didn't care. After all, this kind of blow was not just one round. He asked the messenger to shout and make gestures. Then, the six Calais ships turned neatly in the northeast direction and began to circle back and forth...

The commander of the English Navy, Edward Howard, was unaware of this, and while letting the flagship "Mary Rose" advance, he ordered all English warships to turn east and move forward towards the French warships.

At this time, it was a westerly wind. But the wind was not strong, and the English warships only had a speed of more than 3 knots. The French Calais ship generally reached seven or eight knots because of the cooperation of sails and oarsmen. Even if they were moving in a circle and in a straight line, they were not slower than the English ship.

Then, the six Calais ships circled to the side of the "Bol Warriors" for the second time and began a second round of volleys...

This time, after the last round of test shots, the experienced Italian gunners were not as accurate as last time. Then, 6 50-pound stone bullets hit 4 shots!

One shot still fell on the deck and massacred the English sailors. The other three shots all hit the side of the "Bol Warriors".

Two of these three shells hit the part that was not hit last time, and there were still wood chips flying, but they did not penetrate. However, one of them hit the side of the first hit, causing a huge hole to be smashed out of the place that was about to fall apart. Suddenly, the sea water poured into the hole frantically. Henry Pole, who was hiding in the command room on the forecastle, and his men immediately felt the tilt of the hull.

"No, the boat has entered the water and will sink!" The experienced captain Thomas immediately made a judgment.

Then, without hesitation, he took out several life jackets from the shelf of the command room and handed them to Henry Pohl and several retainers of the Pohl family, and said in an urgent tone:

"Sir Earl, the hull has already entered the water, and it is sinking in front of you. Please go into the water immediately and take refuge on another boat!"

"But this warship..." Henry Pole hesitated.

"No matter how good the ship is, you are not as important as Lord Earl!" Captain Thomas said anxiously. Several retainers of the Boer family also agreed and helped Henry Boer put on a life jacket that looked very similar to the life jackets of later generations. What is different from later generations is that this life jacket is not made of rubber, but made of leather sewn and bonded. After inflating, the effect is not bad at all.

Marin stationed a fleet in Newcastle and recruited many English sailors. These English sailors naturally passed through life jackets commonly used by the North Sea Fleet. This life jacket was not difficult to make, and the English sailors naturally brought the technology back to the ships in England.

Coincidentally, after Henry Boer and his group got into the water and boarded a lifeboat, the direction of their escape was the direction where the English flagship "Mary Rose" arrived.

This "Mary Rose" is also a solid warship built by the Howard family, with its ability to resist breakdown than other ordinary merchant ships. Therefore, Henry Pole and his group naturally boarded the flagship. As for the other crew members of the "Bol Warrior", the captain and some high-ranking people boarded another lifeboat. The others swam to other ships, and many sailors didn't even have leather life jackets...

But what Henry didn't expect was that the fleet commander Edward Howard was a general who liked to be reckless. After saving Henry Boer and his group, Edward Howard commanded the "Mary Rose" to continue rushing forward in order to seek an opportunity to fight the French Calais ship.

At this time, under the leadership of Biddus, the French fleet completed another circumference maneuver and once again aimed the muzzles at a British warship...

This time the unlucky one was not the "Mary Rose", but another English warship. The "Mary Rose" was delayed for a while because it was about to rescue Henry Pole and his group, and they fell a little behind.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, the one who rushed to the front was an ordinary merchant ship called the "One-Eyed Rhodes". The owner of the ship was the captain One-Eyed Rhodes. He was originally a first mate on an English merchant ship, but in a robbery against French merchant ships, Captain Rods was blinded by his left eye when he led the sailors to fight on the French merchant ship, and he was then called "One-Eyed Rhodes". However, he also obtained one-third of the property on the French ship, which made him jump from a wealthy merchant from a poor first mate. Later, he bought a Kirk sailing ship himself, usually traveling to sea transportation, and robbed the French ship without any trouble. When he encountered the British king's recruitment, he also participated in naval battles to make a fortune. This time, his ship happened to be parked in Plymouth Harbor, and was temporarily illegitimate.

But the "One-Eyed Rhodes" is not a solid warship specially built by the nobles, but a bargain, which is made of ordinary wood and is not that strong.

Then, just two rock bullets hit the side, causing the side of the "One-Eyed Rhodes" to collapse...

"My ship!" the captain's one-eyed Rhodes shouted in grief.

Then, he stared at the French Calais ship in front of him with red eyes, shouting:

"If you have the courage, go row a boat with me and chase the French boat!"

Then, he took the lead in holding the wooden oars and boarded one of the two lifeboats. His sailors often followed him to play pirates at sea, and were not a good person. After receiving his appeal, more than a dozen strong old sailors and old pirates boarded the two lifeboats with knife, rope and wooden oars. Then, everyone worked together to sail towards the Calais at a speed that exceeded the ordinary Kirk sailboat.

But they had paddlers, and the French Calais ships were full of paddlers. So, they were destined to be thrown away by the Calais ship. Then, in the third round, the six Calais ships targeted another English ship, the Rock.

But the captain of the Rock was lucky. He was in a hurry and suddenly came up with a move - I turned and didn't face you sideways!

Then, the helmsmen of the Rock tried hard to pull the crowbar and control the tail rudder, so that the ship was facing the Calais ship...

Bidus was a little confused for a moment, but he quickly changed his target and ordered another English ship that had not turned around beside the fire.

After a round of shooting, the ship was not sunk on the spot because of the hasty aiming, but the mast was also broken, floating on the sea helplessly, losing its maneuverability...

Edward Howard, who was leading the flagship charge, was not stupid either. When he saw this scene, he was immediately inspired and ordered loudly to not face the opponent sideways. Then, he also directed another ship to cover the flank.

In this way, the Calais ship could not easily aim at the side of the Mary Rose. But Bidus was not discouraged. After another maneuvering around, he directly ordered the British ship blocking the side of the Mary Rose.

Then, although this ordinary British merchant ship was lucky enough not to be sunk, the sidewalk was also leaked. The sailors desperately blocked the gap, but the ship could not continue to fight, but could only stop and repair the blockade.

Then, after the fifth wheel maneuver was completed, the French fleet finally set its sight on the "Mary Rose"...

Edward Howard directed the flagship to dodge left and right, and then called on other ships to surround them. The Calais ship fired hastily, and the stone bullet hit three shots, and two shots hit the hull, which injured the ship, but did not penetrate it.

But the stone bullet hit the deck had extremely serious consequences...

What are the consequences? This rock bullet hit the deck. The first time it did not hit someone, it jumped down, and then flew straight to Edward Howard...

Edward Howard was shocked. He hurriedly dodged for a while, but still couldn't open it all. His left arm was directly broken by a heavy rock bullet...

The huge pain instantly drowned Edward Howard's nerves, and he couldn't help but wail...

At the same time, the stone bullets continued to cast a wooden box on the deck again. The wooden box was immediately smashed and wood chips flew across it. Among them, three pieces of wood flew towards the command room and accurately hit Henry Pole, who was watching the battle by the window...

“Ah————————————”

The young Henry Boer let out a shocking scream, and three wooden pieces were inserted in his left face in a funny way...

"Don't!" The retainers of the Boer family were completely depressed, thinking that the family was mainly worried. But after a closer look, fortunately, the wood piece was not inserted into the vital points, but just inserted into the left face. Although it was not fatal, the young Count would probably be distorted in the future...

The military doctors on the ship immediately started first aid. Their first aid methods were also learned from the military middle school of Beihai Kingdom, and even the gauze and alcohol produced by Beihai Kingdom.

Under the rescue of the military doctor, Henry Boer's wood chip was pulled out and the blood was stopped. Edward Howard, the main general, was miserable. When his left arm was smashed away, the blood squirted, which made the military doctor stunned for a moment.

Fortunately, the military doctor reacted quickly and blocked his left arm with gauze and alcohol in time to prevent the bleeding. But Edward Howard, the British Navy commander, also fell into a coma due to a lot of blood loss and severe pain...

Well, this naval battle could not be fought. The British had the intention to retreat. Coincidentally, after five high-intensity maneuvers, the oarsmen on the French Calais boat could not bear it. Bidus had to order the retreat and could not continue to expand the results. After all, the sailboat was driven by manpower. People had no strength and could not continue to move.

Then, the two sides returned to their own ships in a tacit understanding. But in the UK, two ships were sunk and three were injured. The main general and the young Count lost their arms and the other was broken. The losses were more than just painful... More importantly, this seriously damaged the morale of the English...

On the other hand, there were only a few paddlers in France who fainted from their strength, and the others suffered no losses. This battle was considered a great victory for the French!
