This time, led by the 'Sovereign of the Sea' and the 'Henry VII', hundreds of ships flew towards the French camp with artillery shells, large and small, causing waves of crashing into the water, as well as large pieces of fire. The sound of planks crushing and destroying.
The third round of bombardment was launched almost immediately after the French army bombarded.
At this time, most of the French army was admiring their own side's counterattack against the English coalition forces. Looking at the black smoke constantly rising in the distance, and even some sailors whose ships tilted and dived, they laughed unscrupulously.
While they were proud, the shells of the British Allied Forces came to them and fell straight into their ships.
In an instant, as the distance got closer and closer, the French army suffered more and more damage from the attack. Even the flagship "Hunter" was hit by three shells, and two big holes were broken on the deck. The shells easily tore through the fragile and thin deck and reached the interior of the hull, causing great casualties to the personnel of the 'Hunter'.
"Moreover, one of the English shells directly hit the inside of the Hunter from the side of the ship, not only causing great casualties to the sailors operating the oars!"
"Also, the shell created a huge hole, conservatively estimated to be the size of a gate."
"Due to the heavy casualties of the sailors and the large hole, the repair work has been delayed. The cave has more than doubled in size and is still expanding!"
"I roughly estimated that there were originally more than 300 people on board, but now there are only more than 30 healthy people, more than 100 wounded, and more than 100 people who fell into the water!"
After the shelling, General Renaldo had dust on his face, a few holes in his clothes, his lips were bitten, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
And the first officer of the 'Hunter', a young master from a wealthy businessman's family, came to Renado's side with a limp at this time, and reported in a crying voice. own clothes.
Facing the first officer's report with a hint of tears, Renardo still packed his clothes on his own. After listening, he turned his head and asked calmly, "And then?"
Facing his boss's conversational tone, the young first officer was about to cry, and his voice became more and more decadent.
"Your Excellency, the 'Hunter' has lost its ability to move. It is conservatively estimated that in half an hour, the 'Hunter' will sink into this sea area!"
Clutching his right leg scratched by the blown wood chips, the first officer felt that he was really unlucky. He wanted to come here to try his military exploits, but who knew that he encountered a stubble. Well, not only was it a waste of money to buy the opportunity, but also Looks like you have to pay a lot of money.
Renaldo would not know the remorse of the first mate next to him for losing money, but he also had mixed feelings in his heart.
"That is to say, we can only surrender?"
After a while, such a sentence floated out of Renaldo's mouth, and the young first officer could only cry and nod slightly.
Walking out of the cabin, Renaldo looked at the dilapidated deck, the wailing sailors with missing arms and legs, and the corpses still bleeding with bright red blood. He found a safe and relatively clean place and looked around.
I saw that the originally majestic and large-scale French expeditionary fleet was in a mess at this time.
Since the three battleships above 1,000 tons have always been the pioneers ahead, only one "Hunter" is left at this time, and the other two went directly to the sea to fish, and the remaining ships, 800 tons There are only four Galen ships left, of which two and half are in the water.
And the rest of the ships were basically either emitting thick smoke or half of their bodies entered the water, and there were less than 20 ships left intact. He lost this naval decisive battle.
Lost to a well-known Europa troop, in the hands of the English who were despised by Europa.
Venice lost so many ships in this naval battle, and he didn't feel bad at all. With Venice's shipbuilding level, it can basically make up for the loss in less than a month.
It's a pity, after this naval battle, his reputation in Venice may have plummeted.
At this time, on the side of the British coalition forces, Major James, who was sitting on the "Sovereign of the Sea", was like a happy child, alive and kicking, with an exaggerated smile on his face, and he couldn't stop it.
After laughing for a while, James rubbed his stiff face with his hands, and said to the messenger: "Notify me of all the ships, press them up, and force them to surrender, now these ships are ours! "
The orderly also had a happy expression on his face, and he responded loudly happily, and then hurriedly gave orders.
"These will all belong to our England from now on!" Holding a binoculars, Major James looked up with his right eye, looking at the "Hunter" and other ships emitting black smoke, drooling, and couldn't help but Looking forward to the situation after the British navy is strong.
Afterwards, under the order of Major James, the United Navy ships that were able to move basically all pressed up, and the distance from the French ships was getting closer and closer. This feeling of oppression was very scary.
"First Officer, let's surrender! We lost this time, and we will still be captured in the end if we resist."
On a 500-ton ship, seeing the chief officer preparing to fire a gun, a veteran in his thirties persuaded him.
The captain of the ship was already dead, and the chief officer was left to decide. The first officer was just about to bombard the approaching English ship, but the veteran hurriedly stopped him. He didn't want to accompany the young first officer to die.
"Then—" After hearing the persuasion, the young first officer hesitated for a while, then said in a dejected voice, "Surrender!"
Slowly, the ships raised a white flag, and then, as if contagious, all surviving ships also raised white flags and surrendered.
In the end, the "Hunter" seemed to be concerned about face, and only when it was the last one did it raise the white flag to surrender.
At this time in Edinburgh, the situation of the naval battle ahead seems to be known to the civilians, especially the strong strength of the French expeditionary force, so that these Scots have no confidence in the United Navy of England.
Most of the nobles and civilians in the city drove horse-drawn carts, donkey carts, and even small carts to the outside of the city, but Edward didn't stop them, and opened the city gates wide to let them go.
After all, if the French naval battle is victorious, a military disaster in Edinburgh is always inevitable.
Moreover, Edward himself also sent people to drive a small boat to observe the edge of the battlefield. If the English fleet fell into a disadvantage, he would quickly take the maid and little loli, sit in the carriage that had already been prepared, and return to England at high speed. .
At this time, in a secret room, Donald, Russell, Scott and the others who had already conspired were discussing happily.
