Prince Hendrick really couldn't understand why there would be pirates at this time.

To put it bluntly, pirates were cultivated by continental countries to weaken their opponents.

Now that the continental countries are basically allied, where do pirates come from?

This pirate is not ordinary. There are far more than dozens of warships, and there are a large number of them behind them.

What's going on?

He looked at the strange warship and was a little confused.

This kind of warship looks like a standard standard for the European Union, but there are too many artillery sticking out, and there are at least twenty or thirty gun barrels on both sides of the warship!

By the way, the barrel.

People have stretched out the cannon barrel, can't they be ready to fire?

Question, this seems to be a bit far away!

Before he could react, the first row of warships actually made a shift and then a volley of sideways.

Hendrick was frightened and quickly ordered: "Telection, the fleet stops moving forward, loads ammunition, prepares to fire the gun, and the flagship retreats, retreats."

In fact, his judgment was still very accurate. The distance between the two sides was indeed a bit far. No shells fell on their warships in a round of side volleys.

The shells hit the sea dozens of feet in front of them.

"Bangbangbangbang" a row of huge water columns soared into the sky, and a mist immediately blocked the sight of both sides.

Seeing this, Hendrick was a little confused.

These pirates are at this level?

Can't we judge how far the range of your warship gun is?

Generally, you won’t do so randomly during naval battles. At least you have to wait until someone is close to five miles before firing. This is common sense!

Before he could figure out what was going on, there was another loud roar of cannons on the opposite side.

It was obvious that the second row of warships also began to fire volleys.

Question, the second row of warships are farther away, they have stopped moving forward, how can the shells reach them?

Sure enough, the second row of shells hit the water again.

The mist caused by the first row of shells has not yet dissipated, and another row of water columns soaring into the sky has been stirred up on the sea.

Where did this pirate come from? Why is it so naive?

Hendrick was a little confused.

If it was a mistake to say that there was no shell hitting them in the first round of volleys, then the second round of volleys was a brain problem.

Are these guys really brain problems?

Before Hendrick could figure it out, there was another loud roar of cannons on the opposite side.

Needless to think, the shells must have hit the water again. At this moment, the sea in front of them seemed to have rainstorms and could not see anything.

Hendrick raised his telescope and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned.

This is a little bit wrong!

Even if they have brain problems, they won’t waste ammunition so much.

He was stunned when another violent roar of artillery sounded from the opposite side.

Hendrick finally realized his reaction when he looked at the water curtain like thick fog in front of him.

There is no problem with others' minds. These pirates want to block their sight through the mist, and then rushed over to catch the ship!

He quickly ordered: "Hurry, send orders, all warships turn around and retreat!"...

Prince Kong Dai really wanted to seize the ship.

Because Taechang has said that no matter what he grabs, it is his.

These ships are loaded with strategic materials such as rubber, rough copper and rough iron, and the warship itself is more valuable than these materials.

Naturally, he couldn't bear to sink these warships.

Even if he sinks a ship, he will feel distressed for a long time!

At this moment, the warships that had fired the cannons were already lined up in two rows, rushing towards the opposite side at full speed along the edge of the water curtain, and thousands of wolf-toothed warships had already bypassed from both sides and followed.

He has an army of 50,000. It would be great if there were 10,000 people on a hundred warships carrying supplies. As long as they rushed over and picked up the sidelines, they would definitely be able to snatch these warships.

Hendrick reacted, but it was a little late, because it took time for the warship to turn around, and the distance between the two sides was about five or six miles at best.

With a distance of five or six miles, the ships and warships can rush over in less than ten minutes.

After he ordered the ship to stop, he was stunned for a while, and it had been wasted almost five minutes.

In other words, they can rush up within five minutes.

This time is not enough for hundreds of warships to turn around and accelerate.

Hendrick had no choice but to hope that these pirates would come a little slower.

Unfortunately, this hope was soon lost.

After two rounds of artillery attacks, two rows of warships appeared on the edges of both sides of the water curtain, and they had no time to escape.

Hendrick looked at the warship that was trying to turn around, thought anxiously again, then gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me, the fifty warships in the front row will spread out to block those pirate ships!"

This is simply asking someone to die!

If this was the combined fleet of the Continental Union, people would definitely not pee him.

Fortunately, this is their Dutch fleet, and the warships in front know that if these pirates are not blocked, hundreds of warships may be trapped here.

And they are in the front row, and the pirate ship is less than a kilometer away from them, and they have not completely turned around.

In this case, they will definitely not be able to escape.

If they could block these pirate ships, half of the warships in the back row could still run away.

More importantly, Prince Hendrick is also in the back row, so they naturally cannot let Prince Hendrick fall into the hands of these pirates.

Therefore, the front row executes the order without hesitation, spreads it out and blocks the two rows of pirate ships directly.

Soon, hundreds of warships squeezed into two regiments.

They just block people, so they will not let pirate ships go around.

This is much easier to connect to the sidelines, but half of them ran away.

Seeing this, Prince Kong Dai couldn't help but gritted his teeth in anger.

Seeing this, Prince Hendrick could only sigh slightly and accelerated to flee south with fifty warships.

The speed of the warships on both sides is almost the same. Once they run like this, it will naturally be difficult for those pirate ships to catch up.

However, Prince Hendrick led the warship to flee south for two or three hundred miles, and suddenly realized that the fresh water and food on their ships were not enough!

There were no supplies to go back all the way, and it took them more than ten days to bypass the territory of the Kingdom of West Africa...

Will the Kingdom of West Africa let them dock and replenish supplies?

This is absolutely impossible without thinking about it.

The West African Kingdom is very cruel to these colonists.

The 600,000 troops of Spain and the Holy Roman Empire were almost wiped out by others.

There were also 200,000 troops from Tsarist Russia and the Ottoman Empire, and even the 400,000 troops from France were bitten by tens of thousands.

They approach their coastline to replenish supplies, which is to ask for beating.

Question, what should I do if there is no supply?

If there is not enough food alone, there is not much problem. Everyone eats less every day and can only survive for ten days.

The freshwater they have not enough, but they can't get rid of it. Now they can only last for six or seven days at most. If they really have ten days of freshwater, I don't know how many people will die of thirst.

What to do?

Should I go to Cape Verde Islands or Dakar to replenish supplies?

That's just about delivering food to others!

It would be strange if the Ming Empire didn’t arrest them all.

Prince Hendrick frowned and pondered for a while, looked at the sky again, then gritted his teeth and ordered: "Tell me, the fleet turns to the rudder and heads westward."

He decided to take the risk of going around the ocean for half a circle, bypassing the Canary Islands, and go directly to the port south of Spain to replenish supplies.

Although this will take one or two days, it will only take four or five days to travel from Spain. As long as they save some drinks of fresh water, they should still be able to survive.

Prince Kong Dai really didn't expect that the Dutch commander would be so decisive and actually gave him a dead tail to survive.

If he had known this was the case, he would have divided the wolf-tooth warship into two rows and ambushed fifty or sixty miles away in front of the left and right. In this way, the enemy would not have to run away.

Unfortunately, it's too late to think about it now.
