Warlock Royal Family

Chapter 204 Hayreddin

When the Austrians anxiously pulled a ship that had not been destroyed out of the stranded ground, Hayreddin had already commanded more than twenty large or giant sailboats, and spread their wings to attack the Spaniards.

Hayreddin didn't stand on the bridge. His height allowed him to choose to command from the bow. This position can also greatly boost the morale of the pirates.

The size of the Spanish fleet seems to be much larger than the information provided by the Venetians. There are not only five capital ships but also more than ten giant sailboats.

Only an extremely wealthy city-state like the Republic of Venice can establish such an effective intelligence system on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, which can fully control the movements of the Austrian Army and the Spanish Fleet. It is also the secret supply of the Venetians that keeps the Barbary pirates from being attacked Spotted by the Spanish Naval Squadron at Naples.

Hayreddin did not choose to encircle them completely, but launched a combat formation to fight a grand naval battle.

Although the youngest son of the new governor of Venice, Goriti, is still on his ship as a hostage, it seems that the other party did play a little trick and underreported the size of the Spanish fleet.

Fortunately, he expected that although the Venetians wanted the death of the Spaniards, they also wanted the death of Barbary pirates, so they assembled an unprecedentedly powerful pirate fleet.

Hayreddin was a little hesitant whether to go to the coast of Croatia, which belongs to the Kingdom of Hungary, as planned. There seemed to be a nobleman who hooked up with the Ottoman Empire and was willing to lead the way for Hayreddin's robbery.

The attitude of the Venetians is really ambiguous.

Incidentally, the consul of Gremania, who was captured by Ferdinand, died shortly after his ransom.After wasting a huge amount of ransom, Andre Goriti, who showed seductiveness in the negotiations with Austria, became the new consul of the Republic of Venice.

Fortunately, the wise Hai Leiding brought all the main force, otherwise, under the influence of the false information, both sides would be hurt.

It's a pity that in the night battle and the lack of advantages, it should be impossible to catch the Spanish princess, and the opponent's capital ship can break through.

However, being able to defeat a Spanish squadron head-on is already a remarkable achievement, and Sultan Suleiman will be very satisfied.

This victory was enough for the Spaniards to have no time to rescue the Hospitallers of Rhodes Island. Although His Majesty Ferdinand's loyalty to the allies in the Eastern Mediterranean was very doubtful, Suleiman was determined to destroy the opponent's ability and confidence instead of pinning his hopes on on the retreat of the enemy.

Crazy hands in this chapter)

Laciris has been engaged in maritime trade all year round, and it's not that she doesn't know the prestige of Barbary pirates, but she never imagined that the enemy would dare to go so deep into the Adriatic Sea.Panicked, she could only think of using the Habsburg name to protect herself, what a pity.Although the warlock royal family is powerful, there are indeed people who are not afraid of them.

Hayreddin learned a lesson from the death of his family and realized that with his own strength, he could not fight against the prosperous Spanish Kingdom. He fled to Istanbul and got the support of the Sultan and then came back again. With the backing of the Ottoman Empire, he was able to completely The Barbary pirates who controlled Algeria fought with the Spaniards in Algeria.

This vassal relationship is beneficial to both parties.

Without the support of the sultan, Hayreddin could not control these unreliable pirates.

The battlefield of Algeria, which is so close to the Spanish mainland, has attracted a lot of attention from Spain for a long time, greatly interfering with Spain's Mediterranean and even global strategies, and it is also a beneficial investment for the Ottoman Sultan.

Hayreddin was very calm amidst the din of pirates.He didn't have any nervousness, and he counted more wins than counted. This time, the help of the Venetians doomed the defeat of the Habsburg family.

He even lost his mind a little while observing the enemy's formation.

'After this victory, we should go to Istanbul again to ask for more supplies and aid, hoping that a miracle will happen to catch the princess. After all, all kinds of unpredictable things will happen in the night battle. If a Spanish princess becomes the harem of the sultan a member of.How many warships would the generous Sultan reward himself for this? '

Hayreddin's thoughts were interrupted by a loud bang and a surge of waves on deck, a near miss.

It is really remarkable that the trebuchets of the Spanish fleet can still shoot enemy ships at night.

The Spanish fleet was unexpectedly arrogant, though insufficient in number.However, instead of focusing their fire, they pulled the battle line wide open. The auxiliary ship took the initiative to break away from the protection of the capital ship. This was tantamount to giving up Spain's firepower advantage and pinning their hopes on the boarding battle.

Although Spanish sailors are also one of the best infantry of this era, pirates who are brave and good at fighting in the dark are not afraid of them.

Of course Hayreddin is not opposed to this situation, so that he can also pull the fleet apart to give full play to the numerical advantage.

As the distance got closer and closer, finally two pirate ships were hit by boulders, and the speed continued to slow down, and more pirates were knocked down by the water waves caused by the near-missing bullets. Standing at the bow of the ship, the pirates enthusiastically threw themselves into the boarding battle with high morale.

Gang jumping in the dark is an extremely dangerous job, even for pirates who do this job every day.

Coupled with the Spanish sailors who were waiting in full battle, the sound of shouting suddenly stopped and turned into a scream, which meant that another pirate was hacked to death or the rope was cut and fell into the sea.

Still, the night is an environment more suited to the more aggressive pirates than the disciplined sailors.

The battle line was wide open, and the experienced pirate captains cooperated with each other to form a group of two or three to deal with a Spanish ship. Of course, more than half of the pirate ships couldn't find their opponents because they wandered around for a long time at night.

All the pirates quietly avoided the Spanish battleship in the middle.

After all, the pirates were not a well-disciplined group. Hayreddin could rely on bloody tactics and harsh punishments to make them stop rape and robbery quickly, but it was impossible for them to have the spirit of sacrifice of the army.

Hayreddin also had no intention of using his core force to fight against the capital ship, and his ship also found a giant Spanish sail and used it.

Unlike most of the pirate ships that do not have the upper hand in one-on-one, the contest that Hayreddin was in was a terrible massacre for the Spaniards.

Because there are not only Haireddin who is not inferior to the perfect knight Bayar, but also several pirate mages on this ship.

Hayreddin, blessed with several kinds of beneficial magic, is like a tiger in a flock. There is no one under the huge trident. There are more than fifty Spanish sailors who have traveled all over the world and they have killed a thousand natives in America. The captain of the ship died in his hands like chopping melons and vegetables.

The entire battle from the jump to the surrender of the Spaniards in the last few compartments took less than 10 minutes.

Hayreddin licked the enemy's blood on his lips, raised his head and began to observe the battlefield again.

Including the one at Hayreddin's feet, at least two Spanish ships were unable to move in the face of the siege. Although the Spaniards were still resisting fiercely, their failure was certain.

There are also two Spanish ships that are fighting on board, and it is very likely that they will not escape.

Hayreddin did not immediately launch the next attack, but reorganized several surrounding pirate ships as a reserve team to guard against possible side attacks after the Spanish capital ship broke through.

But the Spanish battleship was already very blurred in sight at this time, and the Spanish commander seemed to lack the will to fight, and he didn't care about his own auxiliary ships and only wanted to escape.

This is very rare in the Spanish navy. To be precise, Hayreddin has never seen such a commander. Even if the ship carrying the princess and the dowry wants to escape, the other four ships should also detour to meet their own sails and use their boats. ah.

Just throwing it with a trebuchet a few times, isn't it afraid of being court-martialed?

Wait a minute.

Hayreddin suddenly realized the problem, why is the density of the throwing stone so small?

Even if the ship where the princess was in didn't participate in the battle at all, these stones should have the firepower density of two battleships instead of five battleships.

How is this going?

Hayreddin suddenly realized that he jumped into the sea.

He hooked several huge buckles to his body underwater, and when he reappeared on the surface of the sea tens of seconds later, he had transformed into a huge shark.

The deep roar of the shark spread across the battlefield, and the pirate ships followed his ship to chase the Spanish battleship.

At this time, the sky had begun to brighten, and Ladislaus on the coast could use a telescope to see the battlefield that was being fought.

The five Spanish capital ships were closest to the burning port of Trieste.

This battle is doomed, but as long as the capital ship can rush to the bay and run aground, it will be protected by the Austrian army, even if these Austrian troops are not good at fighting in this environment, the pirates will fight in front of the unprecedented density of powerhouses. Can't please.

However, Ladislaus found that a Barbary pirate ship was moving at an astonishing speed, and was rapidly shortening the distance. At this speed, it would definitely be able to catch the Spaniards before the capital ship turned into the bay.

"Hailedin is a druid like his elder brother Alu, but the time they can transform is very limited." Sazastan's voice came over. He once killed Alu who turned into a shark.

But this time, the red-robed archmage of the necromancy department couldn't help.

Although Hayreddin can't last long, it is enough to catch up with the Spanish battleship.

The commander of the Spanish fleet was also aware of this, and after some painful hesitation he ordered the orderlies to change the semaphore.

Under the gaze of the Austrians on the shore, except for the flagship with the princess flag and the command flag, the other four Spanish ships turned around in unison to meet the pirates.

What an amazing spirit of sacrifice.
