The damage from point blank range was devastating, as it sank four more ships, but it was still a fight that could be won. Once the Bakari ships got close enough to board, the sailors either began to fire their guns or the the few soldiers armed with halibreds began to chop the boards, though they were targets to the Bakari. However, the sailors tried to cover those soldiers. If there were no halibreds on a ship being boarded, troops tried to shoot or slash those who were coming on board.
Vollies of explosive cannonballs and chain shot were still being lobbed at the Bakari.
Fires broke out on the Bakari ships, due to they were wooden. The marines jumped into the water and attempted to use ropes to board the Ostyrlonian ships. Many Bakari died due to being shot, though, however they regrouped and retaliated. The Bakari began to light grenades and throw them onto the Ostyrlonian ships.
As the explosions rocked the ships, soldiers were being impaled by the wooden shrapnel from the explosions. Fires also began to light on the ships from the grenades, but they were small and easy to put out. The Bakari climbing on the sides of the ships were being knocked off the sides by soldiers by using the stocks of their guns or by the hilt of their swords. The chain shot and the explosive cannonballs were continuing to be fired.
