Zhang Qiang shook his head, "No, although the tonnage of that ship is two hundred tons smaller, it can't run fast, just let him follow the fleet, and if it is thrown out, it will become food in other people's mouths." ”

The captain has no choice but to listen to Zhang Qiang, who made Zhang Qiang His Majesty.

Following the fifteen six-hundred-ton warships around him, two were missing, I don't know if they were destroyed or captured by the enemy, three followed Perrin to the Fifth Fleet station, ten scattered to transmit messages in all directions, only this one returned in a hurry, now the fleet is full of warships, only he is a warship, a ship with a small tonnage, this is the tradition of the Chinese sailors, so even if it is not a reconnaissance ship, a patrol ship, or a traffic ship, he must be able to rank the strength of the battle line to do the work of three kinds of ships, Who made it the smallest tonnage now?

"Bell stalls, stalls,"

In the distance, the lookout on an 800-ton battleship in the rear suddenly rang the warning bell, and the bell passed through one ship after another, and finally arrived at the Huaxia 310 ship, and the lookout hand above also rang the bell, and quickly interpreted the signal flags from other ships.

"A fleet was found in the rear, hoisting the Hongzi flag, which was preliminarily judged to be the flag of the second prince's son, the little prince,"

Then, after a minute's pause, the lookout reinterpreted the signal again, "They have about a hundred ships, fifty-eight armed merchant ships, ranging in tonnage from ninety to six hundred tons, all of which have been converted from the old ships we sold them, and forty-two warships, which are our twelve-year-old ship-type naval ships, about six hundred tons to six hundred and eighty ......tons, and fifteen thousand-ton warships, seven are thirteen-year-old warships, and eight are seven-year warships, the enemy may be the same gang that once attacked our Fifth Fleet. ”

The seven-year battleship is a battleship that has never been sold by the Huaxia Military Naval Division, and no one has been able to imitate it so far, and Du Ge and they can only copy the 300-ton warship of the Huaxia Military Naval Division, or the 600-ton warship, which are all old models, and each batch of the Huaxia Military Naval Division, each year-old warship has a huge difference in appearance, so even from a distance, familiar sailors can quickly recognize it.

And Du Ge's rebellion was five years ago, and he couldn't get in touch with the sailor at that time, so he could only understand some of the techniques of the sailor, and he could only understand the old experience of transforming the old Ming ship or the Galen sailing ship in the past.

The last seven-year warships are step by step out of the Daming Fu ship, the Daming Guang ship, and the ship type that combines the characteristics of some other Chinese warships, and is transformed into a warship that combines the Karak ship and the Daming ship, completely getting rid of the Daming ship type and blending the Karak ship, the Portuguese warship, the Spanish Galen ship, the Karak ship, the Caravel ship, the galley ship, and the Spanish Galen ship, and the Spanish Galen ship, transforming the Spanish Galen ship, combining the characteristics of the Daming sail and the Western sail of the warship, and the tonnage is increased from 300 tons to 600 tons. To the 800-ton ship type, the ship type of the combination of the Spanish Galen ship and the British Galen ship, the ship type of the British Galen ship combined with the new type of warship, and the ship type that is more advanced than the British Galen ship, the current development process of the old galleon is such a process.

The seven-year ship type has developed into the era of combining the Spanish Galen ship and the British Galen ship.

Each change in ship size is measured in years, and has its own unique characteristics from year to year.

The ships sold have never been more than ten years old, and the last one that was sold to the Zheng family broke this rule, but there were no seven-year ship types, and the eight-year ship type was considered good for them, that is to say, it was Zheng Zhi who could get the best ship type recently, and the ship type that the third prince bought this time, but they were all ships with more than seven years of ship type, ship types from seven years to the last year, and ship types until the emergence of new warships were never sold.

Zhang Qiang also didn't know how the ships of the Fifth Fleet were captured, seeing that the current situation was that the enemy had seized the initiative, and they actually intercepted their own fleet here, indicating that the enemy was specifically looking for them.

"Reflexively face the battle and line up in battle formation. Gather the enemy 600 meters and open fire, and wait for a salvo of nearly 420 meters. Zhang Qiang shouted.

With the transmission of the order, the entire fleet immediately approached, formed a long snake formation, circled half a circle, and reflexively met the enemy fleet, the enemy's fleet was scattered like a sheep, across the sea for almost ten miles, and the battleships of the Huaxia Kingdom turned a U-shaped bend, and formed a line-shaped battle line in an L-shape, rushing towards the right side of the enemy behind them.

Fifteen nautical miles, the whole fleet began to sail at full speed, the speed reached six knots, and then increased to seven knots, in order to maintain the formation, Huaxia No. 310 at the head of the fleet at a speed of seven knots and the battleships behind it kept a distance of 100 meters, and then each battleship kept a distance of 100 meters, opening a battle line formation nearly three miles long.

Fourteen nautical miles, the enemy's fleet has moved, began to become panicked, the formation is scattered, the sun is tilting on the sea, tilting again, but the light is more intense, as if it feels like it is about to fall, and it will be brilliant again, the heat of the sun directly reflects on the skin of the body through the uniform of the sailor, which makes people feel a little warm but uncomfortable, everyone just feels that the body temperature is rising, and a wave of irritability replaces the calm good mood.

Thirteen nautical miles, the enemy increased his speed, and their speed also reached the speed of five knots, which was already considered high speed compared to them being able to run six knots, because they were all old ships of the Huaxia Army.

However, the ships they captured could run at a high speed of seven to eight knots, but that was it, because in addition to the ships of the new warships, the rest of the Fifth Fleet were all old ships that had been withdrawn from the First to Fourth Fleets, and when the country was not completely unified, Zhang Qiang was not ready to provoke the states of the South China Sea, so all the old ships were equipped everywhere, because there were too many ships that had been sold repeatedly, Zhang Qiang put the 36 warships that had become an army for the first time in the Fifth Fleet.

The enemy approached at a speed of five knots, and this side advanced at a speed of seven to eight knots, and soon in less than an hour, the two sides approached each other when the sun was tilting so badly and the light on the sea turned pale yellow.

In the process, the fleet has been adjusted into four battle lines, with battleships in front and armed merchant ships in the back, coming towards the Chinese naval division.

However, the Huaxia sailors kept turning, turning, and forming a diagonal line with the enemy, so that the enemy could not adjust the formation into a battle line, and could only follow the turn.

The lookout suddenly shouted: "They say that they are the fleet of the little prince of the second prince of the Hong family, and they want to go to Koh Kong Island in Cambodia to support the Zheng family, they want us to get closer to them, do they have something to say to us?" ”

"What's the plot?" Zhang Qiang was stunned.

"Could it be that the second prince of the Hong family still has friendship with the Huaxia Kingdom?"

Well, although the second prince finally escaped when Prime Minister Yan Cheng and them opened the net, and the second prince also cooperated with Prime Minister Yan Cheng, Zhao Hui and they fought back and buried 500,000 soldiers and horses of the Japanese on Shikoku Island, but this friendship, do they think they can deceive themselves?
