Standing beside Zhang Qiang was He Da, the chief soldier of the new fleet, and Pei Lan of the third fleet commanded more than 130 warships brought over by Zhang Qiang yesterday, and was now following ten nautical miles behind the Huaxia fleet group.

To the right of the sea towards Annam is the Fourth Fleet, which has one hundred and forty-five warships, led by Vice Admiral Sheeran.

"Order, let Xie Lan deal with Zheng Zhi's fleet, let him be sure to hold off the enemy's fleet at all costs." Zheng Zhi's fleet seemed to be able to use a lot of warships and warships because of the vicinity of his old nest, and there were more than 200 of them counted by the lookout alone, and there was a steady stream of ships coming out of the sea behind him.

"Let Perran's fleet deal with the remnants of the Great Prince's fleet and end the battle as soon as possible." More than 130 ships to deal with the enemy's more than 140 ships, and it is a second-rate fleet like the Hong family, and the more than 300 ships that were beaten last night were almost all wiped out, and they fled in a hurry, they must have a shadow in their hearts, let the main force of the Third Fleet, the general general, deal with them, these remnants of the defeated generals, Zhang Qiang felt that it was not a matter.

"We're going to deal with the Spanish fleet, it looks like a lot, but I guess that's not a thing, is it?" Zhang Qiang asked General Kodak, the former commander-in-chief of the Sixth Fleet beside him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will certainly live up to your expectations." Kodak raised his head and said to Zhang Qiang.

"Alright, deliver the order, let's get started." Zhang Qiang said to Kodak.

The order was conveyed in an orderly manner, and the fleet began to accelerate and turn within a radius of thirty nautical miles, each meeting the target assigned by Zhang Qiang.

Fierce naval battles began again.

Within an hour, the two sides began to engage each other, with Xie Lan's Fourth Fleet first making contact with Zheng Zhi's navy.

Compared with the Hong family, Zheng Zhi knows how to fight with the enemy, the two sides are separated by hundreds of meters to bombard, 1,000-ton warships against 1,000-ton warships, 800-ton warships against 800-ton warships, the following warships assault each other, the two sides from parallel lines to doped together, the entire battlefield is 20 nautical miles wide, the smoke of gunpowder is confused, the sound of artillery is rumbling, in the face of the enemy, the Chinese naval division is generally to solve the enemy from a distance, but the enemy has a numerical advantage.

At the beginning, the Huaxia sailors lined up neatly took advantage of the advantage, the speed was one or two knots faster than the enemy, and the ships were sensitive, because they were new ships, much more flexible than the old ships bought by Zheng Zhi, and the hull structure was also very strong, plus the sailors of the Huaxia Army were well-trained, compared to the enemy, the number of salvos could reach two and a half shots a minute, and the enemy could shoot one and a half shots at most, so the Huaxia Navy Division in the early stage quickly severely damaged the enemy's nearly ten thousand-ton warships, five eight-hundred-ton warships, and nearly thirty warships, The damage he suffered was minimal, because the distance was still far away, four hundred and fifty meters, and it was not Zheng Zhi's people who could shoot such a long range.

Zheng Zhi quickly discovered the problem, and immediately let the small warship rush up to cover the battleship charge, the distance between the two sides continued to approach, Zheng Zhi and their small warships suffered serious losses, and there were already twenty sunk.

The two sides were three hundred and eighty meters away, and Zheng Zhi and the others could finally send shells into the enemy's battle array, but the effect was not good, so they could only continue to let the small warships surprise the enemy, hoping to disrupt the enemy array and let the enemy fall into a melee.

The fleet of new warships of the Huaxia, which was still hovering in the center of the battle array, did not immediately maneuver and participated in the war.

Zhang Qiang watched with cold eyes as the two fleets collided with these betrayed enemies, and what saddened him was that the backbone of these enemies was precisely the traitors and traitors of the Han people, and the real enemies of the Han people were precisely those traitors and traitors in their own people, as well as careerists.

The Han people are more contradictory, they hope to expand the territory, but they don't want the heroes to open up the territory to have a better time, they always like to use their familiar means to seize these achievements after the victory of the war, and disdain to call those heroes Diao Min, is the devil that hinders world peace, executioners, and then they do not hesitate to give the territory opened up by the heroes to the enemy very generously, no, in their eyes, that is a friend, a kind person.

In order to gain their own land, they gave large tracts of land to their friends.

At this time, Du Ge was behind an island in the back, this island was not big, but he was close to the battlefield, and the altitude was high, his fleet was hiding in the sea behind, and it would not be possible to find it if he did not reconnoiter carefully.

"Your Excellency Taim, I hope that in the future, you can obtain the ownership of this land in Southeast Asia, and pay some necessary prices for me to seize the Kingdom of China and recover our country, well, where the Han people, I don't need it, give them to you, where there are beautiful girls of our Han people, where there are our Han industrious people, I believe that under the rule of Your Excellency Taim, you will definitely be able to contribute to the British Empire, and let the glory of the God of the British Empire shine on them."

Du Ge said very heroically.

Tyme sat on the sidelines, watching the battle, and said with a smile: "Thanks to General Du, I am sure that you will definitely exterminate the rebels and welcome back your king." ”

Du Ge nodded slightly, "Well, our king probably doesn't have that ambition anymore, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already an adult and teaches in a primary school, I think I can let him return to the Forbidden City and become the ruler of our Ming Dynasty, and I will do my best to assist him." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Then continue to look up and watch the battle.

To the west of the island, within 50 nautical miles of the wide sea, the fleets of the two sides were fighting in full swing, bloody and cruel.

Zheng Zhi watched the fight between the two sides anxiously, the fifty most powerful warships around him did not move, participating in the fight, he wanted to participate in it several times, but stopped several times, he was waiting for Du Ge's fleet to give support, but Du Ge's fleet did not arrive for a long time, but he did not know that Du Ge's fleet had already been ambushed on both sides, and watched coldly.

Although Zheng Zhi's fleet has a numerical advantage, most of the old hulls are armed merchant ships, and the Japanese sailors who were hastily summoned, the indigenous sailors of Southeast Asia, and the Han sailors of the Nanyang cannot be compared with Xie Lan, the veteran of the Chinese army and sailors at sea.

And Xie Lan's fleet was only thirty wounded, which was caused by the enemy's charge that was not as good as the losses, and now Zheng Zhi had lost his mind and did not want to bombard the sea battle line with the Huaxia Naval Division, but disbanded the fleet and ordered the fleet to charge fiercely.

In the wide sea area, the charge of nearly 300 warships still made Xie Lan's fleet have to respond, with the situation of a small fleet, every twenty ships formed a small fleet, interspersed to deal with the enemy.

And his 1,000-ton warships and 800-ton warships still roamed the enemy's perimeter under the cover of 600-ton warships, constantly killing Zheng Zhi's fleet warships that wanted to break through through through intensive artillery fire.

Although he is not at ease, he is not in a hurry, and he still controls the rhythm of the battle.

The eldest prince's fleet surrounded them under Zheng Zhi's repeated urging, which was exactly what Xie Lan wanted, and he opened fire on both sides, without wasting one of the fleet's artillery fire.

After slightly defeating the fleet on the side of the eldest prince, the fleet led by Perrin rushed towards the Spanish fleet, and the Spaniards were different from the chaotic battle of the Chinese who beat the master to death, and launched a battle line bombardment with Perran's fleet.

Seeing this moment, Zhang Qiang said to Kodak: "According to the original distribution, let's use the speed advantage from the flanks to seize the upper hand and defeat the Spanish fleet, let's start." ”

Kodak looked at Xie Lan's fleet, which was surrounded by Zheng Zhi and the Great Prince's fleet, and said worriedly: "Our fleet is still too small, and the enemy's warships and warships are too many, should we wait a while and help Xie Lan first?" ”

Zhang Qiang glanced at Xie Lan, who was surrounded by nearly four hundred warships and warships, and Zheng Zhi's fifty warships were still on Xie Lan's side who had not participated in the battle in the distance, "It doesn't matter, those rabble can't defeat our fleet, even if we lose some, just right, we can replace it with a new ship, Xie Lan should also learn some lessons from it, they are just too proud." ”
