The commander of the Spanish fleet, Francis Drake, had not yet arranged the aftermath of his flagship when he saw the entire fleet of twenty-five ships of seven hundred and eighty tons sailing not far from his flagship.

The Huaxia fleet, with thirty guns and one gun, passed at a high speed of ten knots, and then suddenly turned at a very small angle, and came towards the center of his fleet, and the two twelve-pounder guns in front of the fleet fiercely fired three rounds of flowering shells at the flank decks of two Spanish thousand-ton battleships, a second-class battleship, and a third-class battleship with an interval of 100 meters on both sides.

Then countless flames burst from the stern to the bow of the other ship, and many people, even the inclined sails in the bow and stern were shattered.

The continuous explosions made the battleship shrouded in gunsmoke, and it was impossible to see the position of the opponent at all, so that it could not counterattack, and the other battleship that was gathered at a distance of 100 meters could hit the enemy battleship that was getting closer and closer, but when countless shells hit the enemy's battleship, they only saw sparks rising, and the enemy's battleship was only smashed into a few bowl-sized pits, and those shells that hit the deck of the ship caused damage to the enemy's personnel and deck guns.

But this still could not stop the enemy's advance, and on two consecutive occasions, the enemy had approached a distance of 100 meters from a distance of 600 meters, and the enemy's flank-spinning artillery could already hit them, and the first group of five guns smashed their side-spinning artillery windows with heavy flowering shells, exploding on the gun emplacement.

After killing many gunners, they ignited the powder kegs and directly blew up seven or eight adjacent gun emplacements, so that the guns on their side were basically scrapped and lost their ability to fight.

The second group was still attacking some of the other advancing ships of the fleet with flowering shells, so the Spanish fleet of five ships in a row, six were all scrapped on one side of the artillery, although some of the guns could fire, but the solid shells smashed by the scattered guns were not very lethal for the enemy's hull covered with iron plates, and the enemy's fleet, twenty-five battleships easily passed through the eighth and ninth battleships, and then used thirty-one guns on both sides to easily smash the battleships on both sides, and sank three, seriously wounded five, easily passed through the middle of the line of their battleships, and disrupted their battle line.

Then this force passed through the middle of the fleet commanded by Perrin on the opposite side with some damage, and then went around to the rear, biting a dozen battleships in the tail at one time.

The dozen or so battleships in front were entangled by twelve flying clippers, and there were not many guns on one of their side, but eight, and a total of only twenty guns, but the Spanish fleet was at a loss and could not fight, because the enemy ships were small, and the guns fired at a long distance, shooting at 400 meters, which was a nightmare for the Spanish artillery that could only hit 380 meters at the farthest.

In chaos, the Spanish fleet was in chaos, and fell into chaos, their fleet was surrounded and cut, and the twenty-five seven-hundred-ton warships of the Huaxia that came back used nearly seven hundred cannons to ravage everything they encountered the Spanish fleet.

Du Ge had already rushed down, and the Spanish fleet must not be wiped out.

His two hundred ships set sail quickly, and it took half an hour to circle the island and appear on the edge of the battlefield.

By this time the thirty ships of the British fleet had been entangled in twelve clippers, and they were beating the little ones like flies on the south side, twelve nautical miles from the battlefield.

The Spanish fleet was divided into three parts, one was entangled by the warship fleet led by Zhang Liwei, which were all armed merchant ships in the Spanish fleet, as well as some small warships.

The other was entangled by the battleship force under the command of Perrin and the six-hundred-ton warship force, which was nearly fifty warships of the Spanish fleet, and they were in the middle of the battlefield near the west, and on the other side was the fleet of the Great Prince and Zheng Zhi who were fighting with the Fourth Fleet led by Xie Lan.

The other part is close to the island, but has moved to the sea twelve nautical miles south of the island.

Here Kodak led twenty-five battleships of the Huaxia to besiege forty warships and warships.

The Spanish fleet had already lost almost a hundred warships and warships.

A few were previously sunk by Perran's fleet, and most were sunk by the Huaxia fleet.

So far, the Huaxia fleet has only suffered minor casualties, and the others have some innocuous casualties, they opened fire from 500 meters away, but the enemy could only keep approaching them, but at a high speed of ten knots, the enemy could only be beaten, but could not fight back.

Many ships have lowered their sails, hoisted white flags and surrendered.

As the war progressed, Du Ge knew that if he didn't participate in the war again, when the Huaxia had dealt with the last forty warships and warships, then they would suffer a crushing defeat.

Although the Dutch fleet had only been destroyed on Kogong Island so far, and Du Ge's warships and warships had not suffered much damage, he knew that if the Huaxia army was allowed to win, they would never be able to touch the entire South China Sea again.

Zhang Qiang saw Du Ge's fleet coming out, and said to Kodak beside him: "Destroy these forty remnants of the Spanish fleet as soon as possible, and then we will go and destroy the British and let them chase after them." ”

Although he was still concentrating on commanding the fleet, Kodak still turned around and gave Zhang Qiang a knowing smile that I understand what you mean, he understands what Zhang Qiang means, let him lead the ships of these fleets a little farther away, and then destroy them, and then go further away to pursue the British, and let Du Ge's fleet chase them.

With the condition of the ships of Du Ge's fleet, I am afraid that it will take three hours to catch up with them, and the speed of four knots, even if the wind is not small now, soaring to five knots or six knots, when the time comes, it will still be the Huaxia Naval Division's Huaxia fleet to wait for work, and their new warships can easily increase the speed of the ships to twelve knots under such wind power with the performance of the ships, but the old warships of Du Ge's fleet are not even as fast as the old battleships of the Huaxia Naval Division obtained by Zheng Zhi, and they can't catch up at all.

Perrin said to the herald: "Pay attention to the whole fleet, get close to the enemy at a distance of three hundred and eighty meters, bombard the enemy fiercely, don't be afraid of damage, we are more resistant to beating than the enemy, and we must make the enemy surrender by virtue of damage." ”

So the fleet drew an arc on the sea, approached the enemy again more than 20 meters, and then fired a salvo of 700 cannons, sinking five enemy warships and damaging one armed merchant ship at once.

Another salvo, the enemy was scattered and forced to retreat, not much gained, but the fleet approached fifty meters away again, fired another salvo, and sank two more enemy ships, the Spanish fleet had to flee, but the Chinese fleet immediately divided five ships to intercept, the Spaniards were already nearly fifteen nautical miles away from the other part of the fleet, and in the face of the enemy's ferocity, they had to raise the white flag.

Perrin said to the heralds, "Let them all go down to the cabin, lower the sails, let the five ships come up, and we will approach fifty meters again, and aim the guns at them at a distance of two hundred and eighty meters." ”

Zhang Qiang said: "Let them speed up the collection and surrender of the prisoners, Du Ge's fleet is about to come up, they actually use the seventy warships and warships of the Huaxia Navy fleet that captured us to chase us, so it won't take two hours, they will arrive, after controlling the remaining twenty warships and warships, let them leave here with these warships and warships, and let the five Huaxia warships go to help our auxiliary ships entangle the British, or destroy the British." Let's go help Perran. ”

After Kodak gave Zhang Qiang's order, he ordered the remaining twenty warships to sail towards the Spanish main fleet fifteen miles away.

He was not worried about the fate of the twelve auxiliary warships, the clippers and the five Huaxia, and he could still run if he couldn't beat them.
