The whole battle lasted more than ten hours. From the beginning of the morning battle, artillery fire covered the entire sea until it darkened, and then continued into the night, with all the best efforts on both sides.

In the darkness, the two sides continued to fire with a little starlight on the surface of the sea, and they were still fighting each other. But the two sides began to suffer more injuries by mistake. However, at this moment, the artillery power of the mixed fleet of the Chinese Empire began to be revealed, and the warships of the British army in the line of fire were gradually surrounded and encroached. After late at night, except for a few warships that retreated and fled, almost all the British warships on the remaining firing line were sunk, because of the black light, even if they surrendered, they could no longer be seen, and they could only be bombarded by artillery until they sank.

The mixed fleet of the Chinese Empire did not pursue anymore and took the initiative to retreat back from the battlefield.

The battle lasted for more than ten hours during the day, and the results were gratifying. However, the melee on the last night caused the Chinese Empire to lose a lot, after all, it had no experience in this area, which led to the fact that when the warships bombarded the enemy ships in the melee, they also damaged a lot of friendly ships next to them, and even caused the sinking of a large cruiser, and more than 300 officers and men of the Indian Ocean Fleet were killed in the sea.

In this naval battle, the mixed fleet of the Chinese Empire, with the good cooperation between the ships of the Indian Ocean Fleet and the South Ocean Fleet, coupled with the power of the shells composed of Krupp artillery and TNT explosives, advanced weapons played a huge role, and the British expeditionary fleet suffered huge losses!

At dawn of the day, the Indian Ocean Fleet and the South Ocean Fleet made an inventory of the situation of their respective fleets.

In yesterday's naval battle, the Indian Ocean Fleet sank a total of 3 British battleships, including the flagships "Warrior" and "Talbot", 7 cruisers and heavy frigates, 5 other corvettes, three-masted gunboats and gunboats, and 7 logistical ships such as troop carriers and reconnaissance ships. The capture of 1 enemy ordinary battleship, 9 cruisers and frigates, and the damage of more than 20 enemy ships, this is still a relatively serious creation, and it is difficult to count the escape of enemy ships.

The Nanyang Fleet's record was even more impressive: it sank the two armored battleships "Royal Oak" and "Wangfu", the flagships of the two British subfleets, one of which was successfully attacked by a submarine using a tentacle mine, which blew the bilge of the "Royal Oak" into the water, while the other "Wangfu" was simply destroyed by the two ironclad ships "Dingyuan No. 4" and "Dingyuan No. 5" of the Nanyang Fleet, as well as one other battleship and two cruisers, with artillery piercing through the armored iron plate on one side and being sunk.

In this way, the flagships of the five sub-fleets of the entire British Chinese Fleet, except for the ordinary wooden battleship "Duke Wellington", the flagship of the 4th fleet, were injured and fled, and the remaining four flagships, including the general flagship "Warrior", were all sunk.

In addition to these two armored ships, the Nanyang Fleet took advantage of the fleet's firepower advantage to sink another 3 wooden battleships, 11 cruisers and frigates of various types, 13 three-masted gunboats and steam gunboats, and 17 troop carriers. The British captured 3 ordinary battleships, 7 cruisers and frigates, 4 gunboats, and damaged more than 30 enemy ships.

The result of this statistic made Tan Tiyuan scold his subordinates for being losers, can't they be captured by a good enemy warship, and they have to be sunk. Obviously, the South Ocean Fleet defeated a lot more enemy ships, but as a result, only a little more warships were captured than the Indian Ocean Fleet. However, Ding Ruchang explained that most of the sinking occurred during the night battle, because there was chaos at that time, and everyone was too busy with the battle to take care of the captured warships, so they simply sank them.

However, there are also many losses.

In terms of the Indian Ocean Fleet, the 6,480-ton displacement battleship "Dingyin II" purchased from France was sunk, and the wooden battleship with a displacement of 4,599 tons purchased from the Kingdom of Sardinia was also damaged and withdrew from the battle, in addition to nearly ten warships were seriously damaged, 8 cruisers and frigates of various sizes and gunboats were sunk, and more than 1,700 officers and men were killed.

And the South Sea Fleet suffered even more losses because of the fierce blows and rushes. 2 wooden battleships and 11 cruisers and gunboats were sunk, and 3 frigates were also about to be sunk, barely being dragged to the shore by two large troop carriers to see if they could be saved. Admiralty, it was the loss of more than 2,500 people.

Wei Jun and Tan Tiyuan did not know about the losses of the British navy soldiers, but they guessed that it should be more than 6,000. And that's not even counting the British soldiers who were killed and wounded on the British warships that fled.

Seeing that the sky was already dark, Wei Jun immediately gave the order to continue the battle.

At this time, the British Chinese Expeditionary Fleet, which was already nearly ten nautical miles away from the mixed fleet of the Chinese Empire, was in the process of rearing its fleet, and under the leadership of Vice Admiral Raglan, commander of the 4th Squadron on the "Duke of Wellington", slowly fled to the port of Calcutta in the northwest. There was no way, too many warships in the fleet were damaged, and many even lost most of their power, relying on other ships to drag them forward. In this way, the speed of sailing was reduced a lot, and because of this, at noon, more than 50 main warships of the mixed fleet of the Chinese Empire were full of sails and full steam engines, and finally caught up with the slow British fleet.

At this time, the British expeditionary fleet to China lost more than 75 warships because of yesterday's defeat, and 62 warships were seriously damaged, of which 23 could barely continue to participate in the war after overnight repair, but the other nearly 40 warships could not continue to fight and urgently needed to be repaired in port.

Moreover, because the commander of the fleet, Admiral Hope, was also killed in the naval battle, the top general of the entire fleet became Vice Admiral Raglan, and naturally, he took over the command of the remnants of the fleet. But he was old, plain and timid, which is why he was able to get out of the way when several of his other flagships were sunk.

As a result, the morale of the entire fleet was extremely low, and the captains of many other sub-fleets did not listen much to his command. Under these circumstances, the fleet of the Chinese Empire pursued again, and the command and general layers of the British Chinese fleet were divided.

Vice Admiral Raglan, the commander, believed that the British expeditionary fleet had been defeated and that the British Empire was about to enter a low ebb, and at this moment, as the admiral of the British Empire, the most important thing was to preserve some strength for the British Empire.

Another group of generals, Rear Admiral York, deputy chief of staff of the expeditionary fleet, believed that the British expeditionary fleet still had nearly 75 warships to fight, more than the more than the more than 50 warships that had been chased. The British Royal Navy must not abandon its comrades and become that shameful deserter and coward.

The two sides fell out suddenly. At this most urgent juncture, there was a clear disagreement. Vice Admiral Raglan led nearly 20 warships, almost the largest tonnage in the fleet, and sailed straight towards the port of Calcutta, while the remaining nearly 100 warships, led by a few rear admirals, launched a counterattack against the mixed fleet of the Chinese Empire that had intercepted it.

This outcome is actually doomed. Yesterday's more powerful British fleet was defeated by the mixed fleet of the Chinese Empire, not to mention that less than 60 of the more than 90 warships of the present day can actually participate in the battle.

After three hours of fierce naval battle, more than 90 warships of the British army lost more than 20 again, and only 35 warships were left that could fight, and there were 42 damaged warships that had completely become targets and sailed slowly.

However, Wei Jun, a madman, directly after the British fleet gave the signal to surrender the white flag, still ordered inhumane shelling, until each of the remaining British warships stopped shelling and hoisted the white flag.

At this point, the Sino-British naval battle in the northeastern corner of the Bay of Bengal ended with the complete defeat of the British Chinese fleet. This naval battle, which affected the entire world situation in the future, is destined to go down in history.
