The Viceroy of India, who had been at sea for many years, guessed at the first time that it was a large fleet. Far larger than his fleet, but the Indian governor was not frightened by this!

Because today, with the development of firearms, victory or defeat at sea is not determined by the number of warships! This Indian governor once led three warships to defeat a huge fleet of hundreds of warships! Because those fleets are very backward.

But thinking that there was no news of the seven warships he sent out, it was obvious that Daming's fleet would not be so backward, but India felt that Daming's fleet could not be compared with its own warships.

So the Viceroy of India fearlessly greeted him with thirty warships, but as he slowly approached, the Viceroy of India suddenly felt a little ridiculous, because the first thing he saw was a galleon from their Kingdom of Portugal!

It was the warships he had sent, and now they were heading towards him, and for a moment the Viceroy of India had the illusion that it was Raphael leading a fleet to welcome him as a viceroy.

But soon he denied it, because there was a huge fleet of ships behind him! It was definitely not Raphael leading the fleet to welcome him.

It is impossible for Raphael to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, so there is only one possibility, that is, Raphael was defeated, and these ships sent by himself were captured!

Thinking of this Indian governor's heart, he couldn't help but curse Raphael, a fool, for leading eight warships and letting Da Ming be captured! How did you believe this idiot!

The reason why the Indian governor was so angry was because he knew the power of his warships, since these warships were captured by the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the combat power of the Ming Dynasty's own warships, just these galleons would cause trouble for their fleet.

If he defeated these galleons that were once his own, he would inevitably bring casualties to his fleet, and if he lost those eight ships, the ships he brought would be damaged again, which was simply an unbearable loss for him!

Moreover, the real combat power of Da Ming's warships is not yet known, and Da Ming can capture Raphael's eight warships, presumably the combat power will not be too bad! Thinking of this, the Indian governor couldn't help but curse again, Raphael, this idiot, even if he is defeated by the Ming fleet, he can escape! All eight warships were lost, and they were simply sinners of the Kingdom of Great Portugal!

Zhang Zhijie's fleet had already spotted the Portuguese fleet in the distance, Zhang Zhijie's fleet began to slow down slowly, while Feng Haisheng's fleet gradually turned into a crescent moon formation to meet it.

Feng Haisheng's face also became very solemn, in the past, they had always heard from Lord Admiral that the Westerners' warships were very powerful, and they were very unconvinced.

Last time, the Admiral took them to Guangdong, and they originally wanted to see how powerful the Westerners' warships were, but the Westerners were directly frightened by the huge fleet of the Ming Dynasty and surrendered.

This made them a little regretful, so they also felt that the Westerners' warships were a little unworthy of the name. But after going back to train these Westerners' warships, they realized that these Westerners' warships were indeed powerful!

The most powerful thing is that the Westerners' warships carry more artillery than the Ming warships, and you must know that the warships are not able to install artillery at will, because they have to withstand the huge tremor generated when the guns are fired.

Therefore, Feng Haisheng and the others also put away their contempt for Western warships, and attached great importance to this battle against the Portuguese fleet! Although his own warships are weaker than those of the Westerners, the gap is not huge.

Moreover, Feng Haisheng led fifty warships to meet the battle, and he understood that the Admiral led fifty warships to the battle without directly participating in the battle, just to test the combat strength of the fleet. So this battle must be fought beautifully! We must not disappoint the expectations and efforts of the Admiral.

In the face of the fierce attack of the Daming fleet, the Indian governor ordered to change the formation to meet the battle with a heavy face, and at the same time he also found that the Daming fleet was actually divided into two arrays. One of the arrays rushed towards him, and the other came to a halt in the distant sea.

The Viceroy of India knew only a cursory of about fifty ships in the oncoming convoy, and fifty ships anchored on the sea.

Although I don't understand why those fifty warships didn't participate in the war, it is obvious that the other party thinks that these fifty warships alone are enough! The Viceroy of India did not feel that the other side was arrogant because of this!

Because the other party has already seen the warships of their Portuguese kingdom, and captured eight warships and took them for themselves, they must already have a certain understanding of warships! In such a situation, they still did not participate in the battle, apparently they really thought that these fifty warships were enough to cope with their own fleet!

The Governor of India already felt a dilemma in his heart, and his face was very solemn, but he did not back down because of this. He has been on the sea for many years, and has encountered countless difficulties, but he has always overcome them! Because he was a good general, an excellent commander at sea.

The two fleets gradually approached, Zhang Zhijie watched from the sea in the distance, and it was impossible to say that there was no tension in his heart. After all, he invested a lot of energy in the water division, and the rise of the water division carried his dreams.

If the fifty warships he formed were to be defeated against the thirty Spanish warships, it would be a really big blow to Zhang Zhijie!

Zhang Zhijie held the telescope with a solemn face and kept observing the situation ahead, and the roaring artillery suddenly rang out, and the two fleets finally exchanged fire.

The artillery roared in unison, the fire shone in the distance, and Zhang Zhijie's hand holding the telescope tensed for a moment. Not only the magnolia beside Zhang Zhijie, but they also had very solemn faces, and the people on the boat didn't dare to breathe, and they all stared closely at the sea in the distance.

Everyone's hands were clenched tightly, their hearts were like a string, they were not onlookers, they were always ready, once their comrades were at a disadvantage, as long as the Admiral gave an order, they would rush forward.

Zhang Zhijie, who had been paying attention to the battlefield, suddenly sank in his heart, because he saw that several warships had been shot one after another, and the hull of the ship had begun to tilt, and it was slowly retreating, exiting the station.

Zhang Zhijie's face became more and more solemn, and he used fifty warships to meet thirty Portuguese warships, and three warships lost their combat power in the first battle.

The flotilla with superior forces and the help of the geographical advantage was actually at a disadvantage, and Zhang Zhijie's heart suddenly became heavy.

Bai Yulan said in a deep voice with a heavy face: "My lord, our fleet is at a disadvantage, should we rush up?" ”
