When William received the news that British reinforcements were about to arrive, the Taiping army intercepted the same information.

In the face of this situation, Huang Xu and others, of course, could not let the British army get their wish, they immediately planned, and finally thought that since there were reinforcements coming, let their meat buns be sent to the door, and there would be no return.

Therefore, Huang Xu consulted with the generals and strategists to prepare to suspend the attack on New Delhi and deal with the British reinforcements at sea first.

Therefore, the Taiping army's offensive came to an abrupt end, and the Taiping army, which was still desperately attacking just now, turned around and retreated from the city of New Delhi like a tide, temporarily giving up the attack on New Delhi.

Huang Xu and others need to concentrate on solving the problem of British reinforcements first, this is the trouble in their hearts, and the British and Indian troops in New Delhi are just a disease of ringworm, as long as the reinforcements are solved, the British and Indian troops in the city will lose their last hope, and they will no longer have the strength to fight, and the Taiping army will no longer have to work hard to solve them.

Therefore, it is imperative to solve the reinforcements at sea first.

And to deal with the reinforcements coming from the sea, it is necessary to use the navy.

The invincible team of the Taiping army was at sea at this time, and Huang Xu entrusted them with this glorious task.

The two major leaders of the navy, Li Hongzhang and Luo Bingzhang, also relieved their staff work at hand at this time, once again shouldered the responsibility of commanding the navy in combat, and prepared to meet the British troops who came to help.

This is definitely a heavy test for the invincible team.

At this time, the British Navy was like the sky, it was an invincible division that crisscrossed the world's seas, an indisputable maritime hegemon, and compared with the invincible armada of the Taiping Army, it could only be regarded as a rising star.

This is a war between the hegemon and the rising star who has dominated for many years, and whoever wins, will become the new king of the seas.

So. This battle is a crucial battle for both sides, no matter who they are, they don't want to lose, they all want to win this battle.

The British fleet that rushed to the aid this time was the British Royal Navy Task Force stationed in the East and one of the most powerful fleets of the British Navy, the Atlantic Fleet, which was being trained in the East.

The Royal Navy Task Force and the Great Western Fleet were the support force of almost half of the British Navy. They have the most advanced destroyers, frigates, transports and various auxiliary ships in the world, and they have new methods of warfare that lead the world trend, and what makes the British even more proud is that they have a comprehensive quality that far exceeds that of other countries in the world.

It is precisely because of these absolute advantages that this has created an invincible and powerful army.

To this day, there is still no one to challenge their position, and the strength of the British Navy is definitely obvious to all.

And the invincible team of the Taiping Army is not bad.

Tongguò constantly improves the level of shipbuilding and introduces advanced technology and talents. The strength possessed by the Invincible Fleet and all the equipment it is equipped with have already caught up with the world's advanced level, especially after the two wars with Japan and Nanyang, they have accumulated rich combat experience, and their overall strength has reached a new level.

On the whole, the overall strength of the Invincible Armada is also not to be underestimated.

However, the Taiping Armada also had its own weaknesses, which also had inherent shortcomings. That is the lack of combat experience, and this can only be compensated for by the constant fighting.

Especially to fight against strong opponents. In this way, we can continue to improve and improve.

Now, they're facing their biggest challenge since their inception.

They want to challenge the world hegemon at sea, the most powerful navy in the world today, the British Royal Navy.

For the Taiping Armada, this was a challenge. But it's also an opportunity.

Moreover, the opportunity is rare, such an opportunity is not encountered very often, and perhaps in a lifetime, there are only one or two opportunities.

So. This time, the invincible team was both nervous and excited.

Moreover, the battle between these two fleets can also be seen as a battle between two of the most powerful fleets in the world today, and they represent the highest level of combat in the Navy.

Of course, this is also a battle that no one can afford to lose.

If the British Navy loses, then they will not only give up the position of hegemon, but also completely lose India, the most important colony in the East, and Britain will no longer become an empire on which the sun never sets, perhaps this war will not only drop the position of the British Navy as the hegemon, but also will make the entire British Empire lose its glory as an empire on which the sun never sets, of course, whether it will be sluggish, it is difficult to say, but at least, he will fall off the altar.

So, the British Navy could not afford to lose.

And the Taiping Armada could not afford to lose.

If the Armada wins, it will not only end the battle of India perfectly, but also achieve a new overlordship, which is also one step closer to Huang Xu's ultimate goal.

Therefore, the Taiping Armada could not lose either.

Both sides are full of strength and are ready to give each other a head-on blow.

After Li Hongzhang discussed with Luo Bingzhang and reported to Huang Xu for preparation, in response to the reinforcements of the British Navy, the Taiping Invincible Fleet prepared to fight an ambush outside the port of New Delhi.

Encounters, the Armada is not sure to fight, and now it is not suitable for encounters with the British Navy, but ambush wars, the Armada at least has a certain chance of winning.

Therefore, ambush warfare is the most preferred option for the Armada.

With a strategy in mind, the Taiping Armada quietly infiltrated the harbor of New Delhi and set up an ambush, waiting for the British fleet to fall into their pockets.

Although the Taiping Invincible Armada seized the opportunity, Li Hongzhang and Luo Bingzhang were still a little uneasy in their hearts, and Huang Xu and others who were far away outside New Delhi were also very worried.

After all, the way of fighting this time was different from the past, and the opponents they encountered were also different from the past, and the Taiping Armada was not sure of victory, and it was more likely to suffer defeat.

And while the Invincible Armada of the Taiping Army was in full swing, the large formation of the British Navy had also approached the port of New Delhi.

The British navy has always been arrogant, although they had detected the existence of the Taiping Armada in advance, and knew that the Taiping Army also had such a powerful fleet, but they still did not take the Armada seriously.

The British Navy had never heard of such a fleet before, they felt that the Taiping Invincible Fleet was a bird that had not yet grown its feathers, and there was nothing to worry about, as long as the Royal Navy arrived, such a fleet would be wiped out in the snap of a finger, and such a fleet could not be the opponent of the Royal Navy at all.

The British Navy had such self-confidence.

Therefore, they did not take the ambush of the Armada seriously at all, or even if they knew that there was an ambush, they would have done it, because in their eyes, such an ambush was child's play.

The British Navy has always been invincible, and there is nothing to fear.

As a result, the British Navy broke into the ambush circle of the Armada without any scruples.

It's just arrogant and boundless.

And Li Hongzhang and his invincible fleet were secretly happy when they saw this, what they hoped to see was such a British navy, as long as they were crazy, there must be a time for them to cry.

In this way, the British Navy came fearlessly, and the Taiping Armada was ready for battle.

The war is on the verge of breaking out again. (To be continued......)
