China's shipbuilding technology, but after Zheng He went to the West, completely entered stagnation and even regression, so many years, there is not even any improvement, everything is built according to the old style, and even many shipbuilding technology, but also because of the forbidden sea, and gradually lost.

When the Spaniards first warships appeared in the Chinese sea, they already looked down on these Chinese sailing ships with hard sails, short hulls, and clumsy movements, so they gave all Chinese sailing ships the name of a Kron ship.

And these sea wolf Kron ships, in terms of appearance, are no different from the ships they commonly use by Chinese pirates, but they seem to be cleaner and neater, and the sails are mostly relatively new, which don't look like they are called Hanako, and he hasn't seen much else yet.

But Anthony still knew that the guns on these sea wolf ships were very different from other Chinese pirates, most of these sea wolf ships were loaded with Western-style guns similar to theirs, although the guns were not as heavy as theirs, but they were not weaker than the cannons on their ships in terms of range and accuracy, and even some of the cannons in the turret were superior to their naval guns in terms of range and accuracy, and they were also quite powerful.

Therefore, although most of these sea wolves' ships are some Kron ships, Anthony does not dare to despise them, because although their single-ship firepower is not strong, when so many ships are put together, the number of guns in the fleet is not necessarily less than that of his fleet, and when it comes to concentrated firepower, the power is definitely not small.

So Anthony immediately ordered that the fleet should be prepared for all responses, and once the war starts, we must find a way to fight for it, and the first one to face it, destroy as many enemy ships as possible, and break their will to fight, at this point, Anthony is still a little confident, because he thinks that these sailors in his fleet, although there are many scum, but the skills of the ship are still good, and these scum are more fierce, and when they fight, they are still very capable of fighting.

However, the Chinese pirates' Kron ships are clumsy, and the pirates are not very good at handling ships, let alone too good to cooperate, and the fleet battles are often flocked to the flock to beat up in groups, and if they can beat them, they will fight if they can, and if they can't turn around, they will run away, and there is not much organization at all.

Although the number of ships coming from the sea wolves this time is not small, but in Anthony's experience, even if they have good firepower, they are not the opponent of their Spanish fleet.

Anthony had fully anticipated the arrival of the sea wolf's fleet, and the strange Western-style dhow stationed here at the time broke out of their blockade and escaped from Chicken Coop Bay, so it was not surprising that they were going to ask for help, so it was not surprising to recruit their reinforcements.

To Anthony's surprise, the Chinese pirates came a little faster, much earlier than he expected.

But since he came, let's fight, this time Anthony met in Chicken Coop Bay with a broken head and blood, and the gray and slippery soldiers who were beaten were defeated, and now the enemy has come to a fleet, which is just enough for him to save some face, even if he can't beat this Chicken Coop Bay, but as long as he can defeat this enemy fleet and annihilate a large number of their ships and personnel, this can at least make up for his mistakes.

After going back, with this, he could at least find some excuses, so as not to end up too embarrassed, so he made up his mind that today no matter what, he would defeat this pirate fleet, even if it was to pay some losses, anyway, his losses were not small, as long as he defeated them and captured some of their prisoners, he could also negotiate with them at that time, and exchange the prisoners for the soldiers they had captured yesterday.

So Anthony ordered the fleet to be ready for battle and turned to meet the fleet of sea wolves.

However, there was one thing that worried him a little, and that was that through his binoculars, he found six more strange Western-style sloops of the kind he had seen before in the fleet of sea wolves.

These dhows are exactly the same as the Western-style sloops of the sea wolves I saw here the other day, with a very graceful linear shape, high speed, and agility, although the firepower is not comparable to that of their Galen, but it is beyond the firepower of ordinary Kron ships.

This kind of boat is very suitable for use in offshore waters, as a patrol ship or privateer is quite good, hit and fight, can not hit and run, compared to the heavy Galen or Clark sailboats, has a high flexibility and speed advantage, the sail operation of the ship is also very simple, the need for sailors is quite small, even if there are only a few people on board, you can also operate the boat to sail.

It was clear that the ships were not mixed up by the enemy among the Kron ships, but were breaking away from the main fleet and heading towards the wide water to their right.

As a veteran captain-turned-commander, Anthony had considerable experience in naval warfare and immediately saw what the enemy wanted to do.

This group of Chinese pirates was obviously not a common man, and they did not choose to integrate these Western-style dhows into the main fleet, which was a very wise thing to do, otherwise these ships would be mixed in with their Kron ships, and they would only be limited to their advantages and become ordinary gunboats.

And once they break away from the main fleet, if they are on the sidelines, their advantages can be fully exploited, becoming a sharp knife for the enemy, threatening their flanks at any time, and if they are not careful, they may be stabbed in the side by these ships.

In this way, Anthony has a bit of a headache, his fleet does not have an advantage in the number of ships, if he deals with these pirates swarming, he can still give full play to their firepower, but the other party does this, he has to keep an eye on the Western-style sloops on the side, unable to hit the fire to attack the opponent's main warship.

And there are only six big boats he can use, and the rest are just some speedboats, these speedboats are mainly to prevent the enemy's arsonist boats, the firepower is not strong, and it is okay to deal with the opponent's small arsonist boats, but if you want to use these small boats to deal with those Western-style dhows, I am afraid that it is not enough.

But he had no choice, he had a number of ships here, and if he drew out the big ships and put them on the flanks, and beware of the light sloops, I was afraid that the first mate would weaken his firepower, so that he could not achieve sufficient results soon.

So Anthony's mind spun rapidly, weighing the pros and cons in order to make the most correct decision, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to send an armed merchant ship, leading a few speedboats equipped with light guns, as a reserve, and put them on the flanks of the fleet, to watch out for the light sloops of the pirates.

So under his order, the armed merchant ship, which had been damaged more yesterday, was selected and placed on the flank of their fleet, and first went to lead a few speedboats to resist the enemy's light sloops, and buy some time for the main fleet to crush the main fleet of these Chinese pirates.

After making up their minds, the Spanish fleet began to change formation, and a small fleet was divided to meet the flying clippers.

The remaining few main warships rushed murderously against the main fleet of the sea wolves, and the gun windows on the Spanish warships were also opened, revealing the black holes in the gun bay.

Yu Xiaotian was also observing the enemy's movements all the time, and saw that the enemy's fleet began to change formation, so he immediately judged the opponent's battle plan.

He had to admit that the commander of the opposing fleet was indeed not stupid, and it was easy to see through his plans, but he was not too worried about this, because the number of ships on the other side was limited, and although it was the best option, they still underestimated the strength of the sloops.

To know the strong firepower of these flying clippers, I am afraid that these West banks could not have imagined, these flying clippers are currently the first batch of ships to eliminate all six-pounder guns, all ships, are equipped with 12-pounder guns, both bow and stern two long guns, as well as four 12-pounder short guns arranged on both sides, plus there are also light Franc cannons for anti-personnel on board, forming a relatively complete range of firepower.

The other party only sent a big boat that seemed to be damaged, with a few speedboats, and wanted to pack up a few flying speedboats, and it was estimated that they would not break their teeth, which would be strange.

What he actually wants is for these flying clippers to clean up those West Banks speedboats first, as long as they knock out their speedboats, then these West Banks people are equivalent to women who have been stripped of their clothes, and then they are waiting to be fucked!

Large ships that have lost the cover of small boats are very vulnerable to the sneak attack of small arsonist ships in the middle of a melee, especially in such a situation, when the sea wolf's fleet has an absolute numerical advantage, these large ships will be entangled and will fall into an extremely dangerous situation.

On the whole, the other party arranged it this way, although there was nothing wrong with it, but it was exactly what Yu Xiaotian wanted, because he knew the opponent, but the opponent didn't understand them, this is the mistake of the other party, if the other party is a fool in command of the battle today, if he doesn't get it right, he will hug their fleet together, in that case, he Yu Xiaotian is not easy to talk to them, and if he doesn't do it well, he will be broken out of his teeth.

"Command the fleet, line up in a column, and seize the upper hand! The boat is on its heels! Hide on the flanks of the big ship and stand by! Yu Xiaotian saw that the distance between the two sides began to close, and he was about to enter the battle distance, so he put down the binoculars and shouted to the herald beside him.

The herald immediately faithfully conveyed his order, and the upper dou on the mast, who was now also a signal soldier, immediately waved the order flag, and passed on the order of the filial piety.

The fleet immediately began to change its formation, one by one the ships of various types began to turn, sailed to the upwind position, and gradually arranged into a column formation, and the assault boats that accompanied the ship all sailed to the left side of the big ship, with the help of the big ship's figure, covering their figures.
