Chapter 1651: Battle in the Indian Ocean (1)

Continuing the pursuit, the Western Fleet once again pursued forward for a day, chasing out a distance of nearly 500 miles, at this time, it had already crossed the Sibilu Island and the Batu Islands, and came to the northern tip of Nias Island, the First Fleet continued to move forward, and the Western Fleet continued to pursue relentlessly.

However, the Western Fleet did not notice that there was a huge fleet hidden behind the narrow peninsula at the northern tip of Nias Island, yes, a huge fleet, a huge fleet of two or three hundred warships!

The First Fleet and the Western Fleet passed by the beach on the west side of Nias Island, less than five miles away from the beach, but the Western Fleet did not find the fleet hidden behind the northern peninsula, which was undulating in the mountains, although not too high, but at least fifty or sixty meters, completely covering the size of the battleship.

However, the Western Fleet did not find the fleet hidden behind Nias Island, but the sentries arranged by the fleet on Nias Island clearly watched the First Fleet and the Western Fleet cross the northernmost point of Nias Island one after another, and continue to break north!

"Quick, Zheng Yuan, immediately raise the military flag and send a signal to the fleet in the bay, the Western Fleet has passed and is in hot pursuit of our First Fleet!"

Dusi Zheng Mingtang shouted urgently.

The First Fleet and the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet left their respective stations, with only one day apart, and it took more than two days to rush from Borneo to the Strait of Malacca, that is, when the First Fleet and the Western Fleet launched a major war, the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet had already come to the waters near Nias Island under the personal leadership of Xu Yifan.

Xu Yifan has been waiting in the Nias Sea for five days, just waiting for the First Fleet to lure the Western Fleet up, Xu Yifan just wants to finish his work in one battle, and completely win the first battle!

Xu Yifan sat on the flagship of the Second Fleet, accompanied by Zheng Cai and Yang Geng, waiting for news from the island.

"Ministry-sama, ministry-sama! Zheng Dusi sent a signal on the island that the First Fleet and the Western Fleet had rushed through Nias Island! ”

The sentry on the mast shouted!

Xu Yifan stood up and shouted: "Yugong, immediately order, the fleet will be dispatched immediately, go around Nias Island, intercept the Western fleet from behind, and prepare for a decisive battle!" ”

The two fleets set sail and fought their way out of the island!

By the time the two fleets rushed out of the island, the Western Fleet had just crossed the northernmost point of Nias Island seven or eight miles away, and the two fleets chased after the Western Fleet from behind, one left and one right!

At this time, if the Western Fleet can't see the main force of the Ming Fleet, it will really be blind!

"Generals, generals, generals, no, we, a large fleet suddenly appeared behind us, a large fleet appeared, at least two or three hundred warships......"

Above the flagship, the soldiers on the mast shouted at Klopp!

"What? A large fleet behind it? ”

Klopp was shocked, and hurriedly climbed the mast with Black to look south, and sure enough, a huge fleet appeared in view!

"Bastards, damn bastards! What the fuck did you do earlier, there is such a huge fleet behind you, you just found out! ”

Troppe was furious and kicked the sentry to the ground, damn it, when did this fleet appear, he didn't even notice it!

"Trope, we can't move forward, we must turn around immediately and prepare to fight, otherwise we will be followed and pursued by the Ming fleet, their artillery has a long range, and we will suffer a big loss!"

Blake snapped.

"Order, the fleet immediately turns around and prepares for battle!"

Trop naturally understands that the situation is not good, there is a Ming army fleet in front, and now there is an even larger Ming army fleet behind it, I am afraid that all the warships of the entire Ming Empire have been gathered here, and now the strength of the Ming army's fleet is not weaker than its own at all, and it is extremely passive to attack before and after!

"Order, the fleet is immediately mobilized, don't fall in love with the war, first get rid of the fleet of the Ming army!"

Pheloc shouted urgently, it is obvious that at this time, it must not be hard-hitting, otherwise, the Western Fleet will definitely suffer a big loss!

The Western Fleet drew a huge arc above the ocean and began to prepare for a U-turn.

But the Ming fleet chased too fiercely, the distance between the two was less than ten miles, and it would take time for such a huge fleet to complete the U-turn, where would Xu Yifan give the Western fleet a chance to calmly respond to the battle?

"Send an order to the Second Fleet, gallop in the northwest direction, resist the advance of the Western Fleet, and don't let them stand out, and the Third Fleet, rush towards the hinterland of the Western Fleet, and prepare to attack the tail of the Western Fleet with the First Fleet!"

Xu Yifan shouted in a deep voice, the two fleets began to deploy with the swing of the flag, and almost at the same time, the first fleet, which had discovered the clues, also began to stop retreating northward, and it was at this moment that the bolt was waiting, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the fleet.

He knows Xu Yifan too well, and knows that Xu Yifan will either not make a move, as long as he makes a move, he will eat the opponent to death, and he will definitely kill the Western Fleet at an unexpected moment.

The three fleets, from three directions, formed a huge encirclement of the Western fleet, and the Western fleet had just turned the column into a horizontal formation, and before it had time to continue to turn around, the attack of the Ming fleet had already begun!

The Third Fleet, which rushed to the forefront, was the first to strike, and all the main battleships were thrown into the battle, and one shell after another smashed down on the Western Fleet with a huge whistling sound!

The Spanish fleet at the back of the Western Fleet was unlucky, originally Philok fought hard and let his fleet hang behind, just to preserve the strength of the Spanish fleet, but now it has become the target of the Ming fleet's first attack, and it can't even think about fighting, it really lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot!

The Spanish fleet had no choice but to fight, but now the distance between the two sides is still two or three miles, above this distance, the artillery crosshairs of the Spanish fleet are too low, and one shell falls into the water, it is too difficult to hit the opponent, compared with the flowering artillery of the Ming fleet, the Spanish fleet has undoubtedly suffered a big loss!

The Third Fleet, which was the first to strike, hit the ships of the Spanish fleet with shells one after another, and the Spanish fleet was beaten to the ground.
