Then it was nearly a quarter of an hour, and the more than 20 warships of the Portuguese fleet in front were quickly destroyed, and only a few remained, and the heaven-class battleships and earth-class battleships behind were completely exposed, and they also suffered huge trauma, and several main battleships were sunk one after another!

Of course, this raid brought a heavier blow to the Western Fleet, nearly half an hour of fighting, more than 30 Western warships were directly sunk, and dozens of warships were also damaged.

Tropp and Blake and others were so popular that they constantly commanded warships to besiege Zheng Haotian's fleet, trying to encircle and annihilate them all in the waters of Dara Bay.

At the most critical moment, the main force of the First Fleet finally caught up, in order not to be discovered by the Western Fleet, the main force of the First Fleet has been driving behind Zheng Haotian's fleet, and Zheng Haotian opened a distance of more than 20 miles, so as to hide the tracks, the war began, the First Fleet began to rush at full speed, however, more than 20 miles away, if you want to advance quickly, it is not so easy, after nearly half an hour of rushing, finally arrived at a distance of less than five miles from the Western Fleet.

This time, Cha Xuan personally rushed over from the Malay Peninsula and sat in the First Fleet to meet Zheng Haotian.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The First Fleet directly joined the battle group and began to attack the most powerful front army of the Western Fleet, and now the front army of the Western Fleet has completed the U-turn and is outflanking Zheng Haotian's position, once the outflanking is in place, then Zheng Haotian's remaining 20 warships will be really dangerous.

Cha Xuan, who had been in battle for a long time, naturally understood this truth, and launched an attack on the Dutch fleet in front of him as soon as he made a move, and the shells smashed towards the Dutch fleet without being fatal, not only the Dutch fleet, but also the firepower of the English fleet was attracted by the main force of the First Fleet.

Another Ming fleet?

Trop hated so much that the roots of his teeth hurt, since he is here, then he will annihilate all of you, Lao Tzu would rather lose a thousand of himself today, and he must kill all of your eight hundred!

There is no way, now Troppe continues to win a battle to boost morale, and has suffered setbacks one after another, and the morale of the Western coalition army is becoming more and more sluggish, and if it continues like this, the morale of the army will collapse!

Troppe and Black commanded the fleet to fight with all their might, constantly fighting back, trying to encircle the First Fleet and annihilate it in one fell swoop!

The combat power of the two main forces was attracted, and finally gave Zheng Haotian a chance to get out, this time the raid, the purpose has been achieved, the Western Fleet has suffered heavy losses, then there is no need to fight with the other party anymore, continue to fight, and wait until the Western Fleet completes the encirclement, then the entire First Fleet will be in danger, after all, the difference between the combat strength of the enemy and us is too great, and it is definitely not the opponent of others!

"Order, retreat, immediately retreat to the northwest!"

As soon as Zheng Haotian gave an order, more than 20 warships began to retreat in the northwest direction, and under the cover of the First Fleet, they finally broke away from the battlefield and joined up with the First Fleet.

The entire fleet began to throw off the Western fleet and break through in the northwest direction with all its might.

Tlopp and the others are now completely red-eyed and want to run? There are no doors! The losses this time were too heavy, thirty or forty warships were sunk, and more than twenty warships suffered heavy losses, and they could not recover their combat strength in the short term, plus the Portuguese fleet also fell, one in and one out, the combat strength of the Western fleet was lost by nearly a quarter at once!

It's too painful, this loss is too painful, the opponent's fleet must be annihilated, otherwise, the Western fleet will no longer have absolute superiority in the East!

"Pass the order, all the battleships that were heavily damaged will stay in Dalawa Bay for emergency repair, and all the remaining warships will be reorganized and set out to pursue, even if they catch up with Malacca, this fleet will be annihilated!"

Trope roared frantically.

Similarly, Blake, Pixon, Phelock and others are already furious, no one thought that they would capsize in the gutter today, and they were calculated by the Portuguese, if they don't take revenge, it will become the biggest stain in everyone's lifelong naval warfare career, and it will not be washed away for a lifetime!

The entire fleet dispatched at least three hundred and fifty warships in the direction of the retreat of the First Fleet, and pursued them frantically!

You chase and flee, and above the Indian Ocean, the two fleets play a game of hide and seek.

In the whole five days, the two fleets fought each other more than four times on the sea, and there were casualties on each other, and the Westerners were completely beaten out of the real fire, even if they had been out for five days, they all clung to the First Fleet, that is, they wanted to eat the First Fleet in one bite.

In five days, the two sides ran from Dara Bay to the vicinity of Sibilu Island in one go!

"Damn bastards, they're still biting us!"

Zheng Hao shouted in a hurry.

"Afraid of what?"

Cha Xuan said coldly: "The order goes down, the fleet continues to retreat along the island chain of Sumatra to the north, do not entangle with them, it is best, they will always follow us back to Malacca, and then our three fleets will come out together and fight them to the death!" ”

The first fleet ran hard, behind, the Western fleet chased harder, more than 300 warships, such a desperate chase, the most speechless thing is that this Ming fleet is too slippery, the number of artillery is small, the weight of the flowering bomb is also light, the speed is a little faster than the main battleship of the Western fleet, even if it catches, their heaven-class battleships are also extremely strong firepower, a random shot, can suppress the frontmost Western warships, especially their tail guns, the effective range is as high as three miles, At a distance of three miles, the hit rate of the shells of Western warships was less than one percent, and they could not form an effective threat to the other side at all......

"Trup, are we going to keep the chase going? If you chase them like this, even if you catch them in Malacca, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch up with them......"

Pheloc whispered.

"Afraid of what? Pursue! ”

Trope gritted his teeth and shouted, "Even if we get to the Strait of Malacca, with the strong combat power of our fleet, we don't have to be afraid of the Ming fleet, as long as we block it, they will definitely die, now our attacks have been blocked one after another, and the losses are heavy, if in a short period of time, we can't turn the tide of the battle through victory, then under the low morale, we have no chance of winning, so, no matter what, we must encircle and annihilate the Ming fleet in front of us, we urgently need a victory to boost our morale!" ”

"Troppe is right,"

Blake shouted: "If we retreat to Dalawa Bay like this, it will be too great a blow to the soldiers, and there is no way out, we must also take down the fleet in front of us!" ”
