Chapter 1652: Naval Battle in the Indian Ocean (2)
Now in the Indian Ocean, the war between the East and the West is like a game of Go, the Western Fleet is a big dragon, and what the Ming fleet has to do now is to eat this big dragon in one go!
Xu Yifan is not very proficient in the tactics of the naval fleet, but all battles are the same, there will not be much difference, especially in this era, the basic strategy and tactics, regardless of the navy and army, have something in common, Xu Yifan's judgment and response to the war situation, looking at the world, few people can surpass him, he is a real generation of famous generals!
The second fleet blocked the dragon's head, the third fleet stepped forward, breaking the connection between the dragon's body and the dragon's tail, and the first fleet turned back to fight, just aiming at the severed dragon's tail.
Almost at the same time, the First Fleet and the Third Fleet launched a flank attack towards the rear of the Western Fleet, two hundred warships, more than 2,000 guns were put into the battle at the same time, and one shell fired at the rearmost Spanish fleet, where could the Spanish fleet parry the flank attack of the two fleets, it was impossible to parry in just a few minutes!
"Quick, quick, immediately ask for reinforcements from the French fleet ahead, ask for reinforcements!"
The chief of staff of the fleet, Bosque, roared wildly.
However, at this time, the flaws of the Western Fleet were completely exposed, the Four-Nation Alliance, after all, is not a country's fleet, and the tacit understanding between each other is not very sufficient, not to mention that now the four-nation fleet is already facing the catastrophe, the Western Fleet needs to adjust its course, and then shake off the Ming Fleet's pincer, once it is surrounded, then even if it is not dead, it has to shed its skin, at this time, self-protection is the best, and if you can't help your allies, you can put your own fleet in, Pixon is not so stupid, Once the reinforcement is returned, unless the entire fleet turns back and fights to the death, otherwise, the battleships behind are afraid that they will be finished, and this risk is too great!
No one dares to guarantee the ticket, and the English and Dutch fleets in front will definitely come back to help......
Anyway, it's a dead friend, not a dead and poor man, now is not the time to care about the life or death of the Spaniards, first ensure their own safety, and even the several French warships intercepted by the Ming fleet can't take care of it, and they must get rid of the huge disadvantage of the Western fleet in the shortest possible time!
With the Dutch fleet as the lead, the main force of the Western Fleet swooped in the southwest direction, trying to shake off the Second Fleet and rush out of the battlefield, the Second Fleet, Zheng Cai is not stupid, and the Western Fleet is fighting hard, that designated can't beat others, the Second Fleet is only more than 100 warships, but the fleets of the three countries in front of you are combined, there are nearly 300 warships, more than twice as many as yourself!
Zheng Cai turned his fleet at the Western Fleet, opened full firepower, and constantly fired at the Dutch fleet, making every effort to prevent the Western Fleet from escaping, not seeking to defeat the enemy, as long as it can entangle the opponent, it depends on the speed of the First Fleet and the Third Fleet to kill the Spanish fleet!
The Spanish fleet is already in danger under the siege of the First Fleet and the Third Fleet, especially the First Fleet, which is the trump card combat power of the Ming Fleet, with the largest number of sky-class warships and ground-class warships, and two super warships.
Countless flowering shells continued to attack the Spanish fleet, one shell after another detonated on the battleship, blowing the Spanish battleship apart, in just a quarter of an hour, dozens of the Spanish fleet had sunk to the bottom of the sea, and the rest of the battleships were also on fire, and there were fires everywhere, even if the Spaniards wanted to extinguish the fire, it was too late!
Bosque is going crazy now, damn the Dutch, the English, the French, if you don't save you, God will let you go to hell!
Of course, Bosque is going crazy, the fleet commander Falloc is already going crazy, he is still on the flagship of the Dutch fleet, watching his fleet under the siege of the Ming army, being beaten to the ground, one after another battleships sinking to the bottom of the sea, Fallok scolded, angrily scolded the French for not being righteous, but what is the use of scolding at this time? I can't do it in a hurry!
"Trope, Admiral Troppe, we are allies, do you really want to let the Spanish fleet fall here?"
Pheloc roared.
"Philok, you should have seen it, I have already issued an order to the French fleet to return to the army, but they don't listen to the order now, what can I do?"
Trope didn't have a good airway.
"General Tlope, please, please, come back for help, only if you lead the army back for help, the French will come back for help! Otherwise, the Spanish fleet will really be finished......"
Instead of roaring, Feloc is now begging, even if it is to make him kneel, as long as Tropken comes to help!
"Philok, you have to understand, it's not that I don't want to save it, it's that we don't have a chance, now the French are caught between the Anglo-Dutch and the Spanish fleet, if they don't rescue, we don't have the slightest way, do we have to make a detour again to rush to the aid of the Spanish fleet? Not to mention that it is too late, even if it is too late, we can't take the risk, once we turn around, we will be completely surrounded by the three fleets of the Ming army, and when the time comes, we will all die without a place to bury! Now the only chance is to break through the blockage of the Ming fleet in front of you, and then attack their due south fleet from the south, and pick up your fleet, as for whether it can be picked up, it depends on the creation of the Spanish fleet, I hope they can support it......"
Tlope is also full of helplessness now, and if he returns to help, then this battle is really doomed! If you get rid of the entanglement of the fleet in front of you, successfully get rid of the opponent, and fight again with the whole army, maybe there will be a chance to turn the tables, at this time, you must not be soft-hearted!
Philok collapsed directly on the deck, it's over, it's over, with the strength of Daming's two powerful fleets, it can completely crush the Spanish fleet, and when the fleet in front turns back, where is it too late? The daylilies are all cold......
In the east, there is still a bloody battle!
The Spanish fleet dispatched 80 warships, and in the Malacca and Java Isthmus, it lost more than a dozen large and small warships, and there were still 60 or 70 left, but under the siege of nearly 300 warships of the First Fleet and the Second Fleet, it was completely destroyed before even the white flag of surrender could be raised!
