No sooner had they left the English Channel than the English fleet spotted a large fleet and was speeding in its direction.

Fleet Commander Trafford, who found the clue, was taken aback, now the distance is too far, and it is not clear which country's fleet it is, but such a large fleet can only be owned by England and the Dutch, as for now, hundreds of warships have been transferred to the East to expedition to the Ming Empire, and no Western country still has such strength!

"Pass the order, the fleet is ready for battle!"

Trafford shouted.

The whole fleet got the order and began to act, in the face of such a huge fleet, Trafford did not dare to be careless, however, he never thought that it was the fleet of the Ming Empire that ran to the Western Ocean, after all, England had just received the news that a Ming fleet, with almost two hundred warships, was plundering and grabbing territory in North America, how could it be possible to come to the Western Ocean so quickly? Moreover, now the Western Combined Fleet is on an expedition to the Ming Empire, even if there is a fleet in the Ming Empire, it is impossible to cross the Indian Ocean and come to the Western Ocean!

After only a moment, Trafford's body suddenly trembled, Maiga's! It turned out to be really the fleet of the Ming Empire, the Yellow Dragon Flag and the Sun and Moon Flag of the Ming Empire were flying high, and the shape of the battleship was very different from that of Western warships. Appearing on the edge of the English Channel, impossible, absolutely impossible!

Trafford roared hysterically in his heart, but the battleship can deceive people, but the flag will definitely not deceive people, even if the Western Combined Fleet returns, it is impossible to hang the flag of the Ming Empire......

"Quick, prepare for battle, prepare for battle, it's the fleet of the Ming Empire, come here, immediately go to Le Lavre, and urgently ask for help from the French fleet, just say that the main fleet of the Ming Empire will raid the Western Ocean, quickly, immediately send a message, and ask for support from the French fleet!"

Trafford roared, a warship, suddenly turned around, heading to the southeast, originally, the Ming fleet was coming to Le Ravel, and now it is less than two hundred miles away from Le Ravel, but I don't want to, it is on the edge of the English Channel, and the English fleet collided head-on, it is really providential, as for the English fleet, it feels like God is playing with himself, specially, we are going to North America to fight with the main fleet of the Ming Dynasty, and we have not left the Western Ocean, but we have collided head-on with the main fleet of the Ming Empire, isn't this fatal, is it true that the Ming Empire invaded the Americas!

Xu Yifan naturally also discovered the English fleet, since leaving Porto, the Ming fleet has entered a state of human combat readiness, all the gun doors are even open, and the shells are piled up next to the artillery, and the English fleet is discovered, Xu Yifan is also a stunned god, how to do it, I just want to deal with France first, in dealing with England, I didn't expect that it was trapped in the English fleet, this is terrible, you must know that the French fleet is in Le Lavre, if the French fleet gets the news, If the English fleet rushes to the rescue, this naval battle will not be easy......

"Lao Cha, pass the order, the whole army is ready to fight, and strive to defeat the England fleet in front of me in the shortest possible time, even the three super battleships will be pressed on me, attack with all your strength, and leave no hands behind, we must hit the English fleet hard, and beat them to the point that they lose the strength to fight again!" The main battleship is behind, hit with artillery, the auxiliary battleship rushes forward, the rocket artillery is on the same page, close to the fight, we want to burn the English fleet! ”

Xu Yifan shouted, Cha Xuan personally climbed the mast, shook the signal flag in his hand, and began to command the fleet to change formation and rush towards the English fleet.

The two fleets were moving in opposite directions, and the distance of more than twenty miles, that is, only twenty minutes, was already less than five miles apart......

The Ming fleet adopts a double-horizontal team battle book, the auxiliary battleships are separated from the main battleships, one team is inside, one pair is outside, the formation is very strange, there has never been such a formation, Trafford is dizzy, what is this? The distance in the outer fleet is more than two miles, and the artillery is not allowed at all, as for the warships inside, they are all auxiliary warships, the largest is only 600 tons of displacement, the volume is limited, and the number of artillery is also limited, in the face of the attack of their main fleet, it is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of the English fleet, okay, the English fleet, now there are close to two hundred warships, even if the number is not as good as the Ming fleet, but defeat the auxiliary warfleet on the inside, It's still a breeze, just being broken by yourself!

The Ming fleet is dying......

"Order, the fleet is close to their inner fleet, and is fully prepared to attack!"

With the order of their respective commanders, the two fleets began to approach rapidly, passing by, forming three parallel lines, and the English fleet was one mile away from the inner fleet of the Ming Empire, and more than two miles away from the outer fleet, completing all the preparations before the battle.

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

The artillery of both sides rang out almost at the same time, the battleships of the English fleet lined up, at least a distance of more than ten miles, more than two thousand guns were put into the battle at the same time, and one shell roared towards the fleet of the Ming Empire, almost at the same time, the battleships of the Ming fleet also fired, and more than two thousand guns began to attack, in addition to artillery, there were more than a thousand rockets, which were also put into battle!

The English fleet suffered a big loss as soon as it came up, the sky was full of shells and rockets, the number of shells and rockets was much more than that of the English fleet, and the hit rate was a cut higher than that of England, a mile away, the artillery hit rate of the English fleet could reach three percent, even if it was good, but the overall hit rate of the Ming fleet exceeded five percent, although the rocket hit rate was low, but its arson attribute determined, even if it was only one percent or even two percent of the hit rate, It will definitely pose a huge threat to the battleship as well!

The most terrible thing is that Trafford completely ignores the threat of the main battleships on the outside, in his opinion, the artillery bombardment of the main battleships of the Ming Dynasty two miles away has no crosshairs at all, and there is no need to care at all, who would have imagined that two miles away, the main battleships still maintain a super high hit rate, which is still more than the artillery hit rate of the English fleet, and even the powerful flowering cannons!

One shell after another fell on the battleships of the English fleet, and as the explosion sounded, a ball of flames rose into the air, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the unlucky English battleship was directly torn apart by the flowering cannon and sank into the sea!
