Chapter 1653: Naval Battle in the Indian Ocean (3)
The Spaniards were so unlucky, as soon as the First Fleet and the Third Fleet came up, they were full of firepower, which caught the Spaniards off guard, and most importantly, just after three rounds of shelling, the main battleship where the unlucky Bosque was located was directly sunk by the Ming army!
Even if it is a bullish flagship, it can't withstand the bombardment of countless flowering shells, more than a dozen shells directly hit the flagship vital parts, it is difficult to think of not sinking, the remaining Spanish battleships lost their command, and the battle was even more chaotic, completely ravaged by the Ming fleet on the ground casually, and there was no chance to surrender even with a white flag!
In a chaotic battle, less than ten warships of the Spanish fleet broke out of the encirclement and ran out, and the rest were all buried in the battle, and the Spanish fleet could be said to be completely wiped out!
Annihilated the Spanish fleet, Xu Yifan and Cha Zhu did not pause at all, and followed the direction of the Western Fleet's breakthrough and bit up towards the French Fleet behind!
The Spanish fleet was also panicked, originally thought that the Spanish fleet could withstand an hour or two, but I didn't expect it, just over half an hour, the Spanish fleet completely collapsed, the Dutch fleet in front has not broken through the entanglement of the first fleet, unless they break away from the team, otherwise they can only fight hard, but out of the team, it means to face the attack of the Ming army alone, in that case, I am afraid it will be more difficult!
"The fleet is all put into battle, resist the attack of the Ming fleet, and at the same time contain the Ming fleet, send an order to Trop, if the Dutch fleet and the English fleet do not rush to help, then under the heavy pressure, Lao Tzu will directly surrender to the Ming army, let them immediately send the fleet back to help, or directly fight to the death with the Ming army!"
Pixon shouted.
Pixon also knew that he had just gone too far, and he didn't care about the life or death of the Spaniards, and now he was asking the Dutch and the English for help, would they take care of him? It's hard to say, now there is only a threat to Troppe, either you come back to help, or Lao Tzu will surrender, two paths, you choose!
At the forefront, Trope, who got the news, was so angry that he almost turned his back on it, this Pixon is so shameless, he threatens himself like this!
"Damn bastards! Shameless, shameless! ”
Troppe roared angrily, but no matter how angry you are, how unwilling you are, you must send a fleet back now, otherwise, if the madman in Pixon really surrendered directly to the Ming army, then the Western coalition army was completely divided, first Portugal was destroyed, and then Spain was almost destroyed, leaving Britain, France and the Netherlands, if the French are surrendering at this time, then what else is there to fight? The British fleet and the Dutch fleet together have less than 200 warships......
"Blake, you mobilize the rear of the fleet, I mobilize the left flank of the fleet, gallop together to aid the French fleet, and the rest of the warships, continue to besiege the Ming fleet in front of you, and break through with all your might, you must get rid of the Ming fleet, otherwise, we will all fucking be finished!"
Trope roared.
"Good!"
Blake is also very speechless, what this bastard Pixon has done, it's so shameless, he didn't rescue the Spaniards just now, but now he wants the English fleet and the Dutch fleet to rescue the fuck, I've never seen such shameless! However, anger is anger, and now the French fleet must be saved, otherwise, the Western fleet will really be unable to compete with the Ming fleet......
The two of them successively dispatched fleets to the French fleet, mobilizing more than sixty warships to support the French fleet in one go, and the front continued to maintain great pressure on the Third Fleet!
After all, Zheng Cai still couldn't hold back the main fleet of the Western Ocean for too long, and behind him, the First Fleet and the Third Fleet could not eat the French fleet and reinforcements that were already preparing to meet in a short period of time, and still gave the Western Fleet an opportunity to take advantage of!
On the battlefield, the battle lasted for nearly two hours, and the Western Fleet finally broke through the footprints of the Second Fleet, completed the turn, and began to attack the Third Fleet, and the Pixon who was in the midst of the melee retreated!
At this time, Pixon finally ran out by luck, and when he got rid of the two fleets of the Ming army, his own men and the fleet that rushed to help, the number of formations was only half left, and he was defeated and lost, even if Troppe was fully supported, he still couldn't withstand the siege of the two fleets of the Ming army, and suffered heavy casualties!
It was really a heavy casualty, and when the pursuit came, the number of warships in the Western Fleet exceeded 350, and the main force was exhausted, and now, there are only more than 200 of them, and the number of warships has been directly reduced by more than one-third, and the defeat is like a mountain!
As for the Ming fleet, it also lost a lot of warships, but compared to the Western fleet, its own losses were much smaller!
The First Fleet lost more than 30 warships, the Second Fleet lost more than 30 warships, the Third Fleet lost more than 20 warships, and the same reduced nearly 100 warships, fortunately, most of the 100 damaged warships are old main warships and auxiliary warships, the loss of nearly 100 warships looks not small, but the combat power is still there, and the number of warships today has surpassed the Western Fleet.
"Order all the departments, except for the battleships that need to be repaired that need to be repaired, immediately move closer to Padang Port for refurbishment, and all the other warships will be pursued! Straight for Dara Bay! ”
Xu Yifan arrived at this time, naturally he couldn't be soft, this battle was to wipe out the Westerners, and beat them to the point that there was no threat at all, so that it could end, and the best ending was that the Western coalition forces disarmed and surrendered!
Now the whole situation has been reversed, it turned out that the Western Fleet chased the First Fleet and ran from Daraa Bay to Nias Island in one go, and now it is completely reversed, it is the turn of the Western Fleet to flee, whether it is Tropp or Blake, now they have no courage to fight again, and quickly withdraw to Dalawa Bay, only two hundred warships, the difference in strength is a bit big, back to Dalawa Bay, the warships that were damaged by themselves should basically be repaired, just right, regroup the fleet, and fight to the death with the Ming fleet again!
It's just, where will things go as Tlopp and Blake want?
In Dalawan Bay, those fleets naturally do not have any natural enemies, they just need to recuperate and repair their warships, but on land, the land forces of the Western Alliance have once again encountered a powerful opponent, an invincible opponent!
