If Pinto and Louis had hoped that the encounter with the Haihan fleet here was a coincidence, the swift response after the encounter had already signaled to the Spanish commander that the possibility was over. The Haihan fleet obviously came prepared, and from the moment it appeared, it made a posture of fighting against the enemy, which made the two commanders completely put away their luck. Previously, the Haihan people sent so many fast sailing ships to control and search at sea, and they probably showed up their own fleet when they waited.

Before the two sides engaged, the Haihan fleet had inadvertently revealed the advantage of ship maneuverability. Obviously, the time between the two sides was only a moment, but the Haihan fleet had already seized the position advantage. Although Louis's Manila fleet reacted quickly, it was only halfway through the turn that he realized that the Haihan people had consciously controlled the course of their own travel, and still maintained a large angle to cut in front of the Manila fleet. As a result, the side of the Haihan battleship was still firmly in the direction of the bow of the Spanish battleship, and there would be no parallel advance as Louis had hoped.

Although the Spanish ships were also equipped with guns in the bow, due to the limited space, the number of them certainly could not be compared with the side guns, and in such a large-scale naval battle, the firepower output of the bow guns could only be better than nothing. Moreover, the most fatal thing is that the own fleet is a single column formation, and in this situation of rapid turning, the distance is widened, and it is impossible to form a firepower network of the battle line, and the firing angles of several ships marching at the front of the fleet are at an obvious disadvantage, and it is very likely to withstand a round of intensive artillery fire from the Haihan fleet.

It's just that at the moment, if you want to adjust the overall direction of the fleet again, it is already a little too late, and the Haihan fleet is in the upper hand position at this time, and it is more convenient to adjust the direction than the Spanish fleet. Louis gritted his teeth and decided to rush this wave. He wanted to bet on whether there would be any loopholes in the formation of the opposing fleet in the event of an engagement, and if the distance between the ships was too large, then the Manila fleet could also force its way through the middle and divide it. When the time comes, the advantage of the Spanish fleet with more ships can be brought into play.

Of course, in this way, the ships at the front of the fleet may inevitably become victims of attracting enemy firepower, but Louis is also a decisive man, knowing that the outcome of this battle may affect the overall trend of the battle between the two countries, and did not hesitate too much, even when a new combat order was issued.

Tao Donglai did not have as many problems as the Spanish commander, he had full confidence in the performance of his own warships, and if he couldn't withstand this first wave of firefights, then everyone should not go to sea to fight, and obediently retreat back to Sanya Port to be the port guard.

The Haihan fleet was the first to fire the first cannon at the Spanish warship on the opposite side at a distance of about 300 meters, and although this tentative shell fell into the water at a distance of about 30 meters from the target, a series of cannons rang out, and several shells were fired from the side of the Haihan warship and flew towards the "Juan", the pioneer of the Spanish fleet.

The "Juan" belonging to the Manila fleet is a three-masted galen ship with a displacement of about 300 tons and is equipped with more than 20 guns of various calibers.
