There was already a battlefield filled with smoke, but what made "Jingqing" very unhappy was that several armed fast sailboats of the Shen family were already blazing fire. It seemed that the sound of sailors tearing their throats could be heard in the smoke, but the naval battle had just begun.

The Shen family's Southern Squadron mobilized all combat ships. Although the total number of combat ships was slightly advantageous, the quality of the ships was much worse. The battleships of the Southern Combined Fleet alone could compete with the entire Southern Squadron.

At the beginning of the battle, the two convenient columns were deployed. Before picking up the enemy, the Shen family's fast sailboat sailed on the front line, throwing all the side firepower first, and the dense bombardment never stopped.

Albion's navy also advocated the spirit of offense. The huge fleet crashed directly over. The battleship of the seventy-four artillery did not fire. Only the several gunboats in the front received the fire.

Only the unfortunate will be shot at the shooting three thousand yards away. The shells on both sides will almost only stir up endless waves. Some captains even shouted: "Save ammunition! Dump them onto your enemies!"

On Albion's flagship "King", Commander Resling gave each sailor a glass of rum on his flagship after the ceremony of commemorating the queen, and the officers were given a glass of champagne. However, all the officers took the initiative to drink a glass of rum. Resling stood on the bridge with a crystal glass of wine in his hand and shouted loudly: "God, in this sacred moment, for our Albion and for the loyalty of the queen! Please bless us!"

Albion's naval officers and soldiers sang spontaneously: "God bless the queen, wish her a long life, and a God bless the queen. Always win and be glorious; be happy to the people; govern the country, and be prosperous; bless the queen!"

Fei Capital's "Great Albion" hid far behind with some armed transport ships. Fei Capital whispered: "Everything depends on today!"

Compared with the Albion people who believed in the tactics of melee combat, the Shen family fleet learned the Cape people's tactics and started shooting intensively at three thousand yards away, but the effect was not good. Both sides used teams as units to launch their mobile phones to seize the T-head.

Supervisor Jiang whispered: "No matter who the winner is, there will be no starlight today!" Then he said loudly: "Forward! The Southern Cross will shine on us!"

The officers and soldiers of the Southern Squadron also sang spontaneously in the waves, but the gunboats and cruisers of the Albion's avant-garde team soon approached. After six or seven rounds of fire, the three armed fast sailboats of the Shen family could no longer exist.

Moreover, Albion's artillery is indeed excellent, with a very high hit rate, and dense rounds of shooting, but there is always misfortune. A shell hit the side of the gunboat "Invincible", and then shrapnel flew everywhere, and the ship was in disarray.

Then several rounds of shells hit the Invincible. The port side of the Invincible warship had been damaged quite heavily. The crew members barely reset the artillery while shouting and preparing to fire again. However, now the two Shen family warships have successfully seized the T-head and developed the maximum artillery power. After several rounds of range, the Invincible was already a blazing fire. The fleet structure encountered considerable damage, and the entire ship had lost its combat effectiveness.

Since the grenades appeared, the fleet was greatly shortened during the decisive battle. Before this, the shooting between sailing warships often took several hours, and both sides often fought to lose both sides. Grenades with huge lethality were also equipped in the Albion Navy. They had better artillery skills, more artillery numbers, and larger caliber, so they achieved greater results.

At this time, Resling fired a flag saying: "The fleet is inserted into the enemy fleet! The two sides compete for the side cannon!"

The Albion Navy always paid so much attention to attack that the officers and soldiers were even eager to try and prepare for a medieval battle to fight with fists and bayonets.

"Jingqing" cut into the battle at the most appropriate time. They rushed directly from the flank and hit the best target. The Mayflower gunboat originally belonged to the avant-garde team of the Albion people. They suffered at least forty shells in the battle, with great casualties and great damage to the structure. They are now working hard to repair the ship.

After Duncan saw this prey, he almost drooled all over the ground. He saw a yellow croaker eye. He didn't even need to give orders. The officers and soldiers took the initiative to control the warships and sailed forward. With the wind and the power of the steam engine, they drove a high speed of sixteen knots. The artillery technique was extremely accurate. The shooting from two thousand yards away was hit continuously. Especially the twenty-pound front-mounted rifled cannon on the Jingqing was extremely powerful. The ship was almost like hell, with soldiers escaping from bullet rain everywhere, blood was flying everywhere, and broken limbs were everywhere...

Every time he hit, the sailors on the ship cheered. In this case, Reslin responded quickly. Three gunboats and two cruisers turned to support the Mayflower. Jingqing was not willing to let go of this prey, but he was unable to compete with the enemy with absolute advantage. In desperation, he could only make another chance. Behind him was the Albion fleet that was chasing him closely.

A yellow croaker with golden light flew away in vain, but the "May Flower" was not much better and almost lost its buoyancy.

However, the "Jingqing" finally restrained part of the Southern Combined Fleet. However, the officers and soldiers of the Southern Squadron are not feeling well now. They have lost seven warships since the war started. Although the number of casualties in the battle cannot be counted, the Southern Squadron will no longer be able to recover its vitality in the short term, and Albion was only sunk a gunboat, not to mention that there are more headaches at present.

Among the silver-white water columns are the main battleships of the Albion people. Huge shells roared and aroused countless water columns, but rarely hit. The only 74-artillery battleship of the Southern Squadron, the only 74-artillery battleship "Jingyuan", could only be head-on. The whistling Albion shells were cutting through the sky and flying towards "Jingyuan". The huge water column almost surrounded the entire "Jingyuan".

But Jingyuan had to continue moving forward. Although there were more than ten seventy-four artillery battleships in front of him, he could only continue moving forward.

Only by repelling the enemy can we ensure the New Continent in the South, and failure on the sea can only throw away this rich land.

Fortunately, the Southern Squadron has many steam warships, which play a great role in combat. They seized the most favorable battle position in naval battles and carried their firepower to the extreme.

Although the Albion Navy had a considerable number of steam warships, this fleet was a unit jointly formed by the East India Company and the Netherlands Navy, most of which were sail warships. The two sides collided and launched the most fierce battle.

Now this is the ocean of fire.

Xiamen.

The officers and soldiers are now looking forward to Xiao Diji's accurate order. It is too sad to have such a life of mobilizing the entire army but waiting for the attack. They are a little impatient and can't help asking: "Does the commander have orders?"

Xiao Diji was equally anxious, and he asked again: "Is there any news in the south?"

Fu Sbo replied angrily: "How is this possible! You have asked seven times in five minutes!"

Xiao Diji said with anticipation: "I'm afraid the war has begun in the south now!"

However, there is no submarine cable in the south, and the news must be transmitted by the Clippers. Now it is wartime, so the news comes even slower. Although Xiao Diji sent several intelligence ships south, a sailboat even ran out of the super highway of 17 knots, at the moment he can only look forward to it like an ants on a hot pan.

Three hours later, Xiao Diji got the news, and actually said it was the same as not. The more this happened, the more anxious Xiao Diji became.

Watching him walk around, Fu Sbo thought for a while, and finally said, "Digi, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Looking at Xiao Diji's sharp eyes, Fu Sibo said vaguely: "Someone has seen him in the south! In the Shen family's fleet!"

Xiao Diji's eyes suddenly became very complicated, and it took him a long time to say, "You want me to fight against Albion? Although I owe him a lot, I don't need to fight against the queen who is all over the world... Besides, we and the Shen family have always been competitors, and now the Shen family has joined forces with Liu Jingxiao... Oh! The best way is to get along far and near!"

While speaking, Xiao Diji's expression changed several times, as if he was talking to himself: "You know! The four years in Albion are the best memories of my life... I have a deep friendship with many of their naval officers, and in terms of interests, they can be said to be one of our best allies..."

He sang the familiar Albion song on the beat: "Don't forget your old friends, and you will miss you infinitely..."

There was endless pain as he spoke, and his body trembled constantly. The decision was too difficult at the moment, so Fu Sbo cursed in his heart: "At least I have to make a big splash now. I'm so hesitant that I want to take the Second Fleet to where!"

At this time, the second wave of Albion sent from Johor also arrived in Xiamen, and they naturally went to Rashodiji to their own team.

With a full of anger, Duncan cursed: "Give me back the yellow croaker! Give me back the yellow croaker!" While commanding the warship to quickly leave. After all, it was a warship equipped with a steam engine. In just twenty minutes, it had already thrown away the chasing enemy ship and then chased it back.

Bai Siwen kept shouting "Yellow Crocus! Yellow Crocus!" Not only did he hoped to have a good harvest, but he didn't care that his part had been deducted by the supervising officer. Fortunately, he was not far from the battlefield, and "Jingqing" soon arrived again. After seeing the target in front of him, Duncan couldn't help but be happy: "There is a yellow Crocus!"
