On the sea east of Huangyan Island and west of Luzon Island, twenty Jose Allied Forces sailed northwards in a mighty manner.

After the fleet left Manila Bay, it sailed on the sea for one day. The commander of the Dutch fleet, Yabuko, immediately led the fleet and separated from the Spaniards. Ten Dutch warships entered the Subic Bay to hide.

Ten Spanish warships continued to sail towards the North Port.

This time, the two maritime powers of the Netherlands and Spain were assembled in Luzon, but even so, the Jose coalition forces did not have the strength to invade North Port.

Therefore, after discussing with the Spanish Governor, Yabuko decided to lure the navy of Donghai Town out of Beigang and then set up an ambush to annihilate it.

At this time, on the Spanish flagship St. Philip, the commander of the Far East Fleet, Earl Cruise, was staring at the sea with a telescope.

The sailors and crew of the Dutch East India Company had a messy outfit and did not have a completely unified military uniform. However, as an old-fashioned power, military uniforms have begun to be standardized.

The military uniforms of Donghai Town were improved from the Ming Dynasty's mandarin duck war robe. The uniforms of the entire army were red, while the military uniforms and styles of European countries gradually formed their own style at this time.

The British military uniforms are like Donghai Town, red, France is blue, Brandenburg's marquis and the Principality of Prussia are gray, while Spain under the Habsburgs' dynasty has white military uniforms.

At this time, the Spanish continued sailing forward. The soldiers on the ship saw the Dutch fleet entering the harbor and hid and disappeared. The soldiers on the ship raised their sails amid the call from the officers and sailed north without hesitation.

The Jose coalition was divided into two groups. From their actions, it can be seen that the coalition's plan was to lead the Spanish to the fleet of Donghai Town out of North Port, and then the Dutch fleet suddenly broke out and caused severe damage to Donghai Town.

Although there are many warships in Donghai Town, the number of main warships is only half of that of the Jose Allied Forces, and the total number of artillery is actually about the same as that of the coalition forces.

The coalition's plan was to make the Spanish fleet take the initiative to show weakness after the war and retreat to Manila.

There are many warships in Donghai Town, but there are great differences in speeds of warships. The coalition forces can use this point to make the nine gunboats in Donghai Town far away from the Fu Ship.

At that time, the Dutch fleet would emerge from behind and attack nine gunboats from Donghai Town with the Spanish fleet. Twenty to nine ships, and Donghai Town would be unable to fly.

On the sea, ten Spanish warships raised their sails, and the fleet was surrounded by a blue sea.

At this time, Cruise, the commander of the Far East Fleet, was holding a thousand-mile mirror and observing the sea. Suddenly, the flagship was looking at the battle, and the soldiers in charge of observation shouted loudly: "The enemy fleet was found in the north!"

When Cruise heard this, he quickly adjusted the camera of the Qianlijing and searched on the sea, finally locking in the figure of the fleet in the distance.

At the end of the blue sea, a huge fleet came in a mighty battle, with hundreds of ships.

"It's Chinese!" On the ship's tower, the officer said anxiously: "Master, please retreat according to the plan!"

Cruise slowly turned to Qianlijing and said coldly: "No! You are too timid. This will reveal our plan, and order the fleet to turn northwest, turn the hull, and prepare for the battle!"

The Spanish flagship Saint-Philippe hangs the flag of the order, and the Spanish soldiers on ten warships were busy, a fleet of sea snake-like arrangements sailing northward and turning northwest.

The two fleets were originally facing each other's bows, but the Spanish fleet turned slightly, and the starboard side faced the Donghai Town fleet sailing south.

"Master of the vassal! Discover the enemy ship!" On the main mast of the Zhenhai, four soldiers standing on the sea surface holding a thousand-mile mirror.

On the flagship rudder, Zhao Ming heard the report and asked in a deep voice: "The direction, the number of enemy ships!"

"The direction is right south! There are ten ships, with Spanish flags!"

"Only ten ships?" Zhao Ming reached out to take the Qianli Mile Mile Mile, and the camera scanned the sea in the distance, "Where are the Dutch warships?"

Guo Zhong sneered on the side: "The Spaniards dared to go out to the port and advance north. I guess they had some tricks. I guess the Dutch must be hidden somewhere!"

"The lord of the vassal, the enemy ship is turning, and the starboard side will face us!" The soldiers on Wangdou shouted again.

Zhao Ming didn't care what strategy the Spaniards used, and smiled and said, "Then let's see what tricks the Spaniards are going to play."

Guo Zhong smiled and said, "Whatever they play is, they are all playing big swords in front of Guan Gong!"

Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "No matter what tricks the Spanish play, the fleet rushed towards Manila as planned! He ordered the ships to turn southeast and expose the side cannons!"

In the era of sail warships, the artillery of warships was mainly distributed on the side of the hull. Therefore, in order to give full play to its own artillery advantages, the warships were aimed at the side of the enemy ships.

"His Excellency Commander! The Chinese fleet has turned!"

Cruise on the St. Philip looked calm. As the commander of the old maritime power, Cruise has rich experience in naval combat.

There are nearly 100 warships in the Donghai Town opposite, and although there are many, only nine gunboats can pose a threat to the Spanish fleet.

Most of the artillery in Donghai Town are not as fast as Spanish naval guns, and the ship speed is not as fast as Spanish warships.

Moreover, when the side of the sailing warship is shot, the shooting rate of the shell is not high. Even if it is hit, the upper hull will be smashed to pieces. As long as the underwater hull is not damaged, the ship will be difficult to sink.

Cruise smiled and said, "Don't panic, the Chinese cannot hurt us! The ships ordered the cannons to be pushed out of the cannon window, the cannons aimed at the enemy ships, and after three rounds of volleys, the fleet turned around and turned south to lure the Chinese to pursue them!"

"The enemy ship is three nautical miles away!" The soldiers shouted urgently on the Spanish warship.

Amid the shouts, the fast soldiers trained on the deck, opened the cannon window and pushed out the cannon.

For a moment, the two fleets on the sea surface opened the gun windows on the side almost at the same time. One gun was extended from the gun window, and the black muzzle pointed at the other side. The battle was about to break out, causing the soldiers of the two fleets to fall into tension.

"Aim at the enemy ship!"

"fire!"

At this time, the officers on both sides roared almost at the same time.

"Boom boom boom!" The guns on the sides of each Spanish warship opened fire in turn. The cannons made a loud thunderous sound, and the muzzles ejected from the cannons, and thick white smoke rose.

The artillery retreated violently, and the huge warships shook slightly, and the sea surface was trembling.

The commander-in-chief of the USS St. Philip, Cruise, saw countless iron bullets roaring close to the sea through the smoke from the side of the warship, splashing shocking water columns in the Donghai Town fleet, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, the side of Donghai Town also opened fire at the same time. Among countless solid bullets, a few flowering bullets were mixed with, and shot towards the Spanish fleet.

A solid bullet fell into the water more than one hundred meters away from the St. Philip, causing ridicule from Cruise and many Spanish officers.

"God is on our side!" Cruise shouted: "Continue to fire the fire and sink the pagans!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the side of the ship was not far from him exploded, and a shell with a wooden wing smashed the side of the ship, landed on the deck, and rolled into the middle of the battleship.

Cruise was slightly stunned, and suddenly there was a loud "boom", a ball of white light burst out from the middle of the battleship, strong wind and shrapnel swept across the deck, and thick black smoke rose from the battleship.

In Subic Bay, after the Dutch fleet entered the bay, they closed their sails and anchored and stopped together.

Fleet Commander Yabuko stood on the helm and looked at the decks of the warships. The sailors and soldiers were busy poking iron bullets and gunpowder to the cannons.

Yabko ordered: "The ships are ready to check the artillery and firearms."

The soldiers on ten Dutch warships were ready for the war and it was already dark.

At this time, Yabuko had just fallen asleep, but suddenly there were loud rumbling sounds outside the cabin.

This made Yabuko frown, thinking it was thunder and rain. After all, according to the voyage, the Spaniards could not bring Donghai Town so quickly.
