In the narrow strait, the joint fleet could not move at all. After being intercepted by both ends, the ships could only run around in the strait, either stranded or sunk.

At this time, the French were still quite strong. The flagship Brittany was still maneuvering stubbornly in the water column that soared into the sky in the face of the concentrated fire of several military warships.

Although as an old maritime power, the fighting will and quality of the Allied fleet is completely admired, their resistance is undoubtedly futile in the face of the army with the advantages of new artillery and tonnage.

At this time, the Joint Fleet flagship was shot in many places, but while avoiding the bombardment of the army, they still fought back several times, and their accuracy was pretty good.

This made Huang Fei, the commander of the Gan Chao fleet, sigh.

Ganchao fleet blocked the enemy, but the combat experience was obviously insufficient. With such an advantage, he did not quickly defeat the enemy fleet and performed worse than the Luzon fleet.

Huang Fei looked at the enemy ship that was evasive and fired cannons from time to time, and ordered in a deep voice, "Send the order, concentrate on shooting the enemy's flagship, and completely sink it! Then sing the flag words to make the remaining enemy ships surrender!"

On the Brittany, the French sailors had already tried their best. Facing the powerful Ganchao and Luzon fleet, they maneuvered and fought back in the narrow strait, and even injured a Ganchao light patrol. However, they were eventually penetrated by the heavy artillery of the Ganchao flagship.

On the British warship in the distance, Corvette, the deputy commander of the United Fleet, saw the tilted Brittany with a heavy expression. "Although Brittany tried hard to fight, the warships in Ganchao were too powerful, and our flagship was about to sink!"

While talking, a shell was in the British rudder, and it immediately exploded half of the rudder.

"What should I do now, Your Excellency?" The officer helped Corvette up with a look of despair.

Corvette saw the messy deck, with flames burning everywhere, black smoke, and the bodies of sailors everywhere, and made a wise judgment, "Hurry up and strand!"

The British ship then gave up his maneuver and rushed directly to the beach, preparing to surrender with a white flag.

"Long live the Joint Fleet!"

The French sailors were shouting on the tilted Brittany, and the warship turned around in a tilted direction, trying to hit the Ganchao flagship.

"Boom boom boom!"

Several dry warships fired volleys at the same time, smashing the bow of the Brittany directly. The entire ship struggled to advance dozens of meters and then fell into the sea.

After the flagship, the United Fleet warships that were trying to break through the blockage were hit by one shell after another, and their ship speed was slower and slower.

A huge explosion sounded, and another warship was hit by the gunpowder depot. The entire warship exploded violently and instantly turned into a ball of flame.

At about six o'clock, as many warships such as the Brittany sank one after another, the flag slogan was uttered on the temporary flagship of the coalition fleet: "The battle is over! God does not want to see his people making unnecessary sacrifices. The ships stop resisting and surrender to the Ganchao fleet!"

After the flag verb was played, white flags were hung one after another on various battleships that were still struggling.

It's over, it's over!

The British and French fleets, which had just replaced the Netherlands and were competing for a new maritime overlord, were both defeated to Gan Chao and surrendered to Gan Chao fleet before they could distinguish themselves.

The strong ships and powerful guns of Western powers traverse China's coastal areas and open the Chinese national gates will never happen again. The West is worried and afraid of the big ships and guns of Eastern powers.

Faced with the enemy ships, he hung up the white flags one after another, and the commander of the Jianyuan fleet Huang Fei, the commander of the Jianshi fleet, issued an order to terminate the artillery bombardment and accept surrender.

As night fell, 15 warships of the Allied Combined Fleet sank six, three of which ran aground, leaving behind them with injuries and temporarily parked in the strait.

As it got dark, the naval battle temporarily stopped. Ganchao Navy and Luzon naval forces wandered vigilantly at both ends of the strait, monitoring the Allied Combined Fleet.

Huang Fei asked the seriously damaged enemy fleet to retreat to Malacca first to rest. He and Zheng Sen cleaned up the battlefield and accepted surrender. Then one returned to Malacca and the other went directly to Yangon to report to His Majesty the Emperor about the news of the navy's key victory.

...

Kunming.

It was already the end of August when Gao Huan received the news that the Navy had annihilated the main force of the Allied Combined Fleet in the Zhenghe Islands.

"The Indian Ocean Fleet and the Luzon Navy set up an ambush in the Zhenghe Islands. After a day of fierce fighting, they sank six warships including the Allied Combined Fleet, the Brittany, Wales, and Marseille, captured nine enemy warships, and Corvette, the deputy commander of the enemy fleet, led more than 2,000 people to surrender..."

After Huang Fei arrived in Yangon, he immediately sent a quick horse to win against Kunming.

At this time, Gao Huan received the news and the command center was filled with joy.

Gao Huan was also worried that time would be tight, and Gan Chao's navy would not be able to quickly seize the power of the sea, which would affect the army's dispatch of troops to India.

Now that the navy has sunk and captured fifteen enemy warships, the Allies have lost half of the warships in the Indian Ocean, the situation at sea has reversed.

At this time, the Gan Army did not control the sea power of the entire Indian Ocean, at least there was no problem in the Gulf of Bengal and the East Coast of India.

This means that the military resources and supplies needed by the army can enter India continuously through the sea.

"Your Majesty! This is a great victory!"

This made Gao Huan finally breathe a sigh of relief. He sat down and asked someone to bring a bottle of Fenjiu from the first year of Longwu for the first time, and had a few drinks with Zhang Huangyan and others.

"Your Majesty! The navy defeated the Allied fleet in such a short time. Should the court reward him?" Zhang Huangyan blushed slightly.

Gao Huan nodded quickly, "Let the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau immediately make a batch of pure gold medals, and I will personally award them a medal!"

In recent years, the army of Ganchao has made major reforms. In addition to reforming official ranks and ranks, as well as military organization, Gao Huan also made medals to enhance the sense of honor of soldiers.

In fact, there have been relevant incentives for the army in all dynasties, but this is the first time like Gao Huan, it is the only time to hang his merits directly on his chest.

The Chinese have always been introverted and do not like to be arrogant. In order to encourage the soldiers, Gao Huan awarded himself many medals, and they were often hung on the emperor's military uniform, hoping to encourage the soldiers to wear medals.

However, most soldiers of the Gan Army will still keep the medals after they receive the medals and will not be as swagger as Gao Huan. Unless it is a major celebration or festival, few people will wear medals like Gao Huan.

Gao Huan did not participate in the command of this naval battle, but as the emperor, he must have customized a special medal for himself.

Now the emperor’s medals are so numerous that they are full of their chests. If they are hung, they must not be placed on their trouser legs.
