The flames illuminated the secret port of the Ottoman Empire on Chios Island. Black smoke rolled, obscuring the sight. The warships that sank to the bottom of the sea revealed half of their bodies. On the sea were floating wooden boards, dead sailors, and broken flags.

The Ottoman soldiers on the island were crying without tears as they watched the secret fleet they had finally accumulated.

A squadron of 14 warships of the coalition forces attacked the port, causing great damage to it.

17 Turkish sailing ships and galleys were sunk or burned, and 5 were captured by the coalition forces. The three captured ships were sunk by the coalition forces at the entrance of the bay and blocked the exit. In addition to the sunken ships, the channel became blocked and complex, basically paralyzing the military function of the port. The hulls of the other ships were more or less scars from being hit by shells.

"This group of people is simply demons! If we weren't for the large number of people, they might have destroyed all the ships in the port together!"

"Our fleet of ships secretly built by Chios is considered to be ruined. We originally planned to attack Chios from Chios unexpectedly and join the fleets of Rhodes and Constantinople... Now that we are suffering this disaster, what should we do..."

"The fleet immediately withdraws from Chios Island and heads towards Rhode Island! The secret fleet of Chios Island is exposed, and they may summon more warships to attack!"

After a brief discussion, a group of Ottoman officers agreed that the other party would make a comeback.

With 14 coalition warships, they dared to raid the port with nearly 100 large sailing ships and galleys. They would definitely not let go of this piece of fat, and they would like to destroy all the Turkish fleets anchored in the port and then take credit for the superiors.

In fact, the Ottoman defenders on Chios Island were expected to be well. Zheng Zhihu and Black led the squadron to rush around the port until the sunset. They were afraid that the sight of the poor after nightfall was not good, and they were attacked by the Turkish fleet, which had the advantage of the number, so they temporarily retreated.

On the other hand, a group of wooden sailboats were seriously damaged by shelling with the Turkish fleet. All the crew and sailors, the paddlers were exhausted and unable to fight again. They planned to go back to find the steam iron armored ships "Huo Qubing" and "General Fubo" to completely clean up the secret fleet hiding on Chios Island.

Zheng Zhihu, Black, Zheng Chenggong, Hannah, Castella and others returned to Thenedos Island where the blockade fleet was located, and reported to Sun Xu, the commander that there was a huge Turkish fleet hidden in it on Chios Island.

Sun Xu was surprised to learn that Zheng Zhihu and others had tracked Turkish merchant ships and discovered a secret Turkish naval port: "The Venetians have never told us that there is nearly 100 various combat ships on Chios Island. I am afraid that they don't know that the Ottoman Empire built many new shipyards to occupy the entire Mediterranean. You raided the port without a single ship being sunk or captured. I did a good job. I will send the Huo Qubing ironclad ship and the other five ships to help you, and go with you to wipe out this Turkish fleet again."

Zheng Chenggong, Hannah and others successfully hijacked a Turkish sailor and captured a group of Turkish sailors. They were praised by Sun Xu, the commander of the Fourth Fleet. The stranding incident happened suddenly and the matter was not held accountable.

The Iron Craft Huo Qubing led the other five ships to join the squadron hunting of Chios. Although their mission was to block the Dardanelles, there was a huge Turkish fleet hidden nearby, and they could not let them go.

With the squadron joined by Huo Qubing, the Turkish fleet that was originally hiding the port here had fled in fear. They left Chios Island early and sailed to the southern Rhode Island, trying to meet with the Governor of Rhode Island, Huo Shanzand.

"It seems that they are already scared by us. If they had known that they would not have been so desperate, they would have the courage to stay here." Zheng Zhihu, Black thought about it now, and was a little regretful that he had not been able to wipe out this Turkish fleet. At least 70 ships fled here.

The Huo Qubing steam ironclad ship could not have shown "muscles" to the Ottoman Empire on Chios Island as imagined. The officers and soldiers of the ironclad ship had regretted that they symbolically set off more than a dozen shells on the Chios Island turret to warn.

They did not waste shells on this island that lost their value, and the real mission of the Steam Iron Crafts is to conquer the turrets of the Dardanelles and capture Constantinople.

The 70 injured Turkish fleets fleeing Chios Island went south to Rhode Island, but they were in a bad mood - they had just escaped the clutches of Zheng Zhihu, Black, Zheng Chenggong, Castella and others, but one evening halfway through, they were caught by the main force of the coalition fleet led by Nelson, Capelo and George Monk!

The Turkish fleet discovered the steam ironclad ship of Wei Qing, which was emitting black smoke, and the Sea King led by George Monk, and the Venetian warship led by Capelo, which was frightened. The number of main forces of the coalition forces was much more than Zheng Zhihu and Black and their squadrons!

The Turkish fleet immediately accelerated to escape southeastward!

"I'm so lucky that the governor of Rhodes of the Ottoman Empire has been avoiding us. He finally caught a Turkish fleet, and the number is quite amazing!"

Nelson and others were overjoyed and immediately pursued.

At this time, night began to hit, and the vision was seriously hindered. The main force of the coalition fleet was unable to launch a large-scale naval battle immediately due to nightfall, so they had to follow the huge Turkish fleet of 70 warships.

Nelson showed amazing command skills. In order to capture this Turkish fleet, he dispersed the Zhili fleet into several daily small-scale combat formations.

Five of them were faster, including the Constitution, and sail frigates quickly rushed to the front of the Turkish fleet in the dark, attracting the firepower of the Turkish fleet and hindering their escape.

At the same time, the steam engine of the Wei Qing ironclad ship was fully fired, leading the other five warships of the Zhili fleet to accelerate and pounce on them!

The Royal Fleet of England, who had not yet reacted, watched the Venetian Fleet watch the Zhili Fleet launching a rapid hunting operation at night with the moonlight. They struggled to follow the rear of the Zhili Fleet and passively participated in the pursuit battle.

The capture war in the night battle was thrilling. The Weiqing ironclad ship, which was fully powered by steam and sail power, exceeded any Turkish ship. It brutally overturned a Turkish galleon. The heavy artillery installed on the artillery deck fired solid bullets weighing more than 100 pounds, and roared into the hull of the Turkish warship! The ironclad ship killed all sides at night!
