Ruan Phuxi, the general of the Ruan family naval commander, was worried at this time. The Ruan family naval commander led by him broke out in a frontal battle with the Zheng family naval commander near Rili Haikou a few days ago. Originally, the Ruan family naval commander could defeat the Zheng family naval commander, but when the two sides were in full swing, three warships from the East India Company invited by the Zheng family appeared on the battlefield, which quickly reversed the situation. The Ruan family naval commander also suffered heavy losses under the attack of the East India Company.

In the next few days, the Ruan Family Navy tried hard to avoid head-on conflicts with the Zheng Family Navy, but instead turned into continuous harassment to interrupt the Zheng Family Navy to open the sea road behind the Changde Leaf defense line. This tactic was undoubtedly more successful, but it angered the Zheng Family Navy and the East India Company. The consequence was that they temporarily gave up their transportation forces and turned into chasing the Ruan Family Navy on the sea. Both sides had been dealing in the offshore areas for two days.

"General, our fleet hastily entered the battle, and the ammunition on the ship is already exhausted. In this afternoon, we will not even have the ability to fight back." The sailors on the ship were also worried.

"We fled south by the direction of the ocean currents and were able to keep a certain distance from the enemy. But once we retreat to the south of the port, it was equivalent to handing over the waters near the Rili Haikou to the enemy. In this way, they only need to send a portion of their troops to capture our port and transport troops without any scruples."

"But besides retreating south along the coastline, can we escape to the depths of the sea? These are small boats in the near-shore, and once they encounter storms on the ocean, they will easily capsize! And in the depths of the sea, our sloops are not as fast as those of the Westerners' three-masted sailboats!"

On the main battleship of the Ruan family Navy, some naval lieutenants were quarreling, which aggravated Nguyen Phucxi's irritability.

"General! A fleet was found in front of you!" The sailor who was watching suddenly screamed.

"How can there be a fleet other than us in this sea area?!" Ruan Phuc Xi hurriedly came from the stern to the bow of the ship.

Sure enough, on the horizontal line where the sea and sky intersect, a fleet rushed towards their Ruan family naval commanders in the posture of four formations. Although this fleet was still a certain distance from them, Ruan Phuc Xi could tell with his own eyes that this fleet seemed to be a big ship...

"What should I do? General, we were attacked! I didn't expect that the so-called East India Company was so powerful. In addition to three large warships, there was also such a powerful fleet. This time, we could not escape by attacking each other," a navy captain said in despair, and he felt his throat dry.

"Don't panic, this is not necessarily the fleet of the East India Company..." Nguyen Phuc Xi said uncertainly, "At the moment we can only use our lives to make a big bet. Go forward at full speed, and if the other party is not an enemy, we will bypass from both sides. If it is an enemy, use the wind direction and ocean currents, and with the advantage of speed, there will always be ships that can break through the blockade of their fleet."

"Yes!" All the soldiers of the Ruan family's navy realized the seriousness of the matter, and at this time they could only do their best to leave their destiny!

The Ruan family navy raised their sails to advance towards the unknown fleet. The fleet that appeared in the south also discovered the Ruan family navy. Their speed gradually slowed down, and flags were raised from the thick masts.

"Make the flag of our navy?!" The uneasy Ruan Phuc Xi kept staring at the unknown fleet that determined their fate. When she found that the fleet had raised the flag of their navy, she almost jumped up excitedly!

No matter why this unnamed and powerful fleet is the flag of their Ruan family navy, since the other party spent time sending such a signal, it means that it is not an enemy!

"General, the other ship means that we will go around from both sides and not disrupt their formation. They are ready for battle." said a navy captain who understands the flag language.

"I can understand this without saying it. Send the order and let each ship sail to the left and right sides separately, and bypass the fleet!" Ruan Phucxi immediately issued a military order.

"Return the bow!" After receiving the military order, the Ruan Navy ships began to avoid the fleet coming from the opposite side.

This powerful fleet is the main force of the Nanyang Fleet, and the commander of the Nanyang Fleet is Deng Qianlong!

"It seems that the other party understands our message." Deng Qianlong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I am not afraid that the Ruan family naval commander is incapable, but most afraid that they will become teammates of pigs. If the Ruan family naval commander is in a panic, it will be a joke.

Although Deng Qianlong despised the speed of several Ruan Family Navy ships docked near Hoi An Port, he did not take them north together, he brought some soldiers from Ruan Family Navy on board and brought their flags to distinguish enemies and friends.

"General of the Celestial Dynasty, our navy on the opposite side conveyed warnings to us through flags and words. The main force of the enemy navy is chasing them." The soldiers of the Ruan family navy who were on the deck of the Daqin Sail Battleship said to Deng Qianlong.

"Well, I have seen the enemy." Deng Qianlong could already see the enemy ships following the Ruan Navy through the monocular telescope, "and the order for all formations to advance at full speed to meet the enemy!"

The sails of three-masted sailboats were pulled over, and the speed of twenty warships of the Nanyang Fleet suddenly accelerated, quickly conical to face the enemy!

Ruan Phuc Xi took a short ship around the right side of the Nanyang Fleet. When he looked up at the huge hull of the sail battleship from a high place, he was frightened to death, especially the twenty heavy artillery equipped on the single side. The cold muzzle made him feel sad. Fortunately, this was a friendly army, otherwise the Ruan Navy led by him would have suffered heavy casualties if he wanted to break through such a group of artillery fortresses.

"Strange, why did a fleet suddenly appear? And they did not fight with the Ruan family's navy. Could it be their reinforcements?" The Dutland officer also discovered the Nanyang fleet that arrived on the battlefield, but he didn't know who the other party was.

"Is this the Western fleet they invited? It's like the warships of our Zheng family hiring your East India Company?" The general of the Zheng family's naval army looked at the Dutch officer in confusion.

"The entire Western fleet in the Far East, except for our East India Company, is only the Spanish fleet. But they are afraid that our East India will capture the Strait of Malacca, so they have been hiding there. I don't believe they have the courage to put the fleet into this naval battle." The Dutch general looked at the accelerated South China Fleet and felt a little familiar. He seemed to think of something, and his face turned pale. "No, this is very likely the fleet of the Jiuzhou Army, retreat quickly!"
