"The fleet of Orientals was found ahead, with about fourteen ships!"

"Are there other ambush fleets in the nearby waters?"

"Report the wind direction, speed!"

"The opponent is approaching, and some enemy ships are starting to turn!"

"Please give orders to attack!"

...

The Netherlands fleet suddenly was attacked by the Kyushu Fleet in the northeastern waters of the Java Sea, and was nervously mobilized. On the deck and in the cabin were all hurried sailors and soldiers.

They are already one of the most elite maritime forces in the South China Ocean except the Jiuzhou Navy. They suddenly encountered the Jiuzhou Army fleet and could also be mobilized quickly. If it were an ordinary indigenous fleet, they would probably be in chaos now.

The highest military commander of the East India Company, Cohen, the governor of Batavia, took off his triangle hat and looked at the huge fleet of the Jiuzhou Army that appeared in the water ahead in disbelief, stunned.

Fourteen warships, the smallest warship, were larger than the 700-ton main ship of the Orange where he is now. Three of the warships were like three moving sea castles, like dwarfs looking up at the giants.

"Take a column and deal with them! Take the side of the downturn and prepare to retreat!" Cohen is a long-time general of the East India Company after all. Although he was so nervous, he still looked calm on the surface.

The Netherlands fleet soon divided into two columns, and began to sail in the direction they were when they came.

The sails on the mast of Victory were all set and advanced at full speed!

"Commander, they have seized the disadvantage. They are going to escape." said a naval officer of the Jiuzhou Army.

"They seized the lower side. Are we on the upper side? Let the Constitution formation catch up and drag them down. None of them wants to escape." Nelson put down his telescope and said.

He hadn't been on the battlefield in person for several years, but this time he returned to the battlefield, and he still felt that it was meaningless. When he led the British Navy to fight against Spain and the French Navy in the Mediterranean, his enemy had a powerful fleet of 33 sailing battleships. The artillery of the battleship alone had more than 2,000, which was truly an era of strong ships and powerful guns. In this era, the warships he dealt with were mostly armed merchant ships equipped with more than 10 guns, which made it difficult for him to be energetic.

The flag on the main ship Victory was raised, and the flag-speaking soldiers who were located on the deck of the Constitution specifically communicated with the main ship were instructed to report to the captain of the Constitution.

"Put up all the sails and move forward at full speed, be sure to catch up with them!" The commander of the Constitution immediately issued an order.

The Constitution is not positioned as a sail battleship, but a sail destroyer. The independent formation composed of the Constitution is composed of four sail cruisers. Their firepower is far less than that of the sail battleship formation. For example, the Constitution has only 38 artillery pieces. It is incomparable to the 80 artillery Sea God and the Victory of 100 artillery, but their speed is extremely fast, nearly half faster than the Victory battleships and other battleships. Moreover, the 38 artillery pieces are compared with large figures like the Victory and the Sea God. Compared with the warships of this era, the Constitution, which is more than 60 meters long and drains 2,000 tons, is undoubtedly a giant!

The Constitution took three other sail cruisers out of the main fleet and approached the Dutch column at an extremely fast speed! Unlike the Nanyang Fleet fighting in Malacca, the Zhili Fleet has such a formation with extremely fast power, just like a hawk raised by hunters. When they discovered their prey, they rushed up immediately, entangled the enemy and tore it apart!

"The Oriental fleet drove the sails. They were on the upper side and their speed would be similar to ours. It would be very difficult to get rid of them... No, am I a ghost! Several Oriental warships have left their main force and are approaching us! Damn, their speed is faster than us!"

"Quick, please inform the fleet ahead of you. Four Oriental warships are approaching, and they are extremely fast!"

The armed merchant ship located at the last Dutland fleet discovered the Constitution's independent formation and attacked quickly, like a pack of wolves on the sea, so he anxiously issued a warning to the fleet ahead.

"Governor General, an alarm came from the lower column behind. A warship formation of Oriental people was approaching very fast and was expected to catch up with the lower column at the last one soon!" The flag-spoken soldier came over and said to Cohen, the commander of the front column.

"How many ships do the other party have?" Cohen asked.

"Four ships." said the flag-speaking soldier.

"Let all ships in the upper column slow down, gather with the lower column, and eliminate the Jiuzhou Army formation that took the initiative to catch up!" Cohen was forced to destroy the four warships that were alone.

In his opinion, if it was just four warships of the Jiuzhou Army, with the two columns of the upper and lower sides of the army, they should be able to destroy the four enemy ships that were catching up in the movement, and they would not be caught up by the Victory formation and the Sea God formation that was like the fortress in the rear.

The upper column, located in front, turned to the front right, then slowly lowered its speed, and after parallel to the lower column, all sails were opened again. In this way, no matter which direction the Constitution column chasing the Netherlands appeared, it could be attacked by two Dutch columns.

"Will they catch up from the left or the right?" Cohen only felt that his mouth tongue was dry, which was caused by being too nervous.

This is his first time fighting with the Jiuzhou Army's fleet!

"They chased after it from the right side!!" The observer screamed.

The four cruisers of the Constitution gradually chased from the right, and the upper column of the Netherlands on the right!

When the Constitution of the first warship of the Constitution formation is parallel to the last armed merchant ship of the upper column, it is the moment when the artillery war breaks out!

"Calm down, calm down!" The captain on the Dutch armed merchant ship located at the end shouted calm down, but his voice was so sharp that it was about to twist!!

He saw that a sail cruiser that was so huge that he was desperate, emerged from his bow, parallel to their armed merchant ship. The sail cruiser was extremely fast, and after the bow appeared, the hull gradually became exposed. The 12-pound cannon and 24-pound cannon on the port side of the Constitution aimed at their armed merchant ship!

The captain of the Dutland armed merchant ship took a breath of air, as if the breath was held in his chest suddenly erupted! Almost at the same time, he issued an order with the officer of the Constitution opposite: "Fire, open fire!"

"Fire the gun!!!" The gunner also screamed heart-wrenchingly!
