Lord Moyu was forced to open

Two days later.

Standing on the Queen Victoria, after vaguely seeing the outline of Yingzhou Island through the telescope, René Grennon, commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet, immediately ordered the Combined Fleet to advance at full speed.

At this time, the other members of the combined fleet also saw the first destination of this journey, and the sound of pulling up all the sails and moving forward at full speed could be heard.

After about another hour, they could finally see Yingzhou Island clearly with their naked eyes.

When René Grenon saw through the telescope that dozens of third-class battleships anchored in Nagasaki Port were sailing out of the port after they appeared, René Grenon couldn't help but smile.

He originally thought that Song, as the largest country in the Far East, would have a very powerful fleet, but he did not expect that it only had dozens of third-level battleships.

Dozens of third-level battleships are already a very powerful combat force in most European countries, but they are far inferior to Great Britain, not to mention the combined fleet that now gathers all the elite warships in Europe!

Compared to them, they are just like fireflies compared to the bright moon! There is absolutely no comparison!
After all, the Song State is a land power. I heard that their army has millions of soldiers, but their navy is no match for us in Europe!

Since the other side only has dozens of third-level battleships and their combat effectiveness is far inferior to ours, we can just crush the fleet and defeat the Song fleet with absolute strength!

This is what René Grenon thought and did!
His first mate immediately passed the latest orders to other warships in the combined fleet.

The other warships that received the order immediately let out excited wolf howls, and then rushed towards the oncoming "Song State Fleet" at full speed as if they were afraid of falling behind others!
The Song State fleet is so small, but they have so many, so naturally it’s first come first served!
They had already agreed before setting off that whoever contributed more in the battle would be eligible to get more when the benefits were divided!
Now there is a huge amount of gold right in front of us. If we don’t grab it now, when will we grab it?
Three hundred warships braved the wind and waves, rushing towards the fifty or so "warships" of 3,000 tons.

When they were less than ten nautical miles away from the warships, the Song fleet seemed to realize that it was no match for them and immediately turned around and fled towards the port.

Upon seeing this, René Grenon shouted, "Sailors! The enemy saw the power of the great Europa Fleet and was frightened and fled! Let us chase them and tear them into pieces. Let them know who is the real master of this sea!"

"Hoohoho!!!"

The Europa Combined Fleet cheered and followed closely behind the fifty or so 3,000-ton warships heading towards Nagasaki Port. Rene Grennon planned to follow them until they entered the port and then block them in the port, and then use the ship's guns to blow them into pieces!
But what he didn't notice was that behind them, a huge fleet had quietly circled behind them and was surrounding them!
Finally, under the close pursuit of the European Combined Fleet, the "Song Fleet" in front was finally forced to flee back to the port. The sailors on the Combined Fleet immediately laughed loudly in various languages.

"Look! The Song fleet was frightened by us and fled back to its mother's arms!"

"Look at how weak this Song fleet is. It's so pitiful that I want to hug it and kiss it!"

"Hahaha! The cowardly people of Song will be helpless when they see the great Europa Fleet!"

"Gentlemen, let's defeat them, land in Song State, and grab a lot of gold coins from them!"

The navies of various countries on the Combined Fleet have begun cheering and celebrating the victory.

Just as René Grenon ordered the combined fleet to prepare for an attack, a sudden cry of fear made René Grenon, who was already enjoying his victory, turn around and look behind him following the chief of staff's gaze!
The next moment, after seeing the situation clearly behind them, René Grenon and everyone who turned to look couldn't help but feel their pupils tremble!
Behind them, on the originally empty sea, at the end of the horizon, dark waves were moving forward rapidly with gurgling black smoke!
That was obviously the real navy of the Song Dynasty!
The armored warship fleet of the Song Dynasty’s East China Sea Fleet!

And they have been completely surrounded from all sides. The enemy is obviously planning to annihilate them! At this time, René Grennon suddenly turned back to look at the dozens of Song Dynasty's third-level battleships that had returned to the port. He immediately saw small boats being lowered from these ships, and then the boats carrying people quickly left these warships and returned to the shore. Once they got ashore, all the people ran away without a trace.

Damn it! He was deceived!

Rene Grenon finally realized that he had fallen into someone else's trap and was lured here on his own initiative, otherwise the other party would not have been able to completely block them here.

If he was not sure of victory, he would never let the fleet enter such an environment with no retreat!

But now, everything is too late. Since the other party has lured him in, it is obviously impossible for them to let them go back easily!
"Damn you René Grenon, this is all your fault! You brought everyone to the Jedi, and you fell into the trap set by the Song people!

If we all die here today, René, you will be the sinner of the whole of Europe!"

Gary Hall, who had been invisible all along, jumped out at this time, pointed at Rene Grenon's nose and started to loudly accuse him.

Rene Grenon's face looked ugly, but he rarely refuted it, because these were all facts. Now he only thought about how to bring more warships back.

Otherwise, if they all failed here, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for Europe, whose shipbuilding industry is currently suffering!
Taking a deep breath, René Grenon suppressed all the emotions in his heart, calmed himself down, and said to Gary Hall:

"Okay, what's the point of blaming me now? Why didn't you stop them when I ordered the pursuit? Now that something has gone wrong, you know you're putting the blame on me.

The most important thing for us to do now is not to quarrel here, but to bring more people back to Europe.

This is obviously a trap set for us by the Song people. We can't stay here forever, otherwise we will die without a burial place.

Come and help me analyze and see where is our best breakthrough point! "

Gary Hall calmed down after hearing this. He also understood that it was no use arguing or shirking responsibility now. If they all died here, it would no longer matter who was responsible. The most urgent thing was to escape first.

Looking up at the black waves that were closing in on the periphery, Gary Hall's eyes suddenly lit up after a moment and he pointed to the south and said, "Look! There! The number of warships there is obviously less than other places. If we want to break out now, we can only break out from there!"

Rene Grenon quickly looked in the direction he pointed, and his eyes lit up instantly.

That’s a good direction indeed!
