When the warships of the Huaxing Army sailed through the mouth of the bay, the air could be filled with a pungent smell of burning.Zheng Dahai looked around the shore with a telescope in the bow of the ship, which had been scorched by British shells, and there was no longer any breath of life, only half of the flag of the Great China Federation was still fluttering."
Pass the order, this foreign devil will not be killed, and one must not be let go" Zheng Dahai's forehead was exposed, and he almost roared angrily."
Yes" The herald also waved the command flag with a sad and angry face, and the command flag continued to wave down on the mast, and soon all the warships sailing side by side received the order."
The commander has an order, and all British troops will not be forgiven," "The commander has an order, and all foreign devils will be killed," "The captains of the ships of the East China Sea Fleet quickly conveyed the order."
Not long after, the ships of the South China Sea Fleet sounded the same order.Wang Zhenyuan also saw the fort that had been reduced to Jiao Island, and the depression in his heart made his eyes erupt with fire.The survivors of the sinking of the British warship had just climbed onto the boat, and before they had slid forward for a long distance, the warship of the Huaxing Army chased after it like a hill.The Huaxing army on the "bang, bang, bang" deck quickly aimed at the British army in the sea and pulled the trigger, and the British army, which was still arrogant, was just a fish and meat to be slaughtered at this time.Bullets whizzed into their bodies, and the endless fear and pain caused them all to let out a ghostly howl.The surface of the sea was dyed red after a while, and the corpses of hundreds of British soldiers quickly floated on the surface of the sea.The British army could never have imagined that the retribution would come so quickly, and even their life-saving boats were directly smashed into pieces by the warships of the Huaxing Army."
God, this is simply a group of devils" The British troops who fled in a hurry in front of them surrounded the deck, and everyone was stunned by the devastating momentum of the Huaxing army.They first fired indiscriminately on the ship, and then ran over it directly with the ship, and the surviving British had no chance to escape.The British ships fled desperately in front of them, and did not fire a single shell.Zheng Dahai and Wang Zhenyuan had already discovered this situation, and the two of them immediately concluded that the British army must have been too arrogant just now and lost all the shells.Although the British warships have small horsepower, the tonnage of the warships is also small, and they can be equal to the warships of the Huaxing Army at sea.The two sides always maintained a distance of three or four thousand meters, and the warships of the Huaxing army could not catch up with the British warships for a while, and they simply relied on the main gun fire, not only the hit rate was not high, but the ammunition consumption of the main guns was extremely fast.Zheng Dahai and Wang Zhenyuan discussed with the flag, and the two hit it off, and decided to just bite the British army until they ran out of power.They all knew that the British army had sailed all the way and would definitely consume a lot of coal.And they have just finished replenishing in Tianjing, which is now enough to walk around Australia."
It's strange, why don't they open fire" Joseph didn't dare to be careless for a moment, his command ship ran in the front, and he thought that the Huaxing army could not keep up.When he checked with the binoculars, the warships of the Huaxing Army were still within five thousand meters, biting them in the back."
Captain, are they running out of shells" Jackson was also nervous with a telescope to look at the British army so far twenty warships have been blown up and sunk in the sea.Now that the cannonade had finally stopped, his heart was much lighter.A rush in Joseph's mind quickly dismissed the possibility.The battleships had apparently just sailed out of the harbor and must have finished resupplying.The "bell" battleship shook for a while, and because of inertia, it almost knocked Joseph and Jackson to the deck."
What's the matter, what's wrong?"
Joseph jumped in his heart and yelled at the herald, immediately feeling a hint of something wrong.Soon the herald returned with the desperate news that the ship had run out of coal.Driven by the sails, the warship staggered forward less than 100 meters, and its speed obviously slowed down.This was true of the command ships, and even more so with the battleships behind, which soon all slowed down.It's dusk, and the sun is setting slowly.Joseph originally wanted to take advantage of the night to get rid of the Huaxing army, but he didn't expect that there would be no coal now, "It's over, it's God's will" Joseph looked at the Huaxing army that was constantly catching up behind him, his head was blank, and his whole body couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness."
Captain, you can't give up.If we don't escape in a small boat first, even if the Huaxing Army wants to swallow such a large fleet, I'm afraid it will be enough for us to escape" Jackson was also in a cold sweat, but his brain did not stop running, and he quickly thought of this last resort.In Chinese parlance, this is called abandoning the pawn to protect the car.At this time, the warships of the Huaxing Army had already sailed within a distance of four thousand meters.The deafening sound of cannons covered the sea again, and the cannonballs in the sky were like meteorite falls, and the huge flames almost blinded people's eyes.The British ships were already in disarray, completely incapable of resisting.Hua Xingjun quickly sucked up like a magnet, and soon drove into a distance of three thousand meters.And the battleship unfolded in a semicircle, like a pair of big hands quickly spreading to both sides."
Let's go, let's go first" Joseph was really scared at this time, if he didn't leave, he could only be bombed like a target.With Joseph's orders, Jackson quickly got the officers of the command ship onto the lifeboat.Before leaving, the herald also issued a final order to the British warship, that is, to resist the Huaxing army at all costs.The other warships didn't know about Joseph's escape, and as soon as the command ship gave the order, they immediately slowed down one after another, preparing to fight with the Huaxing army.Because there were no guns, the crew went to the deck with rifles and shot at Hua Xingjun under the orders of the captain.This was also often the case in previous naval battles, as soon as there were no shells on board, then a close shootout.If you get closer, you can get on the enemy ship and engage in a white-knuckle battle.However, the warships of the Huaxing Army did not give them a chance to engage in close combat, and the twenty ships had been deployed in a V-shape, and all the rapid-fire guns on the side were aimed at the British battleships in black holes.The two sides are far apart, and the ironclad battleships of the Huaxing Army are not even afraid of shells, where will they be afraid of bullets."
Release" "Release" ""With the order of the captain of the Huaxing warship, thirty rapid-fire guns were quickly fired one after another.The shells fell from the sky one by one like hailstones, and the British couldn't help but gasp as they watched the dense rain of bullets.Before they could react, the warhead hit the deck and the side of the ship with a "bang, bang, bang".Immediately, a wave of heat was set off, and the impact force almost overturned the entire hull.The remnant sun spread across the entire sea, accompanied by a thunderous explosion, and a series of fires rose into the sky, dyeing the sky red for a while.The British soldiers wailed for their lives, and some of the crew jumped into the sea directly from the deck, and were engulfed in fire in an instant if they were a little slower
