The blood flag was no longer an ordinary flag, it was a Chinese legend!
Although most Europeans did not know what this flag represented, there was a group of people who knew the origins of this flag among the well-informed Military and the political world.
The blood flag was born along with the Chinese. In the bloody battle that Xiao Letian had to liberate the Ryukyu, this flag that had his blood sprayed on it encouraged the hundred thousand Chinese to fight against the army of the Island King.
A group of unarmed commoners, encouraged by the recognition of the ten flags, completely shattered the cruel rule of the Shimadzu Family, and successfully made the Ryukyu the birthplace of the Chinese people.
On these ten sides, due to the condensed blood of many warriors, especially those that were stained with Xiao Letian's blood, they were honored as blood flag s, and even became holy objects in Chinese Army!
Among them, the biggest blood flag was personally carried by Xiao Letian during the war, and it was precisely that flag that was stained with his most blood!
It was a flag that could not be left behind by the leader. Although there was no law to determine the right of this flag, all Chinese soldiers knew that the blood flag represented the supreme authority of the leader.
These ten flags could only be used by the Elders like Xiao Letian or the Four Heavenly Kings.
Because the rise of the blood flag meant the start of the final battle. Under this banner, there was only death and no retreat!
In the past in Shiqiao uplands, the blood flag had once floated up, but in the end, the Austria surrounded Xiao Letian with heavy soldiers.
That battle shocked all of Europe's Military s. At that time, there were even comments like "Chinese are good in guarding"!
blood flag was a type of tradition, but Xiao Letian wasn't willing to let this tradition become an iron law. This was because this flag was simply too berserk.
Prudent using this berserk spirit was Xiao Letian's principle, but he had underestimated the fanaticism of the Chinese soldiers, especially the navy. They did not have the authority of the leader to create their own blood flag!
All the participants of Rangers had given their blood, and Xiang Ying had even pierced through their palms with his blade, sprinkling all their blood on the flag!
The Navy also had their own blood flag. Once the blood flag was raised, the flames of war were already on the verge of burning down!
The Duke of Newcastle knew what was good for him, he had long heard of the blood flag's legend. When he saw the flag flying in the storm with his own eyes, his soul was shocked, he knew that the Zhiyuan Warship wanted to burn together with the French Fleet!
"These Chinese people did not even think about going back alive. They wanted to sacrifice themselves in exchange for the biggest loss to the French Fleet!"
"The terrifying Xiao Letian! How did you train your army? They want to destroy the pride of the French in a single battle! "
"They want to forge their own souls in one battle. They want to make a name for themselves in the entire world! They are telling the world that the Chinese are not to be trifled with! "
"Using the life of a ship and the declaration of a legendary battleship as the wager, we just need to demonstrate to the entire world … Just how much resentment and grievances are they hiding in their hearts!? "
Duke was right, whether it was the navy or the army, every soldier's heart was filled with resentment and grievance, which was a sorrow for the decadence of China's national destiny for thousands of years!
Great powers, once standing at the peak of the world's people, but how did it become like this? It actually became what the Europeans called a yellow monkey and a pig with a tail!
Again and again, the alien invaders had failed to invade. This had seriously damaged the nation's self-confidence and pride. If this went on, this nation would probably produce a huge negation of its own civilization!
This was the scariest part of it. When the Chinese take a negative attitude towards China's thousands of years of civilization, then that means that the Chinese civilization has already died in the hearts of these people!
The more such people there were, the worse China's national destiny would be. If everyone denied it in their hearts, then the kingdom's destruction would be inevitable!
Of course, this situation was not clear yet. The Chinese people who had not experienced the A'Meng period could still retain some of their pride. However, the trend had already formed and the danger was getting closer!
Xiao Letian could feel the existence of this trend, so how could his senior direct disciple Xiang Ying ignore it? Compared to Xiao Letian's calm state, these youngsters were even more impatient and agitated!
This naval battle was just a good opportunity for the British to observe the new warship!
To the French, this was a duel to exact vengeance on the Zhiyuan Warship!
To the Chinese soldiers, this sea battle was a desperate counterattack to wash away their humiliation and restore their national confidence!
A wise man would be able to tell at a glance who was the strongest amongst them all!
It was because of this that Xiang Ying raised the blood flag, who was determined to die. He had already swore together with all the officers and soldiers on the ship that only death awaited them today!
With my blood, I will sacrifice Xuan Yuan! This was the fate of all Chinese soldiers!
At this time, the speed of the Zhiyuan Warship had already reached its limit of 18 knots, and without hesitation, it charged towards the French battle formation, while Huo Fu's fleet of battleships were in chaos due to the loss of Banshee s.
The Pyrenees was retreating towards the shore. Its motivation was getting weaker and weaker, as if it was about to reach the reef!
The Banshee, on the other hand, was in an even more miserable state. It was already half buried in the ground, and the ship had already turned 30 degrees counterclockwise.
There were still no other cruisers to fill in the two gaps in the battle formation. The speed of the Zhiyuan Warship could definitely pass through the formation before they could even react!
Huo Fu looked at the Zhiyuan Warship that was getting closer and closer, and he could not suppress the fear in his eyes anymore. The Glory he was on was at the location of the Zhiyuan Warship, the moment the Zhiyuan Warship passed through the array, the distance between the two ships would not exceed 100 meters!
This distance could no longer be described as the distance between them and the bayonet of the sea.
At a distance of a hundred meters, both sides could hit each other without even needing to aim!
But what kind of power was the Zhiyuan Warship's cannon, and what kind of power was her own cannon? Huo Fu was very clear about this in his heart!
"Damn it!" Zuo Manduo! Dodge the enemy's bombardment! "
At the most critical moment, Huo Fu gave the most selfish command yet. He actually let his own warship ignore the chaos within the primary matrix, while Zuo Manduo!
He was afraid of the three main cannons, because at that moment, none of the battleships in France had the ability to withstand such a huge cannon!
One was a peerless existence! Carrying smoke and wounds all over his body, the Zhiyuan Warship charged into the French Battleship, the three main cannons and all the rapid fire gun on both sides opened fire at the same time.
At that moment, the Zhiyuan Warship at the sea was like a fighting hedgehog, instantly exploding all the spikes!
