"There's no mistake in intelligence. The Chinese Empire has guns that can fire continuously. It's terrible."
On the deck, he was also paying attention to the situation of the imperial fleet. When he noticed the continuous strafing weapons on the deck, his heart sank.
"The Chinese empire is terrible. As long as they have this kind of weapon, we can only be slaughtered in the battlefield." Feilin said.
Corbancy nodded. "That's why we have to get their advanced weapons at all costs and send them to China for imitation."
Just then, he suddenly noticed that the lights of the flagship of the imperial fleet had gone out. He said happily, "great, their commander is on this warship. Let the soldiers focus on attacking this warship. As long as their flagship is captured, they will be in chaos."
At this time, Philip also saw it. He looked at corbance with some admiration. This famous Spanish Navy General is worthy of being called Spain's maritime fortress.
In the face of such a disadvantage, they are still playing equally, which is very rare.
"All Gunners attack the sixth warship from the southwest!" Film gives orders.
”Boom, boom "
after the order was given, a round of salvo fire was suddenly launched, and one by one the blooming bullets went straight to the armored ship king.
At the same time, other warships gradually tilted their firepower on the king's armored ship, and under the cover of warship gunfire, the small boats in the sea quickly approached the king.
Corbancy looked at the scene with a sneer, and then his eyes turned to a frigate in the southeast, which was on the edge of the imperial fleet.
He said: "immediately send soldiers to attack the first warship on the right. Now that the enemy's flagship is under siege, other warships will be eager to get out of the siege and ignore the warships on the edge to take the armored warship!"
"That's a good move! "Feilin said excitedly. He asked the messenger with the lantern to give another order at the edge of the deck to let some boats approach to the East.
On the king, the Marines were constantly injured and killed by the enemy's shelling. After the searchlight went out, it seemed that all the enemy's shelling was concentrated on the king. From time to time, the enemy's flower bombs were thrown on the deck.
The intensive attack caused heavy losses to the Marines on the warship.
"General, it's too dangerous here. You have to go back to the cabin." Liu Chen told Yue Yun that the king was the core of the armored ship, while Yue Yun was the core of the king. Once Yue Yun had an accident, even if he won the sea battle, he would have been defeated.
Yue Yun's expression was cold. He said: "I thought that once the armored ships came out, the Qingzhou fleet would be able to run rampant. This naval battle really taught us a lesson. The emperor was right. We should despise the enemy strategically, but we must pay attention to the enemy strategically."
Having said that, he said to Liu Chen, "we can't trust too much to order the monarch to turn around and take advantage of the steam engine warships to annihilate the enemy warships. We suffer a lot from this kind of uneven shooting. "
while they were talking, the soldiers brought up the spare searchlight. After some installation, the searchlight came on again.
Liu Chen looked at the more than 60 sailing warships burning on the sea. Although the enemy's wooden ships were approaching them, the enemy suffered heavy losses in this kind of shelling. After all, relatively speaking, the bearing capacity of the armored warships was much stronger than that of the wooden sailing warships.
Nodding, he immediately asked the searchlight to issue the command to change the formation of the fleet. This time, they will destroy the enemy warships during the voyage.
And let the little wooden boats float in the sea.
After the order was given, the armored ships immediately set sail again. Taking advantage of their speed, they kept a distance from the wooden boat, but kept within the range of the machine gun.
This kind of kite flying method soon makes the soldiers in the boat tired. The steam engine warship relies on the power of the steam engine, while they rely on human power.
After noticing the change of the imperial fleet, cobanxi's face dropped. Because it was a sneak attack, the imperial warships were moored at the beginning, which was conducive to their approach.
But now their commanders were obviously aware of the problem, so the warships pulled anchor and set sail.
The most abominable thing is that although these armored ships are bulky, their speed is not slow. If they are windsurfing warships, their boats can catch up with them, but these iron monsters run too fast, and the boats can't catch up with them at all, but they are hanged and beaten by them.
Feilin's excited look also disappeared. They are now in a very embarrassing situation, that is, they can only be beaten and can't fight back.
"Boom boom..."
Moving armored ships continue to fire at windsurfing warships, rotating turrets to allow them to attack the enemy in any direction.
"65, 70, 80..." When every enemy warship is hit, Liu Chen will report the number to Yue Yun.
Out of the entanglement of the boat, their attack seemed to be more comfortable, and the balance of war tilted to them again.
"Don't let go of one, send ten warships to bypass the flank and block the Ganges estuary." Yue Yun said.He ordered ten armored ships to leave the line and head straight for the Ganges.
The movement of the imperial fleet was watched by cobanxi. He slowly put down his telescope and sighed heavily, "it's not my poor command, but the armored ships of the imperial fleet are too strong. If we don't have armored ships, I'm afraid the era of European dominated maritime hegemony will never come back."
Although he was extremely unwilling, he had to bow his head in the face of the 80 sailing warships burning in the sea. He understood what cobanxi meant.
"Retreat!" Corbancy gave the final order. The attack of the imperial warships did not stop, and their fleet was still losing. Once henghekou was blocked by the imperial warships, they could not escape. Relying on the speed of the armored warships, they would be sunk one by one.
”Yes. "There was a tremor in film's voice.
This order is very cruel, because it means that they will abandon the soldiers in small boats in the sea, but he can't help but carry it out. It's better to keep some warships for future use than to destroy the whole army.
Thinking of this, he asked the messengers to give an order to retreat. The remaining 70 warships had been looking forward to this order for a long time, and now they were desperate to sail to the Ganges estuary. On the
King's throne, Yue Yun smiled a triumph. For him, the remaining warships were not enough to be a thing in the plate. After this war, the India's route to Europe was the Imperial Navy has the final say.
Even if they hide in the Ganges, they won't be able to escape their control in the end.
"Starting tomorrow, the warships will cruise along the Indian Coast in groups of three, sinking any supply vessel from Europe. “
