Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 754

[Chapter 754 The Battle of Liwei]

“There is no other way, we can only fight to the death.” After a brief panic, Wolfe slammed his fist on the table.

Compared with the naval battle he was about to face next, he was more shocked that Yanzhou had the ability to manufacture steamships.

Even their western lands were first explored 20 years ago, and the technology has only matured now, and they have begun to manufacture steamships in batches.

Although he is not the person in charge of building the ship, he knows it very well.

A steamship represents the level of a country’s steam industry.

Therefore, the appearance of twenty steamships is equivalent to telling him that King Yan has the same steam industry as the Western Earth countries.

“We will definitely win. Your British fleet is the most elite fleet in the West. You have hundreds of years of sailing experience, and your soldiers are honed in the flames of war.” comfort to myself.

After Dongpu’s sailing battleships were launched, he had to admire them almost every day before he could fall asleep peacefully.

He fantasizes that he can annihilate the fleet immediately and dominate the East Sea.

But he did not expect that King Yan’s fleet would arrive suddenly.

And carried twenty-four steamers, twice as many as the Britons.

Most importantly, it was too late for them to hide in the river.

It can only fight against the King Yan fleet.

“You’re right. Our British fleet is the most elite fleet in the world. I won’t embarrass Britain and damage the glory of the fleet.” Wolf stood up, gnashing his teeth, “How dare King Yan challenge the most powerful British fleet?” Challenge, we will let him taste the taste of failure, for hundreds of years, the enemies who challenged us all died of hatred.”

After speaking, he got up and went to the port.

As soon as the Yanzhou Fleet was discovered again, soldiers from the British Fleet and the Dongying Fleet boarded the battleship.

At the same time, under the command of the commander, it aimed sideways at the Yanzhou Fleet, as if it was ready to engage in battle.

When Watanabe and Wolf arrived at the pier, the two sides were still confronting each other.

“Lieutenant, they have 12 steamships and 18 sailing warships going to the mouth of the Edo River. It seems to prevent them from hiding in the inland river.” Adjutant Wolf came over.

After a pause, he continued: “The rest of the Yanzhou fleet has no intention of attacking, and even retreated a certain distance.”

“What does this mean?” Hearing about the Watanabe case, he was puzzled.   When Wolfe heard this, his face became more gloomy. He said: “They are provoking

us, and they want to fight us with the same number of warships and defeat us.”

consistent with theirs.

“It’s really arrogant, but this is an opportunity to defeat.” Watanabe was overjoyed.

Wolf is not as optimistic as the Watanabe case.

He fought against the Yanzhou fleet, they are not reckless people.

Dare to confront them fairly, they must have something to rely on.

But he couldn’t guess what their reliance was.

However, he seems to have no choice but to fight.

So he said to the adjutant: “In this case, we will fight!”

Boarding the flagship, he led the fleet to the Yanzhou fleet, followed by Dongpu’s sailing warships.

At this time, Watanabe raised his heart to his throat.

He only hoped that the Britons could destroy this damn King Yan fleet, otherwise Dongpu would be over.

at the same time.

On the battleship Laoting, Zhou Yi was observing the British fleet.

Seeing the British fleet coming towards them, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Originally, he could launch a sneak attack and catch them by surprise.

However, this time is the battle of Yanzhou Navy.

After this battle, the Yanzhou Navy will have the final say on the seas of the East.

Therefore, in this battle, he will defeat the Britons in an upright manner.

Let them pass this news back to Tianzhu, and even to Britain, so that they can understand one thing, the sea in Dongtu belongs to the Yanzhou Fleet.

“Get ready for battle!” Zhou Yi gave an order as the British fleet was getting closer.

At present, his fleet is opposed to that of Britain.

The bow of the ship faces the bow of the other party.

Entering the range of 500 meters, the British fleet began to turn the bow and point the side gun positions at them.

At the same time, Zhou Yi also gave the order to turn, and the Yanzhou fleet also turned, aiming their guns at the opponent.

This time, they were not pulled down when they turned, and the sail warship towed by the steamer completed the turn almost at the same time.

The sailing warship without the tow of the steam ship is slower, which is about the same as the turning speed of the Japanese warship.

“Boom boom boom…” The fleet was traveling in two parallel straight lines, and both sides opened fire almost simultaneously.

Black projectiles flew out from the British battleship, raining down on the position of the Yanzhou Fleet.

The shells of the Yanzhou battleship flew over at the same time.

However, most of these shells are round, and a small number are conical shells.

After being bombarded by British warships, the Yanzhou Fleet flew sawdust.

On the British battleship, Wolff frowned.

A formation change showed that the performance of Yanzhou’s steamships was no different from theirs.

This made him even more unbearable.

Looking at the flickering flames of the Yanzhou battleship, he and his adjutant went down to the cabin.

For him, the next thing is to compete who can last longer.

However, just as he sat firmly in the cabin, he suddenly heard several loud explosions.

Wolf was startled and immediately climbed out of the cabin.

I saw a steam ship 300 meters away from me was raging with fire, and there were countless sawdust flying in the sky. It seemed that the whole ship was blown up.

In addition, behind his battleship, two sailing battleships also exploded, and half of the battleship disappeared.

On the other hand, four of the Dongying warships were on fire, and thick smoke rose into the sky.
