Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 755
[Chapter 755]
“This is impossible!” The
blue sea was instantly shrouded in flames and smoke.
Blood was poured into the water like red ink, spreading in the sea.
Wolff held the side of the boat tightly, his pupils dilated, and he couldn’t help murmuring.
In his mind, the explosion of the battleship would only happen when the ammunition depot was hit directly by the hot bullet.
Only occasionally a battleship was hit is possible.
But it is absolutely impossible that seven warships will be hit at once.
Looking at the bodies of British soldiers floating in the sea and the soldiers struggling for help, Wolf’s heart sank to the bottom of the sea.
“Boom boom boom…” The artillery battle between the two sides continued.
After losing six sailing warships and one steam ship, the intensity of artillery fire of the British and Japanese fleets obviously lost to the Yanzhou fleet.
Moreover, the Japanese artillery is still used on the Japanese warships, which have insufficient range and power.
“Boom!”, “Boom!”, “Boom!” After
the second round of shelling, five more warships exploded, turning into a mass of burning flames.
These include a British sailing warship, a steam ship, and three Japanese sailing warships.
Of the thirty sailing warships, after two rounds of bombardment, only twenty remained, and ten steamships remained.
This time, Wolfe witnessed the entire process of shelling.
Shells roared past him, most of them falling into the sea.
There wasn’t even a single blazing round in these shells.
But their battleship exploded again.
Three of the battleships were blown to pieces, and two battleships were emitting thick smoke and flames.
Although it did not sink, the hull seemed to have been bitten by a shark, and a piece of the side hull disappeared. More than a dozen cannons fell into the sea, and the rest of the cannons were crooked, completely losing their combat effectiveness.
“What the hell is going on!” Wolfe broke out in a layer of cold sweat.
Since he joined the navy, he has fought against Frank’s warships at sea, as well as against Franco robots.
But he had never felt such a sense of powerlessness.
At this moment, they seemed to be natives, facing the strong guns of the Western Lands.
“Stop the bombardment, crash into them, and fight them on board.” Wolf roared.
Continuing to shell each other, they will wipe out the whole army, and there will be no escape from them.
When he was ruthless, he was absolutely as popular as the army on the battlefield.
At his order, the steamer turned its bow and dragged the sailing warship towards the Yanzhou Fleet.
“Hmph, they’re in a hurry.” On the Leting, Zhou Yi brushed off the sawdust on his body, with the corners of his mouth raised.
In this naval battle, rifled guns and cone-shaped bombs showed terrifying combat power.
For him, after this battle, smoothbore naval guns and round solid bullets will be eliminated from the navy.
However, although they gained a huge advantage, their warships also suffered considerable losses.
The main mast of a sailing battleship was hit by the opponent’s shell and broke.
Fortunately, this battleship is towed by a steamship, otherwise it will be paralyzed at sea, and the next thing is to be sunk.
The side hulls of five other warships were pierced and water leaked, but the crew immediately made amends, so the problem was not serious.
In addition, three warships were penetrated by the hot bullets. Fortunately, they did not hit the gunpowder barrels, but they also caused fires. After the crew extinguished them, they were still smoking.
“Indeed, this is a desperate style of play.” Gong Ying wiped the blood on his face.
A flying sawdust scratched the left side of his cheek.
A fierce light flashed in Zhou Yi’s eyes, and he said: “I won’t give them a chance, keep firing!” The
other party stopped shooting at them, but rushed towards them.
This is tantamount to aiming the bow of the ship at them, completely giving up firepower, just trying to get close to them, in order to kill one by one.
“Boom boom boom…” Zhou Yi’s order was issued, and the thirty sailing warships roared again.
Cannonballs flew towards the British warships and Japanese warships rushing towards them.
“Boom!” A battleship was hit by a conical shell and exploded.
“Boom!” “Boom!” Then came two more ships.
The number of sailing warships in Britain and Japan continued to decrease.
When they entered within 200 meters, Zhou Yi ordered the 18 sailing warships to stay where they were and bombard them.
He commanded twelve steamships and towed twelve sailing warships to turn sideways.
At this time, there were only six sailing warships towed by steam ships in the British fleet, and only eight sailing warships in Japan.
“It’s over, it’s over.”
At the Edo Wharf, the Watanabe case has been paying attention to the naval battle.
Seeing the British battleship and the Japanese battleship exploding continuously, his whole body became stiff.
In his eyes, the invincible British fleet was sunk by the opponent without any power to fight back.
Now, the warships of Japan and Britain are less than half of each other’s.
Although several of the Yanzhou warships seemed to be damaged, they did not seem to affect their combat power.
“General, it is impossible to win the naval battle. We must prepare to resist the invasion of King Yan.” Yamada Haruno said.
The British fleet and the Japanese fleet were defeated, what will King Yan do next?
There is no need to think about this question at all.
Hearing about the Watanabe case, he slowly closed his eyes, and he said: “Concentrate all the troops of Dongying to the important coastal cities, and recruit Dongying men over the age of fourteen to join the army. Dongying will never surrender to King Yan!” Indeed lost.
But the main reason for the failure is that they were negligent, did not hide the fleet in the inland river, and did not expect that King Yan would have a steamship.
But Yan Wang won this time, and may not be able to win the next time.
This British fleet in the East is nothing more than a second-rate British fleet stationed in the East.
And he knows that Britain has a huge fleet of more than 500 warships.
Britain just looked down on Dongtu and didn’t put this fleet into Dongtu.
Furthermore, Britain’s steam industry in the West is undoubtedly the first.
And this is just Britain, the steam industry in Sam’s country is also booming.
In addition to Sam’s country, there are Frank, Ross and other powerful Western countries.
When they all set their sights on Dongtu, King Yan’s good life will come to an end.
Therefore, he will continue to fight against the King of Yan until the arrival of reinforcements from the Western Turks, so that they can see the value of Dongpu.
This is the only chance for Japan to dominate the East.
What’s more, he led the alliance against Yan and the alliance of Dongtu, and he participated in the civil strife in Dasong, and Koryo fought against King Yan again.
How could the King of Yan let him go, the only way left for him was to resist to the end.
Even if the Japanese jade is broken, it will not hesitate.
Just as he was thinking, there was another violent explosion on the sea, and three of Dongpu’s warships were on fire.
The Yanzhou Fleet and the British Fleet are still circling at sea.
The British Fleet wanted to bite the Yanzhou Fleet like a snake.
However, the Yanzhou fleet repeatedly threw off the British warships, trying to bypass the opponent’s flank.
In the process of chasing each other, the 18 sailing warships in Yanzhou kept looking for opportunities to bombard.
The Japanese warships and British warships were hit from time to time and fell into flames.
