Steel Dynasty - Chapter 965

[Chapter 959: Beating]

“Attack!”

The tranquil sea surface was broken by Li Wei’s loud order. Under his order, all the warships rushed out from behind the mountains lying in the sea at full power.

At this time, twenty warships full of British soldiers were sailing towards them. They were the British warships looking for opportunities to land.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the Chongqing warships, these British warships were obviously frightened. They immediately ordered the warships to adjust their hulls in the direction of the wind to fight.

“The warships of Great Chongqing are moving downwind, which is very beneficial to us. Kill them!” On the leading British warship, the captain of the warship issued a combat order.

As a warship, he is very familiar with the ocean currents and wind direction. This time they chose this time to go north because both the ocean current and the wind direction are very beneficial to them.

In the battle, they will definitely be in the upper hand, which is conducive to their T-grabbing operations.

Like him, other warships also reacted quickly. They adjusted their hulls in the direction of the wind. The wind force gradually turned their straight hulls into sideways, so that all their guns could be aimed at the enemy.

It was just that the once step-by-step procedures had an accident when they turned. They thought that their twenty warships could smoothly turn into a “one” and form a confrontation with the warships of the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

However, the Yu warships that originally appeared in the “one” formation actually moved east of them at an alarming speed. In this way, their “two” formation of counterattack was completely shattered.

Soon, they will fall into a disadvantage and become a sideways T, which is fatal to them, because they cannot fight back and can only be beaten in vain.

When the British battleship fell into chaos, Levi’s face showed a confident smile.

There is no doubt that the British battleships are very clumsy, and he will not be stupid enough to use twelve battleships to shoot at an enemy who far outnumbers himself.

After all, the British who had the guts to attack them were probably also equipped with explosive shells, so they were shooting at each other without any skills. The only thing they were competing for was whose warship was sunk first.

Therefore, if they fight like this, they will lose and they will not be able to take advantage of the power of the steam engine.

So Levi ordered to avoid direct confrontation with the British warships, and instead used his maneuverability to circle around on the sea to grab the T.

His strategy was very effective, and soon the sail warships, which relied solely on wind and ocean currents, were defeated in this maneuver. The twelve warships quickly seized the upwind direction from north to south.

Not far away, Wilson was desperately rushing to support him. He witnessed the entire process of the Great Chongqing warship’s flexibility. This scene made him completely lose his composure.

For hundreds of years, they have always been able to occupy a favorable position in naval battles and eliminate their opponents with their rich experience, but now the young navy of Dayu has easily occupied a favorable shooting position just by relying on these black smoke-belching warships.

It’s just that his battleship was too slow. Before they arrived, the deafening sound of cannons suddenly sounded. The battleship of Dayu was seen shaking, and layers of ripples were shaken out of the water.

White smoke floated from the Great Chongqing warship, and the British warship that had been chasing the Great Chongqing warship happened to become a vertical line in the shape of a T at this moment.

“Boom, boom, boom…” Twelve warships opened fire at the same time.

In an instant, the British warship that bore the brunt was hit by artillery shells fired by the Chongqing Kingdom. With a huge explosion, the planks of the British warship flew horizontally and flames shot into the sky.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

After the first round of shooting, the Great Yu warship fired a second time soon. Twelve warships fired more than 700 shells at the British warship.

The explosions were like drum beats, and the flames formed a long dragon on the sea. The Chongqing warships fired at the British warships while sailing quickly on the sea.

The British warships kept chasing the Great Yu warships looking for opportunities for bombardment, but they were always unable to catch up with the Great Yu warships.

“Hit me hard.” Levi shouted, and fired two salvos. About twenty British warships were hit by the shells and burned into fireballs.

Under his order, the battleship’s gunner continued to load the shells, and the third, fourth, and fifth rounds of shelling began.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Under the dense rain of bullets, the British warship suffered heavy damage again.

However, the British who were trapped in extreme passivity seemed to be aroused. They no longer fought as a whole, but suddenly became free to fight.

The remaining British warships no longer formed an array, but suddenly changed their courses. The six warships were in different directions. In this way, there was always one of them facing the warships of Great Chongqing from the side.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Soon, a British warship found a firing position. This warship had been hit by the artillery shells from the Great Chongqing State and was burning, but it still refused to retreat.

“Dong dong dong…”

Sixty shells swept across the sea, and a moving Great Chongqing warship was unable to dodge and hit seven shells in a row.

As these shells exploded outside the ship, Levi finally got first-hand intelligence that the British were now using open shells as well.

Seven holes were blown out of the side of the Great Yu warship that was hit, and flames burned in the holes. The most terrible thing was that the explosion of a shell was exactly where the steam engine was, which caused damage to the steam engine.

“Oops.”

Levi discovered this situation, and he immediately asked the semaphore on the mast to send an order, requiring the damaged warship to use sails instead, and then the wind force withdrew from the battlefield.

Because a damaged warship will only become a living target for the enemy and will also impede other warships.

“Keep fighting.” After giving the order, Levi continued to command the fleet to bombard the remaining British warships.

When the second battleship was lost, they completely annihilated twenty British battleships. The British soldiers wearing redwood on the battleships suffered heavy casualties, and the surviving soldiers could only struggle in the sea.

“Captain, the British support fleet has arrived.”

After gathering twenty warships, the warships led by Wilson were about to enter their range.

“There are so many people who are not afraid of death.” Levi spat.

The twenty warships just now were actually not purely British, but also mixed with French warships, because some of the warships were flying French flags.

In addition to the French and British, he also saw Spanish flags.

“Even if we fight until there is only one battleship left, we must protect the military port and the shipyard, and let these Westerners who think they are superior understand our power.” Levi shouted loudly to the soldiers on the ship.

“Fuck you,” the soldiers shouted.

Now they are all inspired with blood, and have lost the fear of death in their minds, and they only want to kill the enemy.
