C1239 Peak battleship

Deng Shichang and the others felt their hearts stop beating, the blood flowing in their bodies had frozen.

Behind him was a sea of flames that rose into the sky. The Russian fleet's army formation was instantly penetrated, and no one could stop the Zhiyuan Warship's footsteps.

It was a battle of attrition, a battle of attrition! The Diamond that was still showing off its might a moment ago was already in a mess. The other frigate had its armor and steel plate knocked over.

Facing the Zhiyuan Warship, there was also a small cannon boat that weighed more than four hundred tons, and because it was too late to dodge, it directly collided with the Zhiyuan Warship and brushed past the side of the ship. The surface of the sea was filled with ear-piercing crunching sounds, as well as the loud sounds of iron armor being broken. The entire side of the small gunboat's iron armor was lightly scraped off by the gigantic Zhiyuan Warship monster, and its entire body was scraped off.

"This is …" Our... "Battleship …" The students couldn't even speak properly, but in less than three seconds, they burst into cheers. "Long live!" We have to win! "

The fishermen who were trying to escape in the sea were all dumbfounded. Even though they were commoners who had never seen the world before, they could still differentiate between the strong and the weak on the battlefield. The arrogant look in the eyes of the battleship that carried the Dragon flag s shocked them so much that they forgot to swim to escape.

"Long live the Emperor! "Beat these foreign devils to death …" The commoners did not know what a prime minister was. In their simple minds, the only one who could hang a Dragon flag was the emperor.

EdStefanski felt his eyes going dizzy. Only now did he understand that Molière's information was not exaggerated at all, the information inside was not even as terrifying as the actual data.

What kind of heavy armor was this? Only by being able to let his entire body pass through under the simultaneous bombardment of ten thousand cannons could he be hit. Yet, not a single shot could penetrate his armor. Iron Turtle!

The 210-caliber cannon was already very terrifying, but he didn't think that this battleship would have so many close range weapons. After firing its full firepower, it was like an iron hedgehog suddenly exploding all the spikes on its body.

In the history of the human race, steel steam power warships did not have battleships from the very beginning. At that time, the design of the battleship was still considered multi-purpose and multi-skilled.

Battleships, as the name implied, were a type of main battleship that used battle queues to fight enemies. This was a type of weapon system that was formed along with the latest ideas of naval warfare.

Actually, it was a bit simpler to say that battleships were battleships that lined up on the surface of the sea with the advantage of quantity. They fired concentrated fire from far away large caliber cannons, defeating the enemy with firepower, accuracy, and density.

Battleships relied on powerful main cannons and heavy self-armor. Their super strong defensive capabilities allowed them to ignore most of the small caliber weapons and their huge main cannons allowed them to beat up small children from afar.

That was why battleships usually did not care about close range weapons, and people never thought about letting these huge ocean steel beasts go to sea, bayonet. Usually, before the enemies even got close, the battle would already be over with a barrage of cannons.

Even if you are close to them, you shouldn't be afraid. The weapon systems of those small caliber are at most capable of tickling battleships.

However, it would still take decades for battleships to truly rule the ocean. It would take at least 30 to 40 years for the British monarchy to establish the prototype of a battleship, and for the Fearless Ship to standardize it.

At this moment, the Zhiyuan Warship was actually a representation of the previous era of the Fearless Battleship.

Not only did Zhiyuan Warship possess a powerful 210 main cannons, they also had various kinds of side cannons from the small caliber. Since the beginning of the design, they had already considered long and short ranged attacks, and from the very beginning, Xiao Letian had always used Zhiyuan Warship as a multi-pronged player.

It was precisely because of the combination of ranged and close combat with Zhiyuan Warship that they had such a violent tactic for the bayonet of the sea. Xiao Letian knew that close combat like this would definitely become less and less in the future.

The Ocean bayonet was always more shocking than boring long-range shooting. Moreover, this kind of tactic had another important purpose, which was to make Xiao Letian and the Tongzhi Emperor appear in front of the Russian.

The two ships had only intersected for about ten metres or so recently, so it was impossible for the Russian to not see Xiao Letian and Emperor Tongzhi at such a close distance. The dazzling dragon robe, crown, and specially made uniform for the prime minister that was so handsome that it would fall to pieces.

Everything has proven to the Russian that 'We are here, the two most powerful people in Asia are here'!

Venia's Captain's hat had fallen off somewhere long ago, and he was staring at the bright yellow dragon robe like a chicken. Even a fool would know who that tiny figure was.

"It can't be fake. The Chinese won't dare to let a person wearing a dragon robe! That is the emperor of the Great Qing … My God, what have we done? "What the hell kind of war is this …"

"Issue the flags!" Tell the Commandant what's going on here, we're in trouble! We can't keep fighting. This will cause global political unrest! "

EdStefanski saw the flag language sent by the Diamond, he did not say a single word, his entire body turned into a statue, and the most unbelievable thing happened just like that.

"Molière... You... What do you suggest? Are we really going to kill an emperor today … "

Molière held his forehead with his hand and painfully sighed, "Why didn't you listen to me? Why didn't you listen to me! I told you this long ago, we can't beat this battleship, and now there's another Emperor of the Great Qing, we have no chance of winning! Do you really dare to kill the King? "

We can only choose from this. Our advantage is that there are too many of them, so we can let Captain Venia lead the Right Wing Fleet to charge towards Taiwan. We will directly head north, and watch the Zhiyuan Warship chase that way. "

"Then, let our supply ships and troop carrier follow the safe side and quickly leave the battlefield … The fleet that were targeted by the Zhiyuan Warship immediately split up, encircling the Zhiyuan Warship from top to bottom, engaging in chaotic battle to let them be at odds with each other … "

"Time, what we need to fight for now is time …" "Even if we lose a few battleships, as long as our main forces can break out, our big strategy won't fail …"

"Now we must take the initiative to use tactical defeat in exchange for a strategic victory, and use a small loss to exchange for a final great victory!" Captain, stop hesitating … "

EdStefanski painfully closed his eyes. As a general of a warrior race, he was unwilling to make this choice, but what other choice did he have?

While he was at a loss over this, the situation on the battlefield suddenly underwent a drastic change, and something even stranger happened!
