C2780 Defeat is like a landslide

The sudden arrival of the fleet had completely scared the French senseless, Huo Fu could not even speak now, he could only stutter out a few words, his eyes revealing a look of despair and terror.

Another ship had arrived! Why did another ship arrive at Zhiyuan?!

It was a slender body with 210 large caliber naval gun s on both sides. The armor on its body emitted a metallic luster and the jet black smoke sprayed out in the air like the breathing of an angry bull.

Countless soldiers let out cries of despair. One ship was enough to make them suffer, why did another come?

Boom! Boom! Boom! The Brandenburg continued to fire at the French Fleet, the armor piercing bullets broke through the frigate's weak armor, and tons of water roared as it poured in.

The high explosive projectile blew up the deck of the warship, and the soldier's body rolled and screamed as it fell into the sea.

It was not only the Brandenburg that was fighting, the remaining sixteen frigate s had formed a defensive formation around the Brandenburg, using their own bodies to defend against the French artillery.

In a short period of time, the sound of the cannons on the sea and black smoke filled the air. The Brandenburg s rushed to a close distance of over a thousand meters, Zuo Manduo turned the ship around and all three sets of naval gun s extended out from the right side of the ship.

Boom … Boom … Boom … The cannons continued to fire, and with each shot, the battleship would shake the sea to the point of splashing into thousands of pieces!

To a battleship, a distance of a kilometer could basically be used to shoot out bullets. Especially this kind of large caliber rifled cannon, its initial speed was extremely fast, even a distance of a kilometer would not be reduced by a little bit.

The Zhiyuan Warship's massacre scene repeated itself, and this time, the Brandenburg was not fighting alone. With other frigate s as meat shields, he did not need to rush into the battle at all, as long as he kept this distance, he would be able to reverse the situation!

"How do we fight?" Damnit, how do we fight? " Countless French soldiers cried out in despair.

"None of our cannonballs have any steel plates that can penetrate Zhiyuan Warship s... However, if the cannons of that person were to hit, that person would be fatally injured! "

"How do we fight?" Huo Fu, you stand up for us, tell us how should we fight this battle? "

The roaring soldiers were questioning their commander, but Huo Fu had long since lost his ability to speak, and could only watch as he killed his own warship.

Duke of Newcastle was also dumbfounded, "Get our marines to withdraw! Damn it, William I and Bismark are even deceiving us! "We've been deceived …"

"The Zhiyuan Warship actually has a sister ship! Are all our Intelligence s trash eaters? A bunch of trash! "Trash!"

"Send the signal to the Prussian, tell them that our marines are still at sea!"

Who would care if you were British or not. If you didn't want to take advantage of the situation, would you have suffered casualties?

The cannonball exploded in the sky above the sea, the shock wave swept everything away, the Floating Corpses on the sea dragged the English and French's Marines and charged outwards.

"Save me …" "Dammit …" They hadn't even shouted twice when the waves of air from the explosion pushed the living soldiers into the sea.

It was even more so for those crazy pieces of metal. The metal fragments were flying around like bullets. There was no pattern at all, and not a single person was left alive.

Chaos, utter chaos! The French Army's own formation was already chaotic. Ten ships that had withdrawn from the bombardment were currently blocking in front of the British Fleet. There was no way for them to provide reinforcements in time.

As for the remaining battleships, they lined up and shot towards the Spic Island under Huo Fu's command. They gave their T heads to the Prussian fleet for nothing.

The Brandenburg was now occupying the most advantageous position in the 'T' shooting tactics. The three 210-caliber cannons could 'take care' of 'these flying ships in all directions'.

In just 10 minutes of shooting, two cruisers from the French side had already lost their combat ability, and the life and death of more than 500 English and French Marines were unknown.

Even Huo Fu's flagship Glory had been hit by a cannonball. More than ten sailors and two 140-caliber naval gun were thrown into the sea.

"A good chance!" Now! Fight back, fight back against all the French army on the island! " Standing on top of the clock tower, Xiang Ying jumped up in excitement.

The French naval gun had no time to take care of the Spic Island, and there were more and more Prussian army that had landed, so their military might was much higher than the French Army, and they could only take this chance to increase their victory!

The battle had reached the point of a major counterattack. The number of Prussian army that had boarded the Spic Island was already close to twenty thousand. Moreover, there were still over ten thousand reinforcements that were waiting to be delivered to the mainland.

There were only about fifteen thousand French soldiers left on the island who could fight, and they were all exhausted.

When the Prussian army's bugle was blown, the morale of the French army completely collapsed. All the troops crumbled immediately and amidst the shouts, a large number of desperate French soldiers surrendered, their rifles raised high above their heads.

"I'm not fighting anymore!" She wasn't going to fight anymore! We won't be fighting this damn war! "

"Bastard, our navy has even blown up our own wounded barracks! We're not going to work anymore!"

Xiang Ying stood on top of the tower and shouted excitedly, "Ah, brother of the Zhiyuan Warship! Attack! Attack! Right now is the time to reap the rewards … Snatch the prisoners! The more she snatches, the better it is! "

"Hand over your weapon and don't kill!" Treatment of prisoners! Just shout this slogan... "Faster, faster, faster!"

"Hahaha …" We have to establish our own POW camp! Whoever captures this will get it, and in the future, you can exchange it for money at the negotiating table! "

All of the brothers in the town who were able to move rushed out as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Fatty Jin picked up a French's rifle and rushed out.

They charged at the most popular French army, shouting the slogan: "Do not kill, give it to the captives."

The army feared despair the most. Once the morale had been completely depleted and the soldiers' hearts had cooled down, no matter how brave the soldiers were, they would no longer have the determination to die.

Looking at the French army kneeling on the ground with rifles over their heads, tears of indignation flowing down from their eyes, they could only accept this reality in humiliation.

He knelt, he really knelt! Jin Sanshun rushed forward alone. The whole platoon of soldiers kneeled down and surrendered to him, their rifles raised high above their heads. All of their faces were ashen.

"Throw the gun and the bullets together... We, the Chinese, give preferential treatment to prisoners! Hand over your spear and don't kill! "

Jin Sanshun was extremely happy, he had never felt so elated in his life before, forcing a platoon of French soldiers to surrender, he had no idea that the rifle in his hands did not even have a single bullet.

A defeat like a landslide! French Army could be said to have given up all hope. Facing the enemy who held the absolute advantage, they no longer wanted to die for nothing!

Soldiers were never afraid of death, what they were afraid of was death being meaningless!

"Brothers, stop fighting!" They could not die for the sake of Huo Fu! "Live on, we are all witnesses. In the future, when we return home, we will go to the military court and sue him!"

"I'm not fighting anymore!" They're all done playing! "
