Chapter 1118: Crash on Orders!

The sea breeze swept across the sea, and the warships broke through the waves.

Just as Zhou Yi judged, the entire Western Tu fleet was preparing for a boarding battle.

Seeing that no matter how they fired, they could not sink the twelve strangely shaped warships of Dasong, Ma Fuer was almost crazy.

At this time, he finally came to his senses and they were fooled again.

The Dasong fleet was not nowhere to escape, but they had no intention of escaping from the beginning.

He thought that the coalition fleet was the hunter and the Dasong fleet was the prey.

But now he finally understood that hunters sometimes appear as prey. .

But when he realized this, it was too late.

The joint navy suffered heavy losses, and more than half of the warships were destroyed and severely damaged.

He thought about escaping.

But the distance between them was too close, only one thousand meters.

Turning the bow to escape would make them bear the opponent's artillery fire in vain and lose more warships.

Moreover, when the enemy's warships rushed past, he keenly observed that the speed of the enemy's warships was very fast, even faster than their steamships.

This meant that they could not escape.

So, after thinking for a while in hatred, shock and anger, Malfoy decided to resort to a boarding battle with bayonets.

Apart from this, he thought there was no other way to win this war.

Moreover, their number of warships was still superior, and boarding battles were obviously more advantageous.

After figuring this out, he was eager for the other side to rush over.

Therefore, he also ordered the fleet to speed up and sail towards the Dasong fleet.

"Let's decide the outcome today!" Malfoy drew out the general's sword.

He was no stranger to boarding battles, and could even be said to be very familiar with them.

When he was young, as a naval soldier, he often encountered enemy warships.

When mutual bombardment could not destroy the other side, his captain would often choose to get close to the other warships and decide the final outcome with a boarding battle.

Today, he faced this moment again.

While Malfoy was preparing for the boarding battle, the Dasong Navy was also preparing.

The flag signalman issued a series of orders on the rear deck.

After receiving the order, the soldiers on each warship picked up the Qin-style rifle, loaded their bayonets, and hung grenades on their waists.

Although they were naval soldiers, they also learned the bayonet skills of the army soldiers.

The naval soldiers on the Jinling were the first to prepare.

At this moment, they stared closely at the approaching Western warships.

"Don't be too nervous." Song Xiang appeared on the deck at this time, smiling, without any nervousness before the boarding battle.

Because they were not prepared to fight a boarding battle with the Westerners honestly.

Using their own disadvantages to attack the opponent's advantages, no Dasong naval general would be so stupid.

Otherwise, he would not have to go back to Yancheng to atone for his sins to His Majesty the Emperor, and could just jump into the sea.

In fact, they let the soldiers load their bayonets more to clean up the mess and prevent a small number of fish that slipped through the net from jumping onto their warships during the collision.

Collision!

This is their next tactic.

The biggest advantage of their ironclad ships is their thick skin and flesh.

The collision tactic was one of the tactics they practiced after receiving the ironclad warship.

Under the high-speed collision, their ironclad warship was enough to smash the sailing warship into two pieces.

"Yes, General." The soldiers shook the Qin-style rifles in their hands.

Song Xiang nodded, looking at the Western Tu warships getting closer and closer, his expression suddenly became serious, "Prepare for collision!"

After that, he returned to the cockpit and reported to Zhou Yi on the soldiers' preparations.

"Next, let them see what an ironclad warship is!" Everything was ready, and Zhou Yi's eyes flashed fiercely.

There is no doubt that the Western Tu fleet did not choose to escape, but chose to rush over, which was determined to destroy the Dasong fleet.

In this case, neither of them needs to pretend.

Who will win, the men will see the truth!

Thinking of this, he also drew his sword and prepared to participate in the fight.

With both sides determined to fight to the death, the fleets of both sides finally collided head-on.

At this time, Zhou Yi could clearly see Ma Fuer's face, and Malfoy could also clearly see Zhou Yi's face.

But then, Malfoy's face changed from a twisted look full of hatred to a look of terror before death.

He thought that the warships of both sides would collide violently, and then stick together, and the boarding battle would begin.

But in fact, the six ironclad ships, sailing at high speed, crashed into the Western Turkish fleet, just like a sharp knife piercing into tofu.

In Malfoy's eyes, the deck of the flagship he was riding on was completely smashed by the ironclad ship.

The tip of the ironclad ship pierced all the way to the position of the rudder.

Under the violent collision, the soldiers of both sides were unstable and swayed left and right on the ship.

But the warship of Dasong still had the momentum and stared at the flagship.

After sailing smoothly, the Western Turkish navy soldiers were about to rush over the broken deck and climb onto the warship of Dasong.

Suddenly, there was another huge shake, and they fell to the ground again.

It turned out that the Dasong warship hit the Western Turkish warship behind them against their warship.

Then one after another, the Western warships collided with each other.

"This is impossible, their warships are made of iron."

In the chaos, Malfoy no longer cared about commanding the battle, but stared at the warships of Da Song like a madman.

After careful observation, he finally realized that the hull of Da Song's warship was made of iron.

That’s why no matter how hard they bombarded, the other warships were unscathed.

The reason why the other side suffered again in the current collision.

“They are wearing a layer of iron armor, just like soldiers wearing tight armor, while we are only wearing a layer of footwear.” Malfoy murmured.

In an instant, he felt that he had no strength in his body.

He understood that they had lost this naval battle.

And they would lose completely!

When he was desperate, the bow of the ironclad ship continued to rush forward, and the broken flagship of the coalition forces could no longer support it and broke into two pieces in the collision.

Malfoy and the officers around him all fell into the sea.

“Boom boom boom…”

When the warships collided, the soldiers of the Dasong Navy did not do nothing.

They either raised their guns to shoot the soldiers rushing towards their bows, or threw grenades at the other warships.

In addition to the Jinling, the soldiers on other ironclad ships did the same.

The scene was extremely tragic under the rampage of the six ironclad ships.

The ironclad ship hit the Western Turkish warship in all directions.

The sailing warship towed by the steamship also got the upper hand.

The ironclad ship hit the front, and they took advantage of the chaos of the Western Turkish warship to fire continuously from their side guns.

At a distance of almost face to face, the conical shells had the greatest effect.

Under rounds of bombardment, the Western Turkish warship was directly blown to pieces by the conical shells, flames soared into the sky, and wood chips flew everywhere.
