Chapter 772: One-Sided

"This is impossible!"

The blue sea was instantly covered by flames and smoke. Read

Blood poured into the water like red ink and spread in the sea.

Wolf held the side of the ship tightly, his pupils dilated, and he couldn't help muttering.

In his mind, the explosion of the warship would only happen when the ammunition depot was directly hit by the hot bomb.

It was possible that a warship was hit occasionally.

But it was impossible that seven warships would be hit at once.

Looking at the bodies of British soldiers floating in the sea and the soldiers struggling for help, Wolfe'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 a steamship, the density of the artillery fire of the British and Japanese fleets was obviously lost to the Yanzhou fleet.

And the Japanese warships still used Japanese artillery, which had insufficient range and power.

"Boom!", "Boom!", "Boom!"

In the second round of artillery fire, another five warships exploded and turned into a burning flame.

Among them were a British sailing warship, a steamship, and three Japanese sailing warships.

After two rounds of bombardment, only twenty of the thirty sailing warships were left, and ten steamships were left.

This time, Wolfe witnessed the entire process of the bombardment.

The shells whizzed past him, and most of them fell into the sea.

There was not even a single incandescent shell among these shells.

But their warships exploded again.

Three of the warships were blown to pieces, and two warships were emitting thick smoke and flames.

Although they did not sink, the hull was like being bitten by a shark, a piece of the hull on the side disappeared, more than a dozen guns fell into the sea, and the remaining guns were crooked and completely lost their combat effectiveness.

"What the hell is going on!" Wolfe broke out in a cold sweat.

Since he joined the navy, he has fought with Frank's warships and the Portuguese at sea.

But he has never felt this sense of powerlessness.

At this moment, they seemed to be natives, facing the powerful ships and guns of the Western Land.

"Stop shelling, ram them, and engage in a boarding battle with them." Wolfe roared.

If they continue to shell each other, they will be wiped out, and they can't escape.

In a rage, he is absolutely as fierce as the army on the battlefield.

Under his order, the steamer turned the bow and dragged the sailing warship towards the Yanzhou fleet.

"Humph, they are anxious." On the Leting, Zhou Yi dusted off the wood chips on his body and raised the corners of his mouth.

In this naval battle, rifled guns and conical shrapnel 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 have gained a huge advantage, their warships have also suffered considerable losses.

The main mast of a sailing warship was hit and broken by the opponent's shells.

Fortunately, this warship was towed by a steamer, otherwise it would be paralyzed at sea, and the only fate next was to be sunk.

The side hulls of five other warships were pierced and leaked, but the crew immediately made repairs and it was not a big problem.

In addition, three warships were pierced by hot bullets. Fortunately, they did not hit the gunpowder barrels, but they also caused fires. After the crew put out the fire, they were still smoking.

"Indeed, this is a life-and-death style of fighting." Gong Ying wiped the blood off his face.

A flying wood chip scratched his left face.

A fierce light flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes, and he said, "I won't give them a chance, keep firing!"

The other side no longer fired at them, but rushed towards them.

This was equivalent to pointing the bow at them, completely giving up firepower, just to get close to them, in order to kill one by one.

"Boom boom boom..." Zhou Yi's order was issued, and thirty sailing warships roared again.

One by one, shells flew towards the British and Japanese warships that were rushing over.

"Boom!" A warship was hit by a conical shell and exploded.

"Boom!" "Boom!" Then there were two more.

The number of British and Japanese sailing warships continued to decrease.

When they entered within 200 meters, Zhou Yi ordered 18 sailing warships to stay in place and continue to fire.

He commanded 12 steamships to tow 12 sailing warships to the side.

At this time, the British fleet only had six sailing warships towed by steamships, and the Japanese fleet only had eight sailing warships.

"It's over, it's all over."

At Edo Wharf, Watanabe An had been paying attention to the naval battle.

Seeing the British and Japanese warships constantly exploding, his whole body stiffened.

The invincible British fleet in his eyes was sunk by the other side without any ability to fight back.

Now, the warships of Japan and Britain are less than half of the other side.

Although several Yanzhou warships seem to be damaged, it does not seem to affect the combat effectiveness.

"General, the naval battle cannot be won. We must prepare to resist the invasion of King Yan." Yamada Haruno said.

The British and Japanese fleets were defeated, what would the King of Yan do next?

There was no need to think about this question.

Watanabe heard this and slowly closed his eyes. He said: "Concentrate all the Japanese troops in important coastal cities and recruit Japanese men over the age of 14 to join the army. Japan will never surrender to the King of Yan!"

They did lose this naval battle.

But the main reason for the failure was that they were careless and did not hide the fleet in the inland river, nor did they expect that the King of Yan would have a steamship.

But the King of Yan won this time, but he may not win the next time.

This British fleet in the East is just a second-rate British fleet stationed in the East.

And he knew that Britain had a huge fleet of more than 500 warships.

Britain just looked down on the East and did not deploy this fleet in the East.

Moreover, Britain's steam industry in the West is the first.

And this is just Britain, the steam industry of Sam is also booming.

In addition to Sam, there are also powerful Western countries such as Frank and Ross.

When they all turn their attention to the East, the good days of King Yan will be over.

Therefore, he will continue to fight against King Yan until the arrival of Western reinforcements to let them see the value of Japan.

This is the only chance for Japan to dominate the East.

What's more, the alliance against Yan and the alliance in the East were led by him, and he participated in the civil strife in Dasong, and Goryeo fought a war with King Yan again.

How could King Yan let him go? The only way left for him is to resist to the end.

Even if Japan dies, it doesn't matter.

As he was thinking, another violent explosion sounded on the sea, and three Japanese warships were on fire.

The Yanzhou fleet and the British fleet were still fighting on the sea.

The British fleet wanted to bite the Yanzhou fleet like a snake.

But the Yanzhou fleet repeatedly shook off the British warships and tried to bypass the opponent's flank.

In the process of chasing each other, the 18 sailing warships of Yanzhou stationed in the original place kept looking for opportunities to bombard.

The Japanese warships and British warships were hit from time to time and fell into the sea of ​​fire.
