C477 South China Sea War (III)

When Zhou Yang found out that Fleet of the Manchu fleet actually had over two thousand large and small warships, he was surprised as well. However, when the airship sent detailed information about the Fleet of the Manchu fleet to Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang laughed involuntarily. He believed that the gigantic Fleet of the Manchu fleet would only be able to cause harm to less than two hundred fleets of Third Fleet. Even if there were too many small and medium-sized battleships, they would only be able to serve food.

The The Republic of Korea's fleet was large and small, with more than 2000 warships covering the entire sea area. There were actually more warships than the entire river south coast, if Qin Army wanted to gather such a huge fleet, she would probably need to gather all the boats to ferry them.

Although Zhou Yang could see that there were a lot of warships in the Fleet of the Manchu fleet, they did not have any ranged attack weapons on them. They did not even have a catapult like catapult, a commonly used weapon. Zhou Yang really couldn't understand how the Fleet of the Manchu fleet, whose battleship was of different sizes and had uneven strength, would use such a method to completely annihilate that garrison army on Kunlun Island. Zhou Yang even suspected that Pan Yue had been asleep at that time. Luckily Pan Yue had died in battle, otherwise Zhou Yang would have done the deed for him.

Zhou Yang began to deploy and attack. He ordered the Third Fleet to form a line and attack the enemy freely.

A single straight line offense formation was originally a taboo for soldiers. Even if the enemies managed to break through any of them, they would still be in danger of being separated. However, in Zhou Yang's heart, these Fleet of the Manchu fleet were not threatening.

From the direction of the wind, the southeastern wind was heading towards the north. At this time, the Fleet of the Manchu fleet belonged to Extreme Heaven Time.

When the forty odd warships from Qin Army formed a formation. One by one, the cannons raised their pitch-black cannons and began to reveal their fangs. Ready to drink the blood of the enemy.

Huang Yong, who was the captain of the fourth assault group of Third Fleet and had the number 017 warship, stood at the bow of the ship and said to the surrounding soldiers, "Fleet of the Manchu fleet has just committed a serious mistake. At this moment, they should use his main forces, which are huge, to ignore any casualties and get entangled with our ships. "But they are the most foolish of them to only use these small ships' irregular and systematic attacks. Their advantage of having more people and more ships is not fully utilized at all, so fighting back would be more beneficial for our fleet to strike down the morale of their entire fleet."

"They don't fear the power of our cannons nor are they afraid of sacrifice. Although their courage is excellent, this kind of bravery is the most ignorant." Just as Huang Yong was speaking, the battleship had already entered into the firing range of the cannons.

"Fire, warriors, let our cannons tell these ignorant barbarians that the consequences of offending the Qin State will be a nightmare that they will never be able to forget."

"Tap, tap, tap." A series of dull gunshots rang out, one after another, the muzzles of the cannons spewed out a stream of water from the many fleets in front of them.

Many of the unlucky ships were torn apart by the bombardment.

However, Fleet of the Manchu fleet's warships did not slow down or evade. Instead, they increased their speed and charged towards Qin Army.

"What do they mean, they want to sink our big warship with this kind of boat?" Huang Yong said in disbelief: "Could it be that they really planned to ignore all the casualties and come close to fight?"

None of the Qin soldiers s answered Huang Yong, they were faithfully performing their duties at their own posts. The gunner was responsible for aiming and revising the shooting coordinates. The gunner, on the other hand, quickly fired one shell after another, equipping the cannon in the shortest amount of time.

At this time, Toowoomba, who was on the flagship of the Fleet of the Manchu fleet, was anxiously watching the scene on the battlefield. Although he had always advocated for the perfect timing and extraordinary victory, under the situation where she was far behind in terms of offense, she had no choice but to make extraordinary moves. Toowoomba also knew that this so called Elite Armament was only to rely on the opponent's inability to wake up in time. If this move was discovered by the opponent, it would in fact not be worth a single cent.

The Toowoomba saw that more and more ships of interest were getting closer and closer to the Qin Army's battleships. He said excitedly, "Buddha bless me, Xie Tian appreciates it! Thank you very much, Buddha!"

At this time, Toowoomba suddenly roared loudly, "Attention all battleships, attack at full speed, act according to plan!"

Zhou Yang also felt that something was amiss on the battlefield. These small warships of the Fleet of the Manchu fleet were like moths to a flame, advancing one after the other, unafraid of death. Could it be that they were trying to win against our cannonballs. This time, the Qin Army was already prepared to take revenge. When he came here, all the warships in the Third Fleet were equipped with three times more ammunition than usual, so it was impossible for him to win in such a foolish way.

"What is the real purpose of the Fleet of the Manchu fleet?" Zhou Yang typed out a big question mark in his mind?

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Yang still could not figure out what was going on. He ordered the soldiers, "Inform the fleets and give them a good beating. We must get the enemy's intention out of them!"

Just at this time, many of the smaller warships in the Fleet of the Manchu fleet began to change their formation when they were about three or four miles away from the Qin Army Fleet Formation. The orderly clearing out the corresponding space, this kind of method would allow the Fleet of the Manchu fleet to have a wider space to turn around.

Although they were close, but because their small warships were nimble and fast, the Qin Army's artillery's accuracy was even lower.

Just at this time, a Qin soldiers suddenly shouted out, "Look, those small ships are not real people!"

Huang Yong quickly used his binoculars to confirm. Indeed, on top of this kind of small and medium-sized battleship in Fleet of the Manchu fleet, there were some models dressed in clothing that were similar to the sales window of the future generations. Their faces were smeared with the three colors of oil, equipped with the The Republic of Korea's army uniform, and the smoke caused by the cannonballs.

Originally, after attacking for such a long time, the Qin Army did not do any substantial damage to the Fleet of the Manchu fleet, what was damaged were just some small ships with low combat power.

No matter how stupid Huang Yong was, he knew that this was a plot by someone who was poisoned.

Huang Yong said: Damn it, quickly send the signal, notify General Zhou!

Three red signal bullets flew towards Zhou Yang's flag fleet. At the same time, the messenger on the 017 ship reported what had happened.

At the same time that Huang Yong gave the signal, the other warships in the Qin Army also discovered the strangeness of the Fleet of the Manchu fleet, causing Zhou Yang to suddenly freeze, "What the hell is the Poison Man doing?"

At that moment, these small battleships, attacking like moths to a flame, began to blaze one after the other. The wind caused the fire to burn very rapidly, and it seemed that a lot of combustible materials had been filled in and things had been set up to ignite the fire at a certain time. Although Zhou Yang had never seen a large number of warships using fire attacks, he understood that the Fleet of the Manchu fleet was using fire attacks.

The Fire Attack Technique was recently created by the Toowoomba to deal with the special characteristics of the Qin Army's artillery barrages, such as long range, great power, and strong attack power. What the Toowoomba did not know was that this tactic had already been used in China for more than a hundred years. The Crimson Wall War is one of the most famous battles in the history of Chinese military wars. It is also the most famous one of the three great battles in the period of Three Kingdoms.

Seeing the Fleet of the Manchu fleet's fire burning, Zhou Yang did not panic, he laughed: "My Great Qin's navy is not Master Cao's landlubber army, our fleet has not been linked together with iron chains, our fire attack strategy is doomed to fail!"

Zhou Yang ordered: "All the cannons focus on attacking the enemy ships in front of us, clearing out the space in front of us in the shortest time possible. All fleets release their energy and use the gaps between the Fleet of the Manchu fleet s to quickly penetrate, bypassing this small-scaled battleship that has no fighting strength, fighting against the Fleet of the Manchu fleet's main battleship!"

After receiving the order, the Qin Army warships started to pour fire on the small warships in front of them. The small warships were split into pieces under the intense artillery barrage, and very quickly, the Qin Army warships cleared up a large amount of space.

The No.049 gunboat was the first to come into contact with the enemy ships, and he rushed towards the gaps between the burning ships.

At this moment, an accident happened.

The hull of the 049, which was moving at high speed, suddenly began to shake violently.

The captain shouted, "What's going on?" Quickly go and find out the reason! "

"Captain, we seem to have hit a rock!"

"Bullshit, there are no reefs in this sea, how could it be a reef?"

After a slight pause, the 049 continued to charge forward like a mad bull. However, the two fire ships that were on both sides of ship 049 suddenly changed their course and crashed into it. Just then, the originally unmanned many fire battleships suddenly turned towards different directions as if they had a life of their own, and started flying towards the Qin Army's battleships.

Furthermore, as the warship moved forward, the fire boat actually stuck closely to its hull, moving forward at the same time. As the sails were already burnt up, the fire ships were not obstructed at all, the raging flames burned Cannon 049, and flames also erupted from the deck of the ship. Even if the crew wanted to save the fire, they could not approach it.

Zhou Yang saw that Cannon 049 was actually going to collide with a fire cruiser. He was so angry that he scolded out loud, "What a fool!"

Number 049 was like a magnet, attracting countless fire ships that had no people controlling them. Gradually, Number 049 was surrounded by the raging flames.

After battleship 049 was hit, six other battleships — 041, 025, 021, 047, 039 — also followed in the wake of ship 049 at the same time. A strange scene appeared on the surface of the sea. The three masted Qin Army warships dragged the burning wooden boats on both sides as they slowly moved forward. Those maggot like fire ships were tightly attached to the Qin Army's battleships, quickly burning them up. Right in front of him, many large and small fire boats were rushing over, chasing after him … Their bow.

At this time, Zhou Yang knew that his attack had hit 049, and it was definitely not by chance. There must be underwater iron cables connecting the fire ships. These fire boats are connected to each other. My god, it's like a net. Retreat, retreat immediately! Otherwise, our Third Fleet will face a calamity! "

It was almost impossible for a sailboat with that sort of power to reverse and reverse. It was a good thing that the heavens did not stop at the Qin Army. As the Qin Army was travelling against the wind, it was much easier for them to retreat than to advance.

The Qin Army used the three masts and the wheel pulp to move at the same time, quickly escaping the battlefield. But even so, the eight battleships, including the 049, 041, 025, 021, 047, 039, were all engulfed in flames.

Although the Toowoomba ordered his large main battleship to quickly approach, in comparison, their speed was still much slower than the retreating Qin Army's naval battleships.

The fire of Cannon 049 was now out of their control. The flames had already reached the high side of the ship, and even standing in the middle of the deck, the heat wave was still very hard to bear.

The sailors who had tried to use their poles to pry away the enemy fire ships had been working in vain for a long time.

Just then, the airship in the sky sent a signal to the surrounding Qin Army gunboats, "Abandon the ship and escape. There's a lifeboat at the back. "

Captain 049 was from Qingzhou, and his name was Yang Gensheng. He was originally a true landlubber, but now he had mastered the art of water. He was one of the thousands of warriors that survived in Far Ocean America. The fortyish man from Shandong smiled bitterly and said, "Brothers, General Zhou has ordered us to abandon the ship and escape. All of you should run for our lives now!"

"Captain, what about you?"

"I, I am the captain of ship 049, ship 049 has long been linked with my life, we will not be separated, you know?" The most glorious moment in my life was when I returned from the Far Ocean to America. His Majesty even personally poured wine for me. What sort of status does he have? How could he pour wine for me? Scholars say that soldiers die for their own friends, and I am a coarse old man. I do not understand anything, but I know that I will sacrifice my life for the great cause of His Majesty! " Li Yang said, "Brothers, quickly escape. I will disobey the military order today, and I am the only one left in my Old Yang family. If I'm not starving to death, I've been killed by the Hu people." "I am not afraid that the general will carry out martial law."

With that, Yang Gen Sheng ignored the dumbstruck soldiers, and adjusted the rudder, using all his strength to charge towards a large battleship that had nowhere to go.

At this time, one of the gunners said, "Brothers, remember that when you have time in the future, come visit me at the Garden of Souls!"

He picked up one of the shells and dropped it into the barrel. He adjusted his position and fired the round at a Mando warship.

This was the first time the Qin State's navy suffered a loss in battle since its inception. Eight gunboats and nearly three thousand naval officers were buried at the bottom of the sea. But although the Fleet of the Manchu fleet had won first, it was not easy for them to win either. This time around, they had lost close to 800 small warships and 4 large warships, with casualties above 2000.
