Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

"Fire!" Continue firing... Shatter these damned boats... "My God, what kind of ships are these?" As the gunners ordered the cannons to fire, they watched with their mouths agape as the small boats that refused to retaliate swarmed towards them.

The cannonballs fired like crazy, one after another, the fishing boats were hit, but what was shocking was that those boats weren't smashed into smithereens as usual, but they were always able to blow up clumps of sand with their cannons, then slowly turn silent at the bottom of the sea.

"What are those ships carrying?" "It's pitch black like a big stone …"

"That's not right, there's no pattern to the boulder …"

"Look, some boats are tied to each other …"

The Ryukyu continued to advance while facing the fire from the Russian Army's warships. Every boat that was sunk by the explosion made the other captains and sailors even more bloodthirsty and violent.

"Ol 'Three, take care …" You have become a god, the Temple of War is eating incense … Remember to leave a good mouth for me, your big brother! "

"Brothers, charge!" Immerse the boat into the bay, block the east end of the strait... People die while birds rise to the sky, they will not die for tens of thousands of years! "Fight them to the death …"

The fleet was getting closer and closer, and the eastern sky was also getting brighter and brighter. When the fleet was about 500 meters away, He Mansiji finally saw clearly what was on the boats.

"My God! These Chinese people want to block the strait exit, they want to trap us in the strait! "

He Mansiji's terrified voice changed, the scariest possibility appearing in his mind. "These Chinese people know the hydrological situation here, they know everything under the sea, and they want to create artificial reefs to sink our ships!"

"I've fallen into his trap!" She had fallen into a trap! Launch the cannons, fire the cannons … "The whole fleet sped up, and rushed out of the strait …"

He Mansiji's mouth was full of bitterness, he was extremely frustrated by her previous judgement. Previously, she had let all the battleships hide inside the Strait in order to rely on the narrow three-kilometer-long opening to block the Zhiyuan Warship.

But who would have thought that this Xiao Letian would actually not follow common sense! How could he think of making artificial reefs? Isn't this way too venomous?

As a high-ranking officer in the navy, He Mansiji was well aware that the hydrology and intelligence of the different seas were the top secret of the various countries. The domineering nature of the British Empire was the powerful Royal Navy, and the reason why the Royal Navy was powerful was because of the golden channel that was being controlled globally.

A sea map! The hydrology of each sea area is the important information of naval operations. It was just like how the army had to have Military Maps, understand the terrain, and understand the drawing of contour lines.

The battles at sea are more complicated. You have to know where there are reefs, where there are reefs, how deep the water is, how fast the undercurrents are … It was not a joke to say that whether or not there were any legends in this region of the sea, such as the one concerning Bermuda, was one of the information gathered.

Naval operations are too complicated, not to mention you have to understand the climate of this sea, such as wind speed, typhoon season, is it heavy rain or something... And all of this is the secret of the navy.

Xiao Letian had been running the Western Pacific for many years, and all those Sail battleship were training ship s. Hydrographic exploration is an important part of training.

The depth of the water, the number of bright and dark reefs, and the distribution of the complex sea currents were all recorded in detail in the Amami Oshima's long and narrow channel.

The position that He Mansiji chose to guard was originally a region with many reefs. However, this kind of sea area had a common characteristic: it wasn't too deep, after all, even the reef could be seen, and the other regions that continued to exist under the same sea, their average water depth would only be twenty to thirty meters.

Such a depth could definitely be sealed with two thousand boats. Once the huge concrete pieces with four claws entered the water, they would quickly intertwine and form an endless artificial reef.

It was already too late, the Iron-armored battleship needed time to advance from stillness to high speed, and these Ryukyu s would definitely not give them time.

Five hundred meters passed in the blink of an eye. Although the cannonballs had sunk one fishing boat after another, more than two thousand battleship's worth was not something that seven battleships could wipe out in a short period of time. Soon, the first batch of ships reached the strait, less than fifty meters away from Svetlana.

A piece of flesh was wiped off the captain's face, and fresh blood flowed down like a waterfall. However, he seemed to have no idea of the pain and was smiling instead.

"Light the explosives!" He had finally reached her destination … I, Grandpa, am the first one! " The sailors on the deck lit the fuse, and the flame began to sizzle down toward the ship.

"Boss, hurry up and leave …" Our mission is completed! " With that, the sailor jumped into the sea and began to swim towards the safety of the sea.

The captain spat towards the tall Russian fleet in front of him. "You just have to wait for the kill to come …" After saying that, he jumped into the sea with quick steps and dashed five or six meters away with a single dive.

With a muffled boom, the explosives blasted a huge hole in the bottom of the boat. The seawater rolled into the bottom of the boat, causing the whole fishing boat to emit a cracking sound before slowly sinking into the sea.

At this time, the two fishing boats beside the ship had already ignited their explosives, and the captain and the sailor, with urinal blisters on their waists, started swimming desperately towards a safe place.

The three ships were tied to each other with brown ropes, so as soon as they sank into the water, they became entangled with each other. Dozens of giant concrete slabs attached to chains and brown ropes began to collide with each other, soon burying themselves in the sediment, raising a storm of fish in the deep sea.

"Explosion!" Everyone, let's blow up the boat! " The howls of the water ghost above the sea rose one after another. A series of deep explosions sounded out, and the surface of the sea was filled with small whirlpools created by the sinking ships.

As the sand on the seabed was swept up, the originally dark blue ocean water suddenly became turbid, and at the same time, it was also He Mansiji's eyes that became turbid. Her eyes reddened, and tears almost flowed out.

He Mansiji watched helplessly as a frigate that did not slow in time crushed itself against the concrete block. The sound of it scraping the bottom of the boat was extremely ear-piercing, and the officers and soldiers on the boat were so frightened that they were running all over the place, even forgetting to fire their cannons.

The wood hull iron armour's craftsmanship was actually just a design for sail battleship to make the transition to a pure Steel battleship. Although the carapaces of these battleships were ostentatious, there was no piece of iron armor under the ship to protect them.

The thick oak tree could not break through the sharp cement, and very quickly, the frigate began to pour a large amount of water into the underground cabin.

He Mansiji painfully covered her head with her hands and closed her eyes, "The entire fleet is reversing... We can't break out of the encirclement. We have to fight for the Western Channel entrance, so we have to tell the fleet commander that we have fallen into a trap. We have to leave right now … There's still time! "

Before he could finish, the warship lookout hand suddenly pointed towards the east and shouted loudly, "Another fleet from the enemy has arrived! Captain, look! "
