Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

"Zhiyuan! It's that damned Chinese warship! "

Almost at the same time, all the commanders of the French battleships recognized the legendary warship that they hated with their teeth, a paradox that completely defied modern shipbuilding.

It was this unique battleship that had sneaked into the North Sea defense line, burned and looted French merchant ships on the Atlantic Ocean, and even brazenly attacked the most important colonial Dakar of West Africa.

The French navy had not taken advantage of this warship once since. None of the old-fashioned warships were his match.

The flames of vengeance burned in the hearts of every French naval soldier, as shown by the name of the flagship of this expedition!

The warship that Huo Fu commanded was called the Glory, but just before this warship was renamed, another warship of the same name was blown up.

It was the Glory, the battleship that was sacrificed on the Atlantic by the Zhiyuan Warship!

The battleship that Huo Fu commanded was originally called Avenger. Originally, they wanted to take revenge for the war in Trafalgar, but they couldn't do so because they had no other choice. In the end, they had to choose China as their target of revenge.

The war had begun. When they heard that the Zhiyuan Warship had returned, the entire French navy was shocked. They were so anxious for revenge, they even changed the name of the Avenger to the Glory!

They wanted to avenge the Glory that had been sunk earlier. It was as if this new Glory was sailing on the sea, which meant that the previous failures did not exist.

This was the spiritual opium, but there were times when people needed it. Right now, the entire society in France was filled with firewood, and even a spark could ignite a fire of revolution.

The French Emperor couple had to use all they had to suppress the impulse of the citizens to revolution!

Of course, Huo Fu knew about this, he shouted loudly, "Give up our plans, we only have one goal: sink to the distance! "Revenge …"

The six battleships, even the injured Pyrenees s were ignited with flames of vengeance. All the naval officers and soldiers joined forces to control the battleships and began to form a formation.

Just as the entire fleet was spinning in a clockwise motion, the cannons at the bow of the ship that could spin and fire had also begun firing!

In this era, the caliber of the main cannons in the French Navy was around 140 to 150. These caliber cannons were definitely heavier than those in the Army, so these French were very confident.

"Fire!" Free shooting! It went as deep as the abyss! "

Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound of the cannon roared, and the water pillars that were created by the explosion rose and fell around the Zhiyuan Warship, causing Lin Zhen's entire body to be drenched.

"Hahaha …" It's such a fun and enjoyable night. It's the night of killing! "

"Bring the rope and tie me to the main cannon!" "Let me have a good time today!"

The meter tall waves of the North Sea had reduced the accuracy of both sides' artillery battles. The first shot just now had contained the Pyrenees's miracle, it was very hard to repeat.

If he wanted to increase his accuracy, he would have to learn from the sail battleship of the sixteenth century. He had to rush to the nearest place, the bayonet and try to limit his range to less than a kilometer.

A thousand meters was a very long distance, but it was the equivalent of fighting with a white blade in a sea battle. No matter how poorly trained the naval gunners were, at this distance, their accuracy would be greatly increased.

"Fire!" Shoot! "

"Just the gunshot and ammunition funding provided by the Führer exceeds two million silver taels. F * ck, the number of training bullets you guys fired has already far exceeded this amount!"

"So many of these silver mountains have been smashed out, I just want to tremble today!" Shot out our ammunition stockpile... "Prepare for armor piercing bullet!"

Xiang Ying coldly watched as Lin Zhen commanded the battle in front of the main cannon. He had already given the order to shoot freely, so all the rights to fire were given to him.

Don't let me down, brother! How many enemy battleships we can sink before we sink will depend on your ability!

"Keep accelerating!" Control the range to within 800 meters! Shoot all our ammunition! "

Crazy, all the Zhiyuan Warship s and soldiers had gone crazy, the four hundred Death Soldiers were already prepared to sacrifice their lives for their country, none of them thought of going back alive!

Their only goal was to kill more enemies, to unleash their might and prestige, to completely cripple the French team that was invading from the sea.

The hydraulic reloading machine began to rotate and reload under the control of the sailor. The armor piercing bullets filled with sand from the warhead was pushed into the barrel. In order to increase the firing rate, this ammunition was actually loaded with 1.5 times the gunpowder.

At this time, the opposing Pyrenees with raging flames was precisely a burning torch in the sea, so in the darkness, it was the most eye-catching!

Lin Zhen suddenly calmed down, his eyes looking straight to the east, his hands clasped together, "May our ancestors bless you! I wish my soul awaken! "

"Fire!"

BOOM! BOOM!

The 210-caliber cannon fired in unison. There was a three-second gap between the muzzle of the cannon. Two armor-piercing bullets were fired.

The ammunition was not loaded with high explosive, but was firmly filled with fine sand. This increased the weight of the cannonball and its kinetic energy.

With the addition of a large dosage of medicine packs, the whole pellet formed an indestructible rigid object, relying on its kinetic energy and sharp external appearance, relying on its own mass to penetrate the enemy's steel plates.

This was the initial shape of the armor piercing bullet! Back in the afternoon of the Armored War, when someone saw out the sand from the artillery shells, they thought it was because they had embezzled gunpowder. This was pure exaggeration.

high explosive projectile and armor piercing bullets had different effects. One was to kill the enemy and destroy the equipment on the ship, and the other was simply to pierce through the armor.

At this time, the distance between the Zhiyuan Warship and the Pyrenees was more than 1400 meters, but because of the huge weight of the armor piercing bullet, the trajectory was very straight and stable, the accuracy rate was slightly higher than the high-explosive ammunition.

In the air, two white lines pressed down on the water as they flew past at a high speed, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the Pyrenees.

With a swoosh, the armor piercing bullet dove into the water at a distance of four meters away from the battleship, almost brushing the edge of the armor as it dove into the endless sea.

The other armor piercing bullet received the blessing of the ancestors. Its trajectory was slightly higher than the previous one, and it was like water one meter away from the enemy ship.

The fully powered solid artillery shell under the water smashed onto the metal plate with a bang!

At that moment, the ears of all the officers and soldiers of the Belgian battleship seemed to explode with a muffled thunder as a droning sound rang out. The deck under their feet also began to tremble from the pain.

"Is it concentrated? "What about the damage?"

"Reporting to Captain... He had been shot in the coal bin! The sea is gushing in! "

"Damn it!" "Protect the boiler!"
