Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The Banshee was finished, the Pyrenees was about to be stranded too! The only battleships left in France were the flagship Glory s, the Wobang, Cecil, and the Komodo. These four battleships could still fight!

However, they were still unable to stop the Zhiyuan Warship's charge. Huo Fu could only watch as the Zhiyuan Warship charged towards him.

Huo Fu was terrified, at that moment, he was completely under control of his fear, and without saying a word, he immediately sent out Zuo Manduo's order.

The departure of the Glory caused the fragile battle formation to go out of control. The other three battleships did not know what to do, nor did they have Huo Fu's orders. They simply did not know how to defend against the enemy!

They thought that Huo Fu was about to change the array and avoid the impact of the Zhiyuan Warship, so they followed closely behind the Glory Zuo Manduo.

The three battleships drew an arc across the sea. Their strategy was very obvious, they just wanted to occupy the T head's shooting position again, and avoid the impact of the Zhiyuan Warship!

But the Cosmo was not so lucky. The commander did not understand Huo Fu's' brilliant strategy ', this stubborn and conservative madman. He still resolutely fired his cannon at the Zhiyuan Warship with his side!

Those 140-150 caliber cannons were pouring down with all their might, and people could even see the white lines created by the cannonballs flying through the rain!

The Zhiyuan Warship was already riddled with scars. After fighting for nearly two hours, more than 80 marines had been sacrificed and more than a hundred had been wounded!

The entire surface of the warship no longer had any intact areas. The explosion from the cannons left ugly scars on the surface of the armour. Some of the armor had been deformed by the explosions and had caved in for a full three inches!

Actually, according to the traditions of the British Navy, for a warship to fight to this extent, retreating was already not a shameful matter. To sink a warship and injure a warship was enough to allow a Zhiyuan Warship to occupy the limelight in the history of the sea.

However, the Zhiyuan Warship had hung the blood flag and used the most brutal method to start today's decisive battle.

He was scared that he was going crazy and that he was going to risk his life!

Huo Fu thought that he was the butcher who wielded a butcher's knife, but who would have thought that he would become the fish on the kitchen table!

The fates of the Pyrenees and the Banshee caused him to completely lose his courage. At the last moment when the Zhiyuan Warship was rushing towards the array, he actually began to pull apart the distance between them, Zuo Manduo!

However, Huo Fu was a person who wanted face too. He shouted loudly, "All battleships, Zuo Manduo, evade the enemy's cannons! We are not retreating, we are attacking from the back! "

"Open your eyes and take a good look! "Now that the Chinese have entered our encirclement, no matter how powerful this battleship is, once it enters our encirclement, he won't be able to escape!"

Shameless! Huo Fu's shamelessness caused all the officers who were proficient in naval warfare to feel extremely embarrassed.

Huo Fu was right, the Zhiyuan Warship was still trying to drill into her own path of death! The situation on the battlefield was very subtle. Six Iron-armored battleship s were positioned in an array in the northwest of Spic Island, dragging the array from the southwest all the way to the northeast!

This T-shaped shooting array perfectly blocked the charging Zhiyuan Warship!

And behind the shooting array, was the extremely chaotic cruiser primary matrix!

This time, the French really gave it their all. Not only were there 6 advanced Iron-armored battleship s, there were also 20 or so cruisers that combined the power of wind sail with the steam power s.

Just now, in order to defend against the British's sneak attack, they had docked in the outer seas of the Spic Island to protect the 30,000 strong Marines. This was the main force that had threatened the hamburger, and the Navy clearly knew that it was impossible to capture the hamburger by itself.

If he wanted to complete the mission in the French Emperor, he would have to rely on the cooperation of the army.

Therefore, Huo Fu had to ensure the safety of the Landing forces. However, there was one serious consequence to doing this, and that was to fight alone on this battleship.

If Huo Fu had not separated his forces from the very beginning, he would have had the battleships and cruisers form a shooting battle line to defend against the Zhiyuan Warship's sneak attack.

Perhaps the outcome of today's battle would be completely different!

Although Zhiyuan Warship had fierce firepower and thick armor, they were still not at the level of what they were in the first battle. Four inches of armor was unrivalled in this age, but the strength of their structure did not reach a heaven-defying level.

It had to be known that during World War I, the thickest armor of the battleships had reached a terrifying 11 inches. That was a 30 centimeter thick armor!

That defensive power was truly indestructible and strong!

The current Zhiyuan Warship was far from having such a terrifying defensive ability. If the French Fleet were to focus all of her firepower on him, even a four inch armor would have been breached!

However, there was no medicine for regret in this world. It was because of Huo Fu's mistake in commanding that caused the special army to be scattered, giving the Zhiyuan Warship a chance to surprise attack!

However, it was clearly a mistake by Huo Fu, yet he changed his mind, and said that he wanted the Zhiyuan Warship to fall into his trap?

According to the situation of the battlefield, this was indeed the case! Once the Zhiyuan Warship pierced through the battleship's position, and the Glory completed the rear route where Zuo Manduo had raided the Zhiyuan Warship, then it would form a cruiser with the battleship that surrounded the battleship!

It wasn't wrong to say that he had fallen into her trap, but she couldn't be so shameless! [You clearly didn't do this on purpose, but the Chinese people came in with their own fanaticism, didn't you?]

Using two expensive battleships as bait? You, Huo Fu, are really willing! How exactly are you going to explain this to French Emperor?

But the current Huo Fu did not care about all this. As long as he could sink further, it would not matter how much of a sacrifice he had to pay!

Huo Fu seemed to be an ideal person to mess around in the government. Just based on his shameless enthusiasm, he was not someone that normal officials could compare with!

Xiang Ying did not care what Huo Fu was thinking, in his eyes, there was nothing he could do but to increase the outcome, and his eyes had locked onto the lone Cosmo!

The Cosmo was a light battleship, its discharge was only about 3000 tons. Normally, this type of tonnage battleship belonged to the type that could be used to turn around easily, if he wanted to escape, he would at least have to run faster than the Glory.

It was a pity that the of the Cosmo was a fanatical soldier, he was a hardcore fan of the Bonaparte Family, and even more so, a hardcore militant!

In the eyes of such people, war was the only way to resolve conflicts, and victory was the destiny of all soldiers! For the glory of the France, for the glory of the French Emperor, he would truly dare to die!

"Keep firing! The enemy is riddled with holes, we … The brave Cosmo s will become the final sword to pierce through the enemy's heart! "

"Fight to the end!" "I won't retreat!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! The cannons of the Cosmo rumbled, causing smoke to pervade the sea, but he was completely unable to stop the Zhiyuan Warship from advancing!

In the blink of an eye, the Zhiyuan Warship had reached a distance of ten meters from the Cosmo!

At this moment, all the sailors on the Cosmo deck saw the black muzzles of the Zhiyuan Warship, as well as the terrifying smile of the god of death!
