Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C421 The sudden arrival of the fleet

Ever since Xiao Letian teleported, he had learnt his lesson. He swayed in the wind as if he was drunk, the Dragon Lord on the deck frantically rushed up, wanting to grab hold of him. However, they did not expect Xiao Letian to grab onto a rope three or four times, making him safe again.

Phew... Xiao Letian let out a long breath. His back was already drenched from this, and he swore that he wouldn't be playing at such heights for the rest of his life. But before the sweat on his back could evaporate, he looked up and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Holy sh * t, how can he let us live …" Xiao Letian started crying as he said this, he pointed towards the distance and said, "Look, another fleet is here, looks like they are even warships …"

At this time, the position of the merchant ship was located in the gap between the two warships. People could finally see the situation on the starboard side of the French army.

Previously, Xiao Letian had personally experienced the difference in volume between a warship and a commoner ship. Once the heavy cruiser sails were opened, the entire surface of the sea would cast a huge shadow, shrouding Xiao Letian and the others within.

Tall poop buildings lay like a mountain over the heads of the people, and the huge sails shaded the sun from the small hearts of the people. At that time, there was a feeling that the whole world was covered by battleships.

It was under this psychological pressure that everyone's attention hit right in front of them. Not one of them was paying attention to the entire sea area.

Although Xiao Letian almost went into an accident, he was able to jump out of his emotions due to the stimulation. It was due to his scattered emotions, as well as the gap that appeared when the French warships were dislocated that caused him to notice something strange.

From the northwest of the ocean, a faint black line was moving towards here. Although Xiao Letian had never been a sailor or sailor, he knew that it was impossible for them to be travelling in groups of whales.

Is it not enough for the French to send three battleships after me?

Hearing Xiao Letian's shout, the sailors all started to climb up the mast. However, the sail of the cruiser was simply too high, even if lookout hand was standing at the top, they still could not see through him.

And now that the third cruiser had been moved to the starboard side of the battleship, the two ships had only been able to observe for three to four minutes.

At this time, the people stopped shouting and the war of words had stopped. Even if Xiao Letian did not shout, everyone could feel the strange atmosphere in the French Fleet.

"The French are breaking away from us? What was going on? Do you think that fifty meters is too close, and that firing a cannon won't be a martial arts victory? Do you really want to take turns firing from a few hundred meters away, using us as targets for practice? "

"Shut your crow's beak. Look up and take a good look. Even a fool would know that the French are on the starboard side and aren't targeting us at all …" "I was in the navy before, so I'm very sensitive to the murderous aura on the battlefield …"

Time passed minute by minute, and in this strange atmosphere, the third cruiser also passed the merchant ship. Everyone's eyes suddenly opened as the situation on the sea became clear.

"Oh, God! It's a fleet... There's a fleet from the northwest... Too far away for me to see... But the scale must be quite large... "This is too shocking, to be able to pull out such a black shadow even from so far away …"

Portugal's merchant ships and fishing boats were in a state of ecstasy. "Long live..." "Thank God …" Everyone could see that even if the French were so hostile and murderous, these ships would not be allied with them.

Xiao Letian held the rope tightly in his hands. He could already guess the answer just by thinking about it, this was the Northern Sea of Europe, this was the gateway to the North Atlantic. There was only one fleet that was as arrogant as a ruler here.

"Brothers, tidy up your uniforms and take out your best postures …" The one who came from the opposite side was the British Navy, the strongest weapon in this era for the human world … "

"We... A group of weaklings from East Asia who had just started out were going to experience the might of the world's strongest today … All of you, straighten your chests, so that I won't lose face … "

"Oh …" An Englishman! Royal Navy... " Everyone on the deck shouted as they all stood up, each and every one of them looked towards the west with their eyes lit up. Everyone became excited, even Xiao Hexin who had his legs injured had also struggled and stood up with his crutches.

Soldiers were always sensitive to power. As the most elite among the Chinese Army in this era, Xiao Letian's new army were all filled with curiosity towards the strongest warrior in the world. They had all kinds of questions in their hearts, but in the end, they all came to a conclusion.

"What does this fleet that can fight all over the world and establish a strong British Empire look like?"

Yes, even Xiao Letian was very curious, the lead ink in the history books, and the old drawings, simply could not support Xiao Letian in constructing a strong fleet in his mind.

It would be worth it just to see this "look" of Xiao Letian's to suffer a little grievance.

"In 1588, at the port of Calais, France, you used your weakness to contend against the Spanish Armada. A wild victory ended the domination of the sea by Spain …"

"In 1665, Rostovs, the sea coachman at its peak, Holland, caused a huge blow to the British Fleet. From then on, he gave up on building a great navy and became a sea coachman …"

"In 1798, 11 French battleship were destroyed and 5,000 French soldiers were killed at Cape Abulkir. This battle also contributed to the creation of the second anti-French alliance …"

"In 1805, Trafalgar, this is the most classic battle in the history of the Royal Navy, the great ocean war of the sail era. It can't even be described with the word 'glorious' anymore, it's practically a miracle … When Napoleon joined forces with Spain, almost all the naval forces of the two nations were gathered together. However, under the command of the legendary admiral Na Erxun, the joint fleet actually didn't have any chance of winning at all … "

Xiao Letian's blood boiled, he was muttering to himself, "I'm finally going to see your true appearance. To be honest, I'm not ruthless to you British people, even though you burned down the Yuan Ming Yuan six years ago …" "However, the strong shouldn't be hated. Their only use is to follow the past, learn from him and eventually surpass him …"

"I, Xiao Letian, am not a weakling. I would not fall into a weakling's pitiful tears. I want to be like a wolf that stares at you, learn from every single one of your strengths, learn every single one of yours … Until one day, we will also be fighting a classic battle in the Pacific Ocean in the Trafalgar Sea, but by then, the losers won't be us from China … "

Just as Xiao Letian was clenching his fists fiercely, the three French cruisers had also adjusted their positions. The bow of the cruiser was facing the southwest while the starboard side of the cruiser was facing the enemy.

The Captain that had been overweeningly arrogant just a moment ago now had a serious expression. If one were to observe carefully, one would notice that their fists were trembling slightly.

These naval officers knew even better than Xiao Letian that other than the British, no other country in the North Sea would be able to put up such a front.

"Damnable Englishman, what are they doing here? Are all our intelligence personnel s stupid pigs? Why didn't they find out anything about the movement of the British? "Dammit …"

The officers could only curse in their hearts. After venting their feelings, they had to continue commanding the fleet, "lookout hand, is the identity of the unknown fleet known? Flag Man, once you enter your field of vision, immediately ask in the language of flags … "Damn it, what kind of fleet is this?"

Un, looks like this Captain was still hoping for a miracle to happen. Although he had confirmed the identity of this fleet, he still hoped that it was only a group of oceanic merchant ships.

The biting sea breeze from the North Sea gave the warships a lot of motivation. After only fifteen minutes, the lookout hand on the cruiser brought some bad news.

"Report... Yes... Is British... Is Royal Navy... Three battleships, five heavy cruisers … Damn it, I know the flagship. It's the North Sea Fleet's flagship … "Monarch!"

With a bang, Captain's fist smashed into the hard wooden railing, causing blood to ooze out from his bones, "Damn it, damn it, damn it Englishman …" They're stirring up trouble again. They must be after these Chinese... Ask them about their intentions … "

The standard-bearer waved his arms and sent a message to British Fleet. However, the arrogant Royal Navy did not even bother responding, as eight powerful warships were charging towards them in a straight line.

Right now, everyone on Xiao Letian's side was dumbstruck. The appearance of the British gave rise to an endless number of changes in the situation.

There was only one exception, and that was Xiao Letian. He knew clearly in his heart that this bunch of British were definitely here to cause trouble for the French.

They were getting closer and closer. Now, the French sailors could already see the sculptures on the head of the British battleship ship. The battleship on the third level of the shooting deck was pressing down like a mountain.

The psychological pressure that the French had given Xiao Letian and the others was now being returned by the British. When the distance between the two fleets reached 300 meters, the arrogant British finally replied back to the French and questioned them.

The lookout hand quickly translated, and the young sailor stuttered. "Britain …" The British warship is about to deliver... Salute the Prime Minister of the East to leave Europe... The Ruler was about to fire a cannon... Please do not misunderstand French battleship … "Please be patient …"

"Huh?" The three French battleship s were completely speechless. Everything in front of them had already exceeded their understanding, no one could understand, how could the British give Xiao Letian support?

"My God! Are the English crazy? Did they forget that six years ago, it was us who jointly captured the Beijing? When did they become good friends with the Chinese... Damn it, damn it, damn it! "

The Frenchman was completely mad.
