At this time, the wharf at the mouth of Dagu was completely chaotic, and the number of warships and ships that had been hit by the guns had reached more than 10, because the berthing of the ships was relatively dense, so some of the shells that missed were actually not wasted, but hit other warships, and some of the missing bullets did not damage a warship or ship, but the surrounding ships were affected. And there were several warships that caught fire, although it was not said that the pier was illuminated, but it was also very clear.

Although all the warships were starting fire at this time, there was still a lot of time before they could set sail, and only shallow water gunboats of about 1,000 tons could start in a short time. However, although the warship could not move, the warship's artillery could still open fire, and it would not be enough to only be beaten and not fight back.

It's just that the blow came too suddenly, and the shock caused by the first few missiles to the coalition forces was too great, and as a result, the coalition forces were stunned at first, so in the interval after the missile launch, not a single warship even remembered to fire back.

It wasn't until the Russians were sunk and the Sisoi was heavily damaged that some of the soldiers on the warships finally came to their senses, so they immediately ripped off their gun jackets, moved the guns, loaded the shells, and at the same time someone climbed up to the lookout, and when everything was in place, they found a serious problem, where is the enemy?

Although the Sisoi and the Russians were on fire at this time, in this dark night, the firelight could only illuminate a range of hundreds of meters, and the distance of the night battle was about a thousand meters, and if it was farther, it would basically become a blind shot, but the soldiers at the lookout looked around and searched everywhere, but unfortunately outside the range of the firelight, they could only see the endless darkness, and they did not find the location of the enemy ship at all, so the soldiers of each ship were also puzzled, where was the enemy?

Soon after, the crossing fleet began shelling, and shells came at the coalition fleet one after another, some warships were hit, and some shells fell into the water. However, when the artillery fires, it produces a bright fire, which indicates the target for the coalition fleet. In fact, when the missile is launched, whether it is a cold launch or a hot launch, it will produce fire, but at that time, the position of the crossing fleet is far away, and it is impossible for the coalition fleet to see it, but it is necessary to close the distance when shelling, so you can still see a faint light in the dark depths.

Although that little flash of light loomed like distant starlight, each time there were too many flashes, a cannonball would fall into the coalition fleet, and the coalition soldiers were sure that it was the location of the enemy ship.

However, although the location of the enemy ship could be detected, in the dark of night, the coalition warships could not determine the distance of the enemy ship at all, so they could not aim at all. But the other side seemed to be unaffected by the night, and still bombarded the coalition fleet with one cannon after another, and the aim was so high that it almost either hit or missed, and even the soldiers on the two British ships had to admit that the British Royal Navy probably did not have such an astonishing hit rate.

However, this also created an illusion for the British Navy on the two British ships, that is, the distance between the enemy ships was not too far, and it was estimated that it was only within two or three thousand meters, otherwise could it have such a high hit rate? In fact, even the British Royal Navy could not have reached a hit rate of about 80 percent at a distance of 3,000 meters.

After judging the distance of the enemy ships, the two British ships were not idle, and immediately moved their guns, aimed them in the direction of the hostile, and fired back. Although they did not have as much experience in naval warfare as the British, they could not judge the position of the enemy ships, but they could only aim their guns at the position where the fire was flashing, and if they did not hit accurately, they would open fire.

The coalition forces fired back with artillery, and a lot of water columns were stirred up on the sea, but they were at least two thousand miles away from the crossing fleet, and there was almost no threat to the crossing fleet. However, every shell fired by the coalition forces was monitored by the Kunming ship's phased array radar, and the flight trajectory of the shell was displayed through computer calculations.

Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng, and Xiao Jianjun were also very relieved when they saw the ballistic trajectory of the shells displayed on the display screen, so it seemed that it was impossible for the coalition forces to threaten the crossing fleet.

At this time, the battle had been going on for more than half an hour, and five warships of the Eight-Nation Coalition had been sunk, and after the Russian ships Siso, the Russians, and the French Pascal, the American ship Newark, and the Italian ship Abba were also sunk, and the British ships Orlando and Alola, and the German ships Hansa and Hertha were also hit several times each.

However, at this time, although the large and medium-sized warships could not be started, several shallow gunboats had already boiled water, and the boilers produced steam, which drove the engines to run and began to start. Moreover, just now the crossing fleet concentrated all the artillery fire on the large ships, and did not attack the small warships, only a few shells were accidentally hit or missed, causing damage to the Russian ship Kiliac and the Austrian ship Zanta, and the other small ships were basically undamaged, so the small warships that were activated also left the dock one after another.

First of all, the two shallow-water gunboats of the British Fym and Algerin launched and sailed away from the dock, opening fire on one side and driving in the direction of the crossing fleet on the other, obviously trying to disperse the firepower of the crossing fleet and cover the large and medium-sized warships. At this time, two small warships with a displacement of only 1,000 tons were undoubtedly a very risky move, and it could even be said that they were sent to death; from this point of view, the British Navy was indeed worthy of being the strongest navy of this era, and in this situation of falling into a disadvantage in an all-round way, it still dared to attack, and such courage and determination did not depend solely on not being afraid of death.

But not all small warships have the courage and determination of the British, the three Russian ships Gilly, the Korean, the Beaver, and the French ship Lyon, immediately abandoned the group, scattered and fled, and hurried out of this place, but the German ship Iltis and the American ship Challenge followed closely behind the two British ships and took the initiative to go out.

However, all the movements of the warships of the Eight-Nation Alliance were under the control of the Crossing Fleet, and the Kunming immediately transmitted the movements of the allied warships to the Yueyang and Sanya warships, which were on alert, and ordered them to intercept the fleeing allied warships and not let one go.

After being a spectator for almost an hour, the officers and men on the Yueyang and Sanya ships were a little haggard at this time, after all, they watched the Kunming, Xiangyang, and Huaihua warships open fire and bombard the warships of the Eight-Nation Alliance anchored at the dock, and achieved one victory after another. If it's just the Kunming ship, after all, it's the "China Aegis," the boss of the navy, and it can also be convincing, and the Xiangyang and Huaihua ships, which could only be the junior brothers of the Yueyang and Sanya ships in the past, are also fighting well, but they can only do nothing, and the officers and men on the Yueyang and Sanya ships naturally don't feel good in their hearts.

Of course, the leadership of the two warships understood that the combat effectiveness of the Yueyang and Sanya warships was not as comprehensive as that of the Kunming warships, and the power of the artillery ships alone was not as good as that of the Xiangyang and Huaihua warships. However, after all, the Yueyang and Sanya warships are two warships with a very high technical level, and although there are obvious shortcomings, they will always be useful, so they also constantly reassure the officers and men on the ships, so that they can calm down and wait for the opportunity.

Now the time that the two warships had been waiting for had finally arrived, and the officers and men on the Yueyang and Sanya ships were suddenly in high spirits, and the two ships attacked separately, and the Yueyang ship first met the two British ships. When the two sides were about 5,700 meters apart, the Yueyang ship opened fire on the Algerin.

Although the 76 guns on the Yueyang ship are not good at hitting large ships, it is more than enough to fight these small warships that are only about 1,000 tons and do not have any armor protection, and the 76 guns have a fast rate of fire and high accuracy, so it is no more suitable to deal with such a small ship, so the Yueyang ship came up with a storm of shelling, and in just 30 seconds, the Algerin hit 21 bullets in a row, and nearly lost five bullets, only to hit the British soldiers on the ship dizzy, and they did not understand that they were obviously sailing with their lights out, and how the enemy was aiming, and the guns could be hit.

However, the British soldiers on the Algerin had no time to think, because such a blow could not be withstood by a small body like the Algerin, and it would not have been long before it sank into the sea.

The whole process was less than two minutes, and before the Algerin was completely sunk, the Yueyang ship turned its naval guns to the Fym, and there was another continuous shelling, and the Faim had just witnessed the Algerin being hit by a storm, but when the blow was transferred to itself, the Faim was also beaten dizzy, and not long after the Agerin sank, the Faim also sank into the sea after the Algerin.

At the same time that the Yueyang ship sank the Algerin and the Fem, the Sanya ship launched two Haihongqi-16 missiles to attack the escaped Russian ships Geely and the North Koreans. Although the Sanya ship is not equipped with a phased array radar, the performance of the fire control radar is not bad, and it can completely guide the attack of the Haihongqi-16 missile by itself, without relying on the guidance of the Kunming ship, and can fight independently, which is also the command let the two Type 054A frigates serve as alert, patrol, and interception tasks.

Two Haihongqi-16 missiles hit the Jili and the Koreans one after another, and the small warships of less than 1,000 tons were of course unable to withstand the attack of the Haihongqi-16 missiles, and as a result, they were both sunk.

In fact, the whole time was less than 10 minutes at this time, and the Yueyang and Sanya warships each achieved two results, although they sank all 1,000-ton small ships, but they were all real results; just now, the Kunming, Xiangyang, and Huaihua ships fired five missiles one after another, and it took nearly an hour to sink only five warships, so the officers and men on the two ships were extremely excited, clapped their hands and celebrated, and soon set their targets on other small ships.
