Volume VIII 1238 Killed Through the Battle

Next chapter

The battle had just begun, and the Russians were already confused. The Zhiyuan, which went to the meeting alone, was extremely arrogant, and then unreasonably appeared Xiao Ziqi and the Remnant Blood Flag, which proved that Xiao Lotian himself was on the battleship.

And at this moment, an even more bizarre flag appeared, it was actually a bright yellow flag embroidered with a golden dragon, who does this represent?

After all, the Qing Dynasty was a country of medieval thinking, and there was no modern concept of the national flag in the imperial court.

And at the moment it was only 1869, not to mention that Europeans did not know what the flag of the Qing Dynasty looked like, and even the people of the Qing Dynasty themselves did not know what the flag was.

But as soon as the five-clawed golden dragon flag came out, everyone could only think of one person, because the dragon culture is unique to the Chinese, and the yellow worship is also unique to the Chinese, and the combination of the two can only prove that the person with the most noble identity in the Great Qing Kingdom has appeared.

Vinya's brain was about to shut down, he was a qualified warship commander but not a good politician, he was too bad at analyzing this kind of thing, and he suddenly found himself bound by invisible ropes.

"Can't fire the cannon yet? Still can't fight this battle? A Xiao Lotian is already a difficult political family to deal with, if the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom is also on it, if I am injured or killed by mistake...... Is this a merit, or is it a sin?"

No one could answer his question, because no one had ever encountered such a situation, and it was very rare in the modern history of Europe to kill kings and even emperors, and the British had killed them, and it was the hands of the merchant group, and the result was a mercantilist empire on which the sun never set.

The French also killed the emperor, and the result was the outbreak of the Revolution, which made the French synonymous with disorganization, indiscipline, and freedom in Europe.

These two massacres of kings and emperors were met with a collective condemnation from the entire European aristocracy, and the French Revolution even led to the conclusion of an anti-French alliance in Europe, in which all the kings united to avenge Louis XVI.

It's not that they had a good personal relationship with Louis XVI, but they were just sad about the death of a fox and a rabbit. Killing the Emperor of France today, and killing the Emperor of Austria, Prussia, and Tsarist Russia tomorrow is not a scene that the kings of Europe are happy to see.

So Napoleon III's two defeats were exchanged for imprisonment rather than beheading, including after the Franco-Prussian War, Napoleon III was not tried but exiled in England.

Even after the First World War, King Wilhelm of Prussia, of course, had changed his name to His Majesty the Emperor of Germany, Kaiser Wilhelm II. It's the little grandson who is studying in front of Queen Victoria of England right now.

After the defeat of Germany in World War I, Wilhelm II was not judged, but spent his old age under the protection of the Queen of the Netherlands, giving him a castle and a fief, including a lot of wealth, so that he enjoyed the rich life of the emperor until his death.

Therefore, the king does not kill the king, it is a tradition in the European aristocratic circles, you can defeat the opponent, but you can't kill the opponent, this is the rule, because you don't know when you will also be defeated by another king, who will protect your life at that time?

Now Vinya and Stefansky are facing such a big problem, the identity of the Tongzhi Emperor is too noble, even Tsar Alexander II did not dare to order him to die, how dare these small officers make a mistake?

If you really kill Emperor Tongzhi and trigger a full-scale war between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia, these little shrimps will first have to be beheaded and thrown into the wilderness!

The battlefield did not tolerate the slightest hesitation, and Stefansky was the first to react, and he shouted hysterically: "Deception! This is all a deception!" Xiao Letian personally conscripted me, and I absolutely did not believe in the Qing Emperor's personal conquest...... Open fire! All the ships fire their guns!"

Vinya and Stefansky gave the order to open fire with their eyes completely closed, they really didn't dare to face the unknown fate, and a chill came out of their hearts that almost froze them.

Time almost stood still, the sky and the earth seemed to be playing back in slow motion, the heavy artillery of the Russian army's right-wing fleet was fired in unison, and the explosion of the water column on the sea resounded in the sky.

The Zhiyuan was hit by five bullets in an instant, and the flames of the explosion almost wrapped the entire hull, and the bodies of the unprotected sailors rolled and threw into the sky, and then were torn apart by the air waves.

But not a single qiē could stop the footsteps of the Zhiyuan, the heavy armor was tested to the test, not a single shell caused fatal damage, the iron armor was only blackened and slightly deformed, without any signs of penetration.

At this moment, the Zhiyuan was fully powered, and directly passed through that narrow gap between the starboard side of the Diamond and the port side of the Polar frigate.

Now is the time for Xiao Lotian and Emperor Tongzhi to perform, Xiao Letian, who is wearing the military uniform of the prime minister, and Emperor Tongzhi, who is wearing a dragon robe, stood at the observation window of the bridge and risked their lives to give the battle order.

"All close-range guns, Gatling guns...... Shoot at full speed!Kill and injure the enemy's living force......"

"The main guns opened fire, and the enemy ship was sunk ......"

The Zhiyuan not only has 3 210 caliber main guns, but also has 6-inch Armstrong breech secondary guns, 57 mm caliber Haqi Kaisi rapid-fire guns, 37 mm caliber Haqi Kaisi machine guns, and 0.45-inch caliber 6-barrel rotary Grimm cannons on both sides of the battleship......

This is a floating firepower output platform on the sea, and in short-range combat, such a firepower density cannot be withstood by any warship.

Boom Boom Boom ...... The two Russian warships bombed by Armstrong's rear loading shelled were in a wail, and the bodies of the tumbling sailors fell into the sea. Hatch Chase rapid-fire guns of various calibers created a sea of fire on the deck, and flesh and debris splattered everywhere.

As for the Grimm cannon is a meat grinder on the battlefield, wherever the sailors are concentrated, the Gatling cannon is focused on again.

The gun crew led by Lin Zhen was completely crazy, and the representative of the Ryukyu native faction tore the buttons of his military uniform jacket and rushed over to grab a Gatling and fired wildly.

Sudden ...... The bronze sound of the Gatling is like the piano bass keys playing, and the Grim Reaper is gorgeous!

"It's fun! It's fun...... Shoot as many as you want, don't skimp on ammunition, kill until his mother doesn't know them, and we'll all have to pee our pants until they dream......"

The proud knight of the north, passing through the formation, poured a sea of fire, and slashed two Russian warships.

The most important thing is that during the entire rushing process, Xiao Letian and Emperor Tongzhi stood on the left and right sides of the command cabin, risking their lives to watch the entire battle process up close.

Of course, the figures of the two of them have also been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the Russian officers and soldiers, and at this moment they know that the flags flying are not strategic deception at all.

The Chinese really began to fight hard!

Note: The addition of the fifth layer of cake will be sent to ...... I'm exhausted...... Would it be good for the main site to order a full incentive?
