1044 Our battleships

Bang bang bang...... Three bright red fireworks exploded in the sky, and for the entire battlefield of Iquique, these fireworks could not attract attention at all.

The cheerers are still cheering, the fleeing are still fleeing, the battle on land has not changed in the slightest, and no one wants to look up at the anomalies in the sky.

Only Tang Lei and Tie Toutuo, who had received strict training from the CIA, were unusually sensitive to this voice, and they almost subconsciously turned their heads to look at "I rely on ...... Are my eyes glazed? Do you all see it? Is that our Ryukyu signal flare?"

More of the CIA-sent subordinates around jumped to their feet excitedly and shouted "nonsense...... That's our signal fireworks...... I can't be wrong with my eyes closed......"

"...... You can see it when you close your eyes......" Just as the three fireworks were gradually extinguished, suddenly three more fireworks rushed into the sky, still three bright red, that is, the signal flare of the decisive battle.

"Reinforcements! It must be our reinforcements! Where are they?" the people looked around, and it was only then that they noticed that the cannon fire in the depths of the sea level had once again intensified.

Now the Zhiyuan is five kilometers away from the coast, and the coast is still about four kilometers away from the main force of the Taiping Army, so it is impossible to see what is happening at such a distance, even those signal fireworks are Zhiyuan to increase the dosage and launch it diagonally over Iquique City, otherwise Tang Lei and they will not be able to see these signal flares at all.

Almost at the same time, Tang Lei and Tie Toutuo, who were excited, flashed a thought in their minds, and the shadow of the most secret intelligence in the CIA legend suddenly surfaced.

"Prussia...... How is this possible...... "Even if we succeed in building it, we can't go here?"

At the level of Tang Lei and Tietoutuo, it can be known that Prussia is building warships for the Ryukyus, but they don't know the specific details.

The shape of the new warship, its parameters, the construction schedule, the list of future pilots...... These things are the highest secret of the Ryukyus.

But it is enough to have such an intelligence shadow, and today's sudden chaos in the Peruvian Navy, coupled with the familiar flares, makes them have to choose this one answer.

Chen Yonglu hurriedly burned the flames, "What is it? What battleship? You two don't sell it, I don't understand!"

"Old Chen...... Maybe we don't have to cross the sand sea anymore, I think we'll be able to have dinner in Iquique tonight!" Tang Lei rode his horse like crazy and galloped among the soldiers.

"Brothers, don't withdraw, our reinforcements have arrived, the Peruvian warships on the sea are going to be finished, they are no longer able to provide fire support......"

"Bravest soldiers, let's rush one last time, shall we...... We don't have to attack those three forts, we go around them, we go take the batteries at the docks!"

"We must not let the battery hurt our ships!hahaha...... That's our warship, so I don't have to fuck it! His grandmother, follow me......"

As soon as they heard that there were reinforcements, and then looked at the Peruvian warships on the sea, they really turned their bows, and then the entire Heavenly Legion was in a sensation, as long as there was no bombardment from the ironclad ships, they were still afraid of a ghost.

"Kill...... Follow the adults to capture the dock and hack all the defenders of the fort to death...... Kill!"

More than 10,000 Taiping troops turned around and charged again, which frightened the Peruvian army defending the city and Cirapizzo, who were retreating in the south.

"Chinese crazy, is this suicide? look...... There is something unusual in the sea!"

After the Zhiyuan easily beheaded the Sun and the Vascalan with two guns, the boiler continued to pressurize and rushed towards the fleet of more than 20 warships in the distance.

An ironclad ship has to take on a mixed fleet of more than twenty ships, which can no longer be described as bold, this is the same move as a madman.

"The boiler continues to pressurize...... Mr. Kevin, I think we should be able to increase our speed a little more, don't you say?"

Kevin's wind and rain in the captain's room, the bloody wind had already dissipated a lot of the scholarly smell on the engineer's body, and he was scruffy with a cigar in his mouth, and actually brought out three points of ruffianism, "As you wish, my captain...... Turbine Preparation...... Intense pressure ventilation increases horsepower...... Let those broken tin cans see the real Prussian industrial power!"

The turbine unit suddenly became busy, the forced ventilation damper was opened, the blower pressed fresh air into the boiler, and the flames in the furnace turned blue with the whirring wind.

The sailors who loaded the coal suddenly felt that the temperature in front of them had risen sharply, and they were covered in oil from the heat wave, and there would be no women coming in and out of here anyway.

The 6,000 horsepower was gradually increased to 7,000 horsepower in three minutes, and the chimney of the Zhiyuan suddenly became thick with smoke, and the entire hull shook, just like the excitement of the war horse before the charge.

"Zhiyuan left full rudder...... Starboard facing the enemy...... The main gun is firing freely! Lin Zhen, let me see how the artillerymen you have trained along the way are! Don't waste this rare opportunity to shoot at the target!"

Lin Zhen smiled and made an OK gesture to the command room, and then the three main guns in front and behind began to rotate, and the Zhiyuan also drew a beautiful arc on the sea.

"T-shaped tactics? The enemy is facing the enemy on the side of the enemy, is this going to bombard us with T-shaped tactics?" the Peruvian officers were stunned, and they couldn't believe their eyes.

In naval warfare, the T-shaped tactic is a very common artillery tactic, and whoever first puts out the horizontal formation above the T-shaped on both sides will be able to take the lead in having the advantage of artillery salvo, while the backward side will naturally be the one under the T-shape, and naturally cannot give full play to the advantage of artillery, so it can only be passively beaten.

But this is obviously a tactic that only fleets use? Is it good to have only one ship on the other side? Is it a madman or an idiot when a battleship puts on a horizontal formation and wants to bombard the entire fleet? Is this a madman or an idiot!

It's a pity that they will never be able to appreciate the powerful power provided by 2 horizontal 3-cylinder reciprocating steam engines and 4 high-rise coal-fired boilers, and they will never be able to understand what it is like to add 210 guns to battleships.

By the time they were able to comprehend all this, I am afraid that the Grim Reaper would have already taken his little hand.

Boom Boom Boom ...... The three main guns of the Zhiyuan had already opened fire at a distance of 4,000 meters, and with the precision artillery skills practiced by innocent merchant ships in the Atlantic, they once again exerted their might, and the three consecutive shots actually hit two shots, and a wooden-hulled sail battleship was directly blown up in the bow, while another small ironclad ship of more than 800 tons directly blew up the bridge.

"Oh my God, why are you so accurate......! Rush up and sink him!" the Peruvian officers wept as they spoke.
