The Kunshan was a large U.S.-made clipper ship purchased by Prussia but actually the property of the Sino-German Foundation.

This is a classic clipper with a 6:1 ratio of length to width, with a slender hull that can easily pierce waves, and at speeds above 16 knots, you can even see the bow fluttering over the waves, severing the waves with the ease of scissors.

This is where the name clippers come from, the pinnacle of wooden sailboat design, and if the Kunshan had chosen to escape, the French ironclad warships would not have been able to catch up with him.

But today the Kunshan could not walk away, and they had to rely on their own strength to buy time for the departure of the main fleet.

The cabins and decks were filled with sailors running wildly, and in the warehouses where the coal was stored, sailors were spilling barrels of kerosene upwards, and more kerosene barrels were cut by axes, and pungent liquids flowed everywhere in the cabins.

The Kunshan's bow gun was the first to fire, and the six-inch rifled gun fired a high-explosive shell, and the first hit exploded on the side of the Shengjie.

"Oh my God, I'm right, there's a Chinese on this ship...... The successive attacks are not ghost ships at all, they are all ghosts made by the Chinese!"

As the distance got closer, Molière finally used his telescope to see clearly the figures of the Chinese and Prussians on the deck, and everything confirmed his speculation.

France's industrial prowess was not blown out, and the special heavy steel armor of the steel mills was no problem against such a six-inch small-caliber naval gun. The explosion had no effect other than blackening the Iron Armor.

Molière sneered and looked at the Kunshan's stubborn resistance, "The Holy and the Gaul are flanked left and right, trying to capture this clipper alive...... I need a large number of prisoners of war and confessions, and I must obtain evidence of Chinese collusion with the Prussians to attack British and French civilian merchant ships......"

"The Glory and the Devotional continued to ...... west. Just now, this clipper must have been using signal flares to communicate with the big fish, and I'm afraid it won't be too late if it's a little later......"

Don't look at Molière only brought four sail warships, although these four warships were all defeated by the Ryukyus, but after the upgrading of the French mainland arsenal, the combat effectiveness has been doubled, and most of the soldiers on it have returned from the defeat of the Ryukyus, and they are all holding their breath like Molière.

The two heavy cruisers struck the Kunshan in a brutal manner, and the 120-caliber guns in the bow sprayed flames, tearing the white sails of the Kunshan into strips of rags. If it weren't for Molière's demand for more prisoners and a large number of confessions, the two battleships would have been fired at and the wooden ship would have been blown apart.

Sun Chu saw that his forehead was wrapped in a blood-stained bandage, and shrapnel almost cut his temple, and at this time the Kunshan had lost power, and even if he wanted to, he couldn't escape.

The gun and command knife given by the Prime Minister of the Ryukyus are tightly held in his hand, the gun is a refined Colt revolver, and the knife is a retro Tang knife made by a Japanese master. The Tang knife was unsheathed, the bullets were loaded, and in the cabin behind him, a group of students and Prussian soldiers with rifles in their hands were waiting for him.

Sun Chu saw his eyes red staring at the two battleships that were getting closer and closer, he lowered his voice and said, "You are not allowed to leave the cabin without my order, and listen to my orders when the two ships intersect...... The enemy's outnumbered firepower is definitely a loss, and now we can only rush up and get close to the side of the battle, and end the battle with the most primitive hand-to-hand combat!"

"Hand out grenades! Take as many as you can...... Remember to leave me a glorious bullet at the end! Kill one is enough, kill two and earn one!"

After all, the Kunshan is just a clipping ship, although it is armed with a gun in the bow and stern, but it is not enough to look at it against a professional warship.

Soon all the white sails of the Kunshan were shattered by high-explosive shells, and the rags were hunting with the sea breeze like a remnant flag fluttering in the wind. The deck was littered with corpses and bloodstains, as well as the devastation after the explosion, and apart from the sporadic wounded who were still firing helplessly with rifles, the Kunshan was completely disarmed.

There was a burst of jubilation on the Holy and Gaul, and the soldiers shouted slogans of capturing the Chinese alive and prepared to board the ship. Especially the first few officers, they had already seen Sun Chujian, who was injured in an officer's uniform, and the soldiers next to him were about to shoot subconsciously, but the French officer slapped him aside.

"Stop! It's a big fish, and it's worth more to live than dead...... Do you see the command knife in his hand? It is a Japanese samurai sword, the production is extremely low, it is completely handmade, and ordinary officers without a little background have no right to wear it!"

"Everybody stop shooting...... Rush up and catch it alive!"

Rumble...... Click......

The Holiness, the Gauls, and the Kunshan were now at the level of three ships, and the two warships from the north and south were almost parallel to the side of the Kunshan, and the sound of crashing and sawdust cracking could be heard far away.

The heavy iron armor almost cut the wood on both sides of the Kunshan, and at this moment, the dead soldiers in the bilge of the Kunshan picked up the mine hole and smashed it on the ground, and the flames suddenly jumped from the kerosene.

"Hahaha...... The time has come to die! Brothers, copy the guys! The fire is ......" The roar is the signal, and Sun Chu saw the long knife in his hand swinging at the Gaul on the opposite side.

"Counter charge! Counterattack the past! Kill ......"

"Kill ......" A roar suddenly erupted from behind Sun Chujian, and the blue crowd rushed out from every hatch, and the eyes of the French with bright bayonets were glazed.

"Oh my God, Chinese dare to counterattack and counter-charge? Where did they get the guts......" Before the French officer could finish speaking, he saw more than a dozen smoking black bumps flying in the sky.

Boom Boom Boom ...... There was a violent explosion, and the deck of the Gaul was ablaze, and the stumps and severed arms flew everywhere.

Sun Chu saw that he jumped over the mast like a tiger and rushed to the deck of the Gaul, his right hand flashing with a bloody arrow, and the pistol in his left hand was specifically aimed at the enemy officers. Behind him, more than seventy soldiers formed a gun formation with bright bayonets, and a single assault tore apart the chaotic shock array of the French.

This was simply a one-sided massacre, and the French did not realize that these Chinese soldiers and Prussian sailors were not pure navy, and many of their tactics were exactly the same as those of the army, and even the elite units of the army.

Isn't this bullying? Who is covered in grenades in the battle on the sea? Is that the person with the bag of explosives wrapped around his waist the legendary dead soldier?

There are also those small commandos with threes and threes and bayonet formations composed of dozens of people, could it be the gun arrays commonly used in the ancient era of cold weapons?

Naval warfare is naval warfare, why are you engaging in so many bells and whistles!
