1519 The Navy is completely insane!
"Dying and struggling! Even if you can escape a few warships, you don't have a supply port in this vast sea, how can you survive......?" Xiang Ying sneered and commanded the Chinese Navy to start forming a formation to intercept, the Zhiyuan hull was sideways to east and west, using the right side of the ship to meet the enemy, and the three main guns took turns firing to blow up the last few hundred meters of safety exit in the minelaying area.

Ye Qiu's minelaying operation actually did not complete the task successfully in the end, and in the place closest to the main city of Vladivostok, due to the blockage of the Rakshasa army, a safety exit of nearly 800 meters was finally set aside.
This opening has never been blocked with mines, not because Xiang Ying and they don't want to plug it, but because all the mine reserves of the Volunteers have been exhausted.
Fortunately, the Zhiyuan arrived in time to block the Far East Navy of Tsarist Russia, which was about to escape.
With the Zhiyuan as the flagship and the Wave Crusher and more than a dozen sail wood-hulled warships as the auxiliary, a huge circular encirclement was formed on the outer side of the Amur Bay.
If you look at it from a layman's point of view, this encirclement is indeed invulnerable, so many warships are stubbornly defending the 800-meter waterway, and the enemy will never want to fly out even if he puts on his wings.
But in the eyes of insiders, this encirclement actually has a big loophole. The most critical issue is the ratio of warships on both sides.
The Zhiyuan was the most advanced warship in the entire naval battle, and there is no doubt that no one in Tsarist Russia had the luxury of defeating him. However, the excellence of the Zhiyuan could not hide the backwardness of other warships of the Chinese Navy.
With the exception of the Zhiyuan, all the remaining Chinese warships were wooden-hulled sail warships, and there were training ships that had been converted from merchant ships captured by the French, and these warships had formed a short board.
On the other hand, the Tsarist Russian Navy, ten of the fifteen large warships are all wooden-hulled ironclad battleships, and they are dual-powered sail and steam, and the other five wooden-hulled warships are also paddle-wheel driven.
As for the remaining small patrol gunboats, they were all wooden-hulled and iron-clad structures.
A discerning person can understand at a glance that the Chinese Navy in this battle belongs to a group of scholars fighting with a group of scumbags, while the Tsarist side is a group of middle-class students who are not up to the bottom and stubbornly resist.
In a naval battle, whether the average value is the most important, or whether it is a heroic battleship that is unbeatable, is more important? It really depends on the situation of the war.
If this is a decisive battle between the two sides, and the commanders of both sides are determined to fight the enemy to the death, then the Chinese will win this war.
There is no need for other warships to cooperate, as long as the Zhiyuan has enough ammunition and enough maintenance engineers, he can completely beat children on the sea.
The reason is very simple, I have the highest defense! I am the fastest! My artillery has the longest range, the greatest power, and the highest accuracy!
The Zhiyuan can completely rely on mobility, wander outside the effective range of the Tsarist Russian fleet group, and shoot them one after another, and the other party can't hit him at all, which is the attribute bonus brought by the difference in technology and the times.
But now the naval battle is not a decisive battle between the two sides, the purpose of the Tsarist Russian Navy is to flee for its life, it is to abandon the flagship and command itself to rush out on all sides.
At this time, the Zhiyuan was a little overwhelmed, all his weapon systems could only be used against the most important targets, and the current situation was what he was talking about.
And those wooden-hulled sail training battleships, against the wooden-hulled ironclad battleships, are not opponents at all, or they can't be stopped at all, the gap of 800 meters is the stamen, and those Tsarist Russian battleships are blooming petals, and the Zhiyuan can stop a third of it is already considered to burn high incense.
This is a suicide breakthrough like a moth to a fire, one after another Russian warships staring at the artillery fire and rushing south, one after another battleships were hit and ignited a raging fire, the sea was full of wreckage and dead sailors' corpses, and countless Russian sailors who fell into the water were asking for help.
At this time, there was no emotion to talk about, and the Aleut simply ignored those colleagues on the sea, and the tall hull directly crushed the living sailors.
Ettoline's eyes were blue, and he shouted, "Rush over! Rush over!" Hold off the fire of the Zhiyuan with our battleship...... Remember this revenge and avenge us!"
"Shoot at him in front of the Zhiyuan's cannons...... It's time for us to go to God!"
The Aleut was burning, the huge hull was not as large as the Zhiyuan, but it was also the second largest warship on the sea, and the mountain-like hull blocked the angle of fire of the Zhiyuan, and he approached like a warrior who personally blocked the muzzle of the gun.
Xiao Lotian could already see the faces of the roaring soldiers on the Aleut, and a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in his mind: "Not good! These Russians want to be pirates!"
Xiang Ying was stunned for a moment and he also reacted, Aitorin was really insidious enough, as long as he ensured that the Tsarist fleet in the Far East had about ten warships that could successfully break through, then there would be a pirate fleet on the seas of East Asia that everyone feared.
These desperate rakshasas will pounce on undefended harbors, burning, looting and plundering, and every merchant ship on the golden passage will be the target of their slaughter.
At this time, the Pacific Ocean was far less widely explored than the Atlantic Ocean, and the North Pacific Ocean included the Bering Strait, some of which were unexplored or even unmapped islands, which would be a hiding place for pirates.
If you can beat it, you can fight, if you can't beat it, you can run, and from then on, the route of the Chinese people will never be peaceful. Even Xiao Letian can be sure that these beasts will definitely secretly find Britain and France to sell their stolen goods, and those shameless diplomats and colonial governors wish that someone would make trouble for Xiao Letian.
"Xiang Ying! Block them...... We must not let them escape!" Xiao Letian's face turned white.
Xiang Ying also realized the enemy's strategic intention at this moment, if this group of beasts armed to the teeth escaped, the Chinese will never have peace, and even you will not even have a chance for peaceful development, the sea is full of smoke, and the Chinese will have to take the most valuable resources to suppress the bandits.
If money is wasted on this, the corresponding money for industrial development will naturally be less, and the time for the rise of the Chinese will be extended, and all variables will emerge at that time.
With a bang, Xiang Ying yelled, "Shoot at close range...... Regardless of casualties! All secondary guns are fired, sink the Aleut as quickly as possible! Rush up and hit me! Plug the gap with the hull of the ship......"
"Isn't it just fighting bayonets on the sea? Who have we Chinese been afraid of?"
