The guns were roaring, the battle was raging, the ships in the southeast were fighting in full swing, and the officers and men were in high spirits, and they actively responded to the commander's order to fire the guns! Masturbate! Masturbate!

The red-haired striker flagship "Lion" was continuously bombarded by artillery, as if being fiddled by giants, and the battleship swayed incessantly.

It was hit by a near-miss, and the sea ten yards away from starboard stirred up a high column of water, splashing straight into the face of the British general Michael Parker, who wiped the water and saw a large Chinese battleship not far away coming parallel to him, especially a tall figure on that ship, which made him change his face and shout: "Fire, fire, quick!" ”

Originally, he was still looking at the direction of the wind and expected to fire at the most opportune time, but now he can't take care of it.

Let's talk about fighting first, even if you lose, you can't lose.

He was right, the person who came was the "Southeast Asia No. 8", Captain Siresma, a well-known war maniac, nicknamed the Black Warrior, he couldn't help but laugh when he saw the other party's head sheep!

The side guns of the "Lion" fired a series of fires first, firing a total of 928 pounds of iron shells (the British's firepower was even more fierce than that of the Southeast Asia-class battleships), but most of them failed to hit the "Southeast Asia 8", and the British shells were scattered on a large area of water behind the port side of the "Southeast Asia 8", hitting a column of water, which was quite spectacular, and it was really a posture but not a reality.

Only two 36-pounder chain guns whizzed through the sail rope, leaving a half-cut cable hanging in the air, not damaging the main rigging of the "Southeast Asia 8".

At this time, the entire hull of the "Lion" was enveloped in thick smoke, but Siresma was extremely experienced, and he measured the distance between the two ships, and when everyone was side by side, he gave the order to give the "Lion" a salvo.

Three minutes!

Here came three rounds of salvos with high hit percentages!

The red-haired fans on the ship, especially the British, hated it: "Oh my God, why didn't we have the upper hand!" ”

You must know that the battle to gain the upper hand was taught to the Chinese by the British!

The British like to have the upper hand, but this is a combined fleet, and the predetermined strategy is to run away if they can't fight, so the British have no choice but to fight with the upper hand.

They cried bitterly: "Enough, enough! ”

Cannonballs burst out, and sawdust fragments flew all over the sky!

If you are not careful, your life will not be saved.

Many people desperately drew the cross, begging Xiao Ye to bless him.

But the more you are afraid of something, the more you come, under the strong attack of Chinese firepower, the Chinese shells are mercilessly smashed, and the guns are generally fired at a rate of one shot a minute, which makes the red hair shrink his head and close his mouth, Xiao Ye doesn't ask for it, it's useless to ask for it!

Finally withstood this round of attacks, the two ships staggered, and then the battleships behind the "Lion" were beaten.

The doom of the "Lion" was not only that, because it was the flagship of the vanguard, it was taken care of, and the shells and "banging" muskets of the Chinese warships were shooting towards them in a frenzied manner, and in an instant, the terrible barrage of bullets densely covered the front and rear of the "Lion", and the bursts of smoke seemed to cover the sky with a layer of black haze.

The "Lion" was scarred, its hindmast was blown off, the wall collapsed by the shelling, and a large area of the wooden wall on the port side collapsed, revealing the scene of the cabin: the corpses were piled up, the corpses were piled up, the blood was dripping, the scattered artillery was in disarray, and the whole battleship was in ruins.

The condition of Cheng Yu, the forward flagship of the Southeast Fleet, is much better than that of the "Lion", because the Hongmao battleship is downwind and the muzzle is upward, and the sails are sharpened with chain bullets, and some of them hit the hull, but they are far less than the Chinese to play the "Lion", so Cheng Yu is busy mending the sails!

If a chain bomb catches the moon with a meteor, it is said: "Meteor meteor, if you don't touch your nose, you will hit your eyes!" ”

The cables were cut, and the large canvas fell with a bang, and the canvas that had been pierced abounded, and sometimes the chain bullet hit the mast, even if it caused a slight shock to the hull of the ship, which shook the hearts of the officers and men.

Mast, but it's the root of life!

All you can do is pray for Mazu's blessing!

Fortunately, the mast was not broken.

If it is broken here, it will be mended there, and a new sail will be raised, and the canvas that is too broken will be lowered by itself, and then raised after it is repaired.

When the sail was hoisted to the mast, the opponent's musket was naturally waiting, and the musket was aimed at the Chinese sailors on the mast, and the fire was banged like a bird.

It was very dangerous, but no matter how dangerous it was, the sailors stubbornly climbed up as fast as they could, and still prayed for Mazu Niangniang's blessing.

Maybe it's the blessing of Mazu Niangniang, but more importantly, we are ready for war, and there are not many sailors who have been shot down.

The sailors thanked the leader, who was willing to equip the soldiers with helmets and bulletproof vests, and they had to understand that everyone had a set of hands, and he was definitely a conscientious commander!

I also thank myself that the training dogma of the Southeast Army is "sweat more in peacetime and shed less blood in wartime", "train to the standard of actual combat!" "And they did.

Usually the training is hard, and the teeth are gritted.

On a hot day, I also wore a helmet and a heavy bulletproof vest to climb the mast, and the sweat soaked the bulletproof vest!

I scratched my skin and got it now.

In this way, the musket of the red haired fan hit loudly, but it was dry and thundered and could not kill people, one was that the accuracy of the smoothbore gun at that time was poor, and the sea fluctuated, and it was not easy to hit the target; Second, hitting the helmet and bulletproof vest is not enough to break the defense!

As long as they didn't hit the vital point, the sailors insisted and hung the canvas.

The Southeastern Army pays attention to officers taking the lead, but the rough work of mast is not suitable for officers to be responsible, so it is under the responsibility of non-commissioned officers of sail cables.

Forward flagship sail cable non-commissioned officer Sunan, nicknamed the flower monkey, has great strength, flexible body style, is a good hand at work, he is famous for his likes to wear floral bottoms when he goes up the mast (the army requires officers and soldiers to wear helmets and bulletproof vests, but the article does not matter what pants you wear, officers wear pants for decency, and soldiers often wear pants for coolness), but I saw Sunan crawling up with a tether in the fireworks, and the ballistics of the red musket chased him, but none of the bullets could knock him down!

He rode on the mast and laughed loudly: "Come on, Hongmaofan, Lord is waiting for you!" ”

Naturally, the red-haired fan couldn't hear what he was saying, and they couldn't help but be discouraged when they fired more than a dozen shots at him without seeing any effect, while the Chinese were demoralized.

Led by him, the sailors scrambled to get on the mast regardless of the danger and rushed to repair the mast sail system, so that the mast sail of the battleship was generally normal and maintained its combat effectiveness.

In contrast, due to the serious damage of the "Lion", the officers and men on the ship were killed and wounded, and the side guns were scattered, resulting in a great reduction in firepower.

Extremely reluctantly, British General Michael Parker ordered the ship to drop the command flag, and the "Lion" withdrew from the formation and ceased to be the flagship of the striker.

The "Lion" withdraws from the battlefield!

Captain Charlton Knowles, who followed the British battleship "Poseidon", did not hesitate at all, and ordered the command flag to be raised, which became the forward flagship, responsible for leading the formation forward.

What the red-haired fans never dreamed of was that a quarter of an hour later, the commander flag of the "Poseidon" fell, and they had to use the third forward flagship!
