Luo Haitao's tactics are indeed very old, after the fleet penetrates deep into the enemy formation, the formation is almost completely disrupted, all the ships are looking for their favorite targets to attack, the six battleships naturally go to find the only four remaining big houses, and the other ships also go to attack the houses and close the ships.

At this time, the only thing that the two sides maintained the array was Li Feihuang's forward patrol fleet, a small force that maintained the battle line, sailed around the battlefield, and constantly bombarded the places where the Fusang ships were gathered with naval guns, and tried to ensure that the enemy ships could not break away.

On the battlefield of the chaotic battle, because the remnants of the Nine Ghost Water Army were less than the Chinese army at this time, it was inevitable that two Chinese warships would beat a Fusang ship, and a group of Xiao Zao was in a hurry around them.

This was the case of the Chinese Army's second-class transport ship "Dengyingzhou", the earliest ship of the Chinese Navy and the battleship "Jin" at the same time as a large house, and the Maori samurai who led the way on board recognized the ship flying the flag of the Nine Ghosts - this is the flagship of the Nine Ghosts Naval Army.

Therefore, "Jin" did not shoot the waterline of the ship's hull with heavy artillery, but intended to capture him.

The flagship of the Nine Demons, the Fuso Maru, built an attic-style building called the "Castle Tower" on the upper deck.

Therefore, although the displacement was only about 400 tons (or three millimeters of iron plates added to the weight), two-thirds of the Chinese battleship, the top building was actually about the same height as the battleship.

Some Fuso musketeers stood on the castle tower, trying to suppress the deck of the "Jin" with the best arquebuses imported from China, and then tried to engage the Chinese army.

Both sides had the idea of close combat, so the portrayal went very smoothly, and the sailors of the "Jin" also began to shoot at the castle tower with their firing pistols.

The Nine Ghosts Jialong, who was commanding above, sadly found that the armor that could resist the fire of his arquebus could not protect against the Chinese army's muskets at all.

The buckshot pierced through the iron plate and the wooden planks behind it, and countless sawdust flew across the castle tower, sweeping the iron artillery pieces away.

When the muskets of the Fuso Army hit the hull of the ship, they could not shake the heavy oak hull at all, and only by shooting at the open deck could they have a chance to kill and injure the Chinese soldiers.

Each side threw their hooks and claws, narrowed the distance and set up a springboard, and the sailors and marines each held their weapons and prepared to jump into the gang.

Taking advantage of the fact that the two sides had just joined the board and had not yet begun close combat, the upper deck guns of the Chinese army fired a round of shotguns at the deck of the "Fuso Maru", and the battleship fired six 10-pound guns and six 6-pound guns on one side of the battleship at the same time, each gun was a double shotgun, and more than 6,000 pieces of half-tael lead swept across the deck of the "Fuso Maru" like a torrential rain.

The Fuso sailors who were crowded on the deck ready for a white-knuckle battle fell in pieces with a hula, and blood flowed on the deck.

Immediately after that, the Chinese sailors fired a volley with rifles, and the Fusang people, who were lucky enough to escape in the rain of bullets, fell down in a row.

"Up!"

As soon as the Marine Corps officer gave the order, the Marines and volunteer sailors stepped on the gangplank and rushed to the "Fuso Maru" and used their bayonets to kill all the Fuso soldiers lying on the deck and groaning in pain.

As a battleship mainly engaged in white-knuckle warfare, the "Fuso Maru" originally had many more melee soldiers than the "Jin", but the two rounds of strikes before the broadside, especially the first round of shelling, brought too much damage to the Fuso people, at least 200 people died in those two rounds of shooting, and many wounded also lost their combat effectiveness, and as a result, a large area was easily harvested by the Chinese sailors.

Fortunately, the remaining Fuso sailors were able to take advantage of the location to hold on to the tall superstructures, even though they were also beaten by muskets.

The Chinese sailors occupied the roof of the "Fuso Maru" (the first deck building) and tried to storm the castle tower several times, but the Fuso people on it shot frantically downward, and some even threw down some incendiary objects regardless of accidental injuries, driving the Chinese army down again.

Taking advantage of this time, several ships approached from the other side and boarded the "Fuso Maru" on the gangplank for reinforcements.

These dozens of people gave the Fuso people a chance to breathe, and the Fuso sailors brandished their katanas, jumped around the deck like monkeys, and from time to time swords, several Chinese soldiers who were caught off guard were killed.

However, the Chinese sailors were not afraid of white-knuckle combat at all, they worked in groups of three, covered each other, and fought with bayonets against katanas, and the fight was inseparable.

At this time, the "Deng Yingzhou" quietly approached, and neither side in the fierce battle discovered his existence.

When the old transport ship approached, it used a 6-kilogram deck gun to fire shotguns at the few ships that were leaning on the "Fuso Maru".

Xiao Zao, about the size of a sampan, leaked everywhere and sank quickly.

Then "Dengyingzhou" took the place of those small boats and leaned on the "Fuso Maru" from the other side.

As a transport ship, the firepower of the "Dengyingzhou" was far worse than that of the "Jin", but the soldiers on board were far more than the "Jin".

Nearly eighty sailors and marines poured onto the deck of the "Fuso Maru", and the arrival of these new troops caused the Fuso people on the deck to despair, and the Fuso people, who were absolutely inferior in numbers, were quickly killed one by one.

Someone brought an axe and cut off a few door panels from the cabin of the "Fuso Maru", and the rest of the people lifted the body of the Fuso man as a shield and launched another assault on the castle tower.

The sailors on both warships opened fire on the castle tower with their rifles at the same time, and hundreds of bullets flew in them, knocking the attic-like structure like a honeycomb everywhere.

The remaining Fuso people on the castle tower were killed and wounded, and even the Nine Demons Yoshitaka himself was hit by a bullet in the shoulder, and the remaining Fuso people only felt powerless as they looked at the shields that poured up layer by layer.

Five minutes later, the Chinese army broke through the resistance of the Fuso people and poured into the castle tower, and the seriously injured Nine Ghost Jialong cut his stomach at the last moment, but no one gave him a surprise, and the Chinese soldiers were busy chasing and killing other Fuso people, and when someone found out that there was a fool who cut his stomach, the Nine Ghost Jialong had already breathed more and less air.

The Chinese sailors occupied the deck and all the superstructures of the "Fuso Maru", and they stuck the exit of the main deck to prevent the enemy soldiers in the cabin from rushing out.

Now, the geographical disadvantage that the Chinese people just faced has shifted to the side of the Fusang people, and it is impossible for anyone to rush out of the narrow exit, and the Chinese army unceremoniously threw grenades downward, and the Anzhai ship did not have a watertight cabin, and the cabin was completely through, and the grenades exploded underneath, and the Fusang people were crying wolf.

On the overall battlefield of the naval battle, the Chinese army had completely overwhelmed the Nine Ghost Water Division, and the remaining three ironclad mansions had all been sunk, and most of the ordinary mansions and ships had been destroyed.

After the Chinese army tore down the Oda military flag of the "Fuso Maru" and raised a red flag on it, the remaining Fuso people completely lost their fighting spirit and began to scatter and flee.

And Li Feihuang's fleet, which has been touring around the battlefield, frantically harvested, the cruisers sank the small ships one by one, and then besieged those ships and houses that escaped by chance, and no Fuso ship could last long under the siege of 11 cruisers - in fact, often after a round of salvos, the opponent has already begun to sink.

The Chinese fleet did not relax, clenching the tail of the fleeing enemy without the slightest mercy.

The battle turned into a massacre.
