Yang Zhaonan's act of reporting to the coastal defense fort before the war failed to save the tragedy of Yangwu's defeat, but he avenged himself. The Manchurian-made 220-millimeter shore defense guns of the Zhongpo Fort hit the No. 46 pole mineboat of the French army that attacked the Yangwu in one shot, and directly sent the great enemy of the Yangwu to the bottom of the sea.

The French were dispatched at the same time by two pole mineboats, the target of the No. 46 pole mineboat was the Yangwu, and the target of the No. 45 pole mineboat was the Fuxing. However, the sneak attack of the No. 45 mine-boat attacking the Fuxing did not succeed, and when the French fleet launched a general attack, he was still some distance away from the Fuxing, and was fiercely counterattacked by the officers and men of the Fuxing.

Because he did not dare to fire before, the No. 45 pole mineboat was too close and almost scowled under the nose of the Fuxing. The Fuxing was not equipped with rapid-fire weapons such as machine guns, and the officers and men could only attack the enemy ships with rifles and other useful melee weapons. The captain of Boat No. 45 was shot in the eye with a rifle and the mineboat was injured in many places, so he hurriedly turned the bow of the ship and fled to the vicinity of the US warship "Enterprise" for refuge.

When China and France went to war, and there was nothing to do with the Americans, the French thought that it would be okay to hide next to the Americans, but they forgot that the Americans today are no longer worthless. The coastal defense battery did not scruple about the Americans at all, and when it saw that the No. 45 pole mineboat and the Fuxing were at a distance, it immediately turned its guns and began to bombard the No. 45 pole mineboat. In the face of the stormy blows of the coastal defense artillery, the No. 45 pole mineboat was quickly shot and sank. The American Enterprise was also hit three times and escaped from Mawei Harbor with billowing smoke. When the British saw that the Enterprise had been shot and ran away, they did not dare to stay in the harbor anymore with a big-tailed eagle, so they hurriedly lifted anchor and left the war zone.

After the "Fuxing" led Chen Ying's troops to repel the No. 45 mineboat, he urgently ordered to lift anchor and turn the bow to attack the enemy ship. Then the Fuxing, located in the core area of the battlefield, became the main target of the French army, and the French capital ships that sank the Yangwu all aimed their guns at the Fuxing. Cannonballs rained down, the Fuxing was full of fire, the sailors were flying flesh and blood, Chen Ying still stood on the bow of the ship and commanded, never flinching even a step.

"My lord, the enemy ship is fierce, the brothers have suffered heavy casualties, and the hull has been shot in many places, let's stay out of the edge for the time being!" A voice in the thick smoke was not very clear, roaring and persuading Chen Ying to take a break for a while, so that the brothers who had suffered heavy casualties could take a breath.

"Today is the day when Lao Tzu serves the country with all his might! Our ship has few small guns, how to hit the enemy if we don't get close to the enemy ship! Serving the country is today, Lao Tzu and his brothers live and die together, give Lao Tzu a rush! Chen Ying looked at the dead and wounded sailors very unbearable, but still firmly ordered a surprise. There are only more than 500 Fuxing, and there are only five artillery pieces, and the caliber is around 100 millimeters.

Gu Ba commanded the three warships that had just sunk the Yangwu, Volda, Triumph, and Dujushi Luin, and dispersed to outflank and began to besiege the Fuxing. The disadvantage of the Fuxing is even more obvious, his tonnage is not even one-tenth of the others, and the number of artillery is only one-eighth of the others. The Fuxing was quickly drowned in French fire, and even if it did occasionally return fire, it was of little use because the guns were not powerful enough.

"The husband eats the king's fortune, and he should be rewarded with death! Today's events, there is no advance or retreat!" Chen Ying commanded the battle while boosting morale, concentrated all his firepower, and stormed the French flagship Volda, but the artillery was not powerful enough to make a delay.

As soon as Chen Ying's words fell, a cannonball was hit by a cannonball when the lookout came out, and Chen Ying, who supervised the battle, was unfortunately hit by a cannon. The officers were almost killed, and the third deputy Wang Lian could only continue to command the artillery to fight, but soon Wang Lian was also martyred in the artillery fire. "There were dead and wounded on the Fuxing, and the officers were also killed and wounded, but the sailors still persevered, and the whole ship fought to the death. However, in the continuous artillery fire, the Fuxing* caught fire in the warehouse, and the Fuxing was martyred and sank, and only 20 officers and men of the ship were rescued after falling into the water, and the rest were all martyred.

The Fuxing was not alone, behind him were two brothers who would never abandon him, and both the Fusheng and Jiansheng ships followed the Fuxing and rushed towards the enemy ship. The Fordson and Kensheng were mosquito ships, armed only with an unturnable British-made breech-loading Armstrong cannon in the bow, which had weak firepower, low horsepower, and was heavy and sluggish. After several efforts, they could not get close to the rescue Fuxing, and could only shoot from a distance.

The Kensheng fired a cannon shot at the lone flagship, the Volda, and slightly damaged its bow. Unfortunately, it was immediately returned by the heavy artillery of the enemy ships, and the Jiansheng was hit in many places, and the Guandailin Forest was killed, so the guerrilla Lu Han could only continue to command the operation. Lu Han fought with a sword in short clothes, and led the Jiansheng to continue to fight, and at the same time coordinated and commanded the Fusheng. It's a pity that soon after, Lu Han was hit in the face by a stray bullet, and although he continued to command after a little bandaging, his vision had been greatly affected. After the Fuxing was killed, the Jiansheng was also sunk when it was too close to the enemy ship, and Lu Han was shot at the age of 32.

The Fusheng commanded by Ye Chen was wounded as soon as the battle began, and the tail cannon caught fire and never went out. But extinguishing the fire at this time was not a top priority, Ye Chen commanded the wounded Fusheng to continue fighting, and after being shot repeatedly, he still insisted on not retreating. After the Kensheng was sunk, the Fusheng had approached the Triumph, but he was unable to replicate the success of the French. One is that Ye Chen does not have a pole mine in his hand, and the other is that the Triumph is equipped with a large number of Haqikaisi machine guns, and its melee rapid-fire ability is very strong. Ye Chen was also seriously wounded in the face during the battle, and endured the pain of supervising the enemy ship in the artillery company, and finally drank the bullet and became a benevolent, and the Fusheng was also sunk.

The three gunboats of the Fujian Naval Division, Zhenwei, Feiyun and Ji'an, were closest to Xingluo. After the naval battle began, the "Zhenwei" reacted as quickly as possible and immediately fired artillery to bombard the nearby French ship "Desdan." Zhenwei led Xu Shoushan, cut the anchor chain as soon as possible, quickly counterattacked, and braved artillery fire to command the lookout like many colleagues.

In fact, the hope of the Zhenwei lies mainly in the two companions, the Zhenwei is only less than 600 tons, and the two ships Feiyun and Ji'an that berth with him are about 1,300 tons. Feiyun and Ji'an are engaged in the battle, although they can't turn the situation around, but they will definitely be able to move back some of their disadvantages. It's a pity that the Feiyun and Ji'an ships, which are also the key targets of the French army, caught fire before they could lift anchor and sank soon. The French concentrated three nearby warships and besieged the stubbornly resisting Zhenwei with extremely strong firepower. The Zhenwei was hit by multiple bullets in the hull and suffered heavy damage, and the wheel blades were also destroyed, and it was about to lose power.

"Rush!" Xu Shoushan gave his final order.

At his last moment, the Zhenwei rushed towards the French ship "Destan" at full speed, intending to die together. The French ship "Ferres" hurriedly intercepted it with its side guns, and the boiler of the Zhenwei exploded, and the hull began to sink. Even though it was hopeless, Xu Shoushan continued to command the tenacious battle. He waited for the last moment with a live cannon, and when his battered hull finally sank to the front, he pulled the lead rope and fired a neighing, hateful shell from the unfortunate Zhenwei. The final attack of the Zhenwei severely damaged the enemy ship Destein, and the captain and two French soldiers were seriously injured on the spot. Xu Shoushan, also 32 years old, and Liang Zuxun, the first mate, sank into the river with their beloved Zhenwei.

At the beginning of the war, the two ships Fubo and Yixin were severely damaged and had to withdraw from the battle. But the French did not let them go, and the Volda, led the gunboats of the Wildcat and the Viper, and pursued the two ships relentlessly, with the posture of capturing both ships alive. The two ships, which were seriously wounded, were unable to fight back, and the two ships that retreated to Lingpu made a difficult decision, they decided to run aground on the beach and sink themselves, preferring to be hit as a live target rather than let the French succeed.

So far, all the nine warships of the Fujian Navy Division have been loyal to the country, but the battle is not over, the two transport ships Yongbao and Shenzhen Airlines are still there, they are also soldiers, and they have not given up resistance. The tonnage of Yongbao and Shenhang is not small, all of them are about 1,300 tons, but they are not warships, and together they only have six guns, and they are not capable of causing damage to the French army at all. But the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty still had their last bloody nature, and although they were defeated, they were still the heroes of the country.

When all the battleships were sunk, the dragon flags were hung on the masts of the Yongbao and Shenhang ships. With the dragon banner waving in the wind, they rushed towards the enemy with no indomitable courage. The two transports showed no weakness, they rammed the enemy ships with full power, and they sacrificed their lives to die today. It is a pity that in the fierce artillery fire of the French army, the two ships Yongbao and Shenzhen Airlines were shot and sunk one after another, and all the officers and men of the ship were martyred.

In less than 30 minutes after the start of the battle, nine battleships, two armed transport ships, and many transport ships of the Fujian Navy Division were sunk, more than 700 officers and men were martyred, and the newly built Fujian Navy Division was almost completely wiped out. Guba believes that the naval battle has stopped, and his next step is to attack the battery and further destroy the Mawei shipyard. However, Guba was wrong, although the newly built Fujian Naval Division has been completely wiped out, the Fujian Green Camp Naval Division is still there. Pinghai Zuoying No. 1 Division, Pinghai Zuoying No. 2 Division, Pinghai Zuoying No. 3 Division, Pinghai Zuoying No. 4 Division, Min'an Zuoying Division, Victorious No. 1, Dushui Battalion Jiezi Division, Ningzi No. 3, and the old warships of the Green Battalion all went to sea to meet the enemy, and the Qing Dynasty still did not give in, and the naval battle continued.

The Green Battalion was brave, but their ships were too small and their artillery was too weak, and the French army almost killed them with one shot, and countless loyal heroes returned to the sky. The real threat to the French was the batteries, which were equipped with Manchurian artillery, and the firepower was so strong that even the armored cruiser Triumph could hardly bargain in front of them. Fortunately, the density of the battery's firepower was limited, and the French army rushed hard against the firepower, and finally cut into the vicinity of the Mawei shipyard. The plan of Guba is very good, first destroy the horsetail, and then take Fuzhou, and take Fuzhou in one fell swoop to threaten the Qing court.

However, when approaching Mawei, the French army encountered the Qing army's naval division again, and the naval battle seemed to be continuing. The equipment of the Green Camp Mariners is very outdated, and the new heroes are even more fierce, they come in rowing with oars. Guba even saw swords, shields, bows, crossbows, spears and other weapons, these people were more than a hundred years behind Zhengzheng.

After easily solving the rowing heroes, the French army launched a continuous artillery bombardment, completely destroying the Mawei shipyard, and the foundation of the Qing Dynasty's self-built ships was destroyed. Gu Ba thought that he could take Fuzhou by chance, but he didn't want to be stopped by a group of magical people, who were the gods of the previous paddle naval battle.
