And the situation on the side of the British warships is a little bad!

The flagship "Telia" received two shells, but fortunately neither was fatal, the foresail mast was broken, and the upper part of the hull side was damaged. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The only wooden sailing gunboat, which had been hit by three shells in the middle, had been slightly damaged, and this time it was badly damaged, and a hole-in-the-head hole was broken under the side of the ship, and the cabin began to flood.

Another armed steam merchant ship was not badly damaged, although it received a single shell.

Cha Wei hurriedly ordered the six rowboats that followed closely behind to act together, fix the damaged wooden sailboat with a cable, share the buoyancy bearing of the rowboat on the inclined side, and then let people get off the sail of the wooden sailboat, and use the rowboat to tow the wooden sailboat to the troop carrier, dock, and temporarily repair the damaged hull.

As soon as he stepped forward, he damaged a main battle warship, and his face turned blue at first glance. He wanted to get closer, as he had done ten years ago, and fire hundreds of guns at the best range of the artillery, that is, about 4 miles, and blow up the battery's artillery in a few rounds, and then send the army to occupy the battery.

Unexpectedly, this approach, it came under the cannon of this rebel! How could there be more than ten guns in the Shajiao Fort that could shoot so far, and the range was enough to exceed 2,000 yards.

It's really the rebel thieves who are too cunning!

Not only did he have a new long-range cannon, but he also installed a cannon in the grass and bushes on the shore, which made him and the surveyor misjudge!

This is also because the geographical location of this Humen Fort is really good.

The Shajiao Fort is located in the northwest corner of the peninsula-shaped land protruding from the river, facing the Dajiao Fort in Nansha across the river, and jointly blockades the water surface of the Pearl River Estuary.

Therefore, the British warships could not spread their positions in the center of the river in a straight line, as they would be attacked by the batteries on both sides of the river at the same time.

Therefore, Chawei ordered the fleet to turn around in the southern waters of the Shajiao Fort and launch a flank bombardment. In this way, it is necessary to travel close to the peninsula jutting out of the river.

Unexpectedly, the long-haired thieves actually hid the coastal heavy artillery on this shore, and I don't know how they could turn the angle of the cannon body and the muzzle?

He didn't know that after the Opium War ten years ago, the Manchu artillery craftsmen perfected the pulley, gallows and rotating movable gun carriages, so that the heavy cannon of 5,000 catties could also slowly turn the angle and rise and fall up and down.

However, Wu Yuanyou, who knew about the situation, couldn't get in touch with Cha Wei, let alone tell him. And Bai Gui, who could come into contact with Cha Wei, didn't know that the cannon of Humen Fort was already equipped with this device.

Cha Wei is a little unsure, should he continue to adjust the angle halfway and fire directly, or go back first?

But the hulls of several warships have been turned by more than half of the angles, and the hulls of the ships are just about to be parallel to the angle of the shore, and if they want to go back, they either have to turn the angle back again, or they will retreat directly at this angle, but they have been along the shore, and who knows if there are still artillery ambushes on the shore?

was thinking about it, and in less than 2 minutes, in the bushes opposite, more than a dozen shells whistled over. And at the Shajiao Fort, which followed closely, more than ten shells were fired together.

This time, the mainsail mast of the British flagship "Telia" was hit by a honeycomb bomb, the mast broke, and the mainsail was blown by the river wind, making it even more difficult for the "Telia" to turn around.

Another armed steam merchant ship was directly hit by two solid shells, and it happened that one of the shells smashed the board and then continued to rush to the iron shell of the steam engine, smashing the cast iron cylinders at once, and the steam spewed out, scalding several British soldiers.

The armed steam merchant ships, which had lost their steam power, could only adjust their sails and move slowly, but fortunately they could barely fight.

Fortunately, the gunners of the rebels did not have the ability to fire artillery, otherwise, I am afraid that the losses will be far more than that.

Cha Wei didn't think much about it, and ordered all the warships to immediately fire back, first destroying the artillery in the bushes on the shore!

"Boom....boom!" Although the British warships did not completely turn their angles and could not be fully deployed, more than 100 shells were fired into the grass on the shore in one salvo.

The British army is worthy of being the most powerful country at the moment, and the artillery is sharp.

By virtue of advanced aiming devices and technologies such as moments, gun gauges, gun rulers, front sights, and illuminating doors, the British artillery could use the "moment" to accurately measure the distance between the bushes on the river bank and the guns in the cabin, and also used the "gun gauge" to measure the elevation angle of the artillery, the "gun ruler" to determine the charge, and the "front sight" and "light door" to directly aim at the target, and the artillery firing accuracy was several times higher than that of the Holy Army.

After a volley, there was a violent explosion on the riverbank, mixed with screams, but it was the British army who used howitzer shells to hit the artillery in the bushes on the riverbank, and exploded, killing the Holy Army gunners next to them instantly.

Because the artillery in the bushes and woods on the riverbank had no cover cover, the original dozen artillery pieces were suddenly dumbfired, and almost all the artillery in the bushes collapsed, and more than 100 gunners were also killed and wounded.

Fortunately, the artillery in the woods on the riverbank was blocked by trees, and the lookouts and surveyors on the British warships did not notice, and the trunks also blocked some of the British shells, and the five guns inside did not suffer much damage.

Immediately afterwards, four more shells were fired from the woods on the riverbank, hitting the British warships in the river, but none of them hit. Moreover, a cannon in the woods, due to too many pig iron pores in the barrel, was overheated at once, and exploded with a bang, killing and wounding the two gunners next to him.

Seeing that the rebel artillery on the shore was dumbed by the fire of their own warships, his face was a little ruddy again. He started to get a little excited, and firing a thousand shots was his favorite thing!

Under the command of Chad, the British warships were shelled again, and more than 100 shells were poured into the narrow woods, and with the violent explosion of several howitzer shells and the sound of solid shells hitting iron, the artillery in the woods was completely muted.

Pouting in smugness, Cha ordered the warship to step back 200 yards, making it more difficult for the guns of the Sand Point Battery to hit his own warship. The guns on your own warships, especially the flagship and the steam-armed merchant ships, can still hit the batteries, but the accuracy is worse.

Of course, the other sixth-level battleships that came to the United States also borrowed fifth-class battleships, as well as two fast warships, but because of the small caliber of the guns installed, although they could barely hit the battery, they had already broken through the effective range and completely lost their accuracy.

While the British warships were retreating and firing guns, the rebels' Shajiao battery never stopped firing. When the British warship retreated a hundred meters, three more rounds of artillery were fired.

Unfortunately, among the British warships, a fast warship, which had already been damaged, was damaged again, and it began to enter the water, and the hull of the ship also tilted.

For the Far Eastern Fleet, which lacks warships, every warship is very precious. But the damage to this fast ship was so badly that it was about to capsize and sink.

I can't help but grit my teeth for a while! Originally, he only despised these rebels, but now he has become extremely hateful!

He ordered the sixth-class battleship and two rowboats to help the damaged fast warship, tow the fast warship away from the artillery fire area, and arrange temporary emergency repairs along with the damaged wooden sailing gunboat in front of him. But the damage to this fast warship was too bad, and it did not enter the warship maintenance dock on Hong Kong Island, and I am afraid that it will not be able to continue the battle.
