It was one of four new ships that Britain had given to the Indian fleet, but it was different from the other three. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The Kolkata is the latest development, and its performance is comparable to that of the second-generation 'Mingdezu' class warships.

Only in terms of speed, there is something missing!

Compared with Hyejong 2, it is only a small distance.

It can be said that the 'Calcutta' was the only one of so many British warships on the field that could compete with Huizong II.

Of course, Britain alone will not be able to develop this new warship for a while. Therefore, a large part of its technology was stolen from the Ming Dynasty through abnormal means. Coupled with its own strong shipbuilding level, in a short period of time, it has developed a warship comparable to the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that what Britain doesn't know is that Daming had long expected that with the launch of the 'Mingdezu' class warship, the leakage of technology was inevitable. released all kinds of modified technical information in advance, so that all foreign spies who were ambushed in Daming could steal them as clever ones.

During this period, many deeply hidden spies can also be exposed. Let Daming's Intelligence Department usher in another bumper harvest.

As a result, after Britain got these materials, they were still happy. However, the warships built on the basis of these technical data are always full of errors and omissions. After wasting a lot of manpower and material resources, a relatively perfect warship was finally developed.

However, the time was a full year later than Daming.

Up to now, there are only a few second-generation steel warships produced by the British. In terms of quantity, it is far less than the second-generation warships in service in service of the Ming Dynasty. The 'Kolkata' is one of the few ships.

Equipping it with the Indian fleet is to make it defend against the Ming Dynasty. So as not to appear too weak in the face of the South Sea Fleet.

It was this battleship that gave Heimler confidence. Let him have the courage to fight with Huizong No. 2, who is in the way, and try his best.

But when the three Ming warships rushed over with their sailboats, he didn't dare to rush forward again. He hurriedly let the battleship, which was half a section behind, quickly move closer. Aim your guns at the sailboat.

Anyway, no matter what means are used, you can't let a terrifying sailing ship get close!

So boom boom...

Countless cannonballs dragged long sparks and shot at the rushing Ming warship.

On the Xuanzong No. 2, Chen Jiasheng tried to stabilize his body and kept adding shells to the artillery. After adjusting the angle of the knife neck, Qin Daniu immediately fired back. This set of processes is quite tacitly coordinated.

The rest of the squads were just like them. Keep repeating the same action, just to defeat all enemies who dare to provoke the Ming Dynasty.

As the distance closed, the shells of both sides intertwined. In an instant, a large burst of sparks erupted. This in turn caused the surrounding shells to explode.

Finally, a light curtain with a fire is formed, which runs straight across the sea. It looks beautiful, but it has an air of destruction that cannot be ignored.

And the position of the light curtain is not fixed, but as the Ming battleship approaches, it constantly shifts in the direction of the British battleship.

When it was offset to a certain distance, the Ming battleship was also about to enter the range of the British battleship. Xuanzong No. 2, Shenzong No. 2, and Muzong No. 2 immediately followed the example of Huizong No. 2 before, turned around, brushed the fire of the British battleship, and rushed back.

The towed sailboat, like an arrow from Lixuan, crashed headlong into the fire of the British battleship.

After dodging a few flying shells, plunge into the burning light curtain.

The earth-shattering bang was repeated, and the waves several meters high spread again. It's just that this time the British battleships were prepared in advance and separated from a relatively safe distance, so they were not greatly affected. Except for a few guns that blew up and a few people were injured, no battleship lost its combat effectiveness.

On the contrary, the three warships of the Ming Dynasty were more obviously affected by the fact that they were slightly apart.

In a moment, the waves of fire dispersed, and the waves of air dispersed. The battlefield besieging the 'Warrior' in the distance also cooled down. The sound of the cannon had stopped, except for the crackling and exploding sound of the Warrior as it burned, and the only sound was the rolling and colliding of the waves.

Heimler's eyes were red as he watched as the Warrior slowly sank into the water along with the fire. Angry, he rushed out of the captain's room and fired several shots at the Hyejong 2.

It's a pity that the distance is too far, and all of them are lost.

He was also shocked by the explosion just now!

Because so far, in his limited memory, it is the first time he has seen such a terrifying explosion! Let him secretly be frightened, how many explosives Da Ming has loaded on that sailboat!

But the truth is. Those sailboats were not only loaded with all the ammunition of the Burmese sailors, but also the most advanced shells that had just been produced by the Ming Dynasty.

Its main ingredient is trinitro-toluene, which is more powerful than the bitter, taste, and acid shells currently used. On the way here, the Second Division tried it, and its power is indeed beyond doubt. It's just that the weight brought is not much, and it is a bit wasted in naval battles with a very low hit rate.

So Ou Ziwen asked people to move to the sailboat and made such a shocking explosion.

Looking at the effect, it's obviously good.

By this time, the Warrior had sunk underwater, leaving only a few ripples on the surface. The warships on the Ming side, at this time, all ceased fire. Although Heimler hated it in his heart, he did not dare to act rashly. He ordered his ships not to open fire.

At this time, two fast scissors flying white flags sailed from the side of Daming to the opposite Britain. Heimler immediately raised his binoculars and found that the boats were filled with soldiers in British naval uniforms.

If you count it, there are one hundred and twenty-one people.

Officers who knew the soldiers immediately reported that they were soldiers aboard the Warrior.

This made Heimler a little puzzled, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Daming's gourd. So he sent someone over to pick up the soldiers of the two fast-cutting boats and interrogate them carefully.

After a while, an officer sent a letter. It was said that it was the commander of the Ming Dynasty and asked the captured soldiers to bring it.

Heimler opened the letterhead with twelve doubts. It was found that there was only one sentence on it - 'Please British battleships, immediately leave the exercise sea area of the Ming Dynasty.' ’。

He immediately understood that Daming was going to stop fighting.

However, his Indian fleet lost three ships and suffered many casualties. In the end, did Da Ming want to use such a fluttering sentence to send his Indian fleet away?

"Can't! You can't just leave it at that! ", he roared in his heart. In an instant, the letterhead was crumpled into a ball, and after throwing it under his feet and stepping on it three times, he was still angry!

Pick it up again, set it on fire, and burn it to ashes.

A sea breeze blew, and the ashes drifted to the surface. The hatred in his heart also rushed into his mind! (To be continued.) )
