The fleet of the British Empire, so unlucky, is actually falling into the same pit!

When he was in Fuzhou, because he underestimated the three artillery battalions under the Chu army, he was attacked by the Chu army's artillery for a saturation, sinking one and wounding one.

This time, the British Imperial Fleet did not underestimate the Weihaiwei battery, after all, Dundas had already found something unusual, however, not underestimating it is not the same as looking down, the power of the Weihaiwei battery far exceeded Dundas's estimate, not only underestimating the power of artillery, but also underestimating the combat power of the artillery unit!

The artillery of the Lu army is far from being comparable to the artillery of the Chu army, from the beginning of the first battle in Tianjin, until now, for a full six years, Guo Ye attaches the most importance to artillery, after six years of experience, the artillery technology of the Lu army has been infinitely close to the king of artillery, the French army, and even surpassed the French army in some areas, as for the British artillery, it is now not the opponent of the Lu artillery!

Moreover, the artillery on the battery has already set up the shooting elements at various distances here, and adjust the muzzle of the gun at any time according to the position of the British battleship, which is extremely fast, after all, this is on the territory of China, after all, this is on the territory of the Lu army, and the armies in other places are too lazy to do these homework, but the Lu army has already done it ahead! With all the hydrological data in the offshore waters outside Weihaiwei, for the Lu army, it is a huge advantage in hand!

He took it for granted that the artillery technology of the Chu army was equivalent to the military quality of the Lu army, and thought that as long as he was careful, preemptively attacked, and cleaned up the fort with a single artillery fire, everything would be fine.

I didn't expect that Weihaiwei's fort was harder than a turtle shell, and two waves of shells blew up, and Weihaiwei Fort stood still! Instead, he was bitten hard by the Weihaiwei Fort!

The shells that hit the battleship didn't hurt the battleship, but the gunboat couldn't stand it, and the two wooden gunboats were hit several times and suffered heavy damage! Although it has not sunk to the bottom of the sea like the unlucky gunboat outside Fuzhou, it has also been bombed lightly!

Back off?

Obviously, it is impossible, the range of the shells of the British Imperial fleet is such a distance, and now the artillery shells of the Qing army batteries have reached the rear of the fleet, and if they retreat, they may not be able to do anything about the batteries!

Now we can only meet in a narrow way, and the brave wins! Relying on the maneuverability of the battleship, continue to bombard the battery! After all, all the artillery on the turret is fixed on the turret and cannot be moved, as long as they carry out continuous strikes on their artillery, they will definitely be able to break through their protection, even if they can't break through the protection of the chest wall of the fort, they can also kill the Qing army by relying on the violent concussion they are holding!

Dundas gritted his teeth and made up his mind to distinguish between Guo Ye's Lu Jun here!

"Order all the warships to continue to advance forward, give full play to the advantages of the flexibility and mobility of the warships, and launch an attack with all their might! Strive to win Weihaiwei! ”

The British Imperial fleet did not retreat but advanced, and began to continue to attack the north and south batteries of Weihaiwei, and as they advanced, the small-caliber shells on the battleships could also exert their power!

More shells kept pouring down towards the Weihaiwei Fort, constantly bombarding the fort's defense, and it was still not moving!

It's so hard to blow the solid breastwork of the turret!

The attack was not smooth, and the British Imperial fleet was empty and strong, but it was in vain, Dundas was furious, and he had already carried out more than a dozen waves of attacks! More than a thousand shells were fired, and there was still no progress, whether it was a long-range attack or a close attack, it was useless!

What's worse is that the counterattack of the Qing army is still unusually sharp, and a hundred artillery pieces are constantly firing back, and if you are not careful, your own battleship is in danger of capsizing!

You can't go on an offensive like this, retreat, retreat temporarily, and then try to make a good plan!

"Order, all ships retreat back and temporarily withdraw from the battle!"

Dundas had just given the order, and the signal soldiers on the flagship had not had time to beat the flag out, and Weihaiwei had a drastic change!

The two artillery battalions lying in ambush behind the battery have not been engaged in battle, that is, they have been waiting for the best time to attack, what is the best time, that is, when the battle is the fiercest, and the British fleet is closest to the battery!

That is, when Dundas gave the order, the two sides together put nearly 300 artillery pieces into the battle, and the shells were returned, and the intensive shelling was already earth-shattering! Moreover, the nearest battleship to the battery is already less than two kilometers, and at this time, it is the time for the two artillery battalions to exert their might!

One artillery battalion, forty guns, two artillery battalions that is eighty guns, Gao Yi gave an order, and eighty guns opened fire at the same time!

The shells hit the British fleet as it was preparing to retreat even more intensively, overwhelming the sky without warning!

And all the shells of eighty guns were pointed at the British battleships! Pointed at the five battleships of the British army!

Yes......

On the battleship "Elgent", Dundas looked at the sudden cannonballs, completely confused, what the hell, how many cannonballs are there in this Weihaiwei? There were no less than 100 heavy guns on the fort just now, and now there are so many cannons! It is clear that these guns are prepared, otherwise these shells would not all be expected to be pounced by five battleships!

Fooled!

"Quick, quick! Evade now, circumvent! ”

Dundas roared madly, the five battleships are the main warships of the British Empire, and the price of each battleship is not less than 100,000 pounds, absolutely unaffordable, absolutely unaffordable!

The five battleships frantically evaded, but, after all, the artillery fire was too dense, eighty infantry guns, one hundred coastal defense guns, and at the same time, it was definitely a disaster!

Boom Boom Boom ......

One after another, the shells exploded on the battleship, and the battleship fled to the open sea without its life, and it must get out of the battlefield as soon as possible.

However, even so, the battleship has been shot countless times, the most unfortunate thing is that the battleship is the battleship "Atkins", Atkins rushed to the front, and it is also the battleship, the slowest speed, at this time, the slow speed of movement to kill him, more than a dozen shells fell on the battleship Atkins, a group of war flames rose into the air, and the continuous explosions continued to roll the British soldiers up in the sky, and the stumps and broken arms continued to be wasted!

The explosion was so powerful that the successive explosions directly destroyed the power system of the battleship Atkins, and it was completely lying on its stomach, unable to move, and lying alone in the Yellow Sea!

The battleship was scrapped! (To be continued.) )
