Li Shen looked at the coalition fleet, which had already entered the attack range, and also ordered the attack. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Prince Gong Yi Xin quietly waited for the arrival of this great battle that would determine his fate, and although his heart was full of pride, it could also be empty.
Li Zhongju led the Zhenwu army to quickly advance towards Kaifeng Mansion, at this moment Li Zhongju and the generals were also very cautious, and at the same time, they also got news about Kaifeng City from the Purple Army.
At this time, Kaifeng City was undoubtedly a military powerhouse, and it was the top priority, and many people in the city were also relocated to a complete place by Prince Gong Yixin.
At this time, on the sea lane from the Yellow Sea to the Bohai Sea, a huge naval fleet was also sailing very fast, and each of them had a firm gaze and a heart full of infinite hope, and they felt that this victory must belong to their navy, which defeated the British fleet. This is the Huaxia Navy led by Li Xiang.
The army continued to sail quietly and quickly towards the north, and Li Xiang also sent people to keep an eye on the front, as long as there was a slight disturbance, Li Xiang would also get the news as soon as possible.
Finally, the Huaxia Navy entered the Bohai Sea, and at the same time, the Beiyang Fleet also discovered that this navy from a distant place, through the mark on the flag, they also found that this was the navy of Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan, and they were also extremely panicked in their hearts, because they had already seen from the other party's equipment that their warships were not as good as the other party's fleet, and how to fight.
The strength of the two sides is not a grade at all, how to fight this battle, but their Beiyang Fleet cannot retreat, and immediately under the command of the commander-in-chief of the fleet, they will meet the Huaxia Navy, they must face this powerful navy, otherwise what have they become? As soldiers, they have to face this war, even if they know that they have little certainty of victory.
Half an hour later, Li Xiang used a telescope to observe an army in front of him coming towards his fleet, and Li Xiang knew without thinking about it that it was the Beiyang Fleet, which was a result of the Manchu Westernization Movement, and was made by Prince Gong Yixin and Zuo Zongtang and others. However, this fleet is not the slightest bit difficult compared to the Huaxia Navy.
Li Xiang quietly observed the Beiyang Fleet, the commander-in-chief of the Beiyang Fleet, also looked at this powerful navy, for a moment, they were no longer calm, especially as they got closer and closer, they could not be calm.
The commander-in-chief of the Beiyang Fleet, Honglu, looked at the Huaxia Navy that was getting closer and closer, and immediately ordered the Beiyang Fleet to open fire, and in an instant, all the ships of the Beiyang Fleet began to ignite, ready to fire shells.
Li Xiang saw this scene accurately, since you want to find death, then don't blame our Huaxia Navy for being polite.
The soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet, after Honglu's order, they all began to prepare, they each prepared, as a soldier, it is their duty to carry out the order, this is also their mission, and no one is allowed to refuse.
At the same time, Li Xiang ordered all the ships of the Huaxia Navy to attack the Beiyang Fleet, and as Li Xiang's order was issued, the Huaxia Navy immediately began to shoot artillery at the Beiyang Fleet. Each of their soldiers is very heroic, and they want to use their fearless courage to repay the favor of the prince.
Boom, boom......
In an instant, the sound of artillery resounded throughout the battlefield, all of them were artillery that could shoot dozens of miles, and their attack speed was also very fast, and many people could not capture the extraordinary trajectory of the shells at all, but this did not affect the progress of the battle between the two sides.
After all, the strength of the Huaxia Navy is much stronger, and their weapons and equipment can be said to explode the equipment of the Beiyang Fleet. Although there are still a lot of shells falling on the sea, but there are many shells that fall on the battleship, and the battleship will immediately enter a panic, especially some clippers and ironclad ships of the Beiyang Fleet, for a time one-third of them have been seriously hit, and many of them have lost their combat effectiveness and can no longer join the battle.
Honglu looked at the ironclad ship on his side and disappeared very quickly, and it can't be said to have disappeared, but it has no combat effectiveness, and in Honglu's eyes, it just disappeared.
An officer of the Beiyang Fleet commanded an ironclad ship, his eyes were firmly fixed on the battlefield ahead, looking for an opportunity, looking for an opportunity to accurately shoot the enemy ship, but soon he found that he simply could not find many opportunities, if not any opportunities. He didn't expect that the defense of the place was so tight, and he was very depressed for a while, but what could he do, he could only continue to look for opportunities, he watched his comrades also find and fired a lot of shells one after another, he panicked, and immediately commanded the ships to fire guns at the Huaxia Navy.
After a while, he found that the shells on his side rarely hit the enemy, and even if they did, they didn't have much effect. What should we do, what else can we do, they can only quietly continue to attack the enemy's ships, and they cannot stop, and once they stop, it will not be all over.
Over time, the Beiyang Fleet did not take advantage of it at all, on the contrary, their losses were very large.
Finally, the battleships of the Beiyang Fleet were also broken by the Huaxia Navy, and for a while, the soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet all looked at the command ship, and they were even more frightened in their hearts, they did not expect that today would be such an ending, and they failed so miserably.
The rest of the warships of the Beiyang Fleet are also even more unbearable, the ironclad ships and clippers are even more unbearable, and the ironclad ships of the Beiyang Fleet are undoubtedly very unbearable. At this time, the Beiyang Fleet can be said to have been defeated, and they were defeated very badly.
Honglu looked at the battlefield, and also knew that the Beiyang Fleet had failed, they were not as good as the Huaxia Navy at all, how could they have beaten the Huaxia Navy.
Honglu's tears flowed down at this time, he cried, cried very sadly, the Beiyang Fleet was almost completely annihilated, the real whole army was annihilated, how did he explain to the imperial court, how to deal with those who believed in him.
The naval battle was over, and the Huaxia Navy led by Li Xiang won the victory, and Li Xiang immediately ordered the Huaxia Navy to sail ships to save the soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet who were about to fall into the sea.
Li Xiang believes that if you help him when people are in the most desperate time, he will definitely be grateful to you, even if he wants to be your enemy in the future, he will think about it.
Li Xiang stood quietly on the deck, looking towards the west, Commander, we will see you in Shuntianfu. (To be continued.) )
