Chapter 231: The Second South Sea War

The big war in the north did not affect the south, but just as Li Zhongju was fighting with the Russian army on Lake Baikal, the Western alliance had already broken through the Strait of Malacca and came directly towards the waters of China. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

When the Queen of England heard that the British Imperial fleet was in the east and was defeated by the ships of the Chinans, the Queen of England sent an envoy to contact the rest of the countries to assemble a combined fleet and attack the China in the East again. At the same time, the British also knew that their main opponent was the Zhennan King of the Qing Dynasty in the East, and the Manchu Empire still couldn't wait to kill their Zhennan King.

This was all a few months ago, and now the Western fleet is about to enter the territory of the South Seas, which will be the South China Sea in the future. This is a test for Li Shen, but when Li Xiang's navy went north, it left Li Shen with half of his strength, which also imposed on the strength of the Nanyang Navy, after all, Nanyang has to have a lot of strength to maintain its own security.

At the same time, Li Zhongju also foresaw that Britain would definitely send its navy to attack China's South China Sea again, and there was a saying that a thief's heart would not die, and Li Zhongju believed that Britain would continue to send a fleet to invade China's waters.

However, Li Zhongju was not in a hurry at all, and Li Zhongju was of course well aware of the situation encountered by Li Xiang's fleet.

When Frye and Gerson saw four warships appear behind them, they were very calm and a little happy at the same time. In this way, the people of China were already exhausted and had no way out, so they used all their reserves.

If Li Zhongju knew what Frye and Gerson were thinking at this time, he would definitely be unable to help but scold the two of them for being idiots and self-righteousness, and the Chinese people were something they could figure out.

Li Zhongju then ordered Li Shen to immediately prepare to attack from the south of the British fleet.

In fact, Li Shen's fleet has been following the rear of the British fleet, because the British army is careless and self-righteous, they don't think that there will be a fleet behind them, after all, in the eastern country, they have not encountered this kind of thing, and Li Shen's secret work is also very good, so that the enemy army can not be traced.

Li Shen at this time, with the help of the Hong Kong battery and the cover of Li Xiang's fleet, the British army did not pay attention to their situation in the south at all, their main direction was due east at this time, to be precise, the British army at this time was facing Li Xiang's fleet.

Li Shen's fleet was only seven or eight kilometers away from the British fleet at this time, and after Li Shen received Li Zhongju's order, the whole person instantly became extremely solemn, his waist was straighter, his eyes were more focused, and he immediately ordered all ships to sail towards the British army at full speed.

Li Shen's fleet marched mightily towards the north, and at the same time Li Shen ordered all the warships to prepare to start loading, and then attacked.

Two minutes later, the ships in the rear of the British army had already found an extremely hideous fleet to the south of their fleet, and they immediately began to panic in their hearts, and at the same time reported the news layer by layer.

But it was too late, and Li Shen decisively ordered all ships to open fire on the new fleet, making sure to save Li Xiang's fleet from its predicament.

Li Shen believed that as long as his fleet really joined the battle circle, it would be impossible for the British fleet to resist the front and rear attacks of Li Xiang's fleet and Li Shen's fleet.

As hundreds of howitzers landed on the ships of the British fleet, all the British soldiers were blindfolded in an instant. They didn't panic this time, they didn't flinch, because Vice Admiral Frye was already in good shape, and he commanded the ships in an orderly manner to return fire.

Deep down, Frye still thinks that the British navy is the strongest, unique in the world, and the most powerful country in the world, especially the navy, which is the first in the world, how can it be defeated by the navy of such a backward Chinese people.

Frye's self-confidence deeply infected the people around him, as long as the battleship of the "Lunge" sense remained in the sea, then the British army would not fall, the rice flag would not fall, and the British army would not be considered defeated.

But the addition of Li Shen's fleet has really posed a certain threat to the British fleet, and this threat is not ordinarily small, although Frye doesn't care on the surface, but deep down Frye has actually begun to get nervous.

The most terrible thing about a fleet is not that the enemy is strong, but that it is flanked by the front and rear, disrupting the layout of their warships, and once their warships cannot echo before and after, then it will not be far from a fiasco.

General Frye was a very cerebral general, and in this case, he still commanded the British ships to counterattack Li Xiang's fleet, and at the same time ordered all the battleships in the rear to turn around and meet Li Shen's fleet.

In this way, the pressure on Li Xiang's fleet disappeared in an instant, and Li Xiang's fleet could be evenly matched with the British fleet, and then it would be up to the commanders of the two ships to see who was stronger and who was weaker.

In Frye and Gerson's view, in terms of the ability of the captains of each ship, the British army must definitely throw out the people of China for several streets, after all, the British navy has developed for hundreds of years, and what about the navy of the people? I'm afraid this can only be selected on an ad hoc basis.

The officers and men of the British army would not have thought that the ships commanding Li Xiang's fleet and Li Shen's fleet at this time were all robots that Li Zhongju had exchanged from the battleship system.

These robots are not as strong as British officers and soldiers in ship command and operation? How is this possible! Therefore, Frye's satisfaction is definitely in vain. But Frye can't be blamed for this, how could he think of this?

The Chinese Navy was officially launched, and two powerful fleets erupted their anger at the British fleet, and every soldier did his duty and never allowed to miss a small opportunity.

At the first opportunity, they seized the opportunity and took action, using battleships and ironclads to launch the most powerful attack on the British ships. The British army also resisted, but how much did this help.

With a loud explosion, the British "Annie" No. 4 was completely scrapped, the British battleship lost another one, and the rest of the British soldiers who could be seen had their legs trembling, but the soldiers of the powerful country were afraid of them, and they would do their job firmly.

Gerson was no longer as calm as Frye, but a wave of worry welled up in Gerson's heart, and there was no going back.

Gerson immediately walked quickly to Vice Admiral Fry's side, "General, we have lost five battleships and twenty ironclad ships, and a dozen clippers. Lead, or let's consider retreating! ”

Frye suddenly turned around and yelled, "Get out, how could we British Empire choose to escape, and besides, we won't lose, we won't lose!" ”

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.

What Gerson could see, Frye couldn't see at all, and this was the consequence of Taotian's self-confidence.

At this time, no matter what they do, the British pretend that they are the number one in the world, and they have no scruples just because they are the number one in the world. What about being number one in the world? If you don't have the world in your heart and don't really work for the world, what can you do if you are the first in the world, you can only disappear in the long river of history.

After Li Xiang's pressure was greatly reduced, he immediately ordered all ships to retreat slowly, not to continue to advance, Li Xiang wanted to start a long-distance naval battle with the British army, Li Xiang believed that this would be more sure of his side.

And what about the British soldiers? When they saw the mainland of Hong Kong for the first time, they were so excited and happy. They are already thinking about how to do it in Hong Kong!

The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, and before they can take action, they are immediately interrupted by the soldiers under Li Zhongju's command one after another.

What kind of mood are they in now, almost for a few months at that sea, they finally have the opportunity to actually get to the shore. But they were met with war, which made them feel embarrassed! (To be continued.) )
