The Chinese fleet discovered the "Rijin" attempt, temporarily stopped bombarding the "Dong," which had no strength to fight back, and shifted its artillery fire to the "Rijin." Soon, one after another, large-caliber shells continued to fire at the "Rijin," forming bursts of water on the sea around it, and the "Rijin" staggered forward in the rain of bullets and sailed toward the shore.

At this moment, with a loud bang, the tail of the hull of the "Sunjin" exploded, and a huge fireball rose up. The stern of the "Nisshin" first began to sink, and gradually it was submerged by the sea, and the bow of the "Rijin" was immediately raised high, erected in the air, and stayed for a while before it reluctantly sank into the sea.

After sinking the "Rijin", the Chinese fleet moved its artillery fire back to the "East", and soon a large-caliber armor-piercing shell penetrated and exploded under the No. 1 gun position on the port side of the "East", leaving a terrifying hole in the port side of the "East" ironclad. The hull of the "East", which had been hit by a huge bomb, trembled tremblingly, but this was only the beginning of the disaster, and before the Japanese officers and men could react from the panic caused by this hit, another large-caliber shell came one after another.

The next shell hit the same position as the previous one, but this shell was more powerful than the armor-piercing shell that exploded just now, and it was supposed to be a high-explosive shell. Shells exploded inside the ship "East". It may be that the huge impact air flow and fragments generated by the explosion ignited the ammunition pile, and the "East" ironclad ship emitted a series of huge explosions, and the impact force generated by the explosion of black medicine tore a larger hole in the hull plate on the port side of the "East" on the one hand, and rushed to the main deck with a roar on the other hand, leaving two huge holes on the left and right sides of the main deck.

The side panels of the first floor of the "East" ironclad ship were blasted open, and the rushing waves broke the wooden stakes and beams on the upper deck, and large holes appeared on the left and right sides of the upper deck, causing the hull to lose its balance. The hull of the "East" then tilted, and seawater began to pour in.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yiqing couldn't help but want to cheer.

At this time, there were three more Chinese cruisers on the sea filled with gunsmoke!

Lin Yiqing thought he was wrong at first, but soon he found out that it was indeed a Chinese cruiser. The Chinese warships were approaching at high speed, and like the others, the dragon flag was flying high on the mast. Lin Yiqing flew to the front and saw the names of the ships clearly: "Weiyuan", "Henghai", and "Kangji".

The names of these three warships were not unfamiliar to him, but when he looked at them carefully, he still found that they were quite different from the three Chinese-made warships of the same name that existed in history.

Thinking that the scale of this dragon flagship team was much larger than he originally imagined, Lin Yiqing couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

What kind of capable man has built such a fleet that is enough to conquer the four seas!

Could it be that the young man named Lin Yizhe, who is very similar to himself?

Probably in order to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible, the three Chinese warships moved forward at full speed, and at this moment, a paddle gunboat appeared in front of them!

This paddlewheel gunboat is none other than the Japanese Navy's "Kasuga".

At the beginning of the war, the "Kasuga", which was beaten by the Chinese cruiser fleet and smoked, knew that it was completely a target in this battle, and the "Kasuga" did not fall in love with the battle, but chose to retreat. Although the "Kasuhi" suffered a lot of shells in the encounter with the Chinese cruiser, fortunately they were all small-caliber machine shells, and although many sailors on the deck were killed, fortunately the hull was not seriously damaged and the engine was intact, so it escaped from the battlefield with the help of the Chinese cruiser's siege of the "Dong" and "Rijin", and the Chinese artillery fleet besieging the "Fengxiang" and "Meng Chun".

But the Japanese never expected that three Chinese cruisers would suddenly appear in front of them.

Seeing this paddle gunboat with the Japanese flag, the three Chinese cruisers immediately and unceremoniously began to bombard, although the "Kasuga" tried its best to resist, but under the absolute superior firepower of the three Chinese cruisers, it was quickly shot in many places, first the paddle wheel on one side was damaged, and it circled on the sea, and then all the guns on the ship were destroyed, and a large fire was ignited, and a large amount of water entered the side of the hull, and it soon capsized.

After sinking the "Kasuga", the newly arrived three ships continued to sail towards the battlefield, and at this time the Japanese fleet had no warships floating on the surface of the sea except for the "East" ironclad ship.

Lin Yiqing clearly saw that the deck of the "East" was no longer a scene of the world. There were corpses and wounded lying everywhere, the sound of shell explosions and painful screams resounded, it may be that the enemy's artillery fire was too terrifying, some Japanese sailors actually held their heads and shrank in the corner, screaming desperately, and some people sat there, clasped their hands together, and chanted "Nan no Amitabha"! There were only a few gunners, who were still insisting on the operation of artillery firing.

The three newly arrived Chinese cruisers duly fired an accurate salvo that completely dumbed out the guns of the "East". After a while, the "Fujing" raised its flag, and the artillery fire of the Chinese warships subsided one after another.

Lin Yiqing saw that the fire of the "East" had been extinguished, but he was not worried, because he could see that the ironclad ship was no longer capable of fighting. Although the Chinese warships ceased fire, they were not worried that the "Dong" would escape.

A special flag -- the "white flag" -- was raised on the mast of the "East" ironclad ship, and the meaning of this white flag was quite clear.

The "Fujing" lowered the dinghy, but just as the Chinese dinghy was slowly moving towards the "Dong," the white flag of the "Dong" was suddenly lowered, and then a shot was fired at the dinghy.

Seeing that the shells fired by the Japanese exploded not far from the dinghy, stirring up a high column of water and almost overturning the dinghy, the single-barreled machine guns and five-barreled machine guns on the "Fujing" roared almost simultaneously, and the Gatling machine guns on the mast also opened fire. Then the main and secondary guns of the ships began to fire again.

The salvo of 12 Chinese warships could be said to be extremely ferocious, and the "East" was instantly surrounded by flames and smoke, and the "East" could not withstand such a blow at all, and the hull of the ship began to tilt violently to the right, and Lin Yiqing saw that the white flag was raised again on the mast of the "Dong" -- a white sheet much larger than an ordinary white flag.
