This time, the battleship Damaoshan was in a catastrophe. With the absolute superiority www.biquge.info of the enemy's battleships, the Omoyama, which had already significantly reduced its speed, became the target of the coalition fleet.

After a round of shelling, more than one more 356 mm caliber shell hit the battleship Daimoyama. More flames tumbled out of the firelight, and even bigger explosions rose between the explosions.

British commander Balek? Admiral Lerm looked at the Ming Empire battleship with a huge fire in the distance, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

In naval battles, the first side to sink the enemy ship tends to have higher morale. And the subsequent battles will also be more advantageous.

Now, the battleship Damaoshan has been shrouded in flames and is about to begin to sink, which is definitely good news for the coalition fleet on the superior side.

"Catch up with the enemy's main fleet and keep firing! Hit the intact battleship that strikes the opponent's assault! "Balek? Admiral Lem commanded.

After saying the order of the main fleet, he opened his mouth and instructed the officer in charge of sending the telegram: "Let the guerrilla fleet sink the Ming battleship that caught fire, and then bite the tail of the opposing fleet and continue to attack!" ”

Receiving his order, the coalition fleet began to divert its artillery fire, besieging the battleship Jingtingshan, which was very close and protruding alone in front of the fleet.

In the firelight, the battleship Damaoshan is still fighting against the three new battleships of the British Empire that are getting closer and closer.

As the distance gradually narrowed, the battleships of the Ming Empire relied on maneuver and luck to avoid enemy shelling.

Standing on the already tilted bridge, the captain of the battleship Omoyama no longer had the strength to press his wounds, because a 381 mm caliber shell hit the vicinity of the bridge, affecting half of the commanders on the bridge.

The captain, who still had blood on his face, looked at his subordinates lying motionless on the floor, with a wry smile on his face: "I want to...... Go home and take a look before you go......"

His voice was drowned out by the sound of explosions and fires around him, and the flames rushed into the command room of the bridge, and the explosion then rang out, and the battleship Damaoshan broke in two in a ball of fire.

At this time, about 10 kilometers away, three new British battleships formed a column and sailed past the battleship Damaoshan, which had begun to sink.

This Ming Empire warship, which used its body to block the enemy's new battleship, at this moment, its cocked tail, propeller and rudder were already exposed on the sea.

Right next to the battleship that had sunk, the battleship Jingtingshan, which was alone, began to be unable to support it. It was hit twice by the enemy, and already smoke was rising.

Although the battleship Jingtingshan had been trying to sink the enemy's wounded battleship Ganning, as the distance between the two sides became farther and farther away, its fire could no longer accurately hit the Ganning.

Now, this seemingly unruly battleship of the Ming Empire was beaten to the point of being powerless in the face of the entire 11 battleships of the coalition fleet alone.

Some of the shells landed on the sea around the battleship, stirring up columns of water like hills; Some of the shells hit the ship's armor directly, bursting with sparks of steel.

The battle has been fought to this point, and for the Ming Empire, the rest is just cruelty. Because of the absolute inferiority in quantity and quality, the losses will increase little by little over time, until the total annihilation of the army......

"Report to the General! The telegram from the Damaoshan ...... "A telegraph officer walked up behind Chu He and handed him a telegraph with a small line written on it.

"Our ship has lost its ability to move, but all the officers and men of the Damaoshan will fight to the death......" Chu glanced at the telegram on it, and then threw the paper at his feet.

He didn't speak, just looked at the sea in the distance, as if he wanted to see the figure of the familiar battleship appear on the sea level.

Unfortunately, he could no longer see the battleship Damaoshan, which had been unrecognizable and sunk into the icy waters.

"Report! A telegram from the Kyeejeongsan Sho! Another officer who delivered the telegram walked up behind Chu He and handed over a new telegram.

Chu He took it and took a look, and it clearly said that Chu He didn't want to believe the news: "Our ship confirms that the battleship Damaoshan was killed and sunk!" ”

"Command! The fleet keeps course! Keep moving! "Chu He now has only five battleships left in his hands, and now it is advantageous that these battleships are still intact and have not engaged the enemy army.

The Jingtingshan has been completely abandoned due to its speed. When Chu He gave the first order to keep the two ships on course, their fate had already been decided.

There seemed to be a small insect crawling over his face, and Chu He originally thought that he should be a person with a heart like a rock, but now it seems that this may not be the case.

Gently brushing his face with his hand, Chu He threw the steam-stained newspaper in his hand at his feet again, still looking at the sea in the distance and did not look back.

He was afraid that when he turned back, he would let everyone see his distorted face, see those red eyes, and have an unwilling expression.

"Report...... Checkmate! The telegraph officer, who had just left not long ago, returned with a telegram in his hand: "Another telegram...... The ...... of the Gyeongjeongsan

Chu He didn't look back, stretched out his hand, and waited for the other party to come forward and put the telegram in his hand before pulling through the telegram and reading it.

The above news upset him even more - "Our ship was hit, the power was reduced, and the hull caught fire...... Like the battleship Daimoyama, our ship will fight to the death with the enemy until the last moment! ”

Leaving the third telegram at his feet, Chu He felt that for the first time in his 61 years of life, he felt so depressed and sad.

It was he who brought this fleet out, and now he is going to give it to the enemy one by one. Those once familiar faces will sink to the cold bottom of the sea with the battleship.

God knows who will win this war, but Chu He knows that it must not be him, and it must not be the fleet led by him!

Now he just hopes that he can use his defeat to exchange for a brilliant victory for his motherland! A great victory not seen in 200 years!

This victory belongs to his nation and his family, but only ...... Not his own......

Tomorrow will make up for it, don't worry......
