505 Significance
The battleship Lushan is really in a bad situation now, and the three British battleships with extremely fast speed have already taken him as a target. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
What made the captain of the battleship Lushan most depressed was that his main guns could only fire at the main fleet of the coalition forces on the other side.
Unable to interfere with the enemy's aiming and firing with shells, the battleship Lushan was soon hit by a shell from a British battleship.
Compared with the Ming Empire, the gunners of the British Navy are only at a high level, after all, they are really a country that relies on the navy for food.
Although the naval artillery battles of the Ming Empire were known for their accuracy, they could only be regarded as half a catty compared to the United Kingdom, which started with the navy.
With such accurate gunners, the battleship Lushan could only bear it depressed. But the good news is not nothing, that is, the warships of the Ming Empire, in the process of fighting, also hit the battleships of Ceylon.
The battleship Wei Qing became the target of the Ming Empire's naval fleet, and Chu He naturally had to give himself a few more cushions under extremely unfavorable circumstances.
He has never been the kind of person who is willing to suffer, so knowing that the Lushan will not last long, he ordered the fleet to target the Weiqing in Ceylon and attack non-stop.
The Wei Qing was already on fire at this time, and its appearance was not much different from the battleship Lishan of the Ming Empire opposite it.
You must know that the five battleships of the Ming Empire were surrounded by 14 battleships of the other side, so while damaging the Weiqing in Ceylon, their own Lishan was also beaten into a sieve.
After all, the army is in an absolute disadvantage, so wanting to exchange one for one is a luxury for Chu and He.
Now he can barely exchange two for one, but after a while, he will not be able to make such an exchange comparison with three battleships left.
As the gap in strength grows wider and wider, the remaining three battleships, Chu and He know, and then replace the opponent's battleship, even if it is a battleship under his command, it will play at a super level.
With a sigh, Chu He looked in the direction of Luzon: "I have done my best...... Now, it's up to the other side! ”
……
On the other hand, of course, the battle situation is obviously much more favorable to the Ming Empire. Miao Shengye's battleship Guan Yu may be the best battleship in the decoy fleet.
The battleship Li Guang had already exploded and burst into flames at this moment, and the battleship of Yandang Mountain of the Ming Empire opposite it was also on fire and smoking at this moment.
After all, the number of battleships on both sides was about the same, and there was no numerical crushing advantage, so the battle to attack the decoy fleet was very stalemate from the beginning.
The two fleets of the Ming Empire were desperately attacking each other's Li Guang battleships; And Ceylon's decoy fleet, at this time, was also desperately attacking the battleship Yandang Mountain of the Ming Empire in order to protect itself.
The battle between the two sides was not far from Luzon, and the rumble of artillery was spectacular. The Ming Empire has a military advantage here, although it is not much, but it can expand this advantage little by little.
After all, the two sides have similar playing styles and skills, so this kind of battle is often easier to win with a slight numerical advantage.
Soon, the Ceylon decoy fleet, which had divine help, was lucky enough to hit the Yandang Mountain, which caught fire and exploded, and was seriously injured.
The battleship Yandang Mountain began to sink with the explosion, and the Ceylon Navy was greatly boosted and seemed to see the hope of total victory.
It's a pity that subsequently, the battleship Li Guang was also hit by the Longhushan. The cheers of the sailors of the Ceylon Navy did not last 2 minutes when they stopped with the loud sound of the explosion and capsizing of the battleship Li Guang.
Miao Shengye stood on the bridge, anxiously waiting for the outcome of this naval battle. He knew that victory would be his, but he didn't expect that the process of victory would become so tortuous.
He had already heard that the main fleet had already sunk two battleships of the Ming Empire, and two of them had been severely damaged.
And the price paid by Ceylon was nothing more than two warships seriously damaged. In Miao Shengye's view, this is a victory worth celebrating.
Unfortunately, how could he be in the mood to celebrate now? He is being besieged by the battleships of the Ming Empire and could be hit by a cannonball at any moment......
On the other hand, the British admiral Balek? Admiral Lemm's choice not to save him when he saw death also made Miao Shengye feel guilty.
Was this the intention of the British to replace a more obedient principal in Ceylon? really threw him aside as a bait and left him to fend for himself!
Miao Shengye has not encountered a dangerous situation, but now this kind of dangerous situation without any backhand and preparation really makes him, who has been in a high position for a long time, a little frightened.
After all, he is the speaker of Ceylon, a ruthless man who once confronted Ge Tianzhang! Die in battle on an unfamiliar sea, shame or not?
Just in his heart he secretly scolded Balek? When Admiral Lerm saw that he was dead, the battleship Montenegro was hit by a shell from the Ming Empire!
Yes, it is the battleship of the Ming Empire that defected in the Indian Ocean...... This time, the ship was full of sailors from the Ceylon Navy, and it did not turn around and run away.
But maybe it's the curse of fate, maybe it's the Thousand Mountains and Guo Lihai's manifestation, which was hit by the angry artillery fire of the Ming Empire!
A huge explosion rose in the middle of the battleship, and the flames flooded the battleship's chimney at once. Miao Shengye was on the bridge of the ship, looking at the scene in front of him in horror.
Now, the disadvantage has appeared, although the Ming Empire also lost one battleship, but their luck has improved, and they hit the second Ceylon battleship so quickly.
"Someone! Fast! Hurry to Balek? Admiral Lem sent a telegram! Let him order the guerrilla fleet to turn around! Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming! Seeing the explosion of the Black Mountain, Miao Shengye finally couldn't hold his breath anymore and shouted to his subordinates.
In the midst of his shouting, four warships slowly sank at the same time in this warring sea: the Weiqing and the Black Mountain in Ceylon, and the Lishan and Yandang Mountains of the Ming Empire......
At this moment, the temptations of both sides have ended, and the battlefield has become bloody. Both sides are using this bloodshed to witness the significance of this naval battle.
Never before in the history of mankind have so many battleships been densely sunk in a sea area, and it can even be said that this is the first time that the two sides have used so many warships to engage in a battle after mankind developed the battleship as a weapon for decisive battle at sea.
And the outcome of this naval battle will also determine the order and status of the various related powers in the coming years or even decades.

It's too late to make up for it today, but Long Ling guarantees that the arrears will definitely be made up.
