The generals and officers of the Qing Dynasty were indeed a bunch of self-contained megalomaniacs, but this does not mean that they were stupid people without brains.

Fearlessness has always been born out of ignorance.

So when the officers and soldiers of these Guangdong Navy Divisions finally saw the warships of the real so-called "Xiyi Ghosts" with their own eyes, they were all compared.

It felt like you were going to fight someone else. From the rumors, you thought that you were going to do it just a fifth-grade elementary school student who loved to play and masturbate, and when you arrived, you found out that it was the same as the international sanda champion......

I don't really have much of a feeling other than wanting to "dog leash" right away.

This is the case with the current Manchu and Guangdong sailors, especially the soldiers who are in a more conspicuous position on the deck and have better eyesight, whose mouths look like fish out of the water, and the boss can't close them at all. It is estimated that the three views on the **** kingdom have been preliminarily shattered.

In this battle, the highest-ranking officer of the Guangdong Navy Division, Vice Admiral Chen Liansheng, was carefully watching the form of the Qing warship in the distance with a monocular, and his heart was also shocked. The hands holding the telescope trembled slightly, and it took a long time to put it down, and his face sank like water with a long sigh.

Chen Liansheng has a high status in the historical evaluation of later generations, and is the first minority general in modern history to sacrifice his life for the country. This time, he was originally recuperating at home while sick, and he was entrusted by Lin Zexu to take him to the battlefield with illness, but he never thought that the enemy would be so strong.

He pondered for a while, and then ordered one of the generals around him: "Immediately notify all the staff, let the 60 warships and frigates and recruit fishermen form separate teams." The Xiyi ship is strong and sharp, and it is not possible to face the enemy, and use guerrilla tactics to deal with it! ”

I have to say that Chen Liansheng is one of the few people among the Manchu generals who are truly talented and learned. It only took a moment to regain his composure from the shock, and at the same time judged that it was more appropriate to use scattered guerrilla tactics against the relatively small number of British steel ships. After all, even if the British battleships had a large number of guns, the ammunition storage was certain.

At this time, you can see the fancy of the Guangdong naval division, and the efficiency of transmitting signals between various warships is extremely low. And because they had been frightened by the British army's high ship cannons, it was even more chaotic.

However, fortunately, Yang Ye's Weiwu warship was relatively close to the flagship, and his personal quality was not bad, so he quickly completed the task of the formation and set up a combat formation......

While the Qing army was in a hurry, the British navy on the opposite side also began to act. This time, six all-steam-powered paddle steamers participated in the battle, which seemed to be to promote the strength of the so-called empire on which the sun never sets, and put it on the front line with great force. At this time, these iron-armored monsters all let out a "woo" whistling sound that made the Qing army chill, and rushed towards the Qing army camp against the wind!

Among them, the first to bear the brunt was Yang Ye's mighty warship.

It is said that Zhao Wushuang was hiding in the location of the armory in the cabin, but when he saw a large pile of scrap copper and iron, even he, who had always been angry, felt pity for the Manchus.

"This Nima, I can just go to the waste recycling station and pick up a kitchen knife, it's better than this thing, right?!" His swarthy body streaked across the cold ground, coiling around a spear that was about to rot.

Just as he was about to walk around the cabin, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps. He quickly hid in the cracks of the large number of wooden boxes piled up, and watched the movement outside with cold snake eyes.

With a bang, the door was violently opened. A large group of people dressed in shabby soldiers' costumes rushed in and began to pick out all kinds of weapons and equipment, apparently the naval battle with the British had officially begun! However, the selection of weapons was also a mess and noisy, mixed with angry shouts and anxious shouts, which made Zhao Wushuang upset for a while. If it weren't for the fact that these low-level soldiers were all Han Chinese, they would have been killed on the spot one by one.

The soldiers had chosen their weapons, and they all rushed out in droves, apparently to the deck. Zhao Wushuang thought about it and decided to sneak up quietly to see the situation. After all, the official fight is about to begin, and if you are careful, no one will notice that there is a snake on the ship. This kind of real opportunity to participate in the course of history is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he is eager to see how it was fought......

He bent his body, his muscles tensed, and he bounced away. The whole body brushed against the ground like a slingshot that was pulled out, and crossed a distance of more than ten meters! After two or three clicks, he reached the hatch leading to the upper deck, and the snake body went up the ladder.

"Huhu, it's better to be outside, breathable. The master is about to suffocate to death in this cabin. Zhao Wushuang complained as he crawled slowly, hiding behind the wooden boxes on the deck to prevent shells and various supplies. Although he is already a snake, it stands to reason that he should prefer cold and gloomy, but after all, there is a human soul. So there will be this psychological effect of being stuffy in the cabin.

Pulling back to the battlefield in the sea of Guangzhou Port, the Guangdong Navy Division and the British Navy fleet were already very close.

The deputy manager next to Yang Ye pressed his waist knife with his hand, and said to him with a heavy face: "Boss Yang, according to the current wind direction and sea conditions, in half a minute, the Xiyi warship will enter the range of our cannons. The brethren were almost ready. ”

At this time, Yang Ye's expression was solemn, not as easy-going as he was when he and Zhao Wushuang were "chatting" in the backyard on weekdays, and the whole person seemed to be a sharp knife out of the sheath. He said in a deep voice: "I'm worried about the strength of the Xiyi ship, if the range of the cannon is longer than ours. I'm afraid it's not good......"

Boom Boom Boom Boom !!

As soon as he finished speaking, the six all-steam-powered battleships on the opposite side all opened fire in unison! Hundreds of ship cannons opened fire at the same time, what kind of earth-shattering might it be? Hundreds of heavy, dark cannonballs whistled out of the chambers, with the smell of death, as if they were coming from the depths of hell.

Yang Ye's pupils instantly shrank to the size of a needle: "How is it possible!" Xiyi's ship guns have a range so much farther than ours! ”

The British Navy on the opposite side did not seem to underestimate the enemy because of the downfall of the Guangdong naval division, and went all out at the beginning, taking out an all-steam ironclad battleship that although the tonnage was not large, it technically represented the pinnacle of the industrial revolution. Moreover, it was the fire salvo of the ship's artillery, which caused fear to the Qing army's sailors.

Boom, boom.

Several Qing warships closest to the British army were hit by whistling shells, sawdust flew everywhere, and screams came and went.

Fortunately, Yang Ye's mighty warship was far away from the right flank of the entire naval formation, so it was not hit by the shells of the British ironclad steam ships. But those columns of water that rose into the sky had already scared the dozens of soldiers of the warship enough. Some people actually threw down the hug in their hands and cried......

The situation of the entire Qing army and naval division was suddenly chaotic!

Although Zhao Wushuang hid behind those wooden crates on the deck, the sensitivity of the snakes made him easily aware of the shadow of death. He was shocked by the scorching smell of high-speed flying cannonballs and the friction of the air, the pungent smell of gunpowder, and the screams of those Qing soldiers who died tragically.

"That's what it is...... Is it a real war? It was so tragic and so cruel in the beginning! "As a strange snake, he has a much more sensitive five senses than humans, and he is more able to feel the breath of war directly. Even, those mysterious things such as "death" and "fear" in the dark can be truly felt by him.

At this moment, Zhao Wushuang looked up at the hazy sky covered with lead clouds. There was not only artillery fire in the sky, but also blood-red evil qi rising into the sky!

"This is the baptism of war! These evil qi can make me stronger! ”

At this moment, it was as if a door had suddenly been opened in Zhao Wushuang's heart, as if he had realized something, but as if he had not realized anything. But from this moment on, the hesitation and fear in his heart disappeared, and a bloodthirsty instinct innate to snakes awakened.

Let's go!

My first real battle!
