Chu He let go of the hand of the captain of the Kunlun Mountain battleship on the edge of the twisted and deformed bridge armor, and this bloody hand had just been let go by Chu He, and it hung down weakly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ignoring the blood oozing from his forehead, Chu He looked through the cracks in his broken armor and looked at the sea in the distance.

There, on the battleship HMS Liverpool, the British Navy's 381 mm guns, were spewing a ball of fire.

After all, he was defeated, Chu He thought depressedly. His fleet was gone, and three new battleships of the British Navy were lying in front of him almost unscathed.

There was no chance left for Chu He, and after suffering a small loss in the face of the battleship Qianshan, the cautious British Navy never took any more risks.

Taking advantage of the larger caliber of their guns and the overwhelming advantage of their speed, the three British battleships took the initiative from beginning to end.

The battleship Kunlun Mountain, as the flagship of the Nanyang Fleet of the Ming Empire, was taken care of by three warships, and all five turrets were damaged, and it was no longer possible to even fire back.

Although it was still floating on the sea, the battleship Kunlun Mountain no longer had any combat capability at this moment. Its turret was exploding, its chimney was collapsing, and the bridges were half blown off.

In the face of an enemy several times stronger than himself, the battleship force of the Ming Empire, which has been formed by people to have a weapon generation gap, even if there is a commander like Chu He, he is still powerless to turn the tables after all.

"Boom!" A cannonball exploded not far from the port side of the battleship Kunlunshan, and the splash of water blocked Chu He's view of the battleship Liverpool.

By the time the water fell, another shell had exploded in the middle of the hull of the battleship Kunlunshan, blowing up a chimney.

"Is there still a gun emplacement that can fire back? Keep firing! Keep firing! Chu He turned around and shouted loudly to the remaining officers on the bridge.

There was silence in reply, there were lifeless corpses lying all over the place, and the rest of the people were wounded, where could they continue to fight?

"Sir! The damage management class has just lost contact...... As for the cannons, there are none. "The officer who spoke was originally in charge of the damage management command, but now he is the largest officer among all the people present, except for Chu He.

"Boom!" The sound of an explosion in the stern was heard, and the aft turret was blown apart by the explosion, and the huge barrel fell to the deck with a screeching sound of metal twisting and grinding.

The loud grinding sound even drowned out the sound of the waves crashing against the hull, and the towering aft mast collapsed and fell into a sea of fire.

"Can you contact the Jungnan Mountain?" Chu He wiped the blood on his forehead with his sleeve and asked the officer behind him.

The officer staggered, and replied, weeping, "General! The entire telegraph room has been destroyed, and we have no way to contact the outside now......"

The battleship Kunlunshan, which was suddenly shot, lost the ability to communicate before it even had time to hand over the command of the fleet.

Although there was a spare telegraph room at the tail of the ship, it was hit immediately after the bridge, and Chu He's last telegram had no chance to be sent.

The commander-in-chief of the Nanyang Fleet of the Ming Empire could only sigh helplessly at this time, and gave up his plan to explain the future.

The stern telegraph room, which had lost contact, sent the last telegram at this time, because it was impossible to obtain Chu's order, and this telegram was sent very vaguely: "Our ship has been hit and is on fire and exploding. ”

Because he did not receive the order to abandon the ship, and did not confirm that his battleship would definitely sink, the telegraph room could only send such a telegram to inform himself of the situation of the battleship.

On the other side of the battlefield, the battleship Zhongnanshan had no time to take care of the flagship that was being bombarded. Now the battleship is being besieged by two new British battleships, which are also frequently shot and have no way to fight back.

The weapons of the two sides are too different, and the Ming Empire does not have any advantage in tactics, and there is no suspense about the final result.

Although the commander of the allied fleet, Admiral Balek Lem, took most of the battleships with him, the gap between generations still dragged down Chu's fleet.

If nothing happens, within ten minutes, Chu and the main force of the Nanyang Fleet, which originally had seven battleships, will be completely annihilated.

Of course, if nothing else, the coalition's decoy fleet will also be crippled by the Ming Empire's detachment at this time.

The explosion of the battleship Montenegro was silent, and the Korean signal battleship was hit by 10 rounds of 356 mm caliber shells at this moment, and there was no sign of returning fire.

A few minutes ago, the captain of this battleship ordered the ship to be abandoned, and the battleship of the Ming Empire did not have the slightest intention of letting go of this battleship, and as they approached, they frequently greeted this unlucky opponent with their main guns.

The Ming Empire detachment, which had already gained local battlefield advantages, was passing the Korean signal battleship at this time, and also killed the Ceylon landing ground behind the decoy fleet.

On the battleship Guan Yu, which had been far away from the war zone, Miao Shengye looked at the smoke in the distance in pain, and his nails had pierced into his palms because his fists were clenched too tightly.

The Kunlun Mountain battleship, the flagship of the Ming Empire, has not withdrawn from the battle, and it is still fighting for its homeland.

But the battleship Guan Yu, which the speaker of Ceylon was riding, had already escaped from the war zone at this time, and compared to his opponent Chu He, Miao Shengye felt that he was living a very despicable life.

The battle he personally commanded turned out to be what it is now...... There were still 20,000 Ceylonese officers and soldiers on the beach, and this landing may have been a failure because of his retreat.

"Damn! If I don't retreat, the pressure on the landing ground now will be much less! Miao Shengye looked at the sea in the distance and sighed regretfully.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured...... Admiral Balek Lem's fleet will soon arrive on the battlefield! The captain of the Guan Yu opened his mouth to report the latest news.

Let's hope it's in time. In his heart, Miao Shengye said helplessly. If this landing fails, then his record of completely annihilating the Nanyang Fleet of the Ming Empire will be greatly reduced.

Because compared to the loss of 14 battleships of the Ming Empire, the tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Ceylon plus several battleships are obviously not much less valuable......

If you count the bankruptcy of the strategic goal of capturing Luzon, Miao Shengye feels that he is simply defeated.
