Although only the 10 battleships in the front of the 1st Squadron of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th rank fired at the same time, more than 200 naval guns fired a salvo. And the Qing warships that were concentrating on dealing with the fifth and sixth fleets on their left and right sides were suddenly beaten to the ground before they had time to adjust. A large warship of the Qing army, which was first within the range of the ten warships at the front of the first fleet, was fired at by a salvo from the upper and lower decks of these ten warships, and it immediately lost its mobility, and the mast was directly interrupted before it could even make a sound. Even more Jiang the sailors on the deck of their warships were swept away. The Qing soldiers who rushed out of the cabin did not dare to resist at all, and immediately jumped into the water like dumplings to escape. I'm afraid that the next round of shells will fall and it will be my turn to be unlucky.

And another large warship next to it was also hit by this salvo of ten warships and raised the white flag and surrendered on the spot. The ship's pipe band (captain) was not ready to surrender, but the Qing soldiers below couldn't stand it, and they didn't want to die, they directly killed their captain under the leadership of the deputy pipe band, and then took the initiative to hang out the white flag. The murderous First Squadron, as a new force, concentrated its firepower to pack up the two Qing warships, and immediately began to attack the third Qing warship. As a result, this Qing warship was fired at by a salvo of ten saber-tooth ships, and immediately fell to its stomach, and its mast was broken and could not continue to sail, and at most it could only spin on the river. When several Qing warships next to them saw this scene, they sensed that the situation was not good, and immediately turned their bows. Ran for his life in a hurry.

Time. Almost all the Qing warships around the First Squadron were stunned. They all subconsciously retreat. I don't want to engage the rushing First Fleet. As a result, their retreat immediately caused chaos on the battlefield, and some even collided with their companions. The Qing warships in the distance could also feel the powerful deterrent power brought by the First Fleet.

"What's going on?" Wang Zhiding shouted a little angrily. The large warships of the Mawei Navy actually have another fleet? That's right, the previous report said that the Mawei Army had a total of 150 warships, but there were so many Mawei warships just now, isn't it all of them? Did you read it wrong? Or did you ignore it when you saw that the Mawei Army's artillery fire was too strong? For a while, Wang Zhiding couldn't help but feel exhausted. Another fleet of the Mawei Navy entered the battle. Not to mention that the Qing army sailors want to win, I am afraid that it will be difficult to withdraw immediately.

However, can the Qing army retreat? The answer is no. The Qing army's naval division did not have any possibility of retreating at all. In front of them was the first squadron of the Mawei Army, and maybe there were others, and behind them were many of their own warships and the sixth detachment of the Mawei Army to intercept them, and if they wanted to withdraw from the battlefield, the price they paid was unbearable!

"Underestimate the enemy!" Wang Zhiding muttered to himself. He really didn't expect that the combat power of the Mawei Navy would be so strong, and the firearms could be sharp to this point, seeing that the Mawei Army was still in a neat formation and the artillery fire was still dense and orderly. His heart slowly sank to the bottom of the river!

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

The fierce cannon sound of the First Squadron of the Mawei Army Navy really stimulated Wang Zhiding a lot. Because in a very short period of time, they made two Qing warships lose their combat effectiveness. These were really large warships, and they were brought from the largest sand ship, with a length of more than fifty meters, which was not much inferior to the third-class warships of the Mawei Army. From the appearance of the first detachment of the Mawei Army to the present, it has been less than twenty minutes in total, and only three salvos have been fired, and five large warships of the Qing Army's naval division have been defeated. Such a loss, they Jiangning Sailor really can't afford it!

On the battlefield, the First Detachment of the Mawei Navy maintained a tight formation, constantly bombarding the Qing warships in front of the diagonal left with dense volleys. No matter what changes have taken place in the battle situation around them, the warships of the First Squadron have not left the formation and will not shoot separately. They were now not like the Fifth and Sixth Fleets on the left and right sides of the river in front of them, and they had already begun to scuffle with the Qing army, and they insisted on salvos from beginning to end.

Obviously, the attack of the First Squadron caused more Qing naval warships to panic. Because, they suddenly found that they were originally going to use such tactics to deal with the Mawei Navy on the left and right, but because things changed too quickly, they had no chance of success, and they were forced into a melee by the powerful artillery fire of the Mawei Army. Unexpectedly, this tactic was displayed by the First Detachment of the Mawei Navy at this moment.

The First Squadron was now using one of the tactics that was required for the naval officers' training course, and was originally derived from the Portuguese tactics of intermediate crossing. When the Qing Army's naval division and the Fifth and Sixth Detachments of the Mawei Navy were fighting in a staggered melee, their first detachment suddenly intervened and attacked the Qing naval division's warships on both sides with ferocious artillery fire, and indeed achieved good results.

And the Qing army's naval division obviously did not have enough preparation until this moment, and in the face of the fierce first fleet, it could only be passively beaten. Even if the ships of the Mawei Army were fifth-class warships, each battleship had more than thirty cannons, and none of them were under twelve pounds. The first detachment of forty warships had more than a thousand cannons, reaching fifteen hundred. More than 1,500 cannons began to fire a salvo from the left and right sides of the battleship, and ordinary battleships could not withstand even a single salvo. In addition to the large warships in the Qing army's warships, such as the large sand boats and the large sand boats, the ordinary sand ships and the sand ships were completely scum under such ferocious artillery fire, and the shells bombarded it, and the ships were destroyed and killed!

"Queue"

"Queue"

"Queue"

"Ordered the three warships at the front to rush up and ram the enemy ship, and the enemy ship was killed together, and after the collision, they all jumped into the water and swam ashore!"

Wang Zhiding was also anxious, and shouted even more anxiously at this moment. He knew that this was a critical moment, and to deal with the first fleet of the Mawei Army, he had to mobilize all the warships around him. Because, the Mawei Army and Navy have completely occupied the advantage in morale, and it can be said that the more they fight, the more courageous they are, the more ruthless they become, and that kind of momentum has already been played, and the Qing Army's naval division will not be able to overwhelm the other party in terms of momentum at all. At this time, only by letting a few warships ram the first squadron of the Mawei Army with their hulls and disrupt their formation, can the madness of the first detachment of the Mawei Army be stopped.

However, after the Qing army flag ordered the soldiers to convey the relevant flag language, the movement of the Qing army's warships was severely hindered. Half a day passed, and they didn't get far, let alone ram the enemy ship.

It turned out that Ning Wu's side not only wanted to sink the enemy ship, but also fired chain bullets to break the mast and sails of the Qing warship, so that the Qing army could only become the target of the Mawei army.

"Hehe, the flag issued by the Qing army seems to be asking these warships in front of us to hit us!" Ning Wu's Fu Ding Hao was already in the forefront, and he immediately observed this movement of the Qing army from the clear telescope.

"It's not that easy to hit Lao Tzu!" Ning Wu sneered and muttered to himself.

"Order, all ships concentrate firepower, a few Qing warships on the other side of the river will be killed for me, and the chain bombs will be prepared!"

"Ready!"

"Goal! Large gunboats of the Qing army! ”

After receiving Ning Wu's order, the captains of the ships also quickly issued orders to counterattack. This order was directly spread to the forty Mawei warships, and each ship focused on the chain bombs, and the first one was to fight the Qing army incapacitated!

"Offense"

"Offense"

"Offense"

At this time, Ning Wu also commanded his Fuding to immediately turn around and plunge into the attack. Driven by the saber ships of the First Fleet, the other Fifth and Sixth Fleets were also more energetic and launched a fierce attack on the Qing warships. In an instant, all the warships of the Qing army suddenly fell into a sea of fire, and even Wang Zhiding's ship fell a lot of marbles.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a loud noise was heard, and the main mast of a large gunboat of the main gunboat of the Qing army was knocked off. The main mast of this large ship is not much different from the length of the hull, which is more than 20 meters high. Its fall immediately caused a stir throughout the warship. The upper deck of the ship was almost smashed by the mast on the spot, and the huge vibration made the originally relatively calm river surface swell wildly.

was smashed by the mainmast like this, and the combat effectiveness of this large ship was almost lost. Thankfully, it also has two auxiliary masts, so it doesn't get stuck on the battlefield yet. However, it is absolutely impossible to continue to use the power of a mad bull like just now to continue to rampage. Under the siege of the Mawei Navy and the Navy, it is good that it can save its own life.

"It's over, there's no hope!" Wang Zhiding looked at the fewer and fewer warships on the river, and muttered to himself in a bit of a distraction, the original spirit was no longer at this moment.

"I can only break through!" Wang Zhiding said helplessly. The battle situation is greatly unfavorable, and the entire army can only be annihilated for a long time, and the best choice at this moment is to quickly break out of the encirclement.

"The Mawei army on the opposite side is quickly rushing into our array, and there is just a gap between them and the Mawei fleet on the right, the whole army obeys the order, quickly adjusts the direction, breaks through from this gap, and must not fight!" (To be continued......)
