He put down his binoculars and smiled at the first mate beside him: "I really didn't expect that the quality of the warships of the Cossack Empire was quite good, and after sailing tens of thousands of nautical miles, there were so many microorganisms and shells attached to the bottom of the ship and they could run so fast. ”

The first mate said disdainfully: "But with their speed, even our battleships can't catch up." ”

Sun Xiaohu said: "Let's tease them first, and then clean them up when they are far away from the main fleet." ”

"Okay." Hearing that the battle was going to start, the first mate was excited and immediately went to arrange it, so that all the artillery was put into combat readiness. ”

The two fleets pursued one after the other, and although the Cossack commander Deggalev was also aware of the farther and farther away from the group, he relied on his own warships twice as many as the other side, and did not worry at all.

The chase lasted for an hour, and the Cossack Imperial warship finally slowed down, the long period of full work had overheated the machine, and if the speed was not reduced, the main drive shaft was in danger of breaking.

Seeing that the other party had slowed down, Sun Xiaohu immediately ordered to slow down, and it was slower than the other party. The Cossack commander Deggalev, who had a look of chagrin on his face, thought that the other party was also overheating, and immediately excitedly ordered the fleet to continue the pursuit. The distance between the two fleets slowly narrowed, and they were already three nautical miles apart, and seeing that the other side had entered the maximum range of his own side, Deggalev could not help the excitement in his heart, and he hurriedly ordered the front main gun to fire immediately.

Although this class of cruisers is the latest model of the Cossack Empire, the Cossack Empire's shipbuilding level is not high, not only is there a slight gap in quality, but its design concept is also far from the "Tongjiang" class cruiser designed by Fang Xiaoyu.

Although the cruisers of this class also have a displacement of 3,000 tons, they only have one 203 mm front main gun, and the four cruisers can only fire four shells at a time, not to mention that their observation and sighting system is inferior, basically relying on the gunner's intuition to fire the cannon, such a hit rate is quite low.

These four shells were not very accurate, and they all fell into the sea far away from the port side of the cruiser "Hailin", and seeing that the other side began to fire cannons, Sun Xiaohu immediately ordered the fleet to speed up the turn, and Sun Xiaohu's fleet suddenly accelerated and began to turn to the Cossack navy.

Seeing that the opposing warship suddenly accelerated and began to turn, Deggalev immediately realized that he had been deceived. He wasn't worried about what powerful weapons these two warships had, what he was worried about was whether these two cruisers had been camouflaged for so long and had specially introduced themselves into the ambush circle, thinking of this, his heart was cold, so he was worried before the battle, and hurriedly ordered the warships to slow down and reverse.

The so-called cowardice before the battle, the way to defeat is also. Deggalev's timidity and lack of experience in naval warfare made him make an unforgivable low-level mistake, he was completely unaware of the danger of slowing down and reversing in naval battles, it takes time for a warship to slow down, at this time the warship is almost stationary, it is easy to become a target for the opponent, and even if it starts to slow down and reverse, the warship will still slide forward by inertia for a certain distance.

The two "Tongjiang" class cruisers were small in hull and made quick turns, and in less than half a minute, they aimed their port side at Degegarev's fleet in a light turn. Sun Xiaohu, who was excited, said: "This group of idiots, let me teach you the first article of the Chinese Collar Navy's Code of Operations, and you will do the same when others enter your range." ”

Sun Xiaohu grabbed the phone on the table and said, "Order the front and rear main guns, open fire." "The eight 203-mm guns of the two cruisers made a turn and immediately began to roar. The first round of main gun fire was far away from the opposing fleet, but two shells hit close misses, which was the masterpiece of the front main gun of the "Hailin" commanded by Song Wu.

Soon with the help of steam-powered hoists, the shells were again loaded into the main gun. The inexperienced Deggalev made a fatal mistake, since the warship changed from forward to reverse, there would be a period of stagnation in between. Although this prevents the warship from exposing its side to the opposing side when turning, the warship will remain stationary during the stasis phase, which will make the opponent's attack as easy as shooting a target.

Deggalev never expected that the main guns of the warships of the Chinese Consulate Navy would be reloaded so quickly, and when the second round of firing began, the first result finally appeared, and it was Song Wu's cannon again, and a heavy shell of 203 mm went straight from ' The deck between the No. 1 chimney and the No. 2 chimney of the Boyarin penetrated and exploded on the upper deck of the boiler room, although it did not enter the boiler room, but the design of the Cossack warship was unreasonable, the next door between the boiler room and the upper deck was actually wooden, and the shrapnel that flew out easily penetrated the boiler room and penetrated the two boilers, and the rest of the scorching shrapnel and the carbon fire flying out of the boiler also set fire to the nearby wooden walls.

The power compartment damage control crew of the 'Boyarin' immediately shut down the two leaking boilers and sent sailors to put out the fire. Seeing the shells explode inside the opposing warship, and then smoke came out, there was cheers on the 'Hailin'. Song Wu threw off his shirt and said, "It's not over yet, hurry up and put on the cannonballs." ”

The loader on the side hurriedly operated the winch to quickly load the next shell into the chamber, and the deputy loader on the side also quickly packed the medicine into it. Song Wu adjusted the muzzle of the cannon slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's try it again." "Two cannons fired again, and the shells hit the 'boyarin' again.

This time the shell penetrated directly through the side side of the bow and exploded in the ammunition magazine of the front main gun, and the shells and powder packs of the Cossack warship were placed separately, but unfortunately this time the shells accurately hit the storage of the powder packs, and the violent explosion ignited the powder bags, and then a larger explosion came, and the entire bow of the 'boyarin' flew into the sky.

The huge gap in the bow of the warship began to enter the water, the stern of the ship slowly cocked, and the two huge propellers were lifted out of the water and slowly rotated, making useless circular movements, and the whole warship stood up helplessly, and then slowly sank into the water.

"It's amazing." Sun Xiaohu raised the phone and said, "Daddy Song, this time I made a big contribution to you, you sank a ship." Song Wu's rough voice came from the earpiece: "Captain, you don't need to give me credit, just get me a few more bottles of your treasure." Sun Xiaohu said: "Okay, if you sink a warship, I'll give you a bottle." ”

"Captain, this is what you said, the whole ship can testify, you can't rely on it." Song Wu laughed excitedly, except for the cannon his favorite is to drink, especially the kind of good wine that Sun Xiaohu treasured.
