You shout to kill, I shout to fight, see who chases closely, see who runs fast, of course the scene is very hot.

However, if we only talk about the speed of running, Li Hongzhang and the giant gunboat he led can be regarded as the most loss, the size of the giant gunboat is larger, and the tonnage is also more than that of ordinary destroyers, which means that its sailing speed is slightly slower than that of other ships.

And a little slower is problematic.

It was easier for British ships to get closer to the giant gunboats.

In the beginning, perhaps only a small number of shells could hit the range of the giant gunboat, thus bringing damage to the giant gunboat, but as the distance between the two sides narrowed, more and more shells fell around the giant gunboat, thus posing a great threat to the giant gunboat.

And the direct consequence of this is that the damage suffered by the giant gunboat is getting worse and worse.

And if this continues, Li Hongzhang and the huge gunboat he led will be in danger.

Of course, while the British ships pursued the giant gunboat and damaged the giant gunboat, they also suffered a lot of damage, and these injuries were caused by the attack of the main force of the Invincible Armada led by Luo Bingzhang behind them.

One ring after another, all in the game.

In fact, among the three parties, the real most urgent is Luo Bingzhang.

As the so-called bystander Qing, in the end, he saw the situation most clearly, and he could see how dangerous the current situation was for Li Hongzhang, so he was anxious, more anxious than anyone else.

However, there were some things that could not be rushed, and all he could do was to keep urging the Invincible Armada forward, forward, and forward, and he must successfully attract the firepower of the British ships back to the main fleet before the British ships killed Li Hongzhang and others.

However, after some competition, Luo Bingzhang finally found out. What they did was in vain, Britain was a weighed and iron-hearted, and they must be entangled with Li Hongzhang to the end.

This Englishman was really angry, and would rather risk his own injuries than kill Li Hongzhang and others.

Of course. This may only be one aspect.

At the same time, the British may have had other considerations, such as that they may have felt that Li Hongzhang and his giant gunboat posed too much of a threat to the British ships.

Therefore, they must destroy the giant gunboat at any cost.

And no matter what the reason is, now that the British are staring at Li Hongzhang, then he and the giant gunboat he led will be really dangerous.

However, the game is basically in its final stages. No matter what kind of action is taken, it is basically impossible to change the overall situation, and the only way to minimize losses or obtain the greatest benefits can only be found. He had to think about whether he needed to pray to the heavens to give him a glimmer of hope and opportunity. Spare him this time.

And the British are getting closer and closer, and their firepower is getting stronger and stronger, and Li Hongzhang and his giant gunboats have no way to retreat.

The shape shì has reached the most dangerous moment.

Li Hongzhang observed the shape around him, and he knew in his heart that unless a miracle happened, otherwise. He and his huge gunboat could no longer run, and today, here they would all be lost at the hands of the British.

Since this is the case, Li Hongzhang decided not to run. Even if he died, he would not make the British feel better.

Li Hongzhang has already made the decision to sacrifice himself.

So, Li Hongzhang ordered the giant gunboat to stop, re-formed into a battle formation, and then opened fire on the British.

They want to make the British understand that if they want them to die, then the British will have to pay a heavy price.

This is a must.

And Li Hongzhang also made this consideration for other reasons, he believed that since the hope of escape was very slim, then he could only inflict greater losses on the British ships as much as possible, so as to lay the foundation for the final victory of this battle, so in order to achieve the final goal, he could only sacrifice his own life, and he had to do so.

What's more, since things have reached the point of no return, he feels that it is worth it and meaningful to exchange their lives for this final victory.

After making a decision, Li Hongzhang completely calmed down, but at this time, he was not alone, there was a group of soldiers following him, and he had to ask the soldiers for their intentions.

However, he did not even have time to say anything to the soldiers, and the soldiers had already used their actions to show Li Hongzhang that they were willing to follow Li Hongzhang and die generously.

This made Li Hongzhang very moved and proud, he felt that the soldiers of the Taiping Army were all good!

Then, Li Hongzhang and others stopped retreating, and the muzzle of the gun was once again aimed at the pursuing British.

And the gunboats began their roar again.

Because this is the last battle, the last battle, the giant gunboat will no longer retreat, and since it does not retreat, its counterattack must be extraordinarily powerful, compared to the past, it is incomparable.

And this inflicted great losses on the British ships.

The British ships were also taken aback by the sudden change of the giant gunboat, and they immediately anchored and launched an attack on the giant gunboat.

This kind of sea battle cannot be taken advantage of, a cannon is a cannon, a wave of attacks is a wave of attacks, whoever does not hit, then whose luck is good, who is hit, that can only endure.

Therefore, the losses brought by this kind of hard-fought battle to both sides are not small, and in the short term, the British suffered greater losses, after all, the power of the giant gunboats is there, but in the long run, the British ships will definitely win, because the strength of the British ships is also there.

And just when the main force of the British ships was bombarding the giant gunboats, the main force of the invincible fleet led by Luo Bingzhang also arrived, and as soon as they arrived, they also fired at the British ships from behind.

At first glance, it seems that the main force of the invincible fleet led by Luo Bingzhang and the giant gunboat led by Li Hongzhang surrounded the British ships, but in fact it was not.

At this time, the British ships were divided into two, they mainly used a small part of the firepower to contain the main force of the Invincible Armada led by Luo Bingzhang, and used most of the strength to deal with Li Hongzhang and his giant gunboats, the British planned to destroy the giant gunboats first, and then come to the main battle with the main force of the Invincible Armada, these people are not blindly brute, they also have their own strategies.

Luo Bingzhang and Li Hongzhang obviously understood the intentions of the British, but they were unable to break this situation in a short period of time, so they could only do their best to deal with the British ships.

The battle was fierce, but just as Li Hongzhang and the others were cheering for the large number of British ships killed, they suddenly found that the shells carried by the giant gunboat had run out.

They no longer have shells to bombard.

What to do? Li Honghong and the officers and men on the giant gunboat were silent.

Perhaps, perhaps, there is only one last option left.

Li Hongzhang turned around and looked at the soldiers who followed him, he wanted to ask everyone what they meant, but when he saw the extremely resolute faces, he already knew the result, the soldiers had the same thoughts as him, they had no regrets, no regrets about being a member of the Taiping Army, no regrets about being a member of the Chinese Empire.

They fought.

And they have to fight a vigorous battle, so that the British can also see their spirit, and let the British understand that there is no bad seed in the Chinese Empire.

At this time, the British also knew that the giant gunboat was no longer out of shells, so they began to turn most of the guns and turn to shoot at the main force of the Invincible Armada led by Luo Bingzhang, leaving only a small part of the firepower to clean up Li Hongzhang and them.

On the other side, Luo Bingzhang and the others on the other side saw this, their eyes were red, and the soldiers all roared angrily, handling the guns on the ship, desperately bombarding the British ship, hoping to save the situation.

However, as soon as it was too late, Li Hongzhang and the huge gunboat he led suddenly moved, their speed was very fast, the direction was the same, and the purpose was very clear.

They rushed directly to the British ships!

A qiē is already clear.

Li Hongzhang planned to die with the British ships in front. (To be continued......)
