Dense shells exploded around the battleship "Majesty", and although it was the first salvo of the "Majesty", the Chinese Navy's shelling was still amazingly accurate under the guidance of the fire control system. Although no shells hit the battleship 'Majesty' during this round of shelling, the nearest point of impact was less than 100 meters away from the battleship 'Majesty'. Columns of water splashed on the surface of the sea, wetting the deck of the battleship Majesty.

"Hell! Fight back, fight back now! What's going on with those Russians? Why hasn't the battle line been formed yet? "Inside the flagship of the battleship 'Majesty', the commander of the fleet, Algernon? McLennan? Ser Lyons roared madly. The combat power of the Chinese Navy is far beyond his imagination. This was not at all what he had expected. Judging from the current situation, the Combined Fleet has no possibility of taking advantage of the attack of the Chinese Navy at all. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before they are defeated.

Fleet Chief of Staff Frederick? William? Sir Richards immediately sent a telegram to the deputy commander of the fleet, Grand Duke Alexandrovich of the Russian Navy, asking the second battle line of the Russian Navy, consisting of seven battleships, to join the battle from the east and flank the battleships of the Chinese Navy's home fleet, so as to alleviate the crisis of the first battle line of the combined fleet.

The battleship "Majestic" was the most powerful battleship in the British Navy in service, and the lead ship of the "Majestic-class" battleships. The battleship 'Majesty' had a standard displacement of 14,900 tons and a full load displacement of 16,000 tons. The maximum speed is 17.5 knots, and the main gun is two twin 305 mm naval guns. Among the dozens of battleships in active service in the British Navy. The 'Majestic' battleships were the most powerful of the cunning. Other than that. Battleships under construction in the British Navy. There is also a first-class 'old man' battleship, but it will not be able to enter service until next year. After that, it was the 'Dreadnought-class' battleships that were only now being built.

"Order all ships to continue their attack on the British flagship 'Majesty' and sink their flagship first!" On the battleship 'Qin Shi Huang', Deng Shichang, commander of the Chinese Navy's home fleet, ordered. The firepower of the four 'Qin-class' battleships and the four 'Zhonghua-class' battleships was twice as powerful as the first battle line of the Combined Fleet. With such dense firepower, launch an attack on the flagship of the Combined Fleet, the 'Majesty'. No matter how lucky the 'Majestic' is, there is no escape.

"Boom! Rumble! "Volleys again and again, dense shells pierced the air, with a shrill whistling, and smashed fiercely at the battleship 'Majesty'. The British sailors aboard the battleship Majestic, except to fight back, could only pray for God's blessing.

"Your Excellency, the 'Majesty' has become the main target of the Chinese, and according to the current situation, the 'Majesty' simply cannot last long. Please transfer immediately! "Chief of Staff of the Fleet, Frederick? William? Sir Richards built yì road.

"What? Let me leave the flagship now? Less than two hours after the start of the battle, am I going to abandon the flagship? No way. Absolutely not! This is an unforgivable shame for the proud British Navy! "Algernon, commander of the Combined Fleet? McLennan? Sir Lyons roared angrily. In his decades of naval career, he had never been so wolf-like, and he could never do so.

"Your Excellency, Commander, it's too late. It will take some time for the Russians to reach the battlefield, and the 'Majesty' is obviously no longer able to hold out until the Russians arrive at the battlefield! "Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, Frederick? William? Sir Richards said sternly.

Combined Fleet Commander Algernon? McLennan? Sir Lyons hesitated, he was well aware of the situation of the battleship 'Majesty', although the 'Majesty' battleship had a displacement of more than five thousand tons and much thicker armor than the battleship 'Collingwood'. But in the face of such a powerful firepower of the Chinese Navy, it will definitely not last long. The scene of the battleship 'Collingwood' being blown to pieces was still in front of his eyes. If the battleship 'Majestic' had been hit like that, it would certainly not have been able to hold out.

"Boom!" Is Algernon, commander of the Combined Fleet? McLennan? When Sir Lyons hesitated, the battleship 'Majesty' shook violently, Algernon? McLennan? Sir Lyons was in the process of thinking about it, and he did not pay attention, and fell to the ground in the next week, although he was not injured, but his white admiral's dress was already covered with dirt.

"Report the loss!" Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, Frederick? William? Sir Richards shouted loudly. Obviously, the shaking just now was obviously caused by the hit of the battleship 'Majesty'.

"Report to Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the starboard side of the battleship 'Majesty' was hit, two secondary guns were lost, and there is no mortal danger!" In less than a minute, the captain of the battleship 'Majesty' had ascertained the specific situation.

In the salvo just now, the Chinese Navy hit the battleship "Majesty", but the shells only destroyed two secondary guns and blew a huge hole on the starboard side of the battleship "Majesty", but did not cause fatal damage to the battleship "Majesty." If the place where this shell hits a few meters further down, it explodes directly near the waterline. The battleship 'Majestic' had it.

"Your Excellency, Commander, move now!" The battleship 'Majesty' is no longer safe, we need to move to the battleship behind and continue to command the battle! "Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, Frederick? William? Sir Richards once again made a statement.

This time, the commander of the Combined Fleet, Algernon? McLennan? Sir Lyons did not refuse any more. If the 'Majesty' had been sunk and he had not moved in time, the command of the British Navy would have been out of order. And the British Navy is the main force of the Combined Fleet, and the British Navy is in chaos, so this Combined Fleet expedition will also end in failure.

Soon, the commander of the Combined Fleet, Algernon? McLennan? Sir Lyons and Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, Frederick? William? Sir Richards, with a few staff officers, got on the transport boat, and on the sea full of gunfire, left the battleship 'Majesty' and moved to the battleship 'Hannibal' behind, and continued to direct the battle.

At 8:30 a.m. on June 22, the commanding flag was raised on the battleship "Hannibal", the battleship "Majestic" also lowered the commanding flag, and the flagship of the combined fleet was changed from the battleship "Majestic" to the battleship "Hannibal". The battleship "Majesty" was at the forefront of the battle line and was vulnerable to the full attack of the Chinese Navy, while the battleship "Hannibal" was in the middle of the battle line, more prepared to command the battle.

"Commander, the British have replaced the battleship 'Hannibal' with a flagship, should we continue to attack the battleship 'Hannibal'?" Vice Admiral Li Haitao, chief of staff of the Chinese Navy's home fleet, asked.

"No, continue to attack the battleship 'Majesty.' The battleship 'Majesty' can't hold out for long, let's sink the 'Majesty' battleship first! Admiral Deng Shichang, commander of the Chinese Navy's home fleet, said.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The eight battleships of the Chinese Navy continue to attack the battleship 'Majesty', and the situation of the battleship 'Majesty' has become more dangerous, and it may be sunk at any time.

"Boom!" In this salvo, the battleship 'Qin Shi Huang' lived up to expectations and finally fired a crucial salvo. In this salvo, two of the eight shells fired by the battleship Qin Shi Huang hit the battleship "Majesty", and two shells also hit the battleship "Majesty" in the salvo of seven other battleships. Four shells were taken at once, even if the battleship 'Majesty' was a little rough and thick-skinned, but it couldn't be resisted!

Four shells, one of which hit the starboard side of the battleship 'Majesty', blew a large hole in the superstructure of the battleship 'Majesty' and killed dozens of British sailors. The second shell hit the stern of the battleship 'Majesty', destroying the main gun in the stern and blowing the barrel into twists. The third shell hit the chimney of the battleship "Majesty", which had only one chimney, and after the chimney was knocked out, the speed of the battleship "Majesty" was suddenly reduced. The fourth shell hit the bridge of the battleship 'Majesty', slaughtering all the officers inside, including the captain. Fortunately, the commander and chief of staff of the Combined Fleet ran fast, otherwise they would have only died.

Although it had received five shells, the battleship 'Majestic' had been blown up with thousands of holes. However, the battleship 'Majestic' was still unsunk, still sailing, and continued to fire with the remaining front main guns, which was very tenacious.

"Humph! After so many shells have not been sunk, I want to see how long I can hold out! Keep the shelling! Admiral Deng Shichang, commander of the Chinese Navy's home fleet, said coldly.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Another salvo of the 'Majestic'. This salvo completely killed the battleship 'Majesty'. A shell, which penetrated through the middle of the ship, pierced several compartments and did not explode until the bottom of the battleship. Moreover, the keel of the battleship 'Majesty' was directly blown off. After the keel was blown off, the battleship 'Majesty' was directly broken in two.

At 8:40 a.m., the battleship 'Majesty' sank! (To be continued.) )
