Facing the rapidly approaching Haimen, Chaoyong did not choose to retreat but turned to accelerate, and rushed forward in the face of the Haimen's fierce artillery fire. In the rain of bullets, the super brave ship, which had already been hit by bullets and caught fire, was not afraid and rushed straight to Haimen. From time to time, the broken dragon banner fluttering on the mast emerged from the smoke. After learning of Huang Jianxun's plan, the officials of the Chaoyong did not react excessively. The stokers in the boiler room worked harder to add coal to the boiler. And the Super Brave gradually began to accelerate. The two warships were almost facing each other, like two knights in the Middle Ages, stabbing their opponents with spears in their hands.

"The Super Brave is going to launch a corner attack!" When the two sides approached 1 kilometer, Shiba Sanzhong finally understood that the Chaoyong was ramming the cruiser. The bow angle of attack was its last and most powerful weapon. Subconsciously, Shiba Sanzhong ordered the battleship to the right to evade. But at this time, the distance between the two sides is only one kilometer. And the Haimen has already suffered considerable losses. Hit sea water poured in through the breach in the side of the ship. And after all, this is a 10-year-old ship. Although the helmsman tried his best to avoid the blow. But just when the Haimen had just turned 30 degrees. The sharp angle of attack of the Super Brave had slammed into the side chord of the Haimen. The angle of attack of the Chaoyong opened a large triangular hole directly in the underwater part of the Haimen at a speed of 11 knots! This was accompanied by the sound of metal cracking that made the gums sore. The cracks in the Haimen breach gradually spread up and down the hull. And under the action of huge inertia, the bow of the Chaoyong also collided with the Haimen. Smash with the side chord of the Haimen! A large amount of seawater poured into Chaoyong and Haimen at the same time.

In just a few minutes, the hull of the Haimen had already broken. And the damaged bow of the Chaoyong also poured a large amount of seawater. And then the first tilt of Yan zhòng occurred! The two battleships were like two knights stabbing each other with their spears at the same time. While killing your opponent, you are also killed by the opponent. Huang Jianxun looked at the hull of the Haimen that was gradually broken into two, and smiled with satisfaction. "Let's go. The Super Brave has me with you. After speaking, Huang Jianxun straightened his dirty clothes that had been stained by gunsmoke and blood. At least go more formally. Huang Jianxun said in his heart. "Junmen, offended." Just when Huang Jianxun was about to sink with the ship, someone suddenly said a word behind him, and then Huang Jianxun suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck, and he didn't know anything. Ten minutes later, the Chaoyong sank into the water along with the Haimen. The whirlpool caused by the sinking of the two warships carried the sailors of the surrounding sea to the bottom of the sea. And the torpedo boats on both sides also gave up the fight and began to rescue the people who fell into the water with all their might.

In fact, the battle between the Pingyuan and the Japanese gunboats has come to an end. Although the Pingyuan is known as an armored ship, the head and tail armor are only 5 inches, and the middle is 8 inches, and what is even more ugly is that the armor belt of Pingyuan is not even two meters! This height is really deceitful, and the waterline is less than 1 meter, so you can't let the opponent's shells hit this less than 1 meter, right? Therefore, the Pingyuan is the same as the purchase from Germany. But what is even more tragic is that Pingyuan's firepower is even weaker, only one 8-inch Armstrong tube in the bow of the ship (the original Krupp gun has been replaced to increase the rate of fire), and the side chord is 6 inches. There's really no way to say how much firepower this is. The three Japanese gunboats together were a full 12 4.7-inch rapid-fire guns. Although it is not possible to fire at one side at the same time, it is definitely not something that Pingyuan's firepower can withstand. Rain-like high-explosive shells exploded on Pingyuan's hull from time to time. Clusters of orange-red flames and green smoke rose from the hull, and Li He had done his best. But in the face of the absolute superiority of the Japanese gunboats, he had nothing to do. The 6-inch gun on one side had been knocked out, and from time to time flames poured out of the destroyed gun emplacement. And with more and more hits, the bow and tail of the ship were also knocked out a few holes, and a large amount of water inlet had already made Pingyuan's main belt almost completely sink into the water. The so-called armor belt is no longer useful. …,

Although Pingyuan also hit the Oshima. However, it is only a deceleration, and the effect of 3 hits is still relatively limited. Just let the Oshima be hit hard, and did not sink it, overall, the Pingyuan is a tragic survival, but it seems that God can't bear to let this battleship sink like this, just when another 6-inch gun of the Pingyuan was also knocked out, Pingyuan's main gun hit an 8-inch cannonball on the Atago! In fact, there is nothing surprising about the hit, but this cannon directly ignited the ammunition depot under the 4.7-inch gun. Almost at the same time as it hit, the 600-ton gunboat seemed to be pushed outward by a raised hand for a short distance, although the main ship was blown to pieces by the detonated ammunition. A huge column of water mixed with minced meat and fragments of a battleship rushed into the air more than ten meters high. As if frightened by the violent explosion, the other two gunboats quickly turned to distance themselves and moved to the flank of Pingyuan, attacking with 4.7-inch guns from a distance. Then 4 torpedo boats, under the cover of gunboats, rushed up and launched a torpedo attack. Pingyuan, which was originally not very fast, had a large amount of water after a long naval battle, and its speed was already low to only about 5 knots. Moreover, the side-chord artillery, whether it is heavy artillery or machine guns, has almost lost it, and Pingyuan has no resistance at this time. Li He looked at the Japanese torpedo boats approaching at a speed of 20 knots, and he knew that his limit had arrived. Even though the torpedo at that time had a short range and was prone to problems, it was still enough to hit Pingyuan, which basically had little resistance. At this time, Yang Wei, the only one who still had combat effectiveness, saw the situation of the Pingyuan and immediately turned the rudder to support, but in the face of the Tianlong that was entangled with him, Yang Wei finally failed to help. The Pingyuan did not wait long, and a torpedo hit the stern of the Pingyuan. The huge explosion blew the stern of the Pingyuan almost directly off the hull, and a large amount of seawater instantly caused the 2,000-ton battleship to tilt sternly, and the bow gradually cocked. It then sank to the bottom of the sea. And Li He also became the first pipe band to die in battle in the Beiyang Naval Division.

Then the two Japanese gunboats and the Tenryu converged, preparing to besiege the last of Yangwei. "It's over." Yang Wei pipe belt Lin Baozhong looked at the approaching three battleships and the two torpedo boats behind him and couldn't help but sigh. With the addition of two gunboats, the fire of the Yangwei has completely lost control, and even if it can ensure that the battleship is not sinkable for the time being, the ship has been completely abandoned. At this point, the surface of the water is close to the deck. Most of the artillery was destroyed. There is no way to reverse it. "My lord, the Japanese ship has suddenly withdrawn." The first mate next to him suddenly said excitedly. Lin Fuzhong rubbed his eyes and saw that it was true, the two gunboats immediately turned to evacuate, and the Tianlong, which had also been seriously damaged, also began to twist its hull full of bullet holes and fled to the open sea! "God, it's Admiral Ding, they're here!" The two huge ironclad ships in Dingzhen are approaching at high speed...... Although he came a little late, he still saved the lives of Lin Fu and others. Jiyuan and Guangjia went to pursue the retreating Tianlong, and Dingzhen, after rescuing the Beiyang sailors, sailed towards the battlefield that was passing through and coming from afar.

To say that the two ships of Jingyuan and Laiyuan are really sad, seeing that Pingyuan and they came to Zhiyuan themselves, they were intercepted by the Japanese Tianlong Haimen and a vote of gunboats, this is not counting, 10 torpedo boats also rushed up, these two ships are already very difficult to hit Izumi and Gao Chiho, how can they still hold these 10 torpedo boats?

When Qiu Baoren saw the torpedo boats in the distance like wolves, he immediately ordered the Jingyuan to change the bow of the ship to a column against the enemy, although the Jingyuan and the Laiyuan were the products of the bow against the enemy. But in fact, the firepower of the side chord was not much weaker than that of the front, and it was only one less 6-inch gun. And the 12-pounder, 6-pounder, 3-pounder guns, which were arranged on the side chords at the same time, could play a role, and the two ships could cover each other. In this way, the survival rate under torpedo attacks is greater. At the same time, the command to begin the fleet began to turn to the evacuation of the battlefield. (After Lin Yongsheng left, he was acted by the first mate Chen Rong.) So it was Qiu Baoren who commanded Jingyuan and Laiyuan to fight)...,

This tactic is not bad, but unfortunately, under the siege of as many as 10 torpedo boats and 2 dome cruisers, it is not easy to go through and come to the distance. The Izumi and Takachiho distanced themselves to cover the attack of the torpedo boats in the distance, and the 10 torpedo boats, led by the Kitty Hawk, pounced like wolves on the already seriously injured Jingyuan and Laiyuan. The remaining side-chord artillery of Jingyuan and Yuanyuan kept spewing this deadly rain of bullets into the sea, and the shells shot out columns of water on the sea. But the other side came up too much at once, and 10 torpedo boats launched an attack on the Jingyuan at the opposite tail in groups of 5, and under the scorching fire of the two cruisers, one of them finally rushed to about 500 meters. Just as he was about to get closer to launch the torpedo, a 6-inch shell hit the launch tube of the torpedo boat directly! , the personnel on the poor torpedo boat did not even have a chance to escape, and the torpedo was blown into the sky by the detonated torpedo. However, the results of the 6-inch gun were limited to this. The other four had already rushed over, but they were greeted by a denser barrage of machine gun shells, and a 47mm shell slammed into the bridge of one of the torpedo boats like a whip, and the shells penetrated the mast wall without hindrance, sweeping all the people in the bridge down. The torpedo boat instantly lost control and tilted to the side. The next three ships finally approached 250 meters and fired torpedoes. Six torpedoes rolled over the waves and shot at Jing Yuan. However, two of them sank to the bottom of the sea after not going far, the other missed and one grazed the bottom of the ship. And the last two shots were dodged by Jing Yuan. The first wave of attacks by Japanese torpedo boats was unsuccessful.
