The leading ships of the battle line have always been the key targets of the enemy's attacks, not to mention that Edward Vernon has already given a death order, and many warships of the Combined Fleet would rather risk the threat of being bombed by the Qing warships of the Qing army that followed behind the "Zhencheng" such as the "Weiyan" and "Weishan", but also desperately attack the "Zhencheng", so that the "Zhencheng" is obviously a little overwhelmed, no, the battle line hedging is only halfway through, and the "Zhencheng" has been hit by more than 50 bullets in a row, not to mention that the ship is on fire everywhere. At the waterline, the Combined Fleet blasted several huge openings, and even so, the "Zhencheng" was still staggering forward, while reluctantly counterattacking, and frantically bombarded the Combined Fleet with rounds of artillery fire.

"Report to the captain, there are many floods in the bilge of our ship, it is irretrievable, and the sinking is imminent, please make it clear to the captain!"

Not long after the "Zhencheng" rushed through the "Hood's" artillery interception, the battleship was finally unable to support it anymore, and the third mate, who was originally in charge of emergency repairs in the bilge, had to rush to the foredeck and report the bad news to Lin Shuangrong, the captain who was directing the operation.

"Damn, order: all of them are there, abandon the ship!"

Although extremely unwilling, as the captain of the ship, Lin Shuangrong was unwilling and could not let his officers and soldiers make senseless sacrifices, so he could only stomp his feet in hatred and gave the order to abandon the ship, but he himself did not get off the ship, but walked to the wheelhouse, strictly ordered the helmsman to abandon the ship, and then personally steered, and tried his best to turn the sinking battleship in a different direction, slowly sailed away from the battle line, and rushed towards the combined fleet like a torch.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

In front of the "Zhencheng" is the British battleship "Hundred-Eyed Giant", this time the "Zhencheng" rushed straight at a crooked angle, and he didn't dare to let it really mess up his own battle line, even if he knew that the "Zhencheng" was actually unable to escape the fate of sinking, but he still had to shoot with all his strength, and the "Zhencheng" that was already unable to support it finally could no longer maintain the posture of moving forward, and after a few swings on the sea, it sank to the bottom of the sea. Miraculously escaped from his life, only suffering some injuries that were not too serious.

"Order all ships to avenge the 'Zhencheng' and beat Lao Tzu hard!"

Seeing that the "Zhencheng" was sunk, Wang Changgeng's eyes turned red even if he was congested, his fists were clenched, and he squeezed out an order from between his teeth.

Originally, there was no need for Wang Changgeng to order, the Qing soldiers were all red-eyed, and constantly shot the revenge shells to the combined fleet one by one, under such powerful artillery fire, the first unlucky was the four indiscriminate cruisers in the combined fleet, the two sides hedged only more than half, "Rose", "Venus", "Moonlight", "Tranquility" were sunk by Qing warships, and several medium-sized warships were beaten by the Qing army. In addition, many medium-sized warships such as the "Weiyan" and "Weishan" were not lightly damaged, and the war has reached a white-hot level at this point.

"Report to the general, Commander Wang of the Bohai Fleet has sent an urgent telegram!"

Just when the war was in full swing, a communications officer hurriedly rushed out of the cabin, holding a telegram in his hand, and hurriedly grabbed Wang Changgeng's side, and said in a loud voice.

"Read!"

As soon as he heard that it was a call from the Bohai Fleet, Wang Changgeng's brows were furrowed, and he did not reach out to answer the telegram, but spit out a word with a trace of impatience.

"Yes, the Bohai Fleet sent a telegram saying: Our unit is speeding up with all its might, and it is expected to rush to the battlefield in about half an hour, hoping that your unit will hold back the remnants of the enemy in order to achieve the goal of completely annihilating the remnants of the enemy.

As soon as Wang Changgeng had spoken, the communications officer did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly and respectfully agreed to the promise and read out the telegram in a loud voice.

"Humph! Ordered all ships, just say that in half an hour, the Bohai Fleet will arrive, and if you don't want to lose your achievements, you will fight Lao Tzu with all your might! ”

Speaking of which, Wang Changgeng and Wang Yanxia were cousins, both veterans in the navy, but in the face of military exploits, brothers must also settle accounts, Wang Changgeng, who already has an absolute battlefield advantage, is unwilling to share the credit in hand, but seeing that he snorted heavily, he has already given a murderous order.

"Yes!"

Hearing Wang Changgeng's order, the communications officer did not dare to delay it slightly, hurriedly made a military salute, and hurriedly returned to the telegraph cabin to send a telegram without mentioning it.

The officers and men of the Qing Dynasty were already fighting hard, and then they were stimulated by Wang Changgeng's telegram, and they really used all their strength to eat milk, and the loading speed of the artillery suddenly increased by a large section, and the guns of each ship roared almost incessantly, and one after another powerful blasting bombs and flowering bombs bombarded the stormy Combined Fleet like a raging storm, so that the Combined Fleet, which was already at a disadvantage, was only a face-to-face hedge, and the entire Combined Fleet was half-crippledOn the other hand, the Qing East China Sea Fleet, however, only sank two battleships, and another four were seriously injured and withdrew from the battle line, and the victory or defeat between the two sides was self-evident.

"Order: The 1st, 2nd, 17th, and 18th fleets will advance and squeeze the maneuver space of the enemy fleet, and the rest of the ships will immediately turn around and give the enemy no time to breathe!"

Although the results of the previous battle were not small, Wang Changgeng did not relax a little because of this, as soon as the two fleets crossed, he had already hurriedly issued two orders, and then saw that the four detachments that were originally wandering and maneuvering on both sides of the battlefield began to advance to the middle, further compressing the battlefield space, and the warships on the battle line also began to turn around, preparing to have another battle line with the combined fleet.

"Report to the general, the Portuguese and Spanish fleets withdrew from the array line, and they surrendered!"

At the same time as the Qing army was making tactical maneuvers, Edward Vernon was also making tactical adjustments, but before he could finish issuing the order, there was a sudden commotion at the end of the array line, and Edward Vernon's brows were furrowed, and he was about to ask a question, when he heard the lookout post on the tall mast roar loudly.

"Damn it, you cowards!"

The last time he fought a bitter battle with the Qing Bohai Fleet, it was Portugal and Spain who were the first to retreat, which led to the complete collapse of the war, and now, it is the two fleets that are the first to raise the white flag, which really made Edward Vernon tremble with anger and curse in extreme anger.

"Report to the general, Admiral Brando, commander of the French fleet, sent a banner, saying that there is no chance of winning this battle, there is no hope of breaking through, and the only thing left is to surrender to save the lives of the soldiers."

Before Edward Vernon could recover from the blow of the Portuguese and Spaniards surrendering without permission, the commander of the French fleet sent another proposal to surrender.

"Report to the general, Lieutenant General Dickens sent a banner, saying that the war may be unfavorable, please ask the general to make it clear."

Before Edward Vernon could reply to the request of the commander of the French fleet, Vice Admiral Dickens, the captain of the "Hundred-Eyed Giant", also sent a message, although he did not explicitly surrender, but the meaning was exactly that.

"Drop!"

Edward Vernon was bent on defending the honor of the British Navy, but in the face of such a scene of rebellion and separation, he had no choice, and then saw that the battle line of the Qing army had turned around and killed, Edward Vernon had no choice but to close his eyes in pain and spit out a word unwillingly......

"Your Majesty, He Tao and Master He of the Overseas Intelligence Bureau are here."

At three o'clock, the sun was already setting in the west, but Hongqing was still sitting upright in the heart cultivation hall, holding the fold in his hand, looking at it without a glance, obviously his mind was not on this fold, he was wandering by himself, but he saw Li Dequan hurrying in from outside, grabbed the copywriter in a few big steps, bowed down, and hurriedly reported a sentence.

"Xuan!"

The reason why Hongqing was absent-minded was waiting for the news brought by He Tao, and when he heard that he had arrived, his spirit suddenly lifted, and with a wave of his hand, he couldn't wait to announce it.

"Wow!"

Hongqing Chrysostom was opened, Li Dequan didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly and respectfully agreed, hurriedly withdrew from the hall, and after a while, he had already accompanied He Tao, who was sweating profusely, to turn back from outside.

"Wechen knocks on Your Majesty!"

As soon as he saw Hongqing sitting at the top, He Tao, who was full of joy, didn't dare to lose his courtesy, and hurriedly rushed to the front of the palace, and hurriedly paid a big salute.

"Excuse me, what's going on on the front?"

Although he saw He Tao's face full of joy, Hongqing was still a little relieved, and he didn't wait for He Tao to finish the courtesy, so he was already asking questions.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, Wang Changgeng, commander of the East China Sea Fleet, sent back a good news, our army has won a great victory, and the fleets of the five Western Barbarians have been wiped out, and none of them have escaped.

As soon as he heard Hongqing's question so urgent, He Tao didn't dare to sell anything, and hurriedly described the general content.

"Hand it over!"

Hearing that the East China Sea Fleet had completely annihilated the combined fleet of the five Western countries, the big stone hanging in Hongqing's heart finally fell to the ground, and he didn't ask in detail, but waved his hand and gave the order in a high-pitched voice.

"Wow!"

Hongqing's will, Li Dequan didn't dare to delay it slightly, responded respectfully, trotted in front of He Tao, stretched out his hand to take the message, and forwarded it to Hongqing.

"Good! Passing on my will, I immediately sent a telegram to the East China Sea Fleet, saying that I am very relieved to use the lives of the ministers and others, and that all the officers and men who participated in the war have been promoted to one level, and those who have made special merits will be rewarded after the meritorious service, and in addition, the South China Sea Fleet will immediately set off and act according to the predetermined combat deployment, and there must be no mistake! ”

The destruction of the combined fleet announced that the main force of the Western countries in the South China Sea area no longer exists, and now the South Sea is like a ripe peach, which is already at your fingertips......
