Become a feudal king from today

"General, why don't you send out the ironclads now?"

The Xitu fleet came from three directions, and seeing that the Dasong fleet was about to be surrounded in the middle, Song Xiang couldn't help but ask.

Although Xitu's warships were much inferior to them, they would not feel comfortable if they all pounced on them at once.

This is contrary to their purpose of annihilating the Western and Turkish fleet at the minimum cost.

"No rush, let the other battleships play with them first." Zhou Yi smiled softly, "Why, you don't have enough confidence in my judgment?"

"No!" Song Xiang blushed immediately, "The general is just worried that if he acts too late, he will suffer insignificant losses."

Zhou Yi's smile became even thicker. Compared to Gong Ying, Song Xiang was very serious.

He was just joking casually. .

Then he patted Song Xiang on the shoulder, "If the armored ship is exposed too early, the enemy will be scared away by us. When we enter the enemy's range and they turn around, our armored ship will attack again."

The sail warship changes from the forward state to the shooting state. It needs to turn around and aim the side at the enemy.

This action transition takes time.

For Zhou Yi, this is the best time for them to attack.

Because it will take a lot of time from the time when the coalition navy realizes something is wrong and then changes from the shooting state to the escape state.

By then it was too late for the coalition navy.

In response, Song Xiang continued to observe the situation of the Xitu Fleet.

According to Zhou Yi's plan, after the Western-Turkish fleet entered the range of the Dasong battleship, the outer sail battleships began bombarding.

Cone-shaped cannonballs flew out like thunder and rushed towards the Xitu warships that rushed towards them.

"Boom boom boom..."

The rifled cannon on the Grand Sail Battleship is more accurate than the smoothbore cannon.

The shells fell into the huge Western-Turkish warship group, and immediately a Western-Turkish warship was hit.

Amidst the explosion of artillery shells, huge gaps were blown out of more than a dozen Western-Turkish warships. Sea water poured into the warships, submerging the Western-Turkish soldiers in the cabins, and then the warships slowly sank.

"Don't look back, move forward with all your strength, and let the opponent enter the range of our naval guns!" The screams of the navy soldiers came to his ears, and Malfoy's face was gloomy.

He had anticipated this outcome before the war.

He alerted numerous naval officers.

Their tactic this time was to injure the enemy 800 and damage themselves a thousand.

Even if all their nearly five hundred battleships sink, as long as they win, everything will be meaningful.

Like Malfoy, the other Western and Turkish officers gradually calmed down after the initial palpitations.

They avoided the sinking warship and still headed towards the Great Song Fleet.

Now, they are still about eight kilometers away from the Dasong Fleet and have to travel four kilometers.

Their naval guns are capable of attacking the Great Song fleet.

But this short four kilometers is so long to the Western and Turkish officers.

During the voyage, one coalition warship sank one after another.

Some battleships were even hit by ammunition, and the entire ship exploded. Some battleships burned and turned into a fireball.

The coalition soldiers who fell to the bottom of the sea kept calling for help and begging other warships to pick them up, but no warships stopped and just passed by them, allowing them to be swallowed by the sea.

Because as long as the battleship stops, it will not only affect the speed of the entire fleet, but also become a living target.

In such a brutal process, the Western-Turkish fleet approached step by step, and finally reached a position four kilometers away from the Dasong fleet.

By this time, hundreds of warships had been lost in three directions.

But in any case, they achieved their strategic goals.

Under Malfoy's order, the main force of the Western-Turkish fleet in the east stopped and began to turn its bow and aim its side at the battleship Dasong.

"You bunch of despicable Eastern natives, now I'm going to kill you all."

On the flagship deck, Malfoy held on to the railing tightly and leaned forward, as if he wanted to fly over a distance of four kilometers and eat General Song on the opposite side.

Having endured so many casualties, he now wanted to repay his blood debt.

While the naval officers on other battleships were extremely angry, they also felt the pleasure of revenge in their hearts.

In their opinion, this Great Song Fleet is destined to die.

They also have more than 300 warships, while the opponent only has 60 warships.

More importantly, Dasong's fleet is all within their range.

With five times the opponent's firepower, there was no way they could lose.

Kolkata Port, Bolt also stood up from his chair.

"Hahaha, Malfoy, you will be remembered in history. When you return to Britain, everyone will chant your name." He stared at the sea and smiled wildly.

The silence of the sixty warships in the port certainly made him feel distressed, but they finally achieved their goal.

This time they were finally able to eliminate the Great Song Fleet in one fell swoop.

As long as they regain control of the ocean, they can use the mobility of the navy to attack all along the coast of Dasong.

By then, even if the guns and artillery of Dasong's army are more powerful than them, they will only be exhausted.

"General, the time has come!" When Malfoy and Bolt were extremely excited, Song Xiang said to Zhou Yi with a calm expression.

They had practiced this situation before the war and knew how to arrange their troops to deal with it.

"It's time for the armored ship to see blood!" Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

When the Western-Turkish fleet approached, he didn't do anything, but arranged the next attack method.

Under his command, the formation of the Great Song Fleet began to change.

The previous formation of sailing battleships and steamships covering the ironclads became an array with ironclads outside and sailing battleships and steamships included.

The purpose of this array is to use the ironclad as a shield to protect the vulnerable sail warships and steamships on the inside, and then use the firepower from the front of the ironclad to attack the opponent's warships.

At almost the same time, both the Dasong Fleet and the Western-Turkish Fleet completed their formation changes.

At this time, the Western-Turkish fleet couldn't wait to fire at the Dasong fleet.

Ball-shaped explosive bombs flew out from the muzzle of the smoothbore cannon and rushed towards the ironclad ship located on the periphery of the fleet.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Many shells immediately exploded near the armored ship.

However, most of them fell into the sea, and some of the shells hit the armor and fell into the seabed.

A few shells exploded on the outer armor of the battleship, unable to shake the heavy armor of the armored ship.

After all, the thickness of the armor on the sides of the ironclad is 350 mm, and even the armor on the deck is 100 mm.

"What's going on?" I saw many shells hitting Da Song's battleship.

But the Great Song Battleship remained unscathed, and Malfoy frowned slightly.

After thinking for a while, he continued, "Let the warships behind us continue to move forward and get closer."

He believed that it was because the Dasong fleet was at the extreme position of their shooting, so the shells could not penetrate the side of the Dasong battleship.
