Chapter 771 The Battle to Establish Prestige

"There is no other choice but to fight to the death." After a brief panic, Wolfe punched the table hard.

Compared with the naval battle he was about to face, he was more shocked that Yanzhou had the ability to build steamships.

Even in their Western countries, they first explored it twenty years ago. Only now have the technology matured and they began to mass-produce steamships.

Although he was not the one responsible for building the ship, he knew it very well.

Steamships represent the level of a country's steam industry.

Therefore, the appearance of twenty steamships is equivalent to telling him that King Yan has a steam industry similar to that of the Western Territories.

"We will definitely win. Your British fleet is the most elite fleet in the West. You have hundreds of years of sailing experience. Your soldiers are tempered by the flames of war." The Watanabe case was brought to Wolfe, and it seemed that it was also Comfort to myself.

After the Japanese sail warships were launched, he had to admire these warships almost every day before he could sleep peacefully.

He fantasizes about being able to annihilate the fleet immediately and dominate the Eastern Sea Territory.

But he didn't expect that King Yan's fleet would suddenly arrive.

and carried twenty-four steamers, twice as many as the Britons.

Most importantly, they now had no time to hide in the river.

They can only fight against King Yan's fleet.

"You are right. Our British fleet is the most elite fleet in the world. I will not embarrass Britain or damage the glory of the fleet." Wolf stood up and gritted his teeth, "How dare King Yan challenge the most powerful British fleet?" Challenge, we will let him taste the taste of failure. For hundreds of years, all enemies who challenge us have died with hatred."

After saying that, he stood up and headed for the port.

As soon as the Yanzhou Fleet was discovered again, soldiers from the British Fleet and the Japanese Fleet boarded the battleship.

At the same time, under the command of the commander, it aimed its flank at the Yanzhou Fleet, seemingly preparing to engage in battle.

When Watanabe and Wolfe arrived at the dock, the two sides were still confronting each other.

"Lieutenant, they have twelve steamships and eighteen sail warships heading to the mouth of the Edo River. It seems to prevent them from hiding in the inland river." Adjutant Wolfe came over.

After a pause, he continued: "The remaining Yanzhou fleet has no intention of attacking, and even retreated a certain distance."

"What does this mean?" Watanabe was confused when he heard this.

When Wolfe heard this, his face became more and more gloomy. He said: "They are provoking us. They want to fight us with the same number of warships and defeat us."

The Watanabe case suddenly came to mind, and the number of Yanzhou battleships left behind was consistent with theirs.

"How arrogant, but this is a chance to defeat." Watanabe was overjoyed.

Wolff is less optimistic than the Watanabe case.

He had fought against the Yanzhou fleet, and they were not reckless people.

Dare to fight them fairly, they must have someone to rely on.

But he couldn't guess what they relied on.

However, he seemed to have no choice but to fight.

So he said to his adjutant: "In that case, we will fight!"

After boarding the flagship, he led the fleet towards the Yanzhou Fleet, followed closely by the Japanese sail warships.

At this time, Watanabe case raised his heart to his throat.

He only hopes that the British can destroy this damn King Yan fleet, otherwise Japan will be finished.

at the same time.

On the battleship Leting, Zhou Yi was observing the British fleet.

Seeing the British fleet coming towards them, a smile appeared on his lips.

Originally, he could launch a sneak attack and catch them off guard.

However, this is a battle for Yanzhou Navy to establish its power.

After this battle, the Yanzhou Navy will have the final say on the oceans in the East.

Therefore, in this battle, he must defeat the British with dignity.

Let them spread the news back to Tianzhu, or even back to Britain, so that they can understand one thing. The ocean in the east belongs to the Yanzhou fleet.

"Get ready to fight!" Zhou Yi gave the order as the British fleet was getting closer.

At the moment, his fleet was opposite the British fleet.

The bow of the ship is facing the bow of the other party.

Entering the five-hundred-meter range, the British fleet began to turn its bow and aim the side guns at them.

Zhou Yi also gave the order to turn at the same time, and the Yanzhou fleet also turned and aimed its guns at the opponent.

This time, they were not pulled down when they turned, and the sailing battleship towed by the steamer completed the turn almost simultaneously.

Sail battleships without steamship towing were slower, almost the same speed as the Japanese battleships.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The fleet was traveling in two parallel straight lines, and both sides opened fire almost simultaneously.

Black projectiles flew out from the British battleship, and raindrops fell on the position of the Yanzhou fleet.

The Yanzhou battleship's cannonballs flew over at the same time.

However, most of these shells are round, and a small number are conical shells.

After being bombarded by the British warships, the Yanzhou fleet flew into pieces.

On the British battleship, Wolfe frowned.

A change in formation showed that the performance of Yanzhou's steamships was no different from theirs.

This was even more unbearable for him.

Looking at the flickering fire of the Yanzhou battleship, he and his adjutant went down to the cabin.

For him, the next step is to see who can hold on longer.

However, just as he had just settled down in the cabin, he suddenly heard several huge explosions.

Wolfe was shocked and immediately climbed out of the cabin.

I saw a steamship blazing with fire three hundred meters away from me, with countless sawdust flying in the sky, as if the entire ship had been blown apart.

In addition, behind his battleship, two sail battleships also exploded, until half of the battleship disappeared.

As for the Japanese warships, four of them were in flames and thick smoke was rising into the sky.
