New Ming Empire mixed in America

When the new warships face these heroic expedition fleets, they directly transform into warriors with high attack, defense and attack speed.

After the continuous bombardment made the two British warships lose the ability to resist, the remaining warships had already seen that the situation was not good and began to turn.

Song He led the second formation through the gaps between these battleships and quickly rushed towards the battlefield where the melee was taking place.

Of course, breaking through the obstruction is not without cost. The turret of Song He's ship was hit by two solid bullets at the bottom of the turret, causing the turret's slide rail to deform, making the turret take longer to rotate.

In addition, six armored gunboats were damaged by broadside salvos fired by the British fleet.

After the fleet with the British found that they could not help the new warships, they set their sights on the armored gunboats that followed the action.

Being hit one after another by dense artillery shells, the outer armor of the gunboat was directly torn apart, causing serious damage to the warship. Finally, it lost power and stopped on the sea waiting for rescue after the battle.

Now both sides have no time to launch rescue operations. Not only the armored gunboats, but also the flagship of the British interception fleet was destroyed, and no one can take care of them.

Now the intercepting fleets are rushing towards the melee position desperately, because they already know who the target of these new warships is.

Relying on speed, Song He led the second formation and rushed straight towards the three second-level battleships leading the British Expedition Fleet.

This time, as long as Daiying's flagship is damaged or sunk, half of the strategic goal will be achieved.

The remaining half is to chase the remaining battleships and sink the opponent's troop transport.

At this time, warships on the battlefield have begun to withdraw from the battle area, and the first to withdraw is the warship with three.

The purpose of their visit this time was to save face. After finding that the battleships of the Xinming Empire were too difficult to deal with, they began to evacuate.

It's not that they are timid, it's just that this battle happened too suddenly.

And the battle became fierce as soon as it started. They had just watched helplessly as the Argentine battleship, also a fourth-class ship, was turned into a big coffin on the sea by a salvo.

So they made plans to evacuate, and the first formation of the Xinming Empire fought too wretchedly.

They rely on speed to pick out warships that are weaker than themselves. For example, Argentina's fourth-level ship was sunk in this way.

The two armored battleships of the Xin Ming Empire directly bypassed the four third-level battleships that were catching up, and went straight to the Argentine battleship that was acting as a cheerleader behind them.

If it were not for the timely support brought by the British warships, Argentina dispatched two fourth-level ships this time and not a single one would be left.

Later, they set their sights on Nasan's fourth-level ship. Two long-range salvos made Nasan's warship successfully raise the white flag and begin to evacuate.

There were also some observers from Europe mixed among those merchant ships, and most of their merchant ships flew the Chilean flag to express neutrality.

Of course, there were also two unobtrusively flying Peruvian flags. They were chased and beaten for a while by two armored gunboats that took a break from the business. They only stopped after raising the white flag.

These merchant ships watching the battle were too close to the battlefield, otherwise the armored gunboats wouldn't be able to keep an eye on these guys.

After seeing Nasan's warship withdraw from the battlefield with a white flag, all the observers had ridicule on their faces.

After all, they are both members of Europe, and none of these people have any good intentions toward the powerful Nexus.

"I think in the future warships should learn from the tactics of the Easterners and vigorously develop warship speed."

An observer held a telescope and kept talking about his thoughts. Three stenographers stood beside him, responsible for recording what he said.

"These Eastern warships relied on their speed to spin the British warships around. Just like the Hun cavalry in the Middle Ages, the Easterners once again set off the Yellow Peril!"

Having said this, he suddenly saw that the expedition fleet led by Ying began to shrink. Some warships gave up chasing the 'Reserved King' and the others and moved closer to the location of the flagship.

"What kind of tactic is this? After gathering together, are you waiting for the Eastern warships to eat away at the outer warships bit by bit?"

"Which idiot came up with this tactic? It's just...oh, what's that?"

Another formation of Eastern warships suddenly appeared in this observer's telescope.

And after this battleship formation rushed into the battlefield, it immediately divided into two parts.

The armored gunboats began to rush towards the supply ships and troop transports cruising near the flagship.

The four huge ironclad ships with strange turrets rushed towards the location of Dai Ying's flagship.

This is the reason why those British warships gathered towards the flagship position. It was because these four warships that suddenly appeared were too powerful.

Relying on the pear-shaped collision angle in front of the battleship, they completely ignored the steam gunboat in front of them and directly crushed it.

And those steam gunboats with a displacement of about a thousand tons were knocked away or sunk like babies in front of these giants.

This observer had just watched helplessly as a sixteen-gun steam gunboat fired only two rounds of artillery before being smashed into two pieces by a new type of ironclad ship from the East that rushed over.

Apart from slightly slowing down the speed of the new ironclad ship, this collision caused no other damage.

Of course, there were other losses. For example, some of the paint on Song He's ship had just completed the collision, causing Song He to curse for a while.

"This is the capital ship of the Orientals, an invincible existence!"

After muttering something, the observer yelled crazily toward the cab:

"Get closer, get closer quickly, we want to see this kind of warship up close!"

Not only him, but the other observers were also crazy, especially the battlefield observer from Prussia who was trembling with excitement.

These merchant ships responsible for battlefield observation not only have military envoys, but also carry several talents with shipbuilding experience.

After they saw this new type of armored ship from the Xinming Empire, they all went crazy.

The people on the ship shouted at the merchant ships to get closer, and even grabbed a few cameras from reporters to take pictures of the ironclad ship.

And the performance of the new ironclad ships of the Xinming Empire did not disappoint them.

After these armored ships approached the flagship, they immediately began to chase the flagship and set fire. After less than half an hour of artillery battle.

Daiying's flagship had caught fire in many places, and a huge gap was made in the stern. Daiying's naval soldiers on the deck were also lying on the ground.

The Xinming Empire's combination of eliminating the artillery deck and using outer deck turrets makes the battleship look much fatter than ordinary battleships.

Therefore, there are not only main gun turrets on the deck, but also some open-air gun emplacements equipped with small-caliber naval guns.

These small-caliber naval guns played a huge role in the close combat just now, directly turning the deck of Daiying's flagship into a living hell.

After the shells, which are more ferocious than the explosive shells, explode, a pile of corpses of British naval soldiers will fall on the deck.

This new type of artillery shell gave all battlefield observers a chill on their backs, and every time the main gun on the new ironclad ship was fired, it would cause huge trauma to the flagship.

Now Daiying's flagship had basically lost its ability to resist. The black smoke that kept coming out of the gun window told everyone that their gun cabin was in trouble.

The large hole in the stern was a wound left after being hit by armor-piercing projectiles one after another.

The torpedoes were of little use in the previous battle because the steam gunboats surrounding the flagship blocked the torpedoes' path.

The speed of the Xinming Empire is not very fast. To put it bluntly, it is a cannonball with a propeller added. Its speed is not much faster even if it wants to be.

But the power made everyone tremble. Those steam gunboats only needed one shot to blast a gap below the waterline.

Because the explosion is underwater, all shock waves can be directed towards the ship.

The thin wooden cabin cannot stop this explosion, and it will directly tear a big hole, and then under the action of pressure, this hole will slowly tear the entire ship from the middle.

What excited these observers the most was that the only ironclad ship that led the British Expeditionary Fleet also participated in the battle.

Relying on its thick armor, the Black Prince stood directly between the flagship and the new Ming Empire's new battleship.

Be prepared to buy enough time for the officers on the flagship to change ships.

And at this time, other warships slowly surrounded them, and it seemed that they were going to attack these four new iron-clad ships of the Xinming Empire.

PS: Don’t worry, there’s more, I’ll stay up late today to rush out.

Because of checking information, I finished updating today...so I stayed up late tonight!
