The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Chapter 3232: Tragic naval battle

"Wow." Just when Zhu Qi was surprised, another shell flew over. The shells hit them very accurately, and one shot hit their Qingcheng.

"Wow. Ah." A gunner was hit and let out a scream, and in his position, many gunners were killed before screaming.

"Damn it, Zhao people have powerful artillery." Zhu Qi said after seeing this situation.

"Swish." Just then. The shells flew over again, and ships in other directions were also severely hit.

"Change the formation, use the long snake formation, hurry up." Zhu Qi ordered at this time. Face the opponent's powerful artillery. They can only take such measures. Such an offensive formation can greatly reduce the harassment they face against the opponent's offense.

South Korea's Nanyang Fleet, the flagship, Evergreen. Li Jian changed from surprise to calmness. He watched Zhao Guojun use their powerful artillery to shoot at them frantically. At first, their shells hit few times, but gradually, their shells hit them. More and more times, and there is no battle yet. Seven of the ten warships of the South Korean Navy's Nanyang Squadron have suffered losses to varying degrees. Although it looked like a minor injury, it also greatly affected the ensuing battle.

In fact, at this distance, the Zhao Navy’s artillery hit probability is not very high, especially after the South Korean Navy's Nanyang Fleet changed its offensive formation, the possibility of attack is already relatively small. But the problem is that the South Korean Navy’s South Seas Squadron had a big problem, which affected the next battle.

Faced with such a situation, Li Jian believes that it is necessary to move forward, because if they are passively beaten in this way, it is really impossible to justify, which means they give up completely. For him, this is a very difficult result to accept.

In the Qingcheng cabin. The cabin has been flooded with water everywhere. The old sailors waved their arms and motioned for more sailors to enter the cabin. They took their quilts, clothes, and bedding. They also held their hammers and kept mending with sawdust.

"Fucking, I said, this ship hasn't been hit at all. A shell flies over just one side and hits such a big hole." The old sailor scolded angrily, but he couldn't help it. Who Let this happen. He was also very disgusted with this. When they accepted the warships, he felt that such warships were not good, because these warships were sold to the people of Yueshi and Karachi, and the craftsmanship of the construction of such ships was very simple, more than anything else. It’s simple, it can be described as rough, the materials are not good enough, and the craftsmanship of construction is greatly simplified. Originally, Karachi and Yueshi people were not willing to pay more to buy these ships. South Korea is anxious to use warships, and they take such warships directly for use.

However, the Admiralty has another voice. They believe that if warships are needed, armed merchant ships should be selected for modification. However, armed merchant ships have a fatal flaw, that is, they are merchant ships after all, and their speed cannot be too fast. The South Korean Navy's Nanyang Squadron, which is pursuing speed, ignored this point. They really gave themselves to the pit.

"Wow." The sailors finally blocked a gap, but they didn't expect it. Another blocked gap was suddenly opened.

"Damn it." Seeing such a scene. The old sailor scolded extremely annoyed.

"Tell the captain that we can't move forward at such high speed. The cabin is leaking. Sooner or later we will abandon this battleship." The old sailor ordered. According to his experience, their method of plugging the gap should be feasible, but their speed is too fast. It was so fast that they couldn't bear the pressure of such a big gap. The only solution they can solve is to reduce the possible speed of advancement, or find a stable and hidden place, make a little patch, and get out of the battlefield. This is too dangerous.

In the command cabin.

"Sir, we must slow down. Only in this way can we mend our ships." The staff officer said.

"How is it possible? Why did our ship suffer such a blow and get out of the battle?" Zhu Qi really didn't understand why we did it. He felt that their battleships were very well able to withstand blows before.

"Sir, our ships are all single-hulls, not double-hulls, coupled with fast speed and rough construction. It is easy to go wrong, we must get out of combat." The staff officer said anxiously.

"Damn it, send a report, we are out of the fight." In desperation, Zhu Qi could only give such an order. Someone mentioned this suggestion to him at the beginning. At that time, he just thought that there was a speed advantage, it shouldn't be a problem, but now, the problem has really arisen. He has no other way.

In the Evergreen, Li Jian's command cabin, the atmosphere was very bad. It can be said that it is very bad.

"Sir, now we don’t have the advantage at all. The closer we are to them, the worse our situation will be. This is very bad for us. And now there are three warships out of combat, and three more are already at speed. Can't keep up. Our situation may be really not so good." The staff suggested abandoning the attack. In this case, it is not a big loss for them to leave now.

"No, their wings are trying to break our back, but as long as we directly attack the past and kill their main battleships, those battleships equipped with powerful artillery, we can at least be tied, but if we withdraw like this The battle, everything is over." Li Jian knows the current situation very well. They can't withdraw from the battle anyway, because in that case, all of them will be finished. In the case of no results and relatively large losses, his position and the establishment may be completely abolished. He does not allow this to happen.

"Sir. Our two wings found the battleships of Zhao and Qi, they are following us quickly. In that case, our situation will be very passive." Another staff officer reported.

Hearing such news, everyone in the cabin was shocked. They knew that their way back might be finished.

"Let the slow-moving warships get out of the battle in the battle formation. The rest continue to attack me. We must have the results, even if we hit them, we will also knock them down." Li Jian said with a fist in his hand.

"Okay." Seeing that the will of their officers was so simple, the staff had no choice.

The Qingcheng and five other warships slowly left the formation with a 12-section defensive formation. Although the warships outflanked by the Zhao State and Qi State Navy had a numerical advantage, they only moved back and forth to shoot. Originally, the shooting skills of the army were not very high. This was the result of a lack of long-term training. However, the hastily established Zhao and Qi navies did not have such mature gunners at all. Only a large number of trained gunners can achieve such results. The relatively slow Korean warships, because of the many trainings and their slow speed, have achieved very good results, forcing the warships of the constantly moving combined fleet not to lean on it. After all, their level is very clear. .

The Evergreen was approaching quickly at this time, and Li Jian had already made up his mind that he must take down one of the opponent's warships. Only in this way can he tie such a result, with such determination, their speed is getting faster and faster.

"Boom." A shell hit the boiler of the battleship Jiaozhou next to it. White steam blew out, and many crew members jumped into the sea with loud screams, and they were all burned.

"Go forward." Li Jian said without any influence.

On the Handan, Ma was very worried because the South Korean side adopted the tactics of directly attacking their central formation, and the warships on both sides were already in a state of fighting, and they were unable to help themselves. There were only two fast warships. They went to intercept, but they didn't play much role at all. The two sides passed by in a flash, causing almost negligible losses to the other side.

"Damn it. Damn it," Ma Bin cursed. Seeing the Korean warships getting closer, Ma Bin suddenly felt a little anxious at this moment. Or fear, he feels that the other person is not good.

"Quickly stop them, hold them, don't let them approach us, let's get out of the fight, hurry up." Ma He ordered. He knows that the advantage of his warship lies in long-range shooting, not close combat. Although their artillery has advantages in close combat, they are not easy to aim and the opponent's speed is very fast. This requires an advance and relying on his under-trained gunners. Can't defeat the opponent's battleship, once the opponent steps forward, the situation will soon be reversed, which is definitely not the result he wants to see.

"Bang Bang." Just as the order was given, the Evergreen rushed over and fired quickly. One of their shells knocked out a 57mm rapid-fire gun. But before Zhao’s side had time to fire back, they suffered losses because they had not aimed at each other, and the South Korean side had already fired at them.

"Damn it, no. They have iron armor." A navy sergeant exclaimed. His first shell hit the port side of the opponent, but the shell was missed.

"Quickly, use armor-piercing bullets, quickly." The sergeant shouted loudly. He suddenly felt that the situation was not good. Originally thought that the opponent's warship was only using wooden shell ships, but now they suddenly realized that the opponent was using iron armor, and their shells were too powerful. You can't penetrate the opponent at all if you hit it.

"It's over. Hurry up," the sergeant yelled. He is very anxious now, because the opponent's muzzle is changing direction, as long as you aim at them, they will be dead as soon as the gun is fired.

"Sir, the other party has armor." A staff officer reported to Li Jian in the command cabin.

"Damn it. Go up, fight, and give the artillery some chances." Li Jian ordered. He knew that at this time, he could only penetrate the opponent's armor when he was close, and he didn't expect to encounter such a thing at first. This was obviously far beyond his expectation.

"Hahaha." Ma Xian was very happy to see that the opponent did not penetrate him after firing the cannon.

"Stay steady for me. Give him a shot." Ma Bing exclaimed in excitement. This result made him so happy. Because he suddenly found that the other party seemed to be unable to take him, as long as he stabilized the situation, his situation would become very advantageous.

"Toward the other party's command cabin, send me a shot. Uncle let him see who is the best." Ma Ping said with a smile. When he said that, he let people aim at the other's vital position to give a shot.

"Sir. Be careful." After a loud noise. Li Jian's ears buzzed, and he felt his head was so heavy that he couldn't lift his head at all, he felt as if his head was about to be knocked out. There was blood everywhere in the command cabin, and there was a large pool of steaming meat on the podium. Li Jian felt that he couldn't bear such a situation at all.

Their cabin was hit. Fires were still burning in some places, and some crew members outside rushed to put out the fire, and their captain was also injured. One arm was knocked off. The bones are all exposed.

"Sir, sir." The crew shouted excitedly. The situation is very unfavorable for them.

"Bang. Bang." The evergreen that was approaching kept firing, but only a small part of the shells could penetrate the opponent's armor, and all the others were blown away. Although they have been constantly close to each other. However, there is not much use at all, and the opponent is aiming at the opponent steadily and is giving a devastating blow.

And beside them. One warship has been sunk, and the sea is full of escaping South Korean crew members, while another warship has been hit hard and its boilers have been blown away.

"Boom." A huge explosion came, and a shell hit the ammunition bay of a battleship, detonating the stored shells. It caused a huge explosion. Sawdust flew around, and many people were torn into pieces on the spot.

"Sir, what should we do?" Li Jian, who was awakened by the huge explosion, looked at the battle outside. This time their loss was very large, not normal, but very large. They have failed. The staff also suffered heavy losses. His face was pale, perhaps because of excessive blood loss, or that this huge failure made him lose his blood.

"Damn it." Li Jian used a lot of strength to say such a thing, but the surrounding crew looked at him, and they knew that they had done their best for this naval battle. Before the war, they still had great hope, but now, they have no such hope. They just want to end the **** battle on the battlefield as soon as possible. They don't want to continue fighting anymore.

"Okay. Everyone, you have completed your mission. You, you are all good." Li Jian Ninja said in pain. His arms are short. After a simple dressing, the blood is still flowing.

"You all abandon the boat. You did a good job." Li Jian said.

"Sir, we, we don't want to leave." Some crew members said at this time. They have a fine tradition.

"No, you have to be here. There is no way. This war is our own battle. We have to go on and burn the boiler. I want to hit the opponent's main battleship. I can't do it. Quickly." Li Jian ordered. A crew member helped him to stand under his sign. He knew he had done something wrong. But before he died, he must also make his warship the last shell to hit the opponent. That's what Li Jian thought in his heart. After a simple arrangement, the crew escaped one after another, and the boiler was filled with fuel. Li Jian used the last warship to turn into the last shell and slammed into the past.

Although the Handan pouring a large number of shells against the opponent, the opponent's battleship still caused a lot of trauma to itself. The Handan battleship has not been overhauled for six months and cannot be repaired at all. Fortunately, five warships with different losses left the battlefield. They returned to the Queen’s Island naval base, and the combined fleet could not continue recently. After all, they still realized their shortcomings, even though they took a lot of money. , But they also knew that in a short period of time they still could not shake the position of the other South Korean navy.

Zhao Guo was the first to know the situation of the battle. The radio telegraph reported the situation on the battlefield to Zhao Guo and Handan on and off. Although it took a lot of time to send and receive telegrams, it was still much earlier than the South Korean Navy.

"We won. We won." In the Department of the Navy of the State of Zhao, the minister jumped up happily. The Deputy Commander of the Navy was also very excited. They finally defeated the South Korean Navy once, which made a big stone fall in their hearts, and now they are finally relaxed.

"This battle is really not easy, it's really not easy." Many people said excitedly. When they saw the process of the battle, they all felt very worried. After all, the occurrence of such a thing had far exceeded their expectations. In the case of their technological superiority, the South Korean Navy can still exert great combat effectiveness. The calmness and proficiency of their sailors, as well as the tactical arrangements for retreat, and calmness, these are what a first-class navy should have. .

On the other hand, the Zhao State and Qi State Joint Fleet, although they occupy a great technical advantage, they did not give full play to these great advantages in terms of technical advantages. On the contrary, they were offset by their poor technical level. This caused a great loss. However, they are very happy now, because they finally defeated each other once, such a victory is too time to come. Otherwise, their losses will be very large. This is for them. But the best result of decompression.

Inside the prime minister's house.

"Fucking, they finally won once." Guo Kai scolded with a smile. Perhaps only such laughter and scolding can greatly relieve one's nervous emotions.

"Prime Minister, next, we can finally sit down and talk with the Koreans. This is a great good thing for us." The assistant said from the side.

"Yes. We can finally sit down and talk." Guo Kai said.
