The original visual range of about 12,000 meters became a thorough theoretical value.

One is a purposeful waiting for the rabbit, and the other is a purposeless observation. You can imagine who Narcissus finds.

The Geely army has already begun to change its formation. Their original heading is northwest, so it is easy to turn directly into the horizontal of the T, and the fleet is the vertical of the T.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and the waves on the sea are getting bigger and bigger, and they have entered the range of the artillery, but the Geely army can’t see the Beiyang Fleet clearly, but the moment they can see each other clearly, it’s their artillery. When venting anger.

At this time, the Daqing sailors were fixing some things on the deck to clear the water.The lookouts were also swayed by the shock, and they were always blinded by the rising fog while holding their telescopes.

Standing on the Chaowei ship, Deng Shichang was standing next to Chuanxuan. Suddenly a small black spot flashed by in his career. He couldn't help being shocked. He quickly raised the telescope in his hand, The ups and downs of the waves, a huge warship, are fading.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Sound the siren!"

He shouted hoarsely, using his ass to think of which country could have such a large fleet in Asia since the Gaul Fleet was a child, and at this time they have already pulled apart and placed in front of the fleet.

The soldiers hurriedly sounded the explosive, the piercing battle alarm with the buzzer sounded, cutting through the sky, and the ships also observed the situation one after another, and the alarm was still corresponding.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was 6,500 meters, and immediately entered the best range of about 5,000 meters.

Due to the wind and waves, some sailors stayed on the deck, and they quickly rushed to their posts.

At this time, the hard training also reflected his role. After the brother's cabin door opened and the rest of the people heard the alarm, although they were not disturbed, they rushed out of the cabin the fastest and rushed towards each other. Position.The sound of footsteps running everywhere for a while.

"Using Chaowei as the benchmark, the rudder is full, and the Chaoyong is full."

Liu Buchan yelled frantically.

When he discovered the Geely Nation fleet, Liu Buchan was in a state of confusion. He was quite at the disadvantage he was at this time. At such a close distance, the other party had already prepared for artillery fire, and he was on the T-shaped vertical. .

Facing the opponent's superior artillery fire, he couldn't help but regret it secretly, and he had many opportunities to avoid this encounter, because his own assumptions put the fleet at a disadvantage.

Liu Buchan knew in his heart that the Geely Kingdom’s Far East Fleet must have waited for his reinforcements, otherwise they would not be able to choose a decisive battle.

So he ordered the fleet to separate from the middle, turning left and right respectively, so that he could turn himself from the T-shaped vertical into two parallel lines of fire.Picture Broadcasting World Novel www.tubo123.com

There was no problem with this order, and it was the best way to solve the awkward situation of the Qing fleet, but at this time the two fleets were too close.The two sides have been within six kilometers in a short time.

This movement of the Qing Fleet was just the beginning, and a huge roar sounded, followed by black spots in the sky hitting them, and the howling sound of the cannonballs flying was particularly gloomy in the wind.

The actions of the Geely State Fleet in the anti-wind and huge waves are still neat and uniform, with clear goals and showing the fleet what a truly world-class navy is.

Suddenly.

The Chaoyong was hit hard. This 5,700-ton heavy cruiser was built in 1876, formerly known as the "Dwell", with a 280MM main gun, but it can maintain a speed of up to 17 knots. His defense is conceivable.

Although he has 200MM armor, this armor is wrought iron armor, not Dingyuan's steel alloy armor.(Adding a small amount of iron to pure steel can increase the hardness of the armor without being as brittle as pure steel).

Small-caliber shells can only leave a pit on his body and destroy his armor a bit larger, but don’t forget that the Geely Army now has six huge ships over 6000 tons.

A 12-inch, 26-caliber heavy artillery on Geely Fleury White hit him, and the power of the artillery shells from this cannon was even higher than Dingyuan.(25 times the caliber and 26 times the caliber)

The armor-piercing bullet easily ripped his hull.It exploded in the warehouse.Suddenly the hull was enveloped in yellow smoke.

"Yellow powder? Geely people also invented yellow powder!"

Liu Buchan's heart was even more tense in the distance. He who originally thought he had mastered this technique was poured with cold water.

At this time, yellow gunpowder has entered the military field for a year, and its tremendous power has gradually been accepted by various powers. The first batch of shells produced on a large scale was the first to be equipped with the Royal Navy, which is regarded as the lifeblood of Gran.

The huge explosion not only damaged the structure of the ship, but also caused a skyrocket. Many wooden structures inside became the best fuel for the fire, and the fire spread quickly.Chaoyong was immediately surrounded by flames.

Then there is Chaowei, Yang Wu, these battleships in the front line, and the Chaowei where Deng Shichang is located is okay. This 6000-ton battle cruiser, formerly known as the Baya, was originally a battleship due to its excellent firepower and armor. use.

Although the armor thickness is 100MM less than Dingyuan, it is also alloy steel. Even if it is not too important for a few shots, it can still barely keep turning.

The other cruisers were not so lucky.Yang Wu was taken care of by the local firepower.

A total of four shots were shot. In addition to two less important wounds, a 280mm shell hit his armor plate. His fragile armor was directly torn apart. The shell exploded in the center of the ship, and the other was 24035 times larger. The heavy-caliber artillery hit the position of his 225MM main gun, and the huge shell shook all the gunners inside...... ..
