You can search for the latest chapters in Baidu for "Super Emperors Search Novels of the Late Qing Dynasty (www.soxscc.com)"!Merchant ships have no protection at all, and rapid-fire guns are mostly incendiary and blooming bombs. In just ten minutes, several merchant ships loaded with rice burned and sank.

And some neon people took advantage of this time to get on the lifeboat, and those who could not get on the boat resolutely abandoned the ship and jumped into the sea. They didn't think that the merchant ship could survive the bombardment of warships.

"Admiral, what about those neon people?"

Xue Guangren, deputy chief of Guantong, ran over and asked those who were struggling in the sea.

"Kill! Revenge for the people of Yingzhou!"

Lin Tai spit out a few words coldly.

"Yes! Your lord."

Xue Guangren immediately issued the order.

"Come on! Sink the neon man's lifeboat for me. Take revenge for the people of Yingzhou."

"All the neon people who put down the torpedo boats alive are killed!"

"These neon people are pirates. We don't know how many fishermen have been poisoned by them. Don't be soft."

...

The warship accelerated and leaned forward, and even put down a group of small boats on it, full of Marines with live ammunition.

"Amaterasu! Save your people, they will kill us all,"

"Damn, damn Qing people, we fought with them and made them pay the price."

Seeing the Qing ship approaching, they either cursed or tried to fight to death by someone drew out a katana, a pistol, and a rifle.

But in the face of huge warships and soldiers crushed by weapons, their results can be imagined.Twenty minutes later, Zhenyuan and Yangwei sailed away, leaving only fragments of wreckage and corpses on the sea.

Eight days later, dozens of merchant ships were destroyed, a large amount of materials sank to the bottom of the sea, and it seemed that there were people's warships everywhere.

There are two incidents here today, five incidents two hundred nautical miles away tomorrow, and sometimes even seven or eight attacks a day.

The Navy’s tactics of breaking the diplomatic ties have cost the Neon Navy a heavy price. Although they have a strong fleet, they have never participated in large-scale naval battles and coordinated sea-land wars.

They are too immature in experience. They have learned some things, and they can, but they don’t necessarily notice after learning, and they may not be able to cope with them, and they may not cope well.

There is a qualitative difference between training and actual combat. Such a lesson has been lost several times when fighting the Gili Gaul Navy, and now it appears in the Neon Man.

Ten years of army and 100 years of navy are no exaggeration. In thirty years, three great sea battles have made oneself a naval power, but Neon is obviously not.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After several fierce artillery battles opened up, this time the destroyer was eyeing a full six neon merchant ships.

This is the neon iron ore they pulled back from Australia.In order to prevent possible raids, there was even a gunboat escorted, and several autocannons were installed on the merchant ships.

But the broken ship had been eyeing this fleet a long time ago, and even after gathering five ships, it took two days to find them.

Never let the above one ton of iron ore flow into Neon's homeland.Yuyu Novel www.yuyubook.com

The five ships of Zhenyuan all use incendiary bombs and incendiary bombs. Once this wooden hull catches fire in many places, it will be his nightmare.

"boom!"

Dingyuan's secondary artillery roared, and the shell carrying a huge sonic boom drew a beautiful arc in the air, hitting the sidestring of the largest merchant ship "Nagoya".

The 190MM incendiary bomb easily tore his wooden hull, and exploded in his inner storage. The rapidly spreading fire did not even make the firefighters have the courage to rush down...

Along with these ships sinking into the seabed, there is also a gunboat and more than 20,000 tons of high-quality iron ore...

No matter how secretive the Qing Dynasty was, the ships of Zou from other countries who were far away saw this scene, and the military observers of the countries also saw the performance of breaking the war book on the destroyer, the information will always be leaked...

"These despicable people of the Qing Dynasty are actually attacking our transport ship. What is the navy doing! If this continues, not only will the army get no supplies, even the people of the empire will starve to death."

A friend of Lu Xiangshan County stared at Haixiang Huashan Ziji fiercely and roared.

The honeymoon is short-lived. During these few self-interests, the Army did not hesitate to start accusing the Navy of its incompetence.

"War will inevitably lead to losses. The imperial navy is preparing the Qing navy for a decisive battle. As long as we win, we will completely control the sea."

"Didn't the army say that everything can be recovered? Iron ore and grain are not a problem."

Huashan Ziji's face was also full of embarrassment, but he still insisted on defending himself.

"Huh! The people of the Qing dynasty blew up all the iron ore caves in Bangzi, and it will take at least several months to resume production!"

"You don't have to worry about food. Just grab those stickmen. What about bullets and gunpowder?"

The voice of friends in Shan County also softened.Snorted coldly.

Hirobumi Ito, who had become a veteran sitting in the back, watched this scene coldly.

Originally, the next few months were the time to hoard supplies. With the supplies, it could last for at least half a year. But now that the war started ahead of schedule, it was trapped in the dilemma of no foreign input and only two months.

The shortcomings of fighting ahead of time were revealed so soon.

"Mr. Huashan, the Qing people are now attacking our transportation line. Once the transportation line is completely cut off, you should understand what kind of predicament the empire will fall into. You must come up with a plan."

"Otherwise, this matter will alarm His Majesty the Emperor!"

Prime Minister Matsukata sighed in controversy, and he glanced at Ito Hirobumi in the distance.

In fact, he understands that this seat Ito Hirobumi is the best, and he can propose it now, but the veterans behind him will not agree.

"I have sent someone to inform our merchant ship to take shelter at the nearest port,"

"The navy will also send warships to encircle and suppress this detachment in an effort to wipe them out."

"Important things can be put together to form a fleet for transportation, and the navy will escort them."

Huashan Ziji thought for a while and said.

Everyone nodded and that was the only way to go. It was less efficient but safer. In fact, the Navy should have thought of these things long ago, but...some people are already skeptical about whether they can win this naval battle...
