"A gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall, and naval warfare is no better than land warfare. If the Neon Man sinks the flagship at all costs, everything will stop."

Zuo Zongtang and Liu Buchan both knelt down.

"I'll just wait for the ship in secret, and you don't have to worry about how the town should command it."

Wang Guangxu said calmly.

If you board the ship with great fanfare, and the Neon people will sink their ship first regardless of the cost, Liu Buchan will definitely change the formation and layout to protect himself. Such a formation may inevitably make the engine room unable to fully utilize the firepower. In the case of absolute naive strength, it is very likely that the entire naval battle will fail because of himself.

"But the emperor is still in danger like this. There are no guns, which is really unpredictable."

Zuo Zongtang still persuaded that if there is such a situation, it can be said that most of the credit is the emperor in front of him. Once something happens, the consequences will be disastrous.

"I don't have to say any more about my intentions, you just treat me as if I don't exist, and everything will be the first sea battle."

Wang Guangxu's words are categorical. After so many years of preparations, if the outcome of this war cannot be changed, then his own crossing will be meaningless...

The fleet's tactics of breaking the cross-traffic, the blow to the neon transportation line, it can be said that if this continues, the war will not have to be fought at all, and if the neon is consumed, it will be in a desperate situation because of the lack of local materials.

This invisibly put a lot of pressure on the Neon Navy, and they couldn't wait to defeat this broken fleet.

Heyuan Yaoyi originally struck the fleet together in order to avoid being destroyed by each, but the navy, how could he find it in the vast sea, was forced to disperse the ships.

He can only divide the fleet into three parts and look for them separately.

Yoshino and Takachiho are in one group, Akitsushu is in a group with Naniwa, and Kyushu is acting alone. In his opinion, most of their fleets are new ships. Except for a very fast cruiser, the broken fleet should not be able to catch up. For themselves, they can choose to fight or not to fight at any time.

And they mainly rely on sticks and neon channels to cruise, which is more convenient if something hits them.

On May 17, the cruiser Yoshino, the iron-clad ship Takachiho, led by Yuyuki Kaye, encountered a broken squad formed by Guangyuan and Guangwu in a place 30 nautical miles south of Jeju Island.Because there are a lot of neon ships on this route, all the activities of Qing Dynasty in this area are relatively frequent, and I met it by coincidence today.

"Damn Daqing people, even if you are cunning, you are still not caught by us. Tell Nomura Sada, go up and sink them!"

Yoshino's upper Luye Yongzhijin decisively ordered. In his opinion, although the two ships of the Qing Dynasty have 4,800 tons, one of them has been in service for nearly ten years, and he is a ship in the last two or three years. And not lagging behind in firepower.

"But, General. The two ships on the opposite side have 4,800 tons."

A staff officer said with some concern.

What are you afraid of?Except for the four major ships, which of our ships can be compared with them?But our ships are newer than them, and their firepower is stronger."

"Besides, other warships are also nearby and will be coming soon,"

Luye Yongzhijin still maintained his decision.

Indeed, due to funding issues, the policy implemented by the Neon Navy is to carry artillery in small boats.

"Yes, General." 1234 novel www.1234xs.com

The staff officer immediately went to deliver the order.Immediately a flare was turned into the air, and the sound of a huge explosion could be heard dozens of nautical miles away.

The Qing fleet not far away also fired a flare, because the other ships on both sides were not far away, and the support soon returned.

"Go ahead and get ready for battle!"

Yuan Jiugao on the Guangyuan ship only hesitated for a while before he made a decision.The Guangwu ship followed with the same idea.

So the two sides approached quickly with the same purpose and confidence.

Ten thousand meters!Nine kilometers!Eight kilometers!

The gunners of the Qing Dynasty were already in the process of tight pitch adjustment and muzzle elevation.

"Fire!"

When the distance between the two sides was about 7,000 meters, Yuan Jiugao decisively ordered.

"Boom! Boom!"

The two twin 240MM main guns on the'Guangyuan' made a huge roar, the whole ship trembled slightly, and the four artillery shells were already out of the chamber and roared towards the Japanese ship.

"Idiot! Fire so far! The best range of less than 6000 meters is a waste of shells."

Lu Ye Yongzhi said disdainfully, and looked down on the Navy a bit.

The theoretical range of large-caliber artillery can reach 10,000 meters or more. If it is a large-caliber land gun, it may be hit by oil at a distance, but the trajectory of the artillery at sea is affected by sea wind, ship speed, stability and other factors. Impact.

Fired at a distance of more than six kilometers, the hit rate is pitiful.

Sure enough, the four artillery shells stirred up a huge water column around the Takachiho, but even the latest shell landing was 300 meters away, and it had no effect on the Takachiho's advance.

"Haha, stupid Qing people. Do they think they are the navy of Geely?"

Seeing this scene, Lu Ye Yongzhi Jin was completely relieved, and the nervous neon navy officers and soldiers also showed a smile.

"Boom! Boom!"

The Guangyuan was not affected by the previous impact, but continued to fire. At this time, the Guangwu behind him also started a test fire on the Yoshino.

In the second round of shelling, the agitated water column was already within 100 meters of the Japanese ship, and the Neon Navy had clearly felt the sound waves produced by the huge explosion.

"Damn the Qing people!"

"Quickly change direction!"

Lu Ye Yongzhi Jin's expression changed and he immediately ordered.

The Neon Navy no longer dared to rush forward and start to do irregular movements

In the third round of shelling, the distance between the two sides was shortened to 6,500 meters, and the Guangyuan had already achieved a straddle firing against Takachiho. The neon navy aboard the Takachiho palpitated and the atmosphere suddenly became tense...
