Chapter 962 Hanging
"attack!"
The quiet sea was broken by Li Wei's loud command. Under his command, all the warships rushed out from behind the mountains that were crossing the sea at full speed.
At this time, twenty warships loaded with British soldiers were sailing towards them, and they were the British warships looking for opportunities to land.
Seeing the warships of the Great Yu Kingdom that suddenly appeared, these British warships were obviously very scared. They immediately ordered the warships to adjust their hulls to fight along the wind direction.
"The warships of the Great Yu Kingdom are in a downward trend, which is very beneficial to us. Kill them!" The captain of the warship issued a combat order on the British warship led by the leader.
As a warship, he is very familiar with the ocean currents and wind directions on the sea. This time they chose this opportunity to go north because both the ocean currents and the wind direction are very beneficial to them.
In battle, they will definitely be in the upper hand, which is conducive to their T-snatching battle.
Like him, other warships responded quickly. They adjusted their hulls along the wind direction. The wind power gradually turned their hulls, which were originally moving forward, into a sideways. In this way, their muzzles could be aimed at the enemy.
However, the once-step process happened to them while they were turning. They thought that their twenty warships could successfully turn into "one" and form a confrontation with the warships of the Great Yu Kingdom.
However, the warships of the Great Yu Kingdom, which originally appeared in the formation of "one", actually deviated toward them east at an astonishing speed. In this way, the idea of "two" pairing they formed was completely broken.
Soon, they will fall into a disadvantage and turn into a cross-over T-word, which is fatal to them, because they cannot fight back and can only be beaten for nothing.
When the British warships were in chaos, Levi showed a confident smile on his face.
There is no doubt that the British warships are very clumsy, and he will not be stupid enough to use twelve warships to shoot against an enemy that is far more numerous than his own.
After all, the British who were brave enough to attack them now are likely to be equipped with exploding flowering bullets, so they shot against each other without any skills. Their battleship was the first to be sunk.
Therefore, if they fight like this, they will definitely lose and will not be able to use the advantages of the steam engine power.
So Levi ordered to avoid direct shooting with British warships, but instead used his maneuverability to rush around the sea to snatch T.
His strategy was very effective. Soon the sail warships that rely solely on wind power and ocean currents were defeated in this way. The twelve warships quickly seized the upper wind from north to south.
Not far away, Wilson was coming to support him desperately. He witnessed the whole process of the flexible maneuver of the Great Yu Kingdom warship, which completely lost his composure.
For hundreds of years, they have always been able to occupy a favorable position in naval battles with their rich experience, but now, the young navy of the Great Yu Kingdom has easily occupied a favorable shooting position with these black smoke warships.
But his warship was too slow. Before they arrived, the deafening sound of cannons suddenly rang out. The warships of the Great Yu Kingdom swayed, and layers of ripples were shaken out of the water surface.
White smoke floated up from the Great Yu warship, and the British warship that had been chasing the Great Yu warship happened to become a T-shaped vertical line at this moment.
"Boom boom boom..." Twelve warships opened fire at the same time.
In an instant, the British warship, which was the first to be hit by the shells fired by the Great Yu Kingdom. Accompanied by the huge explosion, the wooden boards of the British warship flew across the sky and flames soared into the sky.
"Boom boom boom..."
After the first round of shooting, the Dayu warship quickly fired for the second time, and twelve warships tilted more than 700 shells onto the British warships.
The explosion was like a dense drum beat, and the flames formed a long dragon on the sea. The warships of the Great Yu Kingdom were sailing rapidly on the sea while firing fire at the British warships.
British warships were constantly chasing the warships of the Great Yu Kingdom for opportunities to bombard, but they were always unable to catch up with the Great Yu Kingdom warships.
"Give me a hard blow." Li Wei shouted, with two rounds of volleys, twenty British warships were hit by shells and burned into fireballs.
Under his command, the gunners of the battleship continued to load shells, and the third, fourth, and fifth rounds of shelling began.
"Boom boom boom..."
Under the dense rain of bullets, British warships suffered heavy damage again.
However, the British, who were trapped in extreme passivity, seemed to be aroused by fierceness. They no longer fought as a whole, but suddenly became free combat.
The remaining British warships no longer lined up in an array, but suddenly changed their courses. The six warships had different directions. In this way, they always had one ship facing the warships of the Great Yu Kingdom.
"Boom boom boom..."
Soon, a British warship found its shooting position. The warship had been hit by the artillery shells from the Great Yu Kingdom and was blazing with flames, but it still fought to the death without retreating.
"Dongdongdongdong..."
Sixty shells swept across the sea, and a moving Dayu warship could not dodge as much as seven shells in a row.
As these shells exploded on the outside of the ship, Levi finally got first-hand information, and the British are now using the Kaikai Bullet.
Seven holes were blown out on the side of the Dayu Warship that was hit, and the flames burned in the hole. The most deadly thing was that the explosion of a shell was exactly where the steam engine was located, which caused damage to the steam engine.
"Oops."
When Li Wei discovered this, he immediately asked the flag-speaker on the mast to send a command, asking the damaged warship to switch to sails, and then the wind power exited the battlefield.
Because damaged warships will only become living targets for the enemy and will also affect other warships.
"Continue to fight." After orders were issued, Li Wei continued to command the fleet to shell the remaining British warships.
When they lost the second warship, they completely wiped out twenty British warships. The British soldiers wearing redwoods on the warships were seriously injured, and the alive soldiers could only struggle in the sea.
"Captain, the British support fleet has arrived."
After packing up twenty warships, the warships led by Wilson were about to enter their range.
"There are so many people who are not afraid of death." Li Wei spitted.
The twenty warships just now were actually not simply British, but also French warships, because some warships were flying French flags.
In addition to France and Britain, he also saw the flag of Spain.
"Even if we fight to the point where only one warship is left, we must protect the military port and the shipyard, so that these Westerners who think they are superior to others understand our power." Li Wei shouted loudly to the soldiers on the ship.
"Damn it." The soldiers shouted.
