1239 Pinnacle Battleship
The students at the Naval Academy were already crazy at this moment. Deng Shichang and others felt that their hearts had stopped beating, and the blood flowing all over their bodies was solidified and still.
What a violent picture this is, the lonely northern knight killed through the formation, and behind him was a sea of fire. The Russian fleet's military formation was instantly stabbed, and no one could stop the Zhiyuan.
A cavalry is far away and kills the enemy in the interlacing! The Diamond, which was just showing off its might, was in a mess, while another frigate, even the armored steel plate, was overturned.
There was also a small gunboat worth more than 400 tons facing Zhiyuan. It was too late to avoid collision and rub the side of Zhiyuan. There were crunching screams everywhere on the sea surface, and the loud noise of iron armor being broken. All the armor on the side of the small gunboat was gently rubbed by the giant Zhiyuan, and the entire flesh was scraped off.
"This is...our...the warship..." The students were speechless, but within three seconds there was a lot of joy. "Long live! Will win!"
The fishermen who fled on the sea were also stupid. Even though they were short-sighted people who had never seen the world, they could still distinguish who was stronger and who was weak on the battlefield. The arrogant and unyielding warship that shocked them so much that they forgot to escape by swimming in the water.
"Long live the emperor! Kill these foreign devils..." The common people don't know what the prime minister is or the prime minister. In their simple consciousness, the one who can hang the dragon flag is the emperor's military ship.
Stefansky felt dizzy in front of him. At this moment, he realized that Molière's intelligence was not exaggerated at all, and the data in the intelligence was far less terrifying than the real data.
How thick armor is this? It was enough to let him pass by his whole body with ten thousand cannons. He was shot ten times but he didn't even explode the armor. Iron turtle!
The 210-caliber giant cannon is already very terrifying, but I didn't expect that this warship still has so many short-range attack weapons. After the firepower is fully activated, it is like an iron hedgehog suddenly exploded the sharp thorns on its body.
From the beginning, there were no so-called battleships in human history. At that time, people's design ideas for warships were considered as multi-purpose and versatile.
Battleships, as the name suggests, are a main battleship that meets the enemy in combat queues. This is a weapon system formed with the latest naval combat ideas.
To put it simply, the so-called battleships are marching on the sea surface with their numerical advantage, and intensively fired large-caliber artillery with extremely long large-caliber artillery, and used firepower, precision and intensive three elements to defeat the enemy.
The battleship relies on powerful main guns and heavy iron armor. The super protective power allows them to ignore most small-caliber weapons, and the huge main gun can hit children at a long distance.
Therefore, battleships generally do not pay much attention to short-range weapons, and people have never thought of letting these oceanic steel monsters fight bayonets at sea. Generally speaking, the battle has ended before the enemy cannons can be shot in a salvo.
Even if you are close, you are not afraid. Those small-caliber weapon systems can at most tickle the battleships.
However, it will take decades for battleships to truly rule the ocean, until the British monarchy laid the prototype of the steel battleship, and then to the dreadnought standardizing this ship shape, it will take at least thirty to forty years in the meantime.
The Zhiyuan at this moment is actually a representative work from the pre-dreadnought era.
The Zhiyuan not only has a powerful 210 main gun, but also has various small-caliber secondary guns. From the beginning, the long-range and short-range attack modes have been considered. From the beginning, Xiao Letian used the Zhiyuan as a versatile player.
It is precisely because of the Zhiyuan's long and close combat that there is such a violent tactic of bayonet fighting at sea. Xiao Letian knows that such close-fitting naval battles will definitely be less and less in the years to come, and one less violent scene can be seen in one violent scene.
Fighting bayonets at sea is always more shocking than boring long-range shooting. Moreover, such tactics have another important purpose, which is to allow Xiao Letian and Emperor Tongzhi to appear in front of the Russians.
The two ships intersected each other more than ten meters long. It is impossible for the Russians to see Xiao Letian and Emperor Tongzhi at such a close distance, their dazzling dragon robe, their crown, their handsome and despicable special prime minister uniform, and their flags flying at the top of the mast.
Everything proved to the Russians, ‘We are here, the two most powerful people in Asia are here!’
Captain Vinia's hat had long fallen to where it was. He looked at the bright yellow dragon robe like a fool. Even a fool could tell who that small figure was.
"It cannot be fake. The Chinese dare not let the substitute wear dragon robe! That is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty... My God, what did we do? What a hell of war..."
"Send a flag whisper! Tell the commander what happened here, we are in trouble! We can't continue, it will cause global political turmoil!"
Stefansky saw the flag utterance sent by the Diamond. He didn't say a word and he was petrified. The most incredible thing happened so incredible.
"Molière...you...what do you have any suggestions? Are we really going to kill an emperor today..."
Molière held his forehead with his hand and sighed in pain, "Why don't you listen to me? Why don't you listen to me? I've told you a long time ago that we can't beat this warship. Now there is another Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, so we have no chance of winning! Do you really dare to kill the king?"
"Split the troops immediately, the gecko's tail is the only choice. Our advantage is the large number, so that the Captain Vinian led the right-wing fleet to rush towards Taiwan. We go directly north and watch the Zhiyuan chase there..."
"Then let our supply ships and troop ships follow the safe side and quickly leave the battlefield... The fleet targeted by Zhiyuan immediately appeared in a dispersed formation, surrounding Zhiyuan from left to right, and engaged in chaos to make them lose sight of each other..."
"Time, what we need to fight for now is time... and we are trying to lose several warships. As long as our main force can break through, our grand strategy will not fail..."
"Now we must actively trade tactical failures in exchange for strategic victory, and use small losses in exchange for final big victory! Captain, don't hesitate..."
Stefansky closed his eyes in pain. As a general of the fighting nation, he was really unwilling to make such a choice, but is there any other choice now?
Just when he was struggling, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed drastically, and something even more strange happened!
