Six battleships are fighting against one Zhiyuan, and the tonnage of each of these six battleships exceeds that of Zhiyuan. If such a strength comparison cannot be won, then even if they return to their country, they will probably have to be hanged in the military court!

For the French, failure is never allowed in this battle, because the result of failure is definitely death, either on the battlefield or on the execution ground of the Emperor!

But the Zhiyuan's skin is too thick, and the four and a half inches of iron armor cannot be penetrated by these 140 and 150 caliber artillery!

All the shelling seemed to be tickling the Zhiyuan. Although it caused a large number of casualties among the Chinese sailors and damage to some components of the ship, there was no problem with the main structure. Zhiyuan was like a capable knight wearing medieval plate armor, allowing the enemy to fire arrows at once, and I remained unmoved!

However, those French warships were like watermelons with thin skin and big stuffing. Basically, every time the Zhiyuan hit a successful hit, they could tear open bloody wounds from their fragile armor.

The firepower is not as powerful as the Zhiyuan, and the armor is not as heavy as the Zhiyuan. What advantages do these warships have left?

Perhaps those proud French navy will say that our warships have strong endurance! We can cross the Atlantic Ocean without supply ships! Our warships are cheap!

These were really some consensus in the European naval theoretical community at that time, and it was these messy ideas that caused the chaotic era of the hundreds of ghosts walking in the night!

In Xiao Letian's eyes, these ideas are nothing! The only purpose of the battleship is to defeat the opponent, and to crush the enemy on the ocean!

Winning battles is the only purpose, and fighting is the only fate of the battleship!

What are the cruising distances you want? What are the cost and cost you want? Just win a game is not a problem!

The cruise distance is short? I don’t use him as a cruiser. My warship is for a decisive battle at sea!

Say my warship is too expensive and not economical? My warship is cheap, but if you lose the war, you have to pay compensation for the war!

No matter how expensive the warship I am, as long as I can defeat you, all the costs and profits can be dug out blood and flesh from you to fill it!

This is the fate of the battleship, this is the true meaning of naval battle!

It’s not that cruisers are useless, nor that it’s not that good quality and low price are not good, but you must first ensure the winning principle!

You must have the confidence to win the decisive battle with the enemy's main force on the high seas, and then you can develop light cruisers to cruis the ocean. This is the most correct way!

Xiao Letian's paranoia was finally rewarded. All those who opposed him shut their mouths after the end of this naval battle. This legendary naval battle that made the world dazzling and enchanted, suddenly shattered the era of the hundreds of ghosts walking at night, and suddenly pulled the global navy to the era of large ships and giant cannons.

After the war, Xiang Ying once said excitedly, "What is the driving force for victory in the war? It is not a well-trained army or a strong country's strong industrial strength. These factors are very important, but they cannot be ranked first!"

"The first is thought! Only thought crushes your opponent, and only thoughts lead this era can create miracles!"

"The battle between the Zhiyuan and the French Joint Fleet is actually a confrontation between two naval ideas! The French pointed out the wrong technology, and our Chinese navy began to officially rise from now on!"

The rumbling sound suddenly sounded muffled thunder in the sky, and the storm that had been holding back for the middle of the night finally came!

Xiang Ying looked at the strange behavior of the Banshee like a sculpture. When he saw that the Banshee, the closest to him, began to leave the formation, he understood what the other party wanted to do!

"Haha, firepower and protection are no match for me anymore. Do you want to rely on the most primitive impact now? Sorry, you don't have a chance!"

"Stay speed! Channel! Continue shelling! Be prepared to pierce the enemy's formation!"

"Want to hit me? Let's see if you have the strength to rush into me!"

The 210-caliber cannon on the front of the ship began to rotate slowly, and the black hole was aimed at the banshee who was turning!

Hoff's order was completely life-threatening. The French warships themselves used the T-shaped formation, and all warships were port-side artillery to respond to the enemy. If they wanted to hit the Zhiyuan in such a warship, they had to turn around 90 degrees first.

It is not that easy for a huge warship to turn around, not to mention that the wind and waves brought about by the storm tonight are too big, and the waves are now more than two meters high!

The waves of more than one person hit the Banshee, making his pace extremely difficult!

On the other hand, because the Zhiyuan side has always been moving forward with the wind and is a straight channel from beginning to end, the shooting accuracy is much higher than that of French warships.

When the main gun spitted flames at the Banshee, the distance between the two warships was less than four hundred meters!

With such a short distance, Lin Zhen and the others didn't have to consider the accuracy at all. The 210-caliber cannon is powerful and has a very fast initial speed, so they basically don't have to consider the issue of ballistics.

It’s just four hundred meters, and it can be easily solved by just looking straight shots!

With two dull sounds of cannons, the high-speed rotating shells cut open the rain curtain and shot directly at the Banshee, and these two cannons were really fatal.

The first magic hit the first gun at the position of the ship's first gun, and the entire Banshee's bow was opened with a big hole, directly exposing the cabin below to the storm.

Another shell hit the cockpit of the Banshee. With a loud bang, the cockpit armor was not broken, but all the glass was shattered!

The broken glass and the shrapnel shot into the cockpit were shot. The captain, helmsman, first mate, and second mate were shot into eleven warship officials by heavy rain shrapnel!

With just these two cannons, the Banshee completely lost her brain and turned into a living coffin at sea without anyone's command!

Four hundred meters, three hundred meters, and two hundred meters Zhiyuan was getting closer and closer to the French fleet. Hoff looked at Zhiyuan in horror, like a noble plate-armored knight, rushing towards them fearlessly!

All his attacks seemed to be tickling, and all the counterattacks of this knight were so sharp!

Although the Banshee was still moving forward, he lost the control of the helmsman. It was obvious that he had begun to deviate from the channel. He actually watched the Zhiyuan rush to the distance of twenty meters on his port side, but there was no sign of impact.

At this time, the Banshee had already emerged from the formation for 150 meters. He was unable to resist the desperate attack of the Zhiyuan!

When the two ships intersected, the head of the Zhiyuan ship, two 210 giant cannons, and one of the heads of the ship, turned the muzzle towards him at the same time, and the black-hole cannon aimed at the dying banshee!
