The " Felius " was getting closer and closer. He was about to save the " Felius ", but he didn't expect such an ending. He began to slow down slowly, not letting himself be surrounded, and waited for the other Dharmic Battleships to arrive.
At this moment, a huge object suddenly rushed out of the smoke on the river. It was the Fujian Navy's transport ship, Yongbao. As a transport ship, Yongbao was only equipped with a few one-inch cannons. It was no match for the French warships, and the French army did not notice it at all. However, as a transport ship, the Yongbao still had a displacement of more than 1,000 tons.
At this moment, the Everlasting Protection had already accelerated to its maximum speed, braving the wind and waves as it charged towards the slowly decelerating Fellas.
" Feller " was paying close attention to the three Chinese gunboats in front of him. He didn't notice the " Everlasting Protection " at all. It was only when the " Everlasting Protection " was about to approach that he was discovered.
"Left full helm, sink him!"
The commander's terrified voice sounded.
Facing the artillery fire, the Everlasting Protection was unafraid of death. It didn't dodge at all and rushed toward Feller. The shells fell on the ship and caused a thick fire, but no one went to put it out.
The Felius, which had just slowed down, had no way to dodge. With a loud bang, the Everlasting Protection hit the left side of the Felius.
"Plop! Plop!"
The French sailors scrambled to jump into the river. With a crisp cracking sound, the wooden hull of the Felius broke into two and began to sink. The Everlasting Protection couldn't leave either. It sank into the river with Desdan.
The Triumph had arrived. Its 4600-ton body, pure steel structure, and thick armor made all the other ships pale in comparison.
"Boom!"
The 240mm main cannon of the Triumph only needed to fire one shot to sink the Flying Cloud!
" This is a group of opponents worthy of respect! Let them surrender!“
Gu Ba said slowly. Today, the navy of China had shocked him. Whether it was the accuracy of the cannon or the will to fight, they were all at a very high level.
However, when he finished speaking, there was no response from the soldiers behind him. The three remaining Chinese gunboats that were originally very brave began to slowly retreat.
"General, look! Reinforcements! The Chinese navy is here!"
The observer in charge of the lookout shouted in fear.
Hearing this, Gu Ba turned around and raised the telescope in front of his chest to look behind him.
What he saw stunned him. A fleet much larger than them was flying towards them, and the dragon flag of the Qing Kingdom was hung on the warships of that fleet.
"Damn it! How did the news leak out? Impossible!“
He kept cursing. He did not believe that the Qing Navy would appear here. China had a coastline of 20,000 kilometers to defend. How could it be so coincidental?
However, facts spoke louder than words. When he saw the huge body of the Dingyuan, he felt a chill in his heart. Even the Elegance was no match for this giant.
"It's over! It was all over!“
He muttered in pain. He could already imagine the outcome.
Chen Ying's Kai Ji took the lead, followed by Chao Yong and Yang Wei.
Looking at the smoke rising from Mawei Military Harbor, they wished they could grow wings and fly into Mawei Military Harbor. The first batch of elites of the Chinese navy was there, and they were their seniors. Now, they were experiencing an unfair battle.
The arrival of the reinforcements greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers in Mawei Military Port. The three ships tightly guarded Mawei Shipyard to prevent the other party from acting out of desperation. They were no longer needed in the main battlefield. The outcome was obvious by looking at the weight.
"Surrender! It was impossible to win!“
Gu Ba sat down dejectedly. He would be the first navy commander to lose to the Chinese navy.
Both sides were about the same strength, and the French army had a greater chance of winning, but he chose to split up.
"Boom!“
However, the Qing army did not give him a chance to surrender. Ding Ruchang ordered the Dingyuan ship to sink the Wolda. The Dingyuan's 305mm Dual Cannon was still firing.
A cannonball accurately hit the Volda and exploded less than five meters away from Gupta. Gu Ba was pierced by countless shrapnel.
"Blossoming Bullet! Why was it so powerful? This smell! Did China also develop bitter acid?”
His life stopped at this moment.
