Although there were more than a dozen Japanese warships that hit the Zhenyuan ship, the Zhenyuan ship with a displacement of more than 7600 tons was known for its armor protection.
Back then, in the Yellow Sea Sea (also known as the Great East Gully Sea Battle), the Zhenyuan Ship was besieged by the Japanese warships. Although it was heavily damaged, it still managed to retreat unscathed.
Moreover, after the system modification, the armor's defensive power had increased by 150%. As long as it did not hit the weak parts below the waterline or the ammunition bay, there was basically no possibility of sinking.
Yang Yonglin was prepared to take advantage of the victory and charge into the enemy fleet to kill.
However, at this moment, a roar suddenly came from the antler mouth cannon on the south coast.
Compared to the heroic navy in the Jiawu War, the performance of the Qing army could only be described as terrible.
After the Japanese army landed at Rongcheng Bay, they quickly occupied all the forts along Weihai. The Luantu mouth fort on the south bank was one of them.
Seeing that the alliance fleet was injured, the Japanese soldiers stationed at the south bank quickly opened fire to support them.
At the same time, the Japanese ironclads Hashirashi, Yandao, Nengsu, and Akijinshu lined up in a straight line and bombarded the ship.
In order to avoid being attacked from both sides, Yang Yonglin ordered the Faraway Warship to retreat!
"Chase after them and avenge Yoshino and Matsushima!”Dong Xiang, the captain of Wave Speed, waved his saber and roared with a murderous aura.
"Mitsui-kun, the Qing Kingdom's warship is slow. We must catch up with it and destroy it!”Dongxiang ordered the first mate to give full chase.
What he did not expect was that the ship sailed into the mouth of Liugong Island.
As soon as they entered the mouth of the sea, the Nanzui Fort and the Donghong Fort on the south bank of Liugong Island roared in unison, and the shells poured down like a mountain torrent. The Japanese warships did not dare to rashly enter the narrow mouth of the sea, and after firing a few shots, they retreated in panic.
" The enemy ships have retreated, retreated-"
The Northern Artillery on Liugong Island had tears in their eyes as they raised their arms and shouted.
When the Zhenyuan warship docked at the dock, more than 1,000 Northern Navy officers on Liugong Island rushed over and shouted Yang Yonglin's name.
A lone army on an isolated island, with no reinforcements!
In a desperate situation, Yang Yonglin, the left wing commander of the Beiyang Navy, stepped forward and fought against the Japanese Alliance Fleet with the courage of a warrior who would never return.
Sinking the Songdao, the flagship of the Combined Fleet, and the Yoshino, the flagship of the Combined Fleet's first guerrilla force, brought hope to the Beiyang officers and soldiers who were in a desperate situation!
"Soldiers, our army has sunk the Japanese warships Songdao and Yoshino. Victory is in sight! As long as we hold on for a few days, the reinforcements from the Imperial Court will definitely be able to break out of the siege.”
Yang Yonglin stood on the bridge and encouraged everyone before entering the command module.
Although they had sunk two Japanese warships, the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet was still there, and the cannons along Weihai were still in the hands of the Japanese Army.
The situation was still grim and they could not relax!
Yang Yonglin calmed himself down as soon as possible and thought about his next step.
Ding!
The system notification interrupted Yang Yonglin's thoughts.
"Congratulations to the host for sinking the Songdao warship. You have received 2000 attribute points and a 10 times lucky draw ticket!”
Attribute points could be used to modify weapons and improve their performance. Yang Yonglin had previously used 1000 attribute points to repair and modify the Zhenyuan warship. These 2000 attribute points could be used to modify Jiyuan, Pingyuan, and other warships.
However, Yang Yonglin did not use it for the time being. He decided to draw the reward first!
Pressing the click button, a building in the northeast corner of Liugong Island rose from the ground like a miracle.
" Congratulations to the host for drawing a small warehouse. There are 50 tons of rice, 5 tons of dried meat, and 2 tons of fruits and vegetables inside." The prize drawn from the 10 times lucky draw was increased by 10 times.
With this small warehouse, the 2,000 Northern Navy soldiers stationed on Liugong Island could be resupplied.
Yang Yonglin immediately gathered all his soldiers at the northeast corner of Liugong Island.
"Military Gate, why is there a warehouse here?”
The soldiers discussed animatedly, not knowing what was going on.
Crash!
Yang Yonglin took out the key and opened the heavy door.
When the mountains of grain, dried meat, and fruits and vegetables appeared in front of them, the soldiers of the Northern Navy were so excited that they could not control themselves. Ever since the Dongyang Army occupied the coastal counties, the Northern Navy's supply was cut off and they had to resupply.
He only had two taels of brown rice a day!
"Army, where did these supplies come from?”Sa Zhenbing, Cheng Biguang, and the other officers asked in confusion.
"Oh, this is the warehouse that Ding Junmen set up earlier. I forgot to tell you.”Yang Yonglin could only make up an excuse and order.
"Sa Zhenbing, Cheng Biguang!"
"Mark it!"
Hearing Yang Yonglin's name, the two generals quickly stood up and replied.
"The two of you, distribute the dried meat and food to the soldiers. Remember, each person must have at least half a catty of dried meat, no shortage!”
"Thank you, Military Gate!"
The soldiers cheered.
Not long after, the soldiers set up a big pot and started cooking.
The rice grains were boiling in the hot water. The dried meat was cut into small pieces and cooked together with the rice. The fragrance filled the air, making the officers and soldiers hungry.
Roll!
Ma Jiffen, the vice-captain of the Tranquil Warship and an American who was recovering from his injuries, could not help but swallow his saliva. He greedily took a deep breath and said,""It smells so good. I haven't eaten meat in a long time.”
"Don't worry! After we sink the Japanese fleet, I'll treat you to hot pot.”Sa Zhenbing patted Ma Jifen's shoulder and laughed.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Their gazes fell on the dried meat again.
This fragrance was really tempting.
