In addition to this pole mineship, which can only attack at close range, the wooden-hulled cruiser Fellers and the gunboat Wildcat have no intention of approaching at all, maintaining a distance of about 5 kilometers from Yanhuang, and constantly attacking Yanhuang with naval guns.

"Boom"

A shell from the 140mm rifled guns of the USS Fessler landed on the foredeck of the Yanhuang, and in the violent explosion, a large amount of black smoke rose into the air, and even the hull of the Yanhuang shook with it.

Ye Bai's face turned dark, and he held a telescope to check the damage to the foredeck through the porthole, but the thick black smoke blocked his vision, so that Ye Bai couldn't see the specific situation clearly.

While directly opening the system panel and entering the fleet section to check the loss of the armor value of the Yanhuang, he shouted without looking back: "Let the maintenance soldiers go to check the damage to the deck of the front "Six, Six, Seven." "

Before the maintenance staff rushed into the smoke with the damage management personnel, Ye Bai had already learned about the loss of the Yanhuang through the system panel, and only lost less than 100 points of armor value, which was completely worthless for the Yanhuang with an armor value of up to 6,000 points.

This is the gap in science and technology, although the Fellers wooden-hulled cruiser is equipped with 15 140mm diameter breech guns, which looks very powerful, but because of the huge gap in artillery technology and gunpowder level, it is far worse than the twin 127mm flat and dual-purpose guns equipped on the Yan Huang, and even the twin 102mm guns are not comparable.

Seeing such a loss, Ye Bai breathed a sigh of relief, closed the system panel, and continued to hold the telescope to observe the battle situation ahead, don't look at the two French warships that are constantly attacking the Yanhuang, but even the Ferrers, which has the largest tonnage and the strongest firepower, only caused this damage to the Yanhuang, and the smaller Wildcat gunboat is even less powerful.

Therefore, Ye Bai directly ignored these two French warships, and just asked Qi Sicheng to command the Yanhuang to avoid the large number of shells that kept flying, and at the same time ordered the torpedo soldiers to keep an eye on it, and choose the right time to launch a torpedo attack to sink the two pesky flies.

At this time, the Yanhuang concentrated all its firepower on the Dujushi Luin, and there was really no extra weapons to attack the Fellers and the Wildcat, so they could only use expensive torpedoes.

Dispersing firepower in this situation is undoubtedly a suicidal act, as the saying goes, "it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers", and sinking a French warship can also relieve the pressure on the Yanhuang and the Fujian Naval Division.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom"

The constant roar of artillery and the deafening explosion of shells resounded throughout the Mawei Military Port, and the warships belonging to the three forces were desperately firing more shells at the local warships in order to win the naval battle.

Not only was the battle lively at sea, but with the timely support of the Yanhuang, the Fujian naval division, which had suffered many damage to the battleships, finally relieved their strength and began to use the guns on the battleships to launch a counterattack against the French warships.

The officers and men of the other naval divisions and army soldiers in the Mawei Military Port were not idle, and even if there were no high-ranking officers, many officers and men spontaneously entered the coastal defense artillery positions and operated these coastal defense guns of different calibers to shoot at the French warships, and further supported the battle of the Fujian naval division with their limited firepower.

The commander of the French expeditionary fleet, Gu Ba, was already a little dumbfounded at this time, and his original plan was to use the advantage of the first hand to blockade the Mawei military port and attack the Fujian naval division.

This plan went quite smoothly at the beginning, but it was only a round of salvo fire, which not only sank two warships of the Fujian Navy Division, but also damaged many of them; more importantly, the warships of the Fujian Navy Division were in a berthing state, and they could not set fire in a short period of time, let alone effectively avoid the attack of the shells, so they could only stay in place and become live targets.

But to the surprise of Lone, a mysterious warship suddenly came outside the Mawei Military Port, and sank its most powerful Triumph as soon as it struck, forcing him to transfer three warships blocking the Mawei Military Port to contain the mysterious and powerful warship.

As a result, in the face of the attack of his own three warships, the opponent did not care about it at all, and easily sank one, preferring to withstand the artillery fire of the remaining two warships, but also to concentrate firepower on the Du Jushi Inlu iron-hulled cruiser.

With the experience of the Triumph, Du Jushi, who had a smaller tonnage and a worse level of protection, had to stop the attack on the Fujian Navy fleet in the face of the Yanhuang's concentrated fire attack by the Luwei wooden-hulled cruiser, and urgently began to turn course to avoid the Yanhuang's shells. 0

Now it's even better, even those shore defense guns on the shore have joined the battle, it was originally a sneak attack, and the French expeditionary fleet, which was in the upper hand, was instantly faced with a state of attack from three sides, and the situation was not good. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Boom"

Just when Gu Ba was frowning and thinking hard about how to break the situation, a deafening explosion sounded again on the sea in the distance, and he quickly looked up, it turned out that a pole mineboat that had been sent to attack the Fujian Navy Division's battleship at close range was sunk by the Fujian Navy Division's counterattack fire.

Not to mention the loss of the last pole mineboat, under the joint attack of the Fujian Navy Division battleships and shore defense guns, another wooden-hulled cruiser and gunboat were hit by multiple shells, and the wooden hull was already on fire, and thick black smoke drifted with the wind.

As the saying goes, "Fortune and misfortune do not go alone", when the Fujian naval division and the coastal defense artillery achieved results, the Yanhuang side once again had a new achievement, that is, the Wildcat gunboat, when turning the bow and adjusting the firing angle, was seized by the torpedo crew on the Yanhuang and directly fired a 533mm diameter torpedo.

The distance between the two sides was less than 5 kilometers, and the 533mm torpedo maintained a top speed of more than 40 knots almost the entire time, and before the French naval soldiers on the Wildcat could react, it hit the waterline position 2.6.

With a loud "boom" and a violent explosion, the battleship Wildcat, which had a displacement of only 500 tons, was directly blown into a large fireball, and the armor value of less than 1,000 points was instantly emptied, and the entire battleship was torn apart and quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.

The tragic encounter of the Wildcat also frightened the French naval officers and sailors on the Ferres, and almost subconsciously began to slowly retreat, wanting to distance themselves from the Yanhuang, after all, this invisible attack was so weird that they didn't know how it was sunk and how not to be afraid.

"Boom", "Boom"

Coincidentally, the Yanhuang almost broke out in this round of attack, not only successfully sinking the Wildcat gunboat with torpedoes, but also successfully hitting the Dujushi Inlu iron-hulled cruiser in a new salvo of three main guns.
