Chapter 459: The Heart of the Warrior! (Part 1)

The impact tactics of the Qing front-line fleet were the first move in today's naval battles. Unexpectedly, the English fleet fell into chaos. The long snake formation was divided into two by the Qing front-line fleet, and the head and tail could not be looked at each other. However, the English fleet was the strongest naval fleet today, and its combat experience was far beyond the infancy Qing fleet. In just a moment, Admiral Nadal judged the combat intention of the Qing fleet. Although he was a little scared of the Qing army's tactics, he did not feel panic.

Admiral Nadal thought for a moment and immediately answered a series of combat orders: "The order: The Saber raised the flag of the commander and replaced the ship as the fleet flagship. The rear-line fleet was commanded by Kassel; Major General Flynn was commanded by the Qing Dynasty, and must hold the Qing Dynasty's rear-line fleet and must not let it rush into the mid-line battlefield; the front-line ships were commanded by the "Celtic" captain Sean; Major General Connery was commanded by the enemy as soon as possible to defeat the enemy's intercepting fleet as soon as possible and approach our ship; the Mayflower entangled the enemy's ships No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4, and must persist in our front-line fleet returning to the rescue; all the officers and soldiers of this ship were ready to take the boarding battle immediately!"

The oldest naval battle method, of course, is also the cruelest naval battle method. It refers to the naval battle method of using one's own ship's side to approach the enemy's side and the soldiers jump to gangs to fight. This tactic has gradually been eliminated since the battle line tactics were formed and is no longer the main naval battle mode. However, such tactics are often staged in large-scale naval battles. The battle method is the most test of courage for naval soldiers. The winner is the life of the winner and the loser dies.

At this moment, the naval battle in the Black Island waters had been fighting for nearly an hour. Both sides bite very tightly, each with casualties, but neither retreated. After receiving the order from Admiral Nadal, the English rear-line fleet immediately gathered together and faced the Qing rear-line fleet that was accelerating towards the central battlefield. The two sides no longer had any battle lines. All ships were mixed together, with full firepower and shelling each other, and fell into a tug-of-war. The English front-line fleet continued to fight against the large-scale blocking lines that formed the blocking line.

The Qing front-line fleet launched an assault. Trying to break through the blocking of the Qing front-line fleet and the flagship converge, the Qing front-line fleet opened fire desperately, firing and then firing, constantly repelling the British army's crazy attacks with fierce artillery fire. At this time, the British front-line fleet was unable to fire and counterattack due to heading issues, and several consecutive charges were defeated by the Qing fleet. Not only did they fail to cross the blocking line, but they lost two second-level battleships and one third-level battleship. However, the English front-line fleet never gave up their efforts to attack.

On the central battlefield, the "Dannie" of the English fleet had been sent into the depths of the ocean by the fierce artillery fire of the three ships of "Wining", "Magic" and "Magic" and "Magic" and "Magic" and "Magic" and "Magic" and the remaining "Magic Flower" were surrounded by three ships of Viagra. It was a matter of time before the war was sunk. It was just to see if it could persist until the arrival of the English front fleet. After the "British" and "Viron", the distance between the two sides had been closer to less than 30 meters. At this moment, neither side opened fire again, but most officers and soldiers of the entire ship gathered on the deck, silently staring at the opponent's ships that were constantly approaching.

Admiral Nadal stood on a small platform under the main mast, his face cold. He took off his military cap, revealed his white hair, pointed at the "Veoron" that was approaching quickly, and said loudly: "The warriors of Great England, the sea belongs to England. Wherever there is an ocean, it is the paradise of my Great England Fleet. For Her Majesty and for the pride of the English Navy. Take out your courage and let the yellow monkeys know what the real navy is!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The English naval officers and soldiers arranged neatly on the deck immediately shouted wildly, all of whom looked ferocious and murderous. They wished they could jump over the distance of more than 20 meters, rushed to the deck of the "Weilong" in one breath, and cut all the Qing officers and soldiers.

On the "Weilong", Qiao Hailong stood at the forefront of the deck. He looked calmly at the "Britain" not far away. He said without looking back: "Brothers, don't forget the oath you made. This is our moment. For the sake of the emperor and the Qing Dynasty, we will fight to the death without retreating!"

"Fight to death and never retreat! Fight to death and never retreat!" The Qing officers and soldiers on the deck of the "Weilong" made an angry roar, and the rumbling cannons around could not suppress the roars made by the Qing naval officers and soldiers from the bottom of their hearts.

We are getting closer and closer. Twenty meters, fifteen meters, ten meters, and ten meters, the distance between the Veyron and Great Britain was gradually narrowing. The officers and soldiers on both sides held machetes and rifles stared at each other, but there was no sound. No one even fired first, just stared at each other, their eyes collided with fierce sparks, and the time for whom they lived and died was finally revealed.

"Rise the gun and shoot!" Qiao Hailong, standing on the deck, took the lead in firing order without hesitation. More than 200 naval officers and soldiers equipped with needles and fired guns immediately raised the bayonet rifle in their hands, and there was no need to aim at it. They shot over a series of guns and swept down a large area of ​​English soldiers on the Great Britain. At the same time, Admiral Nadal on the Great Britain ordered loudly: "Rose the rope hook and set the springboard!" More than a dozen brave English sailors threw the rope hook in their hands, and hung it on them in a fierce rain of bullets from the Qing army.

On the side of the ship of the Weilong, two huge warships quickly collided together. The soldiers on both sides immediately flocked across the ship and rushed towards each other. The hull of the Wei-square font of the Qing Dynasty was taller than the "Britain". The Qing officers and soldiers killed each other in a condescending manner, but the figures of the English soldiers were generally higher than those of the Qing officers and soldiers. Although they attacked from the bottom, they did not suffer a great loss. The two sides launched a desperate battle near the side of the ship. The soldiers who were killed screamed and fell into the gap between the two ships. There was only one word to describe this bloody battle, which was tragic!

Commander of the English Front Fleet; Major General Connery is an old man in his fifties. He has experienced countless naval battles of all sizes and sizes. He is the only major general in the English Navy who has been from a civilian. He has been serving as a sailor and has been promoted to captain. Since joining the English Navy at the age of sixteen, he has served for nearly forty years. His combat experience is also among the top figures in the English Navy. If it weren't for his poor background, he would have been a general. At this moment, Major General Connery stood on the front deck of the first-class battleship of the Celtics with a cold expression. He checked the situation on the central battlefield with a monocular telescope. His originally blue face suddenly became a little dim.

Not good, very bad! Once the Mayflower battle sank, the Great Britain could not stop the siege of the four Qing giant ships. Once the central war sank, the Qing fleet that was freed up would inevitably strike the first thing that had been hit hard by the England front-line fleet. Major General Connery could not believe that his men had already been scarred and had low morale could stop the sweeping of the five Qing giant ships. Once the front-line fleet was destroyed, the possibility of the England rear-line fleet, which was entangled with the Qing rear-line fleet, would be slim.

No, never! The Greater England Navy is proud of it, and must not bow its head! Major General Connery clenched his fists angrily and issued a loud command to fight: "Transfer: All third-level battleships, cruisers stepped forward and continued to attack, and the rest of the battleships followed the ships to cut in from the upper wind to prepare for the battle. No matter what, they had to break through the interception of the yellow monkey, and rush over to win!" With Major General Connery's order, the English front fleet, which was in chaos, immediately stabilized, and the troops were divided into two groups: one was a squadron composed of four remaining third-level battleships and four cruisers, arranged in a single formation. The Qing front fleet was at an angle of ninety degrees.

The attack line rushed forward, ignoring the fierce artillery fire of the Qing fleet, and did not fire, but simply moving forward.   Further forward, the "Qining" which acted as a vanguard was blasted into a torch before it reached 80 meters away from the Qing fleet. It swayed on the sea for several turns and sank into the sea bottom, but the "Liege" that followed closely followed took the opportunity to kill and continued to rush towards the Qing fleet. Of course.   The "Liege" couldn't go far, and under the blast of the Qing army, it became a ghost at the bottom of the sea. However, the remaining English warships were not scared away by the Qing army's artillery fire as they did in the previous few times, and they continued to rush forward.

Just as the attention of the Qing front-line fleet was attracted by the English suicide fleet, it had already rushed to the upper wind. The main force of the English front-line fleet lined up in a row followed the wind and rushed towards the Qing army array at a thirty-degree angle like a wild horse that broke away from reins.

"Haha.  It's great! It's great! It's so good!" Major General Liu Ninghai, the commander of the Qing front-line fleet, stood at the bow of the "Magic".   When the small boats in England risked their lives to charge were beaten into torches by the Qing artillery, he burst into laughter.   It's a pity that his pride didn't last long, and was interrupted by the screams of the lookout whistle: "Mr. Liu, look, the fleet of red-haired ghosts rushed over from the upper vent."

"Oh, mom, damn!" Liu Ninghai then realized the true intention of England sending a suicide fleet to die. At this moment, the main force of the English front-line fleet had rushed to less than 300 meters away from the Qing front-line fleet. The Qing Fleet was still busy eliminating the remaining remnants of the English suicide fleet at this time, and there was no time to adjust the formation, and there was not even much time to adjust the angle of the artillery.

"Message: All ships do not have to care about the small English boats rushing in straight lines. Pay attention to the wind and prepare for the battle!" Liu Ninghai hurriedly issued a combat order when the situation was wrong. Although this order was timely, it can only be said to be a wrong order. Although the English fleet in the straight line was sunk, the rest were all high-speed cruisers. Although these four cruisers were not strong in firepower, they were very fast, compared to the three third-level battles that had already sunk.

The ships were much faster. Just as the Qing front-line fleet was busy preparing to face the main force of the English front-line fleet, the four English cruisers took the opportunity to rush through the attack line of the Qing front-line fleet, entered the central battlefield, and joined the "May Flower". Although the English fleet was still at a disadvantage in the central battlefield facing the attack of the three Wei-shaped ships of the Qing Dynasty, they at least stabilized the situation of about to collapse, adding endless variables to this large-scale naval battle.

The main force of the English front-line fleet charged very quickly. In a blink of an eye, he followed the wind and reached the upper wind less than two hundred meters away from the Qing fleet. At this time, the Qing fleet had just turned the gun and before he could aim, he was bombarded by the English fleet that had been prepared. Not to mention the heavy casualties, many warships even caught fire. Before the Qing army could react, the main force of the English front-line fleet, which was driving at high speed, suddenly divided into two columns. One of the English columns led by one of the first-class battleships continued to advance, and continued to bombard the Qing fleet along the way. The other English column, composed of all the second-class battleships, braved the artillery fire of the Qing army's counterattack, leaned towards the Qing fleet. The deck of the ship was full of English naval officers and soldiers preparing to fight on the sidelines.

"Hurry, change the flower bullet! Blow me up!" Liu Ninghai was not stupid. He could see through the intention of the English fleet at a glance. The English column that was bombing with the Qing fleet was just a cover. The seven or eight warships that were approaching at high speed were the real killers. Once the battle started, he could not take care of the remaining Qing front-line fleets, and could only watch the English cover fleet swaying into the central battlefield. In this way, the situation that was originally beneficial to the Qing fleet would be reversed unstoppable. If so, even if the Qing fleet was not defeated, it would be inevitable that it would be severely damaged.
