By this time, the two iron armored ships had actually suffered more than a dozen 120mm shells, most of which were bounced off by armor, but the upper deck was also hit by a few strokes, and the broken wooden boards scratched Ding Ruchang. The stubborn Admiral came up with only a few wounds, and he still stood up!

This kind of courage and perseverance is that no matter how unsatisfied with him, he really can't raise any other thoughts. The Lord will use his life, what else can others say?

"boom---!"

A 240mm shell hit the starboard side of the Dingyuan, and the 365mm thick iron armored fort was shocked. The consequences of the old hull's improper maintenance for many years finally appeared! A horizontal rib inside cracked and a crack could be clearly seen on the surface of the hull!

Ding Ruchang exclaimed, it was not because of fear, but because of heartache! They could not upgrade and repair this big ship by themselves. I don’t know how much trouble it would cause such damage.

Liu Buchan twitched hard, his arm holding the sword tightly shivered suddenly, and gritted his teeth and shouted: "Aim! Be sure to aim before firing! Never be ahead of time, remember, every gun is extremely critical, our warship can withstand it!"

His voice was transmitted loudly to every cannon position through the copper tube, and the nervous officers and sailors who were sweating all over the body relaxed slightly.

The first mate of the guns and cannons Shen Shoukun aimed repeatedly from the cannon, and waved his hand and fired fiercely at the moment when the bow of the ship was completely stable!

The heavy cannon body was pushed by the recoil and then pulled away. A thick smoke blew away from outside and rushed in. The deafening roar made him and everyone's ears unable to hear anything. But none of them could care about covering it. They all stretched their necks and looked at the sea in the distance.

A ball of blazing flames suddenly shone, illuminating the enemy ship below and hitting it!

All the crew members of the artillery cheered and helped the cannon reset with all their might, lift ammunition forward, and prepare for loading. Immediately afterwards, another door also started.

The "Hequan" ironclad ship, the double-equipped secondary gun on the left front, was shattered by the 305mm shell!

The boiling fireworks and the explosive air waves that hit the face made Ito Yukihiro in the commander's tower think he was going to be finished!

The terrible giant cannon, the terrible explosive power, is this the heavy steel guy in their intelligence?

He didn't bother to think too much, because another shell exploded in the water next to the hull, and the fragments splashed up, cutting off one of the foremast cables. The bang and bang collision sounded terrifying!

Immediately afterwards, the "Zhenyuan Ship" on the right was slightly far away, and three consecutive shells were shot. The two big and one small, all fell into the water nearest.

One of the 305mm high-explosive bombs was close to the waterline and exploded. The fragments and water pressure hit the waterline armor hard, causing obvious damage. The shock caused the rivets inside to break and fly, killing several people.

Both sides were nervously filling shells, but the speed of only one shot in two or three minutes was really unfavorable. One minute later, Dingyuan and Hequan almost came face to face! The horizontal distance between the two sides was only 500 meters. With the help of flashes, and even the two captains and commanders, they could see who their opponent was!

They hedge too fast!

The "Dingyuan" and other ships were between 11.5 and 12 kilometers, and the Japanese ships were also raised to more than 12 kilometers. When their main guns were loaded, they had to pass by. The previous artillery bombardment did not achieve the effect they needed. Both the Japanese and Liu Buchan and Ding Ruchang were anxious to catch fire!

The two ships are like fast horses and hedging quickly, which is simply a waste of life! The distance between 500 meters seems very wide. In fact, at sea, hedging at nearly 25 knots, that is, the trembling of the helm may lead to a dangerous distance of crashes!

Two minutes! Both sides had not loaded the shells, but the hull was about to miss it. After waiting for a long time, the 240mm main gun behind the "Hequan" finally seized the opportunity and fired it fiercely!

This is a grenade fired with black fire-drug, hitting the exposed turret of the main turret straight from the right side of the "Dingyuan Ship"! The 305mm thick armor resisted the impact, but the impact caused by the explosion caused the two newly loaded main guns to be fired immediately!

Only an inch thick cannon cover was easily cracked by fragments, causing the three sailors inside to be injured.

But the biggest damage is to the flying bridge above!

Such a fierce impact force exploded the bottom of the fly bridge from bottom to top, and a piece of fragments broke one of Ding Ruchang's personal soldiers in the waist! Several other pieces of shattered steel cut two deep bloody holes on him. He was almost overturned by the air waves, and was rushed forward by another personal soldiers and lifted them into the commander's tower with all his strength!

The stubborn Ding Ruchang finally fell under the enemy's artillery fire and did not die on the spot. It was a blessing!

At the same time, a double-equipped 120mm turret of the Hequan, plus small cannons of various calibers such as 57, 47, 37mm, fired wildly here! Their fire rate was extremely high and the shells were dense. In one minute, they hit more than 30 shots on the Dingyuan!

The 75mm sampan cannon of the "Dingyuan" and the three caliber machine guns and rapid-fire cannons also fired and fired back without hesitation. The upper deck buildings of the two warships were immediately submerged in the chaotic shells. Large pieces of wooden boards, crushed steel, and warheads flew everywhere, splashing on all sides!

A few seconds after being shot, the "Dingyuan" also used a 150mm tail cannon to give the opponent a fierce blow!

At such a distance, the stable posture between each other was like two boxers fighting each other. The two 120mm rapid-fire cannons of the Japanese ship had a clear advantage, but they were unable to do with the other party's heavy armor. Even though they had a brilliant ceiling, they had no fatal injuries at all!

At this time, the "Zhenyuan Ship" on the other side also opened fire! Another 305mm grenade hit the back of the side and penetrated diagonally against the gangway ladder! The short armored castle of the pit revealed its shortcomings at this moment, and the only weak structure in the area was penetrated. The subsequent explosion successfully uprooted a double-equipped secondary cannon!

Not only that, the violent impact to tear apart the plug-in lifeboat, and almost even the main gun at the rear was affected. The subsequent ammunition raid exploded, and simply tore a hideous hole in the hull! The rolling smoke and fire were like a third chimney, blocking the view behind!

Now, both sides suffered a defeat.

Yuyuki Ito's lips trembled slightly, but he still stood up firmly, shouting to the worried staff members beside him: "Don't worry, the enemy ship will bump into our Sanjing Ship before he can turn around!"

Everyone was lucky in their foreheads, believing that under such a distance and impact, the other party would inevitably be unable to escape the terrible 320mm main gun bombardment, Captain Shimamura Shoo was so disappointed: "Everyone, don't forget that the Matsushima is following us closely!"

"ah?!"

Now even Yuyuki Ito was a little stunned!

Although the "Songdao" is also one of the three scenic ships, this guy's main gun is facing backwards! The only thing it can attack targets in front is the 12 120mm Armstrong rapid-fire cannons. This thing cannot be seriously injured at all for the heavy armored Dingzhen Second Ship.

Yuki Ito's expression became serious again!

The rear is not only "Matsushima", but also a lightweight "Chionida" separated by! None of these two ships can withstand the other party's main gun at such a close distance!

The worst thing is that the opponent's shells have become high-explosive grenades, and no one knows how much damage the damage will be!

In trouble.

When Yuki Ito thought of the firm Yizi column, he was attacked and fired by the opponent on both sides, using heavy armor to fight against bayonets. No matter how good the final result was, both sides would be injured!

This is completely different from the demands they initially demanded. If this continues, everyone will be over.

But it’s useless to be anxious. It takes time to speed up the warships, and they also need time to avoid them by maneuvering. Could it be that they have to fight head-on with the big guy on the other side?

Hum? Head-on fight?

Yuki Ito's eyes lit up and he hurriedly ordered: "After getting in the wrong way with the iron armored ship in front, turn left and rush forward to the enemy's formation. Be sure to injure its weak ships and destroy their vertical formation!"

Mobility depends on the mobility of the warship. In this regard, his own warship still has advantages... He immediately remembered that in order to resist the heavy 320mm cannon, he got the top-heavy three-scenery ship with weak armor. It was really a headache!

The fighter's opportunity was fleeting, but hesitated at all.

The "Hequan" raised the flag to follow the flagship's formation in a storm-like attack, and fired a light to the warships behind. After hitting the opponent with a shot, he immediately turned to cross-cut and intercepted the warships behind him.
