Chapter 437: Jiubeng Xuanrui has such firm confidence in Mugu, who is far away on Jeju Island, only one reason is...

The "Chitsui" flagship of Xuanrui was the first to be hit.

Although his course still maintained a 45-degree angle with the North Korean fast vanguard fleet, although there was at least a straight line distance of more than 4,000 yards between his "Chitsui" and this North Korean fast ferry. However, the soaring pillars formed by the series of artillery fires brought by the North Korean fast ferry not only immediately wrapped his "Chitsui" tightly in it, but soon there were two shells that exploded on the fore deck of his "Chitsui".

Suddenly, the head of the "Chilesai" was flooded with thick smoke and fire.

Although the trauma caused by these two shells to the "Chileiu", the arrival of shells flying in the sky after the explosion caused the gunners on the front deck of the "Chileiu" who had been growing rapidly to fall down a large area.

The Qiansui, who was a master of Xuanrui, was a second-class battleship made by the British Empire. Its displacement is more than 2,200 tons, a total length of 70 meters, a draft of about 6 meters, and a large area of ​​60 pounds on the deck of the three-layer gun was equipped with 60 pounds, 30 pounds, 18 pounds and nine-pound guns, a total of 94 mén, with more than 800 crew members and a three-mass sail warship with a speed of nearly ten knots.

The "gift" given to him by the North Korean fast fleet, although he had to make an emergency save, losing dozens of artillery and sailors, but it could not stop him from continuing to go to the battlefield.

First, he was frightened by the two huge explosions on his flagship and sweated. Soon after, Jiu Bian Xuanrui calmed down, almost subconsciously turned his head behind him following the violent explosion.

It was a lucky thing to follow him closely. This British third-class battleship, which was also a three-masted sail and a three-layer gun deck, was covered again and again by the sea water curtains formed by the shells that kept blowing around its hull, as if they were to swallow it alive. However, it could always struggle unyieldingly from the fierce water curtain again and again.

However, the "Caojimaru" in the future will not have the luck of "Haobabumaru".

Through the thick sea water curtain walls formed by the explosion of shells falling into the sea, Jiubeng Xuanrui could clearly see the black smoke and shining fire on the "Caojiwan".

At least six or seven "condolences" shells from the North Korean Express Fleet were received on the "Caojiwan" on the two-story gun deck. One of the two tall masts had also been cut in half. What's more serious is that one of the "condolences bombs" of the North Korean Express Fleet landed on the command platform located at the stern of the "Caojiwan". The captain and several commanders died immediately.

But later, there was a more unfortunate scene in the place where Jiu Bian Xuan Rui could not see for a while.

When the North Korean forward's rapid fleet came like a sudden wind, he dragged his injured body after being hit by the friendly ship "Xingaomama", and the extremely unfriendly of other friendly ships, he could not squeeze into the column that Commander Jiulong Xuan Rui hoped to achieve. He could only be on the outermost side of the "snake belly" position of the fleet's snake-shaped battle formation. He was the main combat ship of Jiulong Xuan Rui's fleet, and in the first round of bombardment by the Korean rapid fleet, the middle waist of the lower gun deck was hit.

The North Korean shells that ruthlessly broke into the bottom cabin not only made a huge explosion, but also caused a chain explosion of its own bombs in the bottom cabin.

The scarred "Yinyuwan" was immediately blown into two pieces in the rumbling explosion, and instantly sank to the bottom of the sea. Only some broken wood remained, and the sailors who were wailing desperately in the sea water.

Seeing that North Korea's vanguard rapid fleet had begun to mess up itself, and as North Korea's subsequent main fleet was approaching step by step, Jiu Bian Xuan Rui knew that even if he had the talent of heaven now, he could not have any clever tactics.

Jiu Bian Xuan Rui also clearly realized that the battlefield where artillery fire was raging, which was only less than twenty nautical miles away from his destination Jeju Island. What Jiu Bian Xuan Rui did not forget at this moment was that there was a powerful maritime force within the harbor of Jeju Island, and a Mu Gu formation with thirty large battleships.

As the main force of the Japanese North Korean Navy fleet, in the third team of Jiubeng Xuanrui, he had a total of more than 60 large-scale warships. Due to the lack of war on the eastern front and the extremely special and important strategic position of Jeju Island, he always placed most of the forces of his entire team in Jeju Island, rather than the Lishui Port when he came.

Now, Jiu Bian Xuanrui, who is in adversity, suddenly had a bold idea:

No matter how dangerous the situation is, we must resolutely deal with these North Koreans.

Because he believed that as long as he could persist in two or three, he would tangle the damn Koreans in front of him, even if no one would inform him, the Mugu formation on Jeju Island would arrive.

There is only one reason why Jiubeng Xuanrui has such firm confidence in Muku who is far away on Jeju Island, that is, Colonel Mukusui, who has also been well-educated by the British Empire Navy, is an absolutely qualified naval soldier. In this third team, if it weren't for him Jiubeng Xuanrui, then there was no doubt that Mukusui would have become the major general commander of this third team.

As a naval commander who can feel extremely at ease, Mugu Shui Lai will never forget the responsibilities he should shoulder - beware of the raids of the Taiping Red Navy, which became "urgent" due to North Korea's crisis.

Of course, if you want to put the last glimmer of hope on the Jiubeng Xuanrui who was on Mu Gushui Lai, there is actually another thought that you are unwilling to say.

Due to his temporary negligence, although Asahara on the left wing was already effectively carrying out the order he issued, the entire column successfully sailed onto the southwest route. However, the xiǎo Song Column was no longer able. Now the xiǎo Song Column rushing in front of him actually had only two warships. If he executed his order, it would be like asking for a dead end.

The North Korean fast fleet that had already rushed into his formation was not only quick, but also extremely fierce.

He had realized that it was basically impossible to settle this North Korean vanguard fleet in just a short while.

Obviously, if he continues to fight according to his previous idea, what he will face will be an extremely tragic defeat.

Of course there is one way to lose without losing badly, that is one word - escape!

However, the word "escape" is something that Jiu Bian Xuanrui can never accept.

Since he has already been determined to fight to the death and is waiting for a major reversal of the situation, Xuan Rui will no longer think about it.

"After this battle of the rise and fall of the imperial kingdom, all members should work hard!"

Jiu Bian Xuan Rui imitated the naval god in their minds, Nelson, the naval father of the British Empire, during the Battle of Trafalgar, and issued an order to each ship to give their vanguard formation a painful blow before the main force of the North Korean fleet approached.

The head of the "Chranesui" is deviating southward at the fastest speed and is about to start turning around first.

"Hahababumaru" and "Caojimaru" who was still dragging an unsolved fire still followed closely behind.

The two ships of the xiǎo Song Column that had already rushed in front were also turning around and making a return.

At this time, the North Korean fast vanguard fleet was like a sharp blade, turning northward and began to stab at Jiu Bian Xuan Rui's "snake belly".

Jiu Bian Xuanrui's main formation was cut off from both ends.
