Chapter 73 Finale (6)

Because just when Jeffrey took the flagship "Vulcan" and his First Iron Craft Detachment to start rescuing, the main force of the Red Navy Pacific Fleet led by Xu Zongyang, who was once considered absolutely impossible to appear again, not only did it appear again, but it also came from the direction he least believed in Dongfang Expressway.

Jeffrey was caught off guard by Xu Zongyang again.

However, the "surprise" Xu Zongyang gave to Jeffrey is not only that.

Although he had been forced to respond hastily by Xu Zongyang's sudden and fierce impact, and only the only way to fight back was left, Jeffrey did not completely lose confidence in the final result of the battle.

He believed that his huge fleet, which was like a sheep, would definitely change their original roles in a very short time. Therefore, although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom people could be arrogant by stealing their own tricks, the ultimate initiative on the battlefield would eventually be re-attributed to him who had an absolute advantage in quantity.

However, Jeffrey was really too optimistic, and he forgot one thing that Xu Zongyang, who was "ruthless and ruthless", would not give him such an opportunity to revive his strength.

Just over ten minutes after the main force of the Red Navy Pacific Fleet led by Xu Zongyang appeared, six warships including the "Xing'anling" and "Changbaishan" of the second iron-armored cruiser formation of the Red Navy's high seas fleet also entered the battle group from west to east.

The British ships that had already planned to gather together were like frightened rabbits, and were just running around in a row, under the powerful impact of the fleet composed of six warships such as the "Xing'anling" and "Changbaishan". So, Jeffrey's dream of reviving his horse was completely shattered.

And with the shattering of dreams, what Jeffrey welcomed was his own destruction.

It takes seven inches to hit a snake. As soon as Xu Zongyang, who knew this, stared at the British flagship "Vulcan", as soon as he entered the British warship group.

Of course, Jeffrey also saw the danger he was in and had struggled again and again.

But in front of Xu Zongyang's "Wen Tianxiang" battleship, Jeffrey's dying struggles all seemed so weak and meaningless.

Jeffrey had wanted to use the two heavy ironclad ships of the First Ironclad Detachment around him as shields to try to get out of the predicament. However, the two heavy ironclad ships that were leaning against him in a hurry, but before they even had time to pull away, they ran away with their heads under the attack of powerful artillery fire from the Red Navy.

So, Jeffrey changed his tactics again and decided to fight and retreat.

Unfortunately, it is okay to fight sideways, no matter how hard it is to fight, the enemy ships chasing behind him are still his freedom to fire their guns. But when talking about "retreat", Jeffrey soon discovered that this was just a fantasy.

Because in front of Xu Zongyang's "Wen Tianxiang" battleship, Jeffrey's "Vulcan" heavy ironclad ship can only be regarded as an old lady wrapped in small feet.

Since he couldn't run, Jeffrey had no choice but to run.

If you fight, who is afraid of whom, either the fish dies or the net breaks!

With this will, the "Vulcan God" can finally straighten his back. He then shook his head and acted like he was going to fight to the death with the "Wen Tianxiang".

However, when this real fight between the two, Jeffrey completely understood a truth, because his fist was about to come with Xu Zongyang. It was really not hard enough, and his small body could not keep up with Xu Zongyang's strength.

In any case, Xu Zongyang, who stood on the battleship of the "Wen Tianxiang", and Jeffrey, who was holding his head up on the heavy ironclad ship of the "Vulcan", finally launched a fairly fair nobility-like duel.

Several shells from the 350-mm giant cannon of the "Vulcan" had landed on the deck of the "Wen Tianxiang". But those that brought Jeffrey were only a short burst of joy. After that, Jeffrey immediately understood the fact that for the flagships of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom people on the opposite side, the few shells that fell on him from his "Vulcan" cannon were filled with heavy shells with black gunpowder, which were like bullet soil.

When the shells of the "Wen Tianxiang" landed on the "Vulcan", each shell could cause the heavy ironclad ship with a displacement of nearly 15,000 tons to stage an extremely tragic tragedy.

After several rounds of confrontation, the superstructure of the "Vulcan" was in a mess. We also had to count on the sails that could provide auxiliary power, while the flesh and blood of the Royal Navy officers and soldiers flew everywhere.

Since the day when he stepped into the imperial royal navy with his head held high, Jeffrey, who had never thought that he would encounter such a miserable scene, has now begun to regret that he should not have fought with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom heroically.

Alas, impulse is a devil!

If I had known this, it would be more appropriate to stick to the previous fight and retreat, after all, there is still a glimmer of vitality.

But no matter what Jeffrey thinks, his journey of life has come to an end.

When another round of artillery fire from the "Wen Tianxiang" battleship rushed down, the "Vulcan" finally came true.

With several earth-shaking explosions, the "Vulcan" that had been completely engulfed by the huge burning flames turned into two pieces that were difficult to connect to the beginning and end...

Beijing, Tuanjie City, Office of the Chairman of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom National Defense and Military Commission.

The ticket from the Red Navy Pacific Fleet was just finished by Li Xiucheng, and was immediately snatched away by Lin Fengxiang, who had been next to him.

At this time, Lin Fengxiang was like a groom who was admiring himself in the bridal chamber. He looked up and down the tickets of the victory in his hand several times, and finally raised his excited face, "Okay, okay, that's great! Hahaha, this guy Xu Zongyang is indeed cruel enough. In this battle, he almost ate all the heavy battleships in the British Pacific Fleet. In this way, the battle situation in America will be the same as in South Asia, and the initiative will be completely in our hands."

"Yes, it's just... it's just a little bit of a pity..." Li Xiucheng looked at Lin Fengxiang, as if he was deliberately trying to pour some cold water on the general who was so excited that he was like a child. While speaking, he frowned slightly.

"It's a bit of a pity?" Lin Fengxiang, who was sending the telegram to Lin Haifeng in one step, turned around in confusion, "What's a pity?" (To be continued...)
