C2741 Frisian naval warfare (1/2)
Xiang Ying was not in the command cabin now, he was at the highest point of the Zhiyuan Warship, which was the armoured commander tower at the top of the mast.
This was a podium surrounded by three inch thick steel plates, it was the highest position of the Zhiyuan Warship and Xiang Ying could see the entire battlefield from here.
In front of Xiang Ying was a row of microphones. The fine and sturdy copper pipe was directly connected to the bottom, and could accurately send his orders to the command cabin!
In the battle of the seas, once someone reached the stage where the Captain himself wanted to personally command the Armored Commander Tower, that would mean that the battle at sea had already reached the point of death.
It could be seen that Xiang Ying had truly made up his mind.
His two hands tightly gripped onto the steel plate, he stared at the battleship in the distance, and prayed in his heart, ”If only there was a spirit in the heavens!” ”If our destiny is still there!”
”Divine gods and ancestors, please bless me so that I will still be alive after this battle!”
”I'm not afraid of death. I just believe from the bottom of my heart that … ”I firmly believe that the destiny of our China has not gone extinct. I firmly believe that the Hanjiajiang will once again shine!”
”As long as this destiny remains, as long as I am fighting for it!” Then the land that the ancestors and gods have protected will definitely protect me! ”
”The Head of State is right! I've been through countless difficulties during my time in China's five thousand years of civilization... The Old Ancestor has endured it all, so why should we die and become extinct in this lifetime? ”
”I don't believe it! I don't believe this! ”
”Zuo Manduo! The Zhiyuan Warship had stabbed into the right side of the enemy! Free shooting! ”Quickly shoot!”
The Zhiyuan Warship was still eight kilometers away from the French Fleet when Xiang Ying finally gave the order to fight. At this moment, the French Fleet still did not know that such a killing god had arrived from the northwest!
The first one to discover the Zhiyuan Warship was the lookout hand of the French battleship, so it was rather strange. This lookout hand didn't rely on his eyes to discover the enemy ship, but on his nose.
Today, the wind in the North Sea was the west wind. At first, the wind was only level 3 or 4. However, by midnight, the wind had risen to level 6. The waves on the sea were also more than 1 meter tall.
The sky was covered by dark clouds, and the stars that filled the sky were all covered up!
This kind of environment was extremely suitable for Zhiyuan Warship's sneak attack, especially when Xiang Ying had even ordered for light control. However, no one expected that the Zhiyuan Warship would spit out a large amount of black smoke after the strong wind pressurized it, and the black smoke betrayed his actions.
The of the Glory twitched her nose a few times, he suddenly smelt a faint smell of smoke. This lookout hand was a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time, he had an unexplainable intuition, and subconsciously looked towards the northwest.
”The smell of soot? Why does it feel so different from the smell of our soot? ”It seems a little more fragrant …”
”My God! There was a black shadow in the northwest direction! There was something strange in the northwest direction! Captain... Captain, there's something strange in the northwest direction! ”
At this time, the entire Glory was in a mess, everyone's attention was still focused on the English in the southwest. Who would have thought that there would be another uninvited guest in the northwest direction.
Huo Fu quickly turned his binoculars to look towards the northwest direction and saw a black shadow rushing towards him. He could guess that it was a boat, but he was unable to determine what boat it was.
”Damn it!” Banshee, Pyrenees … ”Get out of the shooting-range and head towards the north to block that damned thing. If you discover anything wrong, you can open fire at will …”
However, before he could finish his sentence, a clump of light burst out from the telescope. It was as if a match had been struck in the distance by a sea god!
