C2753 The encirclement of the French Fleet! (2/2)

Duke, the Chinese envoy has just visited our British Empire. We can't just watch him die a horrible death, can we?

A soldier was indeed a soldier. They had their own simple feelings and respect for heroes, but the Zhiyuan Warship in front of them had already completely conquered them. No one could sit by and watch a hero die tragically in front of them.

But politicians are different from soldiers. The Duke of Newkes shook his head in regret, ”No! ”We did not declare war on the French. If we were to intervene, it would be equivalent to joining the war!”

”I don't have that right, and neither do you! Keep your distance and continue to watch the battle. Your job is to record all the data from this sea battle and help my Royal Navy enter the new era of Iron-armored Ship! ”

”My God! What a magnificent era that was! If all warships on the entire world use a design like the Zhiyuan Warship, then it would be a very exciting scene, one that would make one's blood boil! ”

Duke still made the choice that a politician should have in the end. Although he and Xiao Letian had a broad and deep interest cooperation, it couldn't change anything!

At the moment, he could only watch as the angry French cruiser fleet blocked the narrow sea area between him and the Zhiyuan Warship, and surrounded the Zhiyuan Warship.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The furious cruiser team started to wildly fire at the Zhiyuan Warship, with over 20 warships attacking from the north, east and south.

These battleships witnessed the intense exchange of fire. They could only watch helplessly as their main force battleships were sunk one after another. Each and every one of them was burning with anger, but they couldn't help at all!

After all, at that time, their position was not right, the boiler water pressure was not high enough, and their speed was not raised at all. Even if they wanted to help, they could not!

But now, the Zhiyuan Warship had dove into their own pockets. These cruisers did not even need to bypass the main battleship's array, as long as they were able to flank the Zhiyuan Warship from the north to the south, they would be able to trap the Zhiyuan Warship inside.

This was a truly bizarre scene in the history of naval warfare. They had never seen such a perfect encirclement, the French actually formed an elliptical shooting formation that trapped the Zhiyuan Warship in the middle.

To the west were the remaining battleship Queue length troops firing their cannons, and to the east were the ten cruisers along the Spic Island's coastline. They were also using their side fire to wreak havoc on the Zhiyuan Warship.

And from the north to south, there were five cruisers blocking Zhiyuan's escape path. An irregular oval-shaped battle formation appeared on the entire sea, Zhiyuan Warship s could not escape even if they had wings!

The countless watching British Navy soldiers closed their eyes. They could not bear to see the final outcome of this legendary battleship!

Meanwhile, the French Army s who had landed on the ground shouted excitedly in the storm, ”Revenge! The navy fought beautifully! Sinking Chinese warships! ”

”Long live the Empire! Long live the Emperor! ”

Every time a Zhiyuan Warship was concentrated with cannonballs, they would receive countless French soldiers's passionate howls. At that moment, they could not even feel the wind that was blowing over their heads!

These French soldiers were completely angered by the fury of revenge and lost all sense of reason, but the British soldiers who were watching the fight outside the battlefield found it strange.

”What's going on? Was the Zhiyuan Warship's main cannon blown up? How come there's not a single shot back? ”

”Look at the path of the Zhiyuan Warship... He was actually still accelerating … What on earth is he trying to do? ”

”Is he crazy? If they go on like this, they'll hit the rocks! ”
