Betic said: "Evil, this ship is obviously a battleship, why is it not inferior to our destroyers in speed? If this continues, you can't catch up."

When the Pope heard him say this, he was happy again: "Then don't chase him. Your mission is to escort me and 178 Cardinal Archbishops to Macau with a fleet. Since the enemy ships escape, you don't need to chase him. Protecting us to go to Macau is your top priority. Doing something meaningless is just a waste of time."

After hearing this, Betty was immediately unhappy and thought to himself: What's the point of giving the battle that concerns the rise and fall of Europe to a group of charlatans and launching a spell to burn the entire city? The burned city cannot be used for us at all, and it doesn't make sense to occupy that kind of place. I heard that Shanghai Oasis is now the most prosperous city in the Great Manchu Kingdom, which is more prosperous than the capital and Nanjing, and is also known as the magic capital. It is too wasteful to burn all such a good place. It's better to let my fleet capture Shanghai Oasis and turn it into a second Macau... I just don't agree with burning Kolkata.

Betty ignored the Pope and was only concerned about pursuing Yiyun. He was the admiral of the British Royal Navy, not a subordinate of the Holy See, and he did not need to follow the Pope's orders, so he just said coldly: "His Majesty Pope, my mission is to escort you to Macau, but the superiors did not stipulate that I cannot destroy the enemy halfway. In short, I just need to send you to Macau."

The pope said helplessly: "Then you have to be careful. If the Archbishop in the Chronicle accidentally kills one or two by the enemy, your mission will fail and you will be sent to the military court at that time."

Betty shouted: "Hmph. How is this possible..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a shell fired by Yiyun fell into the sea about five meters outside the starboard side of the Elizabeth, and then a violent explosion occurred in the sea. Although the power of this explosion was not enough to overturn a giant ship of more than 30,000 tons, the waves caused violent shaking. Everyone on the Elizabeth fell. Betty was used to life on the sea, so he stood steadily and was fine. But the Pope fell to the ground with a thud and fell a big bag on his forehead.

Betty was filled with gloom. But then he thought that the naval battle might not be what happened. If his warship hit the enemy and shocked several cardinals to death, it would be a big problem. Maybe he would be sent to the military court. Betty hesitated and shouted to his subordinates: "Come on, invite the Blackbeard Admiral."

------------------

At this time, Yi Yun's Big Cute had already begun to approach the small island in the east, and the British fleet behind him was still several miles away from him. Both sides were shooting one shot without one shot across the sea. Since both sides were in a situation of chasing and fleeing, it was not a serious showdown, so the hit rate of both sides was not very good. After firing a few shots at the air and spending a lot of ammunition, Yi Yun finally arrived near the island.

The Beiyang sailors and Fusang sailors on the island hid, and the two giant ships, the Beiyang and Ise, also hid behind the island, and could not see from this side of the island because there was a small hill on the island with many trees covering the view. It turned out that Yi Yun had already notified the captain of the "Beiyang" Ding Ruchang and the captain of the "Ise" Jiugui Jialong, who had already prepared for the momentum.

When Yiyun arrived at the island, she walked back along the island. The British fleet chased her closely and followed her back. However, when the British fleet had just walked around the island and had a wider view, she was shocked and saw that on the sea in front, three huge battleships were divided into a font shape, and had been waiting for a long time.

Betty screamed in his heart. He had just seen several light spots behind the island on the radar, but these light spots were still silent. He thought there were several smaller islands behind the island. Unexpectedly, before he could send an order, three battleships had already fired together, and huge shells were coming in the air. This time Yi Yun no longer had one shot or one shot, but all the joint main guns on the three battleships fired in a coupon at the same time. In an instant, more than twenty cannons of more than three hundred millimeters were bombarded together, and more than twenty giant shells flew up at the same time. The sound of "swish" shells in the sky was heard.

Yi Yun learned the concentrated attack tactics of Yang Willie (Yang Wenli) in "Legend of the Galaxy". The main guns of the three battleships were all aimed at Betty's flagship Elizabeth. Moreover, the two ships, Beiyang and Ise, were parked there for a long time and were aiming at the corner of the side of the island. In other words, they aimed extremely accurately, which was completely different from the cannons that were rushing to aim in battle.

Betty was shocked and it was too late to hide, so she had to shout, "Hold on what's around her and prepare to face the collision!"

Only a loud bang sound was heard, and the shells had already fallen, and a sand column suddenly rushed up from the sea near Elizabeth. After all, it was a warship rushing at a speed of twenty knots. Although the Ise and the Beiyang had been accumulating for a long time, they could not hit accurately, and a large number of shells fell into the sea...

But there were also lucky shells. One shell hit the Elizabeth chimney, blowing its front chimney into a piece of scrap iron. The chimney twisted into a strange shape. The rolling black smoke could no longer be discharged upwards, but spread on the bridge. Betty looked out from the glass of the captain's room and saw a rolling black smoke in front of him, and there was no other thing.

Betty was shocked: "I**, how do you direct this?"

The destruction of the chimney is not only because it cannot be commanded. Due to the malfunction of the smoke exhaust system, the boiler in the cabin cannot operate at full speed, and the speed of the Queen Elizabeth instantly slowed down. The rolling smoke did not become the protective umbrella of the Queen Eliza, but instead made it very conspicuous. In the endless sea of ​​yellow sand, a black cloud of smoke was simply the best target to aim.

Yi Yun laughed and said, "Cum again!"

With a command, three battleships opened fire at the same time. This round of shooting finally hit the hull of Elizabeth. A shell hit the deck of Queen Elizabeth, causing a fire from Xiongxiong. A group of British sailors ran to the deck to put out the fire. However, the flames caused by the gunpowder explosion were not so easy to extinguish. When the hull was using various means to extinguish the fire, another armor-piercing bomb flew and hit the side armor of Elizabeth. The warhead drilled through the thick iron armor, smashing an isolation cabin. The hull was shaken violently, and several hulls were shaken up and fell into the sea. They were instantly torn into pieces by the sea sand.

Betty was frightened and grabbed the radio and cursed: "Cruiser, destroyer, how do you make a frigate? Are you eating a meal? Damn it, come on me quickly and buy me time to repair the damaged unit."

Four cruisers and four destroyers rushed forward together. The British destroyers were not slow at the speed and soon arrived next to the Yiyun fleet. At this time, Yiyun's fleet no longer fled and fired artillery, but began to move in an arc, which is the so-called "ship court mobile tactic". In this way, the British destroyers no longer had to chase after them, but came closer easily.

Destroyers cannot fight artillery battleships, and the small cannons on them cannot penetrate the armor of the battleships at all. Moreover, it is very dangerous for destroyers to approach the battleships. They may be sent to the seabed by the secondary guns of the battleships to feed fish at any time. However, the British destroyers still rushed up bravely... After all, the British Royal Navy still has a bit of temperament!

This kind of small boat wants to win and lose with the battleship, and the only weapon that can be relied on is torpedo.

The Dameng's deputy artillery fired one after another, attacking the British destroyers approaching. The lucky artillery soldiers only fired a few shots and hit a destroyer. The small destroyer made a huge explosion sound, and the hull broke in half. The bow and stern raised at the same time, and then slowly sank down.

Yi Yun was overjoyed: "Haha! Hit!"

At this moment, the sonar soldiers in the captain's room of the Dameng shouted loudly: "The other three destroyers released torpedoes at the same time, and there was a sound of torpedo sailing in front of the left..."

At this time, the secondary gun was still firing violently, and another destroyer was shot. It turned into a fireball with a bang. Fortunately, it did not break, but floated on the sea and burned. This situation was saved.

Although another destroyer was killed, the torpedo was already rushing toward the Dameng. Li Huamei quickly grabbed the radio and shouted: "Emergency turn right...Left string...Heavy machine gunner... Pay attention to the anti-torpedo..."

In fact, the Yiwu soldiers holding machine guns had already locked their eyes on the distant sea surface, and saw several yellow tails on the sea surface lit up, which turned out to be the sand waves stirred up during high-speed navigation of torpedoes.

The torpedo speeds these days are not too fast, generally speaking, they can only reach a speed of forty knots, so it is impossible to fly at a speed slower than the speed of sound like shells. If it is really the speed of shells, machine gunners cannot intercept it, but the speed of torpedoes is relatively slow and can be swept away with a machine gun. The Yiwu soldiers quickly fired wildly at the sea surface, and bullets were scattered towards the trajectory of the torpedoes one by one.

Only the sound of "boom boom boom" was heard, and several torpedoes were intercepted by heavy machine guns. Several yellow sand fog exploded from the sea. However, wherever the sand fog passed, a tenacious torpedo passed through the machine gunner's interception and rushed to the belly of the big cute horn.

Li Huamei's face changed slightly, and she shouted to the radio: "All staff are ready to deal with the impact..."

"Boom!" Before she finished speaking, the torpedo had hit the port side waterline of the Dameng... The torpedo was so powerful that a big hole was immediately arranged on the hull, and sea sand poured in.
Chapter completed!
