Yue Yun looked at the sail battleship burning on the sea, with a strange smile on his face.

Liu Chen was beside Yue Yun, and his laughter never stopped, "General, I didn't expect your joke to come true, these Europeans really came to attack at night." “

"What I said during the day was by no means just a joke, in the face of our ironclad ships, they only used unusual ways to attack." Yue Yun said.

Upon arriving off the coast of Calcutta, he joked with his generals that the European fleet might launch a surprise attack at night, using broadside battles to bridge the gap between the two sides.

It is precisely for this reason that they did not turn on the searchlights at night as usual, but this time they did not turn on the searchlights, and hid the fact that there were searchlights on the ironclad ships, but I didn't expect these Europeans to really take advantage of the dark night to touch them.

"In any case, the combined fleets of Europe are crashing into our guns, and they will all sink in the sea tonight." Liu Chen said.

When they arrived at their destination, they learned that the combined fleet's warships were hiding in the upper reaches of the Ganges, and that the terrain was very unfavorable to them, because if they entered the Ganges, their ironclads would be attacked by army artillery.

Yue Yun's gaze kept focused on the sea, his expression gradually became solemn, and he said, "Don't take it lightly, let all the marines be in position, the battle has just begun." ”

Hearing this, Liu Chen looked ahead and found a flaming sail warship rushing towards them, and it was obvious that this time the will to fight the combined fleet was equally strong.

"Aim at enemy ships trying to get close to us and sink them!" Faced with this situation, Yue Yun gave an order.

Liu Chen also realized at this time that the danger had not been lifted, and he immediately asked the marines to set up machine guns on the deck, and once they were hit by an enemy ship, it was their task to protect the battleship.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The ironclad ship of the Sovereign suddenly opened full firepower, and one after another shells flew towards the rushing sail battleship, and after being hit continuously, the battleship finally sank slowly.

At the same time, the other ironclad ships were also exerting their maximum firepower, and the entire sea continued to burst into bright fires, and after each fire, several warships of the Combined Fleet were hit and sunk.

For a time, the entire sea was full of burning battleships, and in addition to the sound of firefights, the cries for help of enemy soldiers in the sea also resounded in the night sky.

"Cobancy, what are we going to do?" Amid the deafening sound of cannons, Filin asked anxiously.

Their flagship was in the center of the fleet, and now their forward fleet was being dealt a devastating blow, which worried and terrified them, the onlookers.

Coming back to his senses after the initial shock, Cobansey said: "We must not rush over in such a reckless manner, otherwise our ships will all be destroyed, lay down the boats, and let the soldiers approach the enemy ships in small boats, so that the fire of the enemy ships will be dispersed, and we will have a chance to win." “

After a pause, he pointed to the lights shooting from the Imperial warships and said, "These strange lights have exposed us, tell the soldiers, once they are in range, shoot at these bright places, although I don't know what they are, but it must be the new technology of the Empire." ”

Hearing this, Fei Lin nodded heavily, and he immediately called the herald and asked the herald to make one action with the lantern, which was how the message was transmitted between them.

Immediately after receiving the order, the soldiers on the battleship put down the small wooden boats and headed for the Imperial battleship in groups of twenty, while the two small boats were filled with explosives, which was also the order of Cobancy.

Each sail battleship lowered ten small boats, and the remaining hundred or so battleships lowered thousands of small boats and rushed towards the Imperial fleet.

For a time, the entire sea was filled with small wooden ships of the Combined Fleet, and in the process of rushing to the Imperial Fleet, the small boats constantly rescued the soldiers who had fallen into the water and rushed over together.

The combined fleet's move was quickly discovered by Yue Yun, and in the distance, the combined fleet's warships adjusted their posture and were shelling each other, which gave them a hint of wolf pack tactics in the thousands of small wooden boats coming towards them.

Yue Yun was no stranger to this tactic adopted by the Combined Fleet, as there were examples of such battles in the textbooks of the Imperial Naval Academy.

The textbook also records a naval battle between Spain and England, when the British won the battle with small arsonist boats, loaded with explosives and soldiers.

Because in this kind of large-scale naval battle, the large warships are far less flexible than these small wooden ships, once they are approached by the wooden ships, the soldiers on the wooden ships can take the offensive methods of scuttling, blowing up, and burning the ships.

In this battle, they were already at a disadvantage in numbers, and now that the combined fleet uses this method, they suddenly fall into passivity, after all, the enemy is large in number and the target is small, and there is no doubt that the cannon will hit them with mosquitoes.

But if you don't deal with them, it will be troublesome once you get close.

"Convey the order to the other warships, the main guns continue to fire at the large enemy warships, use the secondary guns and sampan guns to fire at the small boats at sea, stop them from approaching, and at the same time let the marines strafe the ships where they are trying to approach, and the grenades are also ready."

The dense boats approached them, this kind of scene really made people's scalps full, Yue Yun didn't dare to be careless this time.

At the order, the searchlight of the ironclad ship of the King immediately flickered, and after installing the searchlight, they immediately mastered the language of lights, and there was nothing more convenient than the language of lights in the dark night.

The change in the searchlight on the ironclad ship was instantly captured by the other warships, and they all acted according to the order, and the marines who were resting in the battleship's cabin quickly entered combat mode.

"Whoosh ......"

In order to find the location of the enemy's boats more clearly, one flare after another was fired over the sea, and the ships of the combined fleet were exposed in the light.

"Da Da Da ......"

At that moment, the machine guns on the ironclad ship Sovereign erupted in flames, and they first fired at a small boat that came into range.

A barrage of bullets hit the wooden boat, and before the soldiers could react, they collapsed in a pool of blood.

At the same time, more and more machine guns rang out, and soldiers on small boats fell under the strafing of machine gun fire.

The soldiers on the small boat also launched a counterattack, and the guns on the ship continued to light up with flames from the muzzles, and the soldiers on the ironclad began to suffer casualties.

The battle became more and more tense, and although the machine gun fire damaged the boats, there were too many of them, and they scrambled to approach the ironclad like soldiers charging wildly.

"Click!"

When Yue Yun was nervously observing, a bullet hit the searchlight, and the pillar of light shining on the enemy warship suddenly disappeared.

Seeing this, Yue Yun's heart tightened, and he shouted, "Quickly change to a spare searchlight!" ”
