Ye Zuqi did not send a signal back to Lin Fei, and directly ordered eight torpedo boats to attack with wolf pack tactics, whoever launched a torpedo that could hit the Huaxia battleship, whose family could get a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, Ye Zuqi also knew that the torpedo boat sailors had gone and never returned, so he directly sent the reward to his family.

The torpedo boat sailors are all dead soldiers, and they are still three or four kilometers away from the Huaxia battleship, and this distance is the distance with the highest hit rate of the Emperor-class cruiser and the Dynasty-class battleship, and attacking the Dynasty-class battleship and the Emperor-class cruiser at this distance is tantamount to looking for death.

Lin Fei looked at the torpedo boat coming through the waves, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a shallow smile, and said to himself: "I admire your courage, but pity your stupidity." ”

Lin Fei looked at Liu Daming and smiled casually: "Since the Qing court does not surrender, let's bombard, remember, don't use rockets, the Qing dogs are not worthy." ”

The Emperor-class cruisers and the Dynasty-class battleships fired their guns together, the rumbling sound of the guns echoed on the sea, the muzzle shock wave stirred up a string of water lines, and the shells fell on the sea, with the advanced fire control system, these shells were extremely accurate, and almost every round of gunfire fired, there were shells hitting the torpedo boats.

The torpedo boats of the Qing State were very small, because the Qing State did not have the money to buy large torpedo boats, and the money was used by the Empress Dowager Cixi for the 65th birthday, since the torpedo boats were small, the anti-sinking properties were not high, once they were hit by a shell, if the shell detonated the torpedo, the torpedo boat would be completely blown up, and if the shell did not detonate the torpedo, the torpedo boat would soon enter the water and sink.

Of the eight torpedo boats, four were quickly knocked out, and the remaining four did not dare to fight, so they hurriedly turned their course and headed for the nearest land, all of which were wounded, three of which sank on the way to escape, and the remaining one hit the reef while escaping, and a large hole opened in the bottom of the boat and sank to the bottom of the sea.

At the beginning of the battle, the torpedo boat formation built by the Qing State was wiped out under Lin Fei's powerful firepower, and Ye Zuqi was really tenacious, and ordered the Jingyuan ship to sail towards the Huaxia fleet at full speed, and gave full play to the power of rapid-fire guns to sink the Huaxia battleship.

A Jingyuan ship sailed towards Lin Fei's fleet alone, and beside it was the splash of water from the cannonballs fired by the Dynasty-class battleships and the Emperor-class cruisers, this scene was very similar to the situation when the Zhiyuan ship rushed to the Yoshino ship, but unfortunately, there was no Lin Fei on this "Zhiyuan ship".

Lin Fei said in a deep voice: "Finally, send a signal to persuade you to surrender, if the Jingyuan ship refuses to surrender, then we will sink it." ”

The six Huaxia battleships all sent out a signal to persuade them to surrender, but Ye Zuqi was unmoved, and still rushed quickly, and the distance gradually narrowed to four thousand meters, and the Jingyuan warship still couldn't hit the Huaxia battleship, but the Huaxia battleship could already accurately hit the Jingyuan ship.

An armor-piercing bullet hit the Jingyuan ship, this armor-piercing bullet was fired by a dynasty-class battleship, and the speed was much faster than that fired by the Emperor-class cruiser, but the warhead material of this armor-piercing bullet was still alloy steel, not tungsten alloy, in Lin Fei's era, tungsten alloy was the best choice for all kinds of armor-piercing bullets, and Lin Fei also wanted to produce tungsten alloy.

However, tungsten alloy has a high melting point, hard and brittle, and it is very difficult to process, and if you want to use tungsten alloy, you can only use powder metallurgy, but at this time, the powder metallurgy technology of the Chinese Empire is still in its infancy, and it is not until the early twentieth century that tungsten alloy is refined by powder metallurgy in the world.

Although the armor-piercing shells fired by the Dynasty-class battleships were made of alloy steel, it was still not a problem to penetrate the Jingyuan ship, and the entire port side hull was basically pierced, although it did not cause the ammunition and boiler explosion, but it also slowed down the Jingyuan ship, and as soon as the speed was slow, more shells hit the Jingyuan ship.

In the blink of an eye, four shells fell on the Jingyuan ship one after another, and the Jingyuan ship exploded in all directions, and thick smoke billowed out, and at this moment, a white flag suddenly rose from the Jingyuan ship, and the Jingyuan ship was about to surrender.

The Huaxia fleet observed this and immediately asked Liu Daming for instructions: "Do you want to stop firing guns?" ”

Liu Daming didn't ask Lin Fei for advice, observed the Jingyuan ship for a while, and said angrily: "What a Jingyuan ship, hoisting the white flag but not slowing down, where is this to surrender, it is clearly a fraudulent surrender, give me a hard beating, and vow not to give up if you don't sink the Jingyuan ship." Liu Daming was not wrong, Ye Zuqi realized that according to the current development of the war situation, the Jingyuan ship would be sunk before it could pull the Huaxia battleship into range, so he thought of a trick to surrender, but he didn't expect to be seen through by Liu Daming at a glance.

"Wait." Lin Fei's voice suddenly sounded, and Liu Daming turned his head and asked, "Do you believe that the Jingyuan ship is going to surrender?" ”

"Of course I don't believe it, I just want to remind you that let the photographer with the army come over and take pictures of the scene of the Jingyuan ship flying the white flag, and then humiliate and humiliate the Qing court."

Liu Daming laughed, "Your Majesty still thinks a lot, someone is here, and he is called a photographer with the army." "Lin Fei's battleship had a photographer accompanying the army, and these photographers were all equipped with German cameras, and the photographers immediately came out and took pictures of the Jingyuan ship.

While the photographers were recording the humiliating moment when the Jingyuan ship hoisted the white flag, two more shells hit the Jingyuan ship, and this time the Jingyuan ship could not support it and sank in the raging fire.

The Jingyuan ship sank into the sea, and many people appeared on the sea, these people were sailors, they showed their heads, and they rose and fell on the sea, and they were not afraid of death like the Qing soldiers on the torpedo boats.

Liu Daming immediately ordered to send a small boat to capture the Qing sailors, six small boats galloped out, and soon caught all the Qing soldiers in the water, a total of 55 sailors, one of them turned out to be the pipe belt of the Jingyuan ship - Ye Zuqi.

The two Chinese soldiers escorted Ye Zuqi to Lin Fei, Ye Zuqi raised his head proudly, stood up and did not kneel, Lin Fei sneered: "Ye Zujue, as a pipe belt, you did not sink with the ship, but you were rescued by me, and you survived secretly, and you still have the face to play arrogant?" ”

Ye Zuqi said angrily: "Ye Moucai didn't steal his life, I was going to die for the country, but I didn't expect your minions to catch me, Lin Fei, if you have a kind, give me a good time." ”

"I won't kill you, I'm going to return you to the Qing Dynasty." After Lin Fei finished speaking, he waved his hand lightly, and asked Ye Zuqi to be escorted down, and then ordered the battleship to return to Liugong Island.

Lin Fei set foot on Liugong Island again, this time his identity was no longer a guest here, but a conqueror here.

As soon as Lin Fei landed ashore, he found a large group of reporters surrounded by a distance, and the reporters were all blocked out of the circle by the frogman commando fighters. ”

"Report to Your Majesty, they heard the explosion and wanted to find out what was going on."

Lin Fei's heart moved suddenly, and he turned around to see Lu Xian'er approaching, and ordered: "You and Ning Shuang brought the people of the Blood Phoenix Army to the reporter group and find out the mysterious maid for me." ”

Lu Xian'er and Yu Ningshuang immediately left with the blood phoenix's people, and Lin Fei instructed his subordinates to hold a press conference to explain the incident on Liugong Island.

During the preparation of the press conference, Lu Xian'er and Yu Ningshuang came back, they both shook their heads helplessly, they didn't catch the mysterious maid, Lin Fei sighed lightly, and comforted: "Forget it, if you don't catch it, you don't catch it, anyway, she is only one person, and she can't make any big waves." ”

The press conference was quickly prepared, of course Lin Fei did not attend in person, this kind of trivial matter He Laofei Emperor did it himself, and the press conference let Liu Daming go, Liu Daming took the speech written by Lin Fei, came to the reporters, and said loudly: "This Liu Gongdao incident is completely a shameless provocation by the Qing Dynasty!" ”

"At one o'clock in the afternoon, eight Qing auxiliary ships suddenly crashed into the ship of our Huaxia Flying Emperor, and our fleet sank it after the warning was invalid."

"In the process of sinking, the eight auxiliary ships all exploded extremely violently, indicating that the auxiliary ships were loaded with a large amount of explosives, and their intention was obvious, that is, to assassinate our Huaxia Flying Emperor."

"In the face of such a provocation by the Qing State, my Huaxia can't swallow my anger, so I entered Liugong Island, and my Huaxia entered Liugong Island, and I didn't mean to occupy Liugong Island, but to let the Qing court hand over the mastermind behind the assassination conspiracy, as long as the Qing court handed over the mastermind behind the assassination conspiracy, our Huaxia fleet immediately evacuated Liugong Island."

"In the process of our Huaxia fleet entering Liugong Island, it was unreasonably rejected by the Qing navy, and the Qing navy warships also brazenly launched an attack on our fleet, among which the Jingyuan ship also adopted the despicable means of hanging a white flag and defrauding the landing, we have photos to prove it, and we will send it to you later."

"This kind of behavior is indignant to the people and gods, and there is no redemption for death, so our fleet sank eight torpedo boats and the Jingyuan ship of the Qing Kingdom, and captured 50 sailors alive, including Ye Zuqi, the captain of the Jingyuan ship."

When Liu Daming said this, the audience exclaimed, the Qing Dynasty spent two years, and finally built a naval fleet of eight torpedo boats and Jingyuan ships and Zhiyuan ships, but within an hour, they were beaten by the Flying Emperor to only one Zhiyuan ship, and the Flying Emperor was too ruthless, where is the Flying Emperor, it is simply the "Wolf Emperor" and "Tiger Emperor".

Liu Daming waved his hand lightly to quiet the venue, and then said: "Our Huaxia Empire has officially issued an ultimatum to the Qing Empire, if within twenty-four hours, the Qing State does not hand over the mastermind behind the assassination, my Huaxia will never return Liugong Island." ”

After Liu Daming finished speaking, he turned around and went out, and the host of the press conference announced: "This is the end of the press conference." The reporters asked: "Will the Flying Emperor start a full-scale war with the Qing State on this?" "Is this Liugongdao incident a deliberate provocation by the Chinese Empire?"

The Chinese people did not answer any of these questions, and the reporters hurried out to the telegraph office and sent the telegram to Tianjin, where the Qing State learned the lesson of the ineffective command of the First Sino-Japanese War and repaired the telegram from Tianjin to Liugong Island.

When the news reached Tianjin, the world was shaken, and at this time Japan and Russia were fighting in the northeast of the Qing Dynasty, and Britain and Germany were fighting in South Africa and the Middle East, and now the Qing Kingdom and China were about to go to war again.
