Chapter 373
This is a naval battle with no prisoners.

The Ming Fleet finally stopped after all the coalition warships were sunk.

The two thousand soldiers of the Royal Guards of the Ming Dynasty and the First Marine Corps who had been staying inside the Qinhuang aircraft carrier finally had a chance to play at this time.

The tonnage of the Qinhuang aircraft carrier, which is almost the largest in the world, made them seem to be standing on a stable ground.

Raise the gun and aim easily.

Wu Yan no longer needs these defeated people to go back to promote the military strength of his Ming Empire, and he does not need to use these captives to bring them back so that the people of the Ming Empire can feel the attack of their country's soldiers. Nothing can be done.

Because he has a camera.

Beichen used his own super power to control the camera suspended on the highest part of the Qinhuang aircraft carrier, as well as the battleship and cruiser, and nearly completely recorded the naval battle that lasted only 10 minutes.

The sinking of more than 300 coalition warships and the great victory of the Ming Fleet without any damage, even after hundreds of years, no one will doubt it.

At least two-thirds of all the people of this generation of the Ming Empire were able to see the grandeur of this battle and the strength of the Royal Navy fleet of the Ming Empire.

And starting from the next generation of the Ming Empire, everyone can see this naval battle that changed the world pattern in a real sense.

After this battle, the Royal Navy Fleet of the Ming Empire will inevitably become the undisputed number one navy in the world.

However, although Wu Yan let the Ming Fleet sink all the warships of the coalition forces, and even ordered his soldiers to fight the 'water ghosts' afterwards, not all the coalition navy forces participating in the battle died.

Annihilation of the entire army does not actually exist in such a naval battle.

Unless Wu Yan is willing to dispatch his fighter jets, otherwise, those small fast boats responsible for delivering the news will still have enough time to leave the sea area where the naval battle took place and return to the port of the British Empire to land.

Compared with the speed of any country's naval fleet in this era, the speed of the Qinhuang aircraft carrier formation can be described as crushing.

However, those small fast boats using steam power can crush the Qinhuang aircraft carrier formation because of their size and tonnage.

Those people who had been frightened and dumbfounded drove the fast boat and ran away without looking back. They didn't even rescue the marine soldiers who fell into the water, and this was also one of their original tasks.

When a warship sank, due to its size, it was difficult for warships of the same level to approach. It was either easy to hit it, or miscalculated the sinking speed of the warship, resulting in an accident similar to hitting a rock.

In fact, the small boat can't get close, because when the warship sinks, a vortex with strong suction will be generated due to the space inside the warship.

They were supposed to rescue those naval soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the vortex.

But now, they never looked back.

When they finally arrived at the port and stepped on the land with both feet, the panic in their hearts did not subside in the slightest.

Because they have seen how far the artillery of the Ming Fleet can shoot.

8 kilometers.

This is still not the true range of the Ming Fleet's artillery, but it is enough to make them want to do everything possible to escape from the port.

For them, it is truly safe to escape to an area at least eight kilometers away from the port.

"The whole army is wiped out, the whole army is wiped out."

However, many people stopped them. This military port located in the British Empire gathered a huge group of people.

In addition to the people of the British Empire, there were also representatives of [-] countries participating in this naval battle.

Before the Clippers ran back, they were all in a state of elation, and even prepared food and wine as if they were holding a dance party.

But now, they heard a piece of news that they couldn't believe at all.

"what are you saying?"

"How could the entire army be wiped out?"

"Has the whole army of the Ming Dynasty fleet been wiped out? Is it true that their entire army has been wiped out?"

There were noisy voices among the crowd.

They still had the last expectation in their hearts, but seeing the panicked expression of the person who came back, and the terrified and trembling body, they had actually given up any hope.

"No, it's us. Our entire army was wiped out. Our coalition fleet was wiped out. More than 300 warships were all sunk by the Ming Fleet."

The port suddenly fell silent.

The terrified voice continued.

"We can't hit them. Our warships and our artillery can't hit them at all, but they can hit us."

"15 minutes? No, 10 minutes?"

"We're completely wiped out."

"Their artillery has a range of eight kilometers, and their artillery seems to be firing every shot. I saw with my own eyes that one of our cruisers was bombed and sunk after only one shot."

"It's over, we're over, our fleet is over."

"They are coming, their fleet is not damaged at all, they are coming, run, must run eight kilometers away, no, run ten kilometers away, otherwise, we will all die."

He was supposed to be a well-trained elite navy soldier, but now he looks panicked, like ordinary people who dare not even kill fish. He saw 1 people being slaughtered in front of him, and the blood flowing like a long river, will Their bodies gradually submerge.

Panic emotions spread along with these terrified voices.

Most of the crowd gathered to celebrate, turned and fled in an instant. They knew very well what the eight-kilometer range was.

The heavy artillery erected in this military port could not reach a distance of eight kilometers.

In other words, when the Ming Fleet appeared in the waters near the port, they could only be bombarded by the artillery of the Ming Fleet, but they couldn't cause any damage to the Fleet of Ming Dynasty.

Some people ran straight away, causing more people to turn around and leave.

The personnel of the British Empire, who were originally full of confidence, also ordered to evacuate immediately as if they were ashamed.

The Royal Navy fleet that helped the British Empire forge the title of the never-setting sun was destroyed by another country's naval fleet?
What about the future of the British Empire?
Without the navy, would the British Empire have no choice but to live on this island?
No, so what if there is a new navy?

That is an invincible naval fleet composed of 15 battlecruisers and 50 battleships and cruisers.

"You stay and defend, I will go back and arrange support for you now."

It is impossible to let everyone escape. The importance of military ports is self-evident. If there is no defense, the army of the Ming Empire can directly land.

Even if the fleet of the Ming Empire didn't carry too much army, it wasn't enough to pose a sufficient threat to the British Empire with magical power.

But then what?

If this port is lost, it means that it only takes half a month for the Ming Empire to transport a large number of army soldiers to the territory of the British Empire.

The crowd who were preparing to celebrate the victory from the coalition forces fled in a swarm from a port in the English Channel to the direction of Great Britain.

From their point of view, the Ming Fleet will obviously take advantage of the trend to occupy the port where they are now, because the distance is very close, and because the defense forces here have basically been wiped out, leaving only the artillery of the port.

But what they didn't know was that when they rushed to Great Britain.

The Ming Fleet is also crossing the English Channel unscrupulously, the target is the Dover Strait, and when it arrives here, it can directly pass through the mouth of the Thames River and reach Great Britain, the capital of the British Empire.

As for the current Thames River, can aircraft carrier formations be navigable?

This question is not important, because Wu Yan never intends to drive the aircraft carrier formation into Great Britain, he just needs to shorten the distance between him and Great Britain.

When the Qinhuang aircraft carrier formation arrived at the Dover Strait from the English Channel, the shortest distance from the land on both sides was only a dozen kilometers each.

On the left is the British Empire, and on the right is the French Empire, both of which were declared war by Wu Yan.

Compared with the speed of an aircraft carrier formation sailing in the sea, the speed of transmitting messages on land is much faster.

Whether it is the British Empire or the French Empire, they have already learned the direction of the Ming Fleet, and have also judged the goal of the Ming Fleet.

"If you don't destroy the enemy's capital, you won't return it. These are his original words. He is coming to attack our capital, just like what he did to Dongpu. He directly rushed to the port of the capital with his fleet, and then sent the army to land and fight. "

British Empire, Great Britain.

Buckingham House.

Victoria, the Prime Minister, cabinet members, MPs and representatives from various countries gathered together.

Everyone's expression was very dignified. Being in the safest place in this country in theory did not bring any comfort to their hearts. Many of them actually wanted to leave directly.

However, they cannot go.

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If the British Empire falls, they will be next.

"How many warships do we have?" Victoria asked.

"It's useless, our artillery can't shoot as far as them, and we can't hit them at all. If we continue to send out the fleet, it will only be the same as before..."

Victoria asked again: "Can we hit them before they reach the Strait of Dover? What about the people in France? Can you hit them?"

The Minister of Military Affairs replied: "We can't hit them, and France can't hit them either. Their fleet will inevitably pass through the central area, which is more than ten kilometers away from our coastline and the coastline of France, which is beyond our reach." artillery range."

"What about hot air balloons? We also have hot air balloons, take cannonballs, and fly over their heads to throw cannonballs?"

"We have indeed prepared a lot of hot air balloons, but the bombing accuracy of the hot air balloons cannot be guaranteed. This is not like when we fought against the Ming Empire before, the military bases were fixed and their fleets were mobile. "

"The question I am concerned about now is, did they bring hot air balloons?" Someone asked worriedly: "If they brought hot air balloons, just like the war that happened in Ming Dynasty, they flew directly over our heads to drop bombs ,What should we do?"

The British Minister of Military Affairs said: "Don't worry about this. We also have hot air balloons. If their hot air balloons are going to fly over, we have enough time to fly to the sky and destroy their hot air balloons."

"But their soldiers' marksmanship is better than ours. Could it be that they shot down our hot air balloon first?"

"We have a lot of hot air balloons."

This sentence made everyone present a little relieved.

"If this is the case, then he can only occupy the port." Someone said: "I suggest that we should immediately build more fortifications to avoid being destroyed by their artillery fire. As long as we still have artillery, then they They can't land in the port, and their army can't come up at all."

"Yes, as long as their warships dare to approach, we will sink them. On land, the accuracy of our artillery shooting will also be greatly improved."

"Order immediately to build more fortifications and mobilize more artillery and army soldiers to the port."

After the order was issued, Victoria looked at the second elder, the representative of the Merlin family.

"You've already made a mistake once, and I don't want to see you make a second mistake."

Although he was a powerful magician, the second elder did not dare to argue against the threat from the queen.

Before there is no truly extraordinary power, the power of the world will always be higher than the so-called extraordinary.

Just like Zao Wou-ki before, he also wanted to hang out with the prince of Xianqing.

"We have prepared an army of 1000 to [-] werewolves and vampires." The second elder said, "If they want to forcefully land at the port and then attack Great Britain from the ground, we will make them pay the price."

Victoria said without hesitation: "Hand over the command of those people, you are not suitable for commanding battles."

"no problem."

"Also." Victoria said again: "Can your magic deal a blow to their fleet?"

"If we can get us close to their warship alive, we can sink their warship."

The second elder's answer disappointed everyone present.

live close?

dream you.

Someone suggested: "Is it possible to prepare hundreds or even thousands of small boats and bring them, these magicians, to rush to the vicinity of the Ming Fleet? Although the artillery of the Ming Fleet is very powerful, the small boats are fast and small. Hit by their artillery."

This is indeed a viable plan.

But the second elder refused without hesitation, and said: "There are very few magicians who can affect warships. We cannot afford such losses, because ground warfare still depends on our strength."

The Minister of Military Affairs said: "Let's follow the existing plan. If we can restrain them when they land, the magicians will have the opportunity to approach their warships and sink them all."

After the plan and related orders were issued, Buckingham Mansion was still very lively.

Many people wait here for the latest news, and feel that it is relatively safe here.

"The Ming Fleet has arrived. It is five kilometers away from the mouth of the Thames River. It is beyond the range of our artillery. We cannot hit them."

The new news made everyone nervous.

But strangely, they did not hear the sound of shelling.

"Why don't they fire? Is it because there is no ammunition?"

When this question was just raised, the people in Buckingham Mansion heard a roar coming from the sky.

Then, a roar suddenly sounded, it was the sound of a shell exploding, and almost everyone present was familiar with it.

But what they couldn't hear was the whistling sound from the sky.

Someone rushed to the window and looked at the sky, then was dumbfounded.

"What? What the hell?"

More people rushed to the window and looked at the sky. After being dumbfounded, they turned around and wanted to run away, but they didn't know where to run.

"It's an iron bird, there are iron birds flying in the sky."

Someone finally answered Victoria's question, and said in a tone full of disbelief: "Those iron birds... there are shells falling down, no, they were thrown down, and those bombs exploded."

"Iron bird? Is it a hot air balloon made of iron?" Victoria exclaimed, "Then why don't we let our hot air balloon go up?"

Everyone at the window looked at Victoria.

The military minister who also saw the picture in the sky had a very strange expression because of too many emotions.

"Not a hot air balloon, those things... are definitely not hot air balloons."

The entire city of Great Britain fell into panic.

Many people saw iron birds beyond their knowledge flying in the sky, and also saw those iron birds dropping some black things from their bodies as if they were shitting.

Then, the roar continued.

The world's first real air raid bombing appeared in the capital of Great Britain, the empire on which the sun never sets.

It was on this day that the sun set in Great Britain.
