The Li" can evacuate calmly, especially in the dark, both sides lost their accuracy in artillery battles. They are not as accurate as they were during the day! However, after the "Duer" sank "Super Yong", the confidence of the "Victory" was extremely expanded. After seriously injured "Yang Wei", he was unwilling to leave. He was stuck with the two cruisers, "Nanji" and "Nanxiang". These two cruisers with only 13 knots of speed "Victory" were not taken seriously at all. Even if they were defeated, it was still quite easy to run.

But on the other side of the darkness, the seriously injured "Yang Wei" had already surrounded the side of the "Victory" surrounded by seven small gunboats.

"Lower the muzzle, fire the gun!" Mishe, the captain of the Victory, commanded the battle.

"General, General Billy sent another flag whisper to let us retreat," said a correspondent.

Mishe looked at the rear and said to the communications soldier: "Where to retreat? General Billy hits four iron armored ships of the Qing army, will we become targets when we retreat? The two German cruisers here are not powerful. We can barely resist. Removing Billy's place is equivalent to dying. Order the flag-speaking soldier and ask him to send a flag-speaking to General Billy: The Duer first retreats to the Red River Army Port, and the Victory cuts the rear."

"General, I found a large number of Qing army gunboats on the left. It was less than 2,000 meters away." Another soldier ran hurriedly and said.

Mishe looked to the left in horror and cursed: "What? We are surrounded? The right rudder is full, and evacuate to the right at full speed."

On the other hand, the "Duer" faced the siege of four Qing ironclad ships, "unbeaten", "long victory", "triumphant", and "Juin". However, Billy fully utilized the advantage of fast speed and always wandered around the four ironclad ships. If it weren't for the "Victory", he would have fled back to Vietnam long ago.

"General, the Victory Honour is said to be cut off by him. Let us retreat first." said a correspondent.

Billy was on the verge of collapse at this time. Although the "Duer" was extremely fast, it always maintained a distance of about 2,000 meters from the Qing army's iron armored ship. With its own displacement of 5,700 tons and 153mm of armor, it did not suffer any fatal damage. However, since it went to sea in Vietnam in the morning, it has sailed for a total of thousands of nautical miles. It has fought for more than 10 hours, and the shells have almost been fired. Because of the original plan

The plan was a surprise attack from the southeast to encircle the Qing army. In order to conceal it, it took a large circle on the sea. Now the fuel has been almost consumed. If the Qing army is in circles, it is afraid that the fuel will be exhausted and the shells will be in danger of being captured after being shot. While considering whether to evacuate first, another communication soldier ran away and said, "General, the Victory was surrounded by dozens of Qing army gunboats and cruisers. It is impossible to break through, and a distress signal has been sent."

Until now, Billy finally realized the mistake of seizing his troops to surround the Qing fleet. He could no longer give up the "Victory".

Chaos Rebirth Lords the Another World http://www.77nt/23488/ Finally, the Qing army fleet followed it and would consume more fuel. When the fuel was exhausted, it would be completely finished.

The "Duer" flag-speaks: The "Victory" is cut off, and after the "Duer" is far away, it is allowed to surrender to the Qing fleet.

After typing out the flag, the "Duer" quickly fled towards the Red River in Vietnam...

After seeing the head coach's flag, the "Victory" was completely disappointed. They had been abandoned by Billy. Faced with the close attacks of many gunboats, a terrifying hole had been blown up on the rear deck of the "Victory". Before "Duer" ran away, he had already hung up a white flag and surrendered to the Qingshui Division.

Zuo Zongtang seemed unwilling to let go of "Duer", and led the "Triumph", "Juyin", and "Unbeaten" chased for 40,000 miles until he was sure that he could not catch up. He then rode out the flag-tongued back to sail. Four ironclad ships drew beautiful circles in the sea and drove towards the Kaohsiung Port in Taiwan...

In this "South China Sea Battle", the Qing navy sunk a total of 2 ironclad ships (including the main battleship "Elegant"), 3 cruisers, 7 gunboats, and 4 torpedo ships. One ironclad ship "Victory".

The Qing army lost two cruisers ("Yang Wei" was seriously injured and sunk when he returned), and 14 gunboats. The number of sunk warships was just equal, 16 each. But everyone knows what warships France lost, and what warships the Qing Dynasty lost.

The most important thing is that the Qing Dynasty gained the initiative in naval battles, and the remaining one ironclad ship, four cruisers and three gunboats, the French Far East Fleet, had been hiding in Vietnam's military ports and did not dare to move.

In the warm pavilion of the military office, Li Hongzhang, Li Zhen, Prince Gong, Prince Chun, Peng Yulin, Weng and Jesus were all sitting inside. The memorials on the desk were piled up, but no one was interested in reading. The tea on the table was added one after another, and the leaves were soaked white, but none of them noticed it. Every time there was footsteps in front of the window, the six people always stood up at the same time, but the submitted documents they sent were not what they wanted to read, and there was no news about the news they wanted to know.

There was another "kick, kick, kick" footsteps, Li Hongzhang's tea bowl trembled, and he looked at Prince Gong, but no one stood up this time.

However, the eunuchs who had run along the way were not as reserved as they were, and they shouted out loud: "Great victory, the navy has won a great victory."

At this time, everyone else in the warm cabinet had already surrounded him. After seeing the contents of the telegram, Prince Chun, who had originally looked full of sorrow, had the expression on Li Zhen's face as if he was shaking the clouds. Now France has only two main battleships in the Far East, and I'm afraid that even the port will not dare to come out. It will take at least two months for the new warship to be transferred. Their biggest reliance - the naval advantage, no longer exists. What remains is the decisive battle of the army. Even the naval battle with such a huge difference in strength has won. Can the army with more people than the French lose?

However, Prince Gong and Li Hongzhang's expression on his face were a bit complicated. The battle was too thrilling, but after lingering fear, he was infinitely worried. He barely won this battle, and the little emperor still didn't know how inflated it was. He would definitely continue the battle, but if he had to continue it, the foundation of the Westernization Movement in the past twenty years was completely destroyed. Now we are already hurt, and the French are just a drop in the bucket. It really makes people angry. If we drive all the warships over, we can really resist it.

"Does the emperor understand?" Prince Gong asked the eunuch.

The eunuch said excitedly: "The emperor knows. The emperor has been in the telegraph room. It was the emperor who asked the slaves to send it to all the adults."

"Where is the emperor now?" Li Hongzhang continued to ask.

The eunuch scratched his head and said, "I don't know that when the slave came, the emperor was still in the telegraph room."

"You go down." Prince Gong said.

"twitter."

Although the military was not very optimistic about the prospects of the war, there was no need to worry about it outside. On the same day, the Qing Daily published the news of the victory of the Yellow Sea Battle, not only sunk sixteen French warships, but also captured a big guy. The happy Tsinghua University students slapped their desks so loudly. The teahouses and restaurants were filled with seats, which made the owners of these shops make a fortune.

But if someone is happy, some people will be unhappy. Zai Lian came out of the mansion early in the morning to walk his birds, and when he saw the article in the newspaper, he threw the newspaper along.

"Damn it, I'm lucky. I'm not relying on adding someone else's butt. When will he be the emperor? I'll spit on him directly?" Zai Lian spitted into the newspaper.

The result of the Yellow Sea War also shocked the West. French newspapers said this was another "Trafalcon Battle". Western media exclaimed "the rise of another naval power" and "the awakening of the Eastern lion". More importantly, this naval battle had a profound political impact. Germany, which usually only regarded the Qing Dynasty as a money tree, also reconsidered whether it could cooperate with the Qing Dynasty in more areas, including strategic alliances!
