I want to ruin the country

James ordered the flag signalman,

"Tell them that all ships must be inspected!"

Dou Zhenbiao replied,

"We don't allow you to inspect, stop the boat immediately!"

It was very close at this time. When James looked at the Chinese ship, he saw that the soldiers were all standing on the deck like they were standing on a slope.

Some of the soldiers were aiming their flintlock rifles at them, while others were carrying something unknown on their shoulders.

He laughed. What idiots are you doing standing on the deck instead of operating the guns? Do you think you can fool us with your eyes?

"Tell them they can't refuse inspection!"

Dou Zhenbiao asked the flag signalman to answer,

"We protest!"

James pouted

"Don't bother with them. Get on board and kill everyone you see. Leave no one alive!"

He was too arrogant. He never thought that Dou Zhenbiao was luring the enemy deep into his territory and wanted to let him in to fight!

Even as they were talking, the distance had reached forty or fifty meters, and the British soldiers were shouting excitedly, preparing to board the ship and kill everyone.

Just when these warships were about to turn sideways, Dou Zhenbiao waved his hand.

"Fire!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom"

"bang bang bang bang"

All the unscrupulous cannons, bazookas, grenades and flintlock rifles opened fire.

Suddenly, the thirty or forty ironclad ships were blown to pieces!

The rocket launcher is so close that it can hit wherever you point it!

Grenades also fell like hail.

At this distance, a flintlock rifle is about the same as a pestle hitting the forehead!

A large ironclad ship is only about a hundred meters long, and a small one is seventy or eighty meters. If forty or fifty explosive packs were dropped on the deck at once, the consequences can be imagined.

A bomb within a radius of twenty meters can shatter a person's internal organs.

After one round, there was no one alive on the upper deck of the British army!

Not only was there no one alive on the upper deck, but many people on the lower deck were also shocked to the point of bleeding from their mouths and noses and died.

This really stunned the British army. What kind of firepower was this? It was so powerful that it could cause mountains to collapse and the earth to crack!

James was on the flagship a little further behind, and just as he was feeling proud, suddenly there were loud explosions and gunfire.

"Fire, fire!"

He yelled!

Needless to say, by this time the British army also knew how to fire, but unfortunately, only God knows how many people were still able to fire!

Dou Zhenbiao was delighted when he saw it and gave the order:

"Bazookas, grenades, and flintlock rifles fire on the lower deck!"

The rocket launcher fired from a high position towards the second floor, which was very accurate.

Boom boom boom! After a burst of explosions, there were only a few people left alive on the gun position.

Some rocket launchers were specifically aimed at the muzzles of British artillery pieces. Once a rocket was fired, the artillery pieces were destroyed.

The surviving British soldiers hurried to the other side, but it was of little use as they were being chased by flintlock rifles!

James was stunned. In just a few minutes, he felt the combination of heaven and hell.

What kind of weapon is this from the Chinese? It's earth-shattering. The key point is that these Chinese are too unethical. They just bomb without saying a word!

"Fight back, fight back!"

He didn't know how many soldiers he had left, he just waved his command knife desperately and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Dou Zhenbiao looked around with a telescope and saw a guy who looked like an officer on a warship behind him, yelling.

He called over a soldier carrying a bazooka, pointed at him and said,

"Send this fellow to his God!"

"Don't worry, General!"

A rocket with a trail of flame flew towards James.

James was shouting when he saw a guy coming towards him with smoke coming out. He knew something was wrong, but there was no time to hide.

"boom!"

The rocket exploded beside him, and James suddenly felt as light as a feather.

He flew up seven or eight meters high effortlessly, and then his body broke into several parts and scattered on the ground.

Until his death, he never understood why he lost.

How could a dignified imperial general die from a rocket if he wasn't greedy?

Should!

Without the command of their flagship, the British army had no idea what to do and had to run back.

But more than a dozen warships could not escape and were stranded!

"Chase and beat him!"

Dou Zhenbiao cannot let the rest of the warships run away. If they run too far, their cannons will be useful!

This led to a strange phenomenon: a bunch of lagging sailing ships chased after a dozen ironclad ships.

After all, steamships can start faster than sailboats, so the British were getting further and further away.

The grenades were out of reach, and gradually the unscrupulous cannons were also out of reach. The rocket launcher had a range of more than 900 meters for hitting surface targets, but it still fired "boom boom boom".

These dozens of ironclad ships were already a sea of ​​fire, with thick smoke billowing out.

After chasing for a long distance, four or five warships stopped because their power was damaged.

There were only a dozen or so warships left running desperately. No one knew how many British troops were still on them, but they had no time to fire.

The guns on Dou Zhenbiao's ship fired. At such a close distance, two-thirds of the cannonballs hit the ironclad ship.

Three or four warships attacked one, and finally the British warship was riddled with holes.

The British army could no longer hold on, they collapsed and finally raised the white flag of surrender.

Dou Zhenbiao ordered,

"Clear the battlefield and kill anyone who jumps into the sea!"

After more than two hours, all the remaining British troops on the warships were finally captured, with only more than 400 people.

After capturing and interrogating the prisoners, it turned out that they were from the Royal Navy stationed in India.

Dou Zhenbiao was in a dilemma. He asked Prince Gong,

"My Lord, what should we do with these prisoners?"

At this time, Prince Gong showed rare calmness.

"Will there be trouble if we keep them?"

Dou Zhenbiao said,

"Of course. If we destroyed a fleet and they found out about it in England, they would steam and eat us all!"

Li Hongzhang said,

"Your Highness, we are going to England. This news must not be leaked out. Otherwise, we might as well turn back!"

Prince Gong gritted his teeth and

"It's impossible to go back. How can I explain this to the Emperor when I get home? General Dou, if we deal with all the prisoners, can you guarantee that the news won't leak out?"

Dou Zhenbiao said,

"I'm not absolutely sure, but if I don't do this, there's really no way to keep it secret!"

Prince Gong's forehead was sweating. The lives of hundreds of British soldiers were not a big deal.

If we are not careful, these people might die in a foreign country!

Dou Zhenbiao looked at Prince Gong's uncertain expression and said,

"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm cruel, but these guys must die!

First of all, these guys are so evil. They are obviously from the British navy but they pretend to be pirates!

This is because we won. If we lost, they would definitely kill us all!

The Royal Navy could not afford the scandal of being pirates.

Secondly, if we let the person go alive and the news leaks out, I’m afraid that none of the more than 20,000 people in our fleet will be able to return!

There's no other way, I have to leave no trace, let him become a headless case so I can grit my teeth and deny it."
