In the fleet at the back, there were a mixture of bird boats, big sailing boats, and sand ships. In addition to sailors, there were soldiers holding bows and muskets in the cabin. There were two and one primary and secondary cannons at the bow and stern. On the left and right sides

, as well as large guns, strange cannons, mountain-splitting cannons, and sky-blasting cannons. Although they are not many in number, they are still full of murderous intent.

According to Fu Changan's strategy, Commander Xiong Yue, who received the imperial envoy's order, led his army to Fuzhou in person yesterday evening and was ordered to cooperate with the Qing fleet to attack the Northern Navy fleet on Changxing Island.

Launched an attack. Fuzhou prepared a fireboat overnight, sailed down the Fuzhou River, and stopped near the mouth of the sea. They only waited for the determined time to arrive before launching the attack.

The strategy that Fu Chang'an formulated in a hurry was actually quite complete. His plan was to use fireships to distract the Northern Navy, sail gunboats to approach and attack, and Fuzhou troops to quickly launch a boarding battle under the cover of the gunboats.

Unexpectedly, the Thunder God discovered the sailing fleet in advance and launched an attack. Therefore, although the time had not yet arrived, after hearing the sound of cannons from Changxing Island, Commander Xiong Yue knew that the situation had changed and immediately ordered

Fireships sortied.

Because the ships of the fire fleet were too small and there was heavy fog from the sky, the radar of the Thor did not show it until it drove out of the Empress Palace and prepared to turn north into the protrusion at the northeast corner of Changxing Island.

"No! Ding Guofeng, immediately notify all the soldiers on the deck to prepare to engage the enemy. The enemy has sent another fleet over!"

After that, he ordered the sailor on the side who was controlling the wheel to turn the Thor so that the bow that originally faced east faced the northwest, and then notified the gun crew on the deck to adjust the shooting direction. In this way, the four sides of the Thor on the right side of the hull were

With heavy machine guns and sandbag fortifications, the soldiers could shoot at the Qing fleet coming from the east.

However, as the Thor and Beihai 2 adjusted their directions, the Qing fleet took advantage of the gap in the bombardment and finally broke through the fog and entered within one nautical mile of the Thor.

So the blue and white hull of the Thor and the Beihai 2 next to it also entered the telescope field of view of John Jervis and Horatio Nelson.

"God! This boat is so big!"

"Send signal! Zhenbei, Dinghai on the left, Fubo, and Weiyuan on the right, form a double line formation! Jingyuan goes to deal with that merchant ship!"

An aide asked John Jervis at this time: "General, are we going to seize the downwind?"
