Prompt: The image depicts a tumultuous maritime scene dominated by a fleet of imposing British warships. These vessels, intricately detailed, loom large on the water, their sails billowing in the wind. They are arranged in a strategic formation, showcasing their formidable strength and advanced naval technology. In the background, the skyline is obscured by the smoke rising from continuous cannon fire. The British ships unleash a relentless barrage upon the coastline and Chinese defenses. Explosions and impacts from cannonballs are visible on the shore, indicating the intensity of the assault.
