Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 11 Take the initiative to fight
At noon on January 3011th, [-] in the Tang Dynasty, Su Yi, who had had lunch, boarded the Bavarian-class battleship Yongxiang. On the bridge of the Yongxiang, he discussed some knowledge of naval warfare with Wang Chengliang, the commander of the Xingang Fleet.

In fact, it is better to talk about learning than discussing. In the original world, although Su Yi had been a soldier for 12 years, he served in the Armed Police Force. Naval knowledge.

Now that he has his own navy, Su Yi decided to study all aspects of the navy. As for the learning objects, of course He Yunfei and Wang Chengliang are two all-round senior elite combat biochemicals.

Because Su Yi has made up his mind to take Xingang City as his own, He Yunfei has been busy commanding the two infantry brigades and the recruited civilians these days to strengthen the fortifications outside Xingang City in order to deal with the next attack of the Star Empire army. Even in the future, it will have to resist the attack of the Liuyun Empire army.

After all, Xingang City is the territory directly under the royal family of Liuyun Empire. After the war between Liuyun Empire and Tianxing Empire, the royal family of Liuyun Empire should not be so magnanimous, watching Su Yi steal Xingang City.

If Su Yi did not have the three battleships and two large armored cruisers of the Xingang Fleet in his hands, even if he gave up Xingang City, Su Yi would not care, but now that he has these five warships of the Xingang Fleet, once the port of Xingang City is gone, These five warships didn't even have docks for docking, and there was no place to replenish the fuel and coal needed by the five warships.

After Su Yi took over the port of Xingang City, he found a batch of fuel oil and coal stored by the Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire in the port, which was enough for the Xingang fleet to use for a long time.

As for whether he can keep the territory of Xingang City under the attack of the Sky Star Empire and even the Liuyun Empire, Su Yi is full of confidence.

Xingang City is a port city. As long as the Xingang fleet can control the sea dominance in the nearby waters, it can provide artillery support to the army under Su Yi. Under the bombardment of large-caliber naval guns, Su Yi does not believe that the army of the Star Empire and How much of a threat can the Liuyun Empire's army pose to Xingang City?

The navies of the Skystar Empire and the Liuyun Empire are not very powerful. Su Yi thinks that with the five armies of the Xingang Fleet, it should not be a big problem to control the sea area near the port of Xingang City.

Wang Chengliang was explaining the "T"-shaped tactics in naval battles to Su Yi. At this time, Yuan Fan, the captain of the Yongxiang, walked up to the two of them in a hurry, "Commander, Commander, the armored cruiser Feiying is at a distance from Xingang City." About 30 nautical miles to the east, a fleet of the Skystar Empire has been discovered. It has been confirmed that there are two former dreadnought battleships and two ironclad battleships, and there are more than [-] warships of other types. Direction to retreat."

None of the five warships obtained from the system were equipped with radar, so in order not to be raided by the navy of the Skystar Empire, Wang Chengliang sent the two Minotaur-class armored cruisers Flying Eagle and Feihong to the sea, hoping that they could be dispatched sooner. Discovering the enemy fleet is now working.

The captain of the Yongxiang, Yuan Fan, is a naval intermediate-level combat cyborg. Currently, the captains of the five warships in the Xingang Fleet are all naval-type intermediate combat cyborgs.

Originally, biochemical people called Su Yi commander, but Su Yi was not satisfied with the title of commander, so he ordered his subordinates to call him commander. Su Yi felt that the title of commander sounded more pleasing to the ear.

Wang Chengliang asked in a deep voice, "Where is the Feihong?"

Yuan Fan, the captain of the Yongxiang, said immediately: "The Feihong is about forty nautical miles southeast of Xingang City."

Wang Chengliang immediately glanced at the chart on the table, and then said: "Order Feihong to approach Nanyue Island immediately to join the main fleet, and tell Feiying that the main fleet will wait for it near Nanyue Island."

Su Yi looked at the location of Nanyue Island on the sea chart, and then asked Wang Chengliang: "Chengliang, are you going to take the initiative to fight and place the decisive battle near Nanyue Island?"

Wang Chengliang nodded and said: "Commander, Nanyue Island is about [-] nautical miles away from Xingang City. According to the current position of the Star Empire Navy fleet, if they want to attack Xingang City, they must pass through Nanyue Island. Our Xingang fleet is here. Waiting for the fleet of the Skystar Empire Navy."

Su Yi took a deep breath and said, "Then order Yongxiang, Jianwei, and Jianyong to set off!"

Wang Chengliang hesitated for a while and said: "Commander, the sea battle is extremely dangerous, you should stay in Xingang City! Our Xingang Fleet will definitely bring back news of victory for the commander!"

Su Yi waved his hand and said: "Cheng Liang, you don't need to persuade me anymore. This battle is of great importance and determines whether we can have a foothold in Xingang City. I must go there in person, and I believe that the navy of the Star Empire is now We don't have the strength to sink the Yongxiang yet!"

At [-]:[-] noon, the three battleships Yongxiang, Jianwei and Jianyong of the Xingang Fleet sailed out of the port of Xingang City and headed straight for Nanyue Island in the east.

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, the Yongxiang, Jianwei and Jianyong arrived in the waters near Nanyue Island, and soon the armored cruiser Feihong also arrived here.

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, the armored cruiser Feiying appeared on the sea in the distance. Wang Chengliang, the commander of the Xingang Fleet, immediately led the Yongxiang, Jianwei, Jianyong and Feihong to meet the Feiying.

At [-]:[-] p.m., the Xingang Fleet and the Third Fleet of the Skystar Empire spotted each other almost at the same time. At this time, the distance between the two fleets was about twelve nautical miles.

"Can you confirm which country these five warships belong to?" On the bridge of the battleship Xinglong of the Star Empire, Li Dongyan, the commander of the third fleet with a telescope in his hand, looked solemnly at the captain of Xinglong Jia Zhongyang. asked.

Jia Zhongyang shook his head and said, "Commander, among the five warships that appeared ahead, one should be a dreadnought battleship, and the other four should be former dreadnought battleships, but from the appearance, it is impossible to tell which country's warship it is. , According to our information, these five warships do not belong to any naval power."

The displacement of the two Minotaur-class armored cruisers exceeds [-] tons. The former dreadnought battleships of many countries have such a large displacement, so the two Minotaur-class armored cruisers were replaced by Jia Zhongyang and Xinglong. The officers and soldiers mistook them for two former dreadnought battleships.

Li Dongyan, the commander of the Third Fleet, gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what country's warships, since they are all flying the flag of the Liuyun Empire, they are the enemies of our Third Fleet. Let Xinglong, Zhenlong, Sea Lion and Sea Horse, seize the prefix T, our Third Fleet will go through a tough battle today!"

Jia Zhongyang hesitated, "Commander, there is a dreadnought battleship in the enemy fleet. The four battleships of our third fleet can't match it at all. I think it's not as good as..."

Before Jia Zhongyang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Dongyan, "Although the enemy has a dreadnought battleship, our third fleet has a numerical advantage, and we still have a chance to win. This battle will be fought by Xinglong, Zhenlong The four battleships, the Sea Lion, and the Seahorse, attract the firepower of the five enemy battleships, and let our armored cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers, and torpedo boats surprise the five enemy battleships and launch a torpedo attack!"

Jia Zhongyang wanted to say something more, but Li Dongyan then said in a deep voice: "No matter how powerful the enemy is, our navy of the Skystar Empire cannot escape without a fight!"

As soon as Jia Zhongyang heard Li Dongyan's words, he knew that this naval battle had to be fought. "The commander is right. No matter what kind of enemy we face, the Navy of the Sky Star Empire should not flee without a fight!"

Gutness, who was standing on the deck of the passenger ship, asked Liu Muqing, who was watching through the binoculars: "Muqing, can you tell which country's warship it is?"

Liu Muqing put down the binoculars, shook his head and said: "The distance is too far, and my binoculars are not multiplied enough, so I can't see clearly at all, but since all the warships in the Star Empire's fleet sounded the alarm, then the warships that appeared on the opposite side The five warships should not belong to the Skystar Empire."

Gutness immediately said: "Mu Qing, why don't we get closer, maybe you can see clearly!"

Wu Xuedong, the photographer next to him, immediately turned pale with shock when he heard this, "Miss Liu, Miss Guinness, don't get any closer, otherwise our passenger ship will easily be accidentally injured if there is a fight!"

Wu Xuedong is very regretful now, why is he obsessed with ghosts and agrees to accompany Liu Muqing to Xingang City!It seems that what my old mother said is right, the more beautiful a woman is, the more troublesome she is!
Liu Muqing hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said to Guness: "Forget it, the fleets of the two sides are likely to fight soon. If our passenger ship gets too close, it might be bombed by mistake, and Liu Muqing The captain wouldn't agree to that either!"

Gutness said with some disappointment: "Okay! It's a pity that I can't enjoy the confrontation between the two fleets up close! Mu Qing, which fleet do you think will win?"

Liu Muqing sighed suddenly and said: "Although I don't know which country those five warships belong to, I hope these five warships can win. After all, our Liuyun Empire is at war with the Skystar Empire."

"However, the fleet of the Sky Star Empire has more than 30 warships, while the fleet on the opposite side only has five ships."

"Genice, in naval battles, numbers don't necessarily determine the final outcome!"

Standing on the bridge of the Bavarian-class battleship Yongxiang, seeing dozens of warships of the Skystar Empire in the distance through the observation ship, Su Yi put down the binoculars in his hand, and asked Wang Chengliang a little nervously: "The number of warships on the other side is at least With more than thirty ships, can we win?"

Wang Chengliang said confidently: "Don't worry, Commander, our Xingang Fleet has a giant like the Yongxiang, and we will definitely win the first battle!"
