Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 189 The result of the pursuit

The five commanders of the joint fleet of the five navies finally reached an agreement on the retreat. Even the commander of the Sharad Royal Navy Expeditionary Fleet, Commander Genis, had to agree to the retreat plan. After all, the other four navies all After leaving, only relying on the remnant strength of the Sharad Royal Navy's expeditionary fleet, it is simply impossible to compete with the main forces of the Datang and Ziyue navies.

Of course, if the joint fleet of the five navies wants to end this decisive battle with the main navies of Datang and Ziyue, the five commanders must report to the emperors of their respective countries in order to obtain the consent of the emperors of the five countries.

In the palace of Meseca, the capital of the British Empire, Prime Minister August cautiously asked Emperor Penello: "Your Majesty, do you think the joint fleet of the five navies should choose to end this war?"

The gloomy Emperor Penello snorted coldly and said: "The naval battle has become like this, even if I want to continue fighting, it is impossible, 48 super dreadnought battleships, 24 battlecruisers and [-] dreadnought battleships , As a result, there are only seventeen super dreadnought battleships, eight battlecruisers, and nine dreadnought battleships left, which are equal to the most powerful battleships of our Royal Navy, and two-thirds of them are lost at once, not to say Is the combined fleet of the five navies far superior to the main forces of the Tang and Ziyue navies?"

Prime Minister August said a little speechlessly: "Your Majesty, no one thought that it would become like this. The strength of the Navy of the Great Tang Empire and the Navy of the Ziyue Empire far exceeded our expectations."

Emperor Penello waved his hand and said: "Forget it, since the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say anything else, send a telegram to Petrou and ask him to bring back all the remaining warships of our Royal Navy of England as much as possible. "

Like Penello, the emperor of the Inlob Empire, the emperors of Sharad, Noomi, Monia, and Rilland, whether they wanted to or not, also agreed to the plan for the retreat of their own navies, so the five navies joined forces. The fleet withdrew to the western waters at around 26:[-] noon on January [-].

And just when the joint fleet of the five navies began to retreat, Su Yi had already arrived at Huifeng Port.

At the end of the second fierce battle between the navies of the two sides, the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire forced the surrender of eight enemy warships, including a super dreadnought battleship and a dreadnought battleship.

The system rewarded Su Yi with an American Colorado-class super dreadnought battleship and a German König-class dreadnought battleship. In this way, two American Colorado-class super dreadnought battleships and two British König-class dreadnought battleships were stored in the system item warehouse. Prestige-class battlecruiser and three German König-class dreadnoughts.

On the wharf of Huifeng Port, Wang Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Great Tang Empire, said to Su Yi with a sad face: "Your Majesty, now our Royal Navy of the Great Tang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire have lost 25 super-ships." Dreadnoughts, 32 battlecruisers, 36 dreadnoughts, 29 pre-dreadnoughts, 54 large armored cruisers, 22 light cruisers, [-] destroyers, [-] submarines, and quite a few battleships Seriously injured."

Su Yi patted Wang Chengliang on the shoulder and said: "Cheng Liang, what our Royal Navy of the Tang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire are facing is the combined fleet of the world's five largest naval powers. I am very satisfied that we can fight like this. In terms of losses, the joint fleet of the five navies is much worse than ours. This time I have brought you two super dreadnought battleships, two battlecruisers and three dreadnought battleships. Just go ahead and fight, I am The strongest backing of the Royal Navy of the Great Tang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire!"

As soon as Su Yi finished speaking, an officer of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire ran over, "Your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief, the destroyer in charge of monitoring the combined fleet of the five navies sent back a telegram. The combined fleet of the five navies has already begun to retreat westward. We won!"

Su Yi snatched the telegram from the officer's hand, read it hastily, and then said excitedly: "The joint fleet of the five navies can't hold on anymore. This is the largest naval battle in history. After all, we, the Royal Navy of the Great Tang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire, had the last laugh!"

Wang Chengliang took the telegram, and after reading it again, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Your Majesty, in the two duels, many battleships of the joint fleet of the five countries' navies were seriously injured. I feel that we should not take it lightly. Letting go of the joint fleet of the five navies, we should immediately organize a group of warships to pursue, and it is best to capture a group of seriously injured battleships to make up for the losses of our Royal Navy of the Tang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire."

Su Yi said with a smile: "Pursuit is a must, don't forget how the two super dreadnought battleships, two battlecruisers and three dreadnought battleships I will give you come from, but you must be careful when you pursue, don't I fell into the trap of the joint fleet of the five navies."

In order to capture the seriously injured battleships of the joint fleet of the five navies, Wang Chengliang used the remaining main forces of the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire, even the two super ships that Su Yi had just extracted from the system item warehouse. The dreadnought battleship, two battlecruisers and three dreadnought battleships were also quickly filled by Wang Chengliang with naval officers and soldiers, and joined the pursuit.

After the joint fleet of the five navies withdrew a certain distance to the west, the remaining warships of the Monia Naval Expeditionary Fleet and the Rielland Naval Expeditionary Fleet were separated from the expeditionary fleets of the three navies of Inaba, Sharad, and Noomi. , turned around and prepared to detour back to the northern continent.

Thanks to the change of direction, the expeditionary fleets of the Navies of Monia and Rielland escaped the pursuit of the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire.

However, the expedition fleets of the navies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi were chased away by the pursuit fleet sent by the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire for four or five days. The remaining warships of the German and Noomi naval expedition fleets withdrew into a military port of the Sharad Empire, and the pursuit fleets of the Royal Navy of the Datang and Ziyue had to continue.

During this period, the Commander of the Royal Navy Expeditionary Fleet of the Sharad Royal Navy advocated many times that the expeditionary fleet of the three navies should turn around and fight again with the chasing navies of Datang and Ziyue. However, this proposal was rejected by the Royal Navy Expedition Fleet Commander Petru and Noomi Royal Navy Expeditionary Fleet Commander Porfi's rejection, they are no longer willing to lose more warships, and in the hearts of the two of them, they are still a little worried that they will encounter Datang, Zi The encirclement and annihilation of the navies of the two countries.

Four or five days of escaping all the way caused the expeditionary fleets of the Navies of Inlobal, Sharad, and Noomi to abandon many seriously injured warships, and even some warships that were too seriously injured were killed by Inlobal, Sharad, and Noomi. The navies of the three countries of Noomi were sunk by themselves to prevent them from falling into the hands of the navies of Datang and Ziyue.

However, during the four or five days of pursuit, the Royal Navy of Datang and Ziyue also gained a lot, and finally captured dozens of seriously injured warships of the enemy, including three super dreadnought battleships and two battleships. cruiser and three dreadnoughts.

Immediately, the system rewarded Su Yi with three Japanese Nagato-class super dreadnought battleships, two Japanese Kongo-class battlecruisers, and three British Giant-class dreadnought battleships.

The Japanese King Kong-class battlecruiser and the British Giant-class dreadnought battleship already exist in the sequence of the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire, while the Japanese Nagato-class super dreadnought battleship is new.

Japan's Nagato-class super dreadnought battleship, with a standard displacement of 32720 tons, a full-load displacement of 39000 tons, and a maximum speed of 26.5 knots. It is equipped with four twin-mounted 45-caliber 410mm main guns, twenty 140mm secondary guns, and four twin-mounted 127mm guns. Millimeter anti-aircraft guns, four 76mm anti-aircraft guns, an additional aircraft catapult and three reconnaissance planes, 305 mm main armor on the side, 75 mm deck armor, 356 mm main turret armor, and a crew of 370 people.

The Nagato-class super dreadnought battleship can be said to be the super dreadnought battleship with the strongest comprehensive performance among the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire. Moreover, the Nagato-class super dreadnought battleship is also equipped with three reconnaissance aircraft, which is equivalent to expanding the The horizon of maritime reconnaissance.

Three Nagato-class super dreadnought battleships were assigned by Su Yi to the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire.

In this battle with the combined fleets of the five navies, the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, the absolute main force, suffered the greatest loss. There were two Colorado-class super dreadnought battleships, two Nelson-class super dreadnought battleships, four Three Queen Elizabeth-class super dreadnought battleships, three Bavaria-class super dreadnought battleships, five Vengeance-class super dreadnought battleships, four King Kong-class battlecruisers, and three Prestige-class battlecruisers were sunk.

In addition to the three Nagato-class super dreadnought battleships, the two Colorado-class super dreadnought battleships, two prestige-class battlecruisers, and two King Kong-class battlecruisers rewarded by the system were also added to the first rank of the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire. fleet.

In this way, after the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire fought against the joint fleet of the five navies, it still has twelve Queen Elizabeth-class super dreadnought battleships, eleven Bavarian-class super dreadnought battleships, and ten Vengeance-class super dreadnought battleships. Battleships, eight Colorado-class super dreadnought battleships, six Nelson-class super dreadnought battleships, three Nagato-class super dreadnought battleships, fourteen King Kong-class battlecruisers, and fifteen Prestige-class battlecruisers are still the Datang Empire The well-deserved main force of the Royal Navy.
