Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 27 One-sided naval battle
The second salvo of the main guns of the six super dreadnought battleships of the Independent Fleet brought one sinking and one serious injury to the Gisk Empire, and immediately made the face of the commander of the first fleet of the Gisk Empire even uglier.

Although the Second Fleet of the Jisk Empire sent many warships this time, and the battleships even accounted for more than half of the Second Fleet, the commander of the Second Fleet, Prony, did not come, so this battle outside Kangshan Port In naval battles, the Commander of the First Fleet, Nikono, is the commander in chief of the Gisk Empire Navy.

As a result, just after the naval battle started, one Dreadnought battleship was sunk by the Jisk Empire, and another Dreadnought battleship was seriously injured. No wonder Nicono looked so good!

What frightened Nicono even more was that the six warships fired by the Liuyun Empire should all be super dreadnought battleships, and the caliber of their main guns must be above 343mm, otherwise it would be impossible to fire at such a long distance, and the six super dreadnoughts The main gun of the dreadnought battleship also has an astonishing hit rate.

"Pimushka, convey my order to all battleships, turn the bow immediately, and get closer to the enemy's battle line as soon as possible to within 8000 meters! Let the injured Scimitar withdraw from the battle immediately!" The First Fleet Commander Nikono said in a deep voice to Captain Pimuska of the Holy Sword.

Pimushka's face was also not very good, he hesitated and said: "Commander, the fleet that appeared in the Liuyun Empire is stronger than we imagined, I think we should concentrate all our forces to deal with this attack from the Liuyun Empire. As for the Skystar Empire Navy in Kangshan Port, it is not worth letting us disperse our forces now."

"You are very right. Immediately let the six former dreadnought battleships, eight ironclad battleships, ten armored cruisers, twelve light cruisers, twenty destroyers, and thirty torpedo boats that are preparing to encircle the Skystar Empire's navy go to the main force. Come closer, with the strength of the Skystar Empire Navy, we will have a lot of opportunities to deal with them in the future!"

The naval officers and soldiers of the First Fleet and the Second Fleet of the Skystar Empire were ready to break out of the encirclement with the mentality of being righteous. After all, the naval strength of the Skystar Empire was far from that of the Jisk Empire.

However, what stunned the officers and soldiers of the Skystar Empire Navy was that after nearly a hundred warships from the two fleets rushed out of Kangshan Port, they sailed for more than ten nautical miles, only to find that the powerful Gisk Empire Navy outside the port had no time to deal with them at all.

On the bridge of Jianglong, the flagship of the First Fleet of the Sky Star Empire, Guo Gong, the captain of the Jianglong, put down the binoculars in his hand, and then excitedly said to Wu Zhi, the commander of the First Fleet: "That Su Yi of the Liuyun Empire The fleet actually has ten dreadnought battleships, the navy of the Jisk Empire has suffered heavy losses, will our two fleets join the battlefield?"

Just as the captain of the Jianglong, Guo Gong, had just finished speaking, there was another violent explosion on the sea, and another battleship of the Gisk Empire was blown into two pieces and quickly sank to the sea.

Wu Zhi, the commander of the First Fleet, said decisively: "The task of our two fleets is to break out of the encirclement from Kangshan Port. Now that Su Yi's fleet from the Liuyun Empire is holding back the Jisk Empire Navy, then our two fleets just take the opportunity to withdraw. To Wulong Port!"

Captain Guo Gong of the Jianglong hesitated for a moment and said, "Commander, Liuyun Empire is our Skystar Empire's ally after all."

Wu Zhi waved his hand and said: "Su Yi's fleet came to Kangshan Port to help our two fleets break through. As long as our two fleets successfully break through, Su Yi's fleet can retreat at any time, not to mention our Skystar Empire Navy. There is only such a small fortune in the family, it is better not to fight recklessly with the navy of the Jisk Empire!"

After Su Yi received the telegram that the two fleets of the Skystar Empire were not going to join the naval battle, he curled his lips and said to Wang Chengliang, the commander of the independent fleet beside him: "It seems that my worries are a bit superfluous. Under favorable circumstances, they were unwilling to join the battlefield, and they fled!"

Wang Chengliang smiled and said: "Isn't this the intention of Commander Zhenghe? In this case, as long as our independent fleet can defeat the naval fleet of the Jisk Empire outside Kangshan Port, then there will be one less obstacle in receiving Kangshan Port. "

At this time, Su Yi glanced at the Jisk Empire naval fleet on the sea, and said with a smile on his face: "It seems that there is no problem for our independent fleet to win this naval battle."

The naval battle has lasted for nearly two hours. On the side of Su Yi's independent fleet, only the Iron Duke-class battleship Chubo and the King-class battleship Deji suffered some minor injuries, but their combat effectiveness was not affected at all. The light cruiser and three destroyers also suffered some damage.

On the other hand, the naval fleet of the Jisk Empire suffered heavy losses. Three dreadnought battleships, four former dreadnought battleships, and six ironclad battleships have been sunk, and most of the remaining battleships are injured. Many battleships have almost been lost. In addition to combat effectiveness, other types of warships were also sunk and injured.

Dozens of battleships of the Jisk Empire and hundreds of warships of other types, braved the artillery fire of six super dreadnought battleships and four dreadnought battleships of the independent fleet, and finally narrowed the distance between the two sides to within 8000 meters. The hit rate of the main guns of the battleships suddenly increased to a terrifying level, while the hit rate of the main guns of the Gisk Empire battleships was so low that it made people feel a little hopeless.

In order to change this passive situation, the commander of the First Fleet of the Gisk Empire, Nicono, even ordered numerous armored cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers and torpedo boats to launch a suicide-like charge on the battle line of the independent fleet. Still nothing works.

Under the attack of the ten battleships of the Independent Fleet with multiple secondary guns and rapid-fire guns, as well as four large armored cruisers, four light cruisers and ten destroyers, the warships of the Gisk Empire launched a suicidal charge, and they could not approach the battle lines of the Independent Fleet at all. line, and eventually had to abandon this charge after losing more than 20 warships.

"Commander, we can't fight anymore. The hit rate of the main guns of the enemy battleships is really amazing. So far, 23 of our battleships have been sunk, and most of the remaining [-] battleships have been injured. The battleship has almost lost its combat effectiveness." Pimuska, the captain of the Holy Sword, said to the commander of the First Fleet, Nikono, with a bitter face.

The expression on Nicono's face at this time was very painful, "We lost, we lost completely! I never thought that our two major fleets of the Gisk Empire would be defeated by a third-rate navy like the Liuyun Empire!"

"Commander, the Liuyun Empire already has six super dreadnought battleships and four dreadnought battleships. With such strength, it has already become a naval power."

"Sigh—the Liuyun Empire is indeed already considered a naval power, and it is still stepping on the top of our Gisk Empire's navy."

"Commander, is there an immediate order to retreat?"

"Retreat! It is impossible for us to persist until dark before retreating!"
