Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 92 The Independent Fleet Appearing Halfway
The four main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire were all stationed in Haixing Port at this time. Among them, a destroyer patrolled by the Second Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire discovered Orenza about [-] nautical miles away from Haixing Port. The huge fleet of the navy, followed by many Ziyue Empire warships in the port, began to increase the pressure on the boilers.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and most of the warships of the four fleets of the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire were activated to meet the Orenza Navy Fleet that was rapidly approaching Haixing Port.

At 3012:[-] p.m. on March [-]rd, [-] in the Tang Dynasty, on the sea about eight nautical miles away from Haixing Port, the four dreadnought battleships of the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire first launched their battleships to the battleships of the Orenza Navy. The first salvo of the main guns was fired. At this time, the battle lines of the two fleets were about [-] meters apart.

The eight dreadnought battleships of the Orenza Navy immediately responded, and launched the first round of main battle against the battle line composed of four dreadnought battleships, seven former dreadnought battleships and eleven ironclad battleships of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire. However, the eight dreadnought battleships of the Orenza Navy were the same as the four dreadnought battleships of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire, none of the first round of main gun salvos hit.

As the distance between the battle lines of the two sides narrowed, battleships began to be hit by shells. When the distance between the battle lines of the two sides was shortened to 5000 meters, the naval battle suddenly became fierce.

Although the Orenza Navy can be ravaged by an independent fleet, the strength of the Orenza Navy is higher than that of the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire. As a result, the losses of the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire are greater than those of the Orenza Navy. Much more.

The naval battle did not last long. At around 07:30 that night, the Orenza Navy took the initiative to retreat.

The reason why the Orenza Navy withdrew so quickly was because many battleships of the Orenza Navy broke through the interception of the Royal Navy of the Ziyue Empire, and braved the shells of many coastal defense artillery, facing Haixing Port. The fierce bombardment finally destroyed the weapons and ammunition piled up at the Starfish Port Wharf.

The purpose of the Orenza Navy coming to Starfish Port this time is to destroy the batch of weapons and ammunition sold by the Inroba Empire to the Ziyue Empire. Seeing that the purpose has been achieved, the Orenza Imperial Navy commanding the entire Orenza Navy Fleet Minister Mikhailo immediately issued an order to retreat.

When Liu Yongcheng, Minister of the Navy of the Ziyue Empire boarded the pier of Haixing Port from a dreadnought battleship, the fire on the pier was still not extinguished. A small number of weapons and ammunition were mostly destroyed, and thousands of people were lost on the pier in order to rush to transport weapons and ammunition."

Secretary of the Navy Liu Yongcheng smiled wryly and said: "Brother Yuan is really sorry, our navy has tried our best to intercept it, but... I can only say sorry."

Minister of War Yuan Lin nodded slightly, "I know the navy has done its best. How much did the navy lose in this naval battle?"

Secretary of the Navy Liu Yongcheng sighed, "One dreadnought battleship, two former dreadnought battleships, four iron-clad battleships, two armored cruisers, three light cruisers, six destroyers and seventeen torpedo boats were sunk, and there are many more. Two warships were seriously injured, while the losses of the Orenza Navy were far less than ours."

The Minister of War, Yuan Lin, then said bitterly: "Hurry up and report to Her Majesty the Queen. It seems that the Ministry of War has no way to build another one million troops in Suisheng City."

After the Orenza Navy left Starfish Port, on the bridge of the dreadnought battleship Crown, the flagship of the Royal Navy of the Orenza Empire, Grusha, the captain of the Crown, held a telegram and excitedly told the Minister of the Navy Mihailo Said: "Marquis Mihailo, His Majesty the Emperor has sent us a congratulatory message, congratulating our Orenza Royal Navy on their victory at Starfish Port!"

Grusha did not expect this mission to be completed with ease, and the losses of the Orenza Navy were almost negligible compared to the results of the battle.

Mikhailo said with a smile: "We fought well today. We sank at least one dreadnought battleship, two former dreadnought battleships and four ironclad battleships of the Purple Moon Empire, while our Orenza Royal Navy itself only had two An armored battleship, a medium-sized armored cruiser, two light cruisers, two destroyers and seven torpedo boats were sunk. It is indeed a great victory, and we also successfully destroyed the warship that the Yingluoba Empire sold to the Purple Moon Empire. That batch of weapons and ammunition."

Grusha, the captain of the Crown, immediately asked, "Marquis Mikhailo, do we still need to make such a big circle when we return?"

Mikhailo immediately said decisively: "That is necessary. We must stay far away from Anbo Port. Although our Orenza Royal Navy can easily defeat the four main fleets of the Ziyue Empire, once we meet Su Yi The independent fleet under his command, then we don’t have to go back to Port Leon.”

It’s really a good spirit, not a bad one. In the early morning of March [-]th, Mikhailo was still awake in his rest cabin when he was awakened by a knock on the door, “Marquis Mikhailo, open the door quickly! Well, a huge fleet has been spotted ahead, and it is flying the double-headed eagle flag of Su Yi's independent fleet!"

After Mikhailo hurriedly put on his clothes, he came to the bridge of the dreadnought battleship Crown, and the captain of the Crown, Grusha, greeted him quickly, "Marquis Mikhailo, the four destroyers in charge of exploring the way ahead Send back a telegram, and found Su Yi's independent fleet in the sea about [-] nautical miles away from our main fleet, among which there are many super dreadnought battleships."

Mikhailo said in a deep voice: "Turn to the west immediately. We must not let the independent fleet catch the main force of our Royal Navy of Orensa. How could the independent fleet appear here!"

However, what made Mikhailo collapse was that the main force of the Orenza Navy walked westward for less than ten nautical miles, and found a large smoke column in front of it, and soon a huge fleet appeared in the Orenza Navy's before.

On the bridge of the Bavarian-class super dreadnought battleship Yongxiang, the flagship of the Independent Fleet, Wang Chengliang, the commander of the Independent Fleet, took a telegram and said to Yuan Fan, the captain of the Yongxiang, with a smile: "The Second Squadron brings a The armored cruiser formation, one light cruiser formation, and two destroyer formations have already stopped the Orenza Navy, and this time the Orenza Navy will not be able to escape!"

Yuan Fan, the captain of the Yongxiang, said with a smile: "Actually, the Orenza Navy has done us a great favor for the Su Family Army. If the Ziyue Empire is really allowed to use the batch of weapons and ammunition from the Yingluoba Empire, and then arm it with millions of Lu Lu, maybe the Ziyue Empire should make some kind of moth again."

The corner of Wang Chengliang's mouth curled up slightly, "If it wasn't for the Orensa Navy to do us a favor for the Su Family Army, how could the Orensa Navy escape the interception of our independent fleet and go north safely, but the main force of the Orensa Navy is Don't even think about going back to Port Leon!"
