The mighty fleet group shocked everyone.
Is this Long Yan's army?
It doesn’t look like it!
Ushakov's eyes flashed.
"General, the enemy ship is close to our range. Do you want to contact it with a semaphore?"
Flag Whisperer asked.
Ushakov smiled coldly.
connect?
What the hell is this contact?
He is the naval marshal of Tsarist Russia. How can he not know whether Tsarist Russia has sent reinforcements?
Whatever appears on the sea now must be the enemy!
He shouted angrily: "Get ready to fight!"
"yes!"
…
"General, the enemy has started loading!"
"Attacking?"
"They refuse to surrender!"
"All the cannons need to be loaded with shells, and all the shells will be poured on their main warships in an instant. There are more enemy ships than us. Only by being the first to sink a few of their warships can we be sure to win this battle."
Li Shunyi said calmly.
"General, you are provoking a war on your own initiative. The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs will investigate. We cannot bear this responsibility." The deputy general on the side reminded.
Although the Li Dynasty internally agreed to rush to aid Long Yan.
But in the international community, they are definitely still unwilling to follow the example of unknown people...
After all, the Li Dynasty was a small country.
They were still unwilling to formally challenge the Tsarist Russian beast.
Therefore, this matter is very delicate.
"Who said we started the war first?"
Li Shunyi chuckled.
"ah?"
Li Shunyi's words confused the deputy general.
"Remember, we just came here to mediate the war between Long Yan and Tsarist Russia. However, when our warships approached the Tsarist Russian fleet, the Tsarist Russian fleet suddenly bombarded us, and we were forced to fight back. , do you understand?" Li Shunyi said calmly.
"……yes."
Although the soldiers hesitated for a while, since the top officer said so, they could only do it.
If it were any other general, he would never dare to do this, but Li Shunyi did.
When he heard the news, he had already begun to study Tsarist Russia.
Tsarist Russia seems to be powerful, but what is powerful is only their land power. Tsarist Russia's navy is actually very average.
Although Peter the Great had been developing Tsarist Russia's navy after coming to power and even spent a lot of money on it, in fact, the effect was not very good.
In terms of naval strength, it is still not as good as those powerful countries in Europe.
Not to mention the current Long Yan...
Today, Tsarist Russia only has two navies, one is the Baltic Fleet in Europe, and the other is the Far East Fleet.
The most important thing is that the north of Tsarist Russia is the North Pole, and the North Pole is covered with ice, making it impossible for ships to cross.
Tsarist Russia has always wanted to occupy more ice-free ports, and this is the reason.
They live a very difficult life...
This also means that as long as the Li Dynasty can destroy the Tsarist Russian Far East Fleet, Tsarist Russia will have no maritime military power in the Far East. Even if they want to retaliate from land, they will have to pass through Long Yan's northeast, and Long Yan is impossible to let They came over.
Therefore, as long as they are bound to Long Yan, the Tsarist Russian army has nothing to do with them. If Tsarist Russia really wants to regain its position and transfer the Baltic Fleet from Europe, it will need to go around half of the world.
Although the Baltic Sea has a certain combat effectiveness, the energy of the soldiers has long been exhausted during the long voyage. At that time, they can wait for work and cooperate with the Long Yan Navy to completely annihilate this army. Expedition.
What's more...
The Baltic Sea is also very important to Tsarist Russia. They will not give up the defense of the Baltic Sea. A group of European powers are still behind.
The world structure is like this.
He had already eaten through this seemingly powerful Ushakov.
"The small warships are outflanking the turtle ship. The turtle ship is charging, attracting firepower from the front. When the turtle ship attracts the first wave of firepower, the follow-up large warships aim at the enemy's flagship and attack hard! As long as their command is eliminated, we will There’s a chance to annihilate them!”
What Li Sunyi wanted was not to defeat them, but to annihilate them all!
If this fleet is let go and they rest and recuperate in the Far East of Tsarist Russia, they may come back at some time. For Li Chao, it will be a sharp sword hanging over his head.
The Li Dynasty is at an important stage of development, and it is absolutely impossible for another war to break out in the country. Therefore, as a naval admiral, he must completely resolve this hidden danger!
and……
Li Shunyi was a naval admiral who also had great talents and great strategies.
he knows……
This battle will determine the future of Li Dynasty!
Will determine the situation in Asia as a whole!
It may even determine the situation of the entire world!
He can become famous with this battle!
Li Chao can also get a period of opportunity for development!
He is a general.
He doesn't want to get involved in the complicated internal struggles in the country. What he wants is victory!
Turtle ship, a low warship with extremely thick armor, was first invented by the Li Dynasty. At that time, Yi Sun-shin, the famous naval admiral of the Li Dynasty, relied on this kind of equipment to defeat the Japanese pirate navy.
Although we have now entered the age of firearms, and the power of explosives has been greatly improved compared to before, the turtle ship's ability to take damage is still not comparable to other warships.
As long as the turtle ship can absorb the first wave of bombardment, their naval guns can take advantage of the enemy's reloading time to bombard the opposing warship to gain an advantage!
What's more...
On their side, there are several Yinzhou ships supported by Long Yan!
The strength of the entire battleship group still has a clear advantage in Asia.
Li Shunyi had a good idea, but things developed a little differently than he thought.
Originally, he wanted the turtle ship to attract firepower, but he never imagined that the Tsarist Russian army had no interest in this "small and exquisite" thing.
Tsarist Russia did not regard this little thing as a warship at all. They thought that there were envoys or something in this ship and they wanted to contact them.
Their eyes have been on those Yinzhou ships...
A group of people were watching the excitement. Now, the soldiers of the Li Dynasty on the turtle boat were also stunned. Originally, they were prepared to be beaten. What would they do if they didn't?
However, after a brief hesitation, the turtle ship captain immediately came to his senses.
Their mission is not just to get beaten, the fundamental purpose is to start this war!
As long as they can absorb all the enemy's first round of artillery fire into their turtle ship, their mission will be completed.
Although the turtle ship is a "damage-bearing" ship, it also has certain attack capabilities. The turtle ship has hundreds of shooting windows and is also equipped with small artillery with a range of several hundred meters. Although it is not comparable to the main battleships , but it can also inflict pain on the opponent.
After the captain regained consciousness, everyone came to the battle site and took their places. At this time, the Tsarist Russians stood at the bow of the ship: they were curious about what this "little thing" wanted to do.
As soon as the captain gave an order, hundreds of muskets were fired in unison. An unexpected burst of projectiles killed dozens of Tsarist Russian soldiers who were watching the excitement on the bow of the ship.
The reloading speed of the firecracker is much faster than that of the artillery, and when the firecracker adopts three-stage shooting, its rate of fire will be greatly increased.
"What the hell!"
"be cheated!"
"These sticks!"
"How dare they sneak up on us!"
The turtle ships attacked continuously, catching the Russians by surprise. After they reacted, the Russians were very angry.
Suddenly, all surrounding artillery fire was focused on the turtle ship.
One shell after another fell on the hull of the turtle ship. Although the turtle ship was very strong, it was still riddled with holes.
Fortunately, after receiving a heavy beating, the turtle ship did not sink, which surprised the Russians.
They originally thought of sinking it with a second round of shelling, but Li Shunyi would not give them this chance.
After the first round of artillery fire from Tsarist Russia ended, Li Shunyi's fleet aimed at Tsarist Russia's flagship and fired.
Hundreds of artillery shells were fired at the flagship. Ushakov, who was about to direct the counterattack, was directly thrown away by the gunfire!
The Yinzhou ship's gunfire is naturally powerful.
It caught people off guard at all.
The flagship had tilted, and the flagship had no command. The entire fleet was instantly in chaos.
The Tsarist Russian fleet counterattacked hastily, but their accuracy was really poor, and their hit rate was not even one tenth.
On the other hand, Li Shunyi's fleet was neither impatient nor impatient, and fought steadily and steadily. They took aim before firing, and their hit rate was 40% higher than that of their opponents!
The fighting at sea was lively, but the fighting on land had stopped.
Just as they were about to launch their final attack on Niu Chaofeng and the others, they suddenly discovered that there was a fire behind them.
If this is the home continent, that's okay. What's terrible is that this is an isolated island, and those warships are their only way to leave here.
The warship was lost, and these people had no intention of fighting.
"General, their position is in chaos, let's go forward!" the deputy general suggested.
"Don't chase after the poor bandits. Our mission is to hold them back. It's not like an egg touches a stone. You only have one life. Although you are not afraid of death, don't cherish it so little."
Li Shunyi said lightly.
Although he also wants to annihilate the other party, war takes its time.
Ushakov is not someone who makes it easy for you to succeed overnight.
War is an art.
It needs to be designed slowly, polished slowly, and tasted slowly.
