After discovering the attack of the enemy's torpedo boats, several cruisers of the Navy of the Kingdom of Krull carried out fierce fire interceptions, and then the secondary artillery fire of the battleships also began to intercept these torpedo boats.

However, at this time, when the naval officers of the Daheng on the Ansu saw this scene, they resounded from last year's Qiansheng seven-year naval exercise, and the imaginary enemy torpedo boat unit at that time launched a high-speed charge and finally 'sank' a number of capital ships of the blockade fleet.

Moreover, at that time, the imaginary enemy's torpedo boat force did not have the main fleet to contain and cover, and there was no cruiser fleet to help divert the enemy cruiser fleet, and the imaginary enemy fleet at that time was set to be in a state of absolute disadvantage, with only a few cruisers and dozens of torpedo boats, imitating the maritime power of many countries with weak navies.

However, in this way, the exercise fleet at that time also suffered heavy losses!

Today, the Orrs, with a number of battleships as bait and the cruiser fleet as a diversion, created such an opportunity for torpedo boats!

In the end, how much can these torpedo boats achieve?

Yes, they did not think that the Navy of the Krull Kingdom would be able to intercept the high-speed assault of these torpedo boats in such a melee, the only question was how big the losses would be!

The speed of the torpedo boat was extremely fast, so it didn't take long for the officers from various countries to see such a scene with their own eyes: A Type 3 torpedo boat produced by Daheng, which was only more than 70 tons, entered the battlefield at high speed, and took advantage of the chaotic battlefield situation to approach the tail of the Duke Buffy, a first-class battleship of the Krull Kingdom, and approached until it was only 200 meters away before suddenly turning around, and then aimed at the side of the Duke Buffy and fired the only two torpedoes one after another!

Immediately afterwards, the bow of the Type 3 torpedo did not return, and it dodged and escaped at high speed in a field of shells!

At this time, everyone saw that the fourth ship of the Harold-class battleship of the Krull Kingdom Navy, which has a standard displacement of more than 12,000 tons, is equipped with four 350 mm 30 caliber cannons, and has the thickest 500 mm main armor belt, and the port side of the 'Duke Buffy', which has the thickest 500 mm main armor belt, suddenly rose a huge column of water!

Just a few seconds later, another column of water rose from the port side!

The entire Duke Buffy was shaken by the huge shock wave!

After the water column fell, everyone could see that there were already two huge cracks on the port side of the Duke Buffy!

A large amount of seawater began to pour in, and the mighty Duke Buffy rapidly tilted at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Half a minute after being attacked by the second torpedo, the hull of the ship had tilted at least 30 degrees, and the speed of the water was too fast to even give the officers and men of the Krull Kingdom Navy on the ship time to react, and the ship had already begun to sink slowly into the water, and the sinking speed was extremely fast, so that although the captain of the ship issued an order to abandon the ship, except for a very small number of personnel on the deck and bridge who successfully dived, a large number of other personnel did not have time to jump into the water and sank directly into the sea with the battleship.

Because the battleship sank so fast, even most of the sailors who dived early were not spared, and they were sucked into the water by the vortex caused by the sinking of the battleship before they could paddle away!

The Duke of Buffy went from the torpedo attack to the sinking in less than a minute!

Then it completely disappeared into the sea, without a trace!

This scene shocked the warring parties, and many officers and soldiers in the other warships of the Krull Kingdom Navy, seeing this scene, many people couldn't believe their eyes!

The Duke Buffy, one of the most powerful warships on the contemporary Blue Star, sank like this?

And it was sunk by a torpedo boat with only a few tens of tons, which they simply could not imagine that it was real if they had not seen it with their own eyes.

Not to mention themselves, even the officers and sailors of the Orr Kingdom Navy on the opposite side were in disbelief, although they planned this torpedo attack plan, and also had a certain hope of sinking the enemy's capital ship, but they never thought that it would go so smoothly and kill the enemy's most powerful battleship as soon as they came up!

The naval officers and men of various countries who watched the battle from a third party were also dumbfounded!

They can't believe that what they see is real!

Duke Buffy, how powerful they know very well.

This is the most powerful Harold-class battleship on the Blue Star, and it is the only ship of this class in the world with a standard displacement of more than 12,000 tons, and is equipped with 350 mm and 30 times the caliber naval gun!

This is an existence that needs to be looked up to by the navies of all countries!

Because other naval powers are still tossing warships similar to King-class battleships, even if there are plans to build more battleships, for the time being, there is still no country in service with battleships comparable to Harold's battleships.

And yet such a formidable battleship, after being attacked by a torpedo boat, sank in just one minute?

This fact has left many people in wonder.

What shocked them even more was that the Duke Buffy was just the beginning!

Because not long after, two more battleships of Krull were torpedoed, and Duke Buffy's sister ship, the Kalia, was blown up in the bow position, but fortunately, the rift was not large, and the position was not a critical position, although the water ingress was not serious, and maintained a speed of more than ten knots

Another second-class battleship, the Count Carol, was even more unlucky, it hit a torpedo at the beginning, and it didn't say that it was blown open with a large crack and caused a large flood, but the huge explosion directly damaged the rudder, causing the ship to be unable to turn, and then rushed all the way north, towards the coast!

In the end, the captain was forced to give the order to urgently reverse the car and try to get out of the battlefield by retreating, but at this time another torpedo boat rushed up and sank it cleanly with two torpedoes.

When Rear Admiral Barrymeen led the torpedo boat fleet and retreated, in the fleet of the Krull Kingdom, two battleships were already sunk on the spot, and one was heavily damaged!

And this result is much bigger than the main fleet of the Orr Kingdom after fighting desperately for a long time!

This situation made the present people, including the admiral of the Orr Kingdom himself, feel incredible!

And the only ones who felt that everything was taken for granted were a few senior officers on the cruisers in the two Great Heng Imperial Navy, they were all people who participated in the naval exercises last year, and they had even experienced even more 'tragic' scenes than now!

The actual combat in front of them was far less tragic than the exercise they had experienced at the beginning!

At that time, the huge fleet of the Imperial Navy had not yet fought a single naval battle, and it was attacked by many torpedo boats, and more than half of it was lost...... They were successively sunk by the torpedo boats of the imaginary enemy, more than a dozen capital ships, including four battleships, and many were heavily damaged!

If it weren't for the miserable defeat of the blockade fleet in that exercise, how could it be possible for the Daheng Imperial Navy to completely change its naval strategy in just two months, completely abandon the close-range blockade strategy, and comprehensively change to the long-distance blockade strategic thinking, and for this reason, it did not hesitate to abandon a large number of capital ships that had been built and were under construction, and invested heavily in the construction of a new ocean-going combat fleet.

Now, the Navy of the Krull Kingdom has only suffered from what their Great Heng Imperial Navy suffered during last year's exercise!

And their situation is actually not so bad, after all, their fleet is large enough, there are many cruisers accompanying the capital ships, and the number of secondary guns of the capital ships is also large, and there are no strange rules to follow in the exercise.

Therefore, what happened to them, in the eyes of the admirals of the Great Heng Empire, was already lucky enough.

No, because of a large torpedo boat scuffle, the navy of the Krull Kingdom was worried that a group of torpedo boats would rush out of the harbor, so on the one hand, it ordered the cruiser fleet to defend it strictly, and on the other hand, it began to cover a number of injured capital ships and slowly retreat to the open sea.

And the main fleet of the Orr Kingdom also suffered heavy losses, and more importantly, after losing one, their cruiser fleet successfully broke through and rushed all the way to the open sea in the northeast, so their main fleet also began to retreat, and they also needed to return to the port to take a breath, if the time dragged on for a long time, and many seriously damaged warships could not be effectively repaired, I am afraid they would sink.

As a result, a battleship with the participation of dozens of steel warships on both sides slowly came to an end!

In order to avoid being attacked by torpedo boats, the navy of the Kingdom of Krull withdrew directly to the open sea, but this still could not get rid of the attack of the torpedo boat force led by Rear Admiral Barrymeen!

After the torpedo boat unit ran out of torpedoes and returned that day, it did not stop, reloaded the torpedoes and came back again, and followed the navy of the Krull Kingdom all the way!

During the day, the enemy cruisers were heavily defended, and Barrymeen could not find an opportunity, but in the evening, he directly led the torpedo boat fleet to launch a night attack, and launched a fierce attack on the main ships of the Krull Navy that had been heavily damaged and fell behind!

That night, the Kingdom of Krull was once again sunk by a battleship and a cruiser!

And the torpedo boat force led by Rear Admiral Barrymeen lost only three torpedo boats!

Even if he added the five torpedo boats lost during the day, he only lost a total of eight torpedo boats, and the total tonnage lost was not even five hundred tons!

But they did a great job of sinking three battleships, one cruiser, two battleships, and three cruisers!

The battered Ruhr Kingdom Navy was forced to directly abandon its plan to continue to blockade the port of Ian in the Orr Kingdom with capital ships, and all the capital ships were withdrawn to the southern ports to rest and prepare for war, leaving only many cruisers to patrol and blockade the open sea.

At the same time, they themselves are ready to urgently dispatch a large number of torpedo boats to deal with the situation!

This battle of Ian directly shocked the jaws of the navies of all countries in the world!

No one could have imagined that the mighty navy of the Krull Kingdom would suffer the biggest battle damage in the last fifty years on the tiny Orr Kingdom!

It is the biggest fiasco in the last 100 years!
