On the morning of May 28, 3011 in the Tang calendar, a huge fleet was sailing on the sea, and this fleet was the expeditionary fleet of the Sharad Empire, which had been sailing at sea for more than two months.

Inside the bridge of the flagship Ares of War, Janis, the Admiralty of the Sharad Empire, turned to Rofeiye, the captain of the Ares of War, and asked, "Has the fleet entered the waters of the Flowing Cloud Empire?" ”

The captain of the Ares of War, Rofeiye, nodded and said: "Commander, the sea area where our expeditionary fleet is currently located should belong to the Yanmen Strait of the Liuyun Empire, and if we go a little further, we will be able to see the Yanmen Islands of the Liuyun Empire, but if we want to reach Xingang City, which is located in the south of the Liuyun Empire, it will take at least ten days." ”

Denis rubbed his hands together and said, "It's finally coming to an end of this long journey, it's best to have a fleet, which doesn't have long eyes, directly collide with it, so that the soldiers can stretch their muscles." ”

The captain of the Ares of War, Rofeyer, hesitated for a moment and said: "Commander, according to the telegram sent by the Imperial Admiralty, the hereditary baron named Su Yi of the Liuyun Empire actually led his private fleet to destroy the two major fleets of the Jisk Imperial Navy, and that Su Yi not only has two super dreadnought battleships, but also has six super dreadnought battleships and four dreadnought battleships, and Newport City is the hereditary fief of that Su Yi." ”

As the commander of the expeditionary fleet of the Salad Empire, Vice Admiralty Jennis, suddenly showed an excited look on his face at this time, "I feel that this mission is a little boring because the enemy is too weak, and now that the Flowing Cloud Empire has this powerful baron fleet, we can make our mission a little challenging!" ”

"Commander, that baron fleet has six super dreadnought battleships!"

"So what, our expeditionary fleet also has four powerful super dreadnought battleships, and four super dreadnought battleships that are more powerful than the Princess Alice class of the Anroba Empire, plus eight dreadnought battleships, eight pre-dreadnought battleships, sixteen ironclad battleships, eight large armored cruisers, sixteen medium armored cruisers, twenty-four light cruisers, thirty-six destroyers and thirty torpedo boats, our expeditionary fleet will definitely be able to defeat the baron fleet of the Liuyun Empire."

"I don't have any doubts about the victory of the expeditionary fleet, but that baronet fleet has six super dreadnought battleships, and if a fight starts, our expeditionary fleet will most likely suffer considerable losses."

Commander Denis smiled slightly and said: "The Gisk Imperial Navy has suffered a big loss at the hands of the Baron fleet of the Liuyun Empire, they are eager to take revenge, and after the expeditionary fleet arrives in the south of the Liuyun Empire, the Jisk Imperial Navy will send its main fleet to join our expeditionary fleet, and then form a joint fleet to jointly destroy the baron fleet of the Liuyun Empire." ”

As soon as Commander Denis's words fell, an officer of the Sharad Imperial Navy ran over, "Commander, captain, there are many plumes of smoke found in the south direction, and there should be a fleet approaching our expeditionary fleet. ”

When Commander Denis heard this, his expression couldn't help but be stunned, and then he frowned and said to himself: "Could it be that the baron of the Liuyun Empire, in order to prevent our expeditionary fleet from merging with the Jisk Imperial Navy, he sent the fleet to take the initiative to attack?" ”

Denis, the undersecretary of the Admiralty of the Sharad Empire, guessed very correctly, and the main force of the independent fleet under Su Yi was coming, including six super dreadnought battleships, four battle cruisers, eight dreadnought battleships, four former dreadnought battleships, six large armored cruisers, eight light cruisers, twenty-four destroyers, and five transport ships loaded with supplies.

In the bridge of the Yongxiang, the flagship of the independent fleet, the commander Wang Chengliang learned that the expeditionary fleet of the Sharad Empire had been discovered due north, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In order not to miss the expeditionary fleet of the Salad Empire, the independent fleet arrived near the Yanmen Islands two days ago, and the Yanmen Strait between the Yanmen Islands and the mainland is almost the throat of the northern waters of the Liuyun Empire.

Wang Chengliang immediately ordered Yuan Fan, the captain of the Yongxiang: "Let the four battle cruisers of the third warline, the Lion Roar, the Shiwei, the Shiyan and the Shiman, lead the six large armored cruisers of Feihong, Feiying, Feiting, Feirui, Feihe and Feichen, to form a fast battle team, along the Yanmen Islands, around the left flank of the Sharad Imperial Expeditionary Fleet, and cooperate with the main team of the Independent Fleet to fight, and the first, second and fourth warteams will immediately seize the T-shaped head according to the previously designed formation. ”

After the separation of the four battlecruisers and six large armored cruisers of the Separate Fleet from the main position of the Separate Fleet, five transports loaded with supplies also turned their bows and left the main formation.

Then the six super-dreadnoughts of the independent fleet, eight dreadnoughts and four former dreadnoughts, lined up in a long battle line, began to rush towards the upper right of the Sharad Imperial Expeditionary Fleet, trying to seize the T-head and occupy a favorable firing position.

After the Salad Imperial Expeditionary Fleet confirmed that it was the main force of the Baron Fleet of the Liuyun Empire that appeared in front of it, Commander Denis immediately ordered four super dreadnought battleships, eight dreadnought battleships, and eight former dreadnought battleships to form the first battle line, and sixteen ironclad battleships to form the second battle line, rushing towards the upper left of the Baron fleet of the Liuyun Empire, also trying to seize the advantageous position of the T-shape.

In addition, Commander Denis also ordered eight large armored cruisers to form the first guerrilla group, and sixteen medium armored cruisers to form the second guerrilla group, and then let these two guerrillas take advantage of the speed advantage to strive to go around the right flank or rear of the Baron fleet of the Liuyun Empire and engage in a dielectric battle against the battle line of the Baron fleet of the Liuyun Empire.

When dozens of battleships of the Sharad Imperial Expeditionary Fleet formed two long battle lines and began to try to seize the T-shape, the two guerrillas of the Sharad Imperial Expeditionary Fleet broke away from their main formation and sailed forward along the Yanmen Islands.

At the same time, dozens of transports in the rear of the Sharad Imperial Expeditionary Fleet turned their bows and sailed to the rear, hoping to stay away from the battlefield, and on several large passenger ships among these transport ships, there were 24,000 officers and men of three wings of the Sharad Imperial Marine Corps.
