Chapter 177: Operation Ship Capture

Just as the birthday dinner of the Admiral Minister Liu Huaizhong was held, groups of officers and soldiers of the Royal Army of the Liuyun Empire began to enter the various batteries in the port of Huitong Port.

After the Royal Navy Liuyun Fleet of the Salad entered Huitong Port, it forcibly took over the sixteen batteries in Huitong Port.

The 16 forts in Huitong Port are equipped with more than 200 coastal defense guns, of which more than 70 are more than 100 mm in caliber, and the largest is 24 234 mm in caliber.

The Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire had also sent saladage and food mixed with medicine to the officers and men of the sixteen batteries, but when a group of officers and soldiers of the Royal Army of the Liuyun Empire entered the battery, they found that many of the officers and men of the Salad Navy were dancing in rags.

At the same time as taking over the fort, a group of officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy and the Royal Army of the Liuyun Empire quickly began to seize the many warships of the Salad Navy's Liuyun Fleet docked at the port dock, and then the gunfire was loud, and many of the warships of the Salad Navy staged a fierce battle.

The hotel where the birthday dinner was held was not far from the port, and after the fierce gunfire rang out in the port, the officers and men of the Liuyun Empire's navy and army, who had been pushing glasses with the officers and men of the Salad navy, suddenly turned their faces.

Nissim, the commander of the Flowing Cloud Fleet of the Sharad Navy, looked at the pistol in the hand of Liu Huaizhong, the naval minister of the Flowing Cloud Empire, and the subordinates who were controlled, and shouted angrily: "Marquis, do you know what you are doing here? ”

Liu Huaizhong smiled slightly and said: "Count Nessim, of course the old man knows what he is doing, and I hope that Count Nesim can cooperate and order all the Shalad Navy warships in Huitong Harbor to surrender to our Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire!" ”

Nissim yelled angrily, "Despicable villain, you just wait to accept the punishment of our Sharad Empire!" If you want me to give the order to surrender to the entire Liuyun fleet, it is simply impossible! ”

A cold light flashed in Liu Huaizhong's eyes, and he deflected the muzzle of the pistol and aimed it at Boris, the captain of the Knight Super Dreadnought Battleship next to Nessim, and then pulled the trigger, and then killed Boris, the captain of the Knight with one shot.

Liu Huaizhong sneered, "Count Nissim, the old man doesn't have time to grind with you here, if you are unwilling to give orders, then you will have no effect on the old man, and the old man has to let you accompany this Captain Boris!" ”

Nissim didn't expect Liu Huaizhong to say that killing people would kill people, and his originally angry eyes were instantly replaced by fear, "Hou...... Marquis, you can't kill...... Kill me, I'm the hereditary count of the Sharad Empire, I'm ...... I ask to be treated like a noble prisoner of war! ”

Liu Huaizhong snorted coldly and pointed at Nissim with the muzzle of his gun, "Count Nissim, I don't want to talk nonsense with you, I said three, if you don't agree to give the order to surrender, then the old man can only shoot, anyway, the army of our Liuyun Empire has already begun to seize ships against all the warships of the Shalad Navy." ”

"One, two......"

"Don't shoot, I'm willing to give the order to surrender!" Nessim chose to give in to Liu Huaizhong's guns.

The operation of the Royal Army of the Liuyun Empire to capture the sixteen forts was very smooth, and basically the officers and men of the Salad Navy in the sixteen forts ate wine and food mixed with drugs, which caused them to hallucinate and lose the ability to resist.

And the process of the Royal Navy and the Royal Army of the Liuyun Empire seizing the warships of the Salad Navy was not so smooth sailing.

Because of the insufficient amount of drugs that can make people hallucinate, only the officers and men of the Sharad Navy on the seven super dreadnought battleships, six dreadnought battleships, and ten former dreadnought battleships enjoyed the wine and food mixed with drugs, so the process of capturing these twenty-three battleships by the Royal Navy and the Royal Army of the Liuyun Empire was relatively smooth.

However, most of the seizures of the other Salad naval warships ended in failure, and many of the teams that the Liuyun Empire tried to capture the warships did not even board the warships.

After discovering that the army of the Liuyun Empire had mutinied, many of the warships of the Salad Navy immediately began to pressurize the boilers, slowly left the berth of the dock, and headed out of the port.

Originally, at this time, the sixteen batteries that had been occupied by the Royal Army of the Liuyun Empire could completely launch artillery bombardment on these fleeing Salad naval warships, but Liu Huaizhong, the naval minister of the Liuyun Empire, asked the sixteen batteries not to fire at the fleeing Sharad naval warships.

Liu Huaizhong did not let the sixteen batteries open fire, not because he was ready to show mercy to his subordinates, but because he was worried that once the bombardment was launched, it would affect the warships that had been captured, and Nissim, the highest position in the Sharad Navy, had agreed to give the order to surrender, Liu Huaizhong hoped to force the fleeing Salad Navy warships to surrender to the Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire.

Due to the fact that many high-ranking officers of the Salad Navy had gone to attend the birthday dinner, the Salad Navy in the port of Huitong Port became a little leaderless, and the warships of the Salad Navy that were not controlled by the Liuyun Empire Army only cared about fleeing for their own lives, and did not pay attention to the warships that stayed at the berth.

After a large number of Sharad naval warships fled to more than ten nautical miles outside the port, the captains of these warships or the second officers who temporarily replaced the captains found that the seven most powerful super dreadnought battleships, six dreadnought battleships and ten former dreadnought battleships did not run out with them, which made the captains and the second officers who temporarily replaced the captains a little overwhelmed. Then go find out what's going on inside the port.

The high-level of the Sharad Empire, after learning of the shocking changes in Huitong Port, immediately panicked and didn't know what to do, but first appointed the captain of a large armored cruiser to temporarily take over the position of the commander of the Liuyun Fleet of the Royal Navy of Sharad, so that he could find out the situation in Huitong Port as soon as possible after dawn, and at the same time, the Sharad Empire sent a very strongly worded telegram to the Liuyun Empire.

Early in the morning of October 11, 3013 in the Tang calendar, Liu Huaizhong asked Nissim to give an order to surrender to all the Salad Navy warships that fled to Huitong Harbor in the name of the commander of the Salad Royal Navy's Liuyun Fleet, but was categorically rejected by Antosha, the new commander of the Salad Royal Navy's Liuyun Fleet, and Antosha sent a telegram back ordering Liu Huaizhong to rein in the precipice and immediately release all the captured personnel and warships of the Salad Royal Navy, otherwise all the consequences would be borne by Liu Huaizhong.

Liu Huaizhong didn't have the time to pay attention to the threat of Antosha, the new commander of the Liuyun Fleet of the Salad Royal Navy, Liu Huaizhong looked at the battleships with some excitement on the dock of Huitong Port, and couldn't help but say with emotion: "If the Royal Navy of our Liuyun Empire could have had so many powerful warships a long time ago, how good it would be!" ”

In last night's ship-seizing operation, the officers and men of the Royal Navy and the Royal Army of the Liuyun Empire cooperated with each other and successfully captured a total of seven super dreadnought battleships, six dreadnought battleships, ten former dreadnought battleships, six light cruisers, eight destroyers, and seventy-two torpedo boats of the Sharad Navy.

Because the displacement of the torpedo boats is very small, there are generally only a few dozen officers and men of the Sharad Navy on them, so many of the Torpedo boats of the Sharad Navy have been successfully captured, as for the other Sharad Navy warships that were not affected by the hallucination drug, in the end, there were only six light cruisers and eight destroyers, which fell into the hands of the Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire.

Tang Guoyi, who was following Liu Huaizhong, frowned at this time and said: "Marquis Liu, the officers and men of our Royal Navy of the Liuyun Empire are not very familiar with these battleships of the Salad Navy, if those Warships of the Salad Navy outside the harbor launch a counterattack, these battleships can only serve as fixed batteries. ”

Liu Huaizhong turned his head and said with a smile: "Brother Tang, don't worry, there is a news I forgot to tell you, the navy of the Tang Empire should be about to arrive." ”

Antosha, the new commander of the Salad Royal Navy's Liuyun Fleet, is struggling with whether to carry out the order just sent by the Admiralty of the Sharad Empire.

When Herris, the emperor of the Sharad Empire, learned that the seven super dreadnought battleships, six dreadnought battleships, and ten former dreadnought battleships of the Sharad Royal Navy had fallen intact into the hands of the Liuyun Empire's navy, he was furious and scolded the admiralty Gavril.

Emperor Herris claimed that even if he sank all these seven super dreadnought battleships, six dreadnought battleships, and ten former dreadnought battleships, he would not be able to cheapen the navy of the Liuyun Empire, and depending on the situation, the navy of the Liuyun Empire was likely to have defected to the Tang Empire.

So the new commander Antosha received an order from the Admiralty of the Sharad Empire to lead the remaining warships to counterattack Huitong Port, and asked Antosha to recapture seven super dreadnought battleships, six dreadnought battleships and ten former dreadnought battleships as much as possible, and if they could not be recaptured, all these battleships belonging to the Royal Navy of Sharad would be sunk.

However, Antosha looked at the only twenty-two battleships left in the Liuyun fleet of the entire Salad Royal Navy, and couldn't help but show hesitation on his face, you must know that these twenty-two battleships are all ironclad battleships, and the navy of the Liuyun Empire has captured seven super dreadnought battleships, six dreadnought battleships and ten former dreadnought battleships intact, not to mention that there are many shore defense guns in the port of Huitong Port, and now they are also in the hands of the army of the Liuyun Empire, and the counterattack on Huitong Port is like sending them to death.

At this moment, a destroyer in charge of reconnaissance sent a telegram to Antosofa that a large fleet of the Tang Empire Navy had appeared in the southeast, approaching Huitong Port.

When Antosha received this telegram, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered the entire fleet to retreat to the northeast.
