After more than two hours of fierce pursuit, the Russian Pacific Fleet was about to catch up with the North Korean fleet, but at this time, the Russian flank suddenly appeared with traces of the North Sea Fleet, although this is only a sub-fleet of the North Sea Fleet, but it is enough to arouse the vigilance of the Russians.

Faced with such a situation, the Russians began to hesitate. The Russians had two options to choose from, one was to fight the enemy fleet, and the other was to turn around and flee back to Vladivostok as a shrunken turtle.

If there is a decisive battle with the enemy, the Russians have no certainty of victory, although now only a detachment of the North Sea Fleet appears, and the Russians can also deal with it, but as soon as the main force of the North Sea Fleet arrives, unless God forbids, the Russians have no hope of winning at all, which is a fact that the Russians themselves do not want to believe, but if they do not want to believe, they have to believe it, after all, the strength is there.

If it escapes back to Vladivostok as a shrinking turtle, the North Sea Fleet will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue and blockade Vladivostok, which will be tantamount to giving up sea supremacy. A navy hiding in the harbor became a nominal navy.

Such a result is unacceptable to the proud polar bear, the defeat of the Russian army on the land battlefield is a foregone conclusion, and if the Pacific Fleet retreats without a fight, then Tsarist Russia will no longer have any hope of reversing. Take a risk, and if you win by chance, then the Russians still have hope of turning defeat into victory, so the Russians decided to take a risk.

The Russian Pacific Fleet decided that the right flank fleet would be responsible for blocking the third detachment of the North Sea Fleet, while the main force of the Russian army would be responsible for besieging the weaker North Korean fleet, hoping to defeat the North Korean fleet first.

At noon that day, with the first cannon shots, the battle officially broke out. The Russian Pacific Fleet attempted to completely defeat the North Korean fleet before the arrival of the North Sea Fleet. Although the total tonnage of the North Korean fleet is not small, the real combat effectiveness is not very good, except for a handful of warships with a certain combat effectiveness. Most of the remaining warships are old ships that have been eliminated from China, and their strength is far from that of the Russian Pacific Fleet.

The North Koreans also know that they have a few catties and taels, and in order to preserve their strength, they just blindly fight with the Russian army and try to avoid fighting with the Russian army. In this way, in a naval battle of just over an hour, three destroyers and one ironclad ship of the North Korean fleet were sunk by the Russian army. And the Russian side paid the price for only one destroyer, which was also sunk by the Third Fleet of the North Sea Fleet. Since the Russian army concentrated its main forces against the North Korean fleet, the third squadron had a slight upper hand.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the Russian Pacific Fleet suddenly discovered that the main forces of the North Sea Fleet suddenly appeared behind them. The Russian Pacific Fleet panicked. He hastily stopped the siege of the Korean fleet and gathered his strength to prevent being attacked from both sides by the Chinese fleet.

But by this time it was already late, and at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the Chinese fleet launched a siege of the Russian Pacific Fleet. In this naval battle that went down in history, the new battleships of the Chinese Empire played a vital role. The ferocious firepower of the two battleships, the Huaxia and the Imperial, dealt a heavy blow to the enemy ships. The fierce battle continued until five o'clock in the afternoon, when the Russian Pacific Fleet was finally defeated and concentrated its main forces to break through in the direction of Vladivostok.

Ren Chao sat in an armored car, as the large force was advancing in the direction of Vladivostok. Ren Chao leaned against the soft backrest. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had fallen asleep. Suddenly, there was a screeching sound of brakes, and the armored car slowly stopped.

"What's going on?" Ren Chao didn't raise his eyelids and asked casually.

Ye Feng, who was sitting next to him, opened the car door, and after a staff officer outside the door gave a military salute, he handed a telegram to Ye Feng. Ye Feng glanced at the dim light in the car, and said excitedly, "Your Majesty!" Good news! The North Sea Fleet sent good news. ”

When Ren Chao heard this, he immediately sat up straight. He snatched the telegram and looked at it carefully.

Ye Feng next to him said excitedly, "Today, our North Sea Fleet and the North Korean Fleet encountered the main force of the Russian Pacific Fleet in the outer waters of Ussuri Bay. After several hours of fierce fighting, it successfully sank 12 Russian main warships, including the Russian battleships Petropavlovsk, Poltava and Sevastopol, with a total tonnage of more than 100,000 tons. The flagship of the Russian Pacific fleet, the Yevstafi, the battleship Crown Prince and other battleships were heavily damaged. The remnants of the Russian Pacific Fleet took advantage of the darkness and fled back to the port of Vladivostok in a hurry. At present, the Chinese naval fleet is trying to blockade the Ussuri Bay to prevent the Russian Pacific Fleet from breaking through and escaping. ”

"Good! That's great! Ren Chao said excitedly. However, the Korean fleet suffered heavy losses in this battle! A total of two ironclad cruisers and five destroyers were lost successively, with a total tonnage of 30,000 tons. The rest of the ships were also damaged. And our North Sea Fleet lost only one destroyer, and several more ships were damaged. ”

"Despite this, after this war, the Russian Pacific Fleet suffered heavy losses and was no longer able to fight with our Chinese Navy, so that our Chinese Navy could firmly grasp the sea supremacy, so that under the joint attack of our navy and army, Vladivostok was at your fingertips!" Ye Feng said excitedly.

Ren Chao smiled and nodded, "What about Lao Maozi's five battleships?" If we can successfully capture Vladivostok and take these five battleships, we can further enhance the strength of our navy. The Korean fleet suffered heavy losses in this battle, so inform the North Korean side that if they can capture Vladivostok and successfully capture the Russian warships, they can allocate two of the battleships to the Korean Navy. ”

"Command!" Ye Feng replied respectfully.

"In addition, the North Sea Fleet and the North Korean Fleet will be commended, so that they can make persistent efforts and make new achievements!" Ren Chao said with a smile.

"Obey the order!" Ye Feng hurriedly responded. Then he got out of the car and ordered someone to convey the order, and after a while, Ye Feng continued to return to the car.

"Your Majesty, the palace has been prepared for Your Majesty not far ahead, and now it's not early, so it's better to go back to the palace as soon as possible to rest!" Ye Feng said respectfully.

Ren Chao waved his hand and said, "Don't go to the palace, continue to hurry!" All the troops were rushing overnight, and we had to rush overnight to get to the front as best we could. ”

"Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand gold, you should take good care of your body, Weichen dares to ask His Majesty to go back to the palace to rest, although the palace conditions are poor, but it is better than this car." Ye Feng hurriedly persuaded.

"Okay, you don't have to persuade me anymore, it's good in this car, I'll just be in this car for one night." Ren Chao waved his hand and said, closing his eyes and leaning on the back of the chair.

Seeing this, Ye Feng couldn't say anything, so he could only turn his head and tell the driver, "Keep going!" (To be continued......)
