If Lin Yongsheng experienced a desperate struggle, then at the same moment, Ye Zusi and Deng Shichang fought a battle with the greatest disparity in strength since they joined the army, Lin Yingqi's intelligence and Lin Yongsheng's telegram were sent to Ye Zusi's desktop at the first time, and after receiving the information, Ye Zusi immediately led the main fleet to sail north, and three dreadnought fast battleships cleaved waves on the sea and moved forward quickly. If there are no surprises, they will join Lin Yongsheng's fleet as soon as possible.

But at this time, there was an accident, and the second light cruiser formation in front of the fleet quickly discovered the uninvited guest! The Bayan-class armored cruisers, which served as the right flank of the Russian Navy, were also moving to the north with their followers! That is, now Ye Zusi's fleet is catching up in the rear of the other side. At this time, the two Russian patrolmen did not know their fate, and they were bent on helping Esen get Lin Yongsheng's fleet, but they didn't expect that the three dragons behind were staring at him!

"Huh?!" When he received this information, Ye Zusi was shocked in his heart, this is definitely an opportunity, it is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers, judging from the situation at that time, the Longxu-class battle cruiser was fighting with the Essen fleet and gained an advantage, but it was impossible to leave the enemy. Essen is not a person who can't fight to death at a glance, and when his fleet passes, Essen may run away and disappear sooner. At this time, the fast battleships of the Dutch had not yet appeared, so Ye Zusi thought that Lin Yongsheng's fleet was not in much danger, and he decided to deal with these two armored cruisers first!

However, in Ye Zusi's eyes. It's too easy to defeat these two ships, and they can't even attack, and the other party will choose to avoid it after discovering the Longtai battle group. But what Ye Zusi wants is to destroy rather than defeat, which is a bit troublesome, the opponent is an armored cruiser, and the speed is not much slower than the Longtai-class fast battleship, plus a long sea voyage and fuel restrictions, the speed advantage of Ye Zusi's fleet is very small, so if you want to destroy the opponent. Then you have to pangle your opponents, and preferably slow them down! The Longtai-class fast battleships will definitely not be able to go up, and the Russians will choose to run away even if they see one. 12 10-inch guns and 6-inch main equipment are not enough to see in the face of 9 12-inch heavy guns! So Ye Zusi handed over the heavy task of holding off the opponent to 4 light cruisers!

Except for 2 of the 6 light cruisers of the advance fleet of the Huaxia Navy, which were assigned to Lin Yongsheng's fleet, the remaining 4 light cruisers were all in their vicinity. Let 4 light CLs go up and drag the opponent? Although this method is very, it can still be tried, according to intelligence, the fire control of the armored cruisers of the Russians is relatively backward. The firing range of the 10-inch gun was relatively limited. So the safety is still guaranteed outside the safe distance, and the towing here definitely does not mean that it is dragged by stalking, it is okay for 4 light cruisers to fight warships of the same level, and it is to find death in the face of the Bayan-class. So in terms of specific application, Ye Zusi regarded it as a suspicious soldier!

What would you think if you were a Russian officer, and 4 light cruisers appeared at the same time and kept tracking? Especially 2 ships from their own rear, and 2 from their right flank? Regardless of whether they move on? Well, if someone who does not understand the Navy may continue to order the fleet to sail along the original course. But for Russian officers with a systematic naval education. This signal was undoubtedly dangerous, and in their opinion the light cruiser was definitely an outpost of the main fleet. Otherwise, a simple light cruiser will not take the initiative to expose itself at all and also track two loading cruisers, because all the reasons cannot be explained, no matter how powerful the light cruiser is, it is not an opponent of the loading cruiser, if it is reconnaissance, unless it needs to be tracked in order to guide the follow-up main force, otherwise you can leave after finding the target, there is no need to take the risk of following behind.

And then, when the two groups of light cruisers appeared in the field of vision of the Russian Navy, the Russians after a short silence, the two light cruisers with 2 destroyers tried to drive away the opponent, under the cover of the armored cruisers, the 4 Russian battleships tried to get close to the target, but then when they saw the two teams of four Snow Leopard-class light cruisers converge, they gave up this idea, and it was better to go up to death, than to follow behind the capital ship. The two sides sailed peacefully and soundly, and on the surface the wind and waves were calm, but as time went on, the commander of the Russian fleet, Rear Admiral Falk Hill, was already a little uneasy.

"The Huaxia Navy must have a purpose!" Looking at the light cruisers of the Chinese Navy about 10 miles ahead of him, Rear Admiral Folk Hill kept hinting to himself. Especially after receiving the telegram that the Essen fleet was discovered by the light cruisers of the Huaxia Navy and engaged the Longxu-class battlecruisers, Rear Admiral Faulkeshan was even more convinced that there was a powerful Huaxia fleet behind him that was preparing to attack him. Otherwise, the opposing light cruisers would not have been tracked all the time.

An hour later, when the Essen fleet sent a telegram again saying that he was about to lead the fleet to retreat, and let Rear Admiral Falk Hill lead the fleet to support the Dutch fleet, Rear Admiral Falk Hill came up with a solution at this time, according to Essen's telegram, Rear Admiral Falk Hill concluded that although Essen was defeated, the Longxu battlecruiser of the Huaxia Navy was still damaged, and if he could rush to the battlefield, it would be no problem to cooperate with the two seven-provincial battleships to eat the opponent, and even if there was the main force of the Huaxia Navy behind the light cruiser behind him, Then after the convergence of himself and the Dutch fleet, at least he is not at an absolute disadvantage, and he will not need to face the opponent's capital ship with a lineup of two armored cruisers like now.

And in his opinion, even if 2 fast battleships and 2 armored cruisers on his side still can't withstand the opponent, but over time, once the two Rurik-type armored cruisers join the battlefield, the firepower projection on his side will be overwhelming. Even if all 3 Longtai-class fast battleships arrive, 6 to 3 on their own side is still an advantage. Well, according to Essen's intelligence, he has automatically eliminated the Longxu-class battlecruisers.

"Change direction, send a telegram to the Dutch, tell us the approximate direction, and we'll go and meet them." Originally, the course of Mount Falk was to join Essen, but immediately after receiving the telegram, the fleet deviated one compass point to the east and began to sail in the direction of the Dutch fleet. And this change in course made the light armored cruiser trailing behind quickly inform Ye Zusi. At this time, long before the turn of Fokk Mountain, Ye Zusi's fleet had already turned in advance, and walked the inner circle towards Lin Yongsheng's fleet!

The operation of Falk Hill was not actually expected by Ye Zusi, when a fleet found itself in trouble, what was it most eager for? Naturally, you need to find allies, and they are strong enough allies. Just as people want to connect with friends immediately after getting into trouble, the pressure of four light cruisers makes Fork Hill desperate to join up with the rest of the fleet.

Essen is the closest to Falk Mountain, but it is obvious that Essen does not have enough strength to protect himself after the defeat, so the only choice for Fox Hill can only be the Dutch fleet, and Ye Zusi turned earlier than him after predicting the other party's choice, which undoubtedly shortened a lot of distance, one went to the inner circle and the other went to the outer circle, plus the Russian armored cruiser had a limited amount of fuel, and the long-term high-speed operation was very high fuel pressure for the Russian patrol whose endurance was not outstanding, so that in the event of an engagement, The Longtai battle group is very likely to have an advantage in speed!

In this way, according to the information constantly reported by the light cruisers, Ye Zusi commanded the fleet to constantly adjust the direction, and finally at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the lookout post of the fast battleship Longtai found the unclear shadow of the ship that appeared in the left front, and then the battleships Longyang and Longfei in the back also found the target, and 10 minutes later, the light cruiser in charge of reconnaissance also appeared in the field of vision, and the telegram reconfirmed the identity of the other party!

"Our prey has come to the door, let's get ready!" Ye Zusi looked at the Russian fleet that was still moving forward in the telescope, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. At this time, the three Longtai-class fast battleships were in good condition, and had been sailing at a speed of 15 knots until then, and did not use fuel for combustion, and the boiler state and fuel reserves were at a good level. According to the report of the reconnaissance fleet, these Russian cruisers have been sailing at a high speed of 21 knots for no less than 4 hours. This was a state of exhaustion for both personnel and equipment of the Russian battleship, which had been sailing at a near-limit speed, after all, the stokers of the coal-fired boilers were very hard. Especially when fully loaded, the cost of reaching this speed will be even greater!

"General, what do you see there?" In the command tower of the armored cruiser Bayan, a Russian officer pointed out the window and said. "Huh?" Falk Hill looked in the direction pointed by the other party, only to see three huge figures appear in his field of vision, at this moment, Falk Hill felt a buzz in his mind! As soon as it was dark in front of me, I felt like I was dizzy! The Grim Reaper, who tried so hard to escape, finally found himself! The Huaxia Navy does have capital ships to encircle itself, but it is not just following behind the light cruisers. At this moment, he regretted it but was helpless.

"Turn, prepare to evacuate!" Faced with the powerful force that he could not resist, Falk Hill chose to turn and leave, and at the same time gave up the attempt to join the Dutch fleet, because he knew that before he could join the Dutch, he was afraid that he would be beaten to slag by the 27 12-inch heavy guns on the opposite side! But just when he decided to turn around and leave, the light cruiser fleet of the Huaxia Navy, which had been following not far behind, finally moved!

4 lightly armored cruisers began to accelerate, from the original 21 knots to 24 knots! Taking advantage of the turn of the Russian Navy, the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, and the Russian escort battleships also left the main formation and rushed towards each other under the cover of 2 light cruisers. But two Dome cruisers and two destroyers were so vulnerable in the face of as many as 28 6-inch rapid-fire guns and no less than 12-pounder guns and 6-pounder guns!

Thank you for the inexplicable reward of the third brother of the book friend~~~. (To be continued......)
