Chapter Ninety-Nine: Fishing the Rawag Fleet
Chapter Ninety-Nine: Luring the Ravag Fleet
Lasag's British fleet was all out, with a total of four second-class warships, 10 third-class warships, 20 fourth-class warships, and a large number of auxiliary ships such as brigs. After they left the port, the main battleships of the fourth level and above immediately formed an advance formation and sailed towards the battlering area, and the other battleships protected the surroundings of the capital ship group and tried their best to find the enemy's ambush fleet.
After Gangzi sailed out of the British fleet in Laoag, he also led the Jimo fleet to move.
"Attention of all departments, the British Far East Fleet Laoag Division has come out, all warships have given up the engagement with the Philippine Navy, the fleet is resting and moving westward, we will introduce the Laoag fleet into the Dahan South China Sea and then continue the attack."
"No, big brother!"
Gangzi's intention to engage the British Far East Fleet was revealed, which immediately caused surprise among the departments, although the other side was only a detachment of the Far East Fleet, but two second-class warships and so many third- and fourth-class warships were not something they could handle now. As the closest junior brother to Gangzi, Li Youtai was the first to express his surprise.
Sanchihonliu Sakura was also surprised that he and Gangzi actually did something against the British Far East Fleet this time, although they knew that he was about to form the "One Piece" fleet and understood that he would definitely have a backhand, but even if they formed the "One Piece" fleet now, the British Far East Fleet was also the existence they looked up to. "Why did Gangzi dare to go to war with the British?" It just so happened that the fast-talking Li Youtai shouted out everyone's questions, so Sanchihonliu Sakura listened to Gangzi's words while directing the fleet to withdraw from the battle.
The Laoag fleet has already come out, and Gangzi has nothing to hide: "Of course we can't fight with the entire British Far East Fleet, but it's just the Laoag fleet, you can still eat it by gritting your teeth, don't worry!" I won't fight the Lawag fleet with such a few ships, the Langya fleet is already in ambush on the battlefield of my choice. The Laoag fleet is already a good dumpling, just waiting for us to eat. ”
Gangzi's explanation is not convincing, after all, the size of the Langya fleet can be seen through the naval battle of Hawaii. Five fourth-rank three-masted battleships could not be an opponent of the Lawag fleet in any case.
But since Gangzi is willing to play, the big guy has to accompany him. Anyway, Gangzi's family has a big business, and they are still guarding Jimo Port, and the fleet can't be defeated if the big brother is gone, and the younger brother can't lose. "The eldest brother's character has always been strong, and he did it with the eldest brother, and after the fight, the eldest brother can compensate for the loss."
Li Youtai shouted everyone's hearts.
"No problem, if you win, you will pay dividends, and if you lose, you will lose your brother. The worries of the brother will be solved by you, and when the war starts, don't drop the chain for the brother, today the brother will give the British Navy a slap in the face, so that they know that they will have to pay it back sooner or later; If you pretend to be too high, you will be struck by lightning; If you float on the sea for a long time, you will be hit by bricks, and the pimple of the Pacific Ocean is what my brother said. ”
Everyone shouted: "Big brother is so literate!" ”
At this time, the warships had already left the battle, and the Philippine Navy, which was lucky, had no intention of staying, and immediately ran towards the port of Laoag with full sails, and the embarrassed appearance was despised by the British fleet that caught up: "It is really a shame for the navy to be beaten like this by the civilian fleet." ”
The task of rescuing the Philippine Navy was completed, but the British LaAg fleet continued to move forward without any signs of return. "The Admiral's order was clear, 'Destroy these pirates,' and the Ravag fleet moved on. If the pirates dare not go to war with us, we will chase them into the Han ports, and then we will have a reason to go to war with the Han State. ”
Gangzi piloted the "Flying Henan People" to join the main fleet of the coalition forces, and all the Dahan fifth-class warships and high-speed dhows of the Jimo fleet have been sent out. According to the management of the Gangzi naval battle, first ensure the intelligence superiority of your own side, and then talk about the duel of the main forces.
In terms of low-level warships, Gangzi is much higher than the British Navy. In the naval battle of Zhaogong Island, where the Jimo fleet led by Gangzi and the original Langya fleet, the superior performance of the high-speed dhow battleship it owned in the peripheral war made this kind of warship enter the eyes of the navies of various countries. Although Gangzi only sells a reduced version of the speed-enhanced dhow, the orders that have come in have doubled the shipyards in the Applegas Islands, and it is not enough to satisfy the appetite of the navies of various countries.
The arrogant British Navy, however, disdained to order ships from any non-British shipyard. While urging the Plymouth Ship Architects' Guild to seize the speed-enhanced dhow given by the copycat Gangzi, they continued to stubbornly use the original dhow.
So when Gangzi released the high-speed dhow and the speed-enhanced sloop. The British Lawag fleet immediately felt the sudden pressure exerted by the outer navy.
The search group of the dhow they arranged on the periphery could not resist the attack of the high-speed sloop at all, especially the captain of the "Black Pearl" who was not messy and was a speed type. He once piloted the "Black Pearl" on a harassing mission to the American coast, and once led Gangzi's high-speed dhow group in battle against Seattle's superior fleet, and was extremely skilled in the use of dhow tactics.
This time, the hairstyle was not messy, but he was still entrusted with the important task by Gangzi, driving the "Black Pearl" to lead the high-speed sloop battleship group of the Jimo fleet and be responsible for eliminating the ears and eyes of the Laoag fleet.
Before the decisive battle of the main fleet, the battle of low-level warships never stopped, and the dhows of the Gangzi Combined Fleet destroyed the sloops protruding from the Laoag fleet.
The Lawag fleet immediately returned the favor and advanced with a group of brigs guarding the inner circle of the sloops to take over the duties of the sloops, withstanding the attack of Gangzi, and continuing to search for enemy ambushes and provide intelligence support to the main fleet. Brigs are already the backbone of naval warfare for most navies, and only the British Navy has the financial resources to use them for intelligence acquisition and the construction of a perimeter elastic defensive ring.
The addition of brigs allowed the Rawag fleet to regain the initiative in the perimeter battle, and no matter how powerful the sloops were, they were no match for the brigs. So Gangzi also put the prepared brig-class battleships into the outer battle.
All the brig-class warships of the Jimo Fleet, the Sky Guards, the Star Fleet, and the Fuso Fleet participated in the battle, and the number of up to 200 was twice as many as the brigs owned by the Laoag fleet. Especially the Dahan V-class battleships equipped with the Jimo fleet, the structure of the watertight compartment is a bug-like existence in the battle of the two-masted battleship.
At the first glance, the experienced British Navy saw that the hard-sail brig battleship in the opponent was by no means the Qingzhou fifth-class battleship commonly equipped by the Han Navy. "It's the Dahan Five-class battleship researched by Gangzi, this kind of two-masted battleship with a watertight cabin structure has caused the Plymouth Ship Designers Association to lose face, and they still haven't figured it out. How did Gangzi use ordinary materials in the limited hull space of a brig to build a watertight compartment that could withstand a salvo of naval guns. It was because of this man that our Far East Fleet was founded, and we should teach this man a good lesson in this battle who tried in vain to challenge British authority at sea. Let everyone see how vulnerable the hard-sail battleship was in front of the battleships built by the British Empire. ”
The Earl of York also learned of the news of the participation of the Dahan fifth-class battleship in the battle at the first time, and he immediately ordered: "Call all the warships of the Far East Fleet into a state of readiness." Since the large-scale appearance of hard-sail warships on the battlefield, we also have an excuse to use force against the Han navy. ”
"But my lord, the Emperor of the Han State has agreed to negotiate on the issue of the hard sail warship, and expressed his willingness to agree to our most critical conditions, and the Emperor of the Han State is waging a war against their own country and the king of the state, and should not launch an attack on our Far East Fleet at this time, I think all this is the spontaneous hostile behavior of the Han civilian fleet against our Far East Fleet, according to our information, the major fleets of the Han State have not moved. Only the ports of Jimo and Langya, which were under the command of Gangzi, were closed. It is estimated that Gangzi, the outburster, realized the compromise of the Han emperor and intended to start a war to make us fight with the Han navy. If we start a war against the Han now, it may bring the divided Han navy together, and Gangzi will thus get the support of the Han emperor and obtain a large number of orders from the Han navy, which is not in line with the purpose of our visit to the Far East. ”
Regarding the analysis of his subordinates, the Earl of York nodded: "What you said is very reasonable, if I launch an attack on the Han State now, it will indeed be beneficial to Gangzi, but ...... Continue to call the fleet to prepare for war, and after the Lawag fleet destroys Gangzi's fleet, we will pull the captured hard-sail brig battleships to put pressure on the Han State, asking them to agree to my conditions as soon as possible. ”
"The British Far East Fleet is just fully on board. And there are no large-scale departures? Gangzi received new information and said to himself, "Then I will destroy the Laoag fleet and see if you can calm down." ”
The main force of the Gangzi Combined Fleet has withdrawn to the waters of the Dongsha Islands in the Dahan South China Sea. Vietnam's Nguyen Minh Thiam also arrived by boat.
After meeting Ruan Mingsan, the military urgency did not ask Gangzi to greet him too much, and after promising Ruan Mingsan Jiuzhuo Merchant Group to properly settle him and his family, Gangzi asked him to receive his own warship, a Qingzhou fourth-class battleship.
"Li Youtai, Sanqian Honliu Sakura, and Tomobe Shoji, the three of you immediately change the battleship, and set up the 'Five Seas' attack group with Ruan Minh San and Hannonimo, the Qingzhou fourth-class battleships have anti-sinking watertight cabin technology, they can make you stay on the battlefield longer, I need the 'Five Seas' to provide the strongest attack power." Let the world see the power of 'One Piece's Fury'." ”
"Yes, General!"
From the Jimo fleet. Five Qingzhou V-class warships were dispatched, among which Nguyen Minh Zo and Hannonimo were already adapting to the changes brought about by the replacement of warships on their own warships. After all, neither of them had experience in accelerating a three-masted battleship. The "Mercury", "Konomaru", and "Oni Ichi" approached, and in the battle against the Philippine Navy, these three battleships rushed to the front, and the hull suffered heavy losses, just in time to replace the battleships to improve their combat effectiveness.
Thinking about the "One Piece's Fury" combo is about to be revealed, the five captains in it are even more excited than Gangzi.
"Now all the capital ships have withdrawn from the 'Black Pearl' fleet and transferred to the 'Flying Henan' fleet, all captains have joined the Jimo fleet, and the Lingxiao combat command system has been docked with the Jimo fleet command system, and now the Jimo fleet command channel is responsible for the command of the entire campaign."
The warships of the various divisions began to carry out fleet transformations, and then they were amazed in all sorts of ways! Marvel! Marvel again!
"Ah...... Another legendary-class battleship, Gangzi Big Brother Niu has gone to the sky. ”
"I have long guessed that the 'Flying Henan People' is such a bombarded battleship, it must be unusual, and now it is indeed a legendary-class battleship."
"Haha, I said why Gangzi Boss didn't transform the 'Flying Henan People' before, it turned out that people were waiting for the promotion legend and could die in the hands of the current 'Flying Henan People'." The Flying Dutchman's was not aggrieved, and Hugh Hobert could finally put a fig leaf over his privacy. ”
"Flagship skills plus hits and dodges, this is definitely a legendary-level battleship of the main decisive battle. Judging from the combat effectiveness shown by the Hawaiian naval battle "Flying Henanren", this battleship is already one of the top warships in the world. It is estimated that it can already be compared to the "Constitution" and the "Holy Trinity", and if the artillery can be upgraded, it is estimated that it can also fight against the "Victory". ”
"'Flying Henan People' and 'One Piece' Fury', this naval battle is exciting, everyone hurry up and broadcast the live broadcast, it will definitely make money. In addition, I asked Gangzi Boss to disclose the attributes of the 'Flying Henan People' and the performance of the combo skill 'One Piece'. ”
Gangzi, who was sitting in his captain's room, laughed regardless of the surprised eyes of the deployment on the combat platform: "Hahaha, you're all late, my brother's live broadcast has been launched, and it's full as always." The attributes of the 'Flying Henan People' are kept secret. The effect of 'Wrath of One Piece' can still be revealed. ”
"One Piece's Wrath" Combo Skill: When the five captains with Sniper, Counterattack, Rush Repair, Flame, and Sword Hao are in the same fleet and are no more than one nautical mile apart, the super powerful explosive combo skill is triggered to perform a group attack on the battlefield, and the power is devastating and unstoppable. (After entering the battle, each of the five captains will have an rage bar, which will automatically increase over time, hitting an enemy ship and being hit will increase the rage value, and when the rage value is full, the captain can use the skill 'One Piece' to bombard five enemy ships at the same time.) The higher the captain's attributes, the greater the power of the shelling)
It can only be described in one word: violent and strong! Strong!
The five captain's skills are originally rare skills, and each one is already strong, and when combined, it can hit five of them. At the beginning, Gangzi deliberately belittled the role of combination skills in front of the three thousand honliu Sakura. In fact, his heart was already sour, and his combination technique "Celestial Divine Might" had no clues, so he put his careful thoughts on "One Piece's Fury". Now to coerce and pull in, this powerful combination is finally completed in his own hands.
Expect the moment when they erupt at sea.
Arriving at the predetermined decisive battle site, Gangzi organized the main battleships in his hands to form a "Five Seas" decisive battle attack group composed of 21 warships with the "Flying Henan" as the flagship, the "Fury of One Piece" as the core, and 15 three-masted warships as the main force.
The Lawag fleet consisted of four second-class warships, ten third-class warships, and twenty fourth-class warships, and attacked 34 warships.
The British fleet surpassed the "Five Seas" fleet in terms of the number and quality of warships, with 80 guns for 2nd class warships and 60 guns for 3rd class warships. The captains and sailors of all NPCs are not something that the "Five Seas" fleet composed of many mixed parties can deal with.
"Gangzi Boss is staging a suspense film for everyone as always. Although he has collected the most powerful combo skill 'One Piece' so far, he doesn't look like an opponent of the British Raag fleet. However, Gangzi Boss exists for this kind of poor strength, and I think Gangzi Boss will win the final victory, just like he has been bringing us victories, and it will not change. ”
The beautiful anchor started her passionate commentary again, non-stop water, water.
"Attention to the participating warships, except for the 'Five Seas' fleet, other warships are pressing the outer tentacles of the Laoag fleet with all their might, I see that many Filipino players are taking the mission issued by the British, not to mention that we are still allies, can't they see that this is not a battle they can participate in at all? It's really anxious for our IQ to eliminate them. ”
"Keep your hair out of order, take the 'Black Pearl' to the central battlefield, stay out of the range of enemy artillery, don't attack to avoid angering them, and call the 'guide' in place."
"The 'Five Seas' fleet is preparing for the attack, and the captains of each ship pay attention to the real-time data of the enemy ships given by the flagship, which are all invisible through visual inspection, pay attention to arranging the defense and attack of their respective warships, and pay attention to listening to the coordinates of the fire given by the flagship."
After arranging the preliminary deployment of the fleet, Gangzi transferred to the command of the "Flying Henan People": "Pay attention to the front and rear batteries, and prepare the 'guided shells'!" ”
The 'Five Seas' fleet has completed the reorganization on the march, and has discharged the battle line and entered the speed of sailing. A supply fleet of merchant ships approached, and the sailors of the ships were busy on deck, some replacing the guns that had fallen too long, and replenishing the ammunition and lost sailors due to the loss of ammunition in the battle against the Philippine Navy.
The outer group of ships increased the pressure on the Lawag navy, and in order to block the British reconnaissance of the outer waters, the captains of the Combined Fleet even launched a suicide attack.
Under the desperate resistance of the opponent, the reconnaissance of the Lawag fleet in the outer waters was almost completely lost, and only the reconnaissance and pursuit ship group in front still maintained the position of the enemy's capital ship group. Of course, this is also deliberately done by Gangzi, in order to attract the Laoag fleet to the decisive sea area of his choice.
The onslaught of the enemy on the periphery also made the British realize that the moment of decisive battle was about to begin, and the enemy's ambush would appear at any moment. But they did not choose to retreat, especially after the enemy fleet in front stopped.
"No matter how large the enemy's ambushed fleet is, the Lawag fleet will deal with it, even if the Han Navy all sails over, we can also support the arrival of the main force of the Far East Fleet's rescue, this is the confidence that strength gives us, a third-class warship leads a group of fourth-class warships to ambush the British Royal Navy, is it April Fool's Day today?"
