Chapter 1563: Cleared in One Wave

The battle at sea was about to begin! As the fifteen Great Zhou fast ships quickly pressed forward, the two steam ironclad ships lurking on the periphery also moved along with them. Under the command of Lin Youshu, they launched a detour to the East China Sea Fleet.

The aerial bombardment unit that rescued the royal warship did not continue to provide support afterwards, mainly to save the consumption of explosive barrels.

But this did not have much impact on Lin Youshu.

With two steam ironclad ships in hand, if he still cannot win the naval battle in front of him, he will simply retire and return to his hometown on the volcanic island to fish!

"What the hell, look over there!"

Relying on the speed advantage, almost at the same time when the Great Zhou Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet officially started fighting on the front battlefield, the two steam ironclad ships successfully completed the circling, spewing thick smoke and rushing into the battlefield at full power!

Even larger than a large warship, its hull made of steel constantly spewed out thick black smoke. It was a steel monster that was completely beyond the imagination of people of this era!

From the perspective of the East China Sea Fleet, the two steel monsters rushed into the battlefield in an almost unreasonable manner.

While rapidly closing the distance with their East China Sea warships, accompanied by the firing of a large number of artillery, the hulls of their East China Sea warships were as fragile as thin paper in front of the artillery, and several warships were completely destroyed in a short period of time! The Governor of the East China Sea, who witnessed this scene, suddenly changed his face and soon realized that something was wrong.

"Pass my order, retreat immediately! All troops retreat back to the island!!"

After a simple round of confrontation, the Governor of the East China Sea realized that with those two steel monsters around, the East China Sea Fleet under his command had no chance of winning at all.

In comparison, if he retreats to the island, a strong man at the Vajra Realm level like himself can at least exert more combat power!

Obviously, they themselves are also aware that the strength of the Vajra Realm strongmen will be limited at sea.

It’s just that the land area of ​​the archipelago countries was not large before, and the main battles were fought at sea. Everyone faced the same situation, so naturally no one would worry about this issue.

But now the situation has obviously changed.

Lin Youshu had long been prepared for the enemy to retreat, otherwise he would not have arranged two steam ironclad ships to go around them in advance.

Now, in the eyes of the East China Sea Fleet, the existence of these two steam ironclad ships is even more terrifying than a tiger blocking the road.

Under this premise, the Great Zhou fleet on the front battlefield was also approaching rapidly.

An encirclement was about to be formed.

Faced with this situation, the Governor of Donghai also made a prompt decision and issued a new order...

"Order all ships to ram directly! If the ramming is successful, directly invade the enemy ship. If the ramming fails, send the assault ship to evacuate!"

Anyone who can become a governor must be extremely powerful and have good abilities as well.

Steam ironclad ships have high speed and strong firepower. If the naval battle continues, their old-fashioned warships will not be able to be saved anyway.

Faced with this situation, the Governor of the East China Sea also started to get angry. Since he couldn't save anything, he might as well give it up. He started a self-sacrificing charge and would destroy as many ships as he could.

I have to say, this trick is still useful.

Even a steam ironclad ship protected by armor plates does not want to be hit head-on by an old-fashioned warship.

For a moment, they were forced to retreat.

After all, they are risking their lives. Unless you are willing to do the same without any regard for the consequences, you can only retreat obediently.

The East China Sea Governor's response method put some pressure on Lin Youshu, and he frowned unconsciously.

To be honest, this battle was not as easy as he expected.

But it is impossible to lose. It is just the difference between spending more effort or less effort.

Lin Youshu took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and calmly commanded the Great Zhou Fleet to deal with the East China Sea Fleet on the opposite side.

Seeing this scene, Bai Tu couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart.

As a commander, you need to react quickly on the battlefield and give orders decisively, but at the same time you also need to remain calm and avoid being impatient.

Lin Youshu is no longer a new recruit, but he still has little experience in commanding a fleet in combat alone. So far, his performance still makes Bai Tu very satisfied.

When two armies clash on the battlefield, sometimes it is a process of seeing which side makes mistakes first.

This places high demands on both the commander and the troops under his command.

Under this situation, the Great Zhou Fleet has a psychological advantage.

On the one hand, there are two steam ironclad ships to maintain order. On the other hand, they have won consecutive battles against Patton's fleet from the beginning of the battle to now. After Patton III announced his surrender, their morale is even higher and they are not at all weak.

After several rounds of negotiations, the East China Sea Fleet was helpless against the Great Zhou Fleet. Instead, two steam ironclad ships took advantage of the opportunity and sank four warships one after another! As the four warships gradually sank, the panic in the hearts of the East China Sea soldiers began to spread, directly causing the entire fleet to start having problems.

The Governor of East China Sea had an ugly look on his face when he received the feedback. The terrible situation had made him curse in his heart, but he didn't even have time to curse.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After all, if they continue at this pace, their East China Sea Fleet will be completely destroyed at sea.

"Pass my order, abandon ship and retreat to the island!"

It can be said that his plan did not achieve the expected effect at all, which left the Governor of the East China Sea helpless at sea. He had to use the last resort and abandon ship and retreat.

After receiving this order, the naval soldiers in the East China Sea were all relieved and they lowered the assault boats as quickly as possible.

The sea area where they are now is not far from the island. With a little effort and the help of the assault boat, they can quickly reach the shore.

The Great Zhou Fleet naturally noticed the opponent's move, but it really had no good way to deal with it.

It is easy to aim artillery at an enemy ship that is dozens of meters long, but if you ask them to aim at the assault ship, wouldn't that be difficult for them?

Fortunately, Bai Tu didn’t care, they had already prepared to land on the island!

The East China Sea Navy, which took the lead in launching the operation, completed the landing first, and then they were seen quickly deploying defenses in the coastal areas.

"What are you going to do?"

In the command room, Bai Tu looked at Lin Youshu, who was the commander of this battle.

After all, landing operations are within the responsibilities of the fleet commander.

As soon as Bai Tu asked this question, Lin Youshu knew that his colonel was testing him.

“No hurry.”

Lin Youshu looked calm as he said these two words.

During this process, the defenses on the opposite coast were also rapidly upgraded. Crossbows were pushed out one after another, and a large number of crossbowmen were lined up behind them, ready to go.

After waiting for the other side to be fully prepared, Lin Youshu calmly gave an order.

Instantly, the pterosaur riders flew out, accompanied by a "boom" sound, and a violent series of explosions instantly cleared all the enemy's defenses! (End of this chapter)
