At least in the early stages of the war, the observer military attachés of various countries did not see how powerful the army of the Orr Kingdom was!

In the first half month of the war, the army units and servant armies of the Krull Kingdom entered the hinterland of the Andel Kingdom and the Venabay Kingdom, inflicting heavy losses on the defenders of the two countries.

The huge fleet fleet of the Krull Kingdom also successfully blocked the coastline of the Orr Kingdom.

The war seems to have gone to the first side that the Krull people hoped for!

But what they didn't expect was that when they actually entered the territory of the Orr Kingdom, the situation would be different.

In February of the eighth year of Qiansheng, about 30,000 people of the Krull army landed in the Orr Kingdom under the cover of the navy, although the landing was very smooth at the beginning, and then after going deep inland, they also defeated a number of Orr army defenders, but three days later, they were ambushed by the Orr defenders when they went deep inland.

The 30,000 troops had just landed for only three days, and they fled back to the beach where they landed, and at this time, the 30,000 Krull native army had only more than 5,000 people left.

If it weren't for the proximity to the sea, the remnants fled to the beach in one go and contacted the navy for support, it is estimated that there would be no remaining 5,000 people.

Lieutenant General Benjamin of the Krull Kingdom Army, who led the unit, recalled the situation in a frightened tone!

"We had just conquered an Orr town and were about to march to our next target city, but we soon found out that a village behind us had been overrun by the Orrs!"

"It didn't take long for our scout cavalry to discover that Orns were appearing in all directions, at least 50,000 or even 100,000!"

"They surrounded us from all sides and used at least a thousand artillery pieces, as well as a large number of heavy machine guns!"

"I have been in the army for more than 40 years, and I have never seen such dense firepower, the enemy shells fell on our positions one after another and exploded, and they still used observation balloons, the shells landed very accurately, and when we realized that something was wrong and was ready to break through, we were intercepted by the enemy interception forces, and they used a lot of heavy machine guns."

"They used an unknown number of heavy machine guns to scatter at us, and countless soldiers were hit and fell!"

"In the end, we took advantage of their unheard of junction in the east to force a breakthrough, and only then did we escape with 5,000 men, otherwise the whole army would have been wiped out by now!"

Vice Admiral Benjamin's remarks made the admirals in the fleet of the Krull Kingdom very disdainful!

"Originally, I was expecting them to be able to complete the rapid penetration after landing, and finally surround a large number of the enemy's main forces deployed in the southeast region and cut off their supply lines, but I didn't expect to be almost completely wiped out just a few days after landing!"

"Even the armies of overseas territories are better than these native soldiers!"

The admiral of the Krull Kingdom in the blockade fleet was very unhappy, before the outbreak of this war, their navy had already begun to blockade the Orr Kingdom, and invested a large number of warships for a long-term blockade, which was not an easy task.

"Looking at the performance of the army, I'm afraid we have to prepare for a long-term blockade!"

"I already knew that those guys in the army were unreliable, otherwise I wouldn't have asked the logistics department to prepare the supply fleet in advance, rest assured, the supply fleet will arrive in two days, and we will supply directly at sea at that time!"

"Send the communication ship over, let the logistics fleet be careful, the two cruisers of the Orrs are still hanging outside, they just sank a lone cargo ship a few days ago, don't let them find a chance!"

"Don't worry, I've sent the Carey to lead the cruiser fleet to search for and encircle them, and they can't escape!"

"Hmph, if you want to play broken sex, they Orns are still a little tender!"

At the same time, more than 30 nautical miles away, the largest port of the Orr Kingdom and the largest military port, Yi'an Port, many warships of the Orr Kingdom were quietly moored in the harbor.

On the harbor shore defense battery guarding the port, the soldiers stationed there opened their eyes wide, looking at the Krull Kingdom Navy blockade fleet outside the port, the Krull Kingdom Navy outside The blockade fleet of the Krull Kingdom Navy outside is extremely powerful, and there are as many as six first-class battleships alone, two of which are new battleships equipped with 350 mm warships.

And four new second-class battleships!

And then there were more than a dozen old battleships, but they were also reequipped with breech-loading rifled guns.

The navy of the Krull Kingdom sent a huge fleet of more than thirty warships in one go to block the largest port of the Orr Kingdom, Ian Port!

It is worth mentioning that outside the port of Ian, in addition to the blockade fleet of the Krull Kingdom, there are a small number of warships flying the flags of different countries, most of which are small and medium-sized warships.

These are all warships from various navies that came to watch the battle, including the two Ansu-class cruisers of the Daheng Imperial Navy!

These foreign warships watching the battle were all on the side, not approaching, and at the same time, they were also waving conspicuous national flags to avoid being injured by mistake.

The many large-caliber naval guns on the shore defense batteries in the port of Ian are also ready to fight at any time, and the largest port in the Orr Kingdom also has the largest coastal fire prevention capacity.

It has a total of three 300-mm guns, 12 250-mm guns, nine 200-mm guns, and more than 30 150-mm guns.

The long-barreled series of coastal defense guns produced by the Nanzhou Machinery Bureau of the Daheng Empire, all of which are the above-mentioned coastal defense guns, have excellent performance, and are equipped with advanced half-rapid-fire Cole gun mounts, and the external price is not too expensive, so in addition to their own use, they are also exported to various countries in large quantities.

With such a strong shore fire prevention force, even if the warships of the Krull Kingdom Navy are extremely powerful, they do not dare to break in, or there is no need to break through, they only need to block the Orr Kingdom Navy in the harbor and prevent them from coming out to destroy their own sea transportation and supply lines, even if they have completed the strategic task.

There is no need to break into the harbor and annihilate the warships of the Orr Kingdom Navy.

What's more, the battleship and the shore fire fighting force are naturally at a huge disadvantage, and the effective range and firing accuracy of the naval guns under the same technical conditions are far inferior to the shore defense guns.

Moreover, the main battleships of the Krull Kingdom Navy, like the main warships of the Daheng Imperial Navy, are mostly open-air battery warships, which can be used against direct firepower, but it is not enough to deal with the condescendingly designed shore fire.

The Aurr Kingdom's shore fire protection is good, so that the Krull Kingdom Navy did not force close to the shelling port, which also makes most of the capital ships of the Orr Kingdom Navy still be saved!

At this time, four princess-class second-class battleships, four coast-class coastal defense ironclad ships, two urgently procured first-class second-class battleships, and the Pingbo second-class battleship were all anchored in Yi'an Harbor safely.

However, in the past many years, the Orr Kingdom has spent a lot of money to build a navy, and it is definitely not for the fleet that has been built with a lot of money to anchor in the port to watch the show.

They have been planning to break through the blockade of the Krull Kingdom's navy and then attack the Krull Kingdom's sea supply lines.

Now, with a group of warships of the Krull Kingdom Navy leaving Ian Harbor to escort and protect the landing fleet, at the same time, the enemy fleet outside the port has continued to blockade Ian Harbor for more than half a month, and the fleet has continued to carry out blockade tasks for a long time.

Now they think the time is ripe!

During the day, the Orr Kingdom Navy in the harbor had already begun to move, and the senior generals held a whole day's meeting to finalize the details of the operation, while the officers and men were also busy replenishing the ammunition and supplies of the warships.

That night, in the port of Ian in the night, various warships lit fires one after another!

As soon as it was dawn the next day, the Orr Kingdom Navy in the harbor began to move!

They left the harbor one after another, leaving the port through the channel, at this time, the actions of the Orr Kingdom Navy in the port were naturally discovered by the Krull Kingdom Navy, and they quickly began to maneuver in formation, preparing to block the Orr Kingdom Navy that tried to leave the port.

However, under the threat of the shore defense battery, they did not rush forward to avoid falling into the double blow of the firepower of the naval fleet of the Orr Kingdom and the fire protection power of the shore fire.

One fleet is on standby, while the other is rushing out of the harbor one after another, and as soon as it leaves the harbor, it begins to line up!

At this time, the warships of the navies of various countries watching the battle also took action one after another, and they once again distanced themselves to avoid falling into the sea area where the two sides were fighting.

The second-class cruiser Ansu of the Daheng Imperial Navy, Navy Major Shi Xuekun, personally climbed onto the bridge of the command ship, and together with several officers, he held binoculars and looked at the two fleets in front.

They are not only watching, but also constantly observing and recording the details of the actions of both sides.

This is about to break out in a naval battle, but in the past twenty years, the largest naval battle on the Blue Star, for the navies of various countries, this is not to be missed some opportunities to observe and learn.

The same is true for the navy of the Daheng Empire, although the navy of the Daheng Empire is not small now, but the background is still too poor, and the naval battles have not been fought much, and the scale of several naval battles during the unification war is too small, and the intensity is too low There is no great reference value at all.

Now there is a large-scale naval battle for them to visit and learn, and this kind of opportunity will naturally not be missed!

This was the case with the navy of the Great Heng Empire, and the navies of other countries also had similar thoughts.

In fact, even the navy of the Krull Kingdom itself has the opportunity to take advantage of this war to test the achievements of naval construction in the past ten years, test naval tactics, and explore future naval development.

The only one who doesn't have this kind of idea is the Orr Kingdom Navy!

Now they are bent on breaking through the blockade, trying to cover the high-speed cruiser fleet to break the relationship, and no matter how bad it is, they will create harmonious casualties for the Krull Kingdom Navy, and it is best to sink a few Krull Kingdom Navy warships, so that they know that the Orr Kingdom Navy will not sit still.
