    Section 4: Naval Battle to Protect Business (1)

    "Baron, we are still one kilometer away from participating in the battle. I will take command of the fleet." Ponos looked at the naval battle getting closer and closer and ran quickly towards the captain's command room. Lin Fenghan saw this and followed him.  He wanted to see how naval battles of this era unfolded.

    At this time, the ocean ahead was burning with flames, soldiers roared, and more than a dozen warships flying skull and crossbones flags surrounded the four merchant ships on their way in a concave shape.  These pirate ships range from large to small. The small ones are about twenty meters long, and the large ones are more than fifty meters long. Overall, the single quality of the ships is not as high as that of the Elantra navy ships.  The four merchant ships vary in size, with the largest merchant ship being approximately more than 70 meters long.  The three surrounding ships are its frigates, ranging in size from forty to sixty meters, and are half merchant ships and half battleships.

    Due to the height of the ship, only some pirate ships can directly attack merchant ships. Faced with such a gorgeous warship, the pirates constantly use ballistae, rockets, and bow-ramming saboteurs to protect the ship. Some pirates rely on flying claws.  With the help of the deck mast, they constantly jumped on the escort ship and engaged in the most normal hand-to-hand combat on the ocean.

    Screams came from time to time, and Lin Fenghan watched as several unlucky pirates were chopped over by the merchant ship's guards and fell into the sea one by one.

    "Order Hailan 2, Hailan 3 and five assault ships to attack the right wing."

    "Order Hailan 4, Hailan 5 and five assault ships to attack the left wing."

    "The fleet is divided into three groups to surround the pirates in a half-moon pattern. Everyone works together to kill the enemy and rescue the members on the ship." Bonos quickly ordered the messengers.

    "No!" Lin Fenghan quickly stretched out his hand and said seriously to Ponos: "We have brought more than 700 people this time. Although the force is strong, protecting merchant ships is not our main task. Concentrating firepower to defeat one party is  What we have to do, if we follow your approach, we can win in the end, but the casualties will be huge, and this kind of meaningless sacrifice must be avoided."

    "Order all fleets to move closer to the left wing. Archers and ballistae gunners are ready, gather together, and wait for my order." Lin Fenghan quickly stood on the observation deck of the captain's mast and issued the order quickly.

    "This?" The messenger looked at Bonos and Lin Fenghan in embarrassment, at a loss.

    "Alas! Just do as the Baron said!" Bonos listened to Lin Fenghan's instructions, and his heart tightened. He then thought of Lin Fenghan's achievements in the past few days and waved his hand quickly.

    "Baron, you take charge of this battle! I will assist you with some common tactical tips."

    "No! I'm not too familiar with naval battles. I can command some tactics, but I still need your guidance on the actual battle. Let's fight together!" Lin Fenghan gently patted Bonos on the shoulder.  said sincerely.

    "Okay! I'm willing to serve the Baron!"

    "Bonos, what qualities do you think soldiers must possess in maritime operations, and which qualities can be improved to increase a soldier's individual combat effectiveness."

    "Baron, to be the number one in the navy, you must be able to swim and be proficient in water skills. Second, you must often stay at the beach, not afraid of seasickness, have good balance, and be able to fight in the rocking of ships. Third, you must be able to endure loneliness, be agile, and be able to use  All kinds of strange weapons. These three points are very important, especially balance. On a big ship, the ship will not swing much, but on a small ship, it is particularly dangerous. Generally, pirate ships, merchant ships, and fishing boats have many small ships. If the balance is  No, no matter how powerful you are, you will die miserably."

    Lin Fenghan and Bonos looked at the battlefield getting closer and closer, and talked quietly.

    "Oh! So in addition to my own sailors, I also brought more than 200 archers and more than 200 buckler swordsmen this time. How much combat power do you think they can exert on the ocean?"

    "Baron, we people in the Elante Islands are basically born to swim. No civilian child can know how to row, swim, or fish. Don't worry, although their combat effectiveness at sea is not as strong as on land, they are more than enough to deal with pirates.  , that is, the heavy infantry cannot get off the ship. It is too heavy to wear at sea. If it falls into the sea, it will basically be dead. I suggest you bring the heavy infantry defense mast to support various fleets"

    "Order all small warships to shrink their style and reduce their speed."

    "Order the medium-sized warship to continue to accelerate and hit the first and second pirate ships in an inverted sickle shape." Lin Fenghan looked at the situation ahead and gave such an order when he was five hundred meters away from the battlefield.

    Five medium-sized ships aggressively collided with the pirate ship on the left. The pirate captains who were robbing looked at the fleet in front of them. Instead of retreating, they stepped up their attack speed. More peopleThe soldiers attacked the merchant ship on the left wing.  The two pirate ships behind the left wing, under the command of the captain, crossed the pirate ship in front and attacked Elante's fleet.  Lin Fenghan and others looked at the flags of each pirate ship and found that there were three groups of people. The four pirate ships on the left all had the flags of their owners, the black sharks.
