"Captain, the pirates are following closely. There is a floating island ahead, and the baron's army has been ambushing around it. What should we do now?" The first mate picked up the monocular telescope handed down from ancient times and looked at the approaching and approaching the pirate asked eagerly.
"Our merchant ships are divided into two teams and row across the two sides of the floating island more than 700 meters wide in front. Be careful of the reefs. The rest of the battle depends on the performance of Baron Elante and the others." The captain of the Tindor fleet squinted at a group of And reefs, islands composed of small islands, he ordered seriously.
In the blink of an eye, the four large merchant ships quickly divided into two teams, made a 30-degree turn, and ran quickly to both sides in the direction of the wind.
700 meters away, the observing pirates suddenly became excited.
"Boss, the merchant ship split into two teams and ran towards the north. What should we do?"
Listening to the observer¡¯s report, the old pirate picked up the bamboo tube and looked at the island in front of him.
"Idiot, there is a floating island in front of us. Their large merchant ships are heavy, have a lot of cargo, and have a deep draft. Our waterline is only 2 to 5 meters, which is not as good as theirs. We order the ships with the deep draft to go from both sides, and the other ships from the middle. Let¡¯s go, we must catch these rich people.¡±
The same orders are conveyed among the pirate fleets. The large-scale pirate fleet continued to advance rapidly, and the small and light pirate ship's forward quickly approached from 700 meters to 500 meters.
"Baron, the Tindor merchant ship has been spotted on the sea level, followed by at least 10 pirate boats." The observer on the lookout point quickly reported.
"Really? Wait a little longer. Call me as soon as the merchant ship passes by the floating island." Lin Fenghan exhaled excitedly and ordered seriously.
"Bonodong, when do you think your brother will launch an attack?" Lin Fenghan suppressed his excitement and asked seriously to Bonodong, who came from a naval family next to him.
"Didn't my brother make an appointment with you to attack the pirate ship together as soon as it passes the floating island? He will naturally do so." Bonodong said cautiously.
"No! Plans can never keep up with changes. I'm sure your brother is not a pedantic commander. The actual battle is unpredictable. He will definitely not attack according to the plan." Lin Fenghan smiled lightly and said with certainty.
"Baron! We found pirates, a large number of ships" The investigator stood on the watchtower 50 meters away from the sea in surprise and said downwards in shock.
"What?" Lin Fenghan nervously tightened his grip on the mast and ordered seriously: "Continue to observe."
"One, two, three, fourthe pirates have more than 60 large and small ships."
"What? There are so many places! What is the ratio of big ships to small ships?"
¡°It was completely dark, mostly small boats, but there were also big boats but not many. The distance was too far for me to see clearly.¡±
"Damn it, the intelligence is wrong! This time everyone has to take it seriously."
"Baron, due to the turn, the pirate boat is already 200 meters close to the Tindor merchant ship. The pirates' forward has entered the floating island. The black pressure covers a large area. The large ship follows the merchant ship from both sides. There are about 30 ships." The observer quickly said reported.
"Order the entire army to set off immediately!" Lin Fenghan closed his eyes, opened them suddenly, and ordered decisively.
"Yes! The whole army sets off." The herald and flag bearer shouted quickly. The fleet anchored in the ocean quickly put away its anchor and headed towards the floating island.
The Tindor ships moved forward in a roundabout way from both sides of the floating island. The successful pirate ships were divided into three fleets, with more than 30 small boats with shallow drafts in the middle, and medium and large ships with deep drafts on both sides.
As the pirates' ships dispersed, Ponos from the west immediately led the fleet towards the pirate fleet in the west.
"Boss, a fleet has been spotted in the east, with about 20 ships." The pirate lookouts on the middle route passing by the floating island were the first to spot Lin Fenghan's fleet.
"What? The merchant ship is a bait? Is there an ambush? Our fleet is now divided into three teams. There are only 12 ships on the east road. They are no match for the fleet on the east. There are only 20 ships. Let's go to the east road and defeat them first. An unknown fleet is plundering merchant ships." After thinking briefly, the pirate leader quickly shouted to other ships to express his attention.
"Boss, more than 20 ships have appeared in the west. Our ship to the west is in danger." After the pirate ship in the middle turned around, the pirate observer suddenly discovered the situation again.
"What? Our Black Dragon Pirates' ship is in the west. I want to go back and be the captain."
"Our Water Dragon Pirates' ship is in the east, and we are going to the east."
¡¡
The pirate ship that had just completed the turn in the middle suddenly started to quarrel. The wind blowing to the north caused the pirates to quarrel.Many ships sailed to the north.
"Stop arguing. The pirates fighting in our west are not pigs. Our flagship is thick and tall, and our naval guns are not good at it. Even if we can't beat them, they can still row towards us. Don't forget what our pirates' strengths are. ." The one-eyed pirate raised his hands high and shouted loudly.
"Besides, the fleet in the east is closer to us. It will be easier for us to go to the east to defeat the enemy first and then return to support. I have said what needs to be said. I will no longer waste time with you stupid kids. I'm leaving. I agree. Mine and I will go." After the one-eyed pirate finished speaking, he picked up the oar and, with the cooperation of the helmsman, headed northeast diagonally. The pirates whose flagship was originally in the east also followed the one-eyed pirate in their boats. After hesitating for a few minutes and watching the pirates around them leave, the remaining pirates thought that their own strength and the strength of the flagship could not resist the fleet to the west. He also gritted his teeth and swam towards the east.
The observers in the pursuit of the pirates' eastern fleet also discovered Lin Fenghan's fleet.
"Captain, there is a fleet of about twenty ships in the east, about 1,500 meters away from us. The ships in our middle route seem to have discovered this situation. More than 30 ships are coming towards us. What should we do now?" Shuilong The lookout of the pirate group quickly reported.
"What? Grandma, you are such a badass, it turns out these four merchant ships are bait! How can I say why these merchant ships are running so fast? It turns out they are all empty ships!" The Water Dragon Pirates slapped their heads and cursed loudly.
The first mate asked cautiously: "Since the boss is the bait, let's go!"
"Hmph! You bastard, will you leave after you slander me?" The leader of the Water Dragon Pirates picked up his hat and patted the first mate on the head, shouting angrily: "John, show me a good look at what those ships are like. ?How many big and small ships are there, and which force do they belong to?"
"Captain, most of those ships are small ships, and there are only 6 large ships. Those small ships look very similar to our small pirate ships, but their appearance is different." Hans said strangely after watching.
"We've already walked in. Give me the observation glass and let me take a look." The leader of the Water Dragon Pirates took away the monocular telescope of another observer beside him and observed carefully.
"Grandma, isn't this the ship of the Black Dragon Pirates? I helped them repair these ships back then. I've also seen this shield and pine tree logo. This is Baron Elante's fleet."
"Baron Elante? Is he the lord who defeated several pirate groups last time?"
"Yes, this kid is really arrogant. We haven't taught him a lesson yet, but he actually came here to die. Order the entire fleet to speed up and prepare guns, bows and arrows, and hooks. This time I will teach this kid a lesson."
At the same time, the crew members of the Black Dragon Pirate Group and the Black Shark Pirate Group in the Eastern Fleet also discovered Elante's fleet.
"Captain, this is Elantra's fleet."
"What, is it Yi Liuyun who caused us heavy losses last time?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Brothers, the time for revenge has come. Prepare your bows, arrows, and crossbows immediately. I want to teach this little kid Yi Liuyun a lesson."
"Yes! Boss, since we learned about the power of naval guns last time, we have prepared 2,000 long arrows and repaired 10 ballistae. We must give him a good look this time."
Among the pirates on the East Road, the Black Dragon Pirate Group and the Black Shark Pirate Group were busy repairing their crossbows and preparing for a good fight.
"Baron, the pirates on the middle road and the east road are gathering at us. The middle road is currently close to 2,000 meters away from us, and the east road is more than 1,000 meters away from us. What should we do now?" the lookout quickly reported.
"Command Hailan 1, Fengyun 1, and Fengyun 2 to move to the west, Clippers 1 and 2 to slow down, guard the flagship to the left and right, and Kamikaze Express to divide into two echelons in front of the formation."
"All archers and crossbowmen are ready with kerosene, rockets, and fire crossbows. Sailor warriors are rowing with all their strength. Be sure to destroy the pirates on the east route before the pirate ships from the middle route arrive."
Looking at the pirate ship, Lin Fenghan calmly gave the order.
