Marquis Jinyue waited for another three days with great embarrassment, and his fleet was barely ready for all kinds of supplies. Compared with the other nobles, without preparation, it only took six days for the fifteen warships of the Marquis of Jinyue to enter the state of combat readiness, which is also not bad.

The other nobles of Jinyue Harbor saw that this was the rhythm of the battle, and they hurriedly ordered their merchant ships to avoid the sea area where the two sides were fighting, so as not to suffer from the fish in the pond.

In order to know himself and his opponent, Lin Feng had already arranged for spies to infiltrate Jinyue Harbor, and when Marquis Jinyue's fleet gathered in the port, Lin Feng had already received the news and was ready to face it.

This was the first battle since Lin Feng's navy was formed, and Lin Feng, Jackson, Cook and others had demonstrated the battle process many times on the sand table in the past few days, basically rehearsing all the possible situations, and finally formulated a plan to take the initiative to engage the enemy.

This plan is not so dangerous, it is to take advantage of intelligence, seize the upper hand when the enemy fleet does not detect your own fleet, and then rush into the enemy formation, disrupt their formation, and at the same time, send assault boats to use wolf pack tactics to besiege lone enemy ships.

In this plan, the marines led by Kivica Nande will play a big role, if Kivica and they can quickly grab the enemy ship and end the battle, then Lin Feng's fleet will have a little less pressure when firing at the enemy.

After all, the other party has fifteen warships, if they shoot hard at the other party, even if Lin Feng, the archmage, makes a timely move, even if Jackson and them can win in the end, but that loss is probably not what Lin Feng wants to see.

The sky was cloudless, and the wind was gusting on the sea, so Jackson said to Lin Feng and Lin Feng: "As long as we can successfully seize the upper hand and fight in this weather, our chances of victory will increase by one percent." ”

Lin Feng was very satisfied with Jackson's words, with this belief in victory, and not blindly arrogant, such a person could become a qualified commander, and Lin Feng was relieved to hand over the fleet of Nanlin Island to Jackson with full command.

Jackson had spent half his life in the waters near Golden Moon Harbor, and he was as familiar with this place as if he were in his own backyard, and according to the information reported by the spies, Jackson quickly chose a location to intercept the local fleet.

The commander of the naval fleet of the Marquis of Golden Moon was one of his clansmen named Tim Angola. This naval commander, how to say it, the only thing he can do in the navy is that he is a confidant of the Marquis of Jinyue and is loyal to the Marquis of Jinyue.

Fortunately, the Marquis of Jinyue still knew how many catties and taels this subordinate had, and he was equipped with two former imperial admirals who were familiar with naval affairs, and because of this, Tim Angola's reputation in the Jinyue fleet was not very high.

At this time, Tim Angola was sitting on the flagship "Golden Moon" and ordered his warships to pull up a long snake formation on the sea, and in Tim's opinion, such a formation could find the local fleet more quickly.

However, the two former admirals under him are not as hasty as him, and what is the difference between dispersing their forces before facing the enemy and seeking death? Therefore, the two of them are resolutely opposed to discharging such a formation.

Tim also knew that his level was limited, so he had to withdraw the unreliable order, but in order to save his face, he actually summoned the two generals and the captains of various warships back to the "Golden Moon", wanting to hold a pre-war meeting for them.

It was also at this time that Lin Feng's fleet discovered the Golden Moon Fleet, and seeing that his own fleet was already in the upper hand, without saying anything, Jackson decisively gave the order for the whole fleet to raise its sails and charge with all its might, and at the same time, he also made Kivica ready to attack at any time.

At this time, the Golden Moon Fleet discovered that the enemy fleet was attacking by the wind, and because the captains of the Golden Moon Fleet were waiting for Tim to give them a "lecture" on the flagship "Golden Moon" at this time, the various warships without the chief officer were immediately in chaos.

Some warships steal the limelight under the command of the co-captain, while others wait for the captain to return. Although Jackson wondered why the Golden Moon fleet behaved so poorly, he immediately seized the opportunity and ordered the fleet to concentrate fire on the enemy ships that dared to compete for the upper hand.

In this way, the numerical advantage of the Golden Moon fleet no longer exists, seeing this situation, Tim was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, "This is really self-inflicted, after this battle, it is better to say that if you win, if you lose, your own responsibility will be great." ”

When the other warship commanders of the Golden Moon fleet saw it, they couldn't care about Tim Angola anymore, and hurriedly scattered in all directions, rushing back to their warships in small boats, of course, at this time, they were all cursing in their hearts for Tim Angola, who had nothing to do.

The cannon roared, and Jackson, who had been prepared for a long time, took the lead in firing, and the dense solid shells broke the main mast of an enemy ship at that time, and along the way, several large holes were opened in that enemy ship, well, a wave of attacks seriously damaged an enemy ship and made it lose its combat effectiveness, a good start.

The battleships that rushed to the front of the Golden Moon Fleet also began to fire their cannons at this time, but they were already at the bottom of the wind, and they fired their own cannons, and the effect could be imagined, and the second round of shelling on Lin Feng's side rang out at this time.

This time the concentrated fire attack still achieved the result of seriously injuring an enemy ship, and by this time, Lin Feng's fleet had not yet suffered a single battleship, which made their morale more and more high, and Kivica Nande and they had already laid down the assault boat and chosen a target.

Kivika didn't want to be accidentally injured by their own fire, so they targeted the Golden Moon Battleships that fell behind. Paddled downwind, Kivika's assault boats weaved between the tall ships and quickly rushed to their target.

I don't know if it's the favor of fate, but the target chosen by Kivica is the flagship of the Golden Moon Fleet, the "Golden Moon". Tim Angola was losing his temper aboard the Golden Moon, he just didn't understand naval warfare, and at this time he saw that his fleet was at a disadvantage.

Tim Angora had foreseen his future, either stripped of all power and sent back to his hometown to become a commoner, or by the enraged Marquis hanging on the mast of the Golden Moon, and his corpse would be used to appease the wrath of the navy.

Kivica threw the flying claws in his hand vigorously on the assault boat, and the flying claws hooked the boat gang of the "Golden Moon", and the position chosen by Kivica was also relatively remote, he listened attentively, there was no reaction from it, it should not have been discovered by the people on the ship.
