After a few days of storms, the sea is calm again, although it is now autumn and the weather is not as hot as summer. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But today it was a rare sunny day, and the sky was blue, and there were seagulls flying across the sea and flying to the mast, chirping and chirping, and the sky was like a wash.

The clouds were reflected on the slightly rippling sea, and along with the reflection of the cold metallic texture of the warship.

Thirty warships were lined up in a crescent shape, black snake battle flags hung high on the masts, and the black muzzles exuded a dangerous atmosphere.

A young man stood on the bow deck and looked into the distance, his figure not strong, even a little thin, but still straight.

"My lord, will the Imperial Navy really come over? They have only fought two defeats, and now their morale is low, if it were me, they would definitely choose to retreat to the port. ”

Asik looked at the vast sea in the distance, and although he didn't question Lin Ye's judgment, he always felt that it was a little too magical.

"You didn't stand in the position of Kemp, of course you would choose to retreat, but Kemp is not, there is a saying that it is difficult to ride a tiger, have you ever heard of it?"

Lin Ye turned to look at Asik and smiled lightly, he had sent his handwritten letter to Camp two days ago, agreeing to fight a decisive battle here.

"It's hard to ride a tiger? I haven't heard of it, but it seems to be interesting when you chew it carefully, my lord, do you mean that Camp has to do this?"

Asik frowned sharply in thought, and finally thought fruitlessly and gave a not very sure answer, which was a new word for him.

"It's weird if you've heard of it, it's a saying in my hometown, and yes, there are at least four reasons why Camp has to go out of the harbor for a decisive battle. ”

Lin Ye stretched out his right hand and bent his thumb and made a general "four" gesture, which can be understood by any Chinese person.

"Four reasons, are there so many? But I can't think of any of them. Asik scratched his head, after all, he was only a sailor.

Being able to lead a warship as an officer and coordinate the work of various sailors was already the limit of his ability.

"The first reason is that the Imperial Navy has never suffered such a setback, and if it retreats to the port like this, the Navy will not be able to raise its head. ”

"The second reason, Heather's fiasco, although the main responsibility is he, the commander of the East China Sea Fleet, but if Camp does not do something, it is difficult to escape the blame. ”

"The third reason is that our presence will greatly restrain the actions of the navy, and if we are not defeated, they will lose their sea supremacy.

"The fourth reason, knowing that I am personally here, and that it is an open sea, and that the weather is fine, and that we have an absolute advantage in the case of knowing that we only have thirty ships, and that the cautious Camp will definitely be able to see the opportunity, and he will definitely go over to fight us. ”

Lin Ye lightly listed the four main reasons why Camp would come, so he waited very patiently and was not in a hurry at all.

"Alas, there are so many reasons, I can't think of any of them, and I really deserve to be the Duke, but what are we going to do when they come, and can we fight? They also have at least ninety warships, three times as many as ours, and it seems difficult to lose the favorable conditions of the weather and terrain. ”

Asik was still a little worried, after all, they had made full use of various favorable factors in the previous two battles to have the last laugh.

But Lin Ye didn't choose any battlefield, but chose such an open sea area in sunny weather, and simply gave up all the advantages.

"If it weren't for this kind of open sea, with Camp's cautious character, he would never have come to fight, unless he was more than 90 percent sure, but even so, we still have a 10 percent chance, and it seems that this opportunity is really not much. ”

Lin Ye smiled easily, there was no tension on his face, he couldn't tell that he was on the weak side at all, but seemed to be winning.

"But as long as you hold this 10% firmly in your hand, the victory is in the bag, and Camp seems to have a better chance, but the 90% chance of victory, he can only look at it from a distance, and he can't hold it in his hand. Lin Ye raised the monocular and looked into the distance.

At the end of the open sea, there are finally black spots, and the number of black spots is increasing, and it is very imposing to line them up.

"My lord, the Imperial fleet has appeared, are we going to prepare for battle now?"

Although morale is high now, not everyone is as calm as Lin Ye, and most people don't know what he is having.

In what way will they win this decisive naval battle? But the disadvantages are all too obvious.

But even so, all young sailors have the conviction that if they follow the Duke, no matter how difficult the situation.

None of them can defeat the battle! His appearance is always associated with the word "victory", and the previous battle of Crocodile Bay was no exception.

This time is no exception, as long as you strictly follow the orders of the Duke and go all out to persevere to the end, they will definitely win!

"Is it finally here? But don't worry, if you are in full position as soon as you come, you will scare our guests away, and the whole army will continue to be on standby. ”

Lin Ye waved his hand, he smiled and looked into the distance, looking in the direction of the Imperial Navy, no, his gaze was still going to pass through the fleet, pointing directly at Egret Harbor!

At this time, the Egret Harbor was undoubtedly deserted with the army led by Camp himself, and the port was empty, and there were sailors yawning and on duty.

After all, it has been stormy for several days in the last few days, and it is rare to have such good weather, and there are no stern officers to reprimand them.

They were also happy to be idle, sitting in front of the battery with their spears in their arms and talking casually, anyway, the main force of the enemy ships was engaged with the main force of the Imperial Navy.

Who can still take care of Egret Harbor? Moreover, they have occupied Egret Harbor for more than half a month, and there has been no problem.

"Do you think Lord Kemp can really win this battle? And that Far East Fleet is really so powerful, I heard that Commander Heather has been captured. ”

A soldier asked cautiously, for this decisive battle, most of the soldiers at the bottom were not very optimistic, after all, they had lost twice in a row before.

No matter how you look at this situation, it is more appropriate to defend it, right? Minister Camp also led the remaining warships to the battle.

"It's also the first time I've heard that this fleet can defeat the elite of our East China Sea Fleet, and they have to have four hundred ships, right?"

The slightly older veteran looked at the sea in the distance and sighed with some emotion, if he hadn't been lame, he would definitely have gone to the battlefield in person.

"Four hundred ships? That's twice the size of our East China Sea Fleet, no wonder they can defeat us, but how did so many ships be built?"

The young soldier was so frightened that he crossed his fingers and counted what an astonishing number.

"Maybe the Federal Navy of Southern Dermok is supporting it, who knows, but too much has happened in the Empire in the past two years. ”

The veteran chief sighed, he was still young when there was a turmoil last time, and more than twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, will this be a new turmoil?
