After five days of silence when the Combined Fleet was struggling to find a place for the Far East Fleet on the sea, Lin Ye finally left the island. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He led the fleet slowly southward, and after a large shift, the target was neither Seagull Harbor nor Crescent Island, where the Combined Fleet was located.

Rather, there is a port on the south side called Yingge Harbor, which is about a two-day voyage from Seagull Harbor, and the scale is far from comparable to Seagull Harbor.

In fact, Yingge Port has always existed as a subsidiary port of Seagull Port, and its strategic position is not particularly prominent, and it is unremarkable.

After the previous storm, the weather in the next few days was sunny and windy, Lin Ye stood on the deck and raised his binoculars to look at the past from afar.

From his vantage point, he could probably see the outline of Yingge Harbor, but he didn't choose to land directly, but stationed on a nearby island.

"My lord, let's leave Seagull Harbor unguarded, what are we doing in this Yingge Harbor, isn't this just a plain little port. ”

Crouff didn't understand what Lin Ye was doing this, and under normal circumstances, they weren't waiting for the collapse of the Combined Fleet near Seagull Harbor.

How could he leave the battlefield and come to such a far place, but there was only doubt in his words, and there was no meaning of questioning.

After all, he had been following the young duke for a long time, and he knew that he must have his own reasons for doing things, and he would not act rashly.

"Yingge Port does not seem to have a strategic position at first glance, the sea area is not as open as Seagull Port, there is no Seagull Port is not rich, and there is no big city backed by it, it does not have a strategic advantage, it only exists as a backup port of Seagull Port, but there is a problem here. ”

"That is, Yingge Port is the largest fishing port on the east coast of the empire, and there are a large number of fishing villages gathered near the port, and the fishing resources are very rich. ”

Lin Ye paused, and he pointed to several villages near Yingge Harbor on the map, which listed the details of these villages.

He has at his disposal a number of maps, ranging from well-defined maps of the geographical situation to maps of the distribution of regions in great detail.

"Fishing villages, but what are we doing in these fishing villages? Is it strange to come here to fish, shouldn't we keep an eye on the Combined Fleet?"

Even if Crouff figured out the geography of Yingge Harbor, he still couldn't understand why he came here, and it was a critical period of war.

"It's right that we're keeping an eye on the Combined Fleet, it's just that we're just going to where they want to come before them, and it's not us who are eyeing the fishing village, it's them, of course they're not here to fish, but the fishing village has about 20,000 fishermen besides fish. ”

Lin Ye looked at the sea from a distance, there were several fishing boats fishing, and they seemed to be unaware of the impending danger.

"20,000 fishermen? How can there be so many people? It's worth a small town, isn't it too dense?"

Krufu was stunned, according to his common sense, there are only a few hundred people in a village at most, but Lin Ye actually said the number of 20,000, which is really huge.

"Because this is the largest fishing transit base in the empire, but most people automatically ignore it, plus the existence of Seagull Harbor, so its status is easy to be overlooked, when the combined fleet besieged Seagull Harbor, it thought that as long as it took Seagull Harbor, it would be able to open up the gateway to the royal capital, so it didn't care about a small fishing port like Yingge Harbor at all, but now it is different, and now they are facing a great dilemma. ”

"In order to open up the situation, under the premise that they can't land from Seagull Harbor, their best choice is to start from Yingge Harbor and land. ”

Lin Ye drew a straight line on the map between Crescent Island, where the United Fleet was located, and Yingge Harbor, which would take about two days to reach.

"But even if they landed at Yingge Harbor, what could they do? There were only fishermen here, and there were no rich towns nearby, and the terrain here was too open, and further north, west, and south were surrounded by mountains, so that it was easy to show that they were besieged and annihilated. ”

Crouff became more and more suspicious, although he didn't know naval warfare, he still knew some land warfare, and the terrain behind Yingge Harbor was not very good.

"It must be very difficult for them to travel from Yingge Harbor to the royal capital, but what if they just want to lure us in? whatever those 20,000 people are, they are all subjects of the Empire, and in the event of a massacre...... That's a great shock to the surroundings, no, it's not attraction. ”

"They originally planned to do this, they calculated that we would definitely launch a rescue towards Yingge Harbor, so they just need to slaughter in Yingge Harbor while waiting for us to appear, this is really a good calculation, no matter how you look at it, it will not suffer for them. ”

Lin Ye quickly judged the intention of the combined fleet, and it was not without reason that he came to Yingge Harbor one step ahead.

"They're doing this? Damn, isn't this an outright act of piracy? Are we here early to ambush them, my lord? If so, that's great, we're going to have to take a head on them, and give them some color, those shameful pirates!"

Crouff looked resentful, the army between the two countries is at war, and it is not a tacit understanding and rule that innocent people will not be slaughtered.

But the people in the Combined Fleet don't seem to have these concerns at all, which is really annoying, and it's no wonder that Crouff is so angry.

"Ambush here, but it's not easy to fight against a large fleet, and what will happen next, who knows, maybe you won, or maybe I won, but whoever wins, it's time to decide. ”

Lin Ye looked back at the open sea, which would be the direction in which the combined fleet would sail, and he quietly waited for them to arrive.

The waves crashing on the island's sand, the seagulls chirping, everything is so peaceful and peaceful.

Meanwhile, on the flagship of the Combined Fleet, Pason's secret talks with Maud were still ongoing, and they had excluded Haigel, who was the chief of staff, from involving him, because part of their plan at this time was against the Boltons, how could they let him in?

"Big brother, but the supplies of the Bolton family can't be delivered, if you deceive the soldiers like this, I'm afraid the situation will be very bad. ”

Maud was a little worried about this, he knew very well that he was no longer in control of the situation, and that he was only a thin line away from collapse.

If they deceive the soldiers again, the flames of their wrath will destroy the entire fleet, and they will not be able to save themselves.

Not to mention that he wants to seek revenge on the man's son back then.

"Not to mention that at that time, we may have already laid down Yingge Harbor to find supplies, even if we don't, then just let the Bolton family take the blame, anyway, our alliance with the Bolton family is not stable, that guy from Haiger must have a different heart, right?"

Pasong looked at the Bolton family's warship from afar.
