Chapter 538: Naval Battle between Two Countries ([-])

The Anjou-pirate warships returned to the side of the giant ice formation.

The captains of the ships and naval officers jumped onto the ice layer to report the pursuit to Cameron Shancha, and at the same time discuss what to do next.

It is worth mentioning that Khadgar and Isabel flew high into the sky and left the ice area to return to the "Lyne Main Ship" 10 minutes ago.Afraid of being "made dumplings" by the returning Anjou-pirate fleet.

So the battle on the ice layer came to an end for the time being.
.
Captains, you speak to each other, denouncing the disgusting, cunning, despicable and shameless of the Lane Navy.

In short, it is a sentence: "It's not that we don't work hard, it's just that the enemy is too cunning."

Cameron frowned when he learned the reason for the failure of the pursuit battle.

This war is really difficult!

First, the three sky-level powerhouses that appeared in the enemy, then the new long-range powerful weapons of the Ryan Navy, and finally the high maneuverability of the ships that matched the new weapons.

One after another, Cameron's head swelled with pain.

When did the Lane Navy become so powerful?

Is this still the submissive Lane Navy he remembered?
.
But being stunned was not the solution. Cameron looked solemn and said: "Okay, I roughly understand your situation."

"Then Commander, what should we do next?"

The surrounding captains and naval officers all looked at Cameron eagerly: "That's right, the Ryan Navy's firepower has never stopped!"

On the sea 1.5 nautical miles to the south, the Lane gunboat is still focusing on the outer branches of the Anjou Navy and the pirate fleet.As they spoke, three or four more warships were sunk.

"This...let me think about it." Cameron felt that his head was about to split open.

Chasing but not being able to catch up, running but not being able to run away, he is also very desperate!

In desperation, Cameron could only brainstorm: "What do you think? What do you think should be done?"

The captains of each ship looked at each other, and one captain stood up:
"I think we should take the initiative to attack now and go to Kapur Port! When they arrive at Kapur Port, they can't continue to keep a distance from us, can they?"

"Your idea is so irrational. It will take at least more than a day for us to get to Kapur Port now. Do you want to expose our fleet to the threat of the enemy's long-range weapons?"

"Then what do you say?"

"If you ask me, we'd better retreat. Although we suffered a defeat, the enemy showed new weapons that can influence the situation of the battle. Our loss is not unjust."

"Impossible! The whole country is waiting for the news of our victory! You go back and tell them that we have failed? Wouldn't we be a complete joke? Besides, how can you guarantee that the Ryan Navy will not catch up?"

"It's not right to attack, and it's not right to retreat, so let's stick to it?"

"Perseverance will only lead to slow death! This is like a warrior standing still and letting a mage fight."

"Then we landed on shore?"

"Landing? You don't want all these ships?"

The captain and admirals discussed the next step. Cameron changed his usual impatience and joined the discussion.

It may be "three cobblers, Zhuge Liang is the best", or it may be the blessing of the God of Light.

After 15 minutes, Cameron and the others really discussed a feasible plan!

The content of this program is:
All the large warships retreated 1 nautical mile behind the ice layer.

Because of the existence of the ice, the Ryan fleet certainly did not dare to go around the ice to attack the large warships, and all the large warships were saved.

Then, they dispatched all warriors above the Black Iron level to small warships, and dispatched all small warships to attack the Ryan fleet.

Small warships have small targets and are flexible in operation. They are not easy to be hit by long-range weapons, and it doesn't hurt to lose some.

Coupled with the addition of middle and high-level fighters, the speed of small warships can also be greatly improved, and it is basically impossible for the opponent to use the "flying kite" tactic! .
Cameron Shancha is not an indecisive person, and he started to implement the plan as soon as he decided on it.

The first to bear the brunt were the fifteen civilian privateers following the fleet.

These fifteen privateers have been paddling around the edge of the battlefield with almost no loss.

Cameron came directly to the door: "I have requisitioned all these ships! You will lead the next wave of attacks!"

All the privateers were astonished, and the leader of the privateer who was under the golden rank quickly ran out and flattered him: "Commander, I am happy to charge for the country! But we are short of personnel, and there are not many strong people on board."

Cameron looked impatient, and directly grabbed the leader of the privateer to his side.

Click!
The privateer leader's arm was twisted.

"Now, do you have any objections?"

The leader of the privateer fell on the deck in pain and rolled, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't dare, we dare not have any opinions!"

"Okay, be honest and take the lead. If something goes wrong, it will be your neck that will be twisted next time!"
.
After the privateer was settled, Cameron summoned the pirates and followed suit, intimidating and luring.

In the end, a phalanx of small warships was formed, with privateers taking the lead, pirate ships in the middle, and the Anjou navy at the rear.

一共60艘小型战船分散开来，朝着莱恩海军发动进攻。（原本有86艘，安茹海军41艘、海盗30艘、私掠船15艘，被打沉了26艘。）
The Ryan Navy is also in a state of temporary ceasefire and rest.

There was no choice but to cease fire. The Anjou-Pirate coalition retreated the entire fleet to the sea area 1 nautical mile behind the ice.

The Lane gunboat couldn't hit targets that far away, and it didn't dare to get close to the ice, so it had no choice but to cease fire and rest.

Seeing that the Anjou-Pirate Alliance assigned high-level warriors to small warships, and that the small warships were also dispatched and ready to attack at any time, Sean and other Ryan navy officials immediately understood their plan.

So Sean called Windsor, Khadgar, and Isabel to the command room for a meeting.
.
In the command room, Khadgar praised the Anjou navy as soon as he entered:
"This response method of the Anjou Navy is very good! Small warships have small targets, large numbers, and fast speed. They are indeed suitable for dealing with our gunboats."

Sean also nodded: "That's right, it seems that there are capable people in the Anjou Navy who can come up with this set of countermeasures in such a short period of time. Sure enough, as I said, every regular army cannot be underestimated." watch for."

Isabel frowned: "Sean, how should we deal with them? Continue with the 'kite tactics'?"

"Well" Sean thought for a while, but couldn't think of any particularly good solution, so he started brainstorming: "I don't have any particularly good solution, what should I do?"
