Sensing the change in the Arubanian Army, Elda immediately adjusted his deployment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 He attacked the scattered Arubanian detachment one by one, with ten foreign steamers led by his own flagship as the main assault force.

Since the opponent's goal is guerrilla warfare, and it resolutely abandons the flagship's practice of controlling the overall situation, that is to prevent Elda from taking the central breakthrough and directly taking over the command center. Therefore, Elda had no choice but to retreat and choose to break the opponent's detachments one by one. Of course, this will waste a lot of time, and it will also cause more casualties to your own ships, but now Elda has no other cards to play. His only advantage now was the outer ships produced by the Silk Country, which, although bulky, were superior to the others in terms of maneuverability, and their armament was the best in the entire fleet. Taking advantage of this, Elda hopes to dismantle the command system of several detachments as quickly as possible, and obtain a more favorable situation for friendly forces.

The naval battle outside the Anmen fortress was ostensibly unrelated to the pitch of battle, but in fact it was a desperate gamble between the two sides. The Second Fleet of Palci was like a tiger, and the Arubanian fleet was like a pack of wolves, the tigers had no strength but could not claw the wolves, and the wolves surrounded them, waiting for an opportunity to tear a piece of flesh from their bodies.

In this melee, only the commando team led by Elda became the highlight of it. With the powerful hull and steering ability of the outer steamer, he launched one attack on the Arubania detachment after another. The detachment he was targeting could only be described as unfortunate, because these ships could not confront them head-on, and the weapons they possessed could hardly hit these outer ships, and even if they did, the effect was very limited. Elda, on the other hand, took full advantage of the ship's weapons and inflicted heavy damage on the enemy ship from a safe distance. Under Elda's command, the ten outer ships cooperated with each other to cover each other, and within an hour of the battle, they managed to sink five enemy ships and ram and sink one, including the flagship of a detachment.

But before Elda could rejoice in this result, he discovered another harsh reality, that is, the ships of the detachment that had lost their flagship immediately and automatically came under the command of the other detachments and continued to attack the Palci fleet. During the period of his own attack, one large ship of the Palch fleet was completely on fire, and four other sails were set on fire and gradually lost power.

It won't go on like this. Elda knew very well that with the superiority of the foreign ships and his own command, it was indeed difficult for the Arubanian fleet to pose a threat to it, but this did not include other ships, and they were in a difficult position to resist in the face of local tactics. If this consumption continues, eventually the Palci Second Fleet will be reduced to only ten foreign ships. If that happens, the Arubania fleet will have the strength to spare, and if they adopt the tactics of fire attack that will end in the same fate, they will have to be completely annihilated. I have to do something to save this situation.

"Herald! Seize the upper hand, and the whole army will line up in a goose formation to assault the enemy! Elda ordered.

This was a tactic of forcing a breakthrough, and Elda intended to use the tonnage advantage and speed of the outer steamer to ram the enemy ship. It is to be expected that the enemy will be able to evade as quickly as possible, so this formation must be as wide as possible and the distance between the ships must be reduced. However, this will expose two weaknesses, the first is that the ship's maneuverability and evasion ability will be worse due to friendly ships, and the other is that if the opponent forcibly carries out a fire attack, the flagship in the middle of the line will be the most difficult ship to avoid such an attack.

Elda's move was to force the enemy to use fire on him, so that the Arubanian fleet would have to concentrate its forces to complete this tactical move, thus allowing the Parch fleet to take advantage of it, but it was almost certain that its flagship would be attacked by enemy fire.

In order to complete the maneuver of this formation, two more ships lost power when their sails caught fire. But under Elda's command, the Palci fleet quickly completed the adjustment of formation, so that when the Palchi fleet attacked, the Arubanian fleet did not react for a while.

"What a man of the kind." Mapsur sighed.

As a veteran of battle, Mapsur naturally saw Elda's intentions, if he insisted on the original tactics at this time, then some of his ships would inevitably be smashed to pieces under the opponent's strong tactics, and the Arubanian fleet would only be able to harass its flanks and rear. If you repeat it a few times, your fleet will be smashed to pieces, and the tide of the battle may be turned around.

Mapsur immediately readjusted his deployment - since the other side sacrificed his life to fight a decisive battle with him, it was naturally the best choice to directly destroy his flagship in front of the enemy army and disintegrate the opponent's chain of command, and under the tactics of forced fire attack, the success rate of this matter was nine out of ten.

In an instant, the blood belonging to the military commander filled the veins of Mapsur.

"Take off the head of the enemy general!" This order also made the blood of the Arubanian army boil.

In order to ensure the success of this sortie, Mapsur concentrated forty ships as the main attack. He knew very well that the forty ships would almost certainly be consumed by the enemy's ships, but as long as he could sink the enemy flagship and kill the enemy commander, the gamble would be worth it.

In order to cover the main attacking force, the Arubanian ships did their best to divide the formation of Palci, and some large ships even did not hesitate to engage the opposing side in a brutal fray, while the forty warships of the main attack rushed at full speed towards the position of the Palchi flagship.

Just as they were approaching the range of their bows, Elda's flagship suddenly slowed down, and its outer wheels began to reverse and reverse. At the same time, the two large sub-unit warships to the left and right of the flagship rushed forward and began to charge towards the Arubanian fleet.

This change was too fast, and the Arubanian ship didn't have time to react, and suddenly two battleships were inserted into the hull by the ramming angle of the Yaji battleship. At this time, the two Yaki warships immediately began to turn their rudders, insisting on turning the Arubanian with them. If this tactic is successfully used by Parci, the center of the Arubanian main attack fleet will be disrupted, leaving a valuable time for other nearby Palci ships to attack, and the casualties of the main attack fleet will be even greater, and it may also be slipped away by Elda's flagship.

At this point, the captains of the Arubanian fleet immediately separated the two closest ships, and they forced a broadside battle with the two Yaqui warships, thus disrupting the other side's attempts, while the other ships advanced with all their might to prepare for a fire attack. Elda's actions were unexpected, but they only delayed the firestorm, as it was not so easy for him to break away from the enemy when he was in a tailwind position.

At this time, the balance of war was tilted, but not because of the two sides fighting to the death, but on the sea level to the east. The shadow of a fleet came into view, and it was the Palci detachment led by Misherva who had arrived on the battlefield. (To be continued.) )
