Chapter 1199: Pincer Attack and Ambush

After the Frank army stopped shooting, Blaise roughly guessed what the Frank army general wanted to do.

Therefore, Blaise also sent an order to each ship, asking each ship to stop shooting.

And be prepared to retreat.

After the Frankish warships formed a dense wedge formation and pressed towards them, Blaise immediately ordered the entire army to retreat.

The vanguard of the Britannian army and the vanguard of the Frankish army started a chasing game on the lake Anga.

The vanguard of the Britannian Army continued to retreat.

The vanguard of the Frankish army pressed forward step by step.

"Quick! Chase after me!"

Ge Yunse shouted hard.

He saw very clearly that the retreat speed of the Britannia Army's vanguard could not match their forward speed!

Although their new warships from the Frank Empire are not flexible enough, they are still extremely fast in a straight line.

It was precisely because their new warships were advancing fast enough in a straight line that Ge Yunse dared to safely let his troops ram and sink the battleships of the Britannia Army.

The Britannia army's concentrated fire on his troops just now made Ge Yunse feel very aggrieved and angry.

He had secretly made up his mind to completely annihilate the vanguard of the Britannia Army and wipe away the evil spirit in his heart.

…

…

After Gyünther led the battleship to face the vanguard of the Britannia army, Otto led the generals to stand on the deck of the flagship Helles and watched the battle between Gyünther and the Britannia army.

After seeing Geyunse leading the ships to launch an assault, Otto's face showed some relief, and he secretly praised Geyunse's adaptability.

However, as Geunse's troops continued to advance, the happy smile on Otto's face gradually disappeared.

"Guyunse, you idiot!" Otto gritted his teeth and cursed, "Come back quickly! If you go deeper, you will enter the Britannia army's formation!"

It was naturally impossible for Otto's voice to reach Ge Yunse's ears.

The frustration of having been attacked by the Britannia army just now, but my own troops were unable to launch an effective counterattack.

As well as contempt for the Britannia Army, these two emotions impacted Geunse's brain.

Ge Yunse lost his normal sense and judgment.

There was only one thought left in Ge Yunse's mind at this time - assault! Come closer! Crash and sink the ships of the Britannia Army's vanguard!

The distance between the two armies of Geunse Army and Blaise Army was continuously shortened.

The distance between the two armies was close enough for Geunse to see clearly the expressions on the faces of the soldiers on the deck of the Britannia warship closest to them.

However - after seeing clearly the expressions on the faces of the soldiers on the deck of the Britannia warship closest to them, Geunse's pupils shrank slightly.

Because he discovered that there was no fear on the faces of the Britannia generals on the deck...

At this moment, Ge Yunse's mind calmed down a little. =

He began to notice something was wrong.

However - he woke up too late.

Just when Ge Yunse was shocked to realize that something was wrong,

He then saw two "black lines" floating on the sea on the far left and right of his field of vision, chasing them rapidly.

Ge Yunse felt that the blood in his veins froze at this moment.

The next moment after the blood in his veins was frozen, Ge Yunse yelled with all his strength:

"Turn the whole ship back! Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

…

…

The formation of the combined fleet composed of the Michael Knights and the Imperial Navy was a "crescent-shaped" military formation.

The two crescent points point directly towards the Frankish army's military formation, and the central concave point faces towards the Frankish army's military formation.

To use a vivid metaphor, the military formation of the United Fleet is like a "big embrace" that stretches out its arms towards the Royal Fleet.

Geunse, who was determined to pursue the vanguard of the Britannia Army, rushed too far forward in one breath.

The way he rushed forward just now was as if he was plunging into the arms of the United Fleet in one breath.

After Geyunse's troops penetrated into a sufficient area, the two "crescents" of the United Fleet's military formation immediately separated from the military formation and "clipped" Geyunse's army that had fallen into their ambush location.

The people who command these two "Crescent Moons" are the two generals under Su Cheng's command - Raymond and Samuel.

Su Cheng not only gave Blaise the task of attacking first in the first battle.

Also given to Raymond and Samuel.

The purpose of Su Cheng and others from the beginning was not to engage in boring long-range firefights or boarding battles with the Franks.

Instead, they wanted to use an ambush to severely damage the vanguard of the Royal Fleet.

Blaise was responsible for luring the enemy deeper and testing whether the Royal Fleet's new warships were as inflexible as they suspected.

Raymond and Samuel were responsible for launching a pincer attack after the vanguard of the Royal Fleet entered the ambush area, and worked with Blaise's troops to encircle and annihilate the vanguard of the Royal Fleet.

At this moment, the biggest drawback of the new warship of the Frank Empire - poor flexibility, was fully exposed.

Although Ge Yunse had asked the ships to turn and retreat quickly, the extremely poor flexibility of the new warships made their movements as slow as turtles.

While all the ships were still in the embarrassing situation of "turning only half way", the units of the combined fleet had already arrived.

The first to attack Geunser's troops were Blaze's troops - after all, they were closest to Geunser's troops.

When Geunser realized that he had fallen into a trap and ordered all ships to turn around and evacuate, Blaze silently ordered all his ships to turn around...

The situation of both sides was reversed in an instant.

The original pursuer became the pursued.

And the pursued became the pursuer.

Blaze's troops caught up with the Geunser army, which was still turning slowly.

This time, Blaze did not let his ships launch a long-range attack on Geunser's warships.

Instead, he approached each of Geunser's warships directly, using a special weapon specially used for boarding battles and landing on enemy warships - the boarding bridge, so that the generals and soldiers jumped onto the deck of Geunser's warships through the boarding bridge and launched a fierce boarding battle with the soldiers of Geunser's army.

For the convenience of your later reading and my writing, in the following chapters, the troops commanded by Su Cheng himself, that is, the combined fleet of the Knights of Michael and the Imperial Navy, are referred to as the [Combined Fleet].

On the surface of Lake Anga, the Frankish Empire fleet that fought a bloody battle with the combined fleet of the Britannia Empire, that is, the troops commanded by Otto, are referred to as the [Royal Fleet].

The Battle of Lake Anga was the final battle between the combined fleet of the Britannia Empire and the Royal Fleet of the Frankish Empire.

The troops responsible for blocking the East Lake Mouth of Lake Anga are referred to as the [Dengjiaer Army]. After all, the commander-in-chief of this army is Dengjiaer.
