It was almost sunset when I stayed at the Inner Harbor Pier at Baigang from noon. Lynn seemed to be still unsatisfied. Margaret Tyrill and the old butler Alfred sent someone from the Lord's Mansion to inquire twice, but Lynn had no intention of going back.

The Hanniu was having a lot of fun on the boat, and he was afraid that he would not be unwilling to spend the night here. The thin monkey continued to hang on the edge of the deck bored, his stomach full of doubts. He knew that his lord had planned his leisure and entertainment very clearly. Now there are so many affairs in the northern border, it doesn’t seem like he wasting a lot of time.

Just when the thin monkey couldn't help but ask.

"Send someone to the mansion to inform you, and you said we have spent the night at the dock and didn't catch big fish today. I plan to stay for one more day!" Lin En said with a tough tone.

The thin monkey looked at Lin Enku sitting on the rattan chair on the deck, leisurely savoring the hot leaf juice he got from somewhere. He was a little confused when he heard this.

The skinny monkey stood up from the side of the deck and said, "Sir, you are sitting there, can't this fish jump onto the boat by itself?"

"Don't the fish get on the boat by themselves?"

"No, if the fish would jump on our boat by themselves, the fishermen entering and leaving the port would be disappointed."

"That's the fish here. Let's go out to sea. Send a guard home and tell me. Don't worry the people in the mansion."

The thin monkey grabbed his hair and said, "Although there are not many drifting ships in the narrow sea outside our northern border, it is dark. We are still a bit dangerous after all when we go out to sea. I heard that some of the Esos wandering in the narrow sea have begun to rob merchant ships and fishing boats on the sea. If you really want to fish, I will inform the Gripen fleet to prepare to gather together and form a huge fleet to go out to catch fish together."

"Then tell Jack Sberlow, commander of the Gripen fleet, that his fleet will go out to sea as well. Take more fish and can also exchange meat, fur, and tendon with the shepherds who slaughtered in winter.

There are fewer and fewer caravans going back and forth from Dorn. The closer winter is, the harder it is. It is always better to be prepared for any eventuality."

When the thin monkey heard this, he looked at Lin En with some resentment and said, "Sir, do you really want the warship to go out to catch fish?"

Lynn laughed and said, "You go and do your business quickly, you'll know later."

The thin monkey understood in a second, "Ah! Let's go now." Then he rushed down the broken fishing boat parked next to him like a wild person, and shouted: "Send someone back and tell your family that you won't go back tonight, and ask the mansion to send some warm and cold clothes to come."

Lin En saw that the thin monkey had quickly arranged the matter, then ran back to her excited look of waiting for the appointment, squinted her eyes and shook her head, "You just want to pass a message to your family, why did you still send me some fur clothes?"

The thin monkey was shocked and said, "Young Master, aren't we going to the narrow sea to catch the fish of Esos?"

Lin En looked at the thin monkey's eyes and said strangely: "How did you judge this?"

"I just saw the Gripen fleet anchored at the outer port wharf and began to transport supplies to the warships. I thought that there was only one thing you had to do when you went to sea, so... we would not have the Ethus people to rob. Although those people were floating on the sea, as long as they received the wind, they would hide at the Ram Gate. Over time, there would be no one on the narrow sea in the northern border. So since you want to go out to sea to catch fish, you might as well spend more time to catch them all in one net."

Lynn smiled and shook his head, "Skinny Monkey, you forgot one thing. The Ethos are just a synonym. Just like the Westeros, they have never been a harmonious whole. Some Ethos would rather wander in the narrow sea than get involved with the Free City-Confederate Alliance of the Ram Gate. However, the narrow sea is so wide, we are the sharks on the narrow sea. The whereabouts of the fish should be decided by the sharks.

Before the Southerners came, we drove all the wandering Gentiles in the Narrow Sea to the Ram Gate during this period. I want to make the entire northern part of the Narrow Sea move."

"Sir, you asked the New Minister Army to withdraw after winning the first battle. Do you want to capture all the Esos who are active in the northern border?"

Lynn stood up and whispered: "Winter is coming, and we have nothing in the north, so we have more materials and food. The Essos brings everything we need, enough for us to survive the long winter."

Destroy other people's sea ranches, burn down the slow-legged Essus ships, cut off other people's life, take the first batch of spoils out of the Naka Sea, and send them back to Baigang.

Then, he led the sea herders who had no way to live and continued to rob, then destroyed other people's ships and robbed all other people's living supplies until he could not see the wandering ships or pirates outside the northern narrow sea. These people naturally gathered in the Gongyangmen area of ​​the northern border controlled by the free city-state people.

Since the Esos are not the same line, let the gathering of forces at the Ram Gate make it complicated. At that time, it may not necessarily be that the Gripen Legion and the New Minister Legion put a little pressure on the outside, and they will collapse internally.

These things can be done, but they cannot be said. This goal may be achieved, or may not be achieved. However, Lin Enping's goal of plundering materials in the eastern part of the north will definitely be achieved.

Fourteen sail warships set off from Baigang, exited Baigang's estuary and arrived through the Jieren Bay, passing through the beach outside the Fishing Village Port, and arrived at the narrow sea area, it was already late at night. The cold moonlight shone on the sea surface, and Lin Neng took out the wine bottle. The huge three-masted sailboat seemed to be slightly rippling in the bottle, and the sails moved without wind.

The black hull was shining with cold light under the moonlight, and the huge Gripen flag was rushing under the sea breeze, and the waves hit the hull, stirring up white fog.

Tatta.

It was the crisp sound of horse boots stepping on the deck.

The door of the captain's room was opened, and a man in leather clothes and naval mail walked out, with a pair of shiny horse boots on his feet and walked to the center of the deck.

"Sir, are you looking for subordinates?"

Lin En frowned and said, "Can I say that my first deal can only rob the elderly, weak, women and children?"

Captain Grien chewed the snow in his mouth, and a natural anti-seasy herb said vaguely: "Report to the master, Captain Jack, the commander of the fleet, said that as long as the first transaction goes smoothly, the second transaction will go smoothly."

Lin En said coldly: "Nonsense!"

The thin monkey on the side laughed and said, "Anyway, your fleet commander has led six warships to bypass the middle of the narrow sea and encircled the enemy's rear triangle area. The front is left with eight warships and several bait ships. Didn't you say that this battle is fully commanded? When the transaction is over, you can question him."

Looking at the three bait boats that disappeared into the darkness from the captain's room, Lynn's mood became heavy inexplicably.

Lynn's clearance of the narrow sea this time was not a hot-headed operation. The White Harbor Navy's attack was based on Jack's recent laws and intelligence on the activities of the Haysos wandering ships outside the north.

From the narrow sea area east of the Bite Bay, there is a triangular waters. From evening to dawn, the Ursus' reconnaissance ships and robbers often come here for patrol and reconnaissance.

Because this time is often when sea trade ships and fishing boats in the north that have been salvaged for one day return to their voyages. Of course, some ships that missed the water gates of the estuary at the estuary of the north terminal were forced to stay outside the narrow sea and stay overnight.

The dim twilight can cover up the movement of the pirate ship at sea, which will help the sudden appearance of the pirate ship of the Esos that cannot be taken down and abandoned the goods, and will accelerate the fishing boat or merchant ship with all efforts.

The specific action of the Gripen Legion's attack was to use several slow-moving fishing boats as bait to lead the enemy's fastest-moving sail reconnaissance ships and robbers to the sea west of the Bite Bay, and then divide and attack them with powerful sail warships previously deployed outside the Esos vision.

Under the cover of night, the Gripen fleet began to stand by in the Triangle Sea as previously deployed.

In the early morning, Lin En was woken up by Hanniu from the captain's bed.

The enemy's rapid sail reconnaissance ships were found in the Triangle Sea, with a total of five. They observed the three large fishing villages in the ambush area several miles away. One of them was hiding in the corner of the sea level, watching the movement of the fishing boat in front of them from afar. After confirming that the fishing boat was just hovering on the sea surface and huddling together to keep warm, they continued to leave quietly in the direction of the coming.

The other four reconnaissance ships quickly entered the ambush circle. After finding that the fishing boats had not noticed their movements, they bravely leaned forward slowly. However, they quickly fell into the trap. Dozens of swords and axes were arranged in the three fishing boats who were good at naval battles.

After the few sentry enemies were connected, they were soon killed by the Gripen Navy on the fishing boat.

Lin En smiled slightly when he heard the report. The enemy's reconnaissance blindly entered the ambush circle, which shows that these people have been rampant at sea recently and never thought that they would be fishing and enforcing the law at sea. Now, the ambush circle has increased from three fishing boats to seven.

With the style of the Esos wandering ship in the narrow sea, we will definitely come to investigate the situation.

After touching his face, he no longer had the desire to sleep. He simply put on his clothes and stood up, came to the quiet deck, and calmly waited for the ambush circle in the distance to appear.

The northern sea surface in winter is unbearable. Fortunately, the sea breeze is not strong today. Although standing on the deck of the blue waves, Lin En's wool fur coat is still cold enough.

The boats that came back to report the news began to return more and more. The morning gradually came, and the vision gradually became clearer and clearer. The three-masted sail warship where Lin En was located was hidden in the fog, but it seemed that he could see more and more ships in the ambush circle gathered.

"Fire!"

A loud shout came into everyone's ears, and then, Lynn saw the end of the sea in the distance, and balls of flames burned forward. Rows of fire appeared from the sea level in the distance, in total three rows of nearly forty or fifty ships.

"Finally come!"

Lynn stood on the deck and was secretly happy. At the same time, seven or eight sailors rushed up from the originally empty deck. There were also sounds in the rest cabin of the navy soldiers. The command ship began to get busy. The sailors were the first to turn the anchor wheel located on the front deck and raise the anchors hanging from stones or raked into the soil from the sea.

More sailors and well-dressed soldiers began to walk out of the cabin and climb up the deck from the lower spiral ladder.

Three huge sails began to be hung.

Adjust the sails, and the three-masted warship slowly moved forward from the silent state of the sea surface.

I don’t know how long it took, but when the Triangle Sea ambush circle was filled with fishing boats that were mooring in the sea and the swaying Essos reconnaissance ship, a long horn sounded, and someone lit the windproof lights on the command ship where Lynn was located. Lynn immediately saw bright lights appearing in the fog on the left and right fronts in the command room on the second floor.

All the lights are moving, and in the fog, it looks like a bright fireflies in the mist. When the fireflies are a nautical mile away from the fireflies in the center of the circle, dense flames are coming from the center of the fireflies, covering the sky and cover to the Ursos fleet that is surrounding the bait fishing boats.

After the three-wheeled arrow rain, the three-masted sailboats were placed at the back of the side of the ship. A group of Gripen Navy soldiers who were landing and fighting were waving their weapons from this end of the sea and quickly rowed forward.

The sound of killing sounds quickly spread on the battlefield. Fireflies rushed out of the fog and began to use the huge sailing warships to intercept the pirate ships trying to escape. Some of the already broken and unreliable brig ships were even hit in two by the sharp and heavy bows of the Gripen warship.

The pirates of the Ambush circle beat the gong desperately, trying to encourage them to gather together to complete the breakthrough. Unfortunately, the Triangle Sea is not only an ambush fleet in Linn, but nearly a nautical mile of waters, and are fighting everywhere. It is not easy to gather together.

Lynn's battle was at the head of the battlefield. Because the Gripen fleet had the most ambushed warships, the battle quickly entered one side, while the battle in the far end of the tail was still continuing, and it meant that the battle became more and more intense. There were six battleships led by fleet commander Jack himself.

Since the Gripen fleet at the tail is the least and is just in the direction of the enemy's escape, there is an average of one Gripen fleet that needs to face the combat power of three or four or even five Ursus ships at the same time. Listening to the shouts of the rear battlefield even overshadowing the head battlefield close to Lynn, you can guess how tragic the battle there is.

Lin Neng felt heartbroken when he saw it. He wanted to order his command ship that only provided long-range strikes from afar and went around to help, but was stopped by the ship's deputy Grien.

"The sea is more dangerous than the land. If you take the risk of appearing on the battlefield, you might as well kill me first!"

Hanniu was so excited that whenever an enemy pirate ship was overturned, or the sails were ignited, and the supplies were moved back to his warships by the stormtroopers in batches, he would scream happily.

Lynn also knew that he had no experience in naval combat command, so he stopped insisting. He told the ship deputy Grien that at least put the command warship team in a state of reinforcement and preparation for participating in the on-board attack if necessary, this was his highest-level order as the master of the Grien Fleet.
