Country and Beauty

"Although you're right!" As the vice-consul of the combined Roman Mediterranean fleet, she was the actual marshal of the Roman navy when the consul was still not on the front lines in Constantinople. "The Mediterranean Sea is the inner sea of our Rome. Behind us is the island of Crete, the territory that we Roman warriors fought to the death with our blood. If we were to lose it in my hands, I would be the sinner of Rome. Even though I know that I am no match for him, I cannot retreat even half a step.

The dozens of Roman noble generals on the deck said in high spirits, "We will definitely win against the Seles. We will chop off their heads and present our gifts to the Emperor!"

"Well said, he is the true warrior of Rome!"

The sea showdown between Rome and the Qin State had truly begun! Zhou Yang stood on top of the watchtower of the "Great Emperor Han Wu", using his binoculars to observe the movements of the Roman Navy, and very surprisingly, he actually saw Zhu Lian's banner. This Zhu Lian, who was defeated by Zhou Yang in the Somali Basin, actually had the guts to face Qin Army's gunboat, it was truly courage!

Zhou Yang saw that the number of battleships in the Roman Navy was not much. According to Ma Niwusi's confession, the Roman Navy had around a thousand ships, including more than 600 large and medium-sized battleships, the number of Roman battleship in front of them was only less than 200. Although it was not the full strength of the Roman Navy, it was still close to five times more than the number of cannons that were around Zhou Yang.

At this time, the Roman Navy was like a half moon as they charged towards the Qin Army battleship. Relying on their advantage in numbers, the Roman Navy's imposing manner was extremely overwhelming!

In front of the Roman Navy who kept the naval battle on the string and relied on helping them in battle, Zhou Yang smiled coldly. Zhou Yang said: "Pass down the order! Prepare to pass down combat orders! The first order is to stop General Xu Le's army from attacking at all costs. Without orders, the entire fleet is not allowed to retreat even if they have to fight till only one soldier! "

"Second, order Zu Huan's troops to lure the Roman right-wing fleet and delay them for one hour! If he can't even do this, she can just jump into the sea! "

"The third one is to communicate with all the ships. They are to scatter freely and attack the left and right wings of the Roman battleship, which are close to the waterline. Send all the Roman battleship s to the bottom of the sea as far as possible, notify them to stop this continuous battle, and use cannons to settle this battle from three hundred meters away! "

The messenger quickly sent out the orders the messenger had sent out. In addition, there were no surveillance devices or radio interference devices in this era. Otherwise, the suits that were sent out in plain text would likely be bulky!

The "Great Emperor Han Wu" took the lead and took the lead, taking the lead to fire his first cannonball, the first battle was won, the first cannonball, accurately ordering the left string of a Roman battleship to eat the water line, the solid cannonball directly smashed a four inch thick wooden board, creating a large hole with a diameter of nearly half a meter, after a few minutes, the Roman battleship began to tilt, and slowly sank into the water!

Amidst the dense sounds of gunfire, the Qin Army had launched more than 40 gunboats and nearly 300 cannons. As they continuously fired, the entire Crete Sea area was covered in smoke, and the visibility rapidly decreased. In less than an hour of gunfire, the Qin Army had sunk into more than 30 Roman naval battleships, and almost half of the battleships were damaged to varying degrees!

At first, he thought that Zhu Lian deliberately exaggerated the battle strength of the Qin Army in order to hide his defeat. But now, it seems that the description of the Qin Army's battleship was even more astonishing than Zhu Lian's battle report!

He said with a trembling voice, "Zhu Lian, tell me, how can we defeat the Seles?"

Zhu Lian laughed bitterly: "With the same number of people, there's no possibility for us to defeat them. I originally thought that the speed of our Roman warships would surpass the speed of the Seles's, but it seems like I was tricked by them at that time!"

Just at this time, a cannonball landed on the flagship of Gaunez, causing the entire upper deck to become a mess. Gaunez suddenly realised that he could no longer hear anything, only Zhu Lian's mouth opened and closed, unable to make out what he was saying!

"What are you saying? Louder! I can't hear you! Louder!" At this moment, he no longer had the demeanor of a Roman noble. He did not have the calmness that a combined Mediterranean fleet vice-consul should have!

When Zhu Lian saw the crazy, demonic-like look of Gwyneth, he had no choice but to take over command of the fleet. The command post had crossbow gun s, which focused their fire on the "Great Emperor of Han Wu". Zhu Lian could easily see that the "Great Emperor Han Wu" was the flagship of the Qin Army's fleet. Although Rome didn't have the words to capture the enemy first, Zhu Lian knew that as long as he sunk or captured the "Great Emperor Han Wu", Rome would have a chance of winning.

All of a sudden, the Roman battleship charged towards the "Great Emperor Han Wu" like moths to a flame!

In fact, cannons were not everything, especially primitive cannons. Very quickly, facing the Roman battleship's suicide attack, the Hanwu Emperor gradually became unable to completely eliminate the Roman battleship that approached them!

Finally, a valiant Roman battleship approached the "Great Emperor Han Wu" at a distance of three hundred yards. At this moment, all the crossbow gun on this battleship started to attack the "Great Emperor Han Wu"!

In the face of Roman's madness, Zhou Yang did not panic at all. Zhou Yang ordered the gunners on the "Great Emperor Han" to use the seawater to pour on the red cannon barrel and used forced cooling methods to quickly restore the cannon's firepower. However, the crazy Roman did not give Zhou Yang the chance.

Facing this kind of saturated attack, even the later generations of Eternal Universe level battleships could not do anything. Similarly, other than the main cannon which had slightly less power, the "Great Emperor Han Wu", who had all sorts of technical parameters that could reach the battle prowess of the conventional warships in the world during the middle of the nineteenth century, did not even have the chance to avoid this attack. In just a few breaths of time, the "Great Emperor Han Wu", although the main body of the warship did not receive much damage, but the deck and upper story buildings were like they had been attacked by a hurricane!

Just then, the other gunboats rushed over to help the "Great Emperor Han Wu" to share the burden. It was only then that Zhou Yang realised that the ants in the rear could still shake their big tree!

Broken pieces of wood and corpses floated on the surface of the Cretan Sea. Although there was no sign of blood on the surface of the sea, the intense battle in the sea still made people feel oppressed.

Zhu Lian saw that the protection ship Han Wu Emperor was already in place, and Qin Army had already set up a half moon shaped Formation. Zhu Lian actually didn't know that this was different from their half moon formation, this was an ancient Chinese formation, the entire army was formed in an arc, shaped like a crescent moon, it was a kind of asymmetric Formation. When fighting, we should focus on attacking the flank, using the thick crescent moon to resist the enemy. The crescent moon may look weak, but it contains danger, the general should have a strong combat strength, the strong general should apply, and it also applies to some asymmetric terrain.

If it was a general from ancient China, even a third rate general would know the weaknesses and strengths of this formation, and would attack and defend against the characteristics of this formation. It was a pity that Zhu Lian did not know this, he thought that this formation was the same as the half moon formation in Rome.

Within fifteen minutes, the "Hanwu Emperor" had been struck with at least a hundred stone bullets. Over two-thirds of the buildings on the deck had been completely destroyed and had to be repaired. If Xie Fei were to know the appearance of the "Hanwu Emperor", he would definitely be furious!

The Qin Army's crescent moon was like a rock. No matter how he attacked, the crescent moon in the Qin Army's crescent moon was still as unmoving as a mountain, but at this moment, the two wings of the crescent moon array were like sharp blades, defeating the two wings of the Roman battleship!

Just then, Zhou Yang spoke to the soldier: Inform the airship troops, carry out the decapitation operation!

Immediately after, the Qin Army's "Great Emperor Han Wu", and a few other battleships that had airships took off at the same time.

At the same time, Zhu Lian felt that something was amiss. Right now, more than half of the battleships in the Roman fleet had lost their combat power. Zhu Lian was very angry and scolded angrily, "Magnus, Ha'is, those two bastards, they still haven't come back after so long!"

Just at this moment, Zhu Lian received a report: "They say that Ha'is has been obstructed fifty kilometers away, and is unable to break through for a short period of time. They will need at least half a day to reunite with Gaunez!"

"Look, what is that!"

"Fallen Angel!" It must be! This black angel must be a servant that has pledged his allegiance to the devil! "

The soldiers of the Roman fleet began to panic. They might not be afraid of death, but they were also afraid of something, like this little airship and the gliding wing! Just as Zhu Lian was in a daze, a aerial Heaven Bombing grenade that weighed more than fifty kilograms landed on the main mast of Zhu Lian's ship. The main mast had lost two of its secondary masts, but out of the five masts, three were broken, so it was unable to move at all! Just at this time, Zhu Lian who had lost his power became a live target.

Heaven Bombing grenade. The Molotov cocktails shot down one after another! Soon, smoke was billowing on the surface of the battleship, and the flames were blazing high into the sky. No matter how hard he tried to rescue the warship, he could do nothing about it!

Zhu Lian saw that something was wrong and decided not to flee. Zhu Lian didn't have any plans to sacrifice his life to Rome yet. He immediately followed his personal guards to the survival boat, causing the flagship to fall into a sea of fire, and the morale of the Roman fleet to plummet.

The Qin Army would naturally not let go of this opportunity to beat a drowning dog, and the cannons roared happily!
