Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

At this time, the Iberian fleet also found the enemy in front, and Admiral quickly made the fleet ready to fight. He took a single column formation. This formation mainly focused on single-on-one capture and killing. The ship's sailors have higher requirements for maneuvering, so the Iberia fleet is also very self-sufficient.

In fact, the three-layer paddle ship was originally invented by the Phoenicians. Even the sea collision tactics were their first creation, but the maritime tradition of hundreds of years is both the glory of Carthage and their embarrassment. Even if the powerful Syracuse navy was defeated by the emerging Dionysian Navy more than a decade ago, it did not touch the Carthage fleet too much. On the contrary, the vast majority of Carthage naval generals and sailors believe that the Syracuse people's boating skills are too bad to lead to failure, if they are, will never make the Syracuse people stupid mistakes.

For the Dionysian Navy, their tactics have been improved, as can be seen from the formation of the Third Fleet. The first half of it is a three-layer paddle with a crow suspension bridge. There are a total of 100 ships, and the latter half are 50 conventional three-layer paddles with a crow suspension bridge arranged in a column. The two sides of the starry array are 50 small and medium-sized warships.

This is the ongoing improvement by the Department of Military Affairs of the Department of Denia and several senior generals of the Navy, after several sea battles with Syracuse, based on the defects revealed by the crow warships and the problems found in the training. The fleets have adopted a mix of crow warships and conventional three-layer paddle warships. Basically, the crow warships account for 2/3 of the three-layer paddles, and the conventional three-layer paddles account for 1/3.

The Navy also modified the structure of the two three-layer paddle warships: the crow warships mainly rely on the suspension bridge to lock the enemy ships and win by the infantry. Therefore, the hull is longer and the hull is wider. The bottom of the warehouse is spacious, the infantry are staying inside, not feeling crowded and narrow. After all, with the expansion of the kingdom territory, the fleet can fight with the enemy. It is impossible to fight again after a port of departure. It is often possible to patrol a enemy for a day or two. Traces, at this time to ensure that the sailors and infantry on the ship have a more comfortable living environment, which is conducive to maintaining their combat effectiveness, while the crow warships also add some weight to the stern, so that after the suspension bridge is installed, the front and rear can be balanced. It is more stable when sailing.

If the crow warship sacrifices speed, guarantees comfort and safety, then Dionya's conventional three-layer paddle warship will make up for the lack of speed of the crow warship, so its hull is narrow and the hull is relatively small. Short, shaped like a willow, even the mast is lower, and the number of sailors in each ship is reduced to 150. The Military Department assembled a number of well-known shipmen from Dionia to test and finalize the three-layer paddle ship. Therefore, its maximum ship speed can reach 15 knots, and its flexibility is also high, so it is worn. The Onyail sailors call it a fast three-layer paddle battleship.

In general, these fast three-layer paddles are arranged behind the ship's array. After the start of the naval battle, they shuttle between the gaps of the ship, protecting the crows that are on board, and hitting those who attempt to get around them. The enemy ship. When the enemy fleet retreats, they will use their faster ship speed to pursue the battle to expand the results.

This was an encounter, and no one on both sides avoided the war. On the contrary, the sailors’ enthusiasm for fighting was very high. They quickly adjusted the warships in the sea on the ten-mile radius according to the order of the commander, and arranged the ship’s array. They listened to the flute of the piper, shouted the neat number in the mouth, and pushed the paddles hard. As the frequency of the pulp increased, the ship sailed through the waves, and its speed was like flying.

The forefront of the warships on both sides is about to come together...

In the back of the Iberian naval commander Admiral, listening to the screaming on the mast, his hands clenched his fists: the first naval battle of Carthage and Dionia was about to begin. I firmly believe that victory will belong to the Carthaginians with a long history of navigation!

"Boom!...Boom!..." A frame of the crow suspension bridge rotted and smashed through the deck of the enemy ship, connecting the two warships together.

"Hades!!!!" 40 of the Devonian infantry rushing out of the bottom of the battleship, rushing over the suspension bridge and killing the enemy ship. These infantry special infantry and the army soldiers loaded on the original warship have been very different, not only the number of people reduced by ten, but also wearing leather helmets and leather armor, and the left hand is a full wooden long shield. The leather sandals worn by the feet have criss-crossing grooves... The changes in these weapons and the reduction of weight are more conducive to their flexible battle on the warship, not easy to slip on the slippery deck.

When the Denia Fleet infantry killed on an enemy ship, Admiral's excitement disappeared without a trace, and in exchange for the coldness of the heart, he finally could only make a painful order to retreat.

The first battle between Dionia and the Carthage Navy lasted only half an hour. The third fleet of the Dionya captured Carthage III at the cost of five ships being damaged and six ships damaged. There were 18 layers of paddles and four ships, and they won a big victory.

Haas Drupa, who had just broken the port, watched the whole process of the naval battle at the lighthouse at the port of Cerro Dimm, witnessing the unique tactics of the Dionynian fleet that led to the fiasco of the Iberian fleet, which made him Shocked, but also made his joy of occupying the city of Cerro Diam vanish.

For the people of Cerro diam, who are evacuating from the sea, the victory of the Dionysian sea war also caused the lost to boost their confidence in returning home.

On the second day, the unwashed Hasdruba received the news that "the main unit of Carthage was defeated on the south coast." Although he was gloating, he felt the danger of his situation and did not wear the threat of the south. The Oni people are likely to transfer troops to deal with his lonely army in the depths of the enemy, but from the South Coast to the North Coast, the Devonians need some time.

In the afternoon, he met with the messenger of Palermos who had rushed in, and finally made his determination to hesitate. It turned out that the third fleet of Dionia sailed west in the morning and landed on the coast near Palamos. After thousands of infantry on the ship came ashore, they attacked the Iberia army’s reserve camp, although The vigilance and stubborn resistance of the left-behind troops failed to allow them to attack the camp, but it also caused some serious damage.

Hasdruba decided to lead the army to retreat back to Palermos, where he stayed for a while, waiting for the Carthaginian Senate to make a new decision, because he realized that the defeat of the main force led by Monte Adeno is likely to lead to A new political storm.

At the time of the retreat, Hasdruba allowed the soldiers to completely smash the city of Cerro Dim, so that they would not encounter any trouble again when they attacked.

.............................................

Vinosa, a town in the northwest corner of the Puceti region, is rumored to be one of Homer’s heroes, Diomedes, who lived here after the Trojan War, sought a peaceful life and built the town. And the temple of Aphrodite to quell the wrath of the love **** to destroy the city of Troy she loves, so this town is also known as the city of Aphrodite, which shows the puppies The blood and cultural connection between the Titians and the Greeks.

At this time, however, this town, which was loved by the gods of love, was once again ravaged by the war. It was surrounded by the Samonais, and a small number of civic soldiers were stubbornly resisting the enemy's four sides.

"To urge the tribal leaders to continue to step up their attacks, be sure to capture the town before dusk!" Leskuk looked at the battle ahead of the city, and some anxiously loudly issued orders.

"Yes, big leader!" The guards took the lead.

One side of the Karachini leader, Contruk, gave him a look and comforted him. "You don't need to rush again. Don't worry, I can't stand the enemy. I can definitely win the town before dark." ""

"I am just...somewhat worried about the Dionyns, we must hurry up, plunder more people and supplies, and have more chips that threaten the Diaonians!..." Leskuk hurriedly explained.

"The Dionyns have nothing to fear!" Contruk glanced at the timidity of Leskuk's heart~www.readwn.com~ He said with a bit of disdain: "You have been fighting with them in the past." The failures are all in their tricks. We must know that we have never failed in a positive battle. Our past battles with the Greeks have never failed! As the chief of the Sempini, you can be cautious. But you can't lose the courage and fierceness of the sons of Vosani!"

As a veteran of the old qualifications, Contruk continued to teach the martyrs Jacques with his elder status and years of combat experience: "Not to mention, you have used the strategy to transfer the main force of Dionia to the Dawny area. In the north, within two or three days, it is very difficult for them to come here. Even if there are enemy reinforcements coming in these two days, it is the temporary force formed by the Dionyns in the Pucciti and Mesapi areas. The strength will not be too much, the combat power will not be strong, we can just beat them and boost our soldiers...especially the courage and morale of Hilpiny, Kautini, and Pentini fighters!" In the minds of the old squadrons of Samona, the tribal fighters who have been defeated repeatedly are not qualified Samona soldiers. Only the Kalasheni warriors are the best.

Leskuk did not speak.

At this time, the spy rushed to come: "The big leader, the southern side found the reinforcements of Dionia!"
