Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

After being stabbed by dozens of sailors, the Carthaginians of this battleship chose to surrender.

But this time, Sekleian was determined to fight with the Carthage Fleet. Therefore, before the war, he ordered that the warships should not spend energy and disperse their forces to capture the enemy ships in the battle. They must ensure that sufficient personnel continue to fight. Until the end of the battle.

Therefore, the fleet infantry officers cut the captives of the captive Carthage sailors one by one, making them unable to paddle and then evacuating the enemy ships.

At the same time, many Dionysian warships also adopted interception tactics, but only a small number of Carthage warships were captured by the crow suspension bridge, and most of the Carthage warships were avoided in time. The experience and ability of the base navy. They swiftly circumvented the front of the Dionian warship and turned to attack the tail.

The Dionysian warship also responded to this, and it also followed the other side of the circle, always letting its head can face the enemy ship.

Then there was a very strange battle scene: the warships of both sides were circled with patience, the Carthage was in the outer circle, and the Dionian warship was in the inner circle. It is reasonable to say that the Diaonia sailors consume less and save more effort, but they can't show the gap in a short time.

Of course, the Dionya warship is located in the center, and there is little room for maneuver. Once an enemy ship joins the battle group, it is difficult to escape the fate of being hit. However, in this naval battle, the Diaonia warships are more than the other side, not only intercepting the enemies who have fought, but also increasing the intensity of the offensive. Because Sekleian was not prepared to fight a long battle with Carthage, although he did not know much about the situation in this area, this bad weather made him want to make a quick decision.

Thus, Dionya's second wave of offensive came: a fast three-layer paddle battleship rushed into the battle zone like a sharp arrow.

Ilias, the captain of a fast three-layer paddle battleship. He used to be a civilian in Corinthian Port, a family of three generations who depended on fishing and buying fish for a living. Life was barely able to survive, but in the Corinth War more than a decade ago, King Sparta Agassius led the troops. A number of ports and towns that raided the Corinthian Gulf, like other fishermen, the biggest property of his family, two fishing boats, were robbed by the Spartan Allies. After the end of the war, the impoverished Ilias heard that the Kingdom of Dionia, across the Adriatic Sea, called on the Greeks to go to colonization and to the land...

The Ilyas, who have been desperate and sold as slaves, like many fishermen in Corinth, ventured into the Diaonian ship that stayed at the port of Leicaon and picked up the displaced... The result was wonderful. Ilias also joined the Dionysian Navy, who became a captain of the First Fleet because of his superb boating skills.

Because of the weather, the Dionysian fleet also widened the gap between the warships, thus giving the fast three-tiered prize ship more room to play.

Elias had long been eyeing an enemy ship in front of his own crow warship. He commanded the ship to rush up quickly in an attempt to sneak into the other's tail.

Who knows that the other party has been aware of it, avoiding it in time, and then flexibly avoiding the approach of the crow ship. Obviously, the enemy ship considers that it is unfavorable to one enemy and two, and starts to speed up and then withdraw, in order to open and speed. The distance of the slow crow warship, first solve this three-tiered prize ship without a suspension bridge.

The captain of the Carthaginian warship clearly believes that as long as it is not a crow warship, the Carthaginians are steadily winning in a normal battleship.

At this time, the warship of Ilias has already turned its head and started to catch up.

Both sides began to speed up the pulp speed and chase, and soon the crow warship was left behind.

Looking at the enemy ship that followed, Captain Carthage shouted: "Turn right and turn around!"

The voice immediately fell and the sailors responded immediately.

Captain Carthage’s plan is that his sudden turn will cause the fast-moving enemy ship to be pushed forward by the speed of inertia, thus leading to offensive and defensive.

But at this time, he suddenly widened his eyes: because the speed of the enemy ship speeded up, almost like floating from the sea, and rushed to himself.

His career as a sailor for decades, he told him that the speed of the three-layered paddle ship will not exceed 13 knots. He used this to develop tactics, but the ship behind it obviously exceeded this speed (instantaneous The speed actually reached 15 knots. The Carthage warship had to slow down because of the need to turn, so he was shocked to see the black brilliance of the enemy ship hitting the tail of his ship.

The loud noise of the "砰", the huge impact force caused the tens of meters long Carthage warship to turn halfway in the original place, almost overturned.

The captain fell heavily on the deck. He ignored the pain and hugged the mast next to him.

The sailors in the cabin were screaming and screaming, and there was a scream of screaming, which was the rudder's helmsman who couldn't escape. The broken ship's board smashed the chest and splashed blood.

The stern of the warship's upturn was directly broken and the seawater poured in from the crack.

At that time, the Carthage sailors had their minds paddling. When they had experience, they immediately broke the oars, took the pulp, rushed onto the deck, and jumped into the sea.

After the fast three-layer paddle ship hit the enemy ship, it circled a half circle and confirmed the result. Elias announced loudly: "Brothers, sinking a ship!"

The cabin immediately cheered.

"Captain, there is a big one in front!" At this moment, the gaze on the mast shouted.

big? ! Ilias was a glimpse first, and immediately understood: the warship bigger than the three-layer paddle ship can only be the rumored four-layer paddle!

Although he has not seen it, the Department of Military Affairs of the Republic of Deonia has always regarded Carthage as the most powerful enemy, and spared no effort in the collection and research of its military intelligence. How can he not know the new achievements of the Carthage Navy in these years? Special analysis has been carried out on the advantages and disadvantages of this larger and higher warship than the three-layered paddles. It is also specially designed for the warship captains to learn and understand during the training.

So Ilias’s mind immediately had an idea: “Walk it around, find other targets, and the clumsy four-layer paddle ship can’t catch up with us!”

However, the gaze on the mast continued to shout: "This four-story paddle ship is turning and heading towards a crow ship in front of us, it is connected with the enemy ship!"

Ilias is in a tight heart: It is said that Carthage’s four-layer paddle warship is equipped with 50 to 60 infantry, which can be used for hopping, while the front crow warship is fighting the enemy ship, if it encounters its pinch The situation will be very dangerous.

"Right front, advance at full speed, catch up with the big ship!" He decisively issued an order.

The sailors, who were still in the midst of victory and excitement, immediately struggled to push the oars. The warships padd a curved water mark on the sea and accelerated forward.

In a short while, Ilias saw the full picture of the Carthage four-layer paddle warship: its large hull was two meters higher than its own ship, and the two sides of the ship bulged a layer of paddles on the sides. It is the skirt of the warship, and it can faintly see the intensive paddlers inside...

Ilias carefully counted, there are indeed four layers of paddles.

The Carthage four-story paddling ship apparently also saw the proximity of this Dionya warship, but it did not evade and sneaked forward to the front of the crow warship.

"The speed of the charge! Plunge its paddle!" Ilias calmly issued the order, the reason why the command of the impact was not issued, because he remembered that the squadron of the ship was more sturdy and said to be able to withstand Live a few hits.

Therefore, Ilias was afraid of hitting it, but instead of being close to the enemy ship, he was attacked by the other side.

The speed of the ship was quickly raised to 13 knots, and it was still climbing upwards, and soon caught up with the enemy ships.

The helmsman nervously controlled the rudder, ensuring that the ship was facing the right side of the hull of the opponent, with no offset.

"Accept the paddle!" Elias ordered, the paddlers skillfully took the oars into the hull, and the warship sprinted in accordance with the inertia, ready to pass the enemy ship.

Who knows, the Carthage sailors also recovered the paddles in a timely and skilled manner, although they have more pulp. And the archers on the deck also arched the ships of Ilias and dropped a dozen rope hooks.

In order to improve the speed of the fast three-layer paddle warship, there was no construction of the boat on both sides of the deck. Except for the mast, the deck was bare and there was no place for the hook to be hooked.

Instead, the arrow that was shot down hit the top of the mast and fell straight on the deck. There were also a few arrows that crossed the gap in the center of the deck and fell into the cabin, making a few screams.

The Dionysian sailors were slightly confused.

Fortunately, the fast three-layer paddle warship is very fast, and has not waited for the enemy to shoot the second round of arrows~www.readwn.com~ It has already passed the enemy ship and rushed to the front.

Elias, who drilled out of the cabin, immediately ordered the warship to turn backwards and put forward the posture to continue the attack.

However, the Carthage four-layer paddle warship ignored its provocation and still maintained its course, continuing to approach the front of the crow warship.

The infantry of the crow warship has already rushed out of the bottom tank of the enemy ship and began to accelerate back to the warship. But this four-layered paddling enemy ship is only over ten meters away from them, so there is no time to escape.

At this time, another spectator of the Ilias warship who had just climbed the main mast shouted with excitement: "The captain, another fast warship! The other fast-moving ship crashed into the battle--"

His voice did not fall, and Ilias heard a "beep" sound. The huge hull of the four-layered paddle ship in front of the side seemed to have sneezed like a sneeze. The speed of the movement suddenly stopped, on board. The sailor’s exclamation is endless.

Although the hull of the front four-story paddles blocked the line of sight and could not see the other side of the enemy ship, but by looking at the hand, Ilias knew that his comrades were driving the ship and bravely hit the enemy.
