Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Hey!..." The military number blew, one red and one black and two long cloths fluttered quickly on the flagpole of the flagship main mast.

The other warships also saw the warning flag in front of them. At this time, the flagship sent off the information of the attack. The originally boring fleet suddenly began to make a fuss. The commander of the captain, the reminder of the hopeful hand, and the sound of the sailors continued to The various ships were uploaded, and the formation of the entire fleet began to change.

The third fleet is no longer the column of the four-way warship, but is rapidly moving forward and extending to the two wings. The interval between the ship and the ship is widened, and the interval between the ship and the ship is narrowed, and the entire fleet is formed. From the original long snake, it became a winged geese. The warships of the Third Fleet, which was established for nearly ten years, were arranged at a speed that was extremely skilled and tacit, and also shortened with the opposite Carthage. The distance of the fleet.

At this time, the flagship of the Carthaginian fleet was the Carthage naval commander Annobas. The appearance of the Dionysian fleet in this area surprised him: Did the Dionias see through our enemies? ? !

"Adult, do we want to avoid it temporarily?" the flagship captain asked carefully.

Annobas looked at the front, made a little indulge, and then decisively said: "Although some are inconsistent with our plan, the Diaonians are still in a disadvantageous situation. As long as we intercept it, the final victory must belong to we!"

"Adult, but Admiral, can they arrive in time..." The captain’s words were concealed.

Annobas understood what he meant. He said: "This naval battle is very important to Carthage! It is also very important to Makoto! Admiralka must understand its importance, he will try his best Going there!"

Speaking of this, Annobas issued a loud command: "The round array, ready to fight!"

After the order was issued, Annobas looked up and looked at the hot sun above his head and got up and went down to the cabin.

In order to save time and create more warships, the shipyards of Carthage and the Allied countries temporarily gave up the construction of the four-story paddle ship and the large flagship, so the flagship that Annobas took was only a three-layer paddle battle. The boat was modified and there was no boat building, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

The circular array is a kind of defensive ship array. The warships are arranged in a circular shape. The warships are closely spaced. Only the bow is outward, and both sides and the rear are in the protection of their own ships. It is like a contraction. In a group, the spiked hedgehog was erected, leaving the attacking enemy ship without a mouth.

Although the existence of a circular array will make the warships in the array slow, the superior defense is exactly what Annobas needs at the moment. After all, he experienced the last time with the Dionysian Sicilian fleet. The battle of the sea, the attack on the Diaonia warships has a lot of trouble, so I want to use the round array to delay the time, waiting for the arrival of the favorable fighter.

However, compared with other ships, the round array is not only difficult to arrange, but also takes a long time. Just as the ships of Carthage received the flagship command, under the command of the captains, when the flagship of Carthage began to gather, the third fleet of the Dionysian had already launched an offensive.

All the ships of the Third Fleet have already lowered the sails, and the crow ships are also equipped with suspension bridges. All the sailors are in the excitement after hearing the command of the attack. They quickly put the rations carried with them into the entrance. In the middle, while chewing, while listening to the command of the sailor and the piper, the paddle is manipulated and the paddle speed is continuously increased.

At this moment, the lookout on the flagship main mast shouted in a panic: "General, the rear warships have warnings! Double yellow flag! There are enemy ships, the number of ships is similar to us!"

Mido Lades was in a tight heart, and some doubts in his heart were suddenly unraveled: Why did the Carthagin merchant ship not run along the coast, but ran to the dangerous far sea? Why do these seemingly full-loaded Carthagin merchant ships maintain a fast ship speed and have superior ship-handling skills? ... This is the plan of the Carthage fleet! They had long been ambushing in the open sea, using merchant ships to lure us there, and when we were at war with each other, another fleet came from behind, and both sides were attacked, and the battle in the open sea was not conducive to the play of the crow ship. The three fleets are likely to suffer a fiasco!

Midolades felt scared and he was glad that the last failure made him vigilant.

"General, what should I do?! Do you want to let the first division of the rear turn around and go to intercept?!" the captain asked nervously.

Facing the crisis, perhaps it was fortunate that I had escaped. Midorad’s mind was particularly clear at the moment. He shook his head and said: "The number of warships added by the enemy is close to twice that of their own ships. It will only weaken our offensive power... Now the enemy in the rear has just been discovered, at least three miles away from us, and the enemy in front is close at hand."

He paused, his eyes became firm, and his tone suddenly became fierce: "There are two red flags raised again! All the ships are not allowed to make any stops, give me all the rush!"

Three red and one black cloth fluttered on the top of the flagship main mast. For other warships that had been warned on the rear warships, they eliminated their embarrassment and hesitation. For the warships that are approaching the enemy front, This is a shot of strength: attack! Attack again! Blood battle in the end!

Inspired by the sailor's long, every sailor has a high degree of warfare and soaring speed, making every ship like the arrow of the string to the Carthage ship.

The crow warship was rushing towards the enemy ship. When the two ships were very close together, the sailors immediately took up the oars. The warship glided forward by inertia under the control of the helmsman, and the deck controls gripped. Rotating the axle of the suspension bridge, when the two ships are about to collide, the operator presses the handle, and the suspension bridge quickly slams down to the other ship's bow. The sound of the "bang" makes the stern of both sides jump upwards at the same time, the sailors in the cabin. They all fell to the west and fell into one.

The fleet infantry in the crow warships managed to control the body, rushed from the cabin to the deck, and quickly rushed past the suspension bridge. There are only a handful of soldiers and archers on the other side of the ship. Facing the heavily armed fleet infantry, the resistance of the Carthage sailors is destined to be a tragedy.

When the screams came from time to time, Annobs suddenly realized that he had made a huge mistake: the round array is indeed the best battleship defensive formation, but that is also aimed at manipulating the conventional three-layer paddle. The enemy of the warship, and he is now facing the Dionya Navy who is good at hooking the ship with the suspension bridge and fighting for the jump. The ships are arranged in a circular array, and the inconvenience of the action is the goal of the other side's willful attack.

Annobs regretted it at the moment and vented resentment to the captain: "Why don't you remind me just now?!"

The captain is speechless, because he and Annobas have long been influenced by traditional naval tactics. In the case of a sudden encounter with the enemy, the instinctive will choose the most appropriate tactic to deal with, that is to say he I just thought that the strategy adopted by Annobas was correct, so I did not express my opposition, but I forgot that what they encountered was an enemy who did not follow the conventional naval tactics. Mainly because of Annobas they only played with the Dionysian navy once, and their fleet tactics were not too deep.

"Fast! Fast! Quickly blew the retreating army! Let the warships escape each other!" Annobas shouted with anger.

The captain said: "Adult, are we not going to hold on for a while?! Admiral, they may have arrived soon!"

"When Ademica arrives, our fleet is probably over!" Annobas screamed with anger and forgotten what he had just said, because he was here in front of the Dionysian fleet. I still don't know that Admiral is leading the fleet to rush.

Unlike the Dionysian Navy, the Carthage Navy developed a complex semaphore system after Dave's mention, and was able to communicate the commands in a timely and clear manner, but the Carthage Navy, which has been on the sea for hundreds of years, also has its own A set of methods for conveying commands at sea.

On the flagship deck, 10 squadrons blew the retreat at the same time, and the rushing sound rushed out in all directions.

Although the circular array of the Carthage fleet was not completely completed ~www.readwn.com~ but the warships are moving closer to the flagship, just to hear the sound clearly. However, it is impossible to immediately execute this order and let the entire fleet withdraw immediately. Because this is a round array, the outer warships must first retreat to make room for the internal warships to retreat.

However, the rapid suspension of the 3rd Fleet of the Dionysian team was in full contact with the half-periphery of the Carthage circular array in a short time.

Under the rapid attack of the Dionian warship, it is not easy to make a smooth retreat. Now the front-ranking warships see the friendly ships in front of them being hooked by the suspension bridges of the enemy ships, and then wearing them. The soldiers of the Onya Fleet slammed into the deck like a wolf, and then they screamed. The crew of Carthage were all scared and frightened. They were afraid of their footsteps. The sound of the retreat made them relieved and turned around and retraced. The interior of the narrow circular array has become more narrow, affecting the speed of the ship's retreat.

At this moment, Annobas, who was regretting, suddenly stopped complaining and said uncertainly to the flagship captain: "I seem to hear our attacking sound!"

The captain stunned and immediately listened.

At this moment, the gaze on the mast shouted: "There is a fleet behind the Deonian fleet! It is our fleet! Admiral Admiral arrived!"

Before Arnobas swept away, Ademica, who had disliked his contempt, became his most popular object at the moment. He shouted excitedly: "Ademica did a good job! Fast! Command the ships Stop retreating! Attack the enemy immediately!"
