Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Vol 6 Chapter 135: Taranto Sea Battle (7)

Davers is relieved. In the crazy plan of "taking the bait" in advance, Sekleian and he made detailed arrangements for it, and arranged more warships around the Dave's ship to protect Davis. Safety, while making the final contest with the enemy.

"There is a battleship in front of the left!"

"There is a battleship on the starboard side!"

"There is an enemy ship on the right side of the stern!"

......

The exclamations of the three gazebos continued, and the Syracuses made a mad attack on the Dave's ship, so that the nerves of the entire ship were always tight.

"The suspension bridge is retracted! The suspension bridge is retracted!" At this time, the deck sailors at the bow of the ship shouted loudly.

Miltias breathed a sigh of relief, and he shouted: "Go back!"

At this time, the sea around the ship was two ships with two ships together, and there was only a large space at the rear.

The sailors immediately reversed backwards, and the speed of the ship just got up. He heard the eagle at the end of the bed screaming: "There is an enemy ship hitting in the rear! There is an enemy ship hitting behind!"

This Syracuse warship is quite awkward. With superb ship-fighting technology, it blocks the line of sight by the surrounding warships. It travels like a fish in the gap between the ships and quickly approaches the ship. When, the distance is only 40 meters.

The ship was backing down again, so the distance was rapidly approaching, and Miltias shouted: "Turn to the right rear! Turn to the right rear!..." He wants the ship to turn over and let the crow The suspension bridge works, but it seems that time is too late.

"Draw ahead! Plan ahead!..." He shouted again.

Although the paddlers did not understand the situation outside, they were pre-existing in the commands and nervous voices that the captain changed frequently. For a time, they were somewhat confused. Some people even fell into the sea with wood pulp.

Seeing the bronze collision angle of the enemy ship, the rushing of the waves, even the appearance of the enemy of the ship can be seen clearly. At this moment, a heart of Daves is mentioned on the throat, but Maltius carries the soldier. Catch up, urgently remove the armor for Davers, and 10,000 ships are sunk, they will take Daves to the sea until they are rescued.

Just in the moment of this electric stone fire, in the narrow gap between the warship and the warship (the three-layered paddle ship could not pass), a warship was pulled out in the oblique spur, and it was blocked by the enemy ship and the ship. Between, that is the 50-pound battleship of Dionia. In the usual naval battles, the role of the 50-pound warships is mostly used for reconnaissance, missions, rescues, assistance in jetty operations, etc., and is generally used by the Clippers. But in the fleet of Dionia, when the new naval tactics began, Seckley gave fifty because of the flexibility and relatively low speed of the three-layered paddles after the "crow suspension bridge". A new tactical role of the pulp warship is to use the small and flexible features of the 50-pitch warship ship (up to 15 to 16 knots) to block the enemy ship's offensive route, so that the main battleship can escape.

In order to ensure the safety of Dafos, naturally there are several such warships around the ship. At this moment, the enemy ship had no time to turn. The bronze horn hit the 50-pound battleship directly, only to hear a loud bang, then the sound of the wood broke, the screams of the sailors and the screams, and the whole body was cut. A big hole, the sea water immediately came in, diluting the blood of the wounded...

The 50-pile warship quickly sank under the crushing of the three-layered propeller ship...

However, the forward momentum of the three-layered propeller ship has been significantly weakened and eventually stagnated.

Just as his captain screamed "Fast backward", the ship where Deverus was located had already turned his head and approached quickly, and the "Crow Suspension Bridge" fell.

Daves yelled angrily: "Revenge for the brothers!"

Leading the guards and killing the enemy ship deck...

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

The Syracuse people originally hoped to use their superb sailing skills and rich naval experience to deal with the eccentric warships of Dionya, but they found out that the Diaonia warships are less flexible. But the device was extremely flexible. When it turned in all directions and in various ways, so that the warships close to them could not escape the end of being hooked and eventually captured.

The Syracuse was completely chilly.

As a result of the desperation of Leptinies, the assault on the ship of Daves became the last madness, and more than 30 Syracuse warships were captured around the Davesian ship, Syracuda The fleet finally could not support it...

Let Leptinies scream and shout: "Chong up! Let me rush! Let me die here! Let me go, let me drown! Ah..."

How could his captain dare to let him have any accidents. When he was in charge, he secretly let the paddlers slow down the pulp speed and let the flagship be out of the assault ring. This time the fierce battle of the sea war must ensure that the naval commander returns to the West Chamber safely, otherwise the wrath of the omnipotent general is not something they can afford.

The remaining warships of the Syracuse people rushed south to escape, and the Dionysian fleet did not catch up, because the speed of their ships could not catch up with the enemy ships that escaped. Most importantly, they also need to rescue the fallen soldiers and take the time to deal with the aftermath.

"Your Majesty, Syracuse naval withdrawal - retreat! We - we are victorious!!" In the cheers of the pulper and the guards, Miltias rushed to him, and his expression was very excited to report to him. .

Davers looked at the enemies who had disappeared in the skyline, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and the trembling voice returned: "Victory... just started!"

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

This battle of Taranto, which was grand and the war was going on for more than two hours, finally came to an end.

The Syracuse Navy lost 223 warships, the vast majority of which were three-layered warships. The Dionysian fleet lost more than 40 warships, and half of them were 50-pile warships. The Denia fleet, which is in an absolute disadvantage, unexpectedly surpassed the expectations of many outsiders and defeated the Syracuse Navy.

In the war there was a picture that was very different from other naval battles. The Syracuse Navy has lost so many warships, but there have been few images of warships being sunk, large numbers of sailors floating in the sea, and tragic calls. Because there are a total of 157 three-layer paddle warships, the complete captives of the Diaonians, only need to be slightly repaired, coupled with their own sailors, they can go to sea, the strength of the Denia fleet will suddenly turn over More than twice.

This has become a strange thing in the history of the Greek naval battle. The wars have always been less and less, and I have never heard of more and more.

The sailors and soldiers of the Venetian fleet cheered and the shore boiled.

The Castellon is cheering. After witnessing a thrilling naval battle, they knew that their homeland would no longer be shackled by the evil Syracuse.

This is a miracle! After seeing the retreat of the Syracuse warship, Ami Klis was surprised that he had not returned to God for a long time. Although he had a trace of luck beforehand, it was a fluke, but the Dionians actually Turn it into a fact! In this regard, Amigris came to a conclusion for a long time: "The **** of Hades is really fulfilled! After Daves was elected as the king, Dionia was really blessed by Pluto! ”

His words actually got the approval of the high-ranking Castrons. A member of the council asked: "So, do you...the messenger of Syracuse, do we still see?"

"Don't see!" Amiglis said resolutely: "I will kill him immediately!"

“Is this... too intense?” Someone worried: “If you angered the dictator of Syracuse...”

"Don't you be afraid to irritate our neighbor, Dionia!" Amilys reminded them: "We are so close to Turui, and the Syracuse messenger will soon be known to the Daonians. When Daveus thinks in the heart, what will the Dionia Senate think? Deonia, who is blessed by Hades, has won a disparity in the number of naval battles, and they will eventually win. Like the famous 'wooden wall' of Athens, which was blessed by Delphi last decades, Athens finally defeated Persia. We can only make up for our mistakes in such a fierce way, indicating that we are firmly with Dioria. The determination together!"

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

The people of Dionia are cheering for victory earlier~www.novelmtl.com~When each captured three-layer battleship is forced to sail to the beach and then head north along the coastline into the Craty Estuary Everyone who watched the naval battle on the shore cheered and waved to the army soldiers on the deck. This kind of cheering continued, because the captured Syracuse warship continued to sail to the beach.

The other Syracuse warships did not take advantage of their slow movements to sink these captive warships. On the one hand, the attack of the Dionia fleet was so fierce that they could not find time, and because of Syracuse. Zha people know that they are the sailors of their Syracuse who drive these captured warships. No one is willing to make such a crazy decision to send long-term, co-training comrades to the grave of death, and once they have done so After returning to the mother state, they will also face the accountability of the city-state people. What's more, their benevolent naval commander Leptinis will not make such a cruel command.

Therefore, when one and the other captured Syracuse warships passed by the Daonian people, everyone understood that the victory was not far away. But it may be fearing that this hard-won victory will be scared away. Everyone would not dare to let go completely to celebrate, until the Syracuse fleet retreats, and the joy of the hearts of the people of Dionia is completely erupted.
