Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

And this time it was the first time since the establishment of the Dionya fleet that it has stepped out of the sea near Turai and really headed for the Mediterranean. Therefore, not only Sekelian, the sailors of the entire fleet are very excited, even the normal speed of the pulp frequency is faster than usual.

The entire fleet consists of a total of 150 crow warships and 30 50-pound Clippers converted from ordinary cargo ships. The six-way column is arranged to sail southward in the offshore. Since there is only a westward breeze at the start, the Dionysian fleet Did not bring the sails.

There is only one mission for Secorian today: to completely defeat the Syracuse Navy!

Therefore, when driving past the sea in Crimea, Seclerian ordered: the team slowed down and loaded the crow suspension bridge.

And he also ordered: If the enemy's Clippers are close, don't rush to expel, you can allow them to come closer to the observation.

When the winter sun has risen to the middle of the sky, the Dionysian fleet has sailed close to the sea in Crotone, when the foremost three-layered battleship has risen and raised the yellow flag, located in the center of the fleet. After learning this information, the spirit is great: the Syracuse Navy, which suffered a fiasco, is so easily tempted to be so easy. It’s great!

Regardless of whether the enemy has more ships or fewer ships, regardless of whether they will adopt the "circle" or "double column" tactics, the Dion's crow fleet has only one tactic - the stars.

"Rising the black flag and the red flag, blowing the attacking army!" Seklely issued the order without hesitation.

The sailors have started to swallow the prepared rations, because in the next battle, they must do their best. However, compared to the first embarrassment and tension, they are now more excited, not only because the last victory gave them confidence, but also because the new bill issued by King Davers before the expedition was the majority. The sailors who are free people have added more momentum. "Winning the war, we will become the league's reserve citizens!" This became their common wish.

The heavy infantry on the battleship, when they heard the sound of the military number, calmed a lot. They picked up the long shield that covered the top of the head and blocked the sunlight. They stood up from the deck without hesitation, and began to move their hands and feet... ...

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

On the lighthouse at Crotone's port, Dionysius looked at the blue waters of the distance with several men and Phibidas. Countless warships were approaching quickly, and a naval battle was about to kick off. The outcome will affect Dionysius's next plan, so Dionysius is also nervous at the moment with both hands...

The front line of the Dionysian warship did not add speed to the fastest, because after the last naval battle, the Diorian naval generals summed up the experience, the speed of the warship is too fast, but not conducive to the crow suspension bridge Release.

But to the feeling of the captains of the Republic of Ionian, the enemy ships that rushed to the face did not have the same speed, which is why?

They have no extra time to consider, in the splash of the waves, the warships of both sides are close at hand.

"Boom!...Boom!..." A suspension bridge slammed down and nailed firmly to the deck of the Syracuse ship.

"Hades!!" The soldiers of the First Army of Daionia shouted the name of Pluto and rushed over the suspension bridge.

At this moment, the other side of the ship also sounded the "Apollo!!" cry, more than 40 Syracuse heavy infantry from the bottom of the battleship, and suddenly filled the deck of the original few people.

The captains of Dionia were stunned: It is no wonder that the speed of the Syracuse warships has slowed down, and there are also many heavy infantry in their bottom tanks!

It turned out that Leptinis adopted the advice of Dionysius in order to allow the fleet to compete with the other side.

Sekleian quickly got the news from the Clippers. Despite his surprise, he still believed that the ability of the soldiers of the Dionysian army would win in this "land war on the sea"!

For the Legionnaires, except for the initial surprise, they were excited. The last time they slashed the sailors was too easy. There was not much sense of accomplishment for them, and this time it was real. fighting!

"Giving a team to go there, the rest will come with me!" Team leader Melishanda quickly made an order, and then rushed to the front.

Since the deck surface of the three-layer paddle ship was not completely covered by the plank, the middle of it was the gap connecting the bottom compartment, so the soldiers on both sides were divided into two teams and killed on both sides of the deck. The widest part of the warship is only six or seven meters, and the side deck can accommodate up to two or three people in parallel.

The warship swayed with the waves, so that the soldiers could not carry out the push of people. Therefore, the contest between the heavy infantry on the battleship was more of a single kill and the cooperation of two or three people.

Melishanda held a long shield on the left, facing the enemy's stabbing gun. The whole body was attached to the shield and slammed into it. The Syracuse soldiers broke the gun and the body slammed back and was supported by the comrades behind.

Melishanda is like a bone-attached scorpion, quickly close to the body, squatting on the other side's body is not stable, the long shield is a collision, the other side is not stable, protect their own round shield to reveal the gap.

The short-sword lightning of Merishanda’s right hand is generally pierced, only to hear the scream of “ah”, the other side squatting on the right rib and falling to the ground.

"Throw the rifle, use the saber! Use the saber!!..." Melishanda heard the enemy yelling anxiously at each other, thinking: Now I understand, too late!

When the enemies in front of him were not coming up, they used a long shield to protect the front, but turned to stab the enemy in front of it. On such a small deck, the other party could not dodge unless he jumped into the cabin. The enemy subconsciously evades the body to the left, while wielding the saber and cutting to the wrist of Melishanda.

Who knows, the teammates next to Melishanda took the opportunity to hit the long shield and the enemy immediately stood unsteady and leaned back.

Melishanda seized the opportunity, turned his wrist, picked the dagger, and sharpened the blade across the enemy's arm with the saber, leaving a deep scar, blood flowing, and the weakly gripped saber dropped on the deck. on……

On every two warships connected by a crow suspension bridge, the heavy infantry of both sides was fiercely killed.

Overall, the Dionyns have a clear upper hand. Although the Syracuse people are also elite soldiers, they face the first legion of Dionia.

The first legion, known as "unbeaten and undefeated", not only has the largest number of veterans, but also has the strictest requirements in selecting new recruits, and the training is the most bitter, but there are still many young people rushing. At the same time, in the experience of killing at sea, the soldiers of the First Army of Daionia are far richer than the other side. They have not only trained for more than a month, but also carried out actual combat three days ago.

The Syracuse heavy infantry was rushed into battle and had not adapted to this type of fighting. They even carried a stab gun. They knew that the long weapons did not have long training on the bumpy warships, and they could not achieve accurate stabbing. .

More important is the difference in weaponry. Corinthian helmets, bronze shields, and metal armor are too heavy. It is not easy for Siracusa soldiers to balance on the swaying ship. They cannot fully exert their power on land. They cannot be more flexible and better at wearing close-ups. Compared with the soldiers of the Nigerian Army.

But there is another difference between the battle on the warship and the land. That is, even if it is defeated, it cannot escape, or it is captured or jumped into the sea. This forced the Syracuse soldiers to do their best to resist the attack of the soldiers of the Daiyan Army, and in the end they also played blood.

Some Syracuse soldiers used a round shield to slam the other side while attacking, risking injury and taking the opportunity to pull the other side down the sea. Melishanda, who killed several Syracuse soldiers after successive stabbing, was accidentally pulled down by the enemy.

But after the fall, Melishanda did not panic because they had trained in this area. He quickly took off his helmet and turned the inside of the curved long shield. The long shield floated on the sea, because in addition to the central bronze corner, the long shield was mainly made of wood and covered with a thin layer of cowhide.

Melishanda stepped on the water with both feet and held the long shield in one hand. By buoyancy, he easily watched the soldiers of the legions on the ship and waved: "I am fine, you continue to fight! Continue to fight!"

The Syracuse soldiers who fell with him were filled with cold sea water into the tight and tight Corinthian helmet, and immediately gave him a sniff suffocation. He panicked and wanted to take off his helmet, but he panicked him for a while. However, the buckle could not be untied, and the round shield placed on the right arm was sinking because of the copper skin, and the heavy helmet and armor made him unable to float out of the sea. In the sea.

The suspension bridge operator of the Dionian warship handed out the wooden paddle to Melishanda floating on the sea, and Melishanda finally climbed the battleship.

He just took a breath and heard the screaming hand on the main mast shouting: "The enemy ship is coming! The enemy ship is coming!"

Everyone was shocked.

I saw a ship that was not far away and was rushing toward them~www.novelmtl.com~ But now the ship is connected with the enemy ship and cannot move at all.

"Get up the suspension bridge!" the captain anxiously shouted at the army soldiers on the opposite side of the ship.

Melishanda also shouted.

The suspension bridge was taken back, but the enemy ship was less than 20 meters away. The bronze horn of its bow was radiated by the sea and the sunlight.

"Right front!" With the captain's rush, the helmsman quickly turned the rudder.

"Sprint speed!" The captain's voice just fell.

The piper of the bottom compartment has been playing hard and fast.

The top pulper slammed the wooden paddle with two layers of pulper underneath, but it took time for the ship to quickly change from static to forward, but the most lacking time for the ship is time.

The enemy ships on the top of the waves are close at hand. The paddlers on the top floor see through the pulp window, and the collision angle of the enemy ship is sharply magnified in the field of vision. All of them escape from the pulp stand and yell: "Run Run fast! I have to hit it!..."
