Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Section 13!!

With all the oarsmen struggling to paddle, the warship rushed straight towards the enemy ship at the terror speed of 13 knots (24 kilometers per hour) under the control of the helmsman.

Forced the Siracusa warship to abandon the intention to attack the Midolades ship, and turned to face the oncoming Dionysian ship.

"Crash that one first! Come and kill you!" Captain Syracuse looked at the battleship where Midolades was thrown behind him, thinking confidently.

"Collecting the pulp!" he shouted, satisfied to see the paddlers pumping back the wood pulp very quickly, the warship was about to cross the Dionysian warship with its powerful inertial speed.

At this moment, the 12-meter-long strange device on the bow of the Dionysian warship "boomed" down, the spikes on the top pierced the deck, and the wood chips splashed.

In the exclamation of the Syracuse sailors, dozens of Dionyan soldiers in black helmets and black armor rushed to the deck through the "crow suspension bridge", and another killing began...

…………………………………

The Siracusa navy, who did not put the Dionyan fleet in their eyes, charged forward quickly, and the Diorian fleet bravely showed no signs of weakness. On the front line of several nautical miles, the fierce battles between the two sides were furious. together.

But most of the cases were smashed with the "crow suspension bridge", hooked the Siracusa warship, and then changed the naval battle into a land battle, making the Siracusa people's excellent ship-handling skills completely useless. Instead, Dionysia’s legionary detachments, like tigers and flocks, easily captured the opponent’s warship.

Just half an hour after the beginning of the naval battle, the Siracusa navy was captured by nearly 40 three-tier paddle warships.

The wide sea surface prevented every Captain of Syracuse in the battlefield from seeing the loss of the whole army, but they also felt the same: once the enemy ship in front was hooked by the strange device of the Dionysian ship Afterwards, many soldiers of the enemy emerged from the cabin and rushed to the deck of their own warship through that device. They soon saw their warship withdraw from the battlefield, and the Dionysian warship began to move forward. Rush...

The captains in the rear of the Siracusa ship array have realized that they cannot hedge with the Dionysian warship head-on, but should avoid the device at the head of the other party by virtue of their excellent ship-handling skills and better maneuverability. , And instead attacked the rear side of the enemy ship...

……………………………………

This large-scale naval battle fought fiercely in the coastal waters between Turui and Castellon, which not only worried the Dionyan people, but also attracted the attention of the Castellonians.

General Castellon and members of the council headed by Amicellis also gathered with the people on the coast, watching the battle of the sea, because it is not only related to the rise and fall of the Dionysian Union, but also An important decision related to Castron.

The envoy of Syracuse came to Castellon yesterday. The general executive committee and the council led by Amiclis did not meet him, but did not drive him away. Instead, he boarded the ship and went to the hotel. "Resting" has explained a change in Castellon's senior mentality.

Despite the close relationship between Castellon and Dionysia in recent years, both sides regard the other as the closest ally. The Castrons are even proud of being able to participate in various celebrations in Turriy, just like a family general.But after all, alliances are only alliances, not alliances.The southern alliance of the Allied Forces in South Italy suffered a fiasco on the southern front, and there were wars and political instability in Dionysia. The Castrons in Dionysia’s hinterland could directly feel the people of Turri from the initial pride to the present Panic, and Syracuse’s large number of naval and land forces and the horrors of the killing of the Silitians are shaking the trust of the Castrons to the Dionysian Union.

Syracuse is not Crotone after all.When the second Crotone war broke out, Crotone, who had been defeated once, did not lose Castello's confidence in Dionia, even if the army was persecuted, but this time the more powerful Syracuse The army was led by the tyrannical tyrant Dionysius who defeated the powerful Carthage. His soldiers had made the Castrons tremble.Looking at the destroyed farmland, burned villages, and slain people outside Castellon, the Castrons were angry and helpless.

When it was learned that Daveus led the army back to Turri, and had already led the Dionysian fleet to battle the mighty Siracusa navy, all Castrons were excited to come to the seaside, out of contempt for Daveus. Respect, and anger at Syracuse, praying that Dionia will win.

But for the top leaders of the city-states such as Amiclis, although they also pin their hopes on the invincible Dionyan consul, the Syracuse navy is too powerful...

"In case... no! As long as Dionia can't win in this naval battle, this bay is completely Syracuse, and by then... we can only find a way out for ourselves... ""Amikelis looked at the many warships that were moving fast on the sea in the distance, thinking in pain...

………………………………………

On the flagship of Syracuse at the rear of the fleet, Leptinis thought he had heard it wrong, and the watchman on the main mast told him: his warships frequently withdrew from the battlefield. Those Dionysian wars Not only was the ship rarely sunk, but it continued to advance forward.

"General, listening to the Clippers’ return, the Dionysians installed a wooden bridge in front of the battleship, and equipped a lot of heavy infantry in the cabin. Once the wooden bridge was built, those heavy infantry rushed over, we The sailors on board couldn’t resist. Now Kliandas are no longer facing the Dionysian ship, but using our excellent ship-handling skills and rich experience in naval warfare, they have to deal with the Dionysians. Because of the installation of wooden bridges and the loading of too many soldiers, the Dionysian warship is far less speedy and flexible than ours. I believe the battle situation will soon change!" The flagship captain comforted him.

Leptinis' mood was only slightly better, and he scolded angrily: "Damn Dionysians will only play with some cleverness, what do they think of the sacred naval battle! Poseidon will definitely punish them! ..."

He was venting his anger, and the watchman above his head suddenly shouted, "General, the warship with a statue on top of the mast rushed out! It rushed over! It rushed to the forefront of the enemy ship formation! I can see There is a general wearing dazzling armor at the bow!"

Leptinis was stunned, and then he was uplifted. He cried out: "That's Dionys, the Archon of Dionys! He's really on board! Quick! Order the column warship to press up! Sink him !Must sink it! As long as you can kill or capture the Daphes, even if you lose a lot of warships, we will win Syracuse!"

Since Syracuse adopted a double column tactic, a column of ten ships.The bugle sounded, the flagship took the lead in charge, and more than 20 warships followed closely, and soon they surpassed the flagship.

……………………………………

Dionysia's starry tactics are like ocean waves blown by the breeze. A wave of fine waves has just disappeared, and another wave has risen again, layer by layer, all the way forward.

Daveus's ship has been constantly rushing through its own warships entangled with enemy ships, and finally reached the forefront of the front.

"Speed ​​of charge!" Mirtias witnessed the enemy ship rushing ahead and gave orders without hesitation.

The warship suddenly speeded up, and the arrow generally galloped forward.

The two ships are 100 meters apart!90 meters!80 meters!………

Davis swallowed subconsciously and pulled out the dagger from his waist.

However, the enemy ship suddenly turned to the right.

"Left! Left!" Miltias hurriedly ordered.

However, the speed was too fast before this turn. The turn was too large and the deflection had not been completed. The enemy ship had dexterously drawn an arc and hit the center of the ship.

Miltias didn't panic at this time, just ordered: "Continue to turn left!"

The enemy ship captain watched the bronze collision angle, and was getting closer and closer to this larger three-layer plasma warship, with a smug smile on his face...

But soon, his smile froze.

The bulky hull of the Dionysian ship was only slightly to the left and then to the left, and the long wooden device of the bow actually rotated more than a hundred degrees and fell directly backwards.More than ten meters long suspension bridge was smashing on the bow deck of his bow, a "boom" sounded, the two ships were connected together.Although the forward force of his warship pushed the opponent's warship to sway back and the suspension bridge creaked, it did not hurt the enemy ship's identity. Instead, the enemy's soldiers stormed the suspension bridge aggressively.

Finished!Seeing that the situation was bad, he could not care about the warships and sailors. He turned his heart across and jumped straight into the sea.

"Your Majesty, please stay and let me take my brothers to rush to kill!" Maltius pulled Daveus who was going to cross the bridge and asked firmly.

Daveus did not insist, he knew that staying here in his current capacity would make everyone feel at ease.

"That's yours," he nodded.

"Brothers, rush with me!" Maltius withdrew his dagger and led the guard, rushing across the bridge first, and he was about to lose his life for him, and asked the Syracuse to ask for the price.

"An enemy ship rushes towards us in front of the right!" Wang Wang screamed on the mast.

Miltiyas and Daveus immediately felt nervous, and at this moment the ship was connected with the enemy ship and could not escape.

But the Sectrian's flagship behind the ship quickly greeted it and quickly locked it with a "crow".

"There is an enemy ship behind the right side!" The watchman at the stern began to scream, but after a while, his cry stopped because another ship rushed up and connected it together.
