Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Daphes was relieved.When making the crazy plan of "taking bait" in advance, Seckrian and he made detailed arrangements for it, and arranged more warships around the ship where Daves was located to protect Davies's Safe, and at the same time make a final contest with the enemy.

"A warship rushed in front of the left!"

"There is a warship on the starboard side!"

"There are enemy ships to the right of the stern!"

...

The screams of the three watchmen continued, and the Syracuse carried out a mad attack on the ship of Davos, making the nerves of the whole crew tense.

"Suspension bridge retracted! Suspension bridge retracted!" At this moment, the sailor on the deck 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 composed of two warships, and the two were joined together. Only the rear had a large space.

The sailors immediately backed backwards, and the speed of the ship had just risen, and heard the watchman at the end of the bed screaming: "An enemy ship hits behind! An enemy ship hits behind!"

This Siracusa battleship is quite cunning. With its superb ship handling skills, it blocks sight from the surrounding warships. It is like a fish swimming flexibly through the space between the ships, quickly approaching the ship, and was discovered by the watchman. At a time, the distance is only more than 40 meters.

The ship was backtracking again, so the distance was rapidly getting closer, and Miltias shouted loudly: "Turn right back! Turn right back!..." He wanted the warship to turn around and let the "crow "Drawbridge" comes into play, but it seems that time is running out.

"Swipe forward! Swipe forward!..." he shouted again.

Although the paddlers did not understand the situation outside, they also felt uncomfortable listening to the captain’s frequently changing commands and nervous voices. For a time, they were a little flustered, and some people even fell into the sea with wood pulp.

Seeing the bronze angle of the enemy ship rushing through the waves, even the appearance of the enemy on the bow can be seen clearly. At this moment, Davos' heart was mentioned in the throat, but Maltius took the soldiers Catch up, urgently remove the armor for Davos, if a ship is hit and sink, they will lead Davos into the sea until rescued.

At the moment of the electric light and stone fire, in the narrow gap between the warship and the warship (the three-layer paddle warship could not pass at all), a warship emerged from the oblique thorn, blocking the enemy ship and the ship. In between, it was Dionyssia's 50-blade warship.In the usual naval battles, the role of the fifty-mortar warship is mostly used for reconnaissance, communication, rescue, assistance in ship jumping operations, etc. It is generally used as a fast ship.However, when the new naval tactics were implemented in the fleet of Dionia, in view of the weaknesses in the flexibility and speed of the three-tier paddle warship equipped with the "Crow Suspension Bridge", Sekerian gave fifty A new tactical role of the battleship is to use the small flexible and fast features of the battleship 50 (up to 15 to 16 knots) to block the attacking route of the enemy ship, so that the main battleship can escape

In order to ensure the safety of Daphes, naturally there are several such warships swimming around the ship.At this moment, the enemy ship had no time to turn. The bronze collision angle directly hit the fifty pulp warship, and only heard a loud bang, followed by the sound of wood breaking, the screams and screams of the sailors, and the whole body was cut open. A big hole, the sea water immediately poured in, diluting the wounded blood...

The fifty-slurry warship sinks quickly under the crushing of the three-layer oar enemy ship...

However, the forward thrust of the three-story paddle enemy ship has been significantly weakened, and eventually stopped.

Just when his captain yelled "Going backwards" in a panic, the ship where Davers was on had turned around, quickly approached, and the "Crow Suspension Bridge" fell.

Daveus shouted angrily: "Revenge for the brothers!"

Lead the guards to commit suicide on the enemy ship deck...

………………………………

The Syracuse originally hoped to use their superb sailing skills and rich experience in naval warfare to fight with the strange warship of Dionia, but they suddenly found that although the Dionysia warship was less flexible However, the device was extremely flexible. When it was turned in all directions, it fell in various ways, so that the warships close to them could not escape the hooked ending and were eventually captured.

The Syracuses were completely chilled.

Due to Leptinis’s arrogance, the assault on Daves’ ship became the last madness. More than 30 Syracuse warships were captured around the ship of Daves, Syracuse The fleet is finally unable to support...

Let Leptinis shouted silently: "Rush up! Let me rush up! Let me die here! Let me go, let me drown! Ah..."

How dare his captain make him unpredictable.When he charged before, he secretly let the paddlers slow down the paddle and free the flagship from the assault circle.This fiasco in the naval battle must ensure that the naval commander returns safely to the Sileting, otherwise the anger of the plenipotentiary cannot be tolerated.

The few warships left by the Syracuse turned around and fled south, and the Dionysian fleet did not catch up, because they could not catch up with the enemy ships at their speed.The most important thing is that they also have to rescue the soldiers who fell into the water and hurry up to deal with the aftermath.

"Your Majesty, the Syracuse navy is withdrawing-we are retreating! We-we are victorious!!" In the cheers of the paddler and the guards, Miltias rushed to him and reported to him with a very excited expression .

Daveus stared at the enemies that had disappeared on the skyline, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and with a slightly trembling voice, he replied: "Victory...just started!"

………………………………

This large-scale Taranto sea battle that lasted for more than two hours finally ended.

The Syracuse Navy lost 223 warships, most of which were three-tier paddle warships.The Dionysian Fleet lost more than 40 warships, half of which were fifty warships.The Dionysian fleet at an absolute disadvantage beat the Siracusa navy beyond the expectations of many outsiders.

A picture very different from other naval battles appeared during the war.The Siracusa Navy has lost so many warships, but there are very few pictures of the ship being sunk, a large number of sailors floating on the sea, and calling tragicly.Because there are a total of 157 three-layer paddle warships, completely captured by the Dionysians, with only a few repairs, coupled with their own sailors, you can go to sea to fight, the strength of the Dionysian fleet will suddenly turn More than twice.

This really became a grotesque thing in the history of Greek naval warfare. In naval warfare, warships have been fought less and less, and I have never heard of the fact that more and more fought.

While the sailors and soldiers of the Dionysian fleet cheered for victory, the shore was boiling.

The Castellon cheered.After witnessing a thrilling naval battle, they knew that their homes would never be ravaged by the evil Syracuse.

This is really a miracle!After seeing the retreat of the Syracuse warships, Amiclis was surprised that he hadn't been in recovery for a long time. Although he had a slight fluke in advance, it was a fluke after all, but the Dionysian was really Turn it into a fact!In this regard, it was only a long time before Amilis reached a conclusion: "The oracle of Hades is really fulfilled! After Daveus was elected as king, Dionysia was really greatly blessed by Pluto! "

His words were accepted by the high-ranking Castron, and a member of the council asked busyly: "Then... Do you still see the messenger of Syracuse?"

"Don't see it!" Amiclis said firmly, "Kill him immediately!"

"Is this... will it be too intense?" someone said worriedly: "In case the dictator of Syracuse is irritated..."

"Aren't you afraid to irritate our neighbor Dionysia!" Amiclis reminded them: "We are so close to Turiri, and the envoy of Syracuse will be known to the Dionysians sooner or later. What will Dafers think in his heart at that time, what will Dionia's senate! Dionia with the oracle of Hades has won such a huge number of naval battle victories, they will inevitably win in the end, just Like the famous'wooden wall' oracle-protected Athens of Delphi decades ago that defeated Persia. We can only make up for our mistakes in such a fierce way, showing that we are firmly with Dioria. The determination together!"

…………………………

The Dionyan people cheered for the victory earlier.

When every captured three-layered warship was forced to sail to the sea and then northward along the coastline into the mouth of the Krati River, everyone on the shore watching the naval battle cheered and went to the army on the deck The soldier waved desperately.And this cheering continued because the captured Siracusa warships also continued to sail to the beach.

The other Syracuse warships did not take advantage of their slow travel to sink these captive warships. On the one hand, the Dionysian fleet’s offensive was so fierce that they could not spare time, but also because Syracuse The Zarren knew that they were the sailors of Siracusa who drove these captured warships. No one was willing to make such a crazy decision to send long-term, co-trained comrades to the grave of death, and once done so After returning to the mother state, they will also face the accountability of the city-state people.Not to mention that their benevolent naval commander, Leptinis, would not give such a cruel command.

Therefore, when one after another captured Siracusa warship sailed in front of the Dionysian people, everyone knew that victory was not far away.But it may be afraid to scare away this hard-won victory, and no one dared to let it go completely to celebrate. Until the Syracuse fleet retreated, the joy in the hearts of the Dionysian people fully broke out.
