Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Don't panic, Lord Sectrian is here!"

"With Lord Sectrian, we are not afraid of any enemies!"...

At the same time, there was also a loud noise on the deck. These legionary soldiers from the towns of Dionysian Sicily knew the name of Seclion, but they were far less than the Dionysian crew had treated him. Respect.

A man wearing leather armor and leather helmet quickly walked out on the deck. He approached the side of the ship and solemnly performed a military salute: "Adult, I am the captain of this warship, Ilias of the first fleet!"

As soon as he heard that he was his old man, Sekelian was relieved for the most part, he immediately said: "I know you, Elias, every time the fleet’s battleship training is evaluated, the results of the fast 3 layer paddle warship you command are always Ranked at the top...Now I order you, and immediately let the soldiers on the ship jump me into the sea, and then take your warship and follow me to meet the enemy!"

Elias was taken aback and hesitantly said, "...but... Commander Miltías raised the Apollo flag and let us--"

"Miltias is a fool!" Seckrian interrupted him angrily, shouting: "The enemies have been killed, all the warships are still full of soldiers, there is no ability to fight, what's the use of gathering together !Is it easy to be sunk by the enemy! As the naval commander of the First Fleet, I now order you to execute the order immediately!"

"Yes... yes!" Ilyas responded loudly. From the bottom of his heart, he was absolutely in favor of Seclian's approach, because the beliefs developed by the First Fleet under the influence of Seclian were always offensive, never Passively beaten.

It was just that the soldiers on the deck who heard the conversation between the two began to make noise, and they did not want to be driven off the ship.

Ilyas had to face them and exhorted loudly: "The warriors of Dionysia, our fleet is now facing strong enemies, and the situation is urgent! But because the ship is loaded with you, the ship cannot fight. Or you Jump down into the sea, so that we can go to fight, repel the enemy, and then come back to rescue you; or you can stay on the ship, wait for the enemy ship to come, sink this warship, and then everyone becomes a captive... Please make a choice now!"

The deck suddenly became silent, and soon a man stepped forward.

"Team leader!" the soldiers shouted earnestly, focusing Xi Yi's eyes on him.

"Brothers, if the navy is finished, we will have a big trouble!" The captain said with a firm expression: "With your long shield, we jump into the sea and let the navy see that not only they can swim."

After he finished speaking, none of the soldiers objected and picked up the long shields on the deck one by one. This was the strict discipline of the Dionysian Corps, even if it was just a corps reserve.

"Please help us save the other armor and weapons first." The captain instructed Ilyas, and then carried the long shield, "Pun", the first jumped into the sea, the other soldiers followed immediately... …

In the process, Elias has been performing military salutes.

After the order was made by Seckrian, he did not stop by this ship, but continued to chase other ships. Because the ship was full of soldiers, the speed of the soldiers was slow. It was not difficult to catch up with them. After stopping several ships , He discovered a situation: all he encountered were ships of the First Fleet (that is, ships that broke into the port of Serinus and escaped the disaster when the storm occurred), and there were many soldiers on the ship. It is a soldier of the Legion Reserve of Dionysia.

Sectrian thought a little and realized that this was certainly not accidental.

In order to hurry up, Miltias ordered at the port that the warships could start as long as they were full of soldiers, and the legionary reserve soldiers were more well-trained and organized than the civilian soldiers of other city-states, so they could use the fastest The speed gathered at the pier and boarded the warship.

At the same time, Miltias is the last departure because he wants to supervise the entire boarding process. Any military commander generally has a habit of gathering his most trusted troops around, so that in battle Command is more convenient and can play a greater role, although this is only a troop transport.Miltias still habitually made the first fleet warships dock at the dock first, so the fourth fleet warships that followed him for more than ten years would then depart and be closer to him.

The unintentional arrangement of Miltias facilitated Sekerian. He can make the first fleet warships and legionary soldiers sailing in the front carry out his order more smoothly: it is a fast three-layer paddle warship. The soldiers above all jumped into the sea; the crow warships kept 40 soldiers, and the rest jumped into the sea.

Of course, Sekerian would also encounter AIA soldiers on the battleship. They clearly resisted this order, and some even threatened to occupy the ship by force. The captain could only patiently persuade, and there were nearby wars. The soldiers on the ship jumped into the sea to set an example. Most of these friendly soldiers eventually obeyed, but it just delayed the time...

………………………………………

Just as Sekeri was anxiously persuading the east ship to obey his orders, the East Phoenician fleet was speeding up and chasing the Dionysian warships retreating towards the coast.

The sailors of Dionysia struggled to paddle, but the ship was full of soldiers, which seriously affected the speed of the warship, and was gradually narrowed by the East Phoenician fleet, which had been raised to the highest speed.

East Phoenician warships, like tigers and wolves, pounced on the fat sheep in their eyes.

The Dionysian warship that fell behind looked at it, but simply turned around and bravely rushed to meet the enemy ship, but how could the Dionysian warship lost its speed and flexibility be a lightly armed East The opponents of the Phoenician warship were either broken off the oars or hit the hull, and the Dionyan crew and soldiers continued to jump into the sea in exclaimation.

Of course, there are occasional exceptions. These East Phoenician crew members learned about the Dionysia fleet in the mouth of their colonial compatriots, but after all, they have not experienced it personally. Several East Phoenician warships were careless when they faced the rush. Hooked by the twelve-meter suspension bridge of the Crow's warship, allied soldiers dressed in armour and armed with weapons swarmed past.

Other Phoenician warships who saw this terrible scene quickly learned their lessons. When they faced the crow warships again, they avoided the bow and attacked the stern.

The crow warship was inflexible due to the excessive number of soldiers, the speed was slow, and there was no fast three-layer paddle warship to protect it, which became the focus of the Phoenician warship.

Miltias’s ship was rushing towards the beach, which happened to be the beach where the infantry of the fleet landed during the night’s attack a few days ago. It was just one mile away, and the distance was getting closer, but Miltias There was no rejoicing on the face, and the heart was suffering all the time.

Originally he had been sitting on the stern, watching the follow-up of other warships, but what he saw was: countless enemy ships rushing to attack the warships that fell behind. Tenacious resistance, but either being sunk or destroyed, stiffly floating on the sea surface, letting the enemy bully, the crew's exclamation continued, and more and more crew and soldiers fell into the sea...

This situation made Miltias feel like a knife: these are the warships he has applied to the military department with a cheeky face for more than a decade, meticulously maintained and repaired every day, and he has worked hard to save them.There are also these brothers who have been with him hard and hard for more than ten years. He brought them to Sicily with eagerness. He has not fought a major battle, but he is about to lose his life!...

He couldn't help standing up again and said loudly: "Stop the boat immediately for me! Leave 40 soldiers. The other soldiers immediately jumped off the boat and swam to the beach by themselves! Quick! Quick!"

At this time, the order issued by Miltias was the same as that of Seclian. In fact, he had this idea in his mind before, but he was still lucky. At that time, he was worried that driving the soldiers on the ship into the sea would cause AIA afterwards. The protests against him are not good for him. After all, he made a big mistake... The difference of one thought caused the Sicilian fleet to encounter difficulties, and now he regrets it.

The AIA soldiers on the deck are not arguing like the AIA soldiers on the east warship because they have seen the bad situation on the sea behind them. It is not necessarily safer to stay on the ship than in the sea. They take snapshots.

Miltiyas did not direct the flagship to rush directly to the enemy ship, but quickly drove to the neighboring warship. He needed to gather the neighboring warships scattered outside the battlefield as soon as possible to fight this unknown. The coming enemy fleet.

In fact, due to the critical situation, it is not necessary to remind Miltias that some soldiers on the Dionysian warships have actively jumped into the sea so that the warships can participate in the battle.

However, the first wave of attacks by the East Phoenician Fleet had damaged at least 10 Dionysian three-layer paddle warships, and had torn apart the fragmented rear of the Dionysian Fleet. The warship chased the scattered Dionysian warships in an attempt to wipe out the rear of the Diaodia fleet.

The Miltias flagship with a large hull and a red blood flag on the top of the mast naturally became the main target of the East Phoenician attack. A total of five Phoenician warships approached it quickly, which forced Miltias He had to stop his original plan.

Miltias made a decision immediately, and he gave orders to a crow warship and a fast three-tier paddle warship gathered on both sides of his ship.

Soon, the crow warship and his flagship quickly turned around and headed towards the coast, while the fast 3-storey paddle warship turned a corner and sailed in a direction parallel to the coast, pulling away from them.
