Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Because the island of Hira was blocked on the east side, the three Dionysian warships had to bypass it to retreat. In this way, the sides and tail of the ship were exposed to enemy attacks, and perhaps the fast warship could escape Attack, but these two cumbersome crow warships are probably unable to escape the doom. In such a dangerous situation, the three warships all chose to stay in battle.

Morbal originally thought that the three Dionysian warships would choose to retreat, because the difference in strength was so great, but the other party chose to stay and fight. The strength of the morale of the Dionysian navy battle today sighed, so he changed his mind. , Instead of directing the flagship to follow the two fleets, he chose to stay with 19 other warships. Although he had learned a lot about the Dionysian Navy from a large population, he now wants to see for himself What is the combat level and tactical characteristics of the Dionysian warship?

Next, the actions taken by the Dionysian warships made him frown again, because they did not blindly attack, but quickly gathered together and retreated to the coast of Sheila Island. The two crow warships were in front. It is inverted "eight", and the fast warship is behind, located in the middle. This shape is like a lobster that has protruded out of the cave and protruded two large mastiffs. Because there is an island in the rear as a barrier, they only have to deal with the front. The threat from the side.

This shows that the Dionysia navy not only has a high morale, but also is well-trained, cooperative, and has a low tactical awareness!...Morbar looked dignified.

The Carthage warships began to attack: first, the two warships circled the sides of the two crow warships, and sprinted. The crow warships shifted the bow to the side and back, making the two warships dare not act lightly. ; But the crow warships skewed outwards, which inevitably exposed more of their inner hulls, so two more Carthage warships quickly rushed towards the inner hulls of the crow warships. In other words, if it moves the bow inward, it will inevitably expose the outer hull to the collision angle of the other two warships. This is a dilemma.

At this moment, the captain of the fast warship shouted towards the crow warships on both sides: "I-in the middle!"

Having said that, the sailors on the ship tried their best to accelerate the oars, and the fast warship quickly turned from static to sprint forward, because his bow did not face any enemy ship, but had to pass through the middle of the two ships. However, this gave the captains of the two Carthage warships an illusion, thinking that the enemy was in a bad situation and was ready to escape.

When it was said that it was too late and then that was fast, the captain of the fast warship heard the captain on the deck shouting: "Turn left! Strike horizontally!

The sailor was stunned: Isn't it necessary to fully expose his hull to the enemy ships outside?!

But he immediately understood the captain's intentions, and suddenly his eyes were red, hissing: "Turn left...Straight!"

Despite their doubts, the sailors had many years of hard training that allowed them to quickly execute orders.

At this moment, the two crow warships moved inward at the same time, immediately compressing the dodge space of the two Carthage warships on the inside.When the surrounding Carthage warships realized the danger, they immediately attacked the three Dionysian warships.

However, neither the Dionysian warships evaded. Two crow suspension bridges landed on the deck of the inner Carthage battleship. The fleet infantry quickly rushed across the suspension bridge, and at the same time, the sailors were With urging, he left the cabin unwillingly, went up to the deck, and watched with tears as the Carthage warship rushed towards their warship: most of them were survivors of that sea storm. With a new warship, the first battle will be sunk...

Three Dionysian warships were hit by Carthage warships successively, the crew jumped into the sea, and the fleet infantry quickly cut down the few Carthage infantry on the deck and rushed into the bilge. To the panicked Carthage oarsmen, this time the fleet infantry stabbed them one by one without mercy.

The screams of the Carthage crews resounded through the sea, and the captains of the other Carthages were moved. They all said to Morbar: All the deck soldiers on the warships were sent to these two ships. Defeat the soldiers of Dionia and rescue the oarsmen on the ship.

Morbar refused categorically. He was already in the loess. He had already seen life and death, and he did not care much about the lives of these three or four hundred Carthage and Phoenician low rowers. He did not want to let these warships delay time for this. Moreover, judging from the current situation, even all the deck soldiers will not be able to defeat these well-trained Dionysian infantry.

Up to now, the surprise in his heart has not dissipated: in the case of his absolute dominance, three Dionysian warships seizing their own warships are still tempting and quickly and decisively adopt effective tactics. In the moment when the rabbit fell, he successfully won two warships!

The excellent performance of the Dionysian warship made him shudder, and he was very uneasy in his heart, so he gave the order to "sink his own warship" without hesitation.

Seeing that when the warship was hit, dozens of Dionysian soldiers held a short sword skin shield, quickly rushed to the deck, jumped into the water stained with blood, and more easily swam to the beach not far away ...Morbar, while surprised, knew that the Carthage sailors on Sheila Island would be in serious trouble.

But he has no time to take care of these at the moment, he must immediately lead these warships into the battle against this lured Dionysian fleet, destroy as many Dionysian warships as possible, in order to live up to these Carthages The sacrifice of the base merchant ship.

The Dionysian warships scattered on both sides of the island of Sheila were also under siege by the superior forces of the Carthage fleet. They also carried out tenacious resistance to delay the time when the Carthage fleet swept eastward.

In the small sea area among several islands, centered on the Stefakas flagship, warships are gradually coming together...

When Morbar led the fleet to bypass Sheila Island, Stefacas, who gathered only more than 30 warships, did not hesitate to launch an attack on the number of warships far more than his Carthage fleet.

In the previous observation, Morbar has realized the terrible advantage of the Dionysian fleet in overall tactical coordination and jump combat, and the islands of Sheila and the east form a small circle. The sea area does not have enough space for the Carthage warship to make a wide range of roundabouts, but it is conducive to the greater play of the unique tactics of the Dionysian fleet. In the case of some huge advantages, Morbar certainly Unwilling to fight hard like this, he gave the order to "sweep the outside of the island, destroy the scattered Dionysian warships, and finally nibble the hard bone in the center".

Of course, Morbar also hopes to see the enemy in the center continue to pursue and drive away from this narrow sea area, then the Carthage fleet will not hesitate to concentrate on destroying it.

……………………………………

The Carthage fleet led by Barricks walked along the "Zigzag" route, trying to maintain a short and close distance with the Dionysian fleet.

The main fleet led by Sekerian chased them, especially the fast warships gradually approached and sank several commercial ships.Another 10 fast warships did not chase behind other warships under Sekelian’s order, but drove straight to the port of Rilitan at the fastest speed, cutting off the return of the Carthage fleet , And gradually formed a surrounding circle.

When Barrickos saw that an enemy ship was intercepting ahead, he did not panic, but issued a crazy command: "Turn around!"

In the case of completely headwind, the boat just turned around has almost no speed, all relying on the delicate control of the helmsman and the oarsman, dangerously and dangerously again avoiding the Dionysian battle that has to go forward under the action of inertia Ships, other Carthage merchant ships are also handled in the same way, but in the process, at least seven merchant ships were sunk.

The crew of Dionysia was not so happy, because the rest of the Carthage merchant ships broke through their encirclement again, which was simply a silent humiliation to the Dionysia navy.

The Dionysian warships turned around and chased afterwards, but they actually turned the bow once again, facing the east, and the sails turned to the right. With the help of the southwest wind, they crossed the Dionysian warships and crossed them.

At this time, the crew of the Dionysian ship was already blushing and thick neck, and even some fleet infantry on the crow ship even threw the short sword in their hands directly to the Carthage on the merchant ship near them.

Barrickos led more than 30 merchant ships through the gap between the Dionysian warships, sailing directly to the coast not far away, then clinging to the coastline and turning around to head south.

Seckrian was dumbfounded. He didn't expect the Carthaginians to play this trick: That's the coast!The Carthage merchant ship is small and light. The position it can exercise may be stranded for warships, and there are many reefs near the coast. The Carthage people are familiar with the sea conditions here, but the Dionysians are not very familiar. It is easy to damage the ship by hitting the reef.

The Carthage merchant ship played the Dionysian Sicilian fleet between applause, angering the confident Seclian. In order to restore the honor of the navy, he vowed to sink these brave enemies today.

On the one hand, he sent a small number of warships to accelerate towards Mazara and Lilifang, while the other warships were cruising near the coast between the two cities. They were constantly staring at these Carthage merchant ships. Unless they abandoned the ship and landed, the Sicilian fleet would Faced with them in this way, even Sectrian was preparing to call back several clippers and let them try to approach the Carthage merchant ship.

After a while, several clippers were ordered to come, and the extra one brought an emergency military situation.

"Our squadron is being assaulted by the Carthage Fleet to the north!" Seckrian heard the news, and the burning anger in his heart instantly extinguished, and his doubts about the two previous Carthage fleets were instantly solved. Open, but the anxiety is expanding rapidly: Obviously this is a conspiracy planned by the Carthage Navy, it must be well prepared, and the situation of the squadron is very dangerous!

At this time, where Sectrian could take care of the carthage fleet that had repeatedly provoked his dignity, it took some time for him to quickly recall the warships scattered between the seas of Lili and Mazala.

………………………………………

Morbar certainly did not forget the main fleet of Dionia in the south. When Seclion assembled the warships and headed north, he soon got the news.
