Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

However, such a tragic scene basically did not appear, and most of the Carthaginian fleet dexterously avoided the rapid collision, worthy of crossing the Dionysian warship.

After experiencing such a thrilling scene, most of the Carthaginian sailors not only did not feel scared, but shouted even more excitedly: See, Dionysian, this is the true strength of our Carthaginian sailors!

Hey, you guys are so clumsy, you're just like old ladies in their sixties or seventies!

With such a level of sailing, you dare to compete with us, collide with you a hundred times, and you don't even want to touch me!

...

The Dionysians couldn't understand the shouts of the Carthaginian crew, but they could understand the humiliating gestures of the enemy, especially seeing some Carthaginians lifted their clothes and took out that thing to urinate on them. It is a great shame!

Even the prudent flagship captain couldn't help scolding: Damn Carthaginians! If there are bows and arrows on board, I wish I could shoot them to death with one arrow!

Sekelian was also angry in his heart, but as a commander, of course he couldn't show it, but said solemnly: These Carthaginians are too happy, our fast warships will send them to see Posse. winter!

Sekelian adopted a staggered arrangement of double-side teams, which was to use more flexible and fast warships as the rear row to kill those merchant ships that escaped the first round of shocks, but he did not expect that the front row of warships charged almost nothing.

So he turned and looked expectantly aft.

As a result, he saw in disbelief: the Carthaginian merchant ships were like swimming fish, using the surging waves to escape the impact of the fast warships again and again, from the warships between the warships. Passed through the gap, and at the same time, the sound of laughter came faintly from behind again.

Sekelian couldn't hold back his emotions any longer, and slammed a violent fist on the mast, roaring: Go after me and sink these damn merchant ships!

In fact, there was no need for his order at all, and almost all the warships quickly turned their bows and chased the away Carthaginian merchant ships.

The Dionysian navy has developed rapidly in recent years and has achieved outstanding achievements. Except for that natural storm, they have hardly encountered any failures. Even the once mighty Carthaginian navy has been trampled under their feet. How proud they are in their hearts, When have they suffered such humiliation? All the crew members will never allow these Carthaginian merchant ships, which trampled on their dignity, to go away like this. Everyone was suffocated. Not only did the captain ask to speed up, but the sailors also became more Push the paddle hard,

The warships chased the merchant ships ahead at a faster speed, vowing to sink them in order to relieve their hatred.

At this time, it would be difficult for anyone to stop their pursuit in a short period of time, and Cykrian knew his fleet, so he encouraged them to continue the attack.

A sea chase begins.

Now, the Dionysian Sicilian fleet is divided into two parts: 80 warships are chasing and blocking more than 200 Carthaginian merchant ships revolving around the island in the waters near Eryx; 200 warships are chasing wildly in the waters near Lilibe Teasing their 60 Carthaginian merchant ships.

……………………………………

The chase in the south has just begun, and the siege and interception in the north have been going on for some time. Although the cunning Carthaginian merchant ships shuttled through the islands and reefs of this sea area, the Dionian warship, who was not very familiar with the sea conditions here, had to slow down. , Pursuing cautiously, gave the Carthaginian merchant ships more opportunities to escape the pursuit, but when the warships under Stefancas were completely dispersed throughout the sea, the disaster of the Carthaginian merchant ships came.

After all, once the fleet was dispersed, the Diorian warships each took charge of a small area of ​​the sea, and the Carthaginian merchant ships inevitably encountered warships frequently. The ability of these Carthaginian sailors to steer their sailboats is indeed very strong, but the sailboats mainly rely on the wind, and when going against the wind, the speed is naturally affected, while the Dionysian warship relies on the paddlers and is hardly affected by the wind direction, And the narrow waterways divided by the islands and reefs also gave the Carthaginian merchant ships enough space to escape.

After more than half an hour, the Carthaginian merchant ships lost nearly half, and many Carthaginian sailors who sank and swam ashore stood on various islands and reefs. Carthage fleet.

But Stefankas was not dazzled by the victory in front of him. He had two doubts: First, since the escape tactics of the Carthaginian fleet had failed, why are these merchant ships still dealing with them in this area? Second, he had just discovered that the ships stacked on the Carthage merchant ship were just simple empty wooden cages, covered tightly with linen cloth, and looked like they were full of cargo. After the ship sank, they all floated up. Stefankas also wondered how the Carthaginian merchant ships could go so fast with so much weight.

The Carthaginian merchant ships were apparently doing something by enticing them with such disguises! . . . Stefankas raised his vigilance. He stopped the ship from chasing the enemy ship and sailed to the west between the islands of Agusa and Phorbantia, which was the center of the sea. At the same time, he sent a A number of clippers, closely monitoring the surrounding situation, especially in the west.

The reason why he did not gather the warships immediately was because he thought that in a short while, his fleet could basically wipe out these Carthaginian merchant ships that deceived them, which was not only a big deal for the Carthaginians The blow also completed the task given by Chief Sekelian, and it also made them sigh.

General, look! Another merchant ship has been sunk! The crew on deck shouted excitedly.

Is the captain of that fast warship Ilias? Stefankas looked forward with interest and said, After missing the target, he can immediately take a reverse stroke and use the stern to overturn the merchant ship. Ash's mind is very flexible!

Compared with merchant ships, our warships are huge, and they can be rammed and sunk with either the bow or the stern, but so far, I have seen Elias' warships adopt this new tactic. I have never thought about it like this, including myself, Ilias is worthy of being the best captain in our fleet! The captains of the ships on the side were sincerely admiring.

Traditional habits have imprisoned our minds! Stepakas nodded his head and said seriously: When we go back, we will promote this new tactic, and then the fleet will encounter Carthage merchant ships again. We have one more weapon.

Yes!

There is an enemy situation! The lookout on the main mast suddenly shouted nervously: The clipper in the west has raised the yellow flag! Three yellow flags!

Stefanos was shocked in his heart: Whatever you are worried about, you can come! Undoubtedly, it was the Carthaginian fleet that attacked, and the number far exceeded its own squadron!

Blow the bugle! Raise the yellow flag! Raise the Apollo flag! Stefankas shouted loudly, he was very nervous, he must immediately gather all the scattered warships to avoid being destroyed by each .

Then, he said solemnly: Inform a fast ship, rush to the south immediately, and tell Lord Sekelian that the Carthaginian fleet is attacking, and we need to get reinforcements immediately!

After Steffakas issued the order, he was a little settled. He thought in his heart: The Clippers found the enemy's situation, indicating that the enemy's fleet was still four or five miles away, and this sea area was only four or five miles. The fleet still has time to adjust tactics and respond.

But what he didn't know was that there was an island called Hiera in the due west of the flagship. The clipper that passed the rest was originally located on the west side of Hiera Island. When his lookout found the Carthaginian fleet from the west When it came, the yellow flag was raised immediately, but after a while, the clipper captain did not hear the bugle sound from the flagship of the squadron (according to the regulations of the Dionysian Navy, the flagship must communicate the order at the same time. Sounding the bugle to alert the warships under his command), he was surprised that it didn't take him long to find out that he had made a mistake, because the island of Sheila blocked it, and the flagship lookout might not be able to see the hoisting flag at all, he hurried Let the Clippers bypass Gila Island, and soon the bugle is heard, but this tossing has taken some time.

Although 80 Dionian warships are scattered in this sea area, not too far from the flagship, they can almost hear the bugle sound, but it will take a little time to know the order issued by the flagship, because it is in battle The watchman will not stay on the mast, otherwise the huge impact force will cause the watchman to fall, and the ship must be slowed down so that the watchman can climb the main mast. There are also some warships that are separated by islands, and there is no semaphore at all, and the warships have to be circled... So it will take time to get all the warships to regroup around the Stefankas flagship.

And now time is undoubtedly crucial. Just as the flagship of the Dionysian Squadron sounded the bugle, the Carthaginian naval commander Morbal had led 170 warships to the west side of Gila Island, and immediately responded to the The three Dionian warships, chasing the merchant ships, attacked.

At the same time, the Carthaginian fleet quickly split into two, each with 75 warships, one from the north and one from the south bypassing the Isle of Gila to attack the other Dionian ships.

The merchant sailors on the island of Sheila saw that the Carthaginian fleet finally appeared, and they all cheered and shouted: It's time for us to take revenge! Send all the Dionians to the sea to feed the fish!  …

Among the three Dionian warships, there were two crow ships and one fast warship. They patronized the front and back to intercept several fleeing Carthaginian merchant ships. When they found the Carthaginian fleet approaching, they wanted to retreat. It's a little late.
