Pyro is coming!

The two Roman soldiers who were about to take a good look were shocked. They never imagined that the Qin soldiers had been forced to the end and even wanted to die with the enemy.

Sometimes it's like this, cleverness is mistaken for cleverness. The Roman soldiers who could think of leaving the main battlefield and running to the stern of the ship to find an advantage were panicked.

"Kill him!" One of the Roman soldiers, who looked like a squad leader, screamed strangely and waved his hand at his companions. What he meant was that my military position is higher than yours, so it is natural for my subordinates to carry out such small things.

The Roman soldier who was called staggered and suddenly turned and ran away. He had not recovered from the battle with the Qin people just now. How could he have the courage to compete with an opponent who was covered in thorns? This civilian who was born as a farmer.

Soldiers are only recruited to perform military service. They are not like slaves without freedom who can be manipulated by their masters.

"Damn it." The Roman soldier, who was looking for a scapegoat, had no choice but to face him. At this time, the Qin crossbowmen were already close to him, and even escaping was impossible.

"Boo!"

The Roman sword pierced the human body, making a strange sizzling sound, and a burning smell came, making the murderous Roman soldiers gag.

The Qin crossbow soldier who was stabbed in the abdomen continued to pounce out unyieldingly. Although his steps were unsteady, the burning pain made this ordinary soldier who had never even left his name more awake. In his eyes, there was only

Staring closely at the opponent in red in front of him.

"Ah, let me go, help!" The Roman soldier's screams were heartbreaking, and he couldn't bear it just because the fire was transmitted to his body.

Killing and being killed.

They are two completely different realms. Some people seem to be extremely brave and are extremely ruthless when killing people. But such people often behave very cowardly when they are killed by others. They

Like ordinary people, they are afraid of death and cry for mercy.

Life is equal.

The Roman soldiers who were struggling to escape and the Qin soldiers who were seriously injured and just wanted to die with the enemy hugged each other tightly. They rolled and kicked like a pair of brothers.

The fire of the stern ship rolled away——.

On the other side of the battlefield.

Yan Hui was covered in blood, and there were only a few people standing around him. However, what made him proud was that time was delayed for another hour, and the Romans' energy was able to wear away a lot. Next, the Grand Fleet

The siege and annihilation plan will go more smoothly unless the Romans flee without a fight.

"Warrior of the Qin people, surrender, as long as you tell your conspiracy——!" Opposite, the Roman soldiers showed a proud smile. The real fun of cat and mouse is in this last moment.

Yan Hui leaned against the rudder with a pale face. Under his body, drops of blood were falling continuously. He was hit by a sword in his chest and abdomen, and a huge gash was opened at the base of his thigh.

With limited mobility, he had no chance of escape, even if he had the ability to jump into the sea.

conspiracy!

That is the plan for this battle!

Yan Hui's dark eyes flashed with a little light. It wouldn't take long for these Romans to be killed and fled in defeat, and many of them would die in the sea. Compared with himself, it would be just a little earlier.

Just a little later.

"Ahem, do you want to know? Then come over here?" Yan Hui said with a sneer.

"This -!" The Roman soldiers looked at each other and stopped talking. Just now, they had seen the ferocity of this group of Qin people with their own eyes. Many of their companions were dead or injured on the deck. If they were together,

If something unexpected happens when you go up there, it won't be a big loss.

"Why, even the warriors of Great Rome are afraid of death, haha——!" Yan Hui twitched the corner of his mouth and hissed.

"You——, get up!" The Romans who couldn't stand being laughed at by toys couldn't bear it anymore. According to the position in the army, a squad leader was unfortunately and fortunately selected. At this time, this Roman soldier was really

I hate my usual big mouth and show off my ability to speak Eastern languages.

The Roman squad leader who slowly walked forward awkwardly approached Yan Hui, trying to take something out of this unyielding enemy's mouth. As soon as he lowered his head, Yan Hui kicked him violently.

The injured leg and body rushed forward like an arrow. After the two people rolled into a ball, they fell into the sea in the direction of the ship's rudder.

"Portom!"

The sound of heavy objects falling into the sea was mixed with the squeak of the capsizing ship. The Roman soldiers who witnessed this scene looked at each other, and each of them secretly rejoiced in their hearts.

Half an hour later.

The Qin army's tail ship, which was burned to nothing but its frame, finally sank. It was the first ship to be buried in this great sea battle, but it would never be the last ship.

The Roman fleet, which gained nothing, continued to pursue, and Crassus kept using semaphores to encourage the following fleets. If a large Roman warship could sink a Qin ship, it would naturally be able to sink more enemy warships.

——.

The southern tip of Cape André.

The rest of the Lei Sui fleet had returned safely, and the feeling of watching their friendly troops die tragically in battle made the soldiers of the Qin army extremely uncomfortable.

"General Lei, Marshal Gan's order has not yet been issued. Let's attack quickly to prevent the Romans from escaping?" Lei, who stared with red eyes, was hurriedly called by the captains of the warships to request a battle.

"Give Marshal Gan the signal, when to attack?" Lei was biting his lips bitterly, suppressing the impulse in his heart. The strict laws and regulations in the Qin Army made this reckless hero restrained a lot, and more importantly

The most interesting thing is Li Yuan's speech when he inspected the port of Troy.

Great Qin not only needs brave warriors, but also models of strict discipline. If anyone can combine the two, then he will be the pillar of Qin in the future. Li Yuan's original words were spoken in front of dozens of naval commanders.

What he said was that Lei was being knighted at the Battle of Crete at the time, so he heard it very clearly.

Gan Yong is still waiting.

After the big fish of the Roman fleet swallowed a small mouthful of delicious bait, whether it stopped in time and retreated, or continued to sail in the direction of the big bait, the answer is self-evident.

Facing heavy domestic pressure, Crassus has no way out. If he cannot find the Qin fleet for a decisive battle this time, what awaits him is to be dismissed or even imprisoned when he returns home. Scipio, amidst internal and external troubles, is desperate.

He needed a scapegoat to save himself, and Crassus, the former naval commander appointed by Fabian, was undoubtedly the most suitable one.

It's near dusk.

Cape André looks particularly beautiful under the setting sun. Under the colorful halo, the black rocks in the distance seem to be covered with a faint golden glow. Even the seabirds flying above the island look like they have come down from the sky.

Just like the messengers. In front of such beautiful scenery, the officers of the Great Qin Navy were silent and solemn. Through the display of beacon signals and the transmission of carrier pigeons, the soldiers of each ship knew the tragic ending of Yanhui's last ship.

"Shuai Gan, the beacon ship is reporting back, are the Romans catching up?" Sima Chao Cuo quickly walked in and out between the signal platform and the deck. It is not an easy task to maintain smooth communication with a large fleet, and

Chao Cuo has accomplished this task very well so far.

"Report the distance at any time, and send orders to all ships to prepare to meet the enemy!" Gan Yong took a long breath and ordered loudly.

The waiting process is long, and it is also the most test of a general's ability. The key to victory or defeat on the battlefield lies in grasping the timing. Only attacking at the right time is the most ideal result. Otherwise, sooner or later, the enemy will be defeated.

It cannot play a positive role.

Night, six o'clock.

When the last glow of the setting sun gradually disappeared, Crassus and his Roman fleet finally arrived at Cape Andrea. Only at this time did the game of chasing and escaping officially come to an end.

moment.

"Look, it's the Qin people, a large number of Qin ships?" The Roman watchman exclaimed, which made the somewhat tired Crassus regain his energy.

"Seize the upper wind direction, quickly!" Crassus shouted. As an experienced naval battle commander, the reaction when facing the enemy is the most important. In this age of sails that rely mainly on natural forces, tailwinds and headwinds are of great importance.

The impact on both warring parties is huge.

Collision angle hedging.

The ramming horns of the Qin army's warships were improved iron horns covered with iron sheets, while the ramming horns on the Roman side were traditional metal horns mainly made of bronze. Which of the two sides is stronger depends on the specific naval battle results. However,

The Romans chose to face the enemy in the above wind direction mainly to better exert the deterrent effect of the javelin.

Using a side string to attack a Qin ship, a group of passing Roman warships can attack the same target without stopping. However, due to the viewing angle, the Qin army can only engage the enemy with the front ship, and the rest can fight with the enemy.

Each ship could only watch helplessly as its friendly ships were beaten.

——.

The other direction.

The Qin fleet dispersed in a flying geese formation. With his advanced knowledge of the terrain of this sea area, Gan Yong divided his fleet into several squads. On average, each fleet had two to three ships, and each fleet had a military commander.

One person is responsible for command and liaison. Although this arrangement disperses the firepower, it is more flexible and can change the target at any time.

"boom!"

On Lei's ship, the crossbow loaded on the bow burst out at an astonishing speed, drilling straight into the waterline of a single-masted warship behind Crassus's flagship. Under the powerful impact, the single-masted warship

Three oarsmen on one side of the boat were shot dead, and the remaining seven were thrown out of their seats and fell into the salty sea water.

"Quickly get away from the Qin people's crossbow!" The captains of the Roman fleets were all shocked. The range of the couch crossbow was higher than that of the javelin, and the crossbow arrows that relied on the power of beef tendons were faster than human power.

There were a lot of javelins thrown, and in the face of the Qin army's big killing weapon again, the Romans' move to seize the upper hand turned into a performance of moths flying into the flame. (To be continued...)
