The couch crossbow shows off its power!

This is a plan that the Qin army has planned for a long time.

After Lei was fired by the ship's crossbow, the ships of the Qin army, which occupied a favorable position, also used this new type of weapon to put pressure on the Romans.

The crossbows were fired one after another! The wind and waves were getting bigger and bigger in the night wind. The two Roman ships, eager to avoid the crossbow bolts, made a mistake in the rush. The bottom of the ship was hit by a reef. On the deck of the overturned ship, Roman soldiers who could not stand came one after another.

fell into the sea.

"Get closer, get closer - don't let the Qin people keep their distance!" Crassus shouted loudly. The formation of the Roman fleet turned sharply in the night, and Crassus's ship looked at the center of the large number of Qin ships.

Gan Yong's flagship, he decided to lead his men to attack it and capture the Qin commander in one fell swoop.

Close combat.

Roman soldiers had experience in continuous battles. The tall springboard could ensure that Roman soldiers boarded enemy ships smoothly. At the same time, the concentrated use of javelins could also eliminate enemy resistance.

As soon as the Romans launched their new move, Lei Fu, who had been eyeing Crassus for a long time, came over from the flank and killed him. The soldiers of Lei Fu, who were determined to avenge the Yanhui Ship, stared at each other with red eyes and used all their strength.

They are all used in fighting the enemy.

"Damn it, stop these bastards!" Crassus yelled viciously, making people feel that he was extremely dissatisfied. Although Lei Fei's squadron was brave, it should not be the opponent of the Roman soldiers in close combat, but the current battle situation is

Yes, most Roman ships were entangled and unable to move.

Time passed by minute by minute.

One after another, warships either withdrew from the battlefield or were sunk in the sea, while more warships from both sides were staggered together, with the sides of the ships touching each other. Soldiers from both sides held weapons and fought with all their strength.

.

Lei was covered in blood.

He was capable of killing. At this time, he had long forgotten his identity as the commander. The seven warships of the left fleet broke into the Roman fleet for a long time. In the fierce battle, three more ships sank, and the remaining four ships were mined and buried.

All the ships, including the ship, were scarred, and they could not even withdraw from the battlefield safely.

In comparison, the situation of Gan Yong's middle fleet was much better. Due to the obstruction of the thunder, Crassus's attack did not cause much damage to the Qin army's main fleet. After some planning, Gan Yong continued to use detachment.

With his posture, he commanded the Qin ships to pursue and intercept the Romans.

——.

The Roman side.

Crassus had used all his strength.

But his efforts could not bring about a happy victory. The Qin army on the opposite side was like brown candy, sticking tightly to the most vital parts of the Romans. What made Crassus even more angry was that...

Due to malnutrition and sepsis, the close combat skills that Roman soldiers were proud of in the past also lost their effect.

Relying on the continuous-fire machine crossbows, the Qin soldiers who had mastered the new weapons could kill and kill their enemies at close range. However, the Roman soldiers were not familiar with this method of the Qin army.

During the war, he suffered losses again and again.

At midnight.

On the sea of ​​Cape Andre, the wreckage of Roman warships can be seen everywhere. The Roman fleet, which had almost exhausted all its strength, lost more than twenty warships, which frightened Crassus.

"General, we can't continue the fight. The enemy fleet has only dispatched more than twenty warships. There may be a trick here. If they still retain a fresh force, then we will be in danger." Beside Crassus,

There are also trusted aides, and this difficult time is a critical point for them to make comments.

"The Qin people still have strength?" Crassus felt his head was spinning. It was getting dark just now, and he was only focused on chasing and killing, but he did not carefully count the number of enemy ships that appeared on the battlefield.

"General, my subordinates have carefully counted them. The one that attacked the most fiercely was the small fleet that lured us here. Although they looked very powerful, they were actually only seven or eight ships. The main force of the Qin army near the bay was

The fleet is about fifteen ships

, After all this calculation, the Qin people still have about ten ships that are missing. On the occasion of this war, it is absolutely impossible for the Qin people to keep these warships from leaving the port, so——!" In order to save his life, Crassus's think tank

They also tried their best.

"Then what are you waiting for? Give the order to retreat!" Crassus shouted and hurriedly issued the order for the entire fleet to retreat. For him, leaving the green hills behind would not worry about running out of firewood. Even if he went back, he might be dismissed and fired.

He must be held accountable, but at least he can save one life. If he continues to fight the Qin fleet, he will really be buried in this unknown sea.

——.

The Romans are fleeing!

From the signs of panic on the other side, Gan Yong was keenly aware that the battle situation was about to undergo major changes. The continuous fierce fighting for nearly a day and half of the night had exhausted the vigor and patience of the Romans to the extreme. At this time, the Qin army, which had been accumulating strength,

On the other hand, we are finally going to make some efforts.

"Give General Hu the order to attack!"

"Don't let an enemy ship escape!"

Gan Yong's order was short and direct, like a powerful crossbow bolt, going straight to the heart of the Romans. The fleet on the right, which had been waiting in the other corner of the bay for a long time, held its breath after receiving the order.

They put all their strength into swinging the oars.

"Brothers, it's time to eat meat. We can't let Lei be laughed at by that kid!" Hu Ran shouted in a loud voice to a group of former bandits who had been following him for a long time.

There are also thieves.

After switching to a new battlefield, the bandits of Juye Ze once again stood on the competitive stage for hegemony. Although the old man Peng Yue had retired to seclusion, under the leadership of the brave general Hu Ju, the bandits continued to fight for hegemony.

They joined the Great Qin Navy with a new attitude. They thought they were all-powerful in rivers and boats, and naturally they would not admit that they would lose to a group of young boys.

The appearance of the murderous and highly morale guard fleet became the last straw for the Romans. Crassus's remaining ships had already lost their fighting spirit during the retreat, and when they saw that another Qin ship came out as expected, they

They are even more frightened. For them, who have been deceived by the Qin people this time, they just hope that such a nightmare trip can be forgotten as soon as possible.

The convoy fleet pursued them all the way.

They fought from Kiti to the vicinity of Crete, and then pursued him from the Aegean Sea to the Adriatic Sea. Crassus, who fled in panic, had nearly thirty warships left, and in the end he only had only one following him.

Three lonely warships were left, and their miserable condition made people shed tears when they saw it.

What made the Romans even more desperate than losing many battleships was that Crassus, the commander of the great fleet, fell ill after suffering successive major blows. Finally, under the pressure of internal and external troubles, he coughed up blood and died -
Chapter completed!
