MTL - Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The sailors quickly withdrew the wooden oars inwards, and the opponent’s warships were also well-trained to withdraw their oars in time. The two warships almost passed by, and even the Cypriot sailors could clearly see through the narrow hatch. The sailors of the enemy ship looked indifferent and confident, and many of them even had a mocking smile.

I'm about to die, what's to be proud of! ...The Cypriot sailors thought warily.

With a sound of "bang!", the 12-meter-long suspension bridge was smashed down and nailed to the deck of the Cypriot warship. The forward Cypriot warship suddenly added a heavy burden and quickly came to a standstill. The infantry of the Dionian fleet quickly passed the suspension bridge and slammed into the enemy ship.

At this moment, another Cypriot warship in parallel in the double-column formation had already turned a small bend and rushed towards the hull of the Crow warship that was already immobile.

Facing this dangerous situation, the Dionian sailors were still calm. Under the command of the captain, facing the immediate collision, they used the fixed suspension bridge as the fulcrum and tried their best to deflect the entire warship slightly. , So that the hull does not face the enemy ship's collision angle vertically, but has a certain deflection angle. It seems that this effort seems to be in vain, because according to past experience, this degree of violent collision can still make the war The ship suffered considerable damage, but--

"Peng!" After a loud noise, the three warships were shaking violently at the same time. However, the Cypriot crew on the deck stared in surprise: The Dionian Raven was hit by their warship. The part is only sunken inward into a small pit, not broken into a big gap.

It turns out that this crow warship is an iron ship!

Over the years, through the full cooperation of the Dionian Academy, the Turri Shipyard, and the Ironwork Workshop, repeated experiments have been carried out. The special iron skin on the weak hull of the Raven warship has made the warship resistant. The impact capability is greatly enhanced, and at the same time the floating balance ability of the warship on the sea is preserved, that is, the sailing speed is slower.

Since the entire warship was painted in black paint, people who didn’t know the inside didn’t know the special nature of this warship. Therefore, the Cypriot crew saw that the Dionian ship was safe and sound under such a violent collision. be surprised.

The Dionian crew breathed a sigh of relief. Although the iron ship has been tested many times in normal training, this is the first time it has been used in actual combat, and it clearly did not live up to their expectations.

At this moment, the fast warship hiding behind the iron ship rushed up like a ghost, and swiftly ran into the enemy ship that was still crowded with the raven warship.

The Cypriot crew, who had no time to dodge, could only hope for a miracle like the Crow Warship just now, but there was no... the sea water poured into the bottom tank through the cracked gap...

At the same time, after the infantry of the fleet rushed onto another Cypriot warship, they did not enter the cabin, but killed the crew and helmsman on the deck and completely destroyed the rudder, and then quickly returned to the Raven Warship. Unplug the suspension bridge.

The Cypriot warship that lost its rudder completely lost its ability to steer flexibly and became a target for enemy ships. The best way to avoid being sunk is to exit the battlefield.

When Yaritaka led the main force of the Persian fleet to the vicinity of the battlefield, he was surprised to find that the Cypriot warships were gathering together, waiting for his arrival.

Soon he knew the reason: the Dionian fleet in the Gulf was not only strong in warships, but also with peculiar tactics and strong defensive capabilities. The Cyprus fleet, which had slightly more warships than the opponent, not only did not have the upper hand in the attack, but also After damaging more than a dozen warships, no great results were achieved. The morale of the crew was hit and they had to retreat temporarily to wait for reinforcements.

Although the combat effectiveness of this Dionian fleet is surprising, Yalithaka, as the commander of the Persian fleet, was delighted by the small setbacks suffered by the Cypriots who did not obey the orders. He believed that this was just an improvement. Great opportunity for prestige in the fleet.

After listening to the fighting process of the Cypriots in detail, he still decided to adopt a double-column offensive formation, but gave up the tactics of the Cypriots focusing on the offensive side. Instead, he took advantage of the huge advantage of more than twice the number of warships on the other side. Launch an offensive, trying to stretch the defense of the Dionia fleet.

The soldiers of the Dionian regiment high on the beach saw countless Persian warships spread out like a huge fishing net on the sea in the distance, posing aggressively with a pair of Dai who would shrink the regiment into a ball. The posture of the Onia fleet completely netted, all sweating for the safety of the fleet.

At the center of the storm, Sekerian laughed calmly: "The Persian fleet is finally overwhelmed by the whole army, great! These timid Persian servants will soon know that the Dionian fleet is powerful. Woo!"

"...Woo!...Woo!..." Along with the loud bugle sound, three red flags were raised on the main mast of the Dionian flagship, and they were deployed in the air.

Fight to the end! ! ! …Every crew member who had been sent by the captain looked at the surging enemy ship ahead, and calmly began to hum Hades carols in a low voice…

……………………………………………………

When the dense fog on the sea cleared and the sky was bright, Midolades immediately discovered that the situation was not right. Although it was impossible to know the specific position of the fleet, the sunrise that should have appeared diagonally in front of the fleet appeared. After being obliquely to the right, it has obviously deviated greatly from the course.

He finally gathered the warships and cargo ships scattered nearby, and then dispatched the clippers to search in the direction of the sun, and at the same time let the entire fleet sail towards the sun.

During the voyage, he gathered some scattered warships and troop carriers, and the fleet he led gradually had the first, second, fifth, and part of the second squadron. Ships, as well as the 3rd Squadron of the First Fleet, the 4th Squadron, the 5th Squadron, and some of the 6th Squadron warships, totaling more than 700 ships, in addition to nearly 400 troop carriers... For a mixed fleet, Midolades also increased the distance between the ships, which doubled the area of ​​the entire fleet and expanded outward. It was his move that finally made the Clippers sent by Sekerian Found them.

A few hours later, Midolades led the fleet to the bay where the Dionian army had landed, and saw countless Persian warships charging and maneuvering around somewhere near the sea, like a shelter from the sky. The Japanese vultures are sharing their food, and there is almost no sight of the Dionian ship.

Although Midolades was desperate, he did not have the urge to charge immediately. He moved the troop carrier away temporarily, and let all the warships fan out in front of the Persian fleet, and then used the fast warship in front, The "Gypsophila" formation behind the crow warship launched a charge.

The flagship that Yalitaka was riding in had been coordinating and commanding the battle in the rear. After arduous battles, the Persian fleet finally broke through the defenses of the Dionian fleet, dispersed its formation, and was preparing to smash it completely. At that time, he received an urgent notification from the Clippers: A larger fleet of Dionia is approaching fast!

The news immediately extinguished Yalithaka’s enthusiasm for the glory of victory. His only idea at this time was to make the fleet retreat immediately, but the warships that had been scattered across the vast coastal waters and were in battle, were shocked. He couldn't receive his order quickly.

But the newly arrived Dionia fleet rushed towards its prey like a giant eagle with spread wings amid the loud bugle sound.

After a long period of hard fighting, the Persian fleet was damaged, the sailors were exhausted, the strength was scattered, and it was out of formation; while the Dionian fleet led by Midolades had a long journey and the crew was relatively exhausted, but it saved the comrades and defeated the enemy. Their belief in the spirit makes them like a rainbow, and the invincible sky star formation makes them more powerful.

Therefore, the Persian fleet was almost defeated and fled in all directions, and the Dionian ships seized the victory and pursued them.

What is even more unfortunate is that the Persian fleet encountered the Third Dionian Fleet, where the **** fleet was coming, during the process of fleeing south. As a result, under the front and back attack, the losses were even more severe...

Midolades jumped off the ship, dripped into the sea, and walked onto the beach.

At this time, the beach was full of Dionian soldiers who landed. Under the yelling of the team officer, one squad, one detachment assembled, and began to march toward the camp that the Dionian soldiers who landed earlier were building.

The destination of Midolades is the same as theirs, because of his conspicuous commander helmet, UU reading www. Soldiers who knew or didn't know uukahnshu.com met him and saluted him respectfully.

In normal times, he would smile and greet him, but now he was anxious and quickly walked into the makeshift medical camp tent without seeing him.

No one saluted him here. The doctors and nurses were busy rescuing the wounded.

The soldiers of the Dionian Legion who landed did not fight with the Cypriots. The wounded were all from the Dionian fleet that had just ended the battle.

Midolades stopped a soldier who was helping to clean up the dirt and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Secorian?"

The soldier glanced at him, hurriedly pointed to the front, and said, "It's... in the innermost."

It is said to be the innermost, but it is actually on the other side of the tent. In order to ensure the air circulation, the convenience of rescue and the recovery of the patient, this kind of medical camp has multiple tents. Beside a tabernacle, the tabernacle opened a small opening, and the sun was projected in and hit Sekrian's body. With this light, two nurses were carefully cleaning his wounds.
