In the boxing ring.

Opponents of different levels are impossible to meet each other, but in the real battlefield, there is no such rule. However, in this encounter in the Peloponnese, the pirate Pissus faced the sailor Aris. These two inconspicuous characters accidentally became the fuse of a sea battle.

Greer's jealousy forced Pixius to venture closer to the merchant ship. When the small oar boat leaned on the merchant ship tremblingly, Aris on the mast finally gave up. With a hoarse voice, he decided not to rely on others anymore.

"That fat man Dikar doesn't believe me. This time, I, Aris, will prove it once, and show you stupid people!"

After struggling to break free from the rope tied to his legs, Aris shook with a short blade in one hand and a diagonally supported the wooden board in the cabin with the other, staring at the place where the slight sound had just been made. With the unwillingness to contempt for his companions, the thin sailor's chest was cold and fighting spirit was cold.

The outer edge of the merchant ship.

A dark shadow is rising slowly.

Pirate Pixius climbed a few steps along the outer edge of the merchant ship. The hull, which was wet by the waves, was extremely slippery and almost caused him to fall into the sea. Due to his thinness, Pixius always had a natural advantage in this kind of reconnaissance and sneak attacks, which was why Greer handed over the primary task to him.

The strings of the merchant ship were right in front of him. With just one more force, he could overturn the merchant ship. Pius took a long breath and swung upwards with force. His body suddenly swept across the deck of the merchant ship.

"Dong!"

A muffled shout rang out.

Pixius' body fell heavily on the ship armor, but before he could feel a sense of coldness in his chest, he felt a sudden sensation in his chest. Then a severe pain came.

"Uh, I'm hit by a knife. Damn Grale, I'm fooled." Pixius widened his eyes. With the hazy moonlight in the sky, he saw a guy as thin as a monkey, pressing against the shadow of the ship's side, and in his hand was holding a bright short blade.

"Go to die. bastard. Go over there, remember that the person who killed you is named Aris, the great hero, the invincible Aris." As Pius's mind gradually blurred, Aris's hoarse shouting gradually became lowered.

Just now, when Piushes fell down, he pressed on Aris' body. As the hard bones collided with each other, three ribs broke in Arris' chest. Now he felt the huge exclamation caused by blood loss. Fortunately, at this time, Dikar and others who heard the wrong voice finally got up.

"Pirates. If you have pirates, hurry up and light up the torch." On the merchant ship, shouting sounded, lighting up the fire on the dark sea, although it would reveal your whereabouts. But since the pirates have already touched it, the pirates are clearly in the direction of the merchant ship team. It would be useless to cover it up. Instead, it would be better to light up the nearby sea and discover where the pirates are early.

The remaining three pirates on the small oar boat were waiting for Pius to put down the rope, but to their disappointment, they were not waiting for the rope, but fell down one by one wooden barrel. The waves swelled around and overturned the small oar boat. The three of them struggled in the sea for a while and then they never saw any trace again.

Compared with the ruthlessness of the sea, the pirates are just clowns. Although the path-seeking pieces sent by Greer did not achieve any great results, all this is enough for the pirates who are determined to seize the ship.

In the flames, the pirate skeleton ship was only half a mile away from the merchant ship. Compared with the speed of the two sides, the pirate ship in the empty capsule was much faster than the heavy merchant ship. In desperation, in order to save his life, Dikar ordered the sailors to paddle and row to speed up the speed, and on the other hand, he desperately threw away the wine barrels to the rear.

Round wooden barrels float on the sea surface irregularly, just like time bombs. Although they will not explode, for wooden ships moving at high speed, every collision may cause water leakage at the bottom of the ship, which may bring serious impacts of overwhelming the sea.

Grell was furious.

The Greeks' death-lost wealthy man cut off his arm, which made him anxious and heartbroken. The pirate group is not as good as the army, and there is no strict discipline. He, the boss, was only able to become a leader because his strength is stronger than other stocks. Every barrel of wine floating in the sea is valuable gold coins, and Greer could not stop the thieves from the underhanded's desire for wealth.

Chase and escape all the way.

The merchant ships in Dikar were accelerating. After giving up the constraints of wealth, the sailors who burst out with the desire to survive used their strength to make them motivated. Their heart was even more motivated. Aris, a companion they looked down upon, who was laughed at by them during the day, looked at their hands with a faint man who was now lying quietly on the deck, with his eyes wide open, just like when he was still alive.

"Aris, brother, don't worry, we believe this time. If you really speak, we must believe it is true?" The big man William was full of tears, and he was sobbing while paddling hard.

Aris and he were fellow countrymen who came out of Athens together. Over the years, William has repeatedly bullied this weak partner with his height and strength, but today he realized that he has always regarded the clever and clever Aris as his brother in his heart over the years.

——.

Crete.

Under the reflection of the rising sun, it is emitting a golden light. This large island located in the center of the Aegean Sea is now a free trade port. Not only caravans from the caravans, but also pirates often visit. Of course, it is definitely impossible to blatantly drive skeleton flag ships into the port.

The pursuit on the sea has lasted for an hour, and there is only a distance between Greer's pirate ship and Dikar's merchant ship.

"Damn it, brothers, break down and hook them up." Grell roared repeatedly. The pursuit lasted too long, which made him feel a little uneasy while exhausted.

Why?

The process was still too smooth.

This night battle took place on the sea near Greece. If it were normal, at least the local search ship responsible for the guards along the coastline would come to see the situation, but when I recalled, Greer did not find that even a fishing boat appeared around. The reason for this is of course probably that the fishing boat was afraid of running away after seeing the skeleton flag, but there might be another possibility, that is, the situation has changed.

The heavy anchor is hung with the whistling sound of wind and falls down in a parabola. The specially made anchor on the pirate ship is not large in size. Its main function is to be used by pirates to hook the target ship at close range and create conditions for the subsequent string-catching battle.

However, due to the speed gap, the pirates failed to pull the merchant ships after several consecutive trials. Seeing the port getting closer, Grayer was even more anxious.

"I don't care. After this transaction, I will return to the Roman fleet. Who likes to take this skeleton flag?" Greer, who was ruthless, did not care about everything. Although the life of the pirate leader was free, it was shameful after all. Only by returning to the fleet of Great Rome was what Greer hoped most.

——.

In the shadow of the port.

The five three-ocket warships lined up in a row, and the largest ship located in a prominent position in the center. It is the ship of Qin general Gan Yong. The head of this three-ocket ship is equipped with an iron collision. Relying on speed and maneuverability, the crash hammer can quickly hit the sides of the enemy ship. The enemy ship with a weak flank hull has almost no power to fight back in front of the iron.

The emergence of the three-oar boat was invented by the Romans during the Second Punic War between Carthage and Rome. Subsequently, this three-oar boat had more than 170 rowers, sailors, sailors, and helmsmen. In addition, there were archers and spearmen who were specialized in fighting. Of course, the least one was the commander of the ship.

When the Qin army formed a new naval fleet, Greek craftsmen built this classic naval warship based on their own experience. For this warship that was very different from the Eastern Tower Ship, it effectively avoided the problem of excessive weight and insufficient stability on the upper layer of the hull. The lower layer of the oarsman was only a little above the waterline.

Although the Qin soldiers could not understand it at the beginning, as the training deepened, they also gained a deeper understanding of the advanced nature of this warship.

Crash.

It is equivalent to a collision angle, which can tear the fragile hull of the enemy ship in an instant.

The three-layer paddler's force can ensure the stability of manpower manipulation. The Mediterranean area is no better than the Yellow Sea in China. It is an inland sea. Hurricanes only occur in a fixed season every year. Most of the time, the sailing of ships depends on manpower to advance. The more paddlers, the faster the ship is.

However, different traces from the East can be found on these five sea ships. First of all, the iron fence represents the bronze fence. This change directly saves a lot of money. Compared with the expensiveness of bronze, the Daqin army, which is in the leading position in wrought iron craftsmanship, is naturally more fond of iron.

In terms of protection of the flank body, Qin craftsmen used layers of iron instead of olive oil. Although this change slightly increased the weight of the ship, there was a fundamental change in the protection impact. With the same collision, the Qin army warships were more tenacious than the shirtless wooden ships.

In addition, the biggest change actually comes from the differences in combat troops. The Tianlei soldiers with ten people and one team, the mechanical crossbow soldiers with twenty people and two teams, and thirty Kong Wu's powerful melee sword and shield soldiers formed the main force of the Qin army's warships.

Pirate ship enters port.

Due to the lengthening of the pursuit route, Greer's fleet was as far away as a nautical mile. When his flagship chased the merchant ship into the port of Crete, the pirate ship dragged at the end was still slowly salvaging the wine barrels.

"attack!"

Amid Gan Yong's loud shouts, the soldiers of the Qin Navy, who had been suppressed for a whole year, shouted together. Over the past year, they have been sleeping in the open and enduring the sea breeze and sun exposure. What is the purpose of? The purpose is to arrive this day of war.

"kill!"

The war drums sounded in an instant, and the rigorous discipline of the Qin army ensured the integrity of the drums. While Ganyong's main fleet attacked, it deviated to Hu Zhe at both ends of the island, Luanbu's two squadrons, one left and one right, were in the shape of scissors to block the gap of the harbor that was only wider than three ships in parallel to pass through.

This interception allowed Greer's pirate fleet to follow him and six left on the sea, and they were divided into two large pieces. If the pirate group was a regular army with strict discipline and unified orders, the six outer warships behind would make efforts to open the gap without any questions and rescue their companions who were besieged in the port, but this possibility was basically unlikely in Greer's opinion.

The so-called pirates are just a combination of interests. The reason why they recognize Greer, the boss, is because he has the greatest strength and has the support of the Romans in selling stolen goods, which is more convenient and trustworthy than other groups. Gan Yong obviously took this out and started at the most critical point.

The Qin army's three-oared boat rushed straight at a fast speed, and the iron flank was aimed at Greer's flagship flank. This incident shocked Greer, the experienced pirate, into a cold sweat.

"Quick, stop the enemy ship." Greer whispered the flag at the companion ship he followed.

Seeing the flagship's order, the pirate single-layer paddle boat followed behind reluctantly turned around, trying to meet and help the boss block the Qin army's warship.

"Peng!"

The loud noise rang out in the collision between the two ships. After a crisp squeak, the pirate ship was torn into two pieces by the Qin army's iron bars. The thieves on the ship all fell into the sea, unable to stand even and fell into the sea.

This time the impact.

Greer's face changed drastically when he saw this scene not far away. The Qin army's warship had three layers of oar protection and its hull was taller. He saw all these, but he did not take this seriously. Although the key to naval battle was the warship, the most important thing was to have experienced sailors.

At this point, Grail did not believe that the Qin people could beat the sea elites under his command just by the several thrusts in the Troy port. But the scene in front of him could not help but have some doubts. The shouts of their companions who were struggling in the sea made them realize and quickly put down their small oars to rescue them.

"Avoid the opponent's impact, lean on it, and rob their ship." Greer roared, throwing a javelin with great force. The powerful gun body pointed diagonally at the general on the enemy's flagship with the whistling wind.

"The boss is mighty."

The power of a shot made Greer proud. The spearhead of this javelin was a bronze spearhead wrapped in bronze. Under the action of extra force, it could pierce the wooden board on the ship, and the human body could not resist it. While excited, Greer had already imagined the physical scene of the javelin strung up the Qin generals in his mind.

On the Qin army's flagship, two close guards were snatching a step forward, lifting the iron shield high, trying to block the sharpness of the javelin. Greer was very confident which one of the Qin craftsmen is better than the brute force of Westerners, while Gan Yong was also full of confidence on the Qin army.
