"Bump into it! Their flagship doesn't even have ramming angles, just with this slightly larger size? Going head-to-head with us? The Admiral of the Genoese fleet sneered, as if he had imagined the destruction of Francisco's ship.

"Lord Admiral, are they really crazy? At this distance, they are still accelerating, and they will not be able to avoid our impact after a while. The sailor on the side wondered, "That's Francisco and Rissar!" Famous admirals in the entire Mediterranean! They couldn't have made such a low-level mistake! ”

"Horses stumble, men stumble. Frank. Once we have defeated the Empire's hard-earned fleet, the Venetians will be able to rewind their Aegean trade network. What belongs to Genoa, be sure to let them come back! ”

"Wait...... Something is wrong......"

"Lord Admiral! They're turning! "At this distance, the sailors on the Genoese flagship could see the actions of the Ebius Radiance clearly.

"They're scared! Catch up! ”

The Genoese flagship had already raised its ramming angle, and the balance of the ship had been affected, so naturally it could no longer turn quickly, but unlike the Ebius-Radiance, this kind of bulky impact could easily be dodged by taking advantage of the hull's maneuverability. Francisco did this for one purpose - to bring the distance between the two ships closer, so that he could ensure that only one salvo of broadside guns would be needed to bury the flagship of the Genoese under Penicius. The Genoese were too aggressive, causing the flagship to break away from the frigate, and the Ebius Radiance had enough time to destroy the Genoese flagship.

The Genoese Admiral was lamenting that the collision had not hit, but he noticed that the Ebius Radiance, which was sailing sideways, suddenly opened its outer deck. And below the deck, there are dozens of dark holes.

"That's ...... What the? ”

The governor of Genoa had no chance to react. Dozens of shipborne guns, fired at this distance, unless the bore is blown up, there will definitely not be a single shell missed!

Countless shells were poured on only one thin deck, and the results were already obvious.

"Lord Admiral! Lord Admiral! They have artillery hidden under their decks! Our ship is sinking! ”

Seaman Frank used his arm to disperse the billowing smoke and dust from the cannon fire, and after a long time, he realized that the Admiral, who had just stood beside him and commanded Ruoding, had been shot in the middle of the neck by a stray arrow from the Imperial Navy, and lost his breath.

The Genoese flagship, apparently having received a devastating blow, is rapidly losing altitude. And the most terrifying thing is that because the ship sank too fast, a huge whirlpool was formed in the sea, and even if you jump into the sea to survive at this time, you will be quickly swept into the whirlpool and then taken to the bottom of the sea to suffocate to death. However, a large number of Genoese who were panicked had lost their way. In order to avoid the whirlpool formed by the sinking ship and to prevent a head-on clash with the other Genoese frigates, the Ebius Radiance had already turned around and left this sea, and the Genoese navy could only plunge headlong into the bottomless ocean.

"It's a pity, a piece of life. God is blessed that these people will not be able to enter heaven, and they will no longer be cattle and horses for the merchants. Francisco sighed, he had done this kind of thing countless times, and his hands were stained with all kinds of blood, but he was afraid that this sin would not be washed away by the third generation.

"Rissar, I'll take over the rest of the command. Don't forget, do your best to ensure the integrity of our fleet, and not give priority to pursuit. We have already won a decisive victory, and in a short time, the Genoese should be able to settle down......"

"I know, Admiral, rest assured."

……

"Your Majesty John, the battle report of the Battle of Penicius in Constantinople CC." As soon as the attendant entered the hall, two dark red lights streaked across his head.

After only three weeks, the two falcons of Lilac and Gooseberry were much fuller, especially the wings. The careful care of the falconers makes their wings bloom with a dazzling luster, their eyes are sharp and sensitive, and their movements are extremely fast. It is indeed the bloodline of the rarest and purest Pontic falcon in the Pontus Mountains.

The two falcons, apparently not satisfied with the half-dead food sent by the falconers, would plunge into the mountains of Epirus every morning to complete their hunt.

"Leave it aside. I'll see later. ”

"Brother, aren't you curious, what kind of results will Francisco achieve?"

"When you say that, you're sure that Francisco will win. Why rush to see things that already know the results? ”

Despite saying this, John obeyed Sophia's wishes and unfolded the battle report. The golden cable envelope above has proven that this is a new great victory for the Empire. I'm afraid Constantinople had already celebrated a week earlier, but it was only then that it was sent to Combrigne.

"This kind of key battle report, the transmission is still a little slow, and I should find a way to ...... in a few days."

After the battle report was spread, Rao already knew the result, and John was still shaken by the dazzling numbers.

"The Genoese fleet consisted of three ships, all thirty-six ships went into battle, seven including the flagship were sunk, two were paralyzed and captured, and twelve were seriously or lightly wounded, and they were evacuated in disarray. There were two Imperial fleets, all 26 ships went into battle, two were sunk, and nine were seriously damaged. ”

"Gone?" Hearing John's silence for a long time, Sophia raised her head curiously, "That's all?" ”

"There's nothing nutritious for the rest, but you can watch it if you like. They all praised the excellent command of Admirals Francisco and Rissar, and the heroic battles of the imperial soldiers. Maybe my father was inspired by it and added it temporarily. ”

"Nearly one-third of the ships are inferior in numbers, and with this result, Francisco's attainments in naval command are indeed extraordinary."

"Well, this father said that he gave Francisco the honorary title of Admiral of the Navy, and also gave him some money." John threw the battle report aside with no interest, "That's the benefit of the equipment advantage. The Genoese were constantly suppressed by Venice, and the leading position of the navy long ceased to exist, but they still felt that the empire was just a soft-footed shrimp a few years ago that could be bullied casually, which was an eye-opener for those Westerners. They were still convinced of the weakness of the Roman Empire......"

"What's wrong with that, it just makes them pay more attention to what we're doing. When the time comes for a decisive battle with the Ottomans, they may still secretly come to restrain us. Sophia said helplessly, "For the sake of profit, they even do it to blasphemy, what else do they dare not do?" ”
