But such a risky approach also put them in a dangerous situation, because the enemy ship did not capsize, and order was quickly restored.

Elias could see infantry armed with spears pouring out of the decks of enemy ships.

The enemy is going to jump to the gang! Ilias's heart tightened, and the words that the commander of the Sicilian fleet, Seclian, often said to them during training: "The army often says that our navy only knows how to fight alone, and does not know what cooperation is...... They simply don't understand! If there is no captain, helmsman, sailor, lookout in a warship...... The close cooperation and skillful control of the warship can defeat the enemy!

And for a fleet, the raven ship is the bear, which marches forward bravely, rampage, and clears all obstacles; The fast three-layer oared warship is a wolf, it moves quickly and agilely, and when it sees an opportunity, it will give the enemy ship a fierce ram; The clipper is our horse, delivering all kinds of orders and messages in a timely manner...... All the ships must work closely together to kill the enemy with all their might to ensure victory in a naval battle!

And in my fleet, I have a higher demand. On the battlefield, the ships must help each other and make up for each other's mistakes, and if anyone sees that their ship is in trouble and does not come to the rescue, I know afterwards, and I, Sekrian, can assure the captain of this ship that he can't even be a citizen of Dionia! ……”

"Full speed ahead! Target - the hull of the four-layer oared enemy ship in front right! Prepare to ram! Elias roared through gritted teeth.

"Charge speed!" The boatswain immediately shouted.

The piper puffed up his chest again, puffed out his cheeks, and played without stopping.

Despite their exhaustion, the faces of the sailors were a mixture of nervousness and excitement: we were going to sink that huge warship!

Again, they pushed the oars with their somewhat numb hands.

The speed of the warship is soaring.

Ilias's eyes magnified sharply as he watched the enemy ship in front of him, and he shouted, "Impact!!" "Hurriedly hugging the mast with his arms.

When the sailors in the cabin heard the warning, they immediately hung up their oars, leaned down, and grasped the brass rings on the planks on either side of the seats with both hands.

Amid the exclamations of the enemy on the four-layer oared warship, the warship slammed into its hull viciously.

There was a loud "bang", the hull of the ship shook violently, and the Carthaginian infantry who were standing on the deck about to jump to the other side of the Dionian warship were pushed by a huge force, and many of them fell directly into the sea.

The bronze ramming horns of the fast warship smashed through the planks of the side of the enemy ship, but it failed to further open the gap, because there was still a layer of planks inside, although it was broken, but it did not break, and the sea water could only penetrate in little by little, but it stopped the fast warship from advancing.

Seeing this, Elias immediately shouted, "Stand back!" Hurry back! ……”

He must disengage from the enemy ship while the enemy on the ship is still panicked and ram again, otherwise he will be in trouble like a teammate on the other side.

But the Carthaginians reacted quickly, and the arrows flew down just as the Ionian sailors began to paddle backwards.

The distance was too close, and Elias didn't have time to dodge, and he hit three arrows in a row, and immediately snorted, fell into the cabin, and was held up by the boatswain in time.

There were also sailors with arrows in the cabin, and the screams made the sailors a little confused.

"Don't panic! Let's paddle back! Piper! ......," the sailor roared loudly.

"Tick! Backbite! Backbite! ......" The high-pitched voice of the double-pipe flute drowned out the screams and calmed the sailors.

Just as they began to paddle, they heard another loud exclamation from the enemy ship in front of them, followed by a loud "boom", and the enemy ship shook again, and the force was transmitted to the body of the Dionian warship that was adjacent to it, and the sailors staggered and became a mess.

Ilias woke up in a tremor, and it turned out that he, as the captain of the warship, was wearing leather armor according to the regulations, and the two arrows on his chest were blocked by leather armor, but he had suffered some skin wounds, but his arm was pierced by arrows, and he fainted in pain.

"It happened...... What's up? He asked bitterly.

"It's the Raven Ship! It hit the enemy ship in the head! The lookout slid down from the mast and reported back to him.

"Captain! The enemy ship is broken! It's flooded! The lookout of the foremast also ran in and said excitedly.

It turned out that both sides of the Carthaginian four-layer oared warship were struck by the fast warship, and were caught and unable to move, and then it was slammed into its bow by the raven warship, and the strong reaction force forced the originally somewhat cracked hull to make close contact with the warship of Ilias again, and in the muffled sound of "quack", the bronze ramming horns pierced into the bilge......

The Carthaginian sailors fled in panic.

"Quick! Fast! Go back! ......," Ilias shouted urgently.

While the sailors were paddling, several Carthaginian soldiers had already jumped onto the deck in panic.

After closing the distance from the enemy ships, Ilias commanded the sailors to pick up the oars and, taking advantage of the large number of people, drove the Carthaginians out of the sea.

At this time, Ilias breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm.

The boatswain rushed over and sharpened the shaft of the arrow from his left arm with a dagger, and as for the arrow, he had to wait until the end of the war to go ashore and let the medical battalion dig it up.

At this time, the enemy ship in front of it had tilted to the left, and the crew jumped into the sea like dumplings......

Seeing this, Elias sighed, "This is indeed a good ship!" But not very suitable for combat ......"

"Captain, look!" The boatswain reminded.

Ilias turned his head to look, only to see a fast three-sculled warship round from the rear of the enemy ship and head straight for him.

Elias quickly saw the painted numbers on the side of the other ship, and the people on the deck saluting him.

Ilias immediately laughed and said, "Who I said was so bold, it turned out to be him!" ”

Illias, enduring the pain, raised his right hand, and returned the salute.

At this moment, the Raven Warship also turned, and its captain stood on the deck, also saluting......

Behind the three Dionian warships, half of the Carthaginian four-sculled warship had sunk into the sea, and there were many struggling crew members floating on the surface......

Although the three captains did not shout, their excitement was well in their hearts: they had not discussed beforehand, but they had worked together to sink the behemoth, which was a great honor!

The three ships met only once, and soon each looked for the next target......

………………………………………

The ships of the First Fleet of Dioenia rushed forward and attacked the Carthaginian fleet fiercely, the two sides caught each other, the First Fleet had the advantage, and after only more than ten minutes, they broke through the column of the front fleet of Carthage, forcing the Iberian fleet to join the battle, but this previously defeated fleet faced the attack of the Dionian warships, its performance was even more unbearable.

Half an hour later, the ships at the forefront of the First Fleet of Dionyas had already rushed out of the Carthaginian formation, directly towards the flotilla not far behind.

The fleet, laden with food and soldiers, consisted of 300 ships, making it impossible for the port of Selinus to accommodate all of it for a short time, so the fleet was lined up outside the port.

Although the laborers of the harbor were speeding up due to the weather, they did not expect the Dionian warship to rush so quickly, which immediately frightened the various shipowners in the fleet, and they panicked and ordered the sailors to sail the ship into the harbor immediately to avoid the enemy's attack.

As a result, the entire fleet was thrown into chaos, and ships rushed into it, resulting in congestion outside the port, and even in the midst of the collision, some ships capsized......

Anobas, who was located behind the flanks of the ship, was shocked when he received the urgent report from the clippers, he had left enough ships in front of the formation, thinking that he had enough time to deal with the Dionian fleet, but he did not expect that in less than an hour, he was completely at a disadvantage.

He did not rebuke the incompetence of the forward fleet and the Iberian fleet, for on the flanks the middle fleet also felt the pressure of the Ionian attack, although on this side he led a little more ships than the other side seemed.

Although the Dionian Second Fleet was ordered to defend the flanks, Flarios still adopted offensive tactics.

The sheer size of the Diosaurus's flagship made the Dionian ships shy away from it, and because of its slow speed and clumsy turning, it could not catch up with the enemy ships, and did not participate in the fight at all, but gradually became a safe area in the ship's formation.

Standing on the roof of the ship, Anobus condescendingly observed the battle around him, and he was shocked to find that the cooperation between the Dionian Raven and a smaller, but fast, three-layer oared warship made the Carthaginian warship suffer a lot.

Therefore, where would he dare to send warships to rescue the convoy in the harbor at this time. On the contrary, after a painful decision, he decided that simply letting the fleet pass the forces of the Dionian fleet would not only reduce the pressure on the battlefield, but also facilitate the counterattack of the Carthaginian fleet. As for worrying about the complaints of the Carthaginian shipowners against him afterwards, he must first ensure that he wins this naval battle, otherwise the Senate will punish him for defeat.

He simply ignored the fleet's pleas for help.

"General, there's a ship over there that has been rammed and sunk!" The lookout at the top of the mast shouted.

Anobus frowned, there was no response, he didn't plan to let the ship go there again, the two-headed dragon had already rescued quite a few sailors, and now the ship was full of people, it was simply a refuge.

The war is worrisome! He sighed, feeling a chill on his body.

Cold? He was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the sea, where the water was slight.

The wind is blowing! And it's a west wind! He was in ecstasy.

It's windier! Bigger is better! Anlobas thought expectantly in her heart.

As if in response to his words, the slight ripple of the sea soon turned into waves, and wave after wave, and it was not long before the entire massive double-headed dragon ship began to rise and fall with the surface of the sea...... ()
