As soon as he gave the order, he asked the flagship to turn around and speed up against the Dionian fleet as an example.

When the surrounding warships saw it, they quickly made corresponding moves, but for the Carthaginian warships that were far away, they first heard the retreating trumpet, and soon changed to the trumpet of attacking, and these two diametrically opposed orders puzzled them.

This is a newly formed fleet, although the vast majority of its crew members survived the storm of the previous Carthaginian fleet, but it has been reorganized after all, and the biggest problem is that despite Admika's strong opposition, with the support of the Senate, Anobus still mixed the survivors of the previous Carthaginian fleet and the Iberian fleet and assigned them to each new warship, so that all the warships were under the unified command of the naval commander, There is no longer any independent Iberian fleet.

So when the new fleet rushed into battle before it had been fully tempered, they had not yet developed good obedience to the new fleet commander (to the Iberian crew, Anobus was unfamiliar), and the usual patrols and voyages were not yet apparent, but in the moment of crisis, the problem was exposed: some warships were hesitant to carry out this later order.

And just when the Carthaginian fleet was not unified and chaotic because of the two orders, the attack of the 3rd Dionian fleet continued to show its power, the raven ships smashed open the shell of the circle like a hammer, and then rushed in the fast three-layer oared warships, their narrow hulls shuttled quickly in the narrow space inside the circle, as agile as swimming fish, but after discovering the fighters, they turned into fierce sharks, struggling the oars of enemy ships and damaging their hulls, It made the already somewhat chaotic Carthaginian ship formation even more chaotic......

At this point in the battle, some Carthaginian ships had not seen well and began to withdraw from the battlefield.

Speaking of the original 190 warships of the new Carthaginian fleet, after arriving in Sardinia, it was incorporated into the 40 warships that originally belonged to the Phoenician city-state of Sardinia, bringing the total number of warships to 230. If he rushes to the battlefield too early, the Dionian fleet, which has not yet entered the battle, is likely to meet the bad knowledge and escape early, resulting in little success), so the 110 ships he assigned to Admika are all Carthaginian ships, and the 40 Phoenician ships with weak combat effectiveness are incorporated into his fleet, he believes that in the case of great superiority, there is no need to worry about the combat effectiveness of Phoenician ships.

But the present situation was that the fleet led by Anobus was in a passive position, and in the face of the ferocious attack of the Dionian warships, several Phoenician warships chose to obey the last order of the flagship, and they retreated as if they were unheard of the order to attack that followed.

Their retreat also affected the morale of the nearby Phoenician warships, and they retreated one after another, causing the entire Carthaginian fleet to attack, not to mention attacking, and even the defense became difficult to maintain.

When Anobus learned about this through the lookout, he was so angry that he couldn't do anything about it.

"My lord, let's retreat quickly, if we don't leave, we won't be able to leave!" The captain eagerly persuaded him, because at this time there were Ionian warships on the sea on the left and right sides of the Carthaginian flagship, and the situation was slightly better because of the presence of Anobus himself in front of it, and if this development continued, the flagship would be cut off from the way back and besieged.

“…… Retreat......" Anobus said dejectedly, hiding his face and sitting down on the deck, completely afraid to face the fact that as a veteran admiral, in the case of a sudden enemy attack, he first hastily arranged the wrong formation, and then repeatedly changed the order, causing the battle that had been advantageous to turn into a rout......

…………………………………

"The enemy has retreated! The enemy has retreated! The lookout shouted excitedly above the mast.

Midorades' face was not relaxed, and he asked anxiously: "How far is the Carthaginian fleet in the rear from us?"

"It's only about three hundred meters!"

"Order all ships not to stop, and speed forward! Remember, don't stop! Midorades shouted.

"Captain, three green flags have been raised on the flagship!" The stern lookout of a raven warship at the head of the fleet shouted.

"What?! Green flag! The captain frowned, the language of the green flag navy is "accelerate forward" (when the Dionian Navy first formulated the flag, green represents spring, everything recovers, the glacier thaws, and rushes forward, and the opposite is the white flag, which represents retreat, and the Dionian Navy has no flag of surrender), which means that they want to let go of the Carthaginian warship in front of them that is panicking and passing in front of their bow, although they are unwilling, but the order must be obeyed, the captain sighed helplessly, and said: " Charge speed, straight forward! Unload the Raven Drawbridge! ”

All the warships of the 3rd Fleet were carrying out similar orders, causing the entire fleet to speed up again, which forced the Anobus fleet to speed up its flight, and even in the panic, in order to escape, they collided with each other from time to time.

When the Carthaginian ships, which had been slowed down by the collision, saw the rapidly approaching Dionian warship, they all burst into the dead. But a miracle happened, and the Dionian warship, as if it had not seen them, passed by them, and sailed ahead.

…………………………………

Admika regretted it.

He led 110 warships to ambush in the open sea on the orders of Anobas, and the crew steered the warships to toss in the wind and waves, and waited tremblingly for the Dionian fleet to take the bait, but after waiting for most of the day, the merchant ship acting as the decoy reported that the Dionian fleet had chased them halfway and returned.

Disillusioned, Admika informed the fleet to return and sent a clipper to investigate.

As a result, the Clippers returned: the Dionian fleet was intercepted by the fleet led by Anobas.

Ademika immediately turned from disappointment to excitement, and he ordered the fleet to speed up.

Sure enough, it didn't take long to see the Dionian fleet in front of him, but at this time he did not order the fleet to attack immediately, but asked the fleet to slow down its advance and form a formation at the same time.

The reason for this is that he has considerations: first, in the naval battle of Seeudium a few months ago, the Iberian fleet led by him had been defeated by the Dionian fleet, and he had some knowledge of the combat effectiveness of the Dionian fleet, and at this time, the Dionian fleet, which had just begun to engage the Anobas's fleet, was fully capable of dividing some of its ships and turning around to block his attack, causing large losses to the fleet he led.

Second, although he is now under the command of Anobas, he is not convinced, he hopes that the fleet under the command of Anobus will suffer more losses in this war, and his own losses will be very small, which will help his prestige in the new fleet and increase his right to speak.

Therefore, after Admika had all the ships spread out and formed a double column, he stood still, watching the development of the battle ahead, and at the same time being wary of the possible escape of the Dionian fleet.

But he never imagined that the commander of the Dionian fleet would be so decisive that he would ignore his threat and involve all the ships in the attack.

He didn't expect that the fleet under the command of Anobus would perform so poorly, and the battle only lasted about 10 minutes, and it was a little unsupportable.

After getting a general idea of the battle situation ahead through the lookouts, Admika had to give the order to attack immediately.

It took about seven or eight minutes for the Ademika fleet to reach the rear of the Dionian fleet from a standstill to a distance of nearly three miles, and in order to make the Anobus fleet try to entangle the other side, Admika also asked the flagship's trumpeters to blow the trumpets of the attack with maximum force.

But all efforts proved to be in vain in the end, and by the time they arrived at the battlefield, the Dionian fleet had already passed through the Carthaginian fleet and sailed at full speed into the distance, leaving only the damaged Carthaginian ships and the Carthaginian ships that had cut most of the sailors scattered on the sea, and many Carthaginian sailors floated on the sea and shouted for help to the fleet, which became an obstacle to the advance of Admira's fleet.

Of course, not all of the Dionian ships escaped in time, and seven or eight of the Dionian ships were either slowed down due to damage to their hulls, or had to wait longer because they failed to withdraw the fleet's infantry in time, or because the panicked enemy ships suddenly appeared in front of them and had to collide with them, so they did not rush out quickly...... In short, they had not yet been able to leave the battlefield, and were far behind the Dionian fleet.

The ships of the Admica's fleet pursued them, and the Dionian ships, seeing that they could not escape, turned around and responded, and even though they were heroic, the Carthaginians were quickly victorious by fighting more with less.

In the process, the Dionian Third Fleet did not turn around to rescue, but accelerated away.

Looking at the Dionian fleet, which had disappeared in the distance, and then at the devastated battlefield around him, Admika hesitated for a moment, and when it was no longer possible to catch up with the Dionian fleet, he decided to rescue his compatriots first.

At the same time, he also sent clippers to investigate the movements of the Dionian fleet, and also asked the clippers to find the escaped Carthaginian warships and return them to the fleet.
