In the cold sea breeze, Zhou Yan and his distant brother Zhou Yan stood side by side, they were only the most powerful of the five flagships that Li Ang had specially ordered from Great Qin, although it was only the same hull as the Water Dragon Yin, but it was equipped with a heavier trebuchet and ballista group, and its destructive power exceeded that of the Water Dragon Yin by nearly thirty percent.

"How, big brother, my 'Red Dragon' is good!" Zhou Yan laughed, as the Governor of the Tang Navy, he got the most powerful warship in history under his feet, and he was in a good mood.

"The destructive power is indeed strong, but speed is probably the only weakness." Zhou Wei looked at Zhou Yan, who was married to the princess of the Tang Kingdom beside him, and said this, but he was very envious in his heart, as the latest main warship of Great Qin, the long-range firepower of the red dragon surpassed that of the water dragon Yin too much, even if the speed was slow, it didn't matter, the powerful firepower on the ship alone was enough to shred any ship of the Romans.

"Now the size of our fleet is no worse than that of the Romans, their fire tactics are useless, and it doesn't matter if the speed is slow, as long as the firepower is strong enough, just solve them in one go before they get close." Zhou Yan looked at the large and small ships on the edge of the red dragon, and did not pay attention to the Roman navy at all.

Zhou Yan originally wanted to remind Zhou Yan, a distant brother from his own family, not to get too carried away, but then he thought about the shipbuilding level of the Romans, so he shut up, the Romans have been trying to build ships comparable to the capital ships of Daqin for so many years, but unfortunately due to the technical level, at most it will reach the scale of Daqin's second-class warships. There are now six Hydrogen-class capital ships in the entire Mediterranean, plus their respective fleets. The navy of the Romans is really not enough to see.

"Big brother, in this naval battle, do you want to kill more enemy ships than who will kill them?" As he approached the port, Zhou Yan looked at Zhou Yan and said, as a descendant of the Zhou family, he had an unusual enthusiasm for water warfare, and as a direct descendant, he also wanted to see how powerful the most outstanding person in the division was.

"Of course it's my water dragon. This is a battleship with the soul of an ancestor. No matter how strong your red dragon is. Nor is it an opponent. Zhou Wei smiled in the wind.

"The Soul of an Ancestor?" Looking at Zhou Yan's distant figure, Zhou Yan also laughed to himself, counting his own red dragon, all the sailors and soldiers can only be regarded as newcomers, compared with the veteran who has been fighting at sea for more than ten years on the ship of this distant brother, there is indeed no 'soul'.

Three days later, from the port of Jerusalem. The mixed fleet of Tang and Daqin slaughtered the sea frontier of the Romans in a mighty manner, and it was completely undeclared war, anyway, for Li Ang, since he was the enemy of life and death, why talk about any rules, and besides, the era in which he lived, for the Han people. All nations and nations other than their own are enemies. There is no need to consider what the impact is, everything is based on victory, even if it is like Zhou Yan. The children of a family like Zhou Wei didn't think there was anything wrong.

Although Zhou and Zhou Yan led the fleet with the intention of sneak attack, Constantine was ready to go to war at any time after realizing the terrible nature of Leon, even the navy, so that almost a day after Zhou Wei and Zhou Yandi entered the Romans' sea frontier, the Romans learned of their attack. However, for the Zhou and Zhou, who had sufficient supply ships and a large fleet, the Roman navy gathered to fight them was more in line with their hearts.

So Zhou Yan and Zhou Wei did not have the slightest intention of hiding their tracks, and swept all the way along the coastline of the Romans, and saw that one port was destroyed another, and the momentum was so great that it was like deliberately telling the Romans that we would fight all the way along your coastline.

After half a month of sweeping, Zhou and Zhou finally met the naval fleet of the Romans, and the Romans gathered almost all the ships, so the largest naval battle in history began, for the Romans, they must not lose this battle, because once they lost, they would lose the sea and be trapped on the European continent.

"What a good momentum!" Standing at the top of the red dragon's towering bridge, Zhou Yan looked at the Roman Navy all over the sea in the distance, the corners of his mouth raised a demonic smile, seeing that the Romans sent a three-oared high-speed ship to his side, Zhou Yan shook his head, he heard Zhou Yan mention, the Roman Navy's fire tactics are really not a little new.

"Send our fighting ships out." Zhou Yan and Zhou Wei issued an order at the same time, the fighting ship in their mouth is a light ship similar to the Roman three-oared high-speed ship, but in terms of hull structure is much stronger than the Romans' three-oared high-speed ship, and at the same time has not weak firepower, under the continuous improvement of the Mo family for one hundred and fifty years, Daqin's current combat ships can be equipped with ballistae This long-range weapon, although the Romans also have the technology of ballistas, but limited to national strength, they can't be equipped with ballistae and trebuchets on each ship like Daqin.

Looking down from the sky, you can see that on the wide sea level between the huge ship formations on the two sides, the Romans' three-pulp high-speed ships, braving the ballistas of the fighting ships in front, continue to make peace with the Zhou

In order to pursue high speed, the Romans' three-oared high-speed ships were absolutely incapable of being strong in the hull, and their weapons were mainly Greek fire, which could only be used in close combat, so they fell into passivity for a while, and the number of ships was constantly reduced.

"Send them on their way." Looking at the dozens of Roman three-oared high-speed ships that were lucky to approach, Zhou Yan's voice was cold, and then just a moment later, on the six giant ships that were lined up, nearly a thousand ballistas fired at the same time, and those three-oared high-speed ships sank into the sea under the rain-like stone projectiles.

Looking at the three-oared high-speed ships that had been completely wiped out by their own army, the generals on the main ships of the Roman Navy were all pale, and the sight of six giant ships of the Water Dragon Rank firing at the same time lingered in their minds like a nightmare. "Under that kind of fire, it's hard to get close." For a while, such a thought popped up in everyone's mind.

Rome's Admiral Belén looked at the six giant battleships in front of him and the secondary warships around him that were larger than his flagship, and the courage in his heart was fading rapidly, he no longer had the courage to fight with such a terrifying fleet, Rome's shipbuilding technology was too far behind Daqin, this could not be made up by numbers alone, and now it seemed that the number of the other party was not much less than his own.

"Let Pannin leave with the fleet." Looking at the sea in the distance, the huge fleet that began to approach, Belen looked at the adjutant beside him, no matter what, he had to keep the vitality of the Roman navy, and the ship could be rebuilt if it was gone, but those sailors and officers were not so easy to cultivate, it was he who overestimated his own strength, and he was naïve enough to compete with the giant ships of Daqin with the numerical superiority of the Roman navy, so he had to make up for it.

The flag was beaten out, and Pang Ning, who was being pulled by Belen, clenched his fists and was silent for a while after seeing it, he looked at the entourage beside him and said, "Inform the fleets and retreat with us." ”

"Oh, seeing that the situation is not good, are you going to escape?" Looking at the sudden change in the formation of the Roman navy, Zhou Yan on the red dragon muttered to himself, and then asked the adjutant to play the flag, and the whole team pursued at the maximum speed.

Nearly seventy percent of the Roman navy's fleet began to turn away, except for Belen's flagship and the nearby fleet did not move, but rushed at full speed towards the huge fleet that was pursuing in front, they were planning to abandon themselves to make their own brigade withdraw from the battlefield.

"It's a good commander, but it's a pity." After all, being able to judge the situation in such a short period of time, make the right decision and sacrifice oneself is not something that ordinary people can do, if it weren't for the fact that the shipbuilding technology of the Romans lagged behind Daqin for several generations, and there were no warships that could compete with them, I am afraid that if they really fight, they may not be able to please them, but this world is like this, and war never talks about fairness, and if you want to blame, blame the Romans and the Han people as enemies.

"Do you want to die together?" Looking at the Roman naval flagship rushing towards him at full speed, Zhou Yan sneered, he almost didn't have to think about it, he knew what the other party had in mind, since the firepower was inferior to the opponent, then he simply ran head-on, and used Greek fire to kill him at close range, and at the same time created a sea of fire on the sea level to block their speed, so as to buy time for their own ships to leave the battlefield.

"You seem to be underestimating our firepower, Romans?" Zhou Yan muttered to himself, issued a series of battle orders, Red Dragon and the remaining four giant ships belonging to the Tang State began to bombard the flagship where Belen was, and the Water Dragon Yin, the Red Dragon and the other four giant ships carried on the ballista and stone throwers carried by the Water Dragon Yin were longer and more powerful than the Water Dragon Yin.

Countless stone projectiles and boulders rained down on Belen's flagship in the sea breeze, "It's spectacular! Standing on the bridge, looking at the boulders and arquebuses that streaked across the sky, Belen muttered to himself, then looked at the lieutenant beside him, "Light the Greek fire." ”

"Yes, Marshal." The adjutant replied in a loud voice, without the slightest hesitation on his face, although Belen's order was to ** the fleet.

Looking at the sea level burning, even Zhou Yan and Zhou Wei couldn't help but be moved, they didn't expect that the Roman Navy's broken fleet would be so dead, and they did not hesitate to stop their pursuit.

Coincidentally, Zhou Yan and Zhou Wei stopped the pursuit of the fleet, and under the current situation, they had to bypass the sea area in front of them to pursue, so that their speed would be greatly slowed down, since they couldn't catch up, why bother to do useless work.

On the sea, the sky was red with a raging flame, and it was perhaps his greatest sorrow that Roman Admiral Belém was killed in battle, and that he was born in this era by mistake. And Zhou Wei and Zhou Yan did not have the slightest sense of guilt for bullying the weak by relying on the strength of the ship and the gun, because they knew what war was, and war was such a merciless mockery of the weak!
