"It's the Gauls!"

When the Veniti fleet appeared on the sea, the Romans were deeply shocked by the size of these barbarian ships, and no one could have imagined that such a barbarian people, who were so uncivilized on land, could build warships of such a scale on the sea.

The Veniti ships were twice as tall as the Roman ships, and their hulls were wider and thicker. They are powered by sails, and every Viniti is a seafarer, having grown up near the sea and has a wealth of experience in how to survive at sea. He was also much more skilled in handling the sails than the Romans.

"Soldier, get these machines up."

The centurion on the Roman battleship in the front row was the first to act, ordering his soldiers to reload their ammunition.

Although the ships of the Venetti were large, the Gauls did not have advanced long-range weapons, and all long-range weapons were throwing weapons such as bows and arrows and spears, and they had to be close to the Roman warships to be lethal. So, a large number of Veniti ships rushed up under the bombardment of the Roman catapults.

The battleship of Viniti at the front was battered, sawdust flew everywhere, and the blood of the barbarians flowed on the deck, and on it was a bloody body.

Soon, however, the massive Gallic ships rushed in front of the Roman fleet, and not a single Roman warship dared to confront these sea behemoths head-on. At the same time, a Roman warship was smashed in two! Huge waves were stirred.

Even more frighteningly, when these Veniti ships approached the Roman ships, they began to condescendingly throw spears and stone projectiles. The archers kept shooting. The Roman soldiers on deck suffered heavy casualties.

"Appis, behind you."

Quintus roared and lunged at Appis, and the next second, the barbarian's spear pierced through the air and plunged into the deck where Abyss had just stood. The centurion escorted the young soldiers into the cabin with a large shield, and threw them at each other on the deck, and the Roman legions were completely crushed.

At this time, an even more terrible situation appeared, the weather at sea suddenly changed, the wind surged, the torrential rain hit, the wind tore at the weak ships of the Romans, many Roman warships began to shake in the huge waves due to their small size, and the Roman soldiers on board also began to stand unsteadily, and then all the Romans seemed to remember why the Gaul ships of this tribe were built so large. The waves of the Endless Sea (Atlantic) are not of the same level as the waves of the Mediterranean, in the past, the Romans fought in the Mediterranean, fought with the Carthaginians, and fought with pirates, ships and warships of this size were enough to cope with the waves and winds of the Mediterranean, but in the Endless Sea, the waves and winds here were completely beyond the imagination of the Roman commanders.

The Veniti warships could barely hold their hulls in such strong winds and waves, but on the side of the Roman fleet, 80% of the warships were almost uncontrollable, and even in the huge waves, their own ships would collide with each other, and before the Venetti could rush up, the Romans' own warships were already damaged.

"We must retreat, boy."

Cota yelled at Brutus. He was a kind reminder, however, with Brutus, it turned out to be a different taste.

As if he was mocking his own command mistakes and lack of combat experience.

"Full speed ahead, pull these barbarian warships with the Raven Drawbridge, and we rush up to fight them on deck."

Tore by the wind, Brutus quickly gave a second order.

The soldiers could not refuse the orders of their commanders, and the instructions issued from the flagships were so clear that many Roman fleets had to risk the destruction of their ships and stick them to the enemy ships.

However, many Roman ships were unable to defend themselves due to the onslaught of the wind and waves, and only a few Roman ships managed to catch the drawbridge with the enemy ships.

Brutus tried to defeat the barbarians in the same way he had defeated the Carthaginians in the same way he had done naval warfare. But this time, the situation is different, during the Punic War, the Roman and Carthaginian warships were almost the same size and scale, the hull was almost the same, and the deck height was almost the same, but this time, the volume of the Veniti warship was obviously much higher than that of the Romans, not to mention whether the Roman warship could withstand the wind and waves and advance accurately, even if the Raven Drawbridge caught the enemy's warship, the legionary infantry would attack from the bottom up, as long as the Veniti threw spears or stone bullets on the side of the drawbridge, No matter how strong the Roman infantry was, they could not smoothly board the ship and destroy the other side.

The situation was as Abyss and Cota had predicted, and when the Roman ships approached the Veniti ships, the barbarians either quickly flipped their sails and retreated, or they waited for the Romans to attack.

Several Roman warships barely fixed the crow drawbridge to the enemy ships in the huge waves, but what awaited the legionary infantry was the condescending close-range projection of the Gauls, a scene that even the Roman veterans who had fought hard for many years hesitated to rush forward. For no one who rushes up will inevitably fall into the gallic scattering of arrows and stones.

"Attack, for Rome!"

In order to boost morale, the centurion of the sixth brigade took the lead and rushed forward with all his might. The Raven Drawbridge swayed in the waves, and the centurion kept overcoming his fears, but could not overcome the dense projection from the Gauls directly ahead.

During the backattack, a stone bullet hit the centurion's thigh, and blood suddenly sprayed out, shattering the centurion's thigh bone......

The death of the centurion caused panic among the other Roman soldiers who had not yet boarded the bridge, and many of the recruits simply did not follow the order to grab the rescue boat to escape.

The battlefield turned into a slaughter ground for the Gauls against the Romans.

The Crow Drawbridge, the weapon of the Romans' naval warfare, became a powerful tool for the Gallic barbarians to counterattack the Roman warships, and a large number of bloodthirsty Veniti frantically flocked to the Roman warships diagonally below through the large drawbridge between the two ships.

Although the Roman veterans took up large shields and daggers and prepared for hand-to-hand combat, the barbarians were outnumbered and demoralized.

In a fierce battle, the eight Roman warships attached to the Veniti battleship were captured by the Veniti, and on board, thousands of Roman soldiers became captives of the barbarians, or were pushed to the sea to feed the fish.

The blood of the Romans was shed all over their own fleets.

It was not until dusk that Brutus had to retreat the group of battleships, when the wind and waves subsided sharply, and the Roman ships left the encirclement of the Veniti in the frantic rowing of the slave oarsmen.
