A stone-throwing with a black flue tail whizzed across the sky, and the pirate king Commodus stared closely at the direction of the stone-throwing, and then, with a clatter, the boulder fell into the sea, causing a spectacular wave. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At this time, Commodus's heart fell to the ground and settled a little.

"Order all ships to keep their distance from Octavian's fleet and sink those ships with ballistas and catapults!"

Commodus said, revealing a terrifying scar. After the defeat of Greece, in order to survive, Wintus had to mingle with the lowest-level market figures to cover up his identity and whereabouts. At this moment, Wintus, who had changed his name and surname, stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the shadow of the ship on the opposite side, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he followed his father Gnaeus Pompey on the expedition many years ago to conquer pirates.

As Apis had guessed, Octavian eventually sent only two hundred warships against Commodus' pirate army. Compared with the large ships of the regular Roman army, the ships under Commodus were much smaller sailing ships, and the quality of the sailors was uneven, and if you wanted to defeat Octavian's Roman navy, you had to rely on the long-range weapons on the ships, otherwise, once the ships of the regular Roman navy approached and detained the pirate ships with crow drawbridges, the sailors on these ships would undoubtedly be destroyed, you know, the Roman heavy infantry was the king of this era in close combat, and could crush these unarmored pirate crews.

"Stop moving forward and attack in a roundabout way!"

Facing the approaching Roman navy, Commodus shouted. The flagship of the Pirate King was the first to turn around, and the helmsman struggled to kill the rudder, and the whole flagship first made a sharp turn of 90 degrees, and suddenly the side of the ship stirred up a thousand waves. Immediately, dozens of pirate ships located next to the pirate flagship also made a sharp turn after the pirate king's flagship. The sides loaded with ballistas and catapults were aimed at the Roman heavy ships approaching from the opposite side.

"Launch!"

Immediately, when the two fleets were close enough, Cummedus gave the order for all ships to attack. At this time, Octavian's warship also threw hot flint at the same time.

On the surface of the sea, countless cannons and arrows flew in a flash, and Octavian's navy and Cummedes' pirate fleet threw rockets and cannons at each other. The sky resounded with the terrifying whistling and screaming of stone bullets and crossbow arrows.

Countless waves rippled around the hull. Shook so many of Harmony's pirate ships to the ground. There is no more brutal scene in ancient warfare than this. There was no surrender to speak of in naval battles. Apparently, the cannon thrown from the Roman Raven was clearly more powerful, and a blast of cannon carrying hot tar and flames whizzed down on a slow-moving pirate ship. In an instant, the fragile Mediterranean pirate ship was smashed through the side of the ship by the artillery, which shattered the deck and shattered the planks used to make the ship, splashing wood chips mixed with the blood of the sailors.

Screams rang out on the board.

While most of the cannons didn't hit the hull, there was no doubt that only one hit was fatal enough for Compuds' pirate ship. The pirate ship that was hit soon began to leak, and a large amount of seawater poured into the cabin. Many sailors had to abandon ship on the spot to escape, grabbing floating sticks or other objects that could float.

On the other hand, Comerdes' pirate flagship also accurately hit a large Roman transport. Huge cannonstones pierced the deck, and sawdust and blood spilled red on the sea. Apparently, the high-speed stone projectile pierced the deck of the ship and then continued to fly, shattering the oarsmen in the cabin of the Roman warship. Immediately, with the same fate as the pirate ship, a large amount of seawater poured into the cabin, and many slaves did not have time to escape and were swept into the rough seas.

"Charge! Stick it up! ”

Attacked by countless pirate ships, the commander of the Roman fleet began to hold back and ordered his fleet to attack at full speed, attaching these weak and scattered pirate ships, and fixing them with crow bridges, as long as the crow drawbridges fixed the pirate ships, these small ships scurrying around were equivalent to losing hope of survival. Heavy infantry not only slaughtered the crew, but also took over the entire ship unscathed, so every pirate ship caught by a Roman ship would actually become a Roman naval ship the next moment.

This is something that Comparders cannot tolerate. Cummedes, who had served in the Roman legions for many years, knew and knew the tactics of the regular Roman army, and under the unified command of the Pirate King, countless pirate ships were scattered in all directions. Like countless ants, they were densely packed around the battleships of Octavian's navy. When a Roman heavy warship tried to pursue a pirate ship, it had to face long-range attacks from other pirate ships in all directions.

Tarnished pirate ships hurled cannons and crossbows around large Roman warships. The crossbow was thrown through the Roman soldiers on the deck of the ship, and even the strongest shields could not defend against the attacks of such long-range heavy weapons.

What made Octavian's naval commander even more annoyed and surprised was that Compedus was not an ordinary pirate, and his source of funds may not be as simple as plundering sea ships, at this moment, the Roman naval commander Lucius was surprised to see that when those dilapidated pirate ships were withdrawn, countless small assault boats joined the battlefield, each of which was loaded with thick forage, asphalt, and fuel. The boat's oarsmen, numbering no more than ten men, rushed to the Roman raven warship, igniting the ship's fuel and plunging into the sea. Leave behind the flaming ramming boats and crash straight into the Roman crow warship!

It was an almost suicidal attack, and the triangular horns of the assault boat, wrapped in iron sheets, crashed into the hull of the great Roman ship at high speed. The flames and tongues of fire quickly eroded and swooped down on the entire large Roman raven warship.

Asphalt and grease were fuels that could not be extinguished, and they floated on the surface of the sea, and the flames spread all over the sea around the Roman ships. Thick smoke fills the sky, and it is almost the scene of the end coming.

Then, after being rammed by four or five assault boats from different angles, the Roman ship came to rest on the surface of the sea, engulfed alive by the flames. The ship's Roman hoplites had to take off their heavy armor and jump into the sea to survive. Of course, there were also many Roman soldiers who jumped into the sea before they had time to take off their chain armor. Dragged down by heavy equipment, it sank to the bottom of the sea......
