"Attack! For Rome! ”

In August, when the Atlantic Ocean was calm, Brutus and Sabinus chose this time of the year when the sea was calmest to start the final battle with the Venites. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Both sides sent all their warships, all their main forces, to a life-and-death duel in the waters outside Normandy.

The Roman navy first fired the first wave of stone projectiles at the barbarian fleet.

Ignited stone projectiles rained down on the Veniti ships like meteors. But the Venites also adjusted their angle in time, and made a hasty approach to the side of the Roman fleet, and although the sea breeze was not very strong, it was enough to provide all the power for the ships to move forward.

"Archer, prepare!"

As the barbarian fleet approached, Brutus personally commanded the first row of Roman warships and began to meet the enemy. This is a battle that can only be won, not lost, three Roman legions are loaded on this huge fleet, if it fails, Caesar will lose a complete three legions in Gaul, then the rebellion in the entire Gaul region is not far off, the point is, this time the barbarians also sent all the fleets, want to withdraw from the battlefield halfway like last time, it is impossible.

The battleships of the First Povenetes approached the Roman fleet.

Balearic slingers and Creek archers also spilled the first rain of arrows and stone projectiles.

This time, the Gauls were initially suppressed in a long-range duel. Although the Gallic hunters also had keen judgment and excellent range of bows and arrows, the Gauls were completely unprepared for the use of foreign mercenaries against the Romans, and they also wanted to stay outside the javelin range of the Roman infantry and slowly shoot the Roman soldiers on the ship, but they did not expect that when the ship was halfway through, it was attacked by stone bullets and arrows that cut their heads and faces. Quite a few Gallic warriors were shot in the head and chest in panic and fell on the deck screaming. Blood flowed on the deck, causing a great deal of panic on the Gallic ships.

But in terms of long-range attack, the Gauls had the advantage after all.

Soon, the battleships of Venetti in the front row, under the command of their own patriarch, began to launch a counterattack against the Roman battleships.

The arrows of the Gallic hunters were a deadly weapon, and although they did not shoot in unison, their crosshairs and strength were still superior to the Roman ranged troops. After all, the stone crossbow and catapult of the Roman legion are slow to load, and it is a single attack, which is a heavy weapon and has the characteristics of slow speed, which determines that it cannot become an efficient lethal weapon, at most it has a deterrent effect on the enemy.

However, the Legion fleet, under the unified command of Brutus, rushed towards the opposing ships like frenzied bees.

"These brainless dwarfs are here to die again."

The barbarian leaders laughed at the mindless charge of the Roman fleet, in their opinion, the Romans had already fought a naval battle with the Gallic fleet before, and their warships could not sink the Gallic ships at all, and once they approached the Gallic ships, the Gauls could also use their condescending projections to gain absolute superiority. So in the eyes of Patriarch Venetti, he simply ignored this collective charge of the Romans.

However, when the Roman battleships rushed in front of the Veniti ships, they collectively slowed down. Such a scene made Patriarch Viniti stunned.

"Soldier, now, put down the scythe!"

The centurion on the Roman warship roared angrily, and soon the decisive action to determine the victory or defeat of the whole sea was launched.

The Venedicts still had a huge advantage over the ships, throwing spears and stone projectiles at the Roman soldiers below. But the sharp scythes that protruded from the Roman warships blinded the eyes of the Gauls.

The barbarians watched in amazement as these strange weapons reflecting a cold and cold light swung over their heads, and then, with an immensely fast movement, cut the cables supporting their sails!

Perhaps at one moment, the Venites did not know what the Romans were trying to do, but the next moment, when the Roman warships, which numbered as many as ants, surrounded them at the same time, the Venetti knew that something was wrong. The Romans wanted to besiege themselves!

Soon, to the astonishment of the Venites, several Roman warships simultaneously secured the huge hull of the Veniti with crow drawbridges, and then hundreds of heavily armed Roman hoplites quickly climbed onto the Veniti ships like an impregnable wall.

If in the previous naval battle between the Venites and the Romans, a Viniti warship could completely destroy a Roman warship, then, when several Roman warships besieged a Veniti warship at the same time, the Veniti on board were undoubtedly panicked, and their stone bullets and spears shot down many Roman soldiers who were boarding the ship, but when dozens of Roman heavy infantry boarded the battleship at the same time, the Venites knew that their time of death was ......

"Damn it, get all the ships, stay away from these Roman battleships!"

The barbarian leader shouted, and at the same time, the signal from the huge barbarian warship also let many of the Veniti warships know that their leader ordered everyone to keep their distance from the Roman warship group.

However, at a critical moment in the naval battle, the heavens once again tipped the scales of victory in favor of the Romans. The sea breeze suddenly stopped at this moment, and all the Veniti ships could only stand still on the sea like corpses, leaving their helmsmen, no matter how powerful the sail bearers were, without the sea breeze, the warships lost the power to advance and retreat, and the Romans, their ships were dual-powered, that is, they used both oars and sails, without sails, the slaves desperately rowed their oars, and sent the Roman warships to the barbarian warships accurately.

What was once a hunter has become the prey of the present.

The Roman soldiers poured into the Veniti ships like a red tide, and a hungry wolf may not be able to defeat a buffalo, but a pack of hungry wolves can bite a strong bull to death. Four or five Roman warships surrounded a Veniti ship, and heavy infantry boarded the ship to engage the Veniti in hand-to-hand combat.

In the sword and shield attack, the blood of the Veniti was all over the deck, the broken internal organs, the limbs floated on the surface of the sea, and the strong smell of blood even attracted schools of sharks.

"We must surrender, Patriarch."

More than 300 Veniti ships were surrounded and annihilated by the Roman navy in a single day. Patriarch Viniti was devastated, but he was powerless to redeem his defeat. When the patriarch hesitated, a stone projectile from a stone catapult from a Roman warship hit the pole of Patriarch Vinetti's warship. The loud cracking of planks accompanied the screams of the sailors, intimidating the other tribal warriors on the ship who had not yet surrendered.

Eventually, the Roman warship pierced the iron nail of the Raven Drawbridge into the ship of the Patriarch of Vinetti, and four hundred heavily armed Roman hoplites boarded the crumbling chieftain's ship.

On this day, almost all the Veniti were killed in the First World War, and as a tribe, Veniti practically ceased to exist. As the patriarch came to surrender with the last of his family and some of the surviving young men, Abyss saw blood-colored ravens hovering over the lost village.
