"Pull hard!" Shirtless Han sergeants struggled to pull long cables to allow their ships to maneuver over a wide area. The sergeants' bronzed skin was covered with sweat, and their bulging tendon flesh was full of explosive power. Living at sea all year round makes them look incredibly athletic.

"Sideways, catapult ready!" Even if it's at sea, even if it's hot right now. The tall captain was still wearing armor and stood majestically on the console. As for the waterfall-like beads of sweat on his forehead, no one can care about it at this time.

With the sound of tooth-aching gears turning, more than a dozen catapults fixed to the side of the ship were slowly pulled into the firing state. The nervous-looking old sailors carefully carried the huge sealed clay pot to the throwing spoon and placed it steadily.

These clay pots are filled with maddening hellfire. These sergeants have all seen the terrifying power of these clay pots. No one dares to make trouble for themselves at this time. That's really going to kill people.

After the veterans apply a special layer of material to the clay pot and light the torches in their hands. The sailors on the deck were almost all gone, and no one dared to stand by their side at this time.

"These bastard boys." The veterans muttered and cursed, but they were helpless. This kind of dangerous thing has always been done by veterans. The captain didn't dare to hand over the work to the clumsy and careless recruits. If something happens, it's likely to hurt the whole ship! No one is careless.

"Aim!" The young surveyors who came out of the Naval Academy were sweating profusely with the measuring tools in their hands to operate the aiming direction of the dropper. Adjusting the pitch angle and the left and right compasses, he put the Roman warships in the distance into the crosshairs in front of him.

"Ready!" When everything was ready, the surveyor raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his face and turned to shout at the captain who had been staring at them from the conning tower.

"Launch!" With the captain's deep roar. The sailor, who was standing next to the throwing spoon, immediately brought the torch in his hand close to the pot and lit it.

"Hey!" After seeing the clay pot burning. A muscular sailor picked up a huge hammer and slammed it into the frame of the thrower.

'Whoosh~~~' The burning clay pot was thrown out in an instant. Under the gaze of the whole boat, the burning clay pot cut a graceful arc in the air. It smashed heavily on a Roman warship.

In an instant, the Roman warship began to spread a raging fire. Even from this distance, many Romans on fire could be seen screaming and running around. There were also many burning men who jumped directly from the side of the ship into the sea.

"Silly boy, if you can be fine if you jump into the sea, then what kind of hellfire is it?" A sailor, still holding a torch in his hand, shook his head and whispered as he looked at the Roman soldiers in the distance who were howling and jumping into the sea to try to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

This home-made napalm is no worse than the original in terms of lethality alone. After the clay pot cracked by impact, the napalm splashed on the surrounding people was like lard paste, viscous and burn-resistant. If a person uses his hands to slap the flames, the fire will grow louder and louder.

If you roll on the ground to extinguish the fire, you will get fire all over your body. The burn is even more vigorous. After all, the human body contains a lot of fat. And once there is a lot of fire on the person, the people on the side should try to stay away from the person on fire, because the struggle of the person on fire is easy to throw the burning oil block on the person to form a secondary killing effect. After this thing is contaminated, unless you cut the meat immediately, it will inevitably be a dead end.

The incendiary bombs, which were almost completely impossible to extinguish with the addition of polystyrene, were already terrifying. But the craftsmen of the Han Empire, after some research, added white phosphorus to the clay pots.

White phosphorus will leave a large amount of highly toxic chemicals after burning in the human epidermis, which will enter the blood circulation through the open wound of the burn wound, causing blood poisoning of the wounded. Burn surfaces are generally purple, or blue-black. This highly toxic substance is absolutely incurable in this day and age. No one except the Han army had drugs that suppressed the poison.

In other words, as long as it is stained by an incendiary bomb, no matter who it is, it will receive an invitation from Lord Hades.

Of course. The other function of the incendiary bomb will rapidly consume the oxygen in the nearby air and produce a large amount of carbon monoxide, causing biological suffocation. Moreover, this small home-made incendiary bomb does not have such a huge coverage and power.

The raging fire soon spread on the Roman ships. Wooden warships were largely defenseless against such an unquenchable fire.

Even a ship painted with a fireproof coating is useless in the face of incendiary bombs that will never be extinguished without draining their last breath. The whole ship soon became a huge torch. Especially those sea ships with sails, the larger the sails. The faster it goes.

The Romans on board, whether they were on fire or not, began to jump desperately towards the sea. If you don't go, you won't be able to go.

This Roman ship is a microcosm of this vast battlefield. The Han fleet lined up in formation, using a large number of long-range droppers to throw incendiary bombs at the Romans' sea ships. It hits the ship, and the ship is finished. It doesn't matter if it is smashed in the sea, the huge kinetic energy is enough to break the clay pot, and after it burns, it forms a huge fire belt on the surface of the sea. A ship that could not dodge was a death, and a Roman who jumped into the sea to escape was also a death.

The Roman fleet, which had been huge and densely covered with sea, was in a desperate situation in an instant.

The Romans originally used the sea breeze and the oars of the slaves to quickly approach the large ships of the Han army, trying to launch a large-scale fire attack. But when a terrifying belt of fire burned on the sea in front of them. But I was stunned to find that it was very difficult to escape now.

The grease that floats on the surface of the sea has great adhesion. The ship will be on fire when it drives by, and it won't be long before it will be over. Especially the chained bunkers were full of arsonboats of desperate oarsman slaves. Rush fast. Die fast.

The arsonist ships burned themselves into torches before they could get closer, and the big ships that were close to the Han army burned themselves. Severu's killer weapon was just opened and pressed into the bottom of the sea by Sun Jian.

Of course, there are no environmentalists in this era. Sun Jian's large-scale pollution of the ocean will never be complained about.

“...... How so?! Severus trembled as he looked at the advance Roman fleet in the distance, which was caught in a sea of fire. A look of disbelief on his face. How can a rough sea catch fire? Could it be that these aliens are using the weapons of the god of fire?!

Severus, who was originally full of confidence, grabbed his black hair vigorously and walked back and forth restlessly on the control tower of the warship. Muttered to himself, with a flustered expression. This kind of thing is too weird, and the alien army actually has weapons that can burn on the sea? How can this still be warn?

The Romans on the battlefield were in a similar mood to Severus at the moment. The weapons they were equipped with could not reach the warships of the Han army, and they could only be beaten passively. There were some brave Romans who increased their speed and desperately tried to get up and start a broadside battle. But sadly found that his ship could not reach the side of the Han army's big ship at all. It's a few meters away, and even if the Olympic high jump champion comes, he can't jump up.

"Hey, hey." Seeing that the situation on the battlefield had been mastered by himself, Sun Jian's cold face finally showed a satisfied smile. Sun Jian pointed to the panicked Roman fleet in the distance and shouted, "Kill it!" ”

"Whoa!" The generals of the Han army, who were also excited and saw the hope of victory, agreed in unison.

The Han fleet blocked the first round of the aggressive Romans' assault through a long-range blockade, and at the same time dealt a great blow to the Romans with a sharp counterattack. After the Roman offensive was thwarted, Sun Jian soon launched a massive counterattack. The huge Han fleet bypassed the burning sea and divided into multiple queues to kill the Roman fleet.

"What now?" More than a dozen Roman generals beside Severus rushed to his side in a panic and shouted loudly. They all began to fear that this extremely important naval battle would end in failure.

"......" watched as the alien fleets in the distance slaughtered, burned, and sank Roman ships. Severus felt like a mess in his head, and he didn't know what to do now. Naval warfare was not something he was good at in the first place.

"We've lost!" The Roman generals did not dare to mention the retreat, but the senators who followed them did not care. They are all human spirits, so they can naturally see that the Roman fleet at this time is not anyone's opponent at all, and if they don't leave at this time, it is very likely that they will not be able to leave.

"Severus!" A gray-haired senator came to Severus's side, his expression unconcealed with panic, and shouted loudly, "We have lost!" Can't you see? Our ship can't beat them at all, so we should retreat back and find a way at this time. Instead of continuing to stay here and die in vain! ”

The patriarch was right, the Romans were now dying in vain.

The ships of the Han army were tall and large, and they were unusually strong. They were armed with a large number of powerful weapons, and they were perfectly formed to crush the Roman fleet. Even the Han army didn't need to continue to use things like the arrow tower thrower, and they could crush the Roman boat by directly ramming it with their powerful hull.

Of course, the Roman ships were not useless. At least the professional warships equipped with ramming horns still caused some damage to the Han army.

The main reason why the Romans were able to achieve results was that the shipbuilding technology brought by Gao Yang did not have the ancient naval warfare technology of the pre-AD collision angle at all. At the same time, the Han sailors were noticeably slackened when the situation was settled, and many began to ram the Roman boats with their large ships, amusing themselves by watching them struggle desperately in the water.
