The Wei fleet did not stop and continued to advance eastward at full speed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"General, the lookout reported that the other side released carrier pigeons before they fell silent!" General Sun Tao rushed to report.

"!" Gan Ning scolded with an annoyed expression.

"General, in this way, our army's plans are exposed! Not as good as"

"What do you want to say?"

Sun Tao hesitated, clenched his fists and said: "General, the current strength of our army is much better than that of the other party!" Now the raid plan has been revealed! Why don't you retreat! ”

"No way!"

After a pause, "It's not that there is no possibility of success!" Even if the enemy receives information, it will be difficult to complete the dispatch in a short time! We still have a chance! Tell the teams to go full speed ahead! ”

Sun Tao saw that Gan Ning had made up his mind, so he didn't say much, and retreated with a promise.

Gan Ning thought about it, called the herald, and sent a warning letter to Zhou Tai.

In the evening of the same day, the flagship of the Roman navy.

Lielund looked at the handbook in his hand, and Huo Erren got up, "Wei army fleet?!" What the hell is this! ”

"Your Excellency, what happened?" The subordinate general on the side couldn't help but ask.

Lielund frowned and said, "Polo said that they encountered a large Wei navy!" ”

"Polo?! Wasn't he the tax collector of Egypt? Their fleet was in the west, how could they encounter the Wei army's water warships? The general looked incomprehensible. Your Excellency, General, do you want to send someone to support? ”

Lielund shook his head, "There's no need for that! If they really want to meet Wei Jun, it will be at least half a day ago, they will be finished long ago! What I'm worried about now is the movement of this Wei fleet! Who are they targeting? ”

After a pause, he decisively ordered: "Order all fleets to stop advancing immediately and move closer here!" In addition, patrol boats are stationed to the west, and all ships are ordered to be ready for battle! ”

"Yes!"

In the middle of the night, a bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the whole sea surface is like a mirror, and there is also a bright moon floating on the sea.

Hundreds of warships lined up on the sea, facing the west, ready for battle.

Heaven and earth are very quiet, but under this silence there is a tense atmosphere.

Suddenly, a red signal rocket rose up a few miles to the west. Everyone in the fleet could not help but be surprised.

Lielund muttered, "It's coming! ”

He immediately ordered the subordinate beside him: "Prepare to fight!" "There was a tumult on the sea.

After a few moments, the lookout shouted: "Due west, the enemy fleet has been spotted!" ”

Before the watchman's words fell, a flash of fire flashed on the sea in the distance, followed by a whistling sound tearing through the air in the sky, and then the water column around the warship soared into the sky, and the battleship that was hit shook violently, and debris flew all over the sky.

"Why did they fire so far away?!" The general said with a look of surprise.

Rielund said calmly: "They have a cannon ship that is huge and capable of carrying heavy artillery!" Command the 1st and 2nd fleets to charge head-on! The gunboat flotilla approached the enemy from both flanks! ”

"Yes!"

The Roman navy's warships immediately attracted the Wei army's heavy artillery fire, and for a while, the sea where the two warships were located was like boiling water.

At the same time, the gunboats of the Roman navy were rapidly approaching the Wei fleet from both flanks.

Gan Ning glanced at the sea and sneered: "You actually want to give me this trick!" Summoned Li Tie, attack immediately! ”

"Yes!"

The gunboats of the two sides fiercely bombarded each other across the sea surface of tens of meters, and the crossbow arrows whistled and flew staggered on the sea surface, and the extremely loud whistling sound was endless, and countless water columns rose into the sky, and the battleships that were hit were quickly engulfed in flames.

At this moment, a group of Wei gunboats and a group of ballista warships suddenly appeared in the rear of the fleet of the Chinese army in Lielunde. The artillery bombardment was fierce, and the Chinese fleet was taken by surprise. At the same time, the ballista warships charged.

The Wei ballista warships took advantage of the opportunity of the enemy to be stunned and rushed into it, and the opponent launched a hand-to-hand encounter, and a group of Wei soldiers jumped onto the enemy warship, and the two sides engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat on the deck, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

At this time, the Wei gunboats also approached the Roman fleet and bombarded fiercely at a distance, only to see the enemy ships flying in the sky with debris mixed with human bodies under the fierce artillery fire.

The battle lasted about two quarters of an hour, when the Roman fleet was routed, and the ships of Lielund and several of them retreated to the south. Seeing this, the Roman fleet, which was in full swing in the west, hurriedly fled to the south.

The Wei army pursued on all fronts.

Before the early hours of the morning, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides on the sea more than ten miles to the south, and the Wei army once again routed the Roman navy. At this time, the other two fleets of the Roman army had already arrived close to the left of the battlefield.

The situation on the battlefield became unfavorable for the Wei army.

The Wei navy immediately retreated to the west, and the two Roman fleets that had just arrived pursued the Wei navy, one on the left and one on the right.

At the same time, Zhou Tai led the fleet, which had been used as a decoy, towards the north.

That night, the fleet led by Zhou Tai and the remaining fleet of Lielund met unexpectedly, and a fierce naval battle broke out on board. Defeated, Rylund retreated to the north.

Next, Zhou Tai was in trouble, he didn't know where the main fleet led by Gan Ning was going.

Just when Zhou Tai was in trouble, a flash of fire suddenly flashed in the night sky in the west.

"Look, General!" The general shouted urgently.

Zhou Tai hurriedly walked to the side of the ship, glanced at the sky to the west, and hurriedly ordered: "Order the fleet to move in the direction of the fire immediately!" ”

"No!"

The fleet then dropped anchor, and hundreds of warships of all kinds headed in the direction of the blazing fire to the west.

Looking back, the main force of the fleet led by Gan Ning left the battlefield and headed west at full speed, but due to the large size and slow movement of the third class ships, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.

Seeing that he could not get rid of the enemy's pursuit, Gan Ning simply ordered to stop the retreat and turn around and attack the enemy fleet.

The Roman fleet was chasing Huan behind the Wei fleet, but suddenly found that the other party turned around 180 degrees and launched a rapid assault. For a time, the water column on the sea was monstrous, and the firelight continued to flash in the night.

Just when the two sides were in full swing, the fleet led by Zhou Tai suddenly appeared in the rear of the Roman fleet, and the Roman army line was disrupted.

In the face of the Wei fleet, which was rapidly moving away, the Roman fleet had no intention of pursuing at all.

Soon after, the two conveniences disengaged.

The Wei fleet headed south, and two days later joined the convoy on an island near the mouth of the gorge, and then headed south through the strait.

There is simply no cargo in the cargo fleet here, they are just bait for this operation.

However, this operation of the Wei army was obviously unsuccessful, and of course the Romans' plan was not successful, and this naval battle was half a cattle, and both sides failed to realize their strategic intentions, and both paid a great price.

Nearly 100 ships were sunk, including 91 fifth-class ships and 9 small frigates, while the Romans also lost nearly 100 ships, including 89 warships and 10 ballista ships of various kinds.

The main forces of the fleets of both sides are still there, and this naval battle is far from over.

At the same time, the Roman fleet converged near Cyprus.

Roman Palace.

Caracalla looked at the information in his hand, couldn't help frowning, and glanced at His Highness, "Two days ago, the navy led by General Lielund was ambushed by the Wei navy! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but be shocked. Thomas asked urgently, "Your Majesty, what is the result?" ”

Caracalla said with a happy face: "Fortunately, at that time, our taxing fleet to Egypt encountered the opposing navy unexpectedly, and General Lielund received the information in time!" Otherwise, the consequences are not conceivable! In this battle, neither the enemy nor the enemy took any advantage! They went out of the strait! ”

When everyone heard this, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A minister said with emotion: "The combat power of the Wei army is extremely strong!" I can't imagine that the Navy is not inferior in the slightest! ”

Everyone couldn't help but frown.

Caracalla said to Thomas: "The entry of the Wei navy into the Mediterranean Sea is extremely unfavorable to us! Something must be done to curb this! ”

Thomas pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty, the channel is narrow, and if you set up batteries on both sides of it, you can completely prevent the enemy fleet from entering the Mediterranean!" ”

Caracalla's eyes lit up, and all the ministers nodded in agreement.

Caracalla said, "This can work!" Immediately transport all the catapults and other supplies hoarded in Macedonia to Cybrus and hand them over to General Lielund, and order him to lead his forward team to the strait to build a fort! ”

"Yes!"

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Caracalla left the administrator Thomas behind.

Seeing Caracalla's expression of concern, Thomas couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, what do you seem to be worried about?" ”

Caracalla nodded, "The Wei people's navy is nearby, and they can attack the hinterland of the empire at any time!" It's hard for me to sleep! ”

Thomas frowned and said, "Your Majesty's concern is indeed a big problem!" But it is very difficult for our army to destroy them at the moment! If you are not careful, you may be taken advantage of! So I think we shouldn't rush things, we should seek stability! Settle the rebellion in Jerusalem first, and then find a way to deal with the Wei navy! ”

Caracalla nodded thoughtfully, "You have a point! Just let Rylund take care of the defense of the entire Strait area, do you think it's okay? ”

Thomas nodded, "General Lielund is proficient in water warfare, and he will definitely be able to hold the strait like an iron barrel!" Your Majesty, in order to ensure the successful completion of the battle of Jerusalem, I propose to send more troops to Jerusalem! ”

Caracalla thought for a moment, "Good! The 7th and 8th Legions were sent to Jerusalem to support Batra! ”

Thomas smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the government and the opposition are quite dissatisfied with General Batra!" ”

Caracalla said indifferently: "Some time ago, Batra really didn't play well! But that's not entirely to blame him! In fact, he did the right thing in dealing with many problems! I'm sure Batra will be able to prove what he's capable of! Well, there's no need to discuss this! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, there is one more thing, it is about the Queen of the Bosphoru! ”

Caracalla frowned, "What's the matter?" (To be continued.) )
