But it was too late, the flagship of Dumijuans, with its flared sails, with bronze horns like a bird's beak, rushed up to meet it, and although "Calabia" struggled to avoid it, it was torn diagonally with an extremely long wound, and the planks flew wildly, and the two ships collided violently, and the people on it fell and tumbled like the vortex core of an earthquake. Moreover, at the moment of collision, Dumijius, who had been prepared for a long time, threw down the heavy lead ball that stretched out of the bridge boom, and immediately smashed a shocking crater on the deck of "Calabia" - Li Bida's bridge was completely smashed, and seven or eight people were smashed on the spot by the Medejie guards around him, and he rolled into the mess, and desperately pulled the sail rope so that he was not thrown into the sea.

"I'm still here, I'm still alive!" Soon, covered in blood, he struggled to hold on to the rope and stood up, shouting at all the guards and crew, he wiped his face, and saw many people moaning and crawling around in front of him, and the two ships were embedded in each other, still shaking violently on the water, and Dumijuan was still on the bridge, and when he saw this, he shouted, "Get out of here, and hit me again!" ”

"Don't give them this chance, put down the drawbridge and the gangplank." Li Bida roared, then picked up a shield, and took the lead to rush to the other side of the deck, at this moment the two ships were still like black bears fighting each other, crooked, even the keel was clearly visible, most of the oarsmen on the side, flesh and blood were blurred, dead and wounded everywhere, and the other side was still shouting and rowing trumpets. The sea poured into the Calabia, but it only deviated because of the water trap underneath. and not incapacitated. In this way, it is the flagship of Dumijuans. Because of the damage and flooding, it was inconvenient to retreat, and for a time the calabia was full of gongs and drums, and the oarsmen did not retreat but advanced, and continued to entangle with the other party's ships.

Blocks of drawbridges and gangplanks were stretched out, lowered, and rested between the two boats, followed by people on both sides who were still able to get up. They all fought like a tidal wave, and fought fiercely with scythes, axes, broken paddles, bows, arrows, and stones. Li Bida became frenzied, he drew his sword, and rushed up the drawbridge with the shield and the guards, and clashed with the soldiers who came from the opposite side, and one after another was hit by arrows, or fell into the water unsteadily, "Come on, Dumijus. Former Consul, your luck may be faster than my sword. Come and fight me out! Li Bida unloaded the shoulder of one of the centurions of the other party, and then snatched the javelin stabbed by the opponent covered in blood, and threw it at the bridge where Dumijius was located, and drank loudly.

"Do you think I'm here to play a game of walnut throwing with you? For the sake of the reputation of the Republic, I will also slay you thief, you foreign ghost! After dodging the flying javelins, Dumijus roared, grabbed his small round shield, and leaped down with his sword, and joined the fight himself, and the men and horses on both sides went back and forth on the gangplanks of the drawbridge on the side of the ship, and everywhere the light of the swords swayed.

The entire surrounding sea area was filled with bellows-lit ships smoking, and the two fleets were constantly trying to get close to their respective flagships, and the scuffle was in full swing.

"Commander, over there, over there!" Several of Dumijuan's servants and patrons shouted, and he turned his eyes to look, but saw that in the waterway of the old port, several warships with Ligurian flags were about to sail out, and many people rowed in small boats, rushing towards the war group, "Damn, Li Bida really set up an ambush in the old port, and the Ligurians are also natural sea tribes, besides, what kind of hellish tactics does this guy use." Dumijus thought to himself, and by this time his flagship had slowly hung half of its side, out of the side of the battle, and many of the people on the side of Li Bida, including the governor of Sardinia himself, could not stand on their feet and jumped into the sea.

Fortunately, Li Bida did not wear heavy armor beforehand, but only wore light Egyptian-style linen armor, and after drinking a ton of seawater, he was finally pulled up by the hook - after the arrival of the Ligurian sailors, they drove out the rest of the ships of Dumijuans and slowly dragged the "Calabia" back to the island of Semos.

At dusk, Li Bida still won a great victory in the naval battle, five of the seventeen large ships of Dumijus were sunk and burned, three were captured, and even his flagship was severely damaged, while Li Bida only lost a few light rowing boats, as Li Bida had said earlier in the mobilization of inspiration, this was a complete victory of new tactics and new technology.

From then on, even though Dumijus repaired the prepared ships, he no longer dared to leave the harbor to make trouble. At Liebida's request, Liguria and Sardinia were required to recruit twenty new decked ships and forty to sixty light assault ships within three months, even if the timber and keel were not yet dry.

About half a day later, a brave young knight of Corsica named Edangius, who was also a fanatical admirer of Caesar, collected four ships with his private fortune and sailed to Arr, where he was appointed lieutenant general and stationed on the island of Semothy to oversee all the ships and the progress of the bridge.

In the mouth of Edangis, Li Bida learned that the war at Brindisi was over, and Caesar, in addition to leaving the Twelve Legions to garrison the area of Tarinton and Brindisi, took the remaining six legions and hurried north, and soon arrived in Massella, and then joined the attack on the provinces near Spain.

"Where did Pompey flee?"

"Pompey and the two consuls escaped by boat, and before he left, he dug down the breakwater of Brindisi, and laid stakes and spikes at the moats and gates, and the whole harbor was reduced to such a state that Caesar could not pursue him at all—and then it is said that Pompey went to the Peloponnese and began a counterattack." The other party replied.

Li Bida said with confidence that Pompey would not go to the other side of the sea, which surprised Edangis, but then the governor analyzed: Pompey originally thought that the entire Greek Macedonia and the eastern countries were his backyard, and the human and financial resources were inexhaustible, but since the start of the war, almost half of Asia Minor has betrayed, and Egypt and Cyrene have also made it clear that they will stay out of the matter, Pompey feels that it is full of difficulties to counterattack with his back to the east - and Africa has two new complete legions from Turas, King Juba is also said to have expressed his willingness to be Pompey's ally, and this king had a strong and large army of cavalry and elephants.

"What's more, Lusitania and Spain are now Pompey's sphere of influence, and they happen to be at odds with Africa and Mauritania." Li Bida judged this with confidence.

Indeed, when Caesar's legions arrived a month later, he told Lypita clearly, "The Greek and eastern Pompey were handed over to his cronies Marcellus and Gabinus, and he himself took the senator and the rest of the generals to the city of Carthage." ”

"Then you shouldn't have gone to the Spanish battlefield." And so he said to Caesar. (To be continued......)
