The nineteenth year of the Great Qin calendar, the two hundred and ninety-sixth year of the Roman Republican calendar, spring.

The flames burned throughout the Eurasian and African continents, and this all-out war for hegemony between Great Qin and Rome was like a sudden hurricane, involving one nation after another.

All winter.

The two sides of the battle line are intertwined, in the middle direction, although the fortress of Zink has been captured by the Qin army, but the Romans did not give up, the Thracian barbarians of Skdax, the casualties are heavy day by day, and the replacement of him as the first has been replaced by Cao Xin's main force on the eastern front, this Qin army is well-equipped, disciplined, and brave, they are more difficult to deal with than the Thracians, and the Romans are gradually showing defeat in the struggle.

However, Scipio showed tenacity, determined to fight, and unleashed unprecedented potential, a team of fresh troops drawn from the country took turns to play, replacing the tired soldiers, with strong arms, fearless sacrifice, blocking the Qin army's attacks wave after wave.

In the period when the republican system entered the imperial system, Scipio's reform of the army gradually appeared, the original compulsory military service conscription system was abandoned, and the soldiers' weapons and armor will no longer be provided by themselves, but by the state and the government to unify the ration, what the soldiers have to do is to obey orders, take up arms, and fight with the enemy, to tear apart, to win the necessary victory on the battlefield.

Under the suppression of the Qin state, the Roman army in the imperial era gradually took shape, with infantry pikemen and groups of professional soldiers equipped with armor, and the free and rigorous personality of the Roman personality was gradually revealed, and they may have been a little backward in the initial stage. was caught off guard by the Qin army, but now, the Romans are catching up in stride.

The northeastern foothills of the Alps.

The snow line rises and falls between the low-valley bushes and exposed rocks, and in some leeward places, snow still fills the valleys. Groups of Roman soldiers were patrolling nervously, hoping to find a trace of the enemy, and then eliminate them and report to the commander.

In early summer, the weather was still cold, after the fall of the fortress of Zink. The Roman army gradually retreated, and the highest mountain in Europe in the northern part of the Apennine Peninsula was the last barrier for the Romans. The Roman legions guarding this high mountain area were intensively building fortifications, and for them, by holding the passes between the snow lines of these valleys, they were also defending their homeland.

On the battlefield on the Western Front.

The battle for Port Bell is in full swing.

The Qin fleet commanded by Gan Yong and the new Roman fleet launched one sea chase after another around the port and the shipping lane. The commander of the new Roman fleet was a close confidant of Scipio, and in the absence of confidence, the successor of Crassus wisely chose to avoid the battle.

Even if it was sometimes entangled by the Qin fleet, it mostly took the way of breaking the tail to survive, and there was nothing to lose one or two warships, only to be able to drag the fleet of the Qin State, and the sea transportation line of the Roman Republic was now very short. That is, these ports in the western Mediterranean, as long as they are careful, they can avoid the interception of the Qin fleet.

It is true that in the vast and vast sea, the probability of the two fleets meeting is very low, but if one side has the initiative in intelligence, then it only needs to stay on the course a few days in advance and wait for the other side to throw itself into the net.

Port of Genoa.

A port town in the north of the Apennine Peninsula, it connects the Iberian, Gaul and Apennine triangles, in a small sea. Trade by sea was well developed, and it was also an important town for the Romans to obtain supplies.

on the pier.

The sails lined the seabirds that flew by, and the fish that were foraging on the surface of the sea were caught by the seabirds, and in the struggle and unwillingness, they headed towards the cliff not far away, where they were. The new generation is waiting to be fed, the survival laws of the animal kingdom have evolved unchanged from ancient times to the present, and as the ruler of this world, human beings are not far away, engaged in a grand battle for hegemony.

At the corner of the bay.

A convoy of more than a dozen merchant ships flying the flag of the Hellenic Free Trade Association set sail, and their final destination was the war-torn port of Bell, and the baggage on these merchant ships was very important, and they were an important supply to keep the Roman Iberian army on the fight.

Under the continuous blows of the Qin army and the Carthaginian coalition army, the Roman army on the western front was defeated and retreated, if there was no strong support, the fall of Port Belle would not be far away, and in order to continue to maintain the western front, under the strict order of Scipio, the Roman fleet that had been cowering in the port of Genoa finally went to sea.

This time, they were careful and cautious, and they chose to fly the flag of the Greek merchant group and set sail, and the Greeks remained neutral in this great battle between Qin and Rome, but due to the defection of Gemetheus and Dicar, important figures of the Lycion Academy, the relationship between Greece and Qin was good, and the new commander of the Roman fleet hoped to confuse his opponent and win a chance for himself to return smoothly.

However, he did not know that in the waters of Corsica, not far from Genoa, more than 30 warships of the Qin army were already waiting for the Romans to throw themselves into the net like sharks with huge mouths open.

This is an era of the jungle.

This is an era when the strong are king.

Once you become weak, you may summon invisible killers from different levels to round up, although the news of the Romans in the port of Genoa is very tight, but the Gallic sailors they hired still leaked the information of the fleet's voyage.

Although Pelius, the Roman mercenary general, had no way to break into the hinterland of the Apennine Peninsula, his surrender still caused cracks in the Roman Republic. The Romans, who were inadequately populated and highly dependent on mercenaries from the occupied territories, gradually weakened their centripetal force in the unfavorable situation of the battlefield, and the Gauls were a clear example.

On the second day of October, early in the morning.

The strong swirling trade winds of the Mediterranean sent a mixed Roman fleet disguised as a Greek caravan to the vicinity of Corsica, a reef-strewn area that became a graveyard for the burial of the new Roman fleet.

Thirty against twelve.

In terms of numbers, the Qin fleet had an absolute advantage, and in terms of morale, the sailors of the Qin fleet with experience in the naval battle of Andrea Island were not comparable to the soldiers of the new Roman fleet requisitioned by merchant sailors.

When the sun set, the last two surviving ships of the Roman fleet had to withdraw from the battlefield, they failed, and they were defeated very badly, and Scipio's cronies, who had been the commander of the new fleet for less than two years, were also killed in this battle, and the next Mediterranean Sea would be the place where the Qin fleet crisscrossed.
