There is no escape!

Faced with a blockaded port, the Skeleton Pirates are like a pack of trapped beasts, struggling and helpless.

From 26 to 27 April, the Battle of Crete lasted a whole day and a night, and the final result ended with the hasty escape of the pirates, and the twelve pirate ships that pursued the Greek merchant ships finally escaped only the outermost three small sloops, and as for the first seven large ships that rushed into the harbor, two were sunk, and the remaining five were captured by the Qin army.

In terms of personnel, the pirate leader Grell was killed in the sea by Ray in a fight, although there is also a thunder word in the name, but the East Thunder is obviously better than the West Ray, Greer's body sank to the bottom of the sea, reduced to a delicious meal for fish, as for the other pirates, there were more than 600 people killed, and 56 surrendered, from this number, it can also be seen that the skeleton pirates are indeed fierce, and in the face of a desperate situation, they can still trap the beast.

On the Qin side, Lei was overwhelmed by the ship and sank in the harbor, and the rest of the warships were not seriously damaged, and they could continue to be used after some repairs, of course, the shortest repair process would not be less than a month, in terms of soldier losses, the Qin army lost 266 people killed in this battle, and 318 people were injured, which was much stronger than the pirate side, of course, this was mainly because the Qin army was the victorious side.

Naval warfare is no better than land warfare, once defeated, except for the lucky escape from the battlefield on the ship, the remaining defeated soldiers can only surrender, or die in the sea with the sunken battleship.

"The invincible skeleton pirates were defeated, and they were shut down and beaten, and they had little to fight back?" Dikar trembled and leaned against a stone by the dock, staring blankly at the burning sea, what had just happened made him unable to believe it.

When did the Qin navy become so strong? They were this time last year. The army has just been formed in the port of Troy, and the guy from Gemitius and the students of the Lycaon Academy are also helping to supervise the construction of warships, and the Romans also have three-decker oars on the sea, which is not unusual, but as soon as the Qin army uses it, it can exert such great power.

What shocked Dikar was the unknown thing that could produce a huge blast wave, an explosion that could kill and injure people in an instant, compared to a single bow and crossbow. This mysterious weapon that can explode is several times more lethal.

Gan Yong's ship has docked.

With a sigh of relief, he didn't care about counting the results of the battle, so he shouted eagerly: "General Lei of the third ship, have you seen it?" ”

The soldiers on the left and right all lowered their heads and were speechless, at this time, the battlefield was still in chaos, and there were not many floating corpses on the sea, and it was impossible to tell who was coming, but just now. Gan Yong clearly saw that the bow of the third ship was raised high, and then the entire battleship sank into the sea in an extremely tragic form, and all the personnel on the ship did not know whether they were alive or dead.

"General. Ray may have jumped into the sea by the general, and just now, his subordinates saw a pirate on his ship-! It was a long time before the captain who landed on the shore whispered.

"Jump into the sea. It's not time to find it. Gan Yong said angrily. Lei was a rising star in the Qin army, and his ability was also quite outstanding, so Gan Yong naturally didn't want it. The generals and colonels of his subordinates were lost because of the war.

Ray was lying on the plank, and the injuries under his flank, a large amount of blood loss, made him feel groggy and groggy, as if he was weighed on by a thousand pounds of weight.

If it dragged on like this, Lei Quilt's life would be suspended, but fortunately, at this time, the battle on the sea was almost over, and Lei Quilt's body began to drift to the shore with the current.

"Look, who's that?" A Qin soldier in charge of salvaging the floating corpse shouted loudly. Immediately, he used the spear in his hand to pluck Ray's stiffened body.

Thunder's body fell together, and when he was pulled and sunk, the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea were salty and salty, flowing into his throat, making him almost out of breath.

"Ahem!" The suffocation caused Ray to cough violently, and it was his light cough that saved his life.

"Quick, still alive, this brother is still alive!" The salvaged soldier shouted in surprise, and he didn't have time to look closely, he didn't expect that the person who rescued him would be a big man, the commander of the third ship.

Dongyang City.

The county guards the mansion of Huan Chu.

The whole night was brightly lit, and since the Great Qin Navy went into battle, Li Yuan moved forward and moved his base camp from Xin'an City to the Dongyang area. If it weren't for Lu Jia, Jia Yi and others trying to dissuade them, he would still want to board the ship in person and fight with the naval officers.

"It's cold in the heights, how good it would be on the battlefield!" Li Yuan was pacing back and forth in the conference hall, and in the side hall on one side, Sima Sima at all levels was nervously reporting the latest battle situation.

"Bixia, General Gan Yong has reported, our fleet has set off, and no abnormalities have been found in the Crete area!"

"Report, the Roman Grand Fleet is still in the vicinity of Pella, there is no sign of eastward advance, and the pirate fleet has taken the bait and is chasing the merchant ships of the Greeks."

"Report, our fleet fought fiercely with the enemy in the harbor, the third ship was shot and capsized, the second ship was damaged and withdrew from the battle, the enemy's second ship sank, and the rest of the ships are in a fierce battle."

The battle situation transmitted back from the front made Li Yuan restless, and the naval battle was no better than the land battle, for the Qin army, this was a big battle in an unfamiliar battlefield environment.

"Report, Bixia, great victory, our navy has completely annihilated the pirate fleet, the enemy chief Grell has been awarded, and there is not one in ten skeleton fleets!" Just when Li Yuan was uneasy, Huan Chu rushed in striding in with a silk letter in his hand.

"Annihilation of the pirate fleet, is this true?" Li Yuan was taken aback and asked, not only him, but also Lu Jia, Jia Yi and other civil officials on the left and right also looked over.

Huan Chu waved his hand excitedly and said: "Bixia, it's true, General Gan has set up an ambush in the Bay of Crete, and the pirate fleet is counted in the bay, and our army is closed and beats the dogs, happy!" ”

Huan Chu said while presenting the battle report ahead, Li Yuan took it and looked at it, but saw a few lines of Gan Yong's handwriting scribbled, and simply reported the loss figures of both sides, although the losses of the Qin army were not large, but the serious injury of Lei was still made Li Yuan's heart tighten.

"General Huan, immediately tell Gan Yong, when he returns to the division in triumph, I will personally go to the military port to pick up the wind and dust for them, and welcome the return of my warriors of Daqin." Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

Great Qin Navy.

The First World War is known all over the world.

The outcome of the battle at sea on the island of Crete was like a wind with wings, blowing across the entire Mediterranean. In Egypt, the descendants of ancient civilizations opened their mouths wide one by one, hardly believing this fact; In Carthage, Hannibal, the regained power, was thoughtful; In Rome, Scipio, who had been in power for less than three months, stared gloomily at the naval commander Crassus in front of him, and anger was about to explode from the bottom of his heart.

"General Crassus, is your fleet still in Pella? Such a big thing happened in Crete, and you even told me that you don't know, are you eating? ”

"Subordinate, subordinate—!" Crassus's mouth twitched a few times, trying to justify something.

"What else do you have to say, that fool of Greel, that the Greeks are so easy to do with merchant ships? He doesn't have brains, are you Crassus also a pig? Scipio was furious.

"Great Consul, the Qin people just won by luck this time, according to the pirates who came back, Grell was also desperate, and no less than five Qin ships were sunk." Crassus wiped the cold sweat from his head, and his fat body trembled, and said.

"What you said is useless, the Qin people have won, this is the most important thing. Next, Carthage, Greece, Egypt, these hostile peoples will turn to the Qin people even more, and the situation of our Great Rome will become very difficult, so for the glory of Rome, the hegemony of the sea must not be left behind. Scipio snapped, and the majesty of the superior emanated from it, silencing Crassus, an old subordinate.

Profiting from the power struggle at home and successfully ousting Fabian Shili made Scipio angry, but he also knew that this power base was still fragile, and if he did not make a military difference, the conservative Shili of the Senate would make a comeback.

Crassus wiped the order of the Khan and retreated, and went down in a rage to reorganize the naval fleet, trying to regain a city, Scipio's anger made him very stressed, to be honest, Grell had informed him before attacking, but Crassus only thought it was an ordinary pirate raid, and did not take it seriously.

Originally, Scipio used Greer's shili to be able to plunder merchant ships in secret, even if the merchants had opinions, they did not dare to pick it out, and now, when the Qin people appeared on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea with a strong attitude, whether the merchants would listen to Rome or not needed to be further considered.

What bothered Scipio was not only the sea, but also in the Balkans, the life of the Petrius Gallic Legion was not easy, and the Thracians who had surrendered to Rome had recently repeated signs, and Adehiria, a coward, needless to say, actively promoted the strength of Qin to his compatriots on the Roman side by virtue of the strong name of the Qin army, and at the same time, among the Thracian warriors, a young hero rose - Spartacus.

This ordinary soldier in the First Battle of Constantinople, after just one year of training in the Qin army, quickly grew into an excellent general, his sensitivity and courage, so that the Gallic generals who opposed him were repeatedly frustrated, and holding the border line became an unattainable dream.

In the Sava River valley, Spartacus led 2,000 Thracian warriors to break through the moat, leaving the Gauls behind, and their surprise attack cut off the main force of the Gallic army in the city of Pera from the front, and Pedeus had no choice but to order a retreat again and again.
