The couch crossbow is powerful!

This was a plan that the Qin army had been planning for a long time. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info.

After the thunderbolts were fired, the ships of the Qin army, which were in a good position, were also using this new type of weapon to put pressure on the Romans.

Couch crossbows are fired one by one! The wind and waves are getting stronger and stronger in the night wind. The two Roman ships, desperate to dodge the crossbow bolts, made a mistake and hit the bottom of the ship by a reef, and the Roman soldiers who could not stand on the capsized deck fell into the sea one after another.

"Lean up, lean up-, don't let the Qin people distance themselves!" Crassus shouted loudly. The formation of the Roman fleet turned sharply in the night, and Crassus's ship spotted Gan Yong's flagship, which was in the center of a large number of Qin ships, and he decided to take his men to kill him and capture the Qin commander in one fell swoop.

Melee.

The Roman soldiers had experience in engaging in battle, and the tall springboard could ensure that the Roman soldiers could board the enemy ship smoothly, and at the same time, the concentrated use of javelins could also make the enemy's resistance come to naught.

As soon as the new move of the Romans was performed, Lei Bei, who had been eyeing Crassus early in the morning, was killed from the flank, and Lei Bei, who was determined to avenge the return of the ship, stared at the red eyes one by one, and used all his strength to fight the enemy.

"Damn, get in the way of these a**!" Crassus screamed viciously, giving the impression that he was extremely dissatisfied. Although the detachment of the thunder was brave, if it was a close combat, it should not be the opponent of the Roman soldiers, but the current battle situation is that most of the Roman ships are entangled and cannot move.

The clock ticks by.

One ship after another withdrew from the battlefield or was sunk in the sea, while more ships of both sides were staggered, side to side, soldiers on both sides holding weapons and fighting with all their might.

Ray was covered in blood.

The seven warships of the left fleet broke into the Roman fleet for a long time, and three more sank in the fierce battle, and the remaining four, including the ships with the thunder quilt, were all scarred, and even the safe exit from the battlefield could not be.

In contrast, the situation of Gan Yong's middle fleet was much better, due to the blockage of the thunder, Crassus's assault did not cause much damage to the main fleet of the Qin army, and Gan Yong continued to command the Qin ships to encircle and intercept the Romans with a detached attitude.

――。

On the Roman side.

Crassus had used all his strength.

But his efforts could not be exchanged for a happy victory, the Qin army on the opposite side was like kraft candy, clinging to the most important part of the Romans, and what made Crassus even more angry was that due to malnutrition and sepsis, the melee combat skills that the Roman soldiers were proud of in the past also lost their effect.

Relying on the crossbows fired in bursts, the Qin soldiers who had mastered the new weapons could shoot and kill the opponents besieging them at close range, while the Roman soldiers were unfamiliar with this method of the Qin army, and suffered a series of losses in the first engagement.

In the middle of the night.

On the surface of Cape André, the wrecks of Roman warships can be seen everywhere. The Roman fleet, which had exhausted almost all its strength, lost more than twenty ships, much to Crassus' consternation.

"General, we can't fight any more, the enemy fleet has only dispatched more than 20 warships, there may be tricks here, if they still retain a fresh force, then we will be in danger." Crassus also has cronies by his side, and this time when it is difficult to ride a tiger, it is a critical node for them to speak.

"Do the Qin people still have strength?" Crassus only felt that his head was foggy for a while, and just now it was getting dark, and he only cared about chasing and killing, but he did not carefully count the number of enemy ships that appeared on the battlefield.

"General, my subordinates have carefully counted, the most fierce thing is the small fleet that lured us here, although they look very powerful, but in fact they are only seven or eight ships, and the main fleet of the Qin army near the bay is about fifteen ships, so calculated, the Qin people still have about ten ships that do not know where to go, at the time of this war, it is impossible for the Qin people to keep these warships without leaving the port, so-!" In order to save his surname, Crassus's wise men also used all their tricks.

"Then what are you waiting for, order, retreat!" Crassus shouted, and hurriedly gave the order for the whole fleet to retreat, for him, stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, although he may be dismissed and held accountable when he goes back, but at least he can save his life, and if he continues to fight with the Qin fleet, he will really be buried in this nameless sea.

――。

The Romans are fleeing!

From the signs of panic on the other side, Gan Yong was keenly aware that the battle situation was about to undergo major changes, and the continuous fierce battle for nearly a day and a half night had exhausted the sharpness and patience of the Romans to the extreme, and at this time, the Qin army, which had been accumulating strength, was finally about to exert its strength.

"Give General Hu an order, attack!"

"Don't let an enemy ship escape!"

Gan Yong's command was short and direct, like a powerful crossbow bolt that struck the heart of the Romans. After receiving the order, the right flotilla, which had been waiting for a long time in the other corner of the bay, held their breath and added all their strength to swinging the oars.

"Brothers, it's time to eat meat, we can't let Lei be laughed at by that kid!" Hu shouted in a thick voice to a group of former thieves who had been following him for a long time.

There are thieves and thieves.

Although the old leader Peng Yue has gone into hiding, but under the leadership of Hu Yu, the bandits have joined the Great Qin Navy with a new attitude, and they think they are the all-powerful Jianghe boats, so they naturally do not admit that they will lose to a group of hairy boys.

The appearance of the murderous and morale-boosting fleet became the last straw that crushed the Romans. On the way to retreat, the remnants of Crassus's ships had long been discouraged, and they were even more frightened when they saw that there were indeed Qin ships killed, for them who had been deceived by the Qin people this time, such a nightmare trip could only be forgotten as soon as possible.

The fleet pursued all the way.

From Kitty to the vicinity of Crete, and then from the Aegean Sea to the Adriatic Sea, Crassus, who fled in disarray, went from having nearly 30 warships left, to only three lone warships left by his side, and his tragic situation made people cry when they saw it.

What made the Romans even more desperate than the loss of many ships was that Crassus, the commander of the Grand Fleet, after suffering a series of heavy blows, fell ill and finally died of coughing up blood under the pressure of internal and external troubles. (To be continued.) )
