No matter how Timistocles commanded, the fleet inevitably collided.

The bronze horns placed in the bow of the ship are indeed sharp, not only to ram the Persian battleship very bullish, but also to bump into its own people, which is not inferior in the slightest; 10 battleships, which were smashed into the belly by their own warships, the icy sea water poured madly in, and the oarsmen in the lower deck had nowhere to escape, and were suffocated alive in the cabin; The 10 Delian Alliance warships, which could no longer control the constantly tilting hulls, sank into the sea one after another, leaving a large pile of floating objects on the surface of the sea, as well as soldiers who jumped into the sea to escape.

For Themistocles, the loss of 10 ships was painful, but even worse was the loss of speed and formation of the entire fleet.

The Spartan fleet, of course, was not going to miss this great opportunity.

The Spartan 201-class battleship fired a giant crossbow and burrowed into the belly of the Delian alliance warship; On the surface deck of the battleship, dozens of naval soldiers turned the rollers and reeled the twine, while below the deck, 170 oarsmen were paddling with their lives; Under the dual power effect, the 201-class battleship went straight to the belly of the opponent's ship at "high speed"; Well, this so-called "high speed" is relative to the speed of a triremes fighting with the power of the oars alone.

The Aggrieved Delos Alliance battleship not only lost its speed, but was also targeted by its opponents, and the officers and men tried every means to try to turn the ship; From the bottom of their hearts, the officers and men of the battleship did not expect to avoid the impact of the Spartan battleship, they only expected to be able to meet the impact with their own bow, but the efforts of turning the rudder or adjusting the oars were to no avail.

The barbed giant crossbow and the straight hemp rope were designed to allow the Spartan warship to firmly control the opponent's hull posture and carry out the action of hitting the belly of the ship with relative ease; And the huge crossbow arrows nailed into the belly of the ship are near the waterline, and it is not easy to cut the hemp rope. Some of the captains of the Delos Alliance warships with bright brains finally thought that they had to arrange for someone to hang the rope down to cut the hemp rope, otherwise they could not change the status quo; However, it will take a little time to do these things, and the Spartan battleship is already close at hand.

One after another, the warships of the Delian League were rammed and sunk, but the Spartan warships were not greedy for merit, and when they struck a successful blow, they immediately cut the hemp rope and retreated to the camp; The warships of the Delian League, despite their disadvantaged position, fought bravely; In the melee, many Delian Alliance warships caught the fighter plane and successfully crashed into the belly of the Spartan battleship, but something surprising happened to them!

The triremes of the Spartans actually carried the impact!

The design of the watertight compartment greatly improved the lateral strength of the hull of the 201-class Spartan battleship, and the Delian Alliance battleship accelerated its collision in a hurry, which only caused some officers and soldiers on the Spartan battleship to fall and make a false alarm; Of course, damage to the hull of the Spartan battleship is inevitable, and several battleships that have been hit more seriously still have some cracks in the hull, but after all, it is not a big hole, and it can be remedied.

As time went on, the number of warships in the fleet of the Delian Alliance became smaller and smaller; With Themistocles' ship sinking to the bottom of the sea, there were only 12 triremes and 14 direes left in the Delian fleet; Of the 138 Spartan Navy 201-class triremes, one was unsunk, and only 5 battleships had to withdraw from the battle because of excessive flooding.

Looking at the 133 Spartan warships that had regrouped and surrounded them, the 26 battleships of the Delian Alliance gave up their desperate plans and turned around and went straight to the port; In a panic, they forgot that not far from the battlefield, there were 50 Spartan 101-class warships eyeing over; The dense escape formation just provided a great opportunity for Yuribiad to be covered by firepower.

200 boulders fell one after another, leaving behind 7 triremes and 5 two-oars; Only 14 Delian warships fled into the harbor in embarrassment and washed straight onto the beach; The sailors who had narrowly escaped jumped off the battleship and ran to the coast.

Because the battleship was burned, more than 60,000 officers and sailors of the Delian League have been watching the naval battle from the coast; They had hoped that Themistocles would once again avenge the loss of their ships by winning more with less, and by defeating the stronger with the weak.

The idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel.

From the very beginning of the naval battle, the situation was one-sided, and the Delian alliance navy basically had no room to fight back, even worse than the Persians, because they did not take out even a single Spartan trireme, let alone a large warship that threw boulders in the rear.

Believe it or not, the facts are right in front of you.

50 Spartan 101-class sail warships were slowly sailing into the port with great vigor, and the "Leonida" battleship took the lead, and encountered the wreckage of the Delian Alliance warship exposed from the bottom of the ship along the way. The 101-class battleship, which has greatly increased its hull strength, relies on its huge hull and slow speed, ignoring these tattered things floating on the sea; As for the Delian Alliance navy that soaked in the sea water and begged for help, the Spartans did not shake it off, according to Leonidas's fighting style, now they do not fall into the sea, even if the Spartans are kind.

The Delian Alliance naval soldiers on the shore held weapons and glared angrily at the slowly approaching Spartan Imperial fleet, as long as the Spartan Navy dared to land, nearly 70,000 Delian Alliance naval forces would fight them on land.

The Spartan fleet slowly stopped, and Wang Jun looked at the Delian Alliance soldiers more than 200 meters away, densely packed in a large area; 70,000 people, which is indeed a lot, far more than the number of soldiers struggling in the sea outside the harbor; As for the fire-breathing eyes of these Delos Alliance naval soldiers, Wang Jun completely ignored them, and their eyes would not kill people anyway.

Wang Jun's gaze crossed the angry Delian naval officers and sailors on the coast and looked to the northwest of the coast; Calculate the time, Leonidas and they, should have arrived.

A little further northeast of the pier is the high walls of the city of Athens; In the early morning, the news of the attack on the Delian Alliance navy had already spread throughout the city, and most of the huge alliance fleet had been destroyed, which had already made the people in the city worried; And now, the entire fleet is completely finished, and nearly 70,000 naval officers and men have all become "land forces."

All right! Calimaya immediately mobilized all the armies and drained the guards of the Athenian walls; The little-known Spartan Navy is here, will the army be far away?

Now that Themistocles was hanging, Kalima became the military governor of Athens; The field war and the Spartans did it, but Kalimaya was not interested, and knew that the 70,000 army would definitely not be able to fight the 100,000 Spartan army; However, after fighting the city, Calimaya believed that he could make the Spartans lose their troops and retreat.

The navy bizarrely preserved 70,000 men, and although they did not have the expertise of the army to fight on land, they could also greatly strengthen the defense of the city of Athens; The only problem is that the sea power is gone, and the supply of the army and the residents has become a headache; The supplies in the city of Athens were only enough for hundreds of thousands of people to consume for half a month.

Calimaya stood on the southwestern wall of Athens and looked out at the port, only to see the unwilling naval soldiers still on the shore, a large black oppression; There are dozens of huge Spartan warships moored in the sea of the harbor, and even if they are separated by 4 kilometers, you can still feel the sheer size.

Hey?

Out of the corner of Kalimaya's eye, he suddenly saw a large dark shadow on the northwest side of the pier; I turned my head to the right and looked, and it was miserable!

About 3 kilometers northwest of the wharf, it is a small mountain range, and the highest peak is only more than 500 meters; In Kalimaya's sight, a large army was emerging from the mountains and heading for the docks.

Spartan Army!

Calimaya was not a fool, and reacted immediately, yelling at the arrangers to go to the docks to report that all those stupid naval officers and sailors must be pulled into the city, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

In the port of Piraes, Yuri Biad and his own naval officers and sailors were engaged in a fierce "curse war" with the naval officers and sailors of the Delian Alliance on the coast; The two sides are separated by more than 200 meters, and it is not easy to carry out a "scolding war".

Relatively speaking, Yuri Biad had the upper hand, 50 101-class ships, 5 damaged 201-class ships, all of them combined, more than 20,000 people; There were also 133 warships with more than 20,000 people, who stayed outside the port to serve as guards, clean up the battlefield, and did not come to help.

The 70,000 men and men of the Delian Coalition on the coast should have the upper hand, but now they were overpowered by the Spartans; Everyone scolded each other, there was a commotion, chaos, and the sad one was in the downwind position.

And Yuribiad, on the other hand, is definitely organized and disciplined and neatly scolded, with simple vocabulary, and the Spartans have a concise and clear vocabulary; The most advantageous, the Spartans were in the upper hand, and the neat and loud shouts and curses drifted with the wind to the shore 200 meters away, infuriating the gray-faced Delian League officers and men to death.

Along the cable, Wang Jun climbed onto the battleship "Leonida", and his own ship "Yuribiade" was damaged, fortunately there was a sealed cabin, and the battleship did not sink, but it was also in a semi-paralyzed state; It's still a good shade for the tree, you look at the "Leonida", not half a hair is damaged!

No wonder Yuri Biad never wanted to stay on the 201-class battleship that bears his name.

The Delian Navy soldiers were very annoyed, the Spartans were too arrogant, not to mention destroying their own fleet, but also insulting their own wisdom, if there is a kind of you ashore!

The officers and sailors of the Delian League, who had suffered from the boulders, were either still soaking in the sea or became food for fish; The vast majority of naval officers and sailors on the coast have not personally experienced the power of the Spartan trebuchet, and everyone believes that the Spartan navy will not dare to land, so they slowly lose their vigilance, and 70,000 people are densely piled on the coast.

Some of the angry Delian soldiers shot at the Spartan warship with bows and arrows, and the distance of more than 200 meters was far from the range that ordinary bows and arrows could reach, and they could only float weakly on the sea, which caused the ridicule of the Spartans even more.

"Woman! You are women! "Yuri Biad took the lead in howling, crippled the enemy, and was able to fight leisurely and curse at the bow of the ship, which is indeed comfortable; In the Spartan lexicon, the comparison of a man to a woman is the greatest insult.

Wang Jun looked at the excited Yuri Biad speechlessly, and wondered if this product was possessed by the plug-in system, how could he be so happy to have a scolding war; Yuri Biad arranged more than 20,000 soldiers, divided into three groups to take turns to "curse the battle", whether it was the sound or the continuous surname, they were stronger than the Delian Alliance Navy, and the "results" were gratifying.

"Enemy ...... Raid! West...... North, enemy attack! ”

A small detachment of Athenian troops ran out of breath and rushed close to the noisy shore, eyes full of the back of their heads; The officers and men of the Delian Alliance were all red-eyed, and they scolded one by one with a dry tongue and an astringent throat.

It's funny to say that if they are really given a hundred warships now, they actually don't have the courage to go up and fight the Spartan navy again; As a navy, they actually feel down-to-earth and have a sense of security in their hearts; After getting rid of the fire, most of the warships were consumed, and the remaining hundred or so warships were tortured by the Spartans and could not find the north, leaving them with no sharp energy.

The so-called "scolding war" is just a hysterical expression of the more than 70,000 naval officers and men who are intertwined with complex emotions of frustration, fear, and hatred. Of course, for Yuri Biad, the "scolding war" is something that starts unintentionally, deliberately and continuously.

Tens of thousands of people marched, the earth was trembling slightly, and even if Karimaya didn't send someone to report it, the 70,000 Delian Alliance naval officers and sailors on the coast would only be discovered a little bit later.

If, after most of the ships were burned, the officers and men of the Delian League, who had lost their ships, chose to return to Athens, they would not have met the Spartan army on this plain; If all the officers and men of the Delian League on the coast chose to withdraw to the city of Athens when the Spartan ships entered the port, they could still barely enter the city of Athens; If the "Great Wall" from the city of Athens to the port of Piraes was completed, they would still be able to return to the city of Athens through the "Great Wall" in relative safety, and it would not have cost much.

Pity!

Even if this is a movie world, even if this world has obvious mythological overtones, there will not be so many "ifs".

The war of insults stopped, and it was the officers and men of the Delian League who stopped first.

Non-stop, no.

In the northwest direction, the fierce Spartan Army began to spread out its formation a kilometer away, rapidly approaching; Close to the queue to the west, the nearest Delian Alliance naval officer and sailor, is already less than 800 meters away!

The Athenian army could run, and the Spartans could run even more!

If it weren't for the sake of preserving the warriors' physical strength, Leonidas would have arrived near the harbor before the warning team sent by Calimaya; In terms of distance alone, Leonidas took advantage of 1 kilometer.

In order to be able to settle Greece in a war, Wang Jun advised Leonidas to bring as many men and horses as possible.

10,000 Spartan royal guards poured out, and Spartan was left to be guarded by the young and old warriors;

3,000 longbowmen and 40,000 Spartan Wehrmacht troops were also brought, followed by 40,000 Spartan militiamen;

Far behind the ranks were a troop of 3,000 trebuchets and 20,000 heuros accompanying the army.

Leonidas left only 10,000 Spartan militiamen to garrison the cities of Patras and Argos, both of which were forcible and relegated to the rank of black-lab, and the local nobles and citizens who were demoted to the rank of black-laborers were numerous and had to maintain military pressure; For the sake of security, a new conscription order was issued on the expedition to the front of Oneidad, planning to conscript 10,000 Spartan militia and inform the whole of the Peloponnese.

This conscription order made the millions of black laborers in high spirits, not only working hard, but also spontaneously forming a supervision team to target those who came from the Ahamia and Argos regions and were newly demoted to black laborers; These former nobles or citizens were "enthusiastically" cared for by their former slaves, and there was no room for resistance.

People's hearts are so cruel, everyone is a black laborer, but when a group has the opportunity to "turn over and develop", it will unceremoniously deal with another black labor group.

The 70,000 and so Delian League officers and sailors could not buy regret medicine, so they could only face the facts.

Since he couldn't escape, he had to incarnate as an "army" and fight a bloody battle with the Spartans; The Delian Alliance Navy, which has fallen into hysteria, is not blindly arrogant, they are still very confident.

Four kilometers away, there were 70,000 Delian troops in the city of Athens; On the coast, densely packed with 70,000 transformed alliance "army".
