Camos is the concubine of a small Persian nobleman, even if he is a nobleman's concubine in Persia, he does not have any inheritance rights, and generally a small Persian nobleman like Camos will choose to join the army, only in this way can they regain the title through military exploits.

The concubines of these minor nobles received a long and good military education from an early age, so they were often used as junior officers in the main Persian army after entering the army, so that when they experienced war, these people often easily made contributions.

Camos's two older brothers took this path, and of course not only Camos's older brother, but also many of his peers who knew him.

Camos, however, was reluctant to follow this path, and for decades and centuries the Persians had been engaged in large-scale warfare with the Huns (White Huns) in the Transoxiana region.

During this period, the fighting power of the Huns was so strong that the main army of Persia was proud of suffered successive defeats after encountering the Huns' cavalry on the battlefield, causing a large number of military deaths for a time, and the small nobles who were grassroots officers were of course also suffering heavy casualties.

When the news reached the home of Camos's two older brothers, who were already mid-level officers, were killed in battle, Camos's father, in grief, finally decided not to let Camos enter the army, but to switch to business.

The Persian Empire was different from ancient China's heavy agriculture and suppression of commerce, and Persia, which was at the junction of the East and West of the Silk Road, and obtained extremely rich profits from the trade between the East and the West, knew very well the importance of commerce to itself, so it was not surprising that the children of small nobles were engaged in business.

It's just that when other nobles participate in business, they basically take advantage of their aristocratic status to sit on the ground and do business, and very few of them run the ocean trade in person, after all, the navigation technology at this time is still very backward, and the danger of ships on the sea discourages these nobles.

Anyway, as long as you buy goods here in Persia and then resell them to the Roman Empire in the West at a high price, you can get extremely rich profits, so why take such a huge risk to run ocean transportation?

For the advice of some people, Camos is not unaware of such dangers, but as an ordinary small nobleman, he can only get a very small profit, and the big head is still taken by the royal family and the big nobles, and if he wants to go further, he can only go to the east in person.

Fortunately, the Persian Empire also had a large number of merchants, and the number of merchant ships traveling between the East and the West was not a small number, so Camos quickly made a fortune with the help of some people, and his family's status in the Persian Empire continued to rise.

Now that Camos is in his forties, when he saw He Liang's caravan in the port city near Susa, Persia, a few months ago, he immediately felt that a crisis for the Persian merchants seemed to be coming, because if the Orientals, who produced silk and porcelain, personally traded with the East and the West, they would definitely have a greater advantage than the Persians when trading with the Romans.

Although Camos was very reluctant for the Orientals to come here, he had no better way to prevent He Liang from coming here, and now a large-scale war broke out between He Liang and Nan Tianzhu, which was undoubtedly good news for Camos.

At the beginning, in order to build the city quickly, He Liang purchased a large number of materials from maritime merchants from various countries, and Camos also made a fortune, when the army of Nantianzhu approached, the merchant ships of various countries fled in order not to be injured by mistake, but Camos just commanded his fleet to sail away for a while and stopped.

After the three Persian merchant ships turned around on the sea for half an hour, they stopped far away on the sea twenty miles east of the Pearl Islands, where there were no islands and reefs for dozens of miles, and the sea had a wide field of vision, so there was no need to worry about being attacked by people.

In addition, if the people of Nantianzhu want to fight their own merchant ships, the distance of such twenty miles, Camos will have enough time to escape in time, so this is a safe distance for Camos, and he intends to wait quietly here for He Liang's destruction.

Camos is not optimistic about He Liang, not because he doesn't know the strength of He Liang and Du Sheng's fleet, but because the strength of the Nantianzhu people this time is too strong, the number of the navy alone is as many as more than 10,000 people, and three or four hundred warships of all sizes almost cover the entire sea.

In addition, there are more than 10,000 people in the Nantianzhu infantry army that came with the ship, so many people came to attack a small Pearl Port, even if a part of the city has been built on it, but in the face of the attack of such a powerful army, it will not last long.

At this time, Du Sheng on the sea was close to the Pearl Port and more than ten miles of sea, and once again launched a counterattack against the Nantianzhu Naval Army, but Ququ's twenty warships, even if they could stop a hundred Nantianzhu warships, there were two or three hundred that could attack the Pearl Port.

Sure enough, after the enraged Nantianzhu people sent nearly a hundred warships to besiege Du Sheng, the other hundreds of warships continued to move forward without hesitation, and when they saw that there was another small castle nearby in Pearl Harbor, they immediately did not hesitate to divide a part of the fleet and sail there. Ivy

In the eyes of the Nantianzhu army, they have hundreds of warships and tens of thousands of troops, if the other party only has one city, it will cause too few attack surfaces and cannot be used.

Twenty miles away, although Camos could not see the details of the battle on each of the ships on both sides, he could still see the battle of the fleet on the sea very clearly, and the telescopes in the East China Sea had gradually leaked out because of the large production volume over the years, even if the management was strict.

Camos has such a telescope in his hand, of course, it is only a relatively backward telescope produced by Liulifang on Jeju Island in the past, but this one is also a telescope that he bought from secret channels at a great cost, and now he is just observing the big battle on the sea.

He clearly saw that when nearly 300 warships from Nantianzhu approached Mingzhu Harbor, a fleet suddenly appeared from the side of the Pearl Harbor island, a very small fleet, and the entire fleet consisted of only a dozen warships.

Such a small fleet composed of warships seemed so weak and helpless in front of the powerful fleet composed of hundreds of ships of the Nantianzhu Naval Army, but this fleet of more than ten ships still did not hesitate to meet it.

Seeing this scene, Camos couldn't help but shake his head, he admired the fighting will of these Han people, but in the face of such a powerful Nantianzhu naval army, their efforts were useless no matter what, after all, such a huge difference in strength could not be made up for by some heroic spirit.

In Camos's view, the best way to fight these ships was to fight, using the speed advantage of his ships to constantly harass them, so that the Nantianzhu Navy could not land without scruples.

Sure enough, these dozen or so Han ships didn't dare to really meet them directly, they just kept firing rockets and other weapons around the fleet of the Nantianzhu people, and some of the ships of the Nantianzhu people began to catch fire, although they were quickly extinguished by the sailors on the ship, but they also caused some trouble to the Nantianzhu people.

However, the numerical advantage of the Nantianzhu people is too huge, and such a dozen ships cannot stop the advance of the Nantianzhu people after all.

Such a difference in strength seemed so frustrating to others, but the Han soldiers on these dozen ships still insisted on attacking nearby, and finally the Nantianzhu naval army finally couldn't bear it anymore and sent a fleet of up to fifty warships to expel the fleet.

This fleet of Han people was pinned, but the Nantianzhu people still had as many as more than 200 warships gradually approaching the Pearl Harbor, in Camos's opinion, as long as the Nantianzhu people landed, I am afraid that it would not be a few hours before the whole war would end.

However, things in reality will always be full of countless changes, fifty Nantianzhu naval forces and more than a dozen warships that meet the battle are constantly changing formations to fight, the Xia army's naval army is constantly using its own ship performance advantages to make up for its own numerical shortcomings, and the Nantianzhu naval army is bent on getting close to the Xia army's warships and conducting broadside battles.

In this way, the two sides fought and acted, and unconsciously came to the sea near a small island more than ten miles southwest of Pearl Harbor, and at this moment, dozens of ships of various types, including warships and armed merchant ships, rushed out from the rear of the island.

Seeing the big square-character flags hanging on these ships, the pursuing Nantianzhu Navy finally understood that the other party had deliberately attracted themselves here, and these Xia army warships that had just rushed out had obviously been ambushed here a long time ago.

The dozens of ships that rushed out from behind the island, some of them were warships led by Sun Yu of the Third Fleet, and the other twenty were all the armed merchant ships under He Liang's command.

The Nan Tianzhu Navy also knew their own level, and when they saw the ships that rushed out and the dozen or so ships they were chasing just now, they immediately knew that they were not opponents, so this Nan Tianzhu quickly fled, but it was too late.

Sun Yu's navy had also been replaced with the latest warship produced by the Donghai Zhenhai Shipyard at this time, and the speed of the ship was more than twice that of the Nantianzhu navy.

Most of the naval forces of Nantianzhu, who were preparing to land, discovered the strange situation here at this time, and knew that things were not good, so they immediately sent hundreds of warships to the rescue, but when they arrived, they still lost more than 30 warships.

After Camos, who was standing at the bow of the ship, saw the scene from afar, he was also taken aback by the combat effectiveness of the Xia army, and thinking of this, he continued to stare at the battlefield in the distance thoughtfully.
