Vol 6 Chapter 133: Taranto Sea Battle (5)

The pulp frequency of the upper pulper also changes with the flute sound, the arms are pulled back, the body is tilted back, the legs are stretched, the wood pulp is raised; the arms are pushed forward, the body leans forward, the legs are bent, the wood pulp Inserted obliquely into the seawater, with the natural low-pitched sound of the pulper, the wood pulp draws an arc backwards in the seawater...
Under the leadership of the upper paddlers, the whole boat paddlers struggled to paddle, their bodies continued to lean forward and lean back, even the leather cushions they gave were also due to the oil applied underneath, and the body of the paddlers was small The amplitude slides.
"Hey! Hey!..." The low sign quickly became the same voice, echoing the rhythm of the flute.
Seven knots! Eight knots! Nine sections! Ten festivals! ... The speed of the warship is increasing dramatically.
Zandiparis felt that the whole ship seemed to be floating. The waves coming in and out were getting denser and denser. They hit the head of the ship and turned into a piece of water mist. "哗啦啦" kept pouring on the deck. ......
"Brothers, hold the mast and the crow, be careful!" Captain Midolades loudly reminded the ten deck sailors.
Just shouted two times, the sea water poured on him, and suddenly became a soup chicken.
At this time, the military number is no longer needed, and the speed of the pilotship is a signal, and other warships have begun to accelerate.
Rows of wooden paddles splashed with angry waves, and a warship smashed the fierce waves. The sound of a ship's neat sound was a powerful condemnation of the invaders. In the face of the evil and fierce Syracuse Navy, everyone in the Dionysian fleet has round eyes and full of anger, ready to fight with the enemy!
..............................
Although the people of the Dionys on the shore could not see the panoramic view of the battlefield, they were extremely nervous at the moment, and they watched the rapid approach of the warships on both sides of the sea.
At this moment, regardless of whether they know or don’t know, they are holding hands tightly and shouting loudly to cheer for their loved ones...
..............................
As the Venetian warships got closer and closer, the "crow suspension bridge" that swayed above each warship stern became visible, which made the sailors on the Syracuse warship feel great. Doubt, they have never seen such a strange device, so it is very surprising.
Out of the contempt for the "Rookie Navy" of Dionia, most of them think that this is the result of the Diaonians not knowing about shipbuilding and indiscriminate transformation. With such a mentality, their assault speed is more rapid, the formation is somewhat difficult to maintain, but they do not care, because they think that the warships of Dionia are already in their pockets.
In the vision of Midolades: a three-story paddle boat of Syracuse rushed to him from the oblique front, and the bronze horn of the bow directly stabbed the side of his ship.
He knows that it is very dangerous if his warships are circumvented in a wide range. Because after tens of meters on the side of the enemy ship, followed by another warship, it will crash into the hull that is completely exposed to the ship because of dodge. This is the famous "double column tactic" of the Greek traditional navy.
But Midolades showed a sneer, he did not need to make any instructions, the warship helmsman trained after this time will make the right response.
Sure enough, in the rapid rush, the warship turned slightly to the right and rushed past the ship.
Seeing that the enemy ship was sharply magnified in the eye, Midolades shouted at the bottom of the deck: "Pick up!"
"Pick up!" The sailor long followed and shouted.
The paddlers immediately pulled back their wooden paddles from the window, and the process was a bit confusing because of the tension.
At the same time, the ten sailors on the deck had gathered near the front mast. Some people had untied the ropes that the "crow suspension bridge" attached to the front mast, and then joined forces to hold it, while others turned The pulleys cause the base of the "Crow Suspension Bridge" to rotate.
The captain of the Syracuse warship saw the Dionya warship rushing in the head of the ship. There was still a small part of the boat on the right side left outside the window. My heart was overjoyed: although it failed to hit the hull, it was twisted. Its paddles will also affect the paddle speed of this enemy ship.
When the two sides of the warship were about to be staggered, he turned and prepared to take shelter first, because the distance was so close, it was the deck archers of both sides who played their power. At this moment, he heard a shock of "Boom". The strange device on the head of the Dionian warship fell straight down, and the dragonfly squatted on the deck of his own ship. The entire ship was shaking. The huge force made the front of the ship. The momentum of the rush is a slowdown.
Then, the captain heard a cry from the opposite side: "Brothers, let's play in the team!"
Under the horror of the captain, dozens of Diorian heavy infantry wearing black armor emerged from the other cabin, and quickly rushed to the ship of Syracuse through the device.
It turned out to be a small wooden bridge! The captain only understood it at this time, but it was too late, and how many Syracuse deck sailors who had rushed forward to fight could be the opponents of these wolf-like Deonian soldiers, not being sharp and short. The sword stabbed, it was shot down by the long shield...
The remaining sailors and gazemen faced the Syracuse heavy infantry that rushed to their eyes and could only raise their hands in panic, but the Diaonians apparently did not intend to capture them and stab them one by one.
The captain was so scared that his legs were soft and he sat on the deck.
I heard a person say, "He is the captain, we still need him to control this warship."
"There is a helmsman!" Another voice just fell, and the cold dagger crossed his neck and the blood flowed like a note.
Two soldiers rushed to the stern to capture the helmsman, while the other soldiers rushed directly into the cabin.
The paddlers in the cabin were already panicked and stood up from the leather mats, trying to escape.
The soldiers of the first detachment of the First Team of the First Corps of Dionia yelled: "Come back to the seat!" At the same time, waving long shields and short swords, killing them.
Although there are more than 170 strong men in the cabin, they only want to escape, just like a loose sand, and the naked body is not a little protective.
Soon, the cabin was full of dead bodies and wounded people, and the entire space was stained red with blood.
The remaining paddlers scared the soul out of the body, squatting in the narrow cabin and raising their hands high.
"Go back to your seat, hurry!" At this time, the Dionian soldiers' savage played a role.
The remaining pulpers on the Syracuse ship were squatting and sitting back on the leather mat.
Zandiparis and the captain Inias looked at each other with a look of joy and some unbelievable: this was the first time they had encountered such a relaxed battle, and it was so easy to capture a three-story Paddle warship!
Although Seclany has repeatedly stated in previous trainings: "The Crow Suspension Bridge" will change the tactics of naval warfare and bring a brilliant victory to Dionia!
After personally experiencing this battle, Zandi Paris finally realized how much the seemingly ugly "crow suspension bridge" played!
Thanks to the genius of King Davers! Zantitipis lamented in his heart, but at the moment he was not singing a hymn, he converges and whispers to Inias: "You bring 30 brothers back to the boat, and I can watch it here."
"Captain, is 20 soldiers enough?" Inias asked with a little worry.
Zandiparis glanced at the Syracuse paddlers who were still shaking: "In fact, only ten people are enough."
Inias is no longer modest because they all know that the battle has just begun.
Inias led 30 soldiers, quickly got on the deck, and returned to the ship through the "Crow Suspension Bridge". The remaining soldiers laboriously pulled out the tip of the crow head into the deck, the deck there. The sailors tightened the ropes on the suspension bridge and pulled the 1.2-meter-wide, 12-meter-long wooden bridge with low railings on both sides, hitting the front mast, and the ship in Siracusa was Can be separated.
"Turn the rudder and drive to the beach, or you will have your life!" The Syracuse helmsman had to obey under the threat of the descent of the Dionian soldiers.
In the cabin, Zandiparis stood on the aisle full of dead bodies and blood, with 15 fierce soldiers, screaming in disgust: "You have listened to me! Pick up your pulp and give it to me." Boating! Otherwise-" Zandiparis said, the short sword in his hand slammed down the side, immediately piercing the chest of an injured pulper lying on his back.
Before the death of the pulper, the screams of screaming resounded in the cabin, and the oarsmen who had already been scared were afraid to disobey.
"Positive... normal...speed..." When the piper spoke, ~EbookFREE.me~ The teeth were fighting.
The warship slanted toward the coast, and several soldiers stood on the bow, the belly, and the stern of the deck. Their eye-catching black armor reminded other Veonia warships to be considered enemies.
Just as the Miladodes warship was linked to the enemy ship with the "Crow Suspension Bridge", another warship in Syracuse was approaching quickly. The captain and the sailors did not understand the two ships in front. Why didn't they separate, but they always touched together, but the rich combat experience and the habitual "double column" battle coordination made them not hesitate to turn the warship into a small bend, ready to go to the Midolades warship The most vulnerable middle part rushed away.
Not far from the left side of the Midorades warship, a Diaonian warship is also rushing forward.
"The speed of the charge!" The captain shouted loudly.
"Drips! Drops!..." The piper played the double pipe flute almost without stopping.
At this moment, the pulpers are highly excited and nervous, and they frequently lean forward and lean back, so that the splashes on both sides of the battleship have not disappeared yet, and another layer of spray has formed, forming two white parallel lines... ...
