Vol 8 Chapter 358: Carthage Naval Battle (End)

When Morbar got the news, he also changed his face and immediately ordered: All warships gave up the Siege fleet in front of the siege, and quickly retreated to the port!

Although the captains of the warships of Midolades and Dionia did not understand what the enemies in the city were screaming at, the bells of the lighthouse and the sudden changes in tactics of the enemies in front of them all showed that the battle situation had changed.

是 What is this change? The Sicilian fleet must have arrived! … This is what Sekarian and Midolades planned for many days to attract snakes. Because of the location of the Third Fleet and the number of its ships (the Sicilian fleet has too many warships, the Carthage fleet may not dare Battle), so as a bait, after the battle, the Sicilian fleet ambush between the waters of Western Sicily and Carthage, judged the time, and came to encircle, because the battle site is basically determined, so do n’t worry about getting lost And miss the fighter.

The Third Fleet still adheres to the defense-oriented strategy, but the interval between warships is widened to cover more sea surface, preventing enemy ships from bypassing them and approaching the port.

Ironically, Morbar had previously deliberately seduced the Third Fleet in front of the port entrance in order to subject its rear to a sudden attack, but now when the Carthage fleet wants to withdraw into the port, they find the third The fleet lined up in a circle and ran across the port, completely blocking their return.

Was he fleeing elsewhere or forcibly entering the port? ... Morbal was faced with an important choice. Time was running short. The veteran also lost his previous calmness and was soaked in cold sweat. Finally he issued an order: "Fight forward, break through the enemy line, and return to the port!"

Also, he commanded the flagship and took the lead in charging forward.

The reason why Morbar gave up withdrawing to another place was because he knew that the fierce fighting had hitherto, and the Carthage crews were so tired that it was difficult to escape the chasing by the reinforcements of Dionia. Moreover, there are a large number of soldiers on the Dionysian warship. Even if the Carthage warship grabs a beach near the coast, it is easy for the warship to fall into the hands of the enemy. At this time, the army in Carthage was empty and it was impossible to send enough The soldiers guarded these stranded warships (two days ago, there was a secret report that the inland Numibian tribal leaders had secretly rallied in an attempt to plot against the rule of Carthage, so the Senate hurriedly dispatched 7,000 civics. Going to counterinsurgency, there are only 3,000 soldiers left in the city).

Taking the flagship of Morbar as an example, other Carthage warships also put the previous caution and patience behind their heads, and successively launched an attack on the Third Fleet.

At the same time, three red flags were also raised on the flagship of the Third Fleet, and the bugle was long rumbling, expressing Midolades' determination to require each ship to fight to the end and never let the enemy open the way.

For the crew of the Third Fleet, they paid too much for this battle. They never hope that at the last moment, they will fail. All of them played a twelve-point spirit and desperately blocked the enemy's breakthrough.

四个 The intermittent naval battle, which lasted for four hours, suddenly turned into a fever.

What I didn't expect was that the first victim was the flagship of the Carthage fleet. When it rushed towards the circle, the crow battleship straightened its bow. Morbar ordered the helmsman to go straight and do not hide. When the flagship's deck was hit by the opponent's suspension bridge, Morbar led the deck. The few soldiers rushed towards the bow, followed by nearly 200 paddlers. He wanted to use the number advantage to block the attack of the Dionyaian soldiers on the deck.

The offensive attack of the Dionian Fleet infantry, who has been improving their strength, is fierce. When they use the leather shield to block the spears stabbed by the deck soldiers, they use the armor to rush forward and cling to the enemy. The right-handed dagger kept rushing towards the other ...

Even if it was on a shaky ship, the soldiers of the fleet were still very brave, swift, and precise, as if they were stepping on a solid ground. This was the result of years of hard training, which resulted in not many Carthage flagships. The soldiers on the deck were stabbed quickly.

Morbar lost his guard in front of him and faced the aggressive Dionysians. The elderly naval commander did not flinch or fear, and his thin right hand pulled out his sword and stabbed at Dionia. soldier.

Immediately after, his supporting sword was flied by the skin shield of the Dionysian infantry, and at the same time the short infantry of the fleet infantry pierced his chest.

When he fell, the expression on his face was not painful, and more calm. He was born in the strongest age of Carthage. He spent a lot of time in the Navy for Carthage. Ji's prosperity made a lot of contributions, and eventually died in the sea. He has no regrets.

"Master Morbar !!!"

"Revenge for Lord Morbar !!!"

Uh ...

Later, the Carthage sailors who rushed from the cabin to the deck saw their respected city-state heroes falling in a pool of blood, angry and no longer afraid of the heavily armed Dionia fleet infantry, all holding wooden paddles and daggers Swarming up prevented the Dionias from continuing their advance.

All of a sudden, the Dionysian infantry was blocked on the bow, the space was small, and even a number of infantry were blocked on the suspension bridge and could not reach the deck, which also caused the suspension bridge to be removed in time.

When the two sides were engaged in a fight, a Carthage warship bypassed the flagship and rushed towards the Raven warship.

The Raven battleship was unable to move because it was connected to Carthage's flagship. The crew could only watch the ship's hull being hit by a high-speed enemy ship for the first time. In the blast, not only the Raven battleship was A large mouth smashed into the sea. And during the violent shock, many Carthage sailors and fleet infantry on Carthage's flagship deck also fell into the sea, screaming, exclaiming ... messing up.

In the midst of this chaos, the sailors on Carthage's flagship deck, relying on a large number of people, pushed the enemy to the side of the ship when the formation of the enemies in front of them appeared chaotic and the offensive weakened for a while. Multiple fleet infantry were crowded into the sea ...

The subsequent Carthage warships followed the example of the flagship, which caused the crow warships in the forefront of the Third Fleet to be severely damaged. The Carthage fleet gradually broke through the periphery of the round and began to cut in.

Midolades learned the details of the battle ahead from his mouth, and felt the situation was urgent. He resolutely gave the order: "The Carthaginians are desperate, we are not desperate or dead! Go and inform all the crow warships. Once the suspension bridge caught the enemy ship, all the sailors in the cabin gave me an upper deck, and if an enemy ship came to hit them, they all jumped to help me fight! Carthage sailors dare to do this, we Dionysians Can only be braver than them! "

"Yes!" This time the captain didn't remind Midolades that the order was too complicated, because during the previous pursuit of the Carthage fleet, Midolades learned the previous lesson and recalled several Clippers. At this moment, they are clustered beside the flagship. And because of the round array of the Third Fleet, the warships were located around the flagship, and the space between the warships was small, and the order was quickly conveyed.

Since then, this naval battle has entered a more violent stage, not only the collision of warships, the battle of soldiers, but even the crew of both sides are fighting ...

The elders standing on the breakwater were worried, and the people still waiting in the port area were anxious. In order to ensure that their loved ones can break through the blockade of the Dionysian fleet, many ship owners were in a hurry to drive their own cargo ships, risking The huge risk of death and death of the ship, bravely rushed to the behemoth-like Dionia warships outside the port to assist our navy in combat.

It didn't take long for Dionya's 3rd Fleet to appear to be under siege, but they did not appear chaotic. Each warship kept its position and stubbornly blocked the Carthage Fleet ...

The plight of the Third Fleet did not last long, and the Sicilian Fleet finally arrived. The 250 warships had already been arranged in a row of two geese (the former was a fast warship and the latter was a crow warship). As a siege, they launched a swift attack on the Carthage fleet that was engaged with the 3rd Fleet.

The Carthage fleet that failed to enter the port in time immediately fell into the siege and lost Morbar ’s unified command. Some of the Carthage warships still wanted to continue to rush into the port. Fleeing in the direction ... As a result of their own fighting, their resistance was quickly shattered. With the exception of a few Carthage ships that escaped by chance, most of the ships were either wounded, sunk, or captured by crow warships.

The two successful Dionysian fleets no longer pursued the missing fish ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The third fleet stayed outside the port, and rescued the crew members who had fallen into the sea, and also attacked before leaving the port. Numerous cargo ships assisting the Carthage fleet to vent their anger.

Carthage cargo ships scrambling to flee to the port were chased and crushed by Dionia warships, and the captives were unknown.

And the Sicilian fleet sailed to the place where the Third Fleet to the west first engaged with the Carthage fleet. There were also many Carthage cargo ships there. They had rescued the Carthage crew who had fallen into the sea ashore, but Out of anger, they did not stop there. Under the leadership of Barricos, these boats continued to swim in this area, using wooden paddles to stun the Dionian sailors floating on the sea, causing them to drown, or even drown. Morbar also planned to dive into the sea to see if he could sink those warships that were captured by the Dionysian infantry and could not move.

At this moment, the Sicilian fleet arrived. Because this fleet arrived on the battlefield and joined the battle shortly after, it won the victory in the naval battle. The crew members were relatively physically and vigorously, and they faced the difficulties that they had suffered before The Carthage merchant ship, so the battle was very intense. They pursued and raided all Carthage ships on the sea, and even Barricos' merchant ship was eventually overturned ...
