Chapter 1133 The Eastern Mediterranean Sea Battle

On the blue sea, three galloping warships rushed towards Feng Yu's flagship from different directions, and the other two approached another multi-masted sailboat. The generals on these enemy ships realized that only by first removing these two huge creatures could they kill the "flocks" behind them with confidence.

For safety reasons, Feng Yu has been invited back to the cabin. Only the centurion-class captain of this warship is left on the deck. When the three Augures's galloping warships were still seventy or eighty battles away from this multi-masted sailing ship, they became more careful and no longer accelerated forward, but hovered on the periphery. Obviously, they were worried about this huge warship that was several times the size of their own and several battles high.

On the deck, the deputy of the Centurion Captain said, "Captain, fire the cannon. We can fire one of them by one volley. When the other approaches thirty or forty battles, the crossbows we had fired in the previous round of bombardment have been loaded, and we can use the side of the ships on both sides to blow down another enemy ship!"

The captain shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer, we will shoot out in one round. They found that our crossbows were so dense that they were afraid that the other two would turn around and flee. When they approached, we would make them together. We ordered the cannons on each side to be two strands, a total of four strands. Follow the orders to fire."

Shortly after he gave the order, the generals on the three enemy ships believed that they had discovered the shortcomings of the multi-masted sailboat. Although this behemoth was large, it was not equipped with a paddler, and its power was completely dependent on the layers of sails on the deck. Whether it was turning or turning, it was extremely slow. So they believed that even if they were hit by a few stone bombs and fire bombs, as long as they got close, they would kill the behemoth like a group of lions hunting a bison.

The two enemy ships that were close to each other seemed to communicate with flags. Their paddlers suddenly began to row hard, attacking the multi-masted sailboat one after another. Once the speed of the sailboat was rising, it was as fast as an arrow.

In a blink of an eye, the warship in front entered the distance of the 40-match sailboat, and the bronze collision angle located a few feet below the water was clearly visible. At the same time, the crossbows at the front end of the deck of the two warships each shot a stone bullet. One shot into the sea, causing several feet of waves to be waved, and a wood fragment that hit the side of the warship was splashed everywhere.

Of course, the sailing warship does not expect to be able to severely damage this behemoth with a crossbow, but as long as it is hit by its impact angle, even if the opponent relies on its huge hull to be cut in half, it will cause a large amount of seawater to pour into the cabin to sink. What's more, it will not only suffer this attack, but double-click or even three-strokes. The long oars on the sailing warship flew faster, leaving white trails behind the hull and on both sides. At most, it will hit this behemoth in ten seconds.

But at this moment, the captain on the sailing warship was surprised to find that the other party was facing his side suddenly opened three rows of dozens of portholes. Behind each porthole, the head of the crossbow was poked out. In desperation, he shouted in horror: "Deflect the course and avoid enemy crossbows."

In fact, he was a foolish move. The deflection not only interrupted his action of hitting the opponent's hull, but also increased the opponent's crossbows because the hull was crossing. More than 60 stone bullets and fireballs flew towards the sailing warship. Within a distance of thirty battles, these stone bullets and fireballs were almost shot in straight trajectory, most of which hit the hull, and a small part fell into the sea.

In an instant, the deck and the side of the sailing warship were broken by stone bullets, and the crossbow placed on the deck did not fly. The entire deck also saw some of the water surfaces around the hull. The people in the cabin tried desperately to squeeze out from the porthole and jumped into the sea.

Another galley warship following behind it did not dodge, and continued to hit the sailboat with its teeth straight. Only a call was heard in the cabin of the sailboat, and another sixty or seventy rounds of crossbows shot out. Although the warship was far away and maintained an angle perpendicular to the sailboat's hull, the other party's projectiles were too many and dense, and they still hit nineteen stone bullets and eight Greek sulphur bombs. They were also quickly dispersed in an instant.

In addition to burning on the deck, the sulphur bomb also drilled into the cabin from a large hole that was smashed by a stone bullet on the deck, and exploded in the cabin, and burst into tears. The entire ship was like a pile of floating and burning broken wood, and continued to approach the sailor under the action of inertia, but the speed was getting slower and slower. Finally, the sailors in the cabin at the bottom of the cabin were pressed by a long pole, and then they stopped.

The last of the three galloping warships rushed towards the other side of the sailing ship shortly after the other two suddenly launched an attack. When it was sixty battles away from the galloping ship, the galloping ship that rushed to the front was already full of holes. Seeing this, its captain was so scared that he quickly asked the sailors to turn around and flee. When the galloping ship destroyed the second galloping ship, it had escaped to a place seventy battles.

The sailboat did not pursue it, and it was impossible to chase it. However, the captain on the sailboat ordered the bow to turn, so that the other side of the ship's side was facing the sailing warship that had fled nearly a hundred battles. Although the distance of nearly a hundred battles was still within the range of the carrier-based crossbows, the shooting rate of this distance was extremely low. It would be good to have one or two shots in ten rounds, which was a waste of crossbows. Therefore, the Roman Navy generally would not choose to fire the crossbows at this distance.

However, three floors were placed on the side of the multi-mast sailboat, each with fifty bullocks totaling 150 bullocks. At this time, 150 projectiles were projected on the escaped Augusteth warship. The dense projectiles drew arcs in the sky and smashed towards the warship overwhelmingly. A total of thirteen stone bullets and twelve bullock bombs hit the target. As a result, the sail warship could not escape the same fate of the other two warships, and they were all riddled with holes and ended up in the sea of ​​fire.

Another multi-masted sailboat also easily killed two Augures' galloping warships that attacked it from the left and right. At this time, the battle on the main battlefield not far away was coming to an end. Many abandoned warships on the water were either riddled with holes and gradually sinking, or they had been burned into a pile of fire. The water was full of people's heads, but Feng Yu's army was prepared. The people who fell into the water brought auxiliary floats for swimming, and they swam desperately to the outside of the battlefield, where our army's rescue ships were responding.
