    In the boxing ring.  It is impossible for opponents of different levels to meet together, and on a real battlefield, there are no such rules. However, in this encounter in the Peloponnese Strait, the pirate Pisius faced off against the sailor Aris.  , such two inconspicuous characters accidentally became the trigger of a large sea battle.  Greer's jealousy forced Picius to risk getting close to the merchant ship. When the small oar boat cautiously leaned against the string of the merchant ship, Aris on the mast finally gave up. With his voice hoarse, he decided not to rely on others anymore.  "That damn fat guy from Dikar doesn't even believe me. This time, I, Aris, will prove it to you stupid people!" After struggling to break free from the rope tied to his leg, Aris shook his head.  Suosuo held a short blade in one hand and leaned on the wooden plank of the cabin with the other, staring intently at the place where the slight sound had just come out.  Reluctant to look down upon his companions, the thin sailor felt a fierce fighting spirit in his chest at this moment.  The outer edge of a merchant ship.  A dark shadow is rising slowly.  Pirate Pisius tried hard to climb a few steps along the outer edge of the merchant ship. The hull, wet by the waves, was extremely slippery, and he almost fell into the sea.  Due to his thin body, Picius always has a natural advantage for tasks such as reconnaissance and sneak attacks, and this is why Greer gave him the primary task.  The string of the merchant ship was right in front of him. As long as he exerted more force, he could flip onto the merchant ship. Picius took a long breath and swung upward violently. His body suddenly swept sideways to the deck of the merchant ship.  "Boom!" A muffled shout rang out.  Picius's body fell heavily on the ship's armor, however.  Before he could feel the surprise in his heart, he felt a chill in his chest.  Then came the severe pain.  "Uh, I got stabbed. Damn it Greer, I've been fooled." Picius's eyes widened. Through the hazy moonlight in the sky, he saw a guy as thin as a monkey, clinging to the shadow of the side of the ship.  place, and in his hand, he was holding a bright short blade.  "Go to hell, bastard. When you get there, remember that the name of the person who killed you is Aris, the great hero, the invincible Aris." When Picius's mind gradually became blurred, Aris's hoarse shouts also disappeared.  Gradually he became depressed.  Just now, when Pichus fell down.  It pressed down on Aris's body, and the hard bones collided with each other. Aris's chest was immediately broken with more than three ribs. Now he felt the huge dizziness caused by the blood loss. Fortunately, at this time, he heard something wrong.  Dikar and others finally got up.  "Pirates. If there are pirates, light the torches quickly." On the merchant ship, there was a loud shout and the lights were lit on the dark sea, although it would reveal their whereabouts.  But now that the pirates have touched upon it, the pirates know exactly where the merchant fleet is.  No matter how much you cover it up, it won't help. Instead, it would be better to light up the nearby sea and discover where the pirates are early.  The remaining three pirates in the small paddle boat were waiting for Pichus to lower the rope, but to their disappointment, what was waiting for them was not the rope, but the barrels falling down one by one. The waves rolled around and the small paddle boat was swept away.  The boat capsized due to the rush, and the three of them struggled in the sea for a while before disappearing.  Compared with the ruthlessness of the sea, pirates are nothing more than clowns. Although the few chessmen sent by Greer to explore the way have not achieved any big results, for the pirates who are determined to seize the ship, all this is  That's enough.  In the light of the fire, the distance between the pirate skeleton ship and the merchant ship was only half a mile. Comparing the speed of the two sides, the pirate ship with an empty cabin was much faster than the heavy merchant ship. In desperation, in order to save his life, Dikar ordered the sailors to  He rowed with his oars to speed up the boat, and on the other hand, he threw the wine barrel backwards as hard as he could.  The round wooden barrels floating irregularly on the sea are like time bombs. Although they will not explode, for a wooden boat traveling at high speed, every collision may cause water to leak from the bottom of the boat.  Bringing serious impacts to the sea.  Greer was furious.  The Greeks' act of cutting off the wrists of a strong man who wanted his life but not his wealth made him anxious and heartbroken.  The pirate group is no better than the army and does not have strict discipline. He, the boss, only became the boss because he is stronger than the other groups. Every barrel of wine floating in the sea is worth a lot of gold coins, and Greer can't stop his thieves.  The group of thieves are eager for property.  He chased and fled all the way.  The speed of Dikal's merchant ship was accelerating. After giving up the shackles of property, the sailors burst out with a desire to survive and used all their strength. What motivated them even more was Aris, a companion they despised.  , the thin man who had been laughed at by them during the day was now lying quietly on the deck, his eyes wide open.?Just like when you were still alive.  "Aris, brother, don't worry, we believe this time. If you really say what you say, we must believe it is true?" The big man William was filled with tears and wept while rowing hard.  Aris and he were fellow villagers who came out of Athens together. Over the years, William had repeatedly bullied this weak partner because of his height and strength. But today he discovered that he had always regarded the smart and clever Aris as his own.  brother.  ¡ª¡ª.  Crete.  Under the reflection of the morning sun, it is emitting golden light.  This large island in the middle of the Aegean Sea is now a free trade port. Not only caravans from the mainland, but also pirates often visit it. Of course, it is definitely impossible to blatantly sail a skull and crossbones ship into the port.  of.  The chase on the sea has been going on for an hour. The distance between Greer's pirate ship and Dikar's merchant ship is only two hulls.  "Damn it, brothers, drop anchor and hook them." Greer roared again and again. This chase lasted too long, which made him feel a little bit uneasy while being exhausted.     Why?  The process went too smoothly.  This night battle took place on the sea near Greece, if it was normal.  At least the local search boats guarding the coastline would come over to take a look at the situation, but in retrospect.  Greer did not notice even a single fishing boat appearing around. The reason for this was of course that the fishing boats were afraid and ran away after seeing the skull and crossbones flag, but there might be another possibility, that is, the situation had changed.  The heavy iron anchor is hung with the whistling wind and falls in a parabola. This special anchor on a pirate ship is not large in size. Its main function is to be used by pirates to hook the target ship at close range.  Create conditions for the next battle.  However, due to the difference in speed, the pirates failed to catch the merchant ship after several attempts. Greer became even more anxious as he watched the port getting closer and closer.  "I can't care less. After this transaction, I will return to the Roman fleet. Who wants to take this skull and crossbones flag?" Greer, who was furious, was desperate. Although the pirate leader lived a happy life, he was still shady after all.  , only returning to the fleet of Great Rome is what Greer hopes most.  ¡ª¡ª.  In the shadow of the harbor.  Five trireme warships are lined up in a row, the tallest ship located in a prominent position in the center.  It is the ship of Qin General Gan Yong. The bow of this trireme is equipped with an iron ram. Depending on its speed and maneuverability, the ram can quickly hit the side of the enemy ship.  And the enemy ship with its weak flanks and hull has almost no power to fight back in front of the iron hammer.  The emergence of the trireme.  It was invented by the Romans during the Second Punic War between Carthage and Rome. Subsequently, this kind of trireme had more than 170 oarsmen and about 20 sailors, sailors and helmsmen.  In addition, there are archers and spearmen who are specifically responsible for fighting. Of course, the least important thing is the ship's commander, a captain and a deputy.  When the Qin Army formed a new naval fleet, Greek craftsmen built this classic naval warship based on their own experience. For this kind of warship, which is very different from the Oriental building ship, it effectively avoids the excessive weight and stability of the upper hull.  Although the officers and soldiers of the Qin Army could not understand it at the beginning, as the training deepened, they also had a deeper understanding of the advanced nature of this kind of warship.  .  ??Bump into the stick.  Equivalent to a collision angle, it can tear through the fragile hull of an enemy ship in an instant.  The three-layer oarsmen's added power can ensure the stability of human control. The Mediterranean area is no different from China's East China Sea and Yellow Sea. This is an inland sea. Hurricanes only appear in fixed seasons every year, and most of the time the navigation of ships relies on human power for propulsion.  , the more oarsmen there are, the faster the boat is.  However, on these five ships, different traces from the East can still be found. First of all, the iron hammer represents the bronze hammer. This change directly saves a lot of money. Compared with the expensive bronze, it is leading in forging iron technology.  The powerful Da Qin Bingzao naturally prefers Tie Tuozi.  For the protection of the side body, Qin craftsmen used layers of iron sheets instead of olive oil. Although this change slightly increased the weight of the ship, it made a fundamental change in protecting against collisions.  In the same collision, the Qin army's warships can withstand more toughness than the bare wooden ships.  In addition, the biggest change actually comes from the different types of combat arms. One team of ten thunder soldiers, two teams of twenty machine crossbow soldiers, and thirty powerful melee sword and shield soldiers formed the Qin Dynasty.  The main force of military warships.  ¡ª¡ª.  The pirate ship enters the harbor.    Due to the lengthening of the pursuit route, Greer's fleet extended a distance of as much as one nautical mile. When his flagship chased the merchant ship into the port of Crete, the pirate ship trailing behind was still slowly salvaging  holding wine barrel.  "Attack!" Amidst Gan Yong's loud shouts, the officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Navy, who had been suppressed for a full year, shouted together. In the past year, they had lived in the open air, endured the drenching sea breeze and the sun, in order to  What?  Just for the day of departure.  "Kill!" The war drums roared in an instant. The strict discipline of the Qin army ensured that the drums sounded neatly. While Gan Yong's main fleet attacked, the two squadrons of Huzhuang and Luanbu detoured to both ends of the island, one on the left and one on the left.  On the right, in a scissor shape, the gap in the harbor, which is no wider than three ships passing abreast, is tightly blocked.  This interception caused Greer¡¯s pirate fleet to follow seven ships into the port and six ships to stay in the open sea. The entire pirate fleet was divided into two large pieces.  If the pirate group is a regular army with strict discipline and unified orders, there is no doubt that the six peripheral warships behind will use their strength to open the gap and rescue their companions who are besieged in the harbor. However, in Greer's opinion, this possibility  It is basically impossible to come.  The so-called pirates are just a group of groups with interests. The reason why they recognize Greer as the boss is because he is the strongest and has the support of the Romans in selling stolen goods. It is more convenient and credible than other groups.  .  Gan Yong obviously recognized this point and took action at the most crucial point.  The Qin army's trireme rushed over at a very fast speed, and the iron hammer was aimed at the flank of Greer's flagship. This sudden change made Greer, an experienced pirate, break out in a cold sweat.  "Quick, stop the enemy ship." Greer signaled to the following partner ship.  Seeing the order from the flagship, the pirate single-layer paddle boat following behind reluctantly turned around and tried to go up to help the boss block the Qin army warship.  "Peng!" A loud noise rang out amidst the collision of the two ships. After a crisp squeaking sound, the pirate ship was torn into two pieces by the Qin army's iron hammers like paper, while all the thieves on the ship were stunned.  He staggered around, unable to even stand, and fell into the sea.  This time it hit.  Greer's face changed drastically when he saw this scene not far away. The Qin army's warships were protected by three oars and their hulls were taller. He saw all this, but he did not take it seriously. Naval battles  Although Guan Jian is a warship, having experienced sailors is the most important thing.  At this point, Greer did not believe that the Qin people's several flutters in the port of Troy could defeat these elites at sea under his own command.  But the scene in front of them made the thieves suspicious. The shouts of their companions struggling in the sea made them come to their senses and hurriedly put down the small oar boat to rescue them.  "Avoid the opponent's collision angle, get closer, and steal their ship." Greer roared, throwing a javelin with all his strength, the powerful gun body with the sound of howling wind, pointed straight at the enemy's flagship diagonally  general.  "Boss is mighty." The power of a spear made Greer proud. The spear head of this kind of javelin is a copper spear head wrapped in bronze. Under the action of added force, it can pierce the wooden planks of the ship. As for the human body,  Even more unable to resist, Greer was so excited that he had already imagined in his mind the scene of the javelin skewering the body of the Qin army general.  On the Qin army's flagship, beside Gan Yong, two close guards took a step forward and raised their iron shields high, trying to block the sharp force of the javelin.  Greer was very confident about which one was more powerful, the skill of the Qin craftsmen or the brute force of the Westerners, while Gan Yong was equally confident about the Qin army.  PS: There is no recommendation next week, please count the votes for consolation.
