    I am extremely grateful to the SEE Alliance, Tawny, and Mercury for their rewards and monthly tickets, thank you!  It¡¯s not easy to survive during a major sweep.  ¡ª¡ªThere is no escape!  Facing the blocked port, the skeleton pirates were like a group of trapped beasts, struggling but helpless.  From April 26th to 27th, the Great Battle of Crete lasted for a whole day and night. The final result ended with the pirates fleeing hastily. The twelve pirate ships chasing the Greek merchant ships finally ran away.  , there were only the three outermost single-masted small ships. As for the first seven large ships that rushed into the port, two were rammed and sunk, and the remaining five were captured by the Qin army.  In terms of personnel, the pirate leader Greer was killed by Lei in a fight and died in the sea. Although there was also the word "Thunder" in his name, Dong Lei clearly defeated Xi Lei. Greer's body sank to the bottom of the sea and became a fish.  As for the other pirates, more than 600 people died and 56 surrendered. From this number, it can be seen that the skeleton pirates are indeed extremely ferocious. When faced with a desperate situation,  It can also trap a beast and still fight.  On the Qin army's side, Lei Bei's ship was overwhelmed and sank in the harbor. The remaining warships were not seriously damaged and could still be used after some repairs. Of course, the repair process would take at least one day.  In terms of military losses, the Qin army lost 266 people and injured 318 in this battle. This number was much higher than that of the pirates. Of course, this was mainly because the Qin army was  For the sake of the victor.  Naval battles are no better than land battles. Once they fail, except for the lucky escape from the battlefield by ship, the remaining defeated soldiers will have no choice but to surrender.  Or die in the sea with the sunken battleship.  "The invincible skeleton pirates were defeated, and they were locked up and beaten. They had almost no power to fight back?" Dikar leaned on a stone beside the pier with trembling hands, staring blankly at the burning sea.  , everything that just happened, he couldn't believe it.  When did Qin¡¯s navy become so powerful?  At this time last year, they had just formed an army in the Port of Troy, and that guy Gemisius and the students from Lyceum College were also helping to supervise the construction of warships. The Romans also had triremes on the sea.  Nothing surprising.  But why could the Qin army exert such great power once it was used?  What shocked Dikar was the unknown thing that could produce a huge explosion and shock wave. The overwhelming explosion could instantly kill and injure people. Compared with a single crossbow, this mysterious weapon that could explode could kill people.  The strength increased several times.  Gan Yong¡¯s ship has docked.  He let out a sigh of relief.  Not caring about counting the results of the battle, he shouted eagerly: "General, did you see the mine on the third ship?" The soldiers on the left and right all lowered their heads and were speechless. At this time, the battlefield was still in chaos, and corpses were floating on the sea.  I don¡¯t know how many.  It was unclear who was coming from whom, but just now, Gan Yong clearly saw the bow of the third ship raised high, and then the entire battleship sank into the sea in an extremely tragic manner.  All personnel on the ship did not know whether they were alive or dead.  "General, General Lei may have jumped into the sea. Just now, my subordinates saw pirates boarding his ship¡ª¡ª!" After a long time, the captain who landed on the shore said softly.  "Jump into the sea, hurry up and find him." Gan Yong said angrily.  Lei Fei was a rising star in the Qin army, and his abilities were quite outstanding. Naturally, Gan Yong did not want the generals under his command to be lost in this battle.  Lei was lying on the wooden board. The injuries under his ribs and the massive blood loss made his body feel groggy, as if he was being pressed down by a thousand kilograms of weight.  If it had been dragged on like this, Lei Qui's life would have been in danger. Fortunately, at this time, the war on the sea was almost over, and Lei Qui's body began to drift toward the shore with the ocean currents.  "Look, who is that?" a Qin soldier who was responsible for salvaging the floating corpse shouted loudly.  Immediately, he used the spear in his hand to tease Lei's stiff body.  Lei Yue¡¯s body rose and fell, and when he was being pulled and sinking, the salty warm seawater of the Mediterranean Sea flowed into his throat, making him almost breathless.  ¡°Ahem¡ª¡ª!¡± The suffocation caused Lei to cough violently, and it was his slight cough that saved his life.  "Hurry, he's still alive, this brother is still alive!" The soldier who salvaged the ship shouted in surprise. He couldn't take a closer look, and he didn't expect that the person he rescued would be a big shot, the commander of the third ship.  ¡ª¡ª.  Dongyang City.  The residence of the county governor Huan Chu.  The whole night was brightly illuminated. Since the Great Qin Navy went to war, Li Yuan had moved forward and moved his base camp from Xin'an City to Dongyang area.  If Lu Jia, Jia Yi and others had not tried to dissuade him, he would have thought of boarding the ship in person and fighting with the navy officers.  "It's extremely cold at high places. If this is the case on the battlefield?How nice!  "Li Yuan paced back and forth in the meeting hall. In the side hall on one side, staff officers at all levels were nervously reporting the latest battle situation. "Your Majesty, General Gan Yong reported that our fleet has set off, Crete  No abnormalities were found around the island!  " "Report, the Roman fleet is still in the Pella area, and there is no sign of heading eastward. The pirate fleet has taken the bait and is chasing the Greek merchant ships.  " "Reported that our fleet was engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy at the port. The third ship was shot and capsized, the second ship was damaged and withdrew from the battle, the second enemy ship sank, and the remaining ships were in fierce battle.  "The battle situation reported back from the front made Li Yuan restless. The naval battle was no better than the land battle. For the Qin army, this was a battle in an unfamiliar battlefield environment. "Report, Your Majesty, a great victory, a great victory, and our navy is completely  The pirate fleet was wiped out, the enemy chief Grell was beheaded, and the skeleton fleet was wiped out!  "Just when Li Yuan was feeling uneasy, Huan Chu strode in with a silk letter in his hand. "Animate the pirate fleet, are you serious?  "Li Yuan was surprised and asked. Not only him, but also the civil servants such as Lu Jia and Jia Yi on the left and right also looked over. Huan Chu waved his hand excitedly and said: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. General Gan is in Crete.  An ambush is set up in the bay, and the pirate fleet is trapped in the bay. Our army closes the door and beats the dogs. How happy it is!  " As Huan Chu spoke, he presented the battle report from the front. Li Yuan took it and looked at it, but saw a few lines of Gan Yong's scrawled handwriting. He simply reported the damage figures of both sides. The Qin army's  Although the loss was not big, Li Yuan's serious injury still made Li Yuan worried. "General Huan, immediately tell Gan Yong that when he returns to the army in triumph, I will personally go to the military port to cleanse them and welcome our warriors of Great Qin.  They return.  "Li Yuan said solemnly. The Great Qin Navy. The First World War is famous all over the world. The result of the Great Battle of Crete was like a wind with wings, blowing across the entire Mediterranean. In Egypt, the descendants of the ancient civilization spread their wings one by one.  mouth closed, almost unable to believe this fact; in Carthage, the consul Hannibal, who had regained power, was thoughtful; in Rome, Scipio, who had been in power for less than three months, stared at the people in front of him with a gloomy face.  Naval Commander Crassus, anger was about to burst out from the bottom of his heart. ¡°General Crassus, is your fleet still in Pella?  Such a big thing happened in Crete, and you actually told me that I didn¡¯t know about it. Are you eating shit?  " "Subordinate, subordinate¡ª¡ª!  Crassus murmured a few times, trying to defend himself. "What else do you have to say? Does that idiot Greer think that Greek merchant ships are so easy to attack?"  He has no brains. Are you Crassus a pig too?  "Scipio was furious. "Grand Consul, the Qin people just won by luck this time. According to the pirates who came back, Greer also tried his best, and no fewer than five Qin ships were sunk.  Crassus wiped the cold sweat from his head, his fat body trembled, and said. "What you said is useless. The Qin people won. This is the most important thing."  Next, nations hostile to us such as Carthage, Greece, and Egypt will turn to the Qin people even more, and the situation of our great Rome will become very difficult. Therefore, for the glory of Rome, maritime hegemony must not be left aside.  "Scipio said sternly, and the majesty of the superior emanated, leaving Crassus, an old subordinate, in silence. Profiting from the domestic power struggle and successfully expelling the Fabian forces made Scipio very high-spirited, but he also knew this kind of power  The foundation is still very fragile. If they don't make achievements in the military, the conservative forces in the Senate will come back. Crassus wiped out the Khan and ordered him to retreat, and went down to rectify the naval fleet in frustration, trying to regain the city. Scipio.  The anger put him under great pressure. To be honest, Greer had informed him before attacking, but Crassus only thought it was an ordinary pirate robbery and did not take the destruction of Greer's pirate fleet seriously.  It was like cutting off an arm of the Romans. Originally, Scipio used Greer's power to rob merchant ships secretly. Even if the merchants had objections to this kind of business without capital, they would not dare to mention it openly.  , and now, when the Qin people appear on the east coast of the Mediterranean with a strong posture, whether the merchants will listen to Rome still needs further consideration. What worries Scipio is not only the sea, but also the Balkan Peninsula.  , the life of the Gallic Legion of Peterius was not easy. The Thracians who had surrendered to Rome had shown signs of recurrence recently. Needless to say, Adsilia, a coward, took advantage of the Qin army's strong name to actively  Promote the power of Qin to the compatriots in Rome, and at the same time, a young hero emerged among the Thracian warriors - Spartacus, an ordinary soldier in the Battle of Constantinople.  After just one year of training by the Qin army, he quickly grew into an excellent general. His acumen and courage made him famous.The opposing Gallic generals suffered repeated setbacks, and holding the border became an elusive dream.  In the Sava River Basin, Spartacus led two thousand Thracian warriors to break through the natural chasm, leaving the Gauls behind. Their surprise attack suddenly cut off the connection between the main force of the Gallic Army in Pella and the front.  Peterius had no choice but to order to retreat again and again.
