    "Pull hard!" The shirtless Han army sergeants pulled hard on the long cables so that their warships could maneuver in a wide range.  The bronze skin of these sergeants was covered with sweat, and their bulging tendons were full of explosive power.  Living at sea all year round makes their bodies extremely strong.  "Turn around, prepare the sling!" Even on the sea, even if the weather is hot now.  The tall captain still wore armor and stood majestically on the console.  As for the waterfall of sweat on his forehead, no one could care about it at this time.  ¡®Kakkaka~¡¯ With the teeth-searing sound of gears turning, more than a dozen catapults fixed on the side of the ship were slowly pulled into firing state.  The nervous old sailors carefully carried the sealed giant pottery pot to the throwing spoon and placed the pot firmly on it.  ¡°These clay pots are filled with hellfire that makes people crazy.  These sergeants have all seen the terrifying power of these clay pots.  No one dares to cause trouble for themselves at this time.  That's really killing people.  When the veterans applied a layer of special material on the clay pot and lit the torches in their hands.  Almost all the sailors on the deck ran away, and no one dared to stand beside them at this time.  "These bastards." The veterans muttered and cursed, but there was nothing they could do.  This kind of dangerous thing has always been done by veterans.  The captain did not dare to leave these tasks to clumsy and careless recruits.  Once something goes wrong, it will most likely affect the entire ship!  No one can help but be cautious.  "Aim!" The young surveyors from the Naval Academy were using the measuring tools in their hands to control the aiming direction of the thrower with sweat.  Adjusting the pitch angle and the left and right compasses, he put the Roman warship in the distance into the crosshairs in front of him.  "Ready!" After everything was ready, the surveyor raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his face, turned to the captain who had been staring at them on the control tower and shouted loudly.  "Launch!" followed the captain's deep roar.  The sailor standing next to the throwing spoon immediately put the torch in his hand close to the clay pot and lit it.  "Hey!" After seeing the clay pot burning, a strong sailor picked up the huge hammer in his hand and hit the machine bracket of the thrower with all his strength.  ¡®Whoosh~¡¯ The burning clay pot was instantly thrown out.  Under the watchful eyes of everyone on the ship.  The burning clay pot drew a beautiful arc in mid-air and hit a Roman warship heavily.  In an instant, the Roman warship began to burst into flames.  Even from such a distance, you can see many burning Romans running around screaming, and many burning people jumping directly from the side of the ship into the sea.  "Silly boy, if you can be fine if you jump into the sea, what else would it be called hellfire?" A sailor still holding a torch in his hand looked at the howling Roman soldiers jumping into the sea in an attempt to put out the flames in the distance, and shook his head  Shaking his head, he said softly.  This homemade napalm bomb is no worse than the original in terms of killing power.  After the clay pot was hit and broken, the napalm that splashed onto the surrounding people was like lard paste, thick and resistant to burning.  If a person slaps the flame with his hand.  On the contrary, it will become more and more popular.  If you roll on the ground to extinguish the fire, your whole body will be covered with fire and the fire will become more intense.  After all, the human body contains a lot of fat.  And once there is a lot of fire on people, the people nearby should try to stay away from the person on fire, because the struggle of the person on fire can easily throw the burning oil onto others, causing a secondary killing effect.  Once this thing is contaminated, unless the flesh is cut off immediately, it will definitely be a dead end.  The incendiary bombs that were almost completely impossible to extinguish after adding polystyrene were already very scary.  But the craftsmen of the Han Empire added white phosphorus to the clay pots after some research.  After white phosphorus burns on the human epidermis, a large amount of highly toxic chemicals will remain, which will enter the blood circulation through the open wound of the burn wound, causing blood poisoning in the wounded.  The burned surface is usually purple or blue-black.  There is absolutely no cure for this highly toxic substance in this era.  No one except the Han army had medicine to suppress the poison.  ?That is to say.  As long as it is stained by the incendiary bomb, no matter who it is, they have received an invitation from the Lord of Hell.  Of course, the other function of the incendiary bomb that will rapidly consume the oxygen in the nearby air and produce a large amount of carbon monoxide, causing biological suffocation, is no longer useful at this time.  Moreover, this small homemade incendiary bomb does not have such a huge coverage and power.  The raging fire soon spread across the Roman ships.  Wooden warships have basically no resistance to this kind of fire that cannot be extinguished.  Even if the ship is painted with a fire-retardant coating, it will not take its last breathThe incendiary bombs that never go out are useless.  The whole ship soon became a giant torch.  Especially those with sails.  The bigger the sail, the faster it will set.  The Romans on the boat, whether they were on fire or not, all began to jump desperately towards the sea.  If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave.  This Roman sea ship is a microcosm of this huge battlefield.  The Han fleet formed a formation and used a large number of long-range throwers to throw incendiary bombs at the Roman ships.  Hit the boat.  That ship is doomed.  It doesn't matter if it hits the sea. The huge kinetic energy is enough to break the clay pot and burn it to form a huge fire belt on the sea.  If a ship cannot dodge and rushes in, it will be a death.  The Romans who jumped into the sea to escape would also die if they came close.  The Roman fleet, which was originally huge and densely packed on the sea, fell into a desperate situation in an instant.  The Romans originally used the sea breeze and the slaves' oars to quickly approach the Han army's ships, trying to launch a large-scale fire attack.  But when a terrifying fire belt burned on the sea in front of them, they were shocked to find that it was now very difficult to escape.  The oil floating on the sea surface is extremely sticky.  The ship will be covered in fire when it sails past, and it will be over soon.  Especially those arson boats with chained bottom compartments full of slaves rowing desperately.  The faster you rush, the faster you die.  These arson ships were burned into torches before they even got close to the larger ships approaching the Han army.  Severus' trump card was pushed into the bottom of the sea by Sun Jian as soon as he opened it.  Of course, there are no environmentalists in this era.  Sun Jian's large-scale pollution of the ocean will never be complained about.  "How could this happen?!" Severus looked at the advance Roman fleet caught in a sea of ??fire in the distance with trembling hands, with an expression of disbelief on his face.  How can a fire start on a rough sea?  Could it be that these alien races are all using Vulcan weapons?  !  Severus, who was originally full of confidence, grabbed his black hair hard and walked back and forth uneasily on the control tower of the warship.  He muttered to himself, with a panicked expression.  This kind of thing is too weird. The alien army actually has weapons that can burn on the sea?  How can we still fight this?  At this moment, the Romans on the battlefield were in the same mood as Severus.  The weapons they equipped could not reach the Han army's warships, so they could only be beaten passively.  Some brave Romans increased their speed and desperately wanted to get close to start a boarding battle.  But sadly, he found that his ship could not reach the side of the Han army's ship.  There is a difference of several meters. Even if the Olympic high jump champion comes, he will not be able to jump up.  "Hehe." Seeing that the battlefield situation was under his control, Sun Jian's stern face finally showed a satisfied smile.  Sun Jian pointed at the panicked Roman fleet in the distance and shouted loudly, "Kill them!" "Here!" The Han generals who were equally excited and saw the hope of victory agreed in unison.  The Han fleet blocked the first round of the aggressive Roman assault through long-range blockade, and at the same time dealt a huge blow to the Romans with sharp counterattacks.  After the Roman offensive was frustrated, Sun Jian quickly launched a large-scale counterattack.  The huge Han fleet maneuvered around the burning sea and divided into multiple formations to attack the Roman fleet.  "What should we do now?" More than a dozen Roman generals beside Severus rushed to his side in panic, shouting loudly.  They all began to worry that this extremely important naval battle would end in failure.  ""Looking at the foreign fleets in the distance, they slaughtered, burned, and sank Roman ships.  Severus felt like his head was in a mess, and he didn't know what to do now.  Naval battles were not something he was good at.  "We have lost!" The Roman generals did not dare to mention the retreat, but the senators who followed them did not care about this.  They are all human beings, so they can naturally see that the Roman fleet at this time is no match for them. If they don't leave at this time, they may not be able to leave.  "Severu!" A white-haired senator came to Severus' side, with an unconcealed panic in his expression, and shouted loudly, "We have lost! Can't you see? We are  The ship can't defeat them at all. At this time, we should retreat and find a way instead of staying here and dying in vain!" The senator was right, the Romans are dying in vain now.  The Han army¡¯s ships were tall, large, and extremely strong.  They were equipped with a large number of powerful weapons and formed a good formation to crush the Roman fleet.  Even the Han army did not need to continue to use things like arrow towers and slingers. They could directly crush the Roman boats by ramming them with their powerful hulls.  Of course, the Roman ships were not without their merits.  At least theyThe professional warships equipped with ramming horns still caused some damage to the Han army.  The main reason why the Romans were able to achieve results was that the shipbuilding technology brought by Gao Yang did not have the ancient naval warfare technology of BC such as angle collision.  At the same time, the Han sailors obviously relaxed after the overall situation was decided. Many of them began to use their own large ships to ram the Romans' small ships, and watched them desperately struggle in the sea for fun.  (To be continued) Chapter 1064: All the way to the west (Twenty-one:
