When the magpie saw Bandy's appearance, he wanted to tease her to shift the target, but she was about to speak, when she suddenly thought that she didn't know how the prince would arrange Strip, so she couldn't help but say nothing.

She thought for a while and said, "Lord Wang, the slave and maid will soon have three children, and there are so many people and mouths that they can't afford to support them." Can you make a poem, I let the slaves publish a book of poems, and earn some money to feed them? ”

Magpie published Li You's poetry collection, has already made a lot of money, she and Baihu are now one is the fourth grade, the other is the fifth grade, and there is a title, rich in Lu, there are a lot of shares in Li You's industry, it can be said that they have been among the rich in the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, she said this to divert the subject.

"Yes, yes!" Bonty liked the prince's poems the most, and she immediately clapped her hands in approval.

Li You didn't speak, his eyes looked at the sails, as if he was observing something.

Seeing him like this, everyone consciously closed their mouths.

Li You saw that the sails were hanging weakly, and said, "It's not good, the wind is going to stop." ”

The power of the warships of the Kang army mainly relied on the power of the wind, and with the sea breeze, the Tang army would fall into passivity.

However, at this moment, the battle has been going on for quite some time, most of the enemy ships should have been destroyed, and he is not worried that the fleet of the Don Army will suffer heavy losses.

He was worried that the remnants of the Romans would flee in a hurry, and at this moment the army of Pedilan had not officially launched an attack, and once these Romans fled back, it would reveal their strategic intentions, and sometimes the situation of the strong fleet of the Don army.

He immediately said to a naval officer standing not far away: "Report the battle situation immediately." ”

The naval officer immediately gave the order to the flag-bearer on the mast.

Without waiting for the news from the flag soldiers, Liu Renliang walked over from the command cabin, and he said a little anxiously: "Lord Wang, the wind is about to stop." At present, most of the Roman warships have been annihilated, and there are still some remnants. Although our army surrounded the enemy's fleet, the speed of the ships could not keep up, and I am afraid that some Romans would slip through the net.

The minister asked the ironclad to fight. ”

Li You nodded, and said with some excitement: "Okay, it's time to try the power of the ironclad ship." ”

Liu Renliang said worriedly: "Lord Wang, please get off the boat, just go." ”

Li You said: "No need, let's go together!" ”

As the commander of the whole army, Li You will reduce his prestige and affect morale if he avoids the battle.

Besides, the ironclad ship's powerful firepower, strong maneuverability and tall and sturdy protection are invincible at sea, and Liu Renliang will no longer insist.

He ordered: "Full steam ahead and go to war." ”

Since the ironclad ship joined the navy, it has not conducted a single actual battle, and the officers and men on the ship have long had itchy hands, and after hearing the order, they screamed with excitement.

After the Roman fleet discovered the enemy fleet in the distance, the commander of the fleet was very happy at first, and did not expect to find the enemy's traces so easily.

However, when he found that the enemy had more warships than he had ever seen before, and that they were outnumbered by him, he immediately panicked and immediately ordered a retreat.

However, the Tang army, which had already set up a pocket formation, immediately surrounded them where they could escape.

When the Romans found that the enemy ships were moving much faster than they did, they became more and more confused.

However, the Roman navy commander had rich experience in naval warfare, and when he saw that the retreat route had been cut off, he decided to take advantage of the small and flexible characteristics of his ships to attack one Tang warship in a group of five warships, so as to form a local advantage of fighting more and fighting less.

Moreover, their warships carried a large amount of Greek fire, and although it was impossible to dump crude oil on the surface of the sea for a large-scale attack on such a wide sea, the rockets they carried and the incendiary canisters launched by the catapult could still inflict significant damage on the enemy.

However, when the battleships of the Don army approached and the two sides began to fight, the Romans realized that they had made a serious mistake.

On the battleships of the Don Army, a large number of bed crossbows were equipped, and the firing range was longer than that of the bed crossbows on the ships of the Romans, and the number was even more incomparable. Before the Romans could get closer, they were already shot.

The warships of the Tang Dynasty also fired rockets, but this kind of rocket used fierce fire oil, which burned much more than crude oil, and once burned, it could not be extinguished with seawater, and even burned more and more.

Moreover, there was no shelter on the Roman warships, most of the soldiers were exposed on the deck, and the Don army was condescending, and the armor-piercing arrows rained down, and the Roman soldiers had nowhere to hide and suffered heavy casualties.

Soon the confidence of the Romans was lost, then panic, then rout, and even the generals of the Roman navy lost confidence.

The Tang army attacked with arrows and fire, and the most outrageous thing was to use the tall hull to directly ram the Romans' warships and send them directly to the bottom of the sea.

Nearly three times the numerical superiority of the Romans, bullying dozens of backward Roman warships, the battle was fought one-sidedly.

The Roman general, seeing that if he continued to fight, he would be annihilated, so he prepared to give the order to stop the resistance and surrender to the invincible enemy.

At this moment, the wind on the sea suddenly weakened, and the movement of the Don army's warships began to slow down, which provided the Romans with the opportunity to escape, which used oars as power.

The Roman admirals took the lead in directing their ships and fled in the direction of Constantinople, followed by more than a dozen Roman warships.

The Don warships, which were responsible for blocking them, blocked them with bows and crossbows and fire attacks as they passed, destroying most of the fleeing Roman warships. However, three Roman ships escaped.

By this time, the wind on the sea had completely stopped, and the battleships of the Don Army lost power and watched the Romans flee.

At this moment, a huge battleship, emitting black smoke, sailed majestically.

"Ironclad, our ironclad." Seeing this scene, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty cheered together.

The Romans, who had escaped from the encirclement, did not dare to relax in the slightest. They paddled so hard that their calves began to cramp and the muscles in their thighs and arms ached.

Seeing that the battleships leaving the enemy were getting farther and farther away, and the enemy's battleships were staying there. They finally relaxed, secretly glad that they had escaped from the sea of suffering.

The Roman admirals also breathed a sigh of relief and lay down directly on the deck to rest.

He just wanted to hurry back now and report today's terrible experience to Archduke Stefan, but he suddenly found that he still hadn't figured out where those terrible enemies came from and which country they were.
