The Vandals' ships drew closer, and as they drew closer, the bowstrings of the archers pulled further and further back, and everyone held their bated mind, silently waiting for their commander to give the command to "fire".

"Steady!"

Unfortunately, their commander continued to warn them to exercise restraint, and the commander's eyes were fixed on the nearest Vandal ship without blinking. Close enough that he could even see the sailors on the Vandal's ship looking at him, they looked at each other, and the commander was stunned, but in the space of a few seconds. Hundreds of arrows were fired from the Vandal's warship, pouring like a torrential rain.

"Sneer......"

The commander didn't even have a chance to give an order before he fell full of arrows, and even more so with the archers behind him, more than thirty of them fell in an instant.

"Fight back, fight back!"

Without the commander, they had no reason to be restrained, and there were shouts among them, and it became a command to spread among them.

"Brush!"

Almost at the same time, everyone's right hands were released at the same time, and dozens of fiery bows and arrows broke away from their bowstrings and swept towards the oncoming Vandals.

At this time, when they looked down, they found that their commander was out of breath and had no one to command, which was the worst thing except for casualties.

"Don't be stunned, the Vandals are closer, prepare rockets, rockets!"

The rest of the archers came to their senses at the shouts of the old soldiers, and they hurried to draw new arrows and set them on fire, and by this time the second wave of Vandals had swept in.

"Dodge, dodge!"

The archers, who were still igniting the arrows, were knocked down in an instant, and the other archers hurried to hide behind the neat shields that hung over the railings on both sides of the ship, and the arrows "clanked" into the shields they were dodging.

"Get up! Counterattack! ”

The archers immediately picked up the still burning arrows and aimed them at the Vandal ship that was close in front of them, and drew their bowstrings.

"Click......"

There was a snap of bowstrings, and bows and arrows with a few rockets stuck in the Vandal warship, which didn't seem to do any damage to it, but only caught fire.

"Slow down! Aspect speed! ”

Aware of the danger of entering the distance, the crowd beckoned to the rowers in unison, but it was too late, and they saw the oncoming Vandal warship with a ramming horn on the front end. It is not difficult to guess, because there are so many barbarians in the empire, they fight with the empire by being mercenaries, whether it is land or sea battles, they have always been the most reliable companions behind the Romans, and certainly the most diligent students.

Such students are undoubtedly the most dangerous, they learn the way of life of the Romans, make themselves equal to the Roman civilization, learn the Romans' siege equipment and the forging of weapons on warships, they are more or less learning, this is dangerous, the Romans do not realize that the loss of such technology has made the surrounding barbarians not much different from their own strength. The war was the best proof of this, and it was not until the teachers and students turned against each other and saw each other with swords that the Romans had to be surprised to find that the barbarians, who were behind them and could only charge and roar, used the same equipment and tactics as they did.

"They're coming! Rush over! ”

It's almost a crying cry, and it's a powerless struggle. For it was too late for them to turn the bow of the ship, and the battering ship in front of them was speeding towards them, and from time to time there were huge crashing horns on the surface of the sea, and every time it entered the water, the waves beat like a hammer, and always beat the hearts of every archer and rower.

"I can't run away, I can't run away!"

Even though they tried their best to save it, the manpower of the warship was still clumsy, and it was not only time-consuming to turn the bow in such a hurry, but also exposed its most vulnerable side to the enemy's ramming angle without disguise.

The enemy's ships are getting closer and closer, everyone stays where they are, running, they can only jump ship, and after a while the ship is torn apart and falls into the sea, the difference is the same, so what else is there to say?

"Get ready to dive! Get ready to dive! ”

After all, there are still guys who are unwilling to die like this, and they have jumped ship one after another, and beckoned their companions on the ship. Holding a shield as a floating board in the middle of the water, as long as one person takes the lead, then the following ones will dive into the water one after another, and they will draw the shields placed on both sides of the railing.

Vandal's ship rushed before him, and the terrible ramming horn was so naked that the rest of the people who were still struggling to support themselves on the ship were stunned, and stood there not knowing what to do.

"Boom!"

It was as if the gods could not bear to see such a miserable situation, so in order to help these poor archers punish the Vandals from heaven.

No one could see what it was, only that a huge thing fell from the sky and hit the vandal warship that rushed in directly, and the roar covered all the cries, and even the Vandals were smashed to pieces on the sea by the "heavenly punishment" before they could scream.

What was left for the archers was the rushing waters and the broken planks of the torn ship.

"What? What is that? ”

The frightened crowd looked at the moment of silence on the ocean, and now the ramming ship that was about to tear them apart was gone, leaving only the wreckage floating on the sea!

"Could it be that God is saving us?"

An archer's trembling lips murmured, he probably couldn't have imagined that he would be saved.

"Hey, the one up there, pull us up!"

The archers under the ship who were floating on the sea with their shields in their hands saw that the danger was gone, so they shouted loudly to the ship.

"Hit the target, General!"

The soldier ran up to Hermanus, who looked at the bow ship out of danger, shook his head with a smile, and turned back to the soldier who was operating the trebuchet and shouted, "Well done!" ”

Looking back, you secretly said: "At least their luck is not ordinarily good now!" ”

It was not unreasonable for Hermanus to say this, because of the twenty light ships that came forward, only one of them was accurately saved.

"Father!" Beria stayed by Hermanus's side and looked at him and asked, "When are we going to attack?" ”

"It's now!" Hermanus said, beckoning forward, "Order the heavy battleships to move forward in parallel!" Light ramming ships protect the ship and be prepared to sacrifice yourself! ”

Seeing that these light archers returned in vain, and at the same time, Hermanus also let the Vandals know the power of his ship-borne trebuchet, and naturally they couldn't help but be afraid of such a heavy warship as Hermanus was riding.

"Forward, do not be afraid of them, forward!"

Orders were given one by one, and soon, the huge fleet began to move slowly, and every warship advanced step by step!
