Chapter 820: I'm sorry, you hit the muzzle
The Hideaway sailor left the port of Southampton and sailed at full speed.
With the help of astrologers, the Paradise sailors crossed the Strait of Gibraltar in a short period of time, entered the Mediterranean Sea, and went straight to the Suez Canal.
Lu Yao sat alone in the cabin, silent. At this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly hurriedly walked in.
"Lord Qiqi, there is a fleet ahead to block my way." Zhou Yu clenched his fists and said.
"Who?" A sharp light appeared in Lu Yao's eyes, and the fire hidden in his heart suddenly surged up again.
"I don't know, the astrologer who accompanied the ship claimed that it was the Roman Imperial fleet, I don't know if it was true." Zhou Yu said truthfully.
Lu Yao was stunned, very surprised, but after thinking about it, he was relieved.
The history of Europa interception also includes the civilization of the ancient Roman Empire. Historically, the Roman Empire was very domineering, and the Mediterranean coast was basically a sphere of influence, and it is not surprising that it appeared in the waters near the Suez Canal.
It's a pity that the ancient Roman fleet didn't come at the right time.
"Force them to give way, and if they refuse, destroy them." Lu Yao said lightly and re-entered his thoughts.
Zhou Yu hugged his fists and took the order, but he didn't bother, and turned around to give an order.
With Zhou Yu's order, the Xanadu Water Division instantly entered a state of combat readiness. The dragon cannon and the Divine Fire Raven were pushed onto the deck, and a team of soldiers carried supplies from the bilge, and only when they were ready did they put down a small boat and send people over.
The fact is obvious, NPCs have the same attitude towards players, regardless of whether they are Chinese or foreign.
The Roman Empire was so used to running rampant in the Mediterranean that it was impossible to ignore a paradise sailor that had never been heard of. The boat passed and never returned. And this Roman fleet gradually assumed a fighting posture.
Zhou Yu learned that the envoy sent out had not returned, but the opposite side put on a fighting posture, and immediately sneered and ordered: "If you dare to kill my envoy, the prince has an order, destroy it." ”
The flag was raised, and the Xanadu Sailor Division immediately divided into two teams, each with hundreds of fighting ships left and right, and made a big circle on the sea, and swooped down on the two wings of the Roman fleet opposite, while the main force of the Chinese army couldn't help but say that it pressed at full speed.
The two sides were not far apart, and as soon as the Xanadu sailors moved, the Roman fleet was also launched, which was also divided into three ways and met them separately. It wasn't long before the pair could see almost clearly on the opposite deck.
At this time, the warships on the left and right wings took the lead, black smoke rose up, and the farthest range of the Divine Fire Crow roared into the sky, drawing a wonderful arc, and fell into the front fleet of the Roman fleet, at least five Roman warships were shot, and the deck was in chaos.
As the Divine Fire Flying Crow was launched, the two sides walked opposite each other, and the distance became closer, entering the range of the dragon cannon. In an instant, ten thousand cannons were fired, and the dense artillery fire covered the Roman fleet, and in an instant, at least dozens of warships were caught in flames, and the famous Roman soldiers were covered in fire, screaming and jumping off the deck to survive.
After a wave of blows, the Roman fleet was completely panicked, the formation was obviously out of order, and there were even bigger flaws. Zhou Yu was so experienced that he immediately ordered the whole army to press on it, trying to besiege the Roman fleet before it could get used to it.
At that time, two more fighting ships of 2,000 ships each came out from the left and right flanks to meet the front team and complete the outflanking and encirclement of the Roman fleet as soon as possible.
Suddenly encountering a powerful attack beyond common sense, the Roman fleet did not adapt until more than half an hour, but it was too late. Because of contempt, the left and right wings have been blown up by the Xanadu sailor. In the middle lane, Zhou Yu sat in charge of the Chinese army, steadily and quickly pressing step by step, eating the periphery of the Roman fleet layer by layer like peeling an apple.
After the battle of the Canary Islands, Zhou Yu has a deeper understanding of the current main tactics, relying on the absolute long-range advantage, and approaching in an orderly manner.
At the moment when the left and right flanks of the Xanadu Sailors completed the outflanking and encirclement, the fate of this Roman fleet was already sealed.
When the Roman fleet was beaten to the last hundred ships, the white flag was raised on the flagship, which was a signal of surrender that was common in ancient and modern China and abroad.
Zhou Yu was relieved, and immediately ordered to board the ship to collect the prisoners. He was a smart man and knew a very realistic truth. A war without spoils of war is a lost war.
The stubborn resistance of the Roman fleet, to the point that there were only a hundred ships left, really made him feel worried. Such a stubborn opponent is indeed a great hidden danger.
Lu Yao did not go out to watch the battle and press the formation. The player is helpless against him, and the NPC is even more helpless against him. The ancient Roman army was very strong, but the sea power was not even comparable to the player. With Zhou Yu commanding the operation, and with the assistance of black technology, it is impossible to lose no matter how you think about it.
At this time, Zhou Yu walked in, followed by Gao Shun and a Roman NPC general. The two pushed the captive in front of Lu Yao and forced him to kneel, and then Zhou Yu clenched his fists and returned to his life.
"The last general will live up to the trust of the prince, and capture the commander of the enemy army alive and present it to the prince."
Lu Yao waved his hand, motioned for Zhou Yu and the others to step aside and wait, then carefully looked at the captive and asked, "Tell me your name." ”
Although the captive was captured, he behaved calmly, and his eyebrows could not hide the arrogance that seemed to be innate. He looked up at Lu Yao and said lightly: "My name is Antony, a Roman nobleman." ”
Lu Yao raised his eyebrows and asked, "The most important Anthony under Julius Caesar?" ”
Anthony changed slightly, but he didn't deny it, and said calmly: "Yes, it's me." ”
Lu Yao smiled, thinking that he was just fighting a senseless encounter, but he didn't expect to capture one of Julius Caesar's most important subordinates.
This is the Antony of the Triumvirate of the Ancient Roman Empire, who ruled ancient Rome with Augustus the Great, that is, Octavian, and Lepida, and is definitely a very heavy bargaining chip.
"Where are you going with your fleet?" Lu Yao asked again with a smile.
"Egypt." Anthony is honest, and may also be reluctant to speak to a player who has never looked at him in the eye.
"Egypt?" Lu Yao's heart moved, and he remembered a memory fragment from his previous life.
Egypt was a vassal state of the Roman Empire at this time in history, and Queen Cleopatra VII, also known as Cleopatra, sought independence. In the previous life, Egypt relied on player power to leave the Roman Empire behind, which led to many wars.
However, Egyptian players have the support of the Middle East oil tycoons, and they have played well with Europa players, making Egypt truly independent and has always been the strongest force in Africa.
Antony raised his head and said lightly: "Cleopatra VII betrayed Caesar, and I was ordered to conquer Egypt, but I didn't expect to suffer defeat at your hands. I demand the redemption of myself as well as my army. ”
Lu Yao smiled and shook his head: "I can agree to your request, but not now." ”
Anthony's expression was visibly relieved, and he stood up on his own. Gao Shun's face next to him turned cold, and he was about to step forward to subdue this rude barbarian, but was stopped by Lu Yao raising his hand.
At this moment, a junior colonel hurriedly came to report: "Lord Qiqi, there is an enemy in front of you." ”
