Roman Slave Owner

The 201st chapter naval battle (1)

The reputation of the Purple Sail Pirates is growing in this sea area. They defeated the Roman army in Sicily. They robbed many merchant ships. They are the most fierce pirates in the vicinity. Almost all of Li Wei's ships were robbed by them.

Hearing the news about the Purple Sail Pirates, the guards were not only not nervous, but excited.

They can be considered battle-tested, how could they be afraid of these little pirates.

"Notify everyone, get ready for battle, order to turn the bow of the ship, and prepare to lure the enemy."

Geta said to a bugle player beside him, and the bugle player immediately blew the curved copper horn.

The sound of the bronze horn resounded throughout the ship, and all the guards immediately took action.

They put on armor, picked up shields and daggers, carried javelins on their backs, and waited quietly in the cabin.

Even some of the oarsmen stopped and began to put on their armor for battle.

The whole big ship drew a big arc and began to turn backwards.

At this moment, the big three-breasted ship behind suddenly changed its course and directly ran into the turning Black Pearl.

The sharp copper horns reflected golden light in the sun, and some pirates were faintly yelling arrogantly at the bow.

"No, it's about to collide with the ship. You should go back to the cabin first, sir, or you may fall into the sea."

said the captain.

Geta nodded. He also knew that he was a landlubber, so he got into the cabin.

The captain kept issuing orders and adjusting the course of the ship, trying to minimize the damage caused by the collision.

"boom!"

The two big ships collided heavily, Geta and the others only felt a huge shock from the ship, and some people fell to the ground directly, but fortunately they were in the cabin, so they didn't have to worry about falling into the sea.

"Let the arrows! Let me shoot the arrows!"

Geta roared angrily, he was very sure that the people in front of him were here to rob the ship.

Western five-layer paddle boats have shooting holes and are equipped with a large number of ballistas inside.

Some of the guards immediately unwound their bowstrings, and then unloaded rockets as thick as javelins.

Wrapped in brimstone and pitch-coated burlap, the rocket's arrowheads are massive enough to penetrate the hull of an enemy ship and burn.

After the rocket is ignited, the rocket burns immediately and emits a pungent smell.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"..."

After smashing down the percussion hammer, huge burning crossbow bolts shot fiercely at the big three-layer ship.

Western ships are often coated with combustible materials such as resin and pine tar to prevent moisture.

A large number of arrows hit the triple-layer pirate ship, and the pirate ship immediately ignited thick smoke, and some places were already burning, and the pirates on the deck were yelling.

Some pirates started to put out the fire, some pirates hooked the Black Pearl with hooks, and some pirates picked up a long hook and sickle, which is a sharp weapon like a sickle, but it is tied to a very long pole , was a weapon of naval warfare at that time.

They waved their hooks, sickles and poles, and cut towards the cables that bound the sails.

The captain watched all this quietly,

He didn't stop it.

After several efforts, they cut the cable on the Black Pearl, the huge sail fell off, and the speed of the Black Pearl immediately dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The pirates cheered bursts of cheers, and some shouted arrogantly, thinking about how to revenge the sailors for a while.

Those pirates pulled the hook desperately, and the distance between the two big ships got closer and closer.

"Go and shoot the arrows, and cut off those hooks."

Geta said to the sailors.

This is not the time to expose the guards, lest those pirates turn around and flee.

Those sailors stepped forward one after another, and some picked up axes to chop like those tight ropes.

Some shot at the pirates on the deck of the three-oared ship with a crossbow, and shot arrows at the pirates on the deck.

Because of the condescending position, the pirates had nowhere to hide, and several pirates were shot by bows and crossbows.

The pirates yelled, and some fought back with javelins, but because of the protection of the ship's gang, they only shot one sailor who was cutting the rope.

But the two ships were still getting closer and closer, and finally they were close together.

At this moment, a pirate jumped off the tower of the triple-layered ship, and then stepped heavily on the Black Pearl.

Looking at the sailors who seemed to be in a daze, the pirates laughed cruelly and uttered all kinds of obscenities like they were looking at helpless little white rabbits.

"Today we must peel off your skin."

"No, I'm going to fuck your assholes."

"..."

Then he killed these sailors, but he didn't realize that these sailors didn't seem to have the slightest fear, but there was pity in their eyes.

Some of the other pirates used hooks, and some connected the pedals one by one to the Black Pearl, and then rushed aboard the Black Pearl regardless of the bumps.

Seeing this, Geta sneered and said: "The first and second hundred teams attack, let those sailors retreat."

Hearing this, the already hungry and thirsty two centurions rushed out of the cabin and killed the pirates.

The pirates were caught off guard by the guards who rushed out suddenly. Those guards were in heavy armor and held steel swords in their hands.

The dozens of pirates who rushed to the deck were quickly killed.

Seeing this, the other pirates were taken aback, how could there be such guards on this ship.

So they fled back desperately, and then cursed on their own boat, all kinds of obscenities made some guards very angry.

But at this time, they could only bear with it, because those big ships were getting closer and closer.

At this time, the speed of the Black Pearl was greatly reduced, like a helpless girl being chased by a pirate ship.

"Notify those ballistae that they only shoot at the three-story paddle boat, not the purple sail boat. I must capture this boat today."

Geta said with a sneer.

"Yes, sir."

Seeing the catapults firing non-stop at the trireme, some of the trireme even emitted thick smoke.

Not only was Lysix not angry, but he smiled and said, "It seems that our enemies are very tenacious."

"It's just a dying struggle."

Pylos said cruelly.

Lesix agreed with this very much. No matter how tenacious this ship was, how could it be the opponent of so many pirate ships.

The fleets of the two sides approached quickly, and Lysix was even imagining their desperate faces.

"Archers step forward, rockets ready, aim at the sails of the trireme."

Geta continued.

After receiving Geta's order, the archers immediately stepped forward and stood on both sides of the ship. They bent their bows and set arrows, aiming at the three-breasted ships rushing from both sides.

The people behind lit the rockets for them, and the rockets ignited one by one.

"Fire arrows! Let me shoot arrows!"

Gaita said.

The archers immediately let go of the bowstrings, and according to the commanding heights, one after another rockets were thrown towards the sails. The size of the sails was huge, and some rockets easily hit the sails, and the sails immediately caught fire.
