Molested Zulong at the beginning

All he saw was a behemoth that was four or five times their size, appearing in his line of sight.

They Rome is located in the Mediterranean Sea, relying on nautical trade, shipbuilding technology can be described as very developed, can build three to 40 meters long, five or six meters wide ships, can carry more than 300 soldiers at a time.

But compared to the behemoth in front of him, it's like a three-year-old child meeting a muscular man who needs to look up to see the person standing on the bow.

The strong visual impact makes people stunned for a while.

What made them even more horrified was that there were more than one such huge ship, and the fog on the sea gradually dissipated, followed by one after another.

The flags of black birds are painted on one side of the ship, fluttering in the wind, looking from afar, it looks like the overlord of the sea.

Doing nothing, just driving forward is enough to make people lose all courage.

"General...let's withdraw."

The soldiers on the Roman warship had a layer of cold sweat on their foreheads.

After all, the size gap between the two sides is really too big. As long as the opponent collides head-on, their warship will be overturned directly and they will die in this sea area.

The Roman general came back to his senses, looked at the fearful gazes of his subordinates, and snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of? The bigger the ship, the slower it moves. Although we are not as big as them in size, we are far more flexible than them." other side."

"As long as you make good use of the advantages of flexibility, you can directly bypass the flanks, let the soldiers land on it, and take the ship."

"After all, how much food and commodities can be transported by such a large merchant ship at one time is simply a priceless treasure. If we bring the ship back to Rome, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely reward us heavily..."

When everyone heard this, the fear on their faces dissipated, and they began to look at the treasure ship where Bai Su was with greedy eyes.

Indeed, as the general said, such a large ship can pull the goods at one time, which is almost equivalent to dozens of others, so how much more money can it make.

Naturally, such a good baby cannot be easily missed.

Moreover, just like a group of lions hunting cattle, although the cattle are bigger, they will only flee when faced with the pursuit of the group of lions, without the slightest resistance.

So they all began to change the course, and began to lean towards the flank of the Daxia warship, trying to wait until the distance was tightened before throwing out the hook lock, killing people and seizing the ship.

And this big ship flying the Xuanniao flag is really as heavy as what its master said, and there is no sign of changing its direction at all. Obviously, it is too late.

Thinking of this, their faces suddenly showed excitement. One by one, they drew out their daggers, drew their longbows and sat down to prepare for the battle.

Great Xia Treasure Ship, above the deck.

Zhang Han's slender black eyebrows frowned slightly, and he looked at Bai Su next to him with some doubts: "My lord, why are they approaching our artillery?"

The corner of Bai Su's mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a smile, "Maybe he wants to kill people and seize the ship. Now that we're within range, we can fire."

Zhang Han nodded lightly, and gestured to the lieutenant beside him.

Soon, the flag bearers on board began to wave the flag.

In the astonished eyes of the Roman soldiers, they saw a black thing with a burning fuse, presenting a graceful parabola, falling towards their warship.

After a moment.

boom!

A huge hollow suddenly exploded in the hull, and a large amount of seawater began to pour in.

These Roman soldiers froze for a moment, then howled in horror.

This...the people on the Xuanniao warship, could it be the incarnation of Zeus? Why can they summon thunder on a sunny day and sink their warship?

Some quick-response people began to turn the rudder to try not to escape.

After all, in this endless sea, the sinking of a warship is tantamount to a death sentence, and there is no way out.

However, it is not so easy to leave now.

Bai Su gave an order, and the warship began to speed up at full speed. As coal was continuously added to the boiler room, thick smoke billowed from the chimney, and a scene that terrified the Roman soldiers appeared.

The speed of the heavy ship in their eyes began to soar suddenly. No matter how hard they tried to slide the oars, they couldn't escape the pursuit of the Great Xia warship.

They could only watch helplessly as the distance between the two sides got closer and closer. The Daxia Treasure Ship reached a height of 40 meters, which directly blocked the sunlight, and a huge shadow enveloped their ship.

For a while, above the sea, the wails of Roman soldiers could be heard endlessly.

The Roman warships were either bombed to pieces, or directly overturned by Da Xia's treasure ships.

The Roman navy, which is usually proud of it, was completely wiped out in just over an hour.

The Roman general was floating on the sea with a piece of broken deck in his arms. He stared blankly at the monster that was puffing out black mist and constantly making thunder, and murmured: "My God, could this be the angry Zeus? God's punishment that came down?"

Chapter 470 Nero, I have the advantage

City of Rome.

in the palace.

A girl with a graceful body was dragging her chin with one hand, while stroking a male lion prostrated beside the throne with the other hand.

She was wearing a gorgeous red and white palace dress. The open neckline could reveal a deep gully. The smooth fabric of silk was close to her plump body, outlining a graceful outline. Her golden hair was combed meticulously.

Under the beautiful eyebrows, a pair of emerald green eyes with a haughty look, a tall nose bridge, and red lips, outlined a noble face.

Such a beautiful woman has a dignified and elegant temperament, but also bewitching and noble, people can't help but lose their minds for a while.

She is the current emperor of Rome, Nero.

"Your Majesty..." came a cold and nervous voice.

A woman dressed as a priest walked in quickly, and she said solemnly: "It's not good, something happened."

Nero stroked lightly twice, the big Roman "Gold Gradient" cat next to him.

She turned her head, with a smile on her face: "High Priest, what happened to make you so flustered."

The high priest smiled wryly and said: "I thought before facing Serris, such a powerful country, we must be careful, but now my bad premonition has come true, Serris has declared war on us, you see... This is their credential."

As she spoke, she took out a letter of credence from her bosom and handed it over.

Nero patted the buttocks of the big Roman "Gold Gradient" cat twice, and the lion shook his head and walked out of the hall.

She stretched out her hand to take the letter and looked at it, her slender brows could not help but frown.

The content of this book is very simple...

The Central Plains is a kingdom of heaven and a country of etiquette. Originally, it loved peace and disliked wars, but Rome repeatedly sent troops to invade our Central Plains territory, humiliated our envoys, and killed our caravans. What can be tolerated? intolerable.

The Central Plains decided to launch a counterattack against Rome...

Nero's green eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The high priest asked with some doubts: "Your Majesty, what are you laughing at?"

Nero wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "I laugh at the whims of the king of Seris, let alone whether they can be the opponents of our Roman army."

"Even if we can win, our two countries are separated by thousands of miles, and there is the country of Anxi in the middle. What are they going to use to attack us? Do they have to put wings on their horses so that they can fly over?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help laughing while clutching her stomach, apparently she didn't take the threat in the letter of credence seriously at all.

The high priest on the side frowned slightly, and suddenly couldn't help asking: "Seres' cavalry can't rush over, but what if they go by water?"

Nero was taken aback for a moment, and asked with some doubts, "Waterway?"

The high priest nodded, and immediately said: "It is much easier to dispatch troops and horses by sea than by land. Food, grass and luggage can also be transported by ships. If Seris has a navy as powerful as ours in Rome, it may not be impossible to come and crusade. us."

Nero curled his lips in disdain, and snorted softly: "Then they are hitting a stone with an egg and looking for their own death."

There is a reason why she is so confident.

Since Rome defeated the powerful enemy Carthage and unified the Mediterranean area, it has established an invincible navy, and no one can shake their status of sea power.

But even if they are strong, they are not capable of forming a large-scale naval army and sailing far to conquer a powerful country, let alone others.

Even if Serris organizes a group of tens of thousands of sailors to come, facing a big country with hundreds of thousands of soldiers like Rome is no different from sending him to death.

At this moment, a disheveled Roman soldier ran in with a horrified expression: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, our navy has been attacked. A total of 3 people, including the commander... the entire army was wiped out."

The smile on Nero's face froze suddenly.

Her green eyes sparkled with anger, and she gritted her teeth tightly, "What happened? It was a total of 3 pigs. Even [-] pigs would have to be caught for three days. How could they suddenly disappear?"

The Roman soldier tremblingly said with fear on his face: "We found a huge fleet on the sea, especially the ship. I have never seen such a big ship in my life. The huge thing spewed out black mist like billowing black clouds. Then thunder fell out of thin air, and one by one our ships were blown to pieces."

"This... This is simply the anger of Zeus, the king of the gods. We mortals really have no resistance to such divine power."

Nero sneered, waved his hand and said, "It's impossible, there's no such thing as supernatural power in the world, you must be a cowardly person who fled the battle timidly, and made up a reason to lie to me, right?"

The Roman soldier smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty, what the general said, he realizes a little bit of lies, everything he saw with his own eyes, the mighty fleet on the sea, after defeating our navy, All the way into the Mediterranean Sea, there was a big battle with Carthage's navy."

"The last general took advantage of their temporary delay and rushed back all the way to pass on the news. If His Majesty doesn't believe it, you can quickly ask someone to inquire about the news. If there is half a lie, you can chop off my head..."

Nero's slender black eyebrows tightened for a while. Although the news was unbelievable and sounded like a fake, just in case, it's better to send someone to verify it.

She bit the slender nail on her thumb, and after pondering for a moment, she ordered: "Come on, hurry up and find out if the news is true."

"Yes."

The two guards in the hall quickly turned and left.

After the sky approached dusk, the two guards who went to inquire about the news came back.

There was a smile on Nero's fair and pretty face, and he couldn't help but said: "How is it, is it true that the news is really fake, and there is no enemy attack at all?"

The two guards looked at each other with strange expressions.

One of them summoned up the courage to stand up, stroked his chest and saluted: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the news of the enemy's attack is indeed true. A mighty naval fleet, flying the flag of a black strange bird, entered our Mediterranean Sea all the way. The fighting Carthaginian navy has been... completely annihilated."

"After successively destroying the sailors who tried to stop us along the way, they are rushing towards our city of Rome. According to this speed, I am afraid that it will take less than seven or eight days to forcefully land at the port and kill us in the city of Rome." Come……"

Nero staggered back a few steps, and sat on the throne with an expression of disbelief on his face: "Where did this group of powerful sailors come from? Did the sailors of Carthage ever It's our Rome, the best of the best, how could this be..."

The high priest kept repeating in his mouth: "Black strange bird, wait, are you talking about this pattern?"

As she spoke, she picked up a pen and drew a pattern on the paper.

There was a trace of surprise on the soldier's face, and he couldn't help but said: "How did you know, High Priest, that's right, the pattern embroidered on the fleet flag is just like what you drew."

The high priest closed his eyes with a heavy face, and sighed: "Is that so?"

Seeing her like this, Nero hurriedly asked: "High Priest, do you know these people? What is their background?"

The high priest smiled wryly, and said, "Your Majesty, this pattern is called the Black Bird, and it is the totem of Siris. This is their sailor..."

"This is Serris' sailor!!!"

Nero was stunned, and subconsciously looked at the credentials on the table. The counterattack against Rome that she laughed at before was actually true.

The high priest frowned, looked at Nero and asked, "Your Majesty, the Seris warships are so powerful that we can't resist them at all. Right now they are obviously coming towards our city of Rome, and they want to breathe a sigh of relief." What should we do if we invade the capital?"

Nero bit his thumbnail and walked up and down the hall, after a while of contemplation, he said, "Since we can't win the water battle, then call our Roman legion and annihilate them in one go after they land. "

"No matter how powerful the warship is, it still depends on the army to truly decide the outcome of the war."

"After all, just relying on a mere fleet is not enough to block our maritime trade for a long time. The destroyed warships are rebuilt. They must land and fight in order to defeat us in one fell swoop."

"As long as they are lured to land and face a decisive battle on the battlefield, they will definitely not be the opponents of our Roman legion. After losing the advantage of the sea, we, who have the advantage of force, cannot lose."

"After all, with hundreds of thousands against [-], I have the obvious advantage. Each of us can drown them with a mouthful of saliva. How can you tell me to lose?"

The high priest nodded upon hearing the words, and that's all he can do now.

Chapter 470 The Desperate Roman Coach

Above the endless sea.

Gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the pungent smell of gunpowder drifted into the distance with the salty sea breeze.

After everything calmed down, the original Roman warships had disappeared, leaving only broken planks, and one after another, floating eagle flags could still be vaguely seen on the sea.

Standing on the deck, Zhang Han looked at the traces that were constantly floating with the waves, his slender brows could not help but frown: "Is this really the rumored Rome? Why is it so vulnerable?"

When Bai Su heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "These people are nothing more than ordinary sailboats, how can they compare with our fleet."

Even without the support of muskets, relying solely on the huge tonnage of the warships in the Central Plains and the huge power provided by the steam engines, these Roman sailors would have no resistance at all.

After all, today's Rome is at the level of cold weapons and sailing ships, and the level 30 version of the sailing ship is considered to be at the top level in the current matching ranks among countries.

However, under his single-handed promotion, Daxia fired the gunpowder, artillery, and steamboat in advance, and directly entered the level 60 version. The two sides broke out in a head-on conflict, which was naturally a one-sided result.

Zhang Han smiled embarrassingly, she thought about it carefully, and found that it was indeed the case.

Under the tremendous power of the artillery, the wooden sailboat couldn't resist at all, and the speed was completely crushed, and it couldn't run.

In this desperate situation, even if she tried her best to direct in the past, the result might not be the slightest exception.
