Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 7 Chapter 4: Battle for the Sea (Part 1)

? "That's the sound of the waves!" Compared to Arslan and Semiius, who lived in the inland and used to live on horseback, Salius still served Grand Duke Anastasius for ten years. The most familiar thing in Moriah was the waves on the island. Even if he was in a foreign land, he recognized the sound of the wind for the first time. It was the sound of the tide that would only be seen near the coast.

   This means that they have walked out of the hinterland of Burgas and leaned on the shore of the Black Sea——

   And at this moment, Justinian, who had always had a low expression, stretched his brows, and finally put down the big rock in his heart. The map of the empire presented by Uncle Bewasili in Constantinople really came in handy, helping Justinian and his army to pass through Burgas safely without guidance. Their original destination-North Burgas Bay. On the way, it can be said that even Justinian was worried, because he could only rely on a map that he could not guarantee the correctness or not. Once he was slightly careless, Justinian and his army would surely die. There is no burial place. I have to say that Justinian’s doing this is a gamble.

   "Speed ​​up the march!"

In the voice of Justinian’s command, the new army of Moriah and the Vadarutai cavalry who had been hesitating before regrouping their spirits quickly accelerated their pace. They were approaching the coastline, getting closer, and even the air was full. The salty taste of the wet sea water.

After rushing through the bushes, I saw the Turkic warrior who opened the way with a machete and split the plants blocking the road. At this time, what finally appeared in everyone's eyes was a vast expanse of the sea. This is Justin. Ni and his army chose the final destination of the southward journey.

North Burgas Bay, once a very important maritime stronghold of the empire on the Black Sea trade line, was once one of the most prosperous places where Bulgaria was ruled by the empire, but with the protracted war caused by the independence of the Bolgarians, here The original town ports have been turned into ruins. When Justinian and the others arrived here, only a piece of rubble was left on the seashore. And here is where Justinian and Antonia Doria agreed to meet.

But when Justinian looked around, there seemed to be nothing on the desolate coast, and there was no trace of people in the empty space—this was clearly the destination agreed upon in the letter that Antonia passed to him. But at this moment, why is there no half-person figure. A look of astonishment appeared on Justinian's face for a while, and a deep anxiety also enveloped his heart at this time.

   And just as Justinian was hesitating, a voice suddenly rang in his ear.

   "We finally met, Justinian."

   On the other side, on the treacherous black sea waves, a series of forbidden sea pursuits have already begun at this moment.

When the Genoese sailors finally saw the Venetian warship approaching at full speed in the rear, they discovered that it was not a single ship that was chasing them, but rather a small fleet of ships that were not too large or small, but sufficient. A fatal threat to Genoese.

In the wind and rain, the golden lion battle flag fluttered even more hideously, and the commander in charge of this military operation, Count Ranieri, was determined to win at this moment, even if he was accompanied by another nobleman, Baron Vernier, who strongly opposed it and could not stop it. Him. At this moment, Ranieri Dandoro chose an easy-to-impact team-two "V"-shaped longitudinally arranged, the first V-shaped composed of three medium-sized sailing boats led by him, the leader is him Lead the flagship. The second "V" type is an old-fashioned transport sailing ship and two small armed merchant ships, a total of six sailing towards the isolated Genoese sailors.

   This is undoubtedly a purely offensive queue. Looking at this scene, whether it is Antonia, Christopher and the other people on the boat, they understand that they have no retreat. The Venetian on the opposite side simply wants to put them to death.

   And while the crowd was waiting for hesitation, the voice of the one-eyed old man Christopher slammed everyone present.

   "Don't panic, the enemy is bluffing, I hope we are in a mess. Toril, let the port side shoot at the Venetians, let them know how good we are!"

Although he is a well-known surgeon in Genoa, Christopher in his early years also devoted himself to the army of the Republic and was never ambiguous. One of his eyes was lost in the battle, so he was facing a dangerous situation. The old man instead He reacted faster than the other young people around him and gave orders.

   With a cry, the Genoese sailors who had just awakened from their dreams just came back to their senses, realizing that they would die without a place to bury them if they waited like this again. The skilled sailor can see at a glance that the enemy on the opposite side is swarming at first glance, but the V-shaped formation is hidden and mysterious~www.readwn.com~ Once the opponent catches up, it must become a bone gangrene. , So you must never let the other person come close!

   Then the sailors hurriedly adjusted the small ballista on the ship and aimed at the Venetian behind them, and immediately started bombarding, giving them an unhesitating blow. Since it is a battle of life and death, they will not consider the consequences of anything they do. The Genoese sailors had only one goal to destroy the enemy in front of them.

   I saw the pitch-ignited ballista ball engulfed in flames and immediately cut through the wind and rain in the sky and shot towards the Venetian fleet, and this scene immediately fell into the eyes of the Venetian sailors.

However, looking at this scene, Ranieri Dandoro is still not in a hurry. At the age of nearly forty, he has already inherited all his father’s mind and nature. Even in the face of a dangerous situation, he can still do nothing to change, let alone. Saying that he now has six ships, large and small, and there is only one warship on the opposite side. As long as it is handled properly, Ranieri is sure that the Genoese will not escape.

   All the Venetians on the boat are looking at Ranieri, they are all waiting for Plekhanov's order.

  At this moment, the man's eyes are full of steel will.

   "I want to evade, and at the same time overtake those Genoese stupid donkeys! Let Plufman outflank the left to cut off their retreat!"

Following Ranieri Dandro’s order to attack, a small trebuchet aimed at a battleship on the Venetian’s ship, almost firing at the same time as they evaded the Genoese ballista. The fiery flame drew a line in the sky. A beautiful and trembling arc.

   And the original pursuit also turned into a naval battle at this moment. At this moment a new prelude has been opened!
