Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 7 Chapter 5: Battle for the Sea (Part 2)

The wind and rain on the sea are getting worse, and the Venetians who chased the Genoese did not relax at all. Like a pack of wolves, they pounced on the Genoese solitary paddle boat to pieces.

On the ship, Christopher, who presided over the overall situation, was still calm and calm. Of course, he was able to get generous treatment in the Doria family not only because of his medical skills. His early experience in the army made this one-eyed old man even face the unpredictable. The sea is still calm and free.

   "The enemies on the left are coming up, suppress them!"

   Christopher discovered that a small Venetian warship was trying to roundabout behind them, and then he roared.

And then there was a loud noise, a huge movement of the ballista tearing the air. I saw the burning asphalt barrel dashed through the air at an alarming speed and directly hit the mast of the Venetian sailing ship to break it. With a boom, half of the mast fell down and at the same time ignited the canvas, which quickly spread to the entire deck, and the terrible flames swallowed the small sailboat in an instant. Then the yelling Venetian sailors screamed and abandoned their ships and jumped into the sea, while the oarsmen at the bottom were killed in Huangquan without realizing what happened. To prevent them from trespassing. Everyone on the resignation guard is chained to the ship, and no one can remember their life and death in this critical situation, and they can only coexist and die with the ship.

   And the Genoese sailors who have witnessed all this are all happy, they have already had enough of those Venetians unscrupulously in their territory and domineering in their sea, it is time to give them back color! I saw that the huge flame quickly swallowed the wooden structure of the Venetian sailing ship, and the flowing asphalt was also mixed with some kerosene. The Venetian sailors could not put it out at all, and the entire battleship was lost. Fighting power, they can only watch it sink into the sea. With just one counterattack, Christopher made the arrogant Venetian pay a huge price, which made Antonia Doria on the ship widened his eyes and couldn't believe it.

   is so calm and decisive, and with swift means, it's no wonder that she had heard a long time ago that Grandpa Christopher had lost his eyes when he was fighting against the Venetians in his early years.

  ……

   Compared to the cheers of others, Christopher didn't have any joy on his face at this moment. In comparison, he seemed to be worried about something.

   Suddenly, the man yelled suddenly:

   "Left full rudder, do evasive action!"

   The power in his voice made almost everyone's heart tremble, but when he gave orders, people obeyed involuntarily, and he didn't dare to violate anything at all.

   Subconsciously, the sailor in charge of the helm manipulated the warship to make an emergency evasive action. At almost the same moment, the boulder projected by the Venetian trebuchet fell directly and was only a short distance away from the Genoese hull. It's the opponent's counterattack! In just a moment, the other party actually reacted, and it seemed that the other party could not be underestimated. After all, this was their old enemy and also a mortal enemy Venetian.

   Christopher, who sneered sneerly, didn't panic, at least he was still under his control now.

"At 12 o'clock, at two o'clock, bombard them! Sink the Venetians to feed the fish." Without even observing him, he immediately estimated the direction of the enemy ship by ballistics, and immediately, Christopher's men did not Any hesitation followed his orders. For this man, everyone on the ship believed that as long as he was there, all this could be reversed! After all, the adult they followed had a very high prestige in the Genoese stronghold of Kaffa.

   "Boom" just listen, the ballista on the Genoese ship once again fired a dangerous asphalt barrel, engulfed in fiery flames, and hit the Venetian sailboat.

   But seeing the flames soaring into the sky, the Venetian, who was full of confidence, was beaten into a daze for a while. He felt that he was in an ambush, and suddenly became confused.

   "We were in an ambush, we were in an ambush! Request support, request support!"

The small sailing ship that was first hit has almost disintegrated. The hull that was disconnected from the middle is gradually sinking to the bottom of the sea, and the sailors on the ship are crying for help. However, the wind and rain on the sea are getting more and more turbulent, and the clouds are densely covered in the sky. No one could see anyone who fell into the water, and no ship dared to approach there, because no one wanted to die. They had to beware of possible attacks at any time.

   Sitting on the relatively safe flagship on the other side, the young Baron Vernier stared at the scene in front of him, his eyes widened in horror.

**** it! How could this happen, obviously we have an absolute advantage, can it be said that they have ambush in advance?

While ordering his subordinates to counterattack, while looking at Ranieri Dandro who insisted on pursuing, Vernier said with a gloomy face: "Your Excellency Ranieri~www.wuxiaspot.com~ We have lost two ships. If this continues, instead of getting what we want, we will lose more."

   Vernier, who didn't support the Genoese tearing his face, wanted to persuade Ranieri Dandoro to give up, but he didn't know that this setback was not enough to make him regress.

Just listen to Ranieri Dandoro saying coldly: "It's just the loss of two small boats. What are you afraid of? The Genoese are just bluffing. They have no ambush at all." As the son of Enrique Dandoro, This war-fighting man could see through at a glance. Although the other party’s raid just now was shocking, it was only by means of familiarity with the conditions of the Black Sea. It is easy to deter others by these means, but it is wishful thinking to frighten himself. .

He immediately interrupted the persuasion of Cynvenir beside him, and only listened to Ranieri Dandoro's order to the flag officer beside him: "Let the second and third teams continue to advance as planned, and Pay attention to avoidance.” While ordering this, Ranieri also ordered the catapult shooter on his flagship to continue aiming at the enemy ship and shooting in an attempt to hinder the Genoese firepower output. Of course, Ranieri Dandoroth didn't care if it was possible to sink the opponent, because he really would rather the people on the ship die than to fall into the hands of the Greeks.

And Ranieri’s approach immediately made Christopher on the other side troublesome. If this goes on, the Venetian encirclement is shrinking step by step. If you don’t do anything, I’m afraid it’s really dead. Such a dilemma lies in his history of war. It can be said that it was the second time, and the Venetian who caused him such a big trouble last time was called Enrique Dandro.
