Eagle Flag of Epirus

The Venetian warship gradually accelerated, and seeing the lonely Genoese warship about to be overtaken, it seemed that everyone on board was in a disaster.

Getting closer, and at this moment, the Genoese sailors on the ship finally saw the Venetian warship chasing them. The new multi-masted warship, whose huge body seemed to crash, would be enough to knock them apart.

"The other party is coming, Lord Christopher!" At this juncture, the Genoese sailors also had to get anxious. After all, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. It was a piece of cake for the other party to knock them down, and at the moment he was at the helm. Christopher didn't seem to care at all.

"Are you ready?" The one-eyed old man asked again, looking calmly at Antonia and Peter Grandmaster behind him.

On the side, Antonia Doria nodded, but she was still a little nervous. She did not expect that the old man in front of her would burst into such madness, but after all, it was a gamble, and the bet was for the entire boat. life. This is not a deduction on the sand table in the past, but a real struggle between life and death.

Can they really turn things around?

Seeing the huge Genoese warship approaching step by step, and seeing that the opponent did not fire any more, he made it clear that he was going to use the humiliating method of crashing and sinking to end the long pursuit, but at this moment Christopher immediately concluded that the opponent's commander was extremely arrogant. , And this will be the key for him to turn the situation around, the other party has to pay the price for his arrogance.

"Anchor!" There was a violent cry, only to hear the old man roar, and if others heard it, he would be dumbfounded. After all, it was incredible that he issued such an order at this time.

However, the Genoese sailors on the ship had already followed Christopher for many years. Subconsciously, the sailors on the ship dropped the anchor and fell into the sea. On this road, they all proceeded along the coastal waters, so this sea area was covered with submerged reefs, and the anchor that fell into the sea directly hooked on a reef.

"Everyone hurry up!" Just listen to Christopher's order while letting his subordinates loosen the rudder.

Once again, without warning, the entire sailboat shook violently, leaning against the sea to draw an astonishing arc. At that moment, they passed by the Venetian warships that followed one after another from behind.

On the sea, the Genoese sailing boat is like a pendulum, because the anchor hooked on the reef unexpectedly avoided the death collision of the opponent. Although the huge inertia almost made their ship almost torn and capsized, they succeeded in the end.

Although the risk has worked. For a time, the two ships were almost close to each other. Looking at this scene, the Venetians on the boat were also stunned. They thought they had a chance to win, but they didn't expect the other party to make such an unexpected move.

"Get ready to fight!" Christopher finally won the bet, and the next victory is crucial!

It’s not uncommon to turn the naval technology duel into a land battle. This tactic is not uncommon. As early as a thousand years ago, the Romans relied on this method to defeat the maritime overlord Carthage in the Punic War. This method of warfare is used to reduce the opponent's advantage in naval battles. Especially the Venetians on the Mediterranean Sea that are now rampant. Although their navy is strong, they have seldom used hand-to-hand tactics. Many battles in the past have proved this point. Of course, such shortcomings also exist for Genoese, but Christopher's underling is undoubtedly the exception.

As early as several years ago, as the Roman Empire continued to weaken, the Genoese secretly opened up a colony in Kafa, and in response to the harsh environment, their sailors were no longer confined to their mother state, but lived in the North Sea. The barbarians-Ross and Tatars have everything, and because these barbarians living on the coast are completely different from their inland relatives, they are good at water wars and often become pirates that ravage the surrounding area. Then Christopher came here and did The first thing is to incorporate these desperadoes who are not afraid of death.

Therefore, at this moment, the Venetians are about to face the rivals not the Italians like them, but a group of wicked people in the north. Christopher's tactics are to turn disadvantages into their advantages. In this case, even if the Venetians want to use a catapult to shoot at such close range, they can't threaten them at all. Then there will only be short-handed combat.

"What—" Shocked by the sudden scene in front of him, Cynvenir looked at the Genoese warship close at hand in amazement, unable to believe his eyes. Originally, he thought that these people's battleships were bound to be hit and sunk. But the other party's behavior was far beyond his expectation. It turned out that they weren't ready to catch it from the beginning. I'm even afraid that the previous showing of weakness was just to paralyze them.

"Ha~ I was deceived by you!" Seeing what happened~www.ltnovel.com~ Ranieri Dandorou couldn't help but become a little interested in the commander on this ship. "This is indeed my negligence, but if you think that you can win victory in this way, it can only show that you—"

"Too naive!" In the next second, there was a trace of hideousness on the man's face.

"Everyone is ready to join the battle!"

Even if the land warfare is not the Venetian, but behind Ranieri Dandro, his sailors are several times those of Genoa, not to mention that the elite guards around him have pulled out their weapons early. I am ready to compete with these Genoese.

...

"When the time comes, you will hide behind me." Despite his old age, Christopher also drew his saber at this time, protecting Antonia behind him.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Chris, I can protect myself by myself." The girl stubbornly said, rejecting the old man's kindness. The next battle must be a deadly battle. She doesn't want the old man to be distracted.

And Christopher didn't insist, and nodded: "Well, you pay attention to safety, don't risk it alone!"

After speaking, the old man turned around and raised the long sword in his hand above his head, and let out a low roar like an angry lion:

"Take up your weapons! It's time to give those arrogant Venetian idiots a bit of color!"

As this command came down, the Genoese sailors who could not wait for a long time threw out the scratching hooks in their hands that were already eager to try, and the next moment, the sailors who fought on the side jumped onto the deck of the enemy warship in front of them, one by one. In comparison, their bravery is no less than that of the army of any country, and witnessing this scene, although the number of Venetians is a little more, they were caught off guard, and they were caught off guard.
