"The Empire of Seven Hills." Andrea muttered to himself. His eyes became confused, as if he had fallen into a long dream.
He was born in the City of Seven Hills, a descendant of an ancient family in Liguria. Liguria was originally a municipality in the Empire of Seven Hills, but when he was born, this land had been occupied by the Alemannic Federation for a long time.
.
When he was thirty years old, an uprising broke out in Liguria against the Alemannic Federation. He commanded the navy and won numerous victories for the Ligurians, laying the foundation for the birth of the Ligurian Republic.
After the Republic of Liguria declared its independence, it sought assistance from the Seven Hills Empire for its own security and became a nominal tributary of the Seven Hills Empire. Andrea finally got his wish and became a member of the Seven Hills Empire.
His long-cherished wish came true, and Andrea thought that his life would be complete. However, as time went by, many Ligurians, including Andrea, discovered that the Seven Hills Empire they had longed for was nothing more than
It is just a phantom that has disappeared in history. The country now named "Seven Hills Empire" has not only lost its previous glory, but also its previous magnanimity. Their army is vulnerable and their civilization has stagnated.
If they don't move forward, their minds will no longer be as broad as the Mediterranean Sea.
Andrea thought more than once: Maybe the spirit of the Seven Hills Empire has died? What is left now is just a corpse waiting to rot?
And every time, he would give himself a slap in the face for thinking this way.
…
…
"Why are you panicking?"
Andrea stood calmly on the deck.
"Pay careful attention to the sea surface. These fires cannot burn on the sea surface. This is not ocean fire, but a poor imitation of ocean fire. The ocean here is so open, what role can ordinary fire play? Sonata
Third, teach these clowns a lesson!"
Several soldiers who played exchanged glances. The style of the music suddenly changed, becoming brisk and lively. The soldiers of the Republic of Liguria, who noticed the change in the music, reacted instantly and deflected the bow of the boat towards the left and right sides.
Let's go.
"Don't let them run out of our wings! Otherwise they will be treated like puppies again!" Ella jumped and shouted, "Surround both wings! Stop them!"
The ships of the Pirate Kingdom were originally operating according to this plan, and did not take much time to react. Seeing that the Pirate Kingdom was surrounding them from both sides, the Ligurian Republic's sailing route gradually changed from side to side to side to side to rear.
...Unexpectedly, just when it was about to enter the range of the Ocean Fire, the navy of the Republic of Liguria suddenly made a smart turn. The navy on the left turned from the side and rear to the right and front, and the navy on the right moved from the side and behind.
He moved forward to the left and took advantage of the Pirate Kingdom's opportunity to adjust the ship's bow, breaking it into pieces and inserting itself into the gap between the Pirate Kingdom's ships!
Such a bold action frightened all the soldiers of the Pirate Kingdom. Before they could respond effectively, the Ligurian Republic's fleet had quickly passed through row after row of enemy ships.
The ships at the rear of the Pirate Kingdom wanted to stop their advance, but their ship control skills and response at the station were far inferior to those of the Republic of Liguria. Not only did they fail to block the advance of the Republic of Liguria's fleet, but they were attacked one after another.
Collided with his own boat.
In an instant, the Republic of Liguria rushed behind the entire fleet of the Pirate Kingdom.
In the Pirate Kingdom's fleet, only the more than 100 ships in the front row are equipped with Ocean Fire, and the nearly 500 ships in the rear have only ballistae and bows and arrows as weapons for naval battles.
The music once again returned to its previous surging appearance! The navy of the Republic of Liguria shouted loudly, as if they had grasped victory in their hands!
Ella panicked: "Hurry! Hurry up and turn the direction of the fleet!"
However, before Ella's order was conveyed to every ship, the navy of the Republic of Liguria had quickly completed the U-turn. Encouraged by the sound of music, hundreds of sharp horns were heading towards the pirate kingdom unprepared.
The sides and rear suddenly come!
"Treat ships as fortresses and naval battles as fortifications. This is a typical land war mentality. Ships are not simple fortresses. To survive on the sea, they must turn into fish, water, and wind!"
Andrea stood on the boat and shook her head slowly.
"Go away, Pirate Kingdom, this sea belongs to the Seven Hills Empire, and there is no place for you."
Heavy muffled sounds were heard one after another on the battlefield. With the help of the ship's speed, the navy of the Republic of Liguria drove the ram into the stern or side of the enemy ship. The ships of the Pirate Kingdom that were hit by the ram were all without exception.
suffered fatal injuries.
The ships of the Pirate Kingdom are generally lighter. Although their structures are damaged, their strong buoyancy prevents them from sinking immediately. However, the navy of the Republic of Liguria did not give the Pirate Kingdom time to react. As soon as the ship hit the corner and sank into the enemy ship, the rowers immediately
He rowed the ship backwards, causing the enemy ship to tilt under the drag of the collision angle. Then, tragedy happened. Sea water poured into the hull ruthlessly from the opening, pressing the ship into the deep hole at a speed visible to the naked eye.
sea.
Inserting and pulling out, the sailors of the Republic of Liguria have trained this action thousands of times. They are professional navies. On the sea, the ships are their phalanx, and the collision angle is their
Spear.
The pirates on the attacked ship jumped into the water in panic and sought rescue from nearby friendly ships. This further increased the chaos of the Pirate Kingdom fleet. The sailors of the Ligurian Republic controlled the ship and repeated it over and over again.
The same action destroyed the ships of the Pirate Kingdom in a devastating manner.
During this round of offensive, at least a hundred ships from the Pirate Kingdom sank into the water.
"King of Sweden! Our army is going to be defeated!"
The pirates on the "Flying Zealander" looked back at Ella in panic. But when they found Ella still standing calmly on the deck, they immediately felt relieved as if they had taken reassurance.
"Why are you panicking?" Ella said, "Let all the archers aim at the place where the battle is taking place and shoot at the corners of the formation! The trebuchets will throw stone projectiles towards the place where the enemy ships are most concentrated!"
"Trebuchet? King of Sweden, our ship is now entangled with each other..."
"This is offshore, and the coast is right on the opposite side. Even if our own ship is hit, we can swim back! But if we don't let the other side retreat, the loss of the ship will be doubled again!"
The "Flying Zealander" reacted, and six counterweight trebuchets began to throw stone projectiles wildly at the most densely populated areas of enemy ships. Powerful stone projectiles fell from the sky, frightening the navy of the Republic of Liguria. One person
The stone bullet destroyed the mast of one enemy ship and then hit the side of another enemy ship. The wooden hull could not withstand the power of the counterweight trebuchet designed to conquer the huge city wall.
Under the huge impact, he was pushed sideways a step, and then fell into the water.
Realizing that the pirate kingdom had begun to counterattack, the navy of the Republic of Liguria began to spread out to both sides, preparing for the next wave of attacks.
"Now!" Ella seized the opportunity and shouted, "The whole army withdraws to the river!"
