Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 5 Chapter 67: Decisive battle (4)

"Full speed! Break through the Venetian defense line!" Baron Pierre commanded the entire navy and did not continue to fight the Venetians. Although they had gained the upper hand in the previous battles, they relied more on Justinian. The preemptive deterrence brought by the use of gunpowder made the Venetians jealous. At this time, it is not wise to continue the attack. Although it seems that the number of warships on both sides is almost the same, don't forget that half of the warships of the Pisa are used as transport ships. Once they are sunk, the cost will be high.

And Justinian didn't object to this, it was indeed the wisest decision to look at at the moment, and it would not be beneficial to them to continue the fierce battle.

But even if this scene was spotted by the Venetians, they would sit and watch wherever they were, and then spread out like a pack of wolves on the sea, trying to entangle every warship trying to escape from the battle.

"It seems that the Venetians are not as foolish as they thought!" Nevsky said coldly, taking the rudder of the ship, obviously their intention to break through the other side's sea blockade and land forcibly has been seen through by the other side. So now it is not so easy to deal with the Venetians who are already prepared.

"What should I do?" Looking at this scene, Justinian, with a heavy expression, had to ask the man beside him. Above the ocean, his "little fox" was completely helpless, and the only thing he could rely on was this. Varangians who have experienced countless storms.

While quietly watching the fierce battle that took place in front of him, Nevsky seemed extremely calm, as if he hadn't been infected by the atmosphere of the fight at all, calm and calm.

"If you want to break through here, there is only one way—"

"what?"

"Let the Venetian crowd be headless!"

...

...

...

"Block them, absolutely do not allow any dirty Greek to set foot on the coast! Kill—" As the deputy of Baron Thayne Venier, Casa Venier is now commanding the former army to form the sea on his flagship. Bronze and iron walls to prevent the landing of reinforcements from the Greeks. As long as they can entangle the enemy here, and wait for the Latin Allied forces on the land to slow down, they will definitely be able to get back to the current situation by virtue of their numerical advantages. Although calculated by the previous sneak attacks, this man obviously did not act impulsively because of this. On the contrary, instead, he took the most effective countermeasures in the first place. Sure enough, as he expected. The Greeks who were entangled and unable to participate in the war really became impatient, and the attack of the Greek army that launched an active assault on the Acropolis Hill before the shore finally showed a trace of weakness.

Now the initiative of the war has changed again for a while, and the balance of victory is shifting towards them.

On the other hand, the Pizzas at sea are also in a dilemma. To prevent being entangled in accidents and thus revealing their identities, these Pizzas are unwilling to join the battle, which leads to simple collisions and long-range attacks. Tearing the Venetian's defenses.

But just as Casavenier was proud of it, suddenly the soldiers beside him noticed something wrong and exclaimed in the past. Following the reputation, they saw a double decked ship in the Greek fleet. The paddle boats had taken the initiative to break away from the large forces and attacked them on their own initiative. The scene before them immediately caused the Venetians to be alert and shocked, because the person on the other side had completely abandoned all defenses and advanced at full speed and locked the target completely for them. Casa reacted immediately. This was a targeted decapitation operation by the opponent on the opposite side. It seemed that the Greeks were indeed eager to break through their defenses, so they did not hesitate to use this risky means to try to destroy the center of their command.

It may seem risky, but it is not completely reckless, because Casa ordered the fleet to disperse and entangle the Greeks, which opened the entire navy's formation and created the possibility of the flagship's situation in danger.

But where would Casavenier make the opponent wish, he immediately ordered the flag-bearer beside him to wave the flag, and saw that the two warships on both sides quickly reacted and gave up the originally entangled enemy ship and turned from left to right. The two wings outflank the Greek warship sailing here unresolved.

The person sitting on this ship was not someone else but Justinian, and I saw that Neusky was at the helm with an unstoppable momentum, and their goal was naturally to expose the Venetian flagship that seemed close at hand. As long as the flagship is taken down, the Venetian, who is trapped in a situation where there is no leader, can't organize a rigorous blockade even if it is strong.

But this is also an extremely crazy choice, because with a little carelessness, the people on the ship are likely to fail and have no place to die. It's hard to imagine that this battle plan was not just the adventurous Justinian ~www.ltnovel.com~ but the Neusky who has always opposed Justinian's mischief.

This man standing on the waves has never been as calm and calm as he is now, and at this moment the warship under his feet seems to be integrated with him, letting him control the waves to cut through the countless enemies that hinder him. Precisely because of this, when faced with the two Venetian warships outflanking and encircling, Nevsky was calm and composed, as if nothing was left.

"Sink them down!" The Venetian who was getting closer only heard the frantic roar, wanting to directly knock over the sailing boat in front of him.

But Nevsky was already prepared, and suddenly turned around and shouted: "Justinian, it's you!"

And the next moment, under Justinian’s own control, the light ballista on board also aimed at the Venetian warship that approached actively, but instead of shooting stone bullets or burning asphalt, it shot a round and sealed one. The wooden barrel drew a beautiful arc in mid-air and fell on the unsuspecting Venetian deck. In the next second, there was only a loud noise. The powder barrel that had been ignited by the fuze exploded as soon as it fell, and the blazing flames and heat waves swallowed everything in an instant.

The screams were mixed with the sound of burning and breaking. In the blink of an eye, the Venetian deck seemed to be lifted up to the sky, a mess, leaving only terrifying destruction.

"What?!" After seeing this scene, Casavenier took a breath of air-conditioning. In an instant, the Greeks used the weird trick before. Although the power seemed to be much smaller, they directly let the two ships. The warship directly lost the ability to continue fighting. At this moment, he, who had been confident that he had the chance to win, had to look dignified, but the Greek warship that passed through the explosion was already close at hand.
