Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 8 Chapter 35: Lou Chuan

Remember in one second【】

"This... is this a pirate?" Giovanni looked at this scene on the sea in surprise, unable to believe his eyes!

In the sea close to the island of Lemnos, there will be pirates? It should be noted that four years ago, after the fall of Constantinople, Venice took the opportunity to control several important strongholds on the Aegean Sea. No pirates dared to cruise on this sea.

Before he could think more, the Venetian nobles ordered the sailors under the cabin to turn around and retreat. On the other hand, he and the guards around him also took up weapons in their hands to prepare for battle. The menacing pirate ships were clearly targeting them.

"Woo-" The melodious horn sounded from the pirate ship at this time, and then a war drum was beating in the distance, as if a pack of wolves smelled the smell of blood, several sterns leaped out of the mist to intercept the retreating Venice. people.

Seeing this, Giovanni understood that a fierce battle was about to start. "Ready to fight!" In Giovanni's loud shout, the Venetian warship was already parallel to the pirates who were chasing him. On the deck, the sailors pulled up. With the weapons in their hands, they are ready to fight.

"Kill—" In the mist, the pirates hooked the mast with a scratching hook, and the pirates who jumped up were all ferocious. They were Saracens cruising between the islands. They were walking here long before the Venetians came. In the sea, even the Roman Empire’s navy could not help it in the past hundred years, but this time these pirates focused on this single group of Venetians.

"In the name of God, Gazis, attack! Let these Venetians taste our power!" Just listen to the Saracen pirates roaring arrogantly on the opposite ship's bow, and the pirates are increasingly fighting against the Venetians. The ship launched an attack. Although Giovanni’s Clippers were a bit larger than these sterns, the siege of several pirate ships still instantly put the Venetians down.

"Damn it!" Seeing everything in front of him, Giovanni groaned, he never expected that he would encounter Saracens in this place. However, this is not without reason. Since Constantinople was occupied by the Crusaders, the Roman navy has almost disappeared in the entire Aegean Sea. The already suppressed pagan pirates have become more rampant at this time. Of course, the Venetians on the road can't stand idly by, of course, they will choose to strike, and they will form a bridge with these Saracen pirates.

At this point, Giovanni felt desperate. Seeing more and more pirates that were several times his own, the Venetian couldn't help regretting why he chose to follow him.

This must be a **** Genoese conspiracy!

Thinking of this, Giovanni was even more convinced that the other party must take the opportunity to kill people when traveling through this sea route.

"Arrows!" ordered the crossbowmen to shoot in volley. The suppressive tactics did not work. The Saracen pirates had been prepared. They hid behind the cowhide shield and followed suit. Giovanni watched more pirates jump. On the deck of his warship, the sailors around him were also at a disadvantage, and soon the situation on the deck was completely out of control. Squeezed together, the only remaining sailors could only resist back to back against the Saracen pirates who surrounded them.

"What to do, Lord Giovanni, we are surrounded!" The panicked sailors looked at the enemies in all directions, completely confused.

But Giovanni Navigachoso interrupted the riot of his sailors with a roar, "Don't mess up! Give me stability! Do you want to be caught by the Saracens and sold to Egypt as castrates?" This is the end of the matter. Only when we fight to the death can we have a ray of life!" After all, the Venetian nobles took the lead, drew their swords and slashed at the Saracen pirates who were rushing towards him. The sword was accurate and ruthless, and the unsuspecting pirate separated directly from the head, and the head dropped by the wheel was kicked off the bow by Giovanni.

This scene fell into the eyes of the sailors, and the Venetian, who was still bewildered before, immediately became motivated. Unlike other countries, most of the Venetian sailors are volunteer soldiers. As free men, they are weaker in fighting than other soldiers, but they also cherish their identity as free men. Compared to being killed in the sea by pirates, they are more reluctant to become slaves, especially the castrates Giovanni said.

Encouraged by Giovanni's loud voice, the remaining sailors on the deck chose to resist desperately. They held short spears in their hands and formed a hedgehog formation side by side with each other, making the pirates with only cutlass and short swords in their hands unexpectedly for a while. Also helpless.

At this moment, the pirate ship suddenly heard an angry voice, "Damn it, set me on fire and burn these Venetians!" Seeing that they couldn't attack for a long time, the Saracens obviously lost their patience. The interest is not great, just take revenge on the Venetian. If they can't be sold as slaves, let them be buried in the sea!

As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of the sailors who heard about it changed drastically! If this is the case, they who are still a long way from the coast will definitely die. The Venetian who was in desperate situation suddenly became completely defiant, and Giovanni himself was also helpless in the face of such a situation.

Do you really want to die here? !

At this critical juncture! On one side of the strait, a ship appeared out of the fog, and was approaching here!

From a distance, the ship on the opposite side did not fly a flag, nor did it know which country it belonged to, but at least it was not a black flag for pirates. A glimmer of hope rose in his heart, and Giovanni immediately ordered his subordinates to sound the clarion call for help.

"Woo-woo--!" The hoarse horns with all their strength contained the Venetian's desire to survive from above and below, across the sea, resounding between the sea and the sky.

And when the slowly approaching ship was

^0^Remember in one second【】

After receiving the Venetian's call for help, immediately, the broad sail unfolded, and long oars protruding from both sides of the ship's gunwale quickly approached here.

Seeing this happen, the pirates who were still besieging the Venetian were stunned. Unless there are hordes of caravans in this sea, any ships that are alone will only run away watching the wind when they encounter them. How can anyone dare to come over? !

The pirate leader looked at the ship approaching here with anger and grinned. He still had half of the people on the ship who hadn't done anything. At this time, there was a business to deliver by himself.

The Saracens laughed wildly: "Haha~www.readwn.com~ Gazis, there are more than this group of stupid Christians! Ahmed, look at them first, this group of Venetians, the business over there Leave it to me to take care of it, and let them enjoy what it's like to be shattered." The task of encircling the Venetian was handed over to his deputy, and the pirate chief ordered his remaining subordinates to transfer the stern to meet the ship that came to support the Venetian. .

The pirates, who just listened to the screaming and fighting, rowed their warships towards the bread, and they have not missed once in the face of the goal of loneliness on this sea. The confident Saracen leader led his subordinates and soon approached the opposite ship, but when the two sides finally approached on the wide sea, the shadows falling from the huge building were shocked to the Saracens pirates. Come on!

Nearly large and far small, when the originally arrogant Saracens really came to the ship, even the Venetian Clippers that had been besieged by them just now looked like a dwarf.

The huge ship is like a behemoth on the sea rushing towards the pirate ship. The so-called encirclement of the Saracens at this moment seems to be a joke in front of it, and the pirate chief’s frantic smile condensed on his face at this moment. .
