Chapter 1159 surprise attack on Persian port

The Daqin fleet wiped out the Roman Western fleet in the Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf. Finally, some people fell into the water floated to the shore.

When the news came, the Romans in the Aquitaine region were in turmoil and could hardly believe that the Western fleet that had dominated the Mediterranean for hundreds of years was completely wiped out by the Qin fleet. This news was quickly reported to Rome.

The Qin Dynasty only has one province in the Alaxia area. As the garrison envoys spread to the mainland, the people of the Qin Dynasty were in full swing wherever they passed.

The Roman sailor who escaped death brought the latest news about the Great Qin fleet to Catulus, the commander of the Eastern Fleet.

A crossbow hidden in the cabin and a long-distance catapult.

Only then did the Romans realize the advanced and powerful Qin army warships.

This reminded Catulus of the naval battle between the Romans and the Greeks six hundred years ago. At that time, the Romans had only three layers of warships, while the Greeks had five layers of warships.

Stealing the master is the only way to win. Just like when the Romans were stealing the masters of the Greeks, however, the Romans did not have this time for the time being.

Catulus requested reinforcements from the army, so the army brought heavy stone throwers to Persian Port to defend.

At the same time, Catoulus told the Army General of the Rest Area, the empire elder Niku Paulus, who implemented a solid wall to clear the fields of the ports in the Persian Gulf, and evacuated the people and supplies to prevent the Qin fleet from damaging the Qin fleet. Niku Paulus, Macedonian, was afraid that the Qin fleet would send troops to land along the coast, and Catoulus got the exact news from the escaped sailors that there were no troop transport ships in the Qin fleet. The navy was not good at land warfare, so the Qin army dared to disembark on land offensive, which would undoubtedly kill them.

Catulus blamed all the crimes on the dead commander of the Western fleet, Agripa, who discussed with Niku Paulus, Macedonia, and temporarily held his troops. Be prepared and waited for the latest orders of the Triumph Emperor.

So, Niku Paulus of Macedonia continued to guard against the Qin army in the Alexia province, while Catulus defended the Persian port.

Outside Persian Port, the Daqin Fleet's offshore station, on the flagship.

Gan Ning and others praised Taishi Ci's victory, saying that if he went back, this third-class Zhenhai Marquis would have to become second-class at least.

Taishici was embarrassed and said with a smile: "The war is not over yet, and the Roman Eastern fleet is still in the Persian Port. If it cannot win or turn the defeat, it is estimated that the third-class Zhenhai Marquis will be gone."

This seems like a joke, but it is a summary of the current situation. The war is not over yet, and it is still too early to discuss the achievements.

So, the Qin generals quickly adjusted their minds, walked out of the great victory, and treated the subsequent battles rigorously.

In the combat room, Gan Ning pointed to the sand table and said, "The enemy has arranged a stone throwing machine, which is very huge. The range is far above the ship-borne stone throwing machine of our warrior. We must go ashore to eliminate the enemy's stone throwing machine. We can do our best to close the door and kill dogs, and eliminate the Roman Eastern fleet in the port."

Since the Qin Dynasty obtained the power to control the sea and could transport soldiers to land at will, small groups of troops could not be aware of it. The generals felt that this method was feasible.

Cai Mao expressed his concern. "We are a navy army. If we fight in the land, we may not be the enemy's opponent. Now our army has obtained the power to control the sea, or can send General Gao Shun of the Fulosha Military Region. Let him send the army to land."

At first, the generals believed that this opportunity to make meritorious contributions should not be given to the army. However, transporting the army to land was a very safe way. For the sake of the empire, everything was put on stability first. The generals of the navy gave up the attractive opportunity for independence and great contributions, and Gan Ning immediately sent someone to inform Gao Shun that the army needed support.

However, the game between the two empires of Qin, Rome, was in a delicate state. On the part of Rome, it shouted at Qin because the glory of the empire was trampled on for its thousand-year period and expressed dissatisfaction with the need to shout a few times for dignity. At the same time, Rome also expelled the merchants of Qin, and made a call and took action. Rome was not ready for a full-scale war, so it was not willing to stimulate Qin too much at present.

The Qin Dynasty was also not prepared for a full-scale war. However, Emperor Hongwu did not want to let Rome go easily, so he formulated a naval battle.

In this delicate state, although both sides gathered hundreds of thousands of troops in the Rest Area, neither side was willing to start a ground war lightly. Afterwards, after receiving the naval news, Rome also agreed to the decisive victory and defeat of the naval battle, so it gave Catulus and others the dictatorship at sea.

Therefore, when Gao Shun received the news from Gan Ning, he felt that this was contrary to Emperor Hongwu's strategic plan. If his army moved on a large scale, Rome would definitely believe that the Qin Dynasty would start a ground war. In order not to be passive, Rome would definitely do its best to launch a ground war.

In this way, the situation will become unstoppable.

Therefore, Gao Shun did not send a large force, but he sent a military-level special force "Desert Fox" to enter the Persian Gulf in the name of transporting the food and supplies needed by the navy.

In this way, this war continued subtly while both sides maintained considerable restraint.

"What? Just one thousand people came?" Gan Ning was so angry. "How could this Gao Shun send three or five thousand to one thousand, just one thousand, what is enough?"

Deputy Governor Cai Mao hurriedly said: "Grandmaster, the movement of the army will attract the attention of Rome. Don't underestimate these thousand people, General Gao Shun is the best at training troops. This is the "Desert Fox" led by General Zhou Cang ranks among the top special forces in various military regions, only under the "Blade of the Great Qin" of the Central Army."

So, Gan Ning met Zhou Cang and sent the other party to land. The two sides agreed to launch a night attack on Persian Port in the fourth day in five days. The desert fox was responsible for the land-based stone thrower in the port.

Five days later, the sun is at 3 o'clock, and within Persian Harbor.

Canglang, the Roman soldiers guarding the stone throwing machine drew their swords. The garrison officer was full of contempt and stared at the two resting men in front of him, "This is a military place. You untouchables, get out of the way, don't beg here anymore. If not, be careful not to have eyes on the sword or gun."

The Romans were almost no different from those of slaves who surrendered to foreign free people. This may be the reason why the Roman Empire, which ruled Europe for thousands of years, did not even leave a country. Therefore, the unity of all nations is the most important. The ability of a huge country to consolidate.

The two blonde and blue eyes were hunched in their cloak. The hunched and tired "rest" people apologized repeatedly, supported each other and quickly left. However, after the turn, they quickly stood up and disappeared into the crowd.

In a secret area outside Persian Port, Zhou Cang welcomed his scouts back.

"Fox of the Desert". The second-ranked special forces in the Qin Dynasty, half of which were members were natives in the Kushan region. The former Kushan nobles ruled the people brutally, which made the people not have much feelings for the Kushan dynasty. The Qin conquered the Kushan people, and in the eyes of the local people, was like a dynasty change in the Central Plains. Of course, this was even more because of the ethnic policies implemented by Emperor Hongwu.

The people in the Kushan area lived a good life they had never lived, so they recognized their identity as the people of the Great Qin Dynasty. They wanted to protect their motherland and protect their hard-earned beautiful homes. The Great Qin Dynasty implemented a completely different ethnic policy from Rome, and its results were significant.

As all the scouts returned, Zhou Cang was able to piece together all the military layout maps. He couldn't help but laugh at Rome. Rome searched for all the yellow-skinned and dark-haired Orientals in the territory, but didn't he know that there are many ethnic groups in our east.

At that time, the "Desert Fox" started to act. Under the cover of the night, he quietly entered the Persian Port.

Outside Persian Port, Gan Ning looked away from his flagship Luoyang, waiting for the moment when the flames rose.

Waiting patiently and anxiously, the moon went west, and the night was at 4 o'clock. The quiet Persian Port was like a sleeping lamb, with only a little ignition on the warships in the port. Suddenly, a ball of flame exploded in the northwest corner of the port. As if it could be contagious, balls of flame exploded one after another. In a short time, a circular fire wall was formed, illuminating the Persian Port like daytime.

"Throw, throw!"

The special forces members of the "Desert Fox" did not fight with the enemy at all. Each of them carried a large package and kept taking out cowhide sulphur bombs from it. These sulphur bombs were almost the same as gasoline bombs in later generations.

The stone throwers immediately burned in the blazing fire. These stone throwers, which were more than ten meters tall, seemed to have become pillars of fire soaring into the sky.

"Ah~~, help, ah!" A scream rang out, and the guards all turned into firemen and ran wildly.

A new special forces member couldn't help but raise his crossbow and aimed at the burning and screaming Roman soldiers, but was suppressed by the veterans beside him. The veteran glared at the new recruits fiercely, and the new recruits had some understanding. Then, the screaming fireman fell to the ground, burned to death, and turned into ashes.

The flames were the Charge, and the Daqin fleet blew the horn, broke through the waves, and rushed into the Persian port.

In the harbor, on the Goddess of Harvest, Catulus, the commander of the Roman Eastern Fleet, walked out of the cabin with sleepy eyes. When he saw the fire in the harbor, he woke up in a panic. He stared at the scarlet eyes that could not believe and exclaimed: "How could this happen..."

"Get out the anchor and set sail, pull out the anchor and set sail, and strike out of the port!" Catulus made the right choice in an instant, but it was too late.

"His Excellency Commander, look!"

Catulus suddenly turned around and saw the sky suddenly brightening in the direction outside the port. His pupils shrank violently, and fear crawled over his face, "The sulphur bomb..."

The berthed warships are fixed targets. Just a wave of sulphur bombs were thrown, and the Roman warships caught fire in large numbers. The Roman stone throwers had been completely lost and could not counterattack. This allowed the Qin fleet to approach and throw unscrupulously.

When the Qin fleet rushed into the Roman fleet formation, hundreds of crossbows opened on both sides, and a fire broke out roared out. The Goddess of Plum Blessing became the key target of attack. In an instant, its huge body was filled with "torks", and the next moment, it started to burn.

This Rome's largest warship was burned without having enough time to move. With its burning, it also heralds the demise of the Roman Eastern fleet.

"No! No!" Catulus was on the burning boat, looking at the already surging port, and his hands were holding his curly hair hard, with little golden powder scattered, flashing golden stars in the flames.

Screaming, only Roman-speaking screams.

"Your Excellency Commander, run away!"

Half an hour later, the familiar cheers of Oriental people came from the Persian Harbor.

In 216 AD, at the end of September of the 11th year of Hongwu, the Qin Expeditionary Fleet attacked Persian Port and wiped out the Roman Eastern Fleet. With the great victory of the Qin Fleet, Rome lost its huge fleet and its control over the sea.

The flames lit up Persian Port.

And in the east, the sun still shines on the earth.

Japan, Jingdong Bay.

"Baga!Baga!" The soldiers of the Dog Slave Kingdom had a satisfied smile on their faces, beating a group of slaves. Because these slaves were not simple, they were "nobles" from the Great Qin Dynasty. The soldiers of the Dog Slave Kingdom thought so. The people of the Great Qin Dynasty were rich, and they were all like the nobles of their own country. Being able to beat these people was really a "blessing" cultivated in their previous lives.
