Chapter 1230: Sea Route
Under Gan Ning's arrangement, the surrounded pirates did not catch a wave, but just sank into the bottom of the sea with their skeleton pirate ship.
"Maca, which route is the fastest to the inland sea of Rome?" Wu Shun asked the new guide.
"How many months do we need to continue along the coastline when we go back to the General and go to the Inner Sea of Rome?" Maca said truthfully.
He has also been to Rome and is very familiar with this route.
"Is there no shortcut? I hope to get there soon." Wu Shundao.
If he remembers correctly, there is a canal that can be passed through to the "earth sea" of Rome.
When crossing the Red Sea and the Earthly Sea, there is a canal called Suez. But Wu Shun is not sure whether this canal can enter the Earthly Sea now.
"The general didn't know that there was a waterway that could enter, but there were heavy troops from the Roman navy there, and there were many defensive ordnances on both sides of the waterway, which was not suitable to pass there from there." Maca said.
From the luxurious configurations of these warships, Maka can confirm that the original fleet was by no means a friendly visit.
"Roman Navy, we want to try their skills." Wu Shun smiled.
His worries were redundant, and this canal could still be used. Since the Romans were guarding it, as long as they went straight from the canal, they could go directly to the inland sea of Rome.
As for the Roman Navy, Wu Shun didn't know how powerful he was, so he wanted to try it.
"If it is forcibly passed, Rome may declare war, so the general should be cautious."
Maca advised.
He saw that Wu Shun seemed to be very interested in the Roman Navy and was worried that the general would easily go to war with Rome.
He escaped from the pirates, hoping to go home. If this original fleet fought with Rome, only God knows whether he still has his life to go back.
"Maca, just take us there, and someone will protect your safety." Wu Shun saw through Maca's worries and gave him a reassurance.
"Oh well."
Wu Shun said that, Maka didn't dare to say anything else, so she went to look at the charts.
In half an hour, all the destroyed pirate ships sank, and the pirates struggling on the sea were also ordered to be shot and killed by Gan Ning.
The pirates themselves are a group of desperate people who are extremely guilty. Gan Ning has no guilt at all and even has a sense of superiority to eliminate harm for the people. Although they don’t know where to eliminate harm, they have done good things in the end.
After doing all this, the original naval fleet sailed into today's "Red Sea" under the guidance of Maka!
The Red Sea Strait is still under the control of the Roman Empire, and all merchant ships passing through here will be subject to heavy taxes.
Therefore, many merchant ships would rather go around the Cape of Good Hope in order to evade heavy taxes.
Being able to force merchants to this level shows that the Romans' greed has risen to a certain level!
It’s also because the businessmen can’t afford to offend them, otherwise something would have happened long ago.
The Red Sea Strait, this is the paradise of the Roman Navy. The empire gave them enough power that their naval commanders could listen to the command and not follow Diocletian's orders.
The original fleet rashly entered the Red Sea, and someone soon informed the Roman Empire naval commander Apdul.
Facing the original fleet that came from afar, Apdul was not polite at all. In order to show his strength, he directly sent one-third of the warships out of the port, preparing to give the original man a warning.
Apdul heard of important power, but hearing it was false, and he did not believe that the original man was that powerful.
In his mind, in this world, only Rome is the strongest country, and only Romans are the highest-ranking people.
The Roman naval fleet was dispatched, and when they encountered their merchant ships, they all avoided from both sides, and did not dare to stop them at all.
Because when the Roman Navy is dispatched, the consequences will be very serious. At the least, they will be arrested and punished, and at the worst, the ship will be destroyed and the people will be killed...
...
...
"The Emperor, the Roman fleet is here."
Gan Ning put down his telescope and reported to Wu Shun.
"Xingba, are you ready to say hello to the Romans?" Wu Shun asked with a smile.
Their warships arrived here, and the original strategy of conquering the world was officially launched, and there was no need to pretend.
"Taihuang, don't worry, keep it safe and let the Romans know that we were a country of etiquette. They had to greet us politely." Gan Ning smiled domineeringly.
"Very good, then I'll wait and see." Wu Shundao.
Wu Shun knew the combat power of his naval fleet, and Gan Ning's ability was also top-notch. Wu Shun was not worried at all when dealing with the Roman Navy.
"The whole army obeys the orders, set up a formation and fight with the Romans!" Gan Ning's voice came out, and the messenger quickly waved the order flag.
With the order, the fleet immediately slowed down, and the four warships in front directly hit the horizontal line, and sixteen Puyuan naval guns aimed at the Roman naval warships in the distance.
In this era, Roman warships were still made of wooden structures, and the original three kingdoms of the building ships were similar, but they were in different shapes.
"Hiss Commander, the original huge warship is crossing the sea and has stopped. What do we need to do?"
The commander of the warship ahead asked Apdul in the flag language.
"Tell the warships ahead, rush over and knock the four bloated broken ships over!"
Apdul ordered.
This was the first time Apdul met in a naval battle.
The navy's warships usually have the hardest part of the bow, which can undertake the task of ramming enemy ships. The weak test points on both sides of the warship will usually not be exposed.
From the original four huge warships, Apdul believed that the commander of the opposite fleet must be with the fledgling yellow-haired boy.
The Roman warships were ordered to crash and were all accelerating.
The faster you drive, the greater the impact you generate.
During this period, the Roman Navy's combat method was mainly based on bows, arrows, garages, strings. Long-range naval gun attacks like original warships were incredible in the eyes of the Romans.
"General, the Roman warship has entered the range, why don't you order a naval gun attack?" Su Fei asked in surprise beside Gan Ning.
According to usual experience, when Gan Ning saw an enemy ship, he would definitely rush over and attack with a fierce gun.
"Su Fei, don't worry, let the Romans get closer. It won't be that easy for them to run away later." Gan Ning said with a silly smile.
"It turns out that the general was making this idea, but judging from the appearance of the Roman warship, it seemed to be about to hit us. Should we let the escort warships in the rear rush out from both sides?" Su Fei asked.
"You must, as soon as you start fighting, the frigate will rush out and attack together." Gan Ning said.
