"I understand!" Mukru responded.

When Ionicus heard this, he was puzzled: How did the warship attack the troops on the land?

After a while, he saw more than a dozen three-layer oar warships sailing side by side, heading straight towards the coast with Spartan troops. On the sea less than a mile away from the Spartan troops, the warships stopped. Because they had already hit the bottom, the crew on the deck immediately threw the anchor into the sea to fix the ship. Then a piece of equipment was lifted from the cabin to the deck - a crossbow.

Some of the gunners were responsible for fixing the seats of the crossbows, some were responsible for mapping the target parameters, some were responsible for installing spring groups, and some were responsible for carrying stone bombs... Not only this crossbows team performed their own duties and cooperated with tacit understanding, but the same was true on other warships.

At the end of the Western Mediterranean War, when the Dionian army besieged Carthage, naval warships entered the lagoon and placed crossbows on the deck to assist the army in siege to achieve considerable results. At this point, the use of crossbows on ships became a project of naval military training.

When Dorius saw the Deonian warship rushing straight towards the beach, he thought they were about to land soon, he immediately commanded the army and was unfolding loosely in the direction of the dozen warships sailing. At the front was Hei Luoshi, holding javelins, ready to attack the Deonian soldiers first when they wade on the water.

However, these warships stopped moving when they approached the beach, and for a while, there was no movement. Dorius was feeling strange when he suddenly saw small black dots flying out of the warships...

When he saw clearly that these small black dots were large round stones, they had already fallen from mid-air, some fell into the sea water in front, raising up the water columns of soaring into the sky, and some fell on the beach behind, with sand and soil splashing everywhere. Although no one was killed or injured, the momentum of the Hits caused a commotion in the team, especially the Black Rous.

Bird! A word popped up in Dorius's mind. Although he had never seen the use of such a weapon in the wars in Greece so far, the Spartans who had always paid attention to the Western Mediterranean were not ignorant of this. Agsilaus once made a suggestion in the Elders' Council of Councils, hoping to create such a powerful weapon with great siege. The Council of Councils of Councils of Elders also agreed to his proposal, but a city-state with no other profession except warriors, who is keen on military training but abandons science, literature and entertainment, has no technical ability to create it.

The Spartans also wanted to secretly ask the Syracuses for guidance, but unfortunately, after the Battle of Southern Italy, Dionia captured the entire team of engineers of Syracuse and took them completely for themselves, which caused Syracuse himself to lose this technology, and the matter was left to nothing in the end.

Dorius never expected that he would witness the rumored crossbow on such a special occasion, and for a moment he didn't know how to deal with it.

At this moment, another round of stone bombs was ejected, and only one of the dozen stone bombs hit the target on the shore. After all, the warship fluctuated with the waves, and the crossbows were not easy to aim. However, the effect of this stone bomb hit was very obvious. It smashed a black Luoshi's head, and it was terrifying in death. It was immediately scared that the surrounding black Luoshi turned around and ran away.

Dorius hurriedly ordered the Spartans to slaughter the black Rous who escaped first, which scared the other slaves and barely maintained the array.

Not long after, the sound of military trumpets sounded on the sea surface, and hundreds of troop transport ships that were originally parked behind the warship began to move forward against the retreating tide, and the landing of the Dionian army began.

The troop transport ship that Max was riding was moving towards the enemy's formation on the shore. He had landed on the coast of Afilica and on the coast of Gaul, and was not unfamiliar with landings, but this was the first time he was facing enemy blockade when he landed. Therefore, he did not follow the previous two practices and asked the soldiers to assist the sailors in rowing so that the ship could reach the coast faster, but instead asked them to wear armor, get weapons, sit quietly on the boat as soon as possible, and preserve their physical strength.

The troop transport ship was jogging in the tide and was not fast. This was actually a good fighter jet for the Spartan army on the shore. Unfortunately, the Dionian army came suddenly. Sparta itself did not produce archers, and there was no time to call on the allies, so it was impossible to shoot archers at the troop transport ship.

The troop transport ship finally ran aground near the beach, only 100 meters away from the Spartan army on the shore. Just as Max urged the soldiers to get off the ship quickly, the Spartan soldiers on the shore also ordered the Black Rous, who had a javelin, to attack the enemy who had not yet landed.

The Black Roxers wade forward tremblingly, focusing more on the stone bombs whizzing through the sky.

Max led the soldiers to jump into the waist-deep sea, and went up the shore without rushing. While calling the soldiers to gather, he observed the positions of other teams on the warships on both sides.

"Go forward!" Under his command, 50 soldiers wade through the water in a small slump that was slack and unscathed. Then he saw the Black Rox Javeliner running from the shore: "Rise the shield!"

As soon as he shouted, the soldiers had raised their long shields diagonally and blocked them in front.

Facing the approaching soldiers of the Dionys, the Javelins that were throwing were neither accurate nor powerful, and did not pose any danger to the Dionys soldiers at all.

On the contrary, after wading for a distance, the soldiers of the Dionian Legion also threw out the javelins in their hands, which immediately caused many Black Rox to be shot and fell into the water, scaring the other Black Rox to retreat in a hurry.

After the direct threat ahead was eliminated, the soldiers led by Max slowed down, and they moved closer to each other and gradually connected together.

Dorios on the shore originally thought that after jumping into the sea, the soldiers of the Dionian ship would speed up to shore, and their power would be dispersed, which would help him concentrate his troops and defeat them one by one. However, he did not expect that the Dionian soldiers were so steady and sophisticated that they gradually formed an array while slowly wading forward, and the array was still thickening and extending...

Dorius turned his head and looked at both sides. There were countless Dionian soldiers on the beach in the distance and began to walk around them...

Dorius felt nervous, but he hesitated for a moment and then made a resolute decision: "Quick, retreat! Retreat!!"

Although some Spartan warriors were unwilling to accept their discipline, they were known for their observance of discipline. When they ordered them, all the soldiers quickly began to retreat, and the Black Roxers even scattered.

Max and the soldiers were originally looking forward to a fierce battle with the Spartan army on the beach, but they didn't expect that the enemy ahead would run away before they even got involved! Is this really a Spartan warrior who dominates Greece?!

In order to prevent fraud, although the soldiers accelerated their pace of progress, they still maintained the integrity of the formation. However, under the command of the team officer, they began to shout in unison: "Mesenians, you are free!!!..."

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Leoticides stepped onto the land of Mesenia with an indifferent expression, but his mood was a little complicated: he was not unfamiliar with this land. When he was young, he had received military training here, and he also killed Heirosh with his friends at the coming-of-age ceremony like killing wild animals. He also stationed in Pyros for a period of time...

He originally thought that these memories had been forgotten, but the moment he stepped onto the beach, these memories kept popping up.

Leoticides, with dozens of guards, walked slowly forward step by step, step by step, step by step, and walked slowly forward. Tisias and Ionicus, who were originally following, had already run away. They were anxious to comfort and surrender the black Roxers.

An officer with a helmet and crowned purple hat came to him and rushed to Leoticides and saluted him.

"Adoris, what is the result of the battle?" Even when facing King Davers' adopted son, Leoticidus's expression was as calm as he treated other officers.

Adoris replied with some frustration: "Everyone says that the Spartans are the most brave warriors in Greece. I think that is a lie! They are as timid as rabbits, they ran away before they even fought, and they ran very fast. Before we could form an encirclement, they rushed into the mountains to the east... It would be great if the cavalry could attack!"

"Ledes told me that their horses had been bumping on the boat for several days, and they were in a bad state. They had to rest for a few days before they could get on the battlefield, otherwise there would be problems." Leoticides said lightly: "It seems that you have nothing to do this time?"

"When we chased the Spartan barracks, a Spartan officer was guarding the door with a few soldiers-" Azuris said this, with a solemn expression on his face: "They asked to fight alone with our soldiers, and they injured several of us because of this. Finally, we killed the Spartan soldiers and captured the officer."

Leoticides didn't care much about such trivial matters, but asked, "What are the conditions of that Spartan military camp?"

Adoris immediately understood what he meant and replied: "It's very complete, without any damage, but it's not too large and can barely accommodate a legion."

Leoticidus looked at the sky and looked around again: there were naked Black Rous following the soldiers of the Dionia everywhere...

He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and echoed: "Mukru, go and inform Seclian immediately, and say that the landing battle is over. Let him lead all warships to dock on the beach and build camps. I will send soldiers from the Fourth and Sixth Legion to assist with it."
