Chapter 12 The Battle of Salamis (Part 2)
Since the meeting between the two major naval forces, Helena has been in a state of uneasiness.
Helena's combat power is not the best among these ten people, but she has the keen sixth sense of being a woman.
Although some people raised objections and insisted that in the original plot, Dimistockley boarded the enemy's flagship and there was a fight, Helena still insisted so much.
The plot is the plot, and the mission world will never rigidly cover the development of the plot. Moreover, the main god has issued a task to protect Di Mistokli, so it will never be adulterated.
"Something must have happened that made the task of protecting Dimistockley cancelled." Helena finally found a reason to explain her uneasy.
But looking horizontally and vertically, this reason is too far-fetched. Even Tiefeng doesn't agree with Helena's caution.
Now, the first sea encounter has achieved unprecedented results, but Helena's uneasiness has become stronger, as if she can't dissolve the knot, which makes her breathing difficult and she is in a bad mood.
Helena's recession is not aimless.
Since entering the Spartan world, their experience has been so smooth.
The wind is so smooth that people can't believe they are in the difficulty of killing the city.
Even in the initial space, Helena has not been so smooth. She has spent the previous missions without any storm. So far, no one has lost the ten-person formation.
Such a good result should naturally be celebrated, but the problem is that more than half of the mission time has passed, it is really unreasonable.
When Helena came up with this idea, someone gave an explanation: perhaps because they had just transitioned from the initial space to the killing city, and the first mission was all for welfare.
This explanation sounds a bit reasonable at first glance, but after careful consideration, I feel it is even more far-fetched.
The Lord God is not a philanthropist, so it is impossible to give you the so-called "transition period" to enjoy a blessing.
But humans always like to think about problems in their favor, but rarely make the worst plans.
Faced with the huge Persian Ark, the reincarnators raised their hearts to their throats for the first time.
It is precisely because they understand the plot and know what those arks are used for.
That's definitely not what they like!
As the ark gradually entered the front of the Greek Navy's front line, the two warships ordered attacked from the left and right wings according to the tactics 2 hours ago, and with the power of the waves and 40 oarsmen under the deck, carrying a thousand pounds of force, crashed into the flank of the ark.
With a loud bang, the deck shattered and flew around, the screams of sailors on the side of the ship merged into one with the sound of waves.
However, the source of the sound did not come from the oarsmen and sailors in the ark, but from two Greek three-paddle warships with horns.
The power of a thousand pounds could not shake the ark at all.
The material of the ark is extraordinary.
"It's iron birch!" a reincarnator exclaimed loudly.
The others looked at him in confusion, and the man's face turned red, feeling ashamed of his loss of composure just now.
"What is iron birch?" someone asked, but he found a chance to save face for the reincarnation person.
He corrected his throat and explained: "Iron birch comes from iron birch, which grows in mountains at an altitude of about 700 meters. The hardness of iron birch is twice as hard as ordinary steel. It can be said to be the hardest wood in the world. When metal was not yet common, it was used as a substitute for metals. Now, iron birch is a rare and endangered wild plant and is on the verge of extinction. Iron birch, also known as the Wood King, is the best material for boating. It is already the owner's greatest luxury to have a keel boat made of iron birch."
The ark was made of iron birch wood, and it was simply an ancient aircraft carrier worth tens of thousands of yuan.
As soon as the ship was released, Dimistokli's two-wing combat plan failed.
Dimistokely soon received the information given by the Reincarnation One. He thought for a while and said, "Since you can't break it, then use the most basic method of naval battle!"
He made a gesture to the messenger beside him.
The messenger immediately understood and turned around and ran towards the drummer. While running, he shouted: "The general has an order to change his tactics and use the battle to fight against the enemy!"
Barrel combat is the basic tactic of maritime combat, simple but very effective.
Facing the unbreakable iron birch ark, there is only one way to fight on the shore.
Fortunately, the iron birch wood is very rare, mostly distributed in China and Japan, and a few are distributed in Russia. Even the huge Persian Empire cannot be mass-produced. If it spends its national strength, it will only build three iron birch arks.
This also provides a limited number of Greek navys with the opportunity to win the battle on the shore.
"General, the ark is tall and large, and our soldiers can only attack upwards. In addition, its deck is like walking on flat ground, and the Persians can set up formations with war horses, which is very unfavorable to us." The adjutant reminded Dimistokli.
"I don't care about that much. Look, the main Persian force is still a long way from these three arks. As long as we rush onto those three arks first, we don't have to worry about the reinforcements behind us being continuously filled. If we slow down a little and wait for the reinforcements behind us to rush up, our soldiers will face a continuous stream of Persian soldiers. Then we will shed all our blood on these three arks at that time."
Dimistockley said worriedly.
His concerns were simply the Greeks' death ribs.
If the main force of the Persian Navy really bit the backside of the ark, then Dimistokli would have withdrawn directly, and there would be no need for a battle.
Perhaps, this was deliberately arranged by Artemisia!
Dimistokli thought secretly that he did not think that Artemisia, who was called the war god by the Persians, would make such obvious tactical mistakes. There was only one possibility to explain: she deliberately gave the other party hope of winning in exchange for a chance to wipe out the Greek navy.
It has to be said that this open plot is really high. Even if Dimistokeli understands the truth, he has to adopt the tactic of placing a battle.
There is no way, this is already their last stronghold. Once the Gulf of Salamis is lost, no matter how many naval forces there are in Greece, it can only become scattered soldiers or pirates after the motherland is destroyed.
Even if the chance is slim, there will be a battle.
This was the last battle of Dimistockle and the last battle that determined the fate of the Greek city-state.
Compared with the determination of the Greek naval commander, the reincarnators who participated in the naval battle as mercenaries were not as calm as Dimistocle.
Everyone's heart was hanging high, almost in his throat.
Because they knew that those three arks were not simple iron birch ships!
The tricks contained in it are also a symbol of Persian hegemony!
