Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Cen Changqian is resourceful, but she is still a scholar in essence. She has the common pettiness of scholars. Coupled with her youth and vigour, she regards today's experience as a great shame and humiliation in life.  So from the moment the cannon was fired, he had been standing on the top floor of the warship, looking out through the parapet.

    When he saw that the Gothic warships were badly beaten by artillery and countless Gothic soldiers were forced to jump into the sea, the suffocation in his heart finally eased a little. When the entire fleet swarmed up, with a very domineering  When her posture crushed the remaining Gothic warships, Cen Changqian felt extremely happy and couldn't help laughing on the spot.

    "Sir, look quickly, is that guy in the sea the Gothic general you saw?" At this moment, a guard who followed Cen Changqian to meet the Goths suddenly shouted.

    Cen Changqian looked along his arm toward the sea, and happened to see a Goth struggling in the sea. And judging from his attire, he should be the one-eared general.

    "Asshole, hurry up and get him!" Cen Changqian said fiercely with an expression of hatred on his face. This was the first time since he was a child that he was treated like this, and he had to pretend to be timid and afraid of getting into trouble.  , this bad breath cannot be eliminated by just retaliating against this Gothic navy.

    At this time, the naval battle has come to an end. Except for a few Gothic warships that escaped with explosive character, the other warships were either sunk by artillery, or were rammed and sunk by large ships in Li Ke's fleet, and even some  It was sunk by the ballistae on the merchant ship. Now besides the rotten wood on the sea, there are Gothic soldiers shouting for help.

    "Shoot them all!" Following Li Ke's order, the soldiers or ordinary crew members on each ship all took out their bows and arrows, then aimed at the Goths in the sea and shot them one by one.  Don't mention human rights to them. War in this era is so cruel, not to mention that it was the Goths who took the initiative to provoke Li Ke and the others.  Therefore, these Goths will also have to bear the corresponding consequences.

    The guy in the sea was indeed General One-Ear, but when Cen Changqian sent someone to fish him out, the guy was already half dead.  His five-oared warship was the most conspicuous target among the Gothic warships, so it attracted a lot of artillery fire. In the end, it was blown to pieces, and General One-Ear was also blown away by a piece of wood.  The strip was inserted into the thigh and probably damaged the aorta. The blood continued to flow, and he passed out after being rescued.  Still haven't woken up yet.

    Wang Fangyi looked at General One-Ear on the deck, took off his waist knife and handed it to Cen Changqian, saying: "Brother Changqian, this guy looks like he won't survive. I think you can give him a knife while he's still alive. That's fine."  Revenge for what happened before!¡±

    However, after hearing this, Cen Changqian pushed away Wang Fangyi's waist knife and said with a strange smile: "It's too easy to kill him with one knife. At sea, you have to follow the rules of the sea."

    Wang Fangyi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then quickly realized what he said with a smile: "Brother Chang Qian is right, then we will follow the rules of the sea, tie his hands and feet, and throw him into the sea. If so, he will not die.  If so, then he is lucky."

    Hearing the conversation between Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian, the surrounding soldiers burst into laughter. There is indeed such a rule at sea.  That is, for enemies or crew members who have committed capital crimes, after being caught, they will be punished by the method Wang Fangyi said, and if the other party can escape from the rope.  And if he finds a piece of land on the vast sea, then the grievances of his fleet will be wiped out.  But in this case.  The possibility of escape was slim.

    There is nothing to say next. General One-Ear was tied into a stick and then thrown into the sea by Cen Changqian himself.  Moreover, when Cen Changqian was dragging him on the deck, the one-eared general who had been extremely arrogant before just woke up. After seeing the current situation, he loudly begged Cen Changqian for mercy. Unfortunately, Cen Changqian did not have any kind of womanly kindness.  Ignoring the other party's pleas on the spot, he directly threw the other party into the sea and fed it to the sharks.

    After wiping out the Gothic navy, Li Ke immediately escorted Lu Wan and the others out of the Strait of Gibraltar, and then entered an ocean current from north to south. According to their estimation, this ocean current is likely to turn westward near the equator.  , then they will be able to follow this ocean current to reach the east coast of America.

    After seeing off Lu Wan and the others, Li Ke returned with a fleet of four warships. When passing through the Strait of Gibraltar, the four warships found the naval station at Dingis Port and lined up to take pictures.  There was a fierce bombing in the military port.  Although the warships in the military port had been almost wiped out by them in the previous battle, the port facilities of the military port were still there. After these things were dropped, it was enough to make the Visigoths in the city feel distressed.

    But it was this shelling that gave Li Ke and the others a sudden idea: They would be enemies with the Visigoth Kingdom in the future anyway, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the opponent's strength as much as possible??Publishing Li Ke's name can also lay a solid foundation for ruling here in the future.

    This idea was unanimously agreed by Cen Changqian and others. Then they drove four warships and began to move along the Iberian Peninsula adjacent to the Mediterranean Sea. Whenever they saw a port of the Visigoth Kingdom, they used artillery to enter.  A random blast.

    However, because the ammunition on the warships was limited, the duration of each bombardment was very short, and the damage to the port facilities was limited, but it could have a very good publicity effect. The Visigothic Kingdom even gave them the name "Zeus Power".  The title "Zhang" is specifically called Li Ke's fleet.

    The reason why it is called the Scepter of Zeus is mainly because when the cannon is fired, it makes a fire and a loud noise, which is no different from thunder and lightning. Zeus is the god-king in Greek mythology, in charge of the most powerful weapon in the universe.  Weapon thunder and lightning, and the scepter in his hand is not only a symbol of royal power, but also his weapon. This is very similar to the artillery in Li Ke's fleet, so Li Ke and the others have this title.

    As Li Ke and the others bombarded the coastal ports of the Visigoth Kingdom, they naturally aroused the anger of the Visigoth Kingdom. However, there were not many navies in their kingdom. The one that Li Ke destroyed in the Strait of Gibraltar last time  The navy already accounts for one-third of their navy, and the remaining navy is distributed in various ports along the coast. It cannot be assembled in a short time. There are even a few Gothic nobles who are worried that even if all the remaining navy is  The assembly may not be the opponent of Zeus's scepter fleet.

    Facts have proved that those few Gothic nobles are still very far-sighted. Ten days after the bombardment of Dingis, the navy from several ports was assembled and began to encircle and suppress Li Ke and the others. Unfortunately, the number of this improvised navy was  Although there were more than the previous One-Er Generals, due to coordination and other issues, their strength was not as good as that of the One-Er Generals, so they were quickly defeated by Li Ke.

    It was the failure of this siege that made the Visigothic Kingdom finally realize the strength gap with Li Ke and the others. Therefore, the Visigothic Kingdom's navy never dared to fight with them again, and even shelled the port.  At that time, these warships just huddled in the military port and did not come out. Some navies were worried that the other party would rush into the military port and destroy it, so they temporarily blocked the waterway outside the military port in advance.

    With four main warships, the Visigoth Kingdom, which was quite powerful, did not dare to fight back. Such a brilliant record can be called the first time in the entire history of the Mediterranean.

    And as time went by, Li Ke's identities were slowly found out. Only then did they suddenly discover that the legendary Tang Dynasty in the Roman population was actually so powerful, and was just a group sent to escort the prince.  A small fleet can defeat the Visigoth Kingdom without the ability to fight back. If there are a few more such fleets, wouldn't even the Romans be their opponents?

    When the news of Li Ke¡¯s bombardment of the Visigoth Kingdom reached the Eastern Roman Empire, it also caused a huge sensation in the entire empire. Both nobles and commoners were thankful that they had such a powerful ally as the Tang Dynasty.  Especially after hearing the news, Irina felt proud of Li Ke.  At the same time, many big nobles also began to deliberately close their relationship with the queen's line, because they all knew the special relationship between Li Ke and Irina.

    At the same time, Dashi also received news that Li Ke had entered the Mediterranean, and also learned about the war between Li Ke and the Visigoth Kingdom. However, contrary to the excitement of the Romans, the upper echelons of Dashi were worried about this, and on land  They had already been overwhelmed by the Tang Dynasty, but they didn't expect that the navy of the Tang Dynasty was so powerful, and it was just a small fleet. I heard that the Daqi Empire, which came from the same lineage as the Tang Dynasty, had an even stronger navy.  , Dashi has such an opponent, it is really depressing to death.

    It was also Li Ke¡¯s achievements in the Mediterranean that enabled them to receive a warm reception from the cannibals when they passed through the Suez Canal and the Red Sea.  And at this time, Li Ke no longer needs to hide his identity. After all, it is different from when he came. Dashi could prevent him from entering the Mediterranean before, but now he does not dare to prevent him from returning to the Tang Dynasty, otherwise he will have to endure the consequences of the Tang Dynasty and Qi Dynasty.  Be angry!

    ¡°In addition, when Li Ke was in contact with Dashi officials, he deliberately expressed his desire to enter the Mediterranean again if he had the opportunity next time.  The result was as he expected. Although the upper echelons of Dashi expressed their welcome on the surface, they hinted to him in many ways that the Mediterranean Sea would be a battlefield between them and the Romans, and outsiders were not welcome.

    Li Ke didn't care about this at all, let alone the threat of Dashi. What's more, when he comes next time, he won't just go to the Roman Empire as an envoy to the Roman Empire, as Dashi imagined.  It¡¯s about taking root in the Mediterranean!

    "Just to prevent Dashi from getting stuck in the Suez Canal on the Red Sea, this matter requires Datang and Daqi, and even Li Zhenand two brothers Li Yun helped.  Therefore, after Li Ke left the Red Sea, he immediately rushed to Taiwan as quickly as possible, intending to discuss a practical solution with Li Min!
