Seeing the panicked enemy ships rushing towards him, Hector was eager to show off!
He felt that attacking at this moment was exactly what King Stobi wanted, "assistance and cooperation"!
King Stoby would never object and would be quite satisfied with his own initiative.
After receiving the order from the eldest prince, the Trojan warships, which had been unable to hold back, rushed out.
It has already been like a frightened bird.
Seeing that they were surrounded by a large number of enemy warships, the last hundred or so Athenian clippers that barely escaped the sea of fire all chose to surrender.
This first battle ended here.
The whole process took less than ten minutes!
The Athenian central fleet and the trailing fleet have not yet arrived at the battlefield!
Seeing that the Clippers were destroyed so quickly, the remaining more than a thousand Athenian warships that were still rushing towards this side chose to slow down!
A huge shadow hung over the heart of every Athenian soldier!
Including Pericles, he was also stunned!
So scary!
Stoby actually has a ship with such terrifying attack power, and mature tactics to match it!
If you rush forward rashly before you understand this move, you will only end up seeking your own death!
In desperation, Pericles had to order the ship to turn around and the entire army headed towards the port of Botaitia.
The new warships of the Stoic people were certainly formidable, but according to Seleucus, Botaïtia's coastal defenses were also very strong!
Now that Boeotia has captured Botaïtia, the Athenian navy, relying on coastal defenses, will surely be able to force back the Stobi navy!
No matter how powerful the Stoby Navy is, it will be like a tree without roots if it loses its supply port!
Pericles believed that if the battle continued like this, the Athenian navy would definitely be the winner in the end!
"The Athenian navy was scared away!"
"Haha! The so-called world's strongest navy is nothing more than this!"
"It feels so good, so good!"
…
Realizing that the Athenian navy had withdrawn from the battle, all the soldiers in the Stoica and Trojan joint fleets cheered!
Especially Stoby's soldiers.
In the first naval battle, they actually defeated Athens, the strongest maritime power!
And we didn’t lose a single person!
This kind of experience makes everyone feel like they are in a dream!
"My Lord, the enemy has turned and is heading for Botaitia! Should we give chase?"
After observing the new movements of the Athenian navy, Hector asked Xia Zhe for instructions.
Chase?
What are you chasing?
Hurry up and fix it, then run away!
Hearing this, Xia Zhe thought to himself.
However, it is certainly a good thing that the Athenian navy was scared away.
This shows that my sea fortress is really useful.
In that case, I'd better go back. On that invulnerable ship, the sense of security is certainly much higher than here.
"Let me go back to my flagship first. As for what to do next, pay attention to the flag signals from my flagship." Xia Zhe answered without comment.
"OK!"
Hector obeyed the order, immediately lowered the boat, and sent someone to escort Xia Zhe back to the flagship of the sea fortress.
After all this trouble, more than ten minutes had passed when Xia Zhe returned to the command position of the sea fortress.
The Athenian fleet in the distance was approaching the port of Botaitia.
Boom boom boom…
The Greek fire deployed around the port suddenly roared, scaring Xia Zhe.
Only then did he notice that the sound of cannons and shouts of killing from Botaitia's side had been silent for some time.
"Look! The Athenian warships in the front have been hit by our Greek fire!"
"Yes! It seems the Prime Minister and his men have already annihilated the Boeotian Army and turned their guns around!"
"Well done! Give these bastards from Athens a good beating!"
…
The high priest, Archimedes and others around Xia Zhe pointed at the port and cheered.
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhe looked intently towards Botaitia. He saw that the Greek fire stationed at the port had indeed turned back towards the sea.
About two hundred Athenian warships were caught off guard and hit by Greek fire.
The other ships seemed quite hesitant, as if they were stunned and a little panicked.
"Who has Botaitia?" Xia Zhe couldn't help but feel surprised.
The facts were just as the high priest and his men had guessed.
Seeing the Stobi fleet leaving the port, Pagnadas, who was commanding the charge, became more confident.
He felt that the Stobi army could no longer hold on, which was why so many of them chose to flee.
Without hesitation, Pagnadas immediately ordered all reserves to join the battle!
Try to capture the port and the palace as quickly as possible and completely seize Botaitia!
However, when the Theban heavy cavalry overcame numerous difficulties and finally reached the port, tragedy struck!
Boom boom boom…
Hundreds of Greek fire tanks guarding the port opened fire!
The density of this raging flame is several times higher than those on the periphery just now!
After the first round of attacks, more than 200,000 Boeotian soldiers were burned to death, and more than 100,000 were injured.
Before they could catch their breath, the second round of attacks began mercilessly!
At this point, the war can no longer be fought.
The Theban heavy cavalry who were still alive turned around and fled, no longer caring about the spirit of warriors!
The infantry following behind Boeotia were attacked by their own fleeing cavalry, resulting in heavy casualties.
The Piochaoxia's staggered attack formation, which had been somewhat organized, collapsed in an instant!
"Go back! Don't run away!"
Pagnadas, who was riding on a tall horse and commanding his troops, shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to get his troops to regroup.
