"A bunch of idiots! Can't you see that our army is coming for a landing attack? Hahaha!"
Ramza on the flagship laughed wildly at the actions of the Stobi people.
Then he waved gently.
Immediately, a hundred ships with landing craft approached the port of Botaitia in an orderly manner!
The landing operation officially begins!
"Since the Eubians won't listen, don't blame me for being rude! Prepare the Greek fire!"
Having already taken his commanding position, Achilles gave the order while gazing out at the sea.
Immediately, the dense Greek fire surrounding the harbor aimed their gun barrels at the one hundred Eubia ships.
"What the hell is that? Is it a coastal defense weapon?" Hippias asked in surprise.
"What good things can these country bumpkins who have never seen the sea come up with? Ignore them and order the First Fleet to keep moving forward. After entering the right position, lower the landing craft!" Ramza laughed.
Riding the wind and waves, a hundred ships soon arrived within the range of the Greek fire.
This also happens to be the right place to lower the landing craft.
So, hundreds of ships dropped anchor at the same time and stopped at sea.
Then, preparations began to lower the landing craft.
"Still thinking of landing? You're looking for death! Twelfth Squadron, Greek Fire, fire!"
Seeing through the Euboeans' intentions immediately, Achilles gave the order to attack without hesitation.
boom…
boom…
The Greek fires named by Achilles roared almost at the same time.
Exaggerated tongues of fire accurately hit the anchored ships.
This Greek fire was improved a second time by Archimedes.
The burning area was greatly reduced, but the range was increased three times, reaching a full three hundred meters!
In just a moment, all of Ubia's wooden ships were set on fire!
ah…
ah…
Tragic howls rang out, and the air was filled with a burning stench.
The ship had already dropped anchor 200 meters from the coastline. The nearly 100,000 Eubia mercenaries waiting to land had no way of moving the ship away!
They could only quickly put down the landing craft that had not yet caught fire, huddle together, turn around and row back.
I hope to climb onto the big ship on the sea outside our own country as soon as possible and escape the disaster.
"Cowardice! This is a cowardly act! Shoot their arrows and drive them back!" Ramza roared.
The mysterious fortifications of Botaitia Harbor were unprecedented! This terrifying destructive power dealt a huge blow to the morale of the Eubia army!
Ramza was so angry that he could only vent his anger on the landing craft.
Upon hearing this, the people on the large ship in the back row began to shoot arrows.
The soldiers on the retreating landing craft fell into the water one after another.
In desperation, thousands of landing craft had to turn around and rush towards the port of Botaitia, intending to fight to the death.
This group of small boats, each with only dozens of people on board, are quite flexible.
They quickly passed the burning sea ship and rushed towards the coast of Botaitia!
The Greek fire from the 12th Fleet fired twice more, burning about 200 landing craft.
It met other landing craft, but did not retreat, but accelerated forward.
It’s less than a hundred meters away from the coastline!
"Thinking you can win by having more ships? Haha. I can only say, you're overthinking it! Third formation, open fire!"
Seeing this, Achilles sneered and gave a second order.
Whoosh whoosh…
Upon receiving the order, the Greek fire of the third formation began to roar.
The twelfth formation stopped.
This formation is another improved form of Greek fire.
The flame has a range of only a hundred meters, but it covers the sky like a sprinkler truck, and the burned area is extremely large!
With just one round of salvos, 70% to 80% of Ubia's large landing craft were set on fire!
Wailing is heard everywhere!
A large number of Ubian mercenaries who were armed to the teeth were burned to death!
The rest had no choice but to abandon the boat and jump into the water, hoping to rely on their excellent swimming skills to swim the last few dozen meters!
"Release your arrows and shoot them!"
Achilles gave his third order.
Upon hearing this, a large number of archers immediately drew their bows and arrows and shot freely into the sea.
Without the protection of their ships and shields, the swimming Eubian mercenaries were complete sitting ducks.
Before they could reach the shore, they were shot by arrows and sank.
In the end, no one successfully landed!
A large area of sea water outside the beach was dyed red with blood!
"The attack isn't strong enough! Attack again! This time, send 500 ships!"
After a brief silence, Ramza roared.
Human wave tactics!
At the critical moment, Ramza once again used his successful experience over the years!
Back then, Ramza suppressed the Macedonian Silver Shield Spearmen by relying on his large numbers!
Anyway, I have four million troops at my disposal!
The loss of one hundred thousand people is just a drizzle!
Aren't your city defenses formidable? I'll just send in 500,000 troops to attack!
See if you still have the ability to hold on!
"Not good! My king, please look, only less than 20% of those coastal defense weapons were fired just now! Our army of 500,000 people charging is indeed very powerful. But if Stobi opens fire at full power, I'm afraid we will be the ones who suffer in the end!" Hippias beside him reminded.
"Shut up! Less than 20% opened fire? How do you know less than 20% opened fire? The others might just be fake models, used for psychological warfare! Or perhaps, this terrifying flame cannot be fired continuously! Otherwise, why did the Great North have such a powerful new weapon, but we have never heard of it?" Ramza retorted.
