Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

When Marcus saw it, he immediately shouted: "Listen to the order, don't attack it!"

"Don't shoot arrows!! Don't shoot arrows..." The commander walked along the wall and rushed, conveying the orders of Marcus.

In Magus's view, the forefront of the Dionysian siege forces was originally a heavy infantry. The arrow had a very small threat to them, not to mention the fact that the board was still topped with wooden boards. Why bother the arrow and consume the strength of the soldiers.

The Dionysian soldiers have come to the ditch just over 20 meters from the city wall. They put the wooden boards on the head and placed them on the ground in front of the ditch.

At this moment, Marcus issued the password for the attack and first threw a javelin, so the Roman soldiers who had already prepared were shooting javelins and arrows at the enemy not far from the city.

Who knows, the Dionysian soldiers put down the planks and immediately pulled back and ran back, causing most of the long-range attacks to be lost.

While these heavy infantry were running back, they approached the city in a strange formation in the distance.

"Turtle tortoise?!" The Roman soldiers in the city head rioted. Since the Roman army reform, the most practical tactics of siegeing the city in the past ten years have actually appeared in the enemy's formation, even though I have listened to Dionysi before. The citizens who fought in the Asians said that 'Dyonia's tactics are very similar to those of Rome', but when it really appeared in front of Marcus and Roman soldiers, they still felt a guilty heart.

When these Dionysian heavy infantry came to the front of the long planks, they quickly dispersed the tortoise shells, and then quickly formed a row of shield walls that slanted toward the city. The movements were as fast as if they had experienced countless trainings. The Roman soldiers have not responded, they have completed the array conversion.

Then seven or eight unarmed Deonian soldiers under the shield were kneeling on the ground, shouting slogans together, pushing one end of the board together, pushing the board over the five-meter-wide trench, and letting the board One side is placed on the other side of the trench to form a simple wooden bridge.

How can the Roman soldiers make them easy to get rid of, the arrow rain, the javelin rain poured down, hit the shield array, "叮叮邦邦" rang, and occasionally a javelin pierced the long shield, stabbed the soldier's arm, Or the arrow passes through the shield and hurts the unprotected thighs of the soldiers, but they still hold back the pain and maintain the integrity of the shield.

Soon, more than twenty wooden bridges were set up on the trenches, and the Dionysian soldiers helped the injured teammates and began to retreat. In the retreat, they quickly completed the transformation of the shield to the tortoise shell.

The enemy's skillful formation conversion ability, in the face of a strong long-range attack, can always maintain the stability of the shield array, retreat quickly, and can also take care of the wounded soldiers... This is definitely a team with extremely trained training and rich combat experience! Marcus knew that he had encountered an enemy, but at this moment he had no time to feel the panic: "La the rocket, burn those wooden bridges!" He pointed to the planks on the ditch under the city and hurriedly ordered.

The auxiliary soldiers immediately wrapped the arrow around the tarred cloth and handed it to the archer.

While the Dionyrian soldiers under the city are retreating, there are more soldiers forming a larger tortoise shell to advance toward the city. At the rear of these tortoises, there are nearly a thousand soldiers without armor, and some shoulders are kneeling. The bows, they are arranged in a more loose array, and they are about to enter the range of the bow and arrow.

"It's the light infantry of Dionia!" The squadron leaders in Rome on the city quickly made judgments and decided to give them a head-on blow to prevent them from coming to the city and threatening the city defenders.

When the Roman soldiers pointed their bows at them, these Dionysian light infantry stopped at 150 meters.

Marcus saw some people in the Dionysian light infantry keep shaking their arms, and there was some doubt at the moment. Soon he saw countless black spots whistling, most of them squatting on the wall below the Roman soldiers.

"Ah!" A soldier who was not far from Marcus suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, only to see the blood on his brow bones.

The soldiers picked up the anecdote and handed it to Marcus.

This is a black lead shot smaller than an egg. Marcus smashed his hand and was a little sinking.

Stone soldiers! This is what Camilos calls the Dionysian slinger! Marcus suddenly remembered the battle report made by Camilos in the Senate.

Yes, this is the characteristic unit of the First Legion - Rhode Island throwing stone, and the only remaining fruit in the entire Dionyrian army. After the first throw, they made corrections according to the placement point, so when After they once again waved the slings and threw the lead pellets out, the throwing was obviously much more accurate. Most of the lead pellets fell on the city.

The Roman soldiers hurriedly guarded the long shield over their heads, and the archers did not have protective gear and could only dodge to the side of the heavy infantry. There was a panic on the wall where Marcus was.

At this moment, the tortoise's tortoise array had reached the wooden bridge, and they quickly unfolded, revealing two ladders hidden in the array, and each of the six soldiers carrying a 20-meter ladder, quickly Cross the wooden bridge and rush to the front wall.

The heavy infantry armed with sword shields, followed by the sulcus.

The Roman soldiers in the city did not care about the lead shots that had been evaded, and they began to throw javelins and fire arrows.

Under such a fierce attack, the Diaonian heavy infantry began to suffer casualties, but at this time they could not attend to the rescue comrades. The soldiers of the 扛 梯 ladder fell, and the soldiers closest to him immediately put down the sword shield and took over. In this way, the soldiers’ ladders were quickly leaning against the wall, and then the ladder was quickly pulled down and pulled hard. The pointed ladder feet were plunged into the soil, and the bent iron hooks at the top were tied. After living in the city, there were soldiers on both sides, and the ladder was quite stable.

The Dionysian heavy infantry left the long shield on the top of the head, and the right hand grabbed the ladder and climbed up.

The young soldiers of Rome began to play a role, some down the rock, throwing wood, some pouring down the oil, throwing torches, some of the water just boiled down, and some use The sword slashes the junction of the ladder and the iron hook...

The light infantry of the First Corps of Dionia also rushed to the city, throwing arrows and javelins into the city, and the Roman soldiers who attacked but exposed their bodies outside the city became their target of attack...

"The brothers did a good job, and they have already attacked the city very safely without any loss!" Amintas has already arrived at the rear of the stone squad, less than two hundred meters from the wall, so that it is easy to observe the situation. He is also very convenient to command. He is very satisfied with the progress of the siege so far, so he said to Princetons next to him: "This is your credit!"

Davers worried that Almistas, who was attacking the city alone, would be too risky and let the First Legion lose too much, so Plintos was sent, considering that the cooperation between them was quite enjoyable.

Printols said modestly: "The main army leader, the first legion you led, is well trained!"

"Yeah, the first legion has the strongest fighting power! And the reserve soldiers who had been supplemented before did not lose face to the Turui citizens, and they were no worse than the veterans! Unfortunately, they did not take the siege tower, the siege car, the rifle... These siege weapons are handed over to our first legion, otherwise the enemy in the city will suffer more!" Amintas complained loudly.

Printoles did not answer. When he came, Davers had already warned him: this time the First Corps served as an auxiliary attack. The first legion had repeated battles before, and the loss was not small. Do your best to prepare for the big battle in the back battle.

As a staff officer, Princetons actually understands that there is still a consideration in Dave's mind that he has not said it. He can't always let the First Corps take the lead, fight for merit, and let other legions have the opportunity to fight and make meritorious deeds. It is a kind of balance, and it is also beneficial to exercise the combat effectiveness of other legions and improve the overall combat effectiveness of the Dionian army.

"However, even without the siege equipment, our first legion can still break through the Roman city between other legions!" Amintas was full of pride, confidently said: "Printols, another half an hour, I Just send the remaining three brigades and put more pressure on the Romans!"

Printols was shocked and he was euphemistically persuaded: "The head of the army, the siege has only just begun. Are we going to observe the enemy's defenses first and then make a decision? And will the Roman allies come to aid, and now Uncertain, we must always pay attention to the return of the detective ride ~www.readwn.com~ So these three brigades as a reserve team, it is best not to move lightly!"

Amintas’s eyes will be attacked, but he will soon hold back. He can be mixed in the Dionyrian army for so many years, and his mind is much more delicate than his rough face: before the war, Why did Daves send Printoles to the First Legion? Why come? Then he said these words, isn’t it the instinct of his majesty?

Amintas suddenly didn't want to talk, just with his hands on his hips, he kept watching the battle ahead, and didn't look at Princetons.

.......................................

Big Scipia stands in the middle of the South Wall, which is the closest to the center of Rome. Even though the left and right walls are next to the Esquiri and the Cili Mountain, the Dionys even broke the two walls. Due to the blocking of the hills behind it, it is impossible to push the city quickly, so this will be the focus of the Diaonian attack.

Big Sippia felt that his judgment was correct, because after he heard the enemy camp outside the city, he saw many enemy soldiers rushing out of the military camp and began to line up, but then he did not see the soldiers of the Dionys. Approaching the city wall, but a rectangular wooden car is no longer pulled by the beasts, lined up in a road column, automatically rolling towards the wall...
