Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Compared to the light infantry of Dionia, the siege tower is even more threatening to the defenders of the city.

Every time the launch of the abdominal arch, the arrow in the middle of the arrow was fierce, so that the defenders facing the siege tower were frightened and shunned, and they led to a few small open spaces on the crowded city.

Of course, with the advancement of the siege tower, the elevation angle of the abdomen bow and the city head increased, and the abdominal arch could not be raised, making it impossible to accurately shoot the city head, resulting in a greatly reduced threat, but the thunder and the thunder shooters at the top of the tower But they began to exert their power. They took advantage of the protection of the wooden fence and condescended to throw heavy javelins at the city. This kind of javelin can be no more than the arrow, the Roman heavy infantry is tied, the same will be injured, forcing them to be guarded with a shield, the Roman archers also shoot at the top of the siege tower, attacking these Dionysian without armor protection Gunman.

The suppression of the city tower by the siege tower caused the defenders of this section of the wall to weaken the attack on the dianian soldiers who attacked the city, and they were attacked by the other side, and each time the enemy was killed or driven down the city. Roman soldiers have to pay two or three times the cost of casualties.

And now the biggest danger is coming, the siege tower is slowly approaching the wall. Even though the Roman garrison constantly throws tarmac on it, it constantly ignites the tower, and even on the road it has turned into a sea of ​​fire, nearly 100 people from the Dionysian team are in the tower. On the side of the rear, under the cover of the wooden shed outside the tower, while using the sand to smash the burning oil on the ground, pushing the tower more and more, even if someone is injured or even falls, there is no Shake their determination to complete the task.

In the end, this behemoth finally reached the wall.

"Quickly retreat from there! Quickly retreat!" Because of the critical situation, Big Sippia personally rushed to the command, and he saw the soldiers crowded in the city, yelling.

Just as the Roman soldiers retreated to both sides, the wooden iron-clad bridge tied to the top of the siege tower crashed down and landed on the battlements, and the Roman soldiers still underneath fell to the ground.

Daxi Phi Phi Alai was not overwhelmed by the soldiers who were overwhelmed under the wooden bridge. He shouted: "Fire oil! Throw fire oil!!..."

In fact, the Romans did not anticipate that they would be attacked by the army. The city did not reserve a large amount of tar. In the past two days, almost all the tar used for lighting in the Roman people’s homes had been searched, and the battle was almost exhausted. The Romans had to urgently transport the olive oil they had come up with.

"Hey! Hey!..." Dozens of pottery jars went up.

But at the same time, the soldiers of the Second Legion of the Dionynia, who had been preparing for the Tali, had already shouted the name of Hades, and quickly rushed to the wooden bridge from the tower, and they rushed forward. Use a long shield to shoot down the clay pots that fly.

Of course, some soldiers were splashed by olive oil, and then unfortunately caught in a torch, and instantly turned into a fireman, he screamed sternly, but at this moment his comrades will not stop to save him. Instead, the flourishing fighting spirit was turned into full of anger, without fear of the thorn guns erected in front of them, blocking the long shields on the chest, jumping off the bridge, one by one like the top of the mountain, resolutely jumping into the Roman soldiers In the array, regardless of the gunshot wound in his body, waving the dagger in his hand, lightning bolted to the surrounding enemies.

Although the war has so far, the temporarily recruited Roman soldiers have begun to adapt to the atmosphere of the battlefield, and under the encouragement of defending their homeland, they have diluted the fear of death, but they are either too young, lack of combat experience, or too old. The physical strength is not enough, and the soldiers of the Second Legion of the Dionynia are all elite, all like a tiger, stirring up the array of Roman defenders, and most of the screams are from the defenders.

Fortunately, Big Sippi has already anticipated this. Most of the 3,000 Roman youth soldiers who stayed in Rome were placed in the South Wall defense, and 1,000 of them were used as mobile forces to cope with unexpected situations. . At this moment, he transferred 400 elite soldiers into a dense array of guns at both ends of the city's aisle, rushing in front of the Roman soldiers, attempting to smash the Dionian soldiers who rushed to the city. Annihilation.

Who knows, the experienced Diorian soldiers in the battle disregarded their own casualties, relying on crazy attacks to expand the space in the city, and the subsequent Dainon soldiers braved the growing fire and rushed to the city... While they are attacking, they are also rapidly forming a battle.

Waiting until the top of the old Roman wounded wounds, the death of death, the retreat of the retreat, and the Roman soldiers directly facing the enemy, the Dionian soldiers have stood on the city for about 60 people, they composed The shield array, the attack before and after the defense, like a meteorite tied to the city.

Although Big Scipio saw this kind of situation, although he was anxious, he understood that this was not a short-term solution to the battle. Fortunately, the siege tower had already ignited a fire, even the tower that threatened the defenders. The Javelin throwers have been withdrawn, and it is no longer possible for the enemy to use it to rush to the city. This has given him some comfort.

But soon, his mood fell to the bottom of the valley: "General Scipio! There... The siege tower over there is nearing the wall!"

Great Scipio quickly led 400 elite soldiers to the past.

This time he decided to learn the lesson and directly let the soldiers come to the city where the tower is to be close, to block the enemies rushing from the tower, and never give them a chance to stand on the city.

But in this way, he went back and forth, and he found that the strength of the defending city was already a little nervous.

At this time, the rushing commander finally brought him good news: the Senate sent more than 1,400 reinforcements.

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

In the distance under the city, Mattonis, who had been paying attention to the battlefield, sighed for the siege tower that was burning and collapsed. Soon he was excited about another siege tower approaching the city wall.

"Fast, send another company to go up! This time we will not only rush to the city, but also break through the enemy's interception, climb the city for other soldiers, clear the obstacles!"

"The head of the army, we... there are no company to send." The adjutant reminded me in a dilemma.

"What?! Just not yet -" Matones turned back.

There are many people not far behind him, but half of them are engineers and artisans. They are still busy and busy with siege equipment. There are also some heavy-duty personnel who are not only responsible for pushing and making. The siege equipment, while carrying some of the wounded soldiers on the way back; there are some doctors and nurses in the medical camp, who are carrying out intense battlefield treatment for the wounded soldiers who are brought back...

Matones once again looked at the battlefield that was **** in front.

The dozens of archers in front of the trenches were burned a lot, and a bunch of rising smoke blocked most of the field of vision; the light infants fired arrows at the city more slowly than before, I am afraid they also felt Fatigue.

Under the city, the heavy infantry of the Second Legion squatted on the ground, hiding the whole body under the long shield. At first glance, it seems that the land under the city is black, and there is still black and faint light; only one The ladder is erected like a big tree, resting against the wall, and then the Dionysian soldiers crawling on it dyed the gray wall into a strip of gangsters, and soldiers continued to fall down. There were soldiers added to it underneath; from time to time, a flame of fire rose up under the city, mixed with screams of sternness, and every time Matonis was in a tight heart.

Five tall towers have been burned down, and one is passing through the trench. Because some sandbags are not compacted, the siege tower is broken and the axle is broken and falls into it. It cannot be advanced. It can only be used as a belly bow. And the platform where the Javelinman is attacking...

In the sharp eyes of Matonis, he also saw the shields formed by the soldiers under the city, and some wounded soldiers were struggling. They were too heavy to move to the rear and were taken out by the heavy personnel. .

Matones then thought of the dozens of soldiers who were surrounded by the city. He began to be anxious: if the city of Rome could not be captured today, the soldiers who could not smoothly retreat in the city and under the city would be very miserable!

Thinking of this, he would pretend that the words "to save strength, reduce casualties, in order to cope with the next battle" before the war, and say aloud: "Let the soldiers of the division give me a hard blow." The military number urged the soldiers to step up their attacks! And... hurry back to the camp and tell your majesty, I asked to transfer another heavy infantry battalion!"

"The head of the army." The adjutant reminded: "Before receiving the notice, the big battalion has sent four brigades to stop the reinforcements of Rome~www.readwn.com~ There are only two brigades left in the camp, I am afraid -"

"Don't be embarrassed, go!" Matones blinked with anger and shouted.

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

At this time, in the big army account, Daves has just received the return of the detective: newspaper, nearly two thousand people from the southeast of the city of Rome, nearly two thousand people, is rapidly marching north.

Davers immediately looked at the map, and the staff responsible for analyzing the enemy's situation, Clauñussus, also quickly made a judgment based on the previous information: "Your Majesty, this is still from the Latin city states of Prinist, Bonnet, Gabi and so on. Reinforcement."

He pointed to a red dot on the map and said: "The goal they want to attack is probably the Sixth Legion!"

"The soldiers of the Sixth Legion are mostly attacking the city..." Daves indulged, decisively said: "I immediately sent the heavy infantry brigade of the Fifth Corps who stayed in the camp to stop!"

"Your Majesty!" Clauñussus reminded: "If you send this heavy infantry squad, there will be only one light armored squadron of the Second Legion in the camp!"
