Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

When Bagul listened to his sister's words, his expression gradually became firm. He said aloud: "You are right, I am a Lucania, but I am also a Diaonian citizen. We cannot let this one unify. Good opportunity for Caña!"

"Big brother, there is a problem now." Asistas saw the thoughts of Bagul, and immediately asked: "The strength of Picosis is growing too fast. You see, we need to reinforce their sima. tribe?"

"We don't do anything, the sly Cincinnag will be convinced that we are in trouble." After Baquler released the confusion, he was fully committed to the upcoming battle, as the third legion Grumman Tum’s actual commander, his decisiveness and determination will show up: “And these tribes in the south have already received our notices in advance, and they have already prepared for it. Now everything is ready, just waiting for the army chief Hironimos and Lizzar, they led the troops, and I believe that Lizaru is eager to use a big win to wash his shame at the isthmus!"

Although Asistus is also looking forward to the early arrival of the battle, he, as an assistant to Bagul, got the help of Dafos 'to help Bakuule organize the Grumendum battle plan', so consider the problem I have to be more detailed in order to help the ruthless Bagul to check for missing: "There is no movement in Potentia, is there any problem?"

"Don't worry, the Potentia people have been frightened by the last failure. They have to defend against the Samonets and can't afford the big losses. And, as far as I know, their great leader, Pu'am, is a Very steady person, I am afraid that when he wants to act, we have already launched an attack under the city of Picosis!" Bagul smiled confidently.

Nikru’s embarrassed escape to Cosenza, Piran was shocked. After listening to Nikru’s story, he was surprised and regretted: the Diaonian fortress was built so quickly. To shock him, and knowing that Bisinia was captured by the Dionys, and sending the Bisinian warriors to attack is indeed a stun in his eagerness, in the absence of the Bruce warriors. More than two thousand soldiers were disintegrated in this way, which really hurts him!

Although Nikru assured him that as long as he went to the front of the battle to speak, these Bisinians would not be willing to fight if they would not immediately turn their backs.

Pi's Lun did not intend to fully believe his words. This violent, savage Bisinian sergeant would not have been very popular. The rebellion of the Viking soldiers was also very much related to him.

At this time, Pi'an can only press the anxiety, while the other tribes are forced to send as many soldiers as possible, while waiting for the army led by Petalou.

At dusk, not only Petalu led the army, but the big head of Ambania, Bogham, also led the army to meet, and Pi'an was only slightly determined.

Early the next morning, 11,000 Cosenza warriors, 2,500 Anbalia warriors, and 5,000 other race fighters led by Pillar, Petalou, Beckham, and Nikru, nearly 20,000 people. There are two thousand slaves who marched east together.

"The big leader, it's not good! The enemy is going to start the siege!" Pangueru was not too nervous after hearing the report from his men. After Nikoru and Bogham took the troops and left, for two days, Dior Nine people did not appear, let him begin to believe what Berkham said: Kna Petia is not the focus of the Diaonian attack!

"What is it? Before the Dionys did not attack, not all of us easily repelled! Rest assured, with the firmness of the city of Kna Petia, the Dionyns have no way to take us!" Pangueru cheered his own men.

"But the Diaonians are different in this siege. They are digging earth..."

"Digging?"

When Pangueru rushed to the wall, the soldiers of the Fourth Army of Dionia had laid the slopes 100 meters away from the wall with earth and stone, creating a flat surface about 20 meters in length.

Then, Pangueru saw that the Dionytes placed a wooden shelf about one person high... The Brudy soldiers were curious to guess what it was, and many people thought: This is The tools that the Greeks sacrificed to their gods.

Pangueru stared at the front and watched the enemy lift the wooden boxes one by one to the side of the wooden frame. The anxiety in the heart gradually increased...

"Ready? Can you launch?" Hilos came to the front of what Daves called "the squadron", and some expected to ask the captain of the red cap.

The captain of the artillery was embarrassed to answer: "We still need to look at the hand to position the gun."

The observer was an apprentice from the mathematics research institute built by Daves. He was standing in front of the captain's side. After hearing the words of Hilos, he said, "There is nothing, but it is ok, but We have to try a bomb first."

He pointed to the wall in front and added: "Although the distance from the city wall is about 100 meters, the land of Kna Petia is higher, and the gun is not on the same plane. It is not good to judge the drop. I need to finish the test. After the results, correct it again."

The captain nodded and understood that Hilos was a bit stunned. He knew that he could not learn all kinds of knowledge as easily as Davis, and he would mingle with the knowledgeable scholars. He couldn't understand, but he knew that the sight-seeker was selected by Davis from the mathematics research institute he valued, and his ability was definitely no problem.

“Put the elevation lever to the middle position and pull the bowstring to the maximum scale.” The sighting hand said.

Immediately, the captain shouted loudly to all the gunners.

The gunners immediately turned the sets of pulleys at the end of the rifle, and the iron hooks began to pull the string of the finger thickness outwards. This is the improvement of the Syracuse gun after the horse has studied the pulley to achieve certain results. In order to make the bow and string move more effortlessly, as the bowstring moves more and more backward, the section of the two wooden armatures that are fixed by the torsion spring group on the iron main beam is also moved backwards, not only two 弩The gunner felt a little hard, and even the torsion spring group connected to the main beam made a "squeaky" sound. The arm even showed a slight curvature, and the bowstring was pulled to the position of the last scale of the guide rail. The gunner was busy holding the pulley. The shaft.

"The guns are ready!" The captain ordered, so the gunners took a double-handed stone bomb from the wooden box next to it. (It was mixed with gravel by "Daves Cement" and placed in a circular mold to solidify. It is made by a slave, so the shape is round and smooth. It is placed on the woven mesh bag in the middle of the bowstring.

"Launch!" The captain gave a command, the gunners pressed the circlip, and the two springs of the thick tendon tightly twisted together led the pulled arm to rebound, and the huge force generated by the torque The bowstring and the bowstring drive the stone to roll forward in a lightning-like manner on a smooth rail and then pass through a circular hole in the middle end of the main beam.

Just listening to the "call", under the gaze of Hilos, the stone bombs flew out, and in the blink of an eye it became a little black spot in the air.

In Pan Gailu's vision, the small dots in the air quickly became larger. In the exclamation of the soldiers, it leaped over the city wall, fell into the city, and pierced the roof of a family, causing exclamation.

The soldiers panicked and discussed what it was.

Pan Gailu's face is gloomy: this is undoubtedly the new weapon of Dionya's siege, but why didn't it be used some time ago, but after Nikru and Bogham left, they started to attack the city? Is this all planned in advance?

"The elevation angle is high, and the shooting distance is about 300 meters." The observer observed the flight path of the stone bomb and made a rough judgment. He carefully looked at the comparison table of the elevation angle, the torsion scale and the range drawn by the mathematics research institute according to the parabolic equation of the new study, and then said: "The elevation pole is placed one space forward, and the bowstring is still pulled to the maximum. , put a bomb."

When the captain issued an order and the gunner was busy, the sighting hand said to Hilos: "According to our research, the upper middle section of the general wall is relatively weak. Our guns should try to concentrate on this area of ​​the wall... ”

Hilos carefully nodded as he listened.

The stone bombs flew out again. This time, the city wall was hit accurately. The loud noise of the "squeaky", the gravel splashed, and the enemy's exclamations were still clearly heard 100 meters apart.

The sighting hand and the captain were obviously satisfied with the location of the bombardment, so continue to order: "All the guns are fired according to the previous settings."

More than a dozen stone bombs flew out, and a group of "stone flowers" bloomed on the enemy's wall.

"Continue to launch ~www.novelmtl.com~ Don't stop!" Hilos is obviously very satisfied with the power of the gun, but he does not rely entirely on this secret weapon, he has another hand to prepare: "Command the soldiers to start Building a causeway!"

The commander was ordered to go.

Hilos turned and said to Cypros, who had been behind him: "Master Cypress, I hope that your men can also participate in the siege."

"You don't have to be so polite, you are pleased to order the head of the Hilos Army!" Cipros said humbly, his eyes did not deviate from the whistling stone in the air, and a roar of his voice was shocking to his heart: the Diaonians Invented this siege weapon and the four-meter-high engineering tower that is being intensified in the camp, and which city-state wall can withstand the attack of the Dionyrians, the Greeks will be defeated, just hide in the city. Will the era of being able to withstand the attack of powerful enemies end?

In the parliamentary hall of the city of Bisnia, the head of the Third Army Corps, Dracos, was in the middle, with seven captains on the left, Baalilipi on the right, and Brig, who was persuaded to return by Baalili, and the original The newly elected Krelu in the Nikru family (that is, the young man who led the Biancian four soldiers to drive away Nikru).
