Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Vol 8 Chapter 131: Strike in Rome (3)

At first glance, Grand Scipio and the soldiers were shocked and thought it was a miracle!

But Big Scipio quickly understood and let the guards shout: "There are people in the car!! Someone inside the car!!..." thus eliminating the panic of the soldiers.

Big Scipio and the soldiers watched as the nearly 100 wooden cars entered the range of the bow and arrow, but there was no way to take them.

After a while, the front wooden car stopped in front of the ditch, and the wooden car behind it was followed by the splicing, one after the other, connected end to end, and soon became five wooden car columns in front of the ditch. , extending beyond the scope of the defending bow and arrow.

There were a lot of cars parked behind them. The cars were loaded with sacks filled with soil made by the soldiers of the Days of the Day of the Day, and countless Dionian soldiers lined up in a hand. Pass the sacks one by one, and the soldiers in the wooden carts will do the same. Soon, one by one, the soil sacks were thrown into the trenches one after another.

This strange way of filling can not help but surprise the Roman soldiers in the city, but it makes them feel nervous.

Although at the beginning Big Sippi did not know what to use these wooden cars, but instinctively, he still ordered the soldiers to launch rockets to them, but only a dozen of them in front of them, covered with a thin layer on top. Thin soil, wrapped in soaked linen, is not so easy to ignite.

At the same time, many of the arrowheads erected in front of a wide wooden board, lined up in the middle of the five wooden carts, pushing them towards the city, pushing them to be the light of the second leg of the Dionyrian The infantry, with the block of the wood, the arrow can hardly hurt them.

These archers were pushed to the front of the trench to form a less continuous wooden wall. The Dionysian light infantry fired arrows at the Roman soldiers in the city through the gap between the boards.

Ado Yous is in a wooden car. Like other comrades, he doesn't wear armor. This is to save energy and make the task faster.

In fact, Adoris did not know how many sacks were passed forward and felt very energetic.

At this time, the squad leader in front shouted: "Brothers, pay attention, go forward!"

Because before the siege, the team officers had told the soldiers about the action plan, so Adoris knew that the front trench had been filled, the front wooden car would move to the trench, tamping the ground, and then laying the board In order to pass the gutters.

Although the wooden car is large, except for the roof and the sides of the wooden board, the interior is hollow, but it is not heavy, and the wheels of the wooden car are two wheels, so that the car wall can be stuck without connecting the long axle. The side ensures that the middle of the wooden car can pass through people and things unimpeded.

Adonis and his comrades together pushed the wooden cart forward, and soon joined the front and rear wooden carts. A piece of long planks was quickly passed from the rear, passing through the hands of Adoris, and finally squatting on the trench.

Then, the team officers organized the soldiers in the wooden car to retreat quickly and orderly.

In the front of the siege array, Matonis learned from the bottom of his mouth that "Adolris is in good condition and has followed other soldiers to retreat." The heart was slightly relieved. He gave an order to the adjutant: "You can make heavy infantry." Attacked!"

"It’s hard, brother, it’s our turn!” said the Legionnaires who passed by Adoris and his comrades.

"May Hades bless you!" Adoris offered blessings to his comrades, and then began to wear armor while looking at the heavily armed Legionnaires with envy: some carrying ladders and some holding shield spears. Lined up in a two-way column, quickly entered the passage made up of wooden cars, and then quickly appeared in the opposite city, the siege war began.

When Matones saw the ladder hanging over the front wall and the second leg of the city, he couldn’t wait to give another order: "Let the siege tower attack!"

Under the shouts of the commanders, many soldiers rushed forward. Their task was to push the wooden car in front of the trench, which would provide more access to the successor's siege, as well as large. The siege equipment was pushed to the city and the obstacles were cleared.

Since some wooden cars have been ignited by rockets, soldiers have to spend more effort when pushing them away. When the wooden cart was pushed open, it was revealed that it was a very flat road leading to the battlements.

The Great Scipio commanded the soldiers to attack the Diaonian heavy infantry attached to the ants under the city, while also attacking and defending the Dionyrian light infantry behind the archery in front of the sulcus, thus pushing the Dionia The move of the wooden car, he has neither the ability to stop, but also some doubts about the actions that the Diaonians seem to do.

Not long after, he saw five tall, towering wooden towers in the distance. They seemed to be taller than the walls and slowly approaching the walls.

He was as shocked as the soldiers around him. During his long campaign, he participated in many sieges. The most difficult one was undoubtedly attacking Wei's love. It lasted for nearly ten years. Although it was difficult, it also enriched his attack. City, defending the city experience, but today, the Dionya novelty of the siege way has made him feel a little nervous, and now the super siege tower completely shocked him and the Roman soldiers, after all, he used to The peripheral forces of the game, the military technology is either behind Rome or the same as Rome, and the Kingdom of Dionia is obviously completely crushing Rome in this respect, which reflects the gap of civilization, let the Great Scipio There was a feeling of powerlessness in the spirit, but he quickly cheered up and shouted: "Prepare the rocket! Burn it with fire!"

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

The Dionysian engineering team was able to build five siege towers in one day, not only because of the large number of productions, but also that Davis had considered the need to attack the city before he left, so they made the attack in advance. Some key components of the city's equipment, and carry it with the army, such as: the most difficult to make wheels, axles, pulleys, L-shaped iron frame for fixing wood connections... This makes engineers and carpenters in the past day and a half Time can save time and complete production tasks.

And compared with the Siracusa Siege Tower, this siege tower is very different. Its front width is less than three meters, just equal to the width of the wooden cart, so it can be smoothed through those sections. A good communication channel, with its rear obliquely downwards, presents a right-angled trapezoid, and the wooden ladder is placed outside, allowing soldiers to enter the layers of the siege tower smoothly and quickly.

In the push tower, the penultimate wooden window has been opened, and a belly bow placed inside has opened the bowstring and put on the iron arrow. The soldier is motivated by the motive, and the iron arrow whistling. I flew to the head of the city, pierced the chest of several Roman soldiers, and fell with them to the back of the city.

The power of the abdomen bow makes the Roman soldiers facing the siege tower chilly. They have to be distracted to guard against this terrible murder weapon. Naturally, they cannot attack the Diaonian soldiers who are climbing the city. If not The mobile unit of the Great Scipio, who was placed in the city, arrived in time and almost let the Danonian soldiers board the city.

The Roman soldiers had not had time to catch their breath, and the Dionysian light infantry at the top of the siege tower began to throw arrows at the city's defenders who had entered the range.

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

At the same time as the Second Legion attack, the Sixth Legionnaires on the east side of the Second Legion, led by the head of the army, Trotillas, also took the siege of the First Army, the eastern section of the Roman South Wall. The attack was launched, forcing the defenders in the area to cope with it and not to divide the troops to assist the Great Scipio.

In the western section of the South Wall, the fifth legion led by Gio Gris and the fourth legion led by Oliver concentrated on attacking the southwest corner of the prominent Roman wall.

Dozens of artillery guns have been bombarding this wall since yesterday afternoon. Today, the damaged guns are one-fifth of the guns, but the two regiments did not hesitate to order attacks from the early hours of the morning, and Focus on the lower part of the city wall.

After being hit by a stone bullet for a long time, the stone on the outer wall of the city wall was broken, and a large piece of it fell off. In some places, a thick layer of bauxite was exposed inside.

Then, the squadrons concentrated the target of live bombardment on the top of the city wall. Although some stone slabs crossed the wall, the stone bullets hitting the wall caused the stone to splash. www.novelmtl.com~ The defenders caused danger and they had to back off.

The heavy infantry of Dionia took the opportunity to squat on the thick and wide planks, and rushed to the front of the trench to lay it on. The heavy infantry stepped on the ladder, stepped on the planks, crossed the trench, and began to attack the city. The attack also stops.

In the tide of the attack, there were also siege cars and lion cars. They were carefully pushed over the wooden bridge by the soldiers and rolled to the walls that exposed the earth...

The entire city of Rome is surrounded by tall walls. There is only one place without walls. It is the Roman vertebral bridge in the north and the distance between the two sides, but there is a wide Tiber River in front of it, and there are seven or eight meters. The high and steep embankment acts as a barrier, and the Romans see it as the safest place.

A few decades ago, in two wars with Rome's biggest enemy in the Tiber River, the Romans repelled the enemy's attack by guarding the vertebral bridge.

This time, when the Dionyns occupied the opposite side of the vertebral bridge, the original patrol captain Pullo Cassius, who was responsible for the defense of the northern part of Rome, was still prepared to adopt the same tactics.
