Ancient Rome: From Slaveholder to Supreme Emperor

Chapter 261 The Battle of Siege

Ye Tian originally thought that the ally’s army would launch a siege war under the cover of the catapult, so he would let the soldiers guard the city wall.

However, Ciro just threw stones at them desperately and did not attack.

Ye Tian would really be a fool if he let the soldiers stand on the city wall to meet the falling stones from the sky.

So, after receiving a few waves of falling rocks, Ye Tian was so angry that he cursed, and directly gave the name, let the soldiers walk down the city wall in batches, and let Siro play by himself. It is best to throw all the stones over, and then they The pressure is also much less.

“stop!”

Ciro’s face was extremely gloomy, because he saw that the soldiers guarding the city actually-withdrew from the city wall.

But seeing that is not afraid of their catapult, it seems to be impatient, because they didn’t walk down the city wall very fast, and they didn’t panic, and felt a little dangling.

This makes him anxious!

But he probably guessed Ye Tian’s meaning, since you are not attacking, then I will not play with you. Come to defend the city.

Anyway, he is not in a hurry, so it’s better not to attack.

“Asshole! Shameless!”

Ciro couldn’t help cursing secretly.On the battlefield, he really saw such a human coach for the first time. Isn’t he afraid that they will attack them at this time?

Ye Tian is certainly not afraid, he does not believe that the allies sprint for two hundred meters, and then climb the wall as fast as they can directly go up.

The reason why other people dare not withdraw their troops in this situation is because they do not have so much confidence and confidence. They also use their advantage at high places to shoot and kill some enemies when the enemy initiates a charge.

But Ye Tian dared to do this because he was sure enough, because he had already set a trap in front of the city gate.

“Okay!! I have never seen such a proud person!”

Vitius said with a sneer, and then ordered: “The flint continues to throw!! The heavy armored infantry is ready to attack, ready to seize the city!!”

“Huha!!

The confederate army roared, the voices of 20,000 people were extremely loud, and the phalanxes began to be slowly mobilized.

“Go up the city wall, reach your position as quickly as possible, and prepare for battle! Pay attention to the flying rocks from the sky!!”

Seeing that the ally’s phalanx was running, Ye Tian knew that the ally’s army was about to attack, so he ordered the soldiers who had walked down the city.

After all, the siege will be more anxious than the defense. They don’t have enough patience and can’t afford it.

Under Ye Tian’s order, the soldiers’ complexions suddenly became extremely serious, and they rushed to the city wall at the fastest speed and set up their shields.

“boom!

“boom!”

Pieces of boulders fell occasionally, but under Ye Tian’s prompt, everyone would avoid them in advance without any casualties, but Ye Tian had a kind of unspeakable fatigue.

“kill!

“kill!”

“Go!

“what.…

The heavy-armored infantry of the Allies also launched an offensive, roaring frantically, fighting spirit, high spirits, and seemingly determined to die.

Siege is the cruelest war.

Soldiers in the first formation, holding a shield on the left and a javelin on the right, with a sharp sword on their waist, and wearing heavy armor.

They are trailblazers. In addition to withstanding the enemy’s fiercest attack, they also have the task of blazing a trail.

The ally is a colony of Rome. Their equipment will not lag behind the Roman army. Their fighting style has also inherited the Roman fighting style, and it is also an advanced battle formation after the road reform.

The javelin in Heavy Armor’s hand was very terrifying. Hundreds of people charged forward. When approaching the enemy, they projected the javelin in their hands at the same time to kill the enemy.

This way of fighting is very terrifying, because the javelin is very sharp, and when it is projected, the power is too terrible, and it is more terrible than the arrow rain, because the impact and penetration of the projected javelin are much more terrible than the crossbow. Up.

Think about it, if hundreds or thousands of javelins are fired at the same time, you can definitely harvest a wave of enemy lives before the two armies come into contact, and you can also destroy the enemy’s formation. When they come in contact, it’s a massacre.

The second phalanx was the real siege fighter. A few people carried the ladders, and there were dozens of them guarding the siege ram. A huge pillar was fixed on the four-wheeled vehicle and was slowly pushed forward.

………For flowers…

Many gunners and archers covered the second phalanx, escorting the siege troops.

The third phalanx immediately follows the second phalanx. Once the ladder is erected, they will climb the city wall as quickly as possible!

The siege began, and the scene was terrible.

These rebellious allies and soldiers were bewildered by huge interests, and they had a strong hatred of the Romans, so they all turned into warriors who did not fear death, exuding a terrible aura.

“boom!”

“boom!”

The catapult continued to throw stones to cover the right for the siege fighters.

This is the most important role of the catapult, and it is only at this time that the catapult begins to release its terrifying power.

…………0

Before the siege of the city, the attention of the defenders would be on the catapult, and they could easily avoid the stones falling from the sky, because the speed of the stones is not very fast.

However, once the city is attacked, the attention of the defenders will be distracted, and they will all be on the siege enemy.

If you avoid the stones, give the enemy a chance to climb the wall.

If you block the enemy, you may be killed by a boulder.

Of course, if the catapult is incorrectly calibrated, or if it is not strong enough, it will hurt itself.

“Stay steady!!”

“Stay steady!!

The scene of the enemy’s attack was too mighty, and the recruits began to get nervous and wanted to do something, but Ye Tian has always been very calm, reminding the soldiers to avoid the stones, and always stabilize the emotions of the soldiers, so that they don’t want to. impulse.

One hundred and fifty meters!

One hundred meters!

Eighty meters!

Seventy meters!

Allied soldiers who charged in the first line raised their javelins and were ready to project.

Generally speaking, 30 meters is the best throw distance, but if the distance is too close, they may be killed first, so the pitchers will choose a distance of more than 50 meters.

However, now it is siege, they need closer distance.

Sixty meters!

The pitchers are ready, but they continue to rush forward, at least they will not shoot until they reach fifty meters. Several.
