All the plans are gradual, focusing on small things. Now Oka is a centurion in the top of the whole empire, and he doesn’t even have the ability to speak weakly. He can’t help but be glad that he decided to join the army when he left Aining. He has the advantages of ordinary people, law and enterprise. He can strive for military achievements by virtue of his extraordinary courage and well-known excellent strategy, and his power is always commensurate with his words. Rome has always had a legion worship to command the army. Therefore, it is possible for Oka to truly have a force of his own to save Rome on a solid line. At this moment, Oka is more eager than ever to
Oka’s eyes suddenly became a lot deeper, so from this moment on, he can be a simple soldier again. He must learn politicians, talents and means. If he wants to save Rome, he must go through a bloody road. If he can’t fall, he can step on other people’s bodies!
Section 20 Fighting and Fighting Ten Long Flames
Wind and cloud converge on the earth, and tens of thousands of aleman’s troops rush to the towering east wall of Stoyatum like roaring iron flow!
The fierce siege war first struck each other from a distance, and with the commanding advantages and excellent equipment, the Roman legion threw the first wave of arrows and rain first! At the head of the city, 3,000 were transferred together to form a group. Roman auxiliary archers raised their long bows with arrows, and sent out the first wave of volley in the bugle call and the call of military executives. Thousands of long arrows rose up and shuttled out of the clouds, and finally fell into the central fan area of the barbarian army! Suddenly, blood shot up and arrows filled the ground, and hundreds of people screamed. alemanni was like a hedgehog. He fell to the ground when he didn’t hum, and more people were injured by arrows. He threw himself into great pain. * * The moment in the charge army actually came out of a human area that was hundreds of meters long!
At the same time, aiming for a long time, Scorpio crossbow also broke out! The strong torsion spring drives the crossbow arrow and spear in the trajectory to pop up rapidly, and the initial speed of terror is very explosive! See a road wu mans in the narrow crib mouth a flash out of the moment I heard the charge of aleman, the squeal of the bellow! A large Scorpio can shoot a spear as long as three meters, which can kill three or four people in terror, and even a slight touch will be a splash of flesh and blood, causing irreparable damage to the human body! The power of small Scorpio to shoot crossbows can’t be underestimated. Although the strength is not enough to run through many people, the inclined falling angle can make sharp crossbows pierce people’s heads like broken watermelons and then sink into the abdomen of the latter person, and the loading speed is faster. Small Scorpio brings killing and catching up with a wave of archery rain, especially in deterrence!
However, the barbarian’s reaction was rapid, and only three volley shots were completed. Archers in aleman, located on the two wings, took fire cover. The only difference was that alemanni had more than one archer. The disparity in numbers made alemanni’s counter-arrow rain not approaching, which was already shocking. Nearly ten thousand arrows fell from the top of the head, and the words were as brave as Roman soldiers. The first wave of arrows fell in horror. Many Roman soldiers were stunned and did not know where to dodge into human targets. Ten thousand arrows fell from the city head with a miserable cry.
At the same time, the covering design also made Roman archers in a difficult situation. They did not wear solid Segmonta ring armor like heavy infantry, but a shirt to protect their bust. The simple chain armor could not resist the penetration of arrows, but alemanni staggered to shoot arrows and rain, which made them very embarrassed. They had to hide in the companion shield and fight back. Soon, the arrows and rain on the Roman side were sparse. Although the actual killing of siege troops did not weaken, the small potential was completely suppressed by alemanni’s crazy pouring of arrows and rain.
"Buzz! ~ ~ ~ "Once again, the familiar buzz in the clouds overhead looks up like thousands of locusts crossing the border, and a thick’ dark cloud’ seems to be overwhelming the wall cover.
"damn it! Covered shooting again! ! ！” Behind the wall, the Roman soldiers swore angrily, but they quickly curled up again and hid behind the shield to resist the sharp arrows like pouring rain.
In the dull collision of the rushing shield, the wall of Stoyatum was like an extra thick red bright cover in an instant, which covered most of the city heads tightly. At the same time, the baptism of arrows and rain came at the right time, and the arrows fell from the height and covered every inch of the wall without leaving any gap!
Tinkling ~ ~ ~ Arrows wedged into shields, city walls or bounced and landed with all kinds of sounds or crispness, such as jumping notes or dullness, such as beating leather city walls, just like playing a symphony with rich tones. However, this kind of continuous sound was simply unbearable to the ears of Roman soldiers. After the rain of arrows, the soldiers vented their anger, roaring and making all kinds of threatening and insulting gestures towards the city of alemanni while cutting off the shields with short swords and inserting shafts.
"All Scorpio ballista keep continuous launch! Give priority to suppressing enemy archers! " At this time, a centurion quickly squeezed through the crowded crowd in the city wall. Every time he passed a tower where Scorpio was placed, he would send the same order to the earth. The loss of archers and archers’ volley brought morale bonus to Roman generals. The situation in front of him could be maintained by relying on the crossbow to deter alemanni. Scorpio, with a thick wooden baffle, kept the efficiency of terrorist killing despite the harassment of arrows and rain!
"whew!" Screaming like a tearing gas, a crossbow shot out of the pop-up chute and extended along the direction of the aiming star. Looking at it, it can be clearly seen that the crossbow crossed a distance of about 1 meter. Poof disappeared into a certain position, waving an axe and roaring wildly towards the city. aleman’s elite soldier’s right eye socket was mixed with flesh and blood, and his broken eyes gushed out like crushed eggshells and yolks. alemanni gave a long howl, shaking his body and kneeling down in pain, and finally fell to the ground convulsively.
At this time, another crossbow arrow has been loaded and waiting for launch.
"Good man! Give these bastards more hard! Keep firing rate. Soldiers and generals are watching! " Passing by here, the centurion happened to see the scene just now, and he punched the scorpion soldier’s chest with excitement and cheered, "Let those damn alemanni shut their stinking mouths forever!"
"No problem, sir. I’ll show those ugly savages Scorpio!" Manipulating the Scorpio soldier looked confident, raised his arm, and then pulled the trigger to see that he was shaking and tearing again. The crossbow whizzed across dozens of meters in a blink of an eye, running through a alemanni’s neck with a bloody line and sinking. After that, a man’s chest was beautiful, killing two birds with one stone!
"Ho ho!" Excellent being killed immediately attracted all around to raise the shield, and the comrades cheered together, and the young soldiers blushed excitedly! The centurion raised his thumb and smiled, then turned and ran to a shooting position.
With the siege army approaching step by step, the situation is getting more and more fierce. Through the gap in the shield wall, Oka is feeling that the ancient war was bloody and the situation was tragic. The deadly arrows of both sides shuttled through the high school and collided closely. All kinds of noises filled the ears, and it was so common to send a definite instruction to a little farther away.
However, it is obvious that the losses of both sides are disproportionate. According to Oka’s visual observation, the fighting lasted for almost 2 minutes, and the Roman legions on the defensive side lost less than 100 people. Most of them were accidentally injured by flying arrows, and the injured people would not exceed this figure. At the cost of alemanni, it has been said that more than 1000 people have been killed by three waves of arrows, and the Scorpio attack is even more sharp and abnormal. It is enough to put more than three scorpions on the front wall alone when the enemy enters the range. Skilled crossbowmen fired 56 rounds, that is, the number of spears and crossbows is about 16. Unlike arrows, they emphasize coverage and kill crossbows. They are all precision shots, and with the well-trained crossbowmen crossbows, the hit rate is less than 5%. The crowd in such a dense city has killed nearly 2 people according to the average of 1 arrow killing 2 people!
In just 2 minutes, alemanni has lost 35 points of the whole army! Even Orca, who has gone through several killings and his heart is as hard as iron, can’t help but feel sad for those poor alemanni. At this rate of war damage, if alemanni wants to attack Stoyatum, it will cost his life! Of course, if alemanni is not enough to fill in, then pull again and give up the original plan because you can’t resist the temptation to capture the Roman emperor, and come to the German allied soldiers to fill in.
“Romanballisa! Fire! ! !” Just then, Orca suddenly heard the city screaming! Deliberately prolonging the tone is because this tone should be specially used to issue military orders. However, when Orca slowly understood the meaning of the password and showed surprise, boom! ! ! A series of rumblings sounded like thunder exploding. Orca suddenly turned around and saw a dozen flaming fireballs rising from the direction of the city’s trebuchet troops, dragging the thick black smoke tail to fly outside the city!
"It really is a single-arm torsion trebuchet, the real city defense killer of the Roman army!" Orca looked at the scene that can only be seen in epic movies in previous lives and murmured.
Boom! Boom! Boom! More than a dozen fireballs woven by grass stones outside filled with lard and other kindling materials directly flew over 4 yards and fell like meteorites from the sky at the front of aleman’s army. Dozens of unlucky alemanni were directly smashed, and the whole body split into flesh and blood, and the strong impact disappeared. Instantly, the fireball was torn into pieces and scattered with Mars! In late autumn, when the sky is dry and the ground is dry, dense weeds grow on the ground, which suddenly becomes an excellent thing to fuel the fire. A little spark falls into the grass and explodes with a bang, and in an instant it becomes a prairie fire! Spread inexorably!
Caught off guard, aleman’s army immediately came to howl, and the ferocious flame spread rapidly along the growing weeds. In just a blink of an eye, it turned out that more than a dozen smoking stones had hit the landing site and had become a fire belt across the Roman wall in alemanni! The fire raged. More than a dozen ladders rushed in front of them, together with the ladder-lifting ladder, alemanni was instantly swallowed up by flames, and nearly a hundred soldiers who didn’t hide from aleman recently were hit by splashing flames and suddenly turned into human fireballs running around, screaming and screaming. Finally, they fell to the ground and their bodies were slowly burned into coke.
One after another, heavy blows made fanatical and belligerent alemanni soberly realize that Rome does not despise! The city of Stoyatum has been littered with the ground, and nearly a thousand dead and miserable bodies have finally defeated these barbarians. Their courage was originally allowed to plunder and kill at will after the war, and their morale suddenly fell to the bottom.
Section 29 Aristocracy
"alemanni retreated! ! ！”
Aleman’s army finally gave up the attack unwillingly and fearfully after falling into a short period of chaos. The tattered siege equipment was quickly withdrawn from the battlefield like ebb water, and then retreated into the forest. The smoke has not been exhausted yet, and the bodies everywhere are telling the cruelty of war.
When the last alemanni figure disappeared into the Woods, the Stoyatum wall finally came, which had been suppressed for a long time. The soldiers excitedly threw shields, danced daggers and hugged each other to express their joy at victory. Although it was a tentative attack, alemanni’s fiasco still made every Roman soldier who besieged Iraq feel worried and uneasy, and their defensive morale was greatly encouraged.
Just as the soldiers in Chengtou were celebrating the victory of the first battle, Oka had quietly rushed to the commander’s tent after telling Darryl to pay attention to the alert.
"salute!"
Oka nodded slightly and then took off his helmet in the respectful eyes of the guards and strode from lifting the curtain to enter the account.
"The card! I am looking forward to your assessment of alemanni’s combat effectiveness! " As soon as he stepped into the tent, he heard a serious and dignified voice coming to Orca. He looked up and saw General Bilius in the middle of the tent looking at himself as a bunch of generals.
"Thank you for waiting so long, General Pavilion." Oka immediately went ahead with a military salute.
"You stay aside first, and I have some orders to reach later." Although we have a personal relationship with each other and even the emperor is so complicated, General Bilius didn’t show too much kindness to himself as a young centurion in front of everyone. He nodded slightly and said, then turned around and continued to discuss things with several generals nervously.
It’s natural for Oka to be unaware of the general’s attitude. Although the interpersonal relationship in the army is not as intertwined as in officialdom, it can’t be explained in one sentence or two. It will be counterproductive to show too much affection for Oka or publicize the emperor’s favor in a high-profile way, which is not conducive to Oka’s foothold in the army. He is familiar with these old generals who have spent decades in the military career.
Sooka calmly stepped aside as a dutiful guard, and looked at the generals who stayed in Stoyatum from the corner of his eye. There were three Eagle Flag Legions and four auxiliary legions. The three Eagle Flag Legions were from the seventh German Legion Claudia, the ninth Legion Hespena and the thirteenth Legion of Oka. Among the four auxiliary regiments, one was from the Gaul Cavalry Auxiliary Corps and the other was from the Iberian Heavy Javelin Auxiliary Corps. An auxiliary corps of archers and archers from Crete and an auxiliary corps of siege auxiliary corps from Thessaloniki are not in the sequence of imperial regular corps, so there will be no fixed title. Generally, they were assigned to their regiments in large-scale wars and then re-numbered in Rome. These four auxiliary regiments are now the first I II III IV auxiliary regiments of Stoyatum regiment.
At the moment, beside General Bilius are various corps commander, some of whom Oka has met before, such as the ninth corps commander D Annous? A member of Aeus is in the prime of life. He is not tall, but he is as strong as an ox. He has a stiff beard and is so energetic that he can hardly walk like the wind. For example, Hong Zhong has a straightforward personality and is different from General Bilius. General Aeus is a civilian and has been promoted to the head of the army. He can be regarded as a fierce soldier by virtue of his exploits, loyalty and qualifications. He is a relatively inferior soldier in talent.
On the left side of Bilius, the young general, who is no more than 3 years old, has blond hair, fair skin, thin lips and slender eyes, giving people a sense of gloom, but his face is always smiling as warm as the spring breeze. He is the seventh corps commander named Marcus? Hornos? Anquilla
This is the first time that Orca felt after seeing him. This is definitely a special case in the Roman army. The young head of the army made Orca have a completely opposite feeling of General Aeus. He seemed to be covered in a vague film, so that people could know his hidden heart.
