Roman Slave Owner - Chapter 378

“The teaching method cannot control my head.”

Apius Purker said.

“I said yes, it’s okay, and the teaching method is also the law.”

Li Wei said with a sneer.

It didn’t take long for him to be crowned the Pope, and after the victory of this battle, he was extremely vigorous.

Even if he used the Civic Assembly to kill Apius in the name of blasphemy, it was nothing.

Appius was silent for a while, and finally said: “Well then, I promise not to spy on the secrets of God-given weapons.”

One carriage after another left the warehouse. They didn’t carry many shells. In fact, Li Wei didn’t think they could throw many shells. He didn’t believe that the enemy would dare to withstand the explosion of hundreds of catties of black powder.

After the carriages that pulled the tin bombs left, some carriages came to pull the grenades.

Some guards have been waiting for a long time, and some of them carry bamboo baskets one after another, waiting for the grenades to be pulled out and prepare to put these in the bamboo baskets.

“These are god-given weapons?”

Apius asked.

“Yes it is.”

Li Wei said, “They will shock everyone.”

Apius’ expression was sullen, and he didn’t expect that there were more than one kind of God-given weapons.

Not far away, Anius brought some bishops and priests to pray devoutly, and their expressions were very fanatical.

Today will be the day of God’s birth!

It will be the day when the holy religion defeats the alien race!

The true God will eventually spread His brilliance throughout the world.

Li Wei walked up the city wall, and the enemy cavalry could already be seen outside.

***

In the wilderness outside the city of Nepo, an old Germanic woman prayed devoutly.

She took out a clay pot that was placed on the ground and shook it gently. Three wooden sticks were placed in the clay pot, making a rustling sound as the pot shook.

Nesua, Burton and others stood by her side carefully so as not to affect her divination.

In this ancient age, both Romans and Germans liked divination before the war.

If the hexagram is evil, they will often stop fighting, but sometimes the general will understand the result of violating the divination.

There was a time in history that Luskus led a war. The fortune-teller told him that today was a fierce day, because the Battle of Cannae in history happened on that day. During that battle, Hannibal defeated the Roman Legion. Killed more than 10 Roman soldiers, a consul, and more than 80 senators.

But Luskus told him that he would turn that day into a Roman auspicious day, and then he led the troops out and returned in a big victory. Later, his words were also widely recited.

When Caesar fought with the Aludites among the Germans, he found that the Germans did not fight.

The reason was that an old woman told the Germans that it was not suitable to go to war that day, and Caesar used this to defeat the Germans.

The old woman looked up at the sky, took out a wooden stick with her hand, and put it in it after looking at it, after three consecutive times.

“How is the result of divination?”

Nesua asked.

The old woman priest thought for a while, and then said, “It is not suitable to go to war today.”

“How is this possible? We have a million army, can’t we still defeat the enemy?”

Nesua said with an incredulous expression.

“You should maintain respect for the gods.”

The old woman said dissatisfiedly.

“I’m very sorry.”

Nesua said quickly, he realized that he had made a mistake.

The more backward the race, the higher the status of the priest, and the Germans are no exception, even if they are Wufa, they need to maintain respect for them.

“What should we do? Sit and watch the Gaul attack the enemy camp and capture Li Wei alive?”

Burton said.

“Of course not.”

Nesua rolled his eyes and said, “We can try other methods of divination.”

After speaking, he led everyone to a white horse pulling a chariot.

The Germans would raise some white horses for the gods in the jungle. These white horses did not do any work, but only used for divination.

The priest is regarded as the servant of the gods, and the white horse is regarded as the messenger of the gods. Obviously, the status of the white horse far exceeds that of the priest.

The Germans believe that there is no more accurate method of divination than listening to the snort and neigh of a white horse.

Nesua patted the white horse lightly, then held its head and listened to his neigh.

“The messenger of the gods told me that I can play today.”

Nesua said with a smile.

Burton and the generals coughed slightly, then looked at the others.

The old woman has a bad face, this guy is too bastard.

“It’s your turn, honorable priest.”

Nesua said with a smile on her face.

The old woman snorted coldly, walked to the white horse and closed her eyes, while the white horse snorted lightly.

“You can play.”

The old woman said coldly.

“Oh, Valkyrie bless you.”

“…”

The crowd cheered.

Nesua waved his arms excitedly. He walked up to the Germanic warriors and told them the news.

The German warriors cheered and sang the ancient and vague song of Hercules.

Nasua and Burton also joined them, their singing voices loud and loud, showing a strong desire to fight.

Then Nesua led the roar of various kinds, which was a pre-war test of the Germans, and at the same time predicted the outcome of the war based on the roar.

If the roars are uniform, then the morale is high enough to deter the enemy.

If the roar is messy, then the morale is low and the battle is likely to fail.

The 400,000 Germanic roars were extremely shocking.

I think that this battle is bound to win, and all those Germanic voices are loud and happy.

It attracted the attention of the surrounding Gauls, and then kept scolding the Germanic barbarians for being insane.

After all sorts of farce, Nasua and Burton finally started to attack Li Wei’s barracks from two directions.

Some of the Germanic people rode war horses and others walked, slowly approaching the army according to their tribes and relatives.

At the same time, a large number of Gauls also launched an attack on the barracks.

From the wall of the barracks, there are boundless enemy troops everywhere.

“A million army!”

Appius Purker sighed and said.

Li Wei snorted coldly, “Even if it is a million army, under the mighty power of the true god, it’s nothing but a chicken and wagul.”

Both Anius and Lycias looked at Li Wei with enthusiastic expressions, what they said just now was really good.

Apius Purker had a complicated look, and if the true **** had such power, it would be terrible.

After watching the defenses of the Romans, Nesua showed a smile on his face.

After continuous renovation, the walls of the barracks became thicker and thicker, and a layer of brick walls were added to the outside and inside.

The city wall not only provided shelter for them, but also part of the area was widened and ballistas were installed.

The Roman ballista can not only fire large crossbow arrows, but also can fire stone bullets. Being able to fire stone bullets also means being able to fire artillery bullets.

It was just that the number of guards was insufficient, and Levy did not let them operate the ballistas, so these ballistas were fired by conventional weapons.

However, the defense measures outside the wall are extremely simple, just two trenches, one under the wall and the other 50 steps outside the wall. There are a lot of spikes in the trench.

“Their trench is too wide, I’m afraid they need to be filled in.”

Burton said.

Not to mention the Germans, even the Gauls don’t have many siege tools.

The Germans are very good at field battles, but they are not good at siege. It is good to be able to think of filling the trenches.

“You’re right, after filling the trench, we can use soil to build a **** under the enemy’s city wall so that our warriors can go up.”

Nesua said.

The two discussed, and finally discussed several methods of attack.

The wall of the enemy barracks is too short, no more than five meters, plus the trenches under the walls are no more than eight meters, this kind of barracks is very easy to break.

So Nesua immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare, and immediately launched an offensive after preparation.

Looking over the city wall, the mountains and plains are full of Germanic people wearing animal skins.

Someone was holding a shield, a javelin, and a short spear.

This kind of short spear is called a Flare spear, which can be thrown in short distance or from a distance.

In addition, each infantryman will be equipped with some javelins, which are used for throwing.

Some Germans came here carrying baskets of mud.

They were getting closer and closer to the first trench. After seeing that the distance was almost the same, Li Wei finally gave the order to release the arrow.

All of a sudden the arrows rained down, and various arrows were thrown or directed at the Germanic people.

At that time, the Germans immediately raised their shields to block those arrows.

In fact, the bow and arrow do not do much damage to them, but as long as the ballista hits, it will definitely kill them with one arrow.

Crossbow arrows as thick as a javelin can easily pass through their shields and corpses, leaving a terrible blood hole.

50 steps is a very clever distance, which is within the range of the arrows, but outside the range of those javelins.

The Germans can only silently endure the enemy’s attacks, one after another Germans are injured or killed, but they are not afraid of the gritty.

The Germans who were backing the soil accelerated their speed and dumped frames of soil into the trenches.

There is no shortage of archers in the Roman army, such as the Cretan archers.

After discovering that there was little harm to the Germans who held the shields, they set their sights on the Germans who were holding back the soil.

At the moment when soil was poured into the trench, they would break away from the shield and expose their bodies.

They seized this moment and started shooting arrows, one after another, the arrows traversed arcs, and then pierced their skins as if they had eyes, and then hit their bodies.

Some Germans screamed and fell into the trench, and then were pierced by the spikes in the trench, and some resisted their injuries and retreated.

Those Germans were silently suffering from various injuries, and kept pouring baskets of soil into the trenches, which were being filled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Doesn’t the guards need to attack?”

Lycias said worriedly.

“No, wait until they fill up the trench.”

Li Wei shook his head and said.

The trench got higher and higher, and slowly all the spikes were buried.

Some Germans roared and jumped in before the trench was completely filled, and then crawled out of the trench.

The Germans who carried the soil also jumped down. They poured all the soil together, and then formed small slopes.

All the Germanic warriors rushed towards the wall through this slope. They had already had enough of the Romans’ attack. They wanted to let the Romans know how powerful their great Germanic warriors were.

After rushing to a distance of thirty yards, the two sides threw javelins, stones and various weapons at each other almost at the same time.

The rainy javelin shot at the wall and the Germans at the same time.

“Be careful, Lord Prophet.”

Lycias said anxiously.

He took Li Wei and squatted down quickly, relying on the protection of the brick wall to resist the javelin shooting.

A large number of javelins fell behind Li Wei, and then on the wall, making various sounds.

The Germans charged forward regardless of life and death, and some even rushed to the wall. They slapped their chests and roared with various beasts, looking extremely ferocious.

“Don’t attack yet?”

Lu Yongas said bitterly.

“hold on.”

Li Wei glanced at him and said that there were still too few Germans in front of him.

More and more Germans crossed the first trench, and a large number of javelins kept shooting at the wall. They even suppressed the ability to fight back on the wall.

Looking from the city wall, you can see that the mountains below are full of Germanic people.

Nesua laughed arrogantly: “Have you seen it? This is the strength of our Germans.”

“emission!”

Li Wei said decisively ~www.mtlnovel.com~ After receiving Li Wei’s order, a bugler next to him blew the bugle with a unique rhythm, and the sound of the bugle was spread in all directions.

Hearing the sound of the bugle, the guards next to the trebuchet immediately lit the fuse, and one of the guards swung the percussion hammer severely and slammed it down.

“boom!”

Iron bombs weighing 150 kilograms crossed arcs and then flew into the sky.

They crossed the city wall, and finally landed heavily at a distance of about 100 Roman steps from the city wall.

In that area, Li Weiming people placed a lot of pebbles.

Some iron bombs slammed heavily on the Germans, directly smashing them to death, and then rolling back all the way.

The bomb bounced on the cobblestone floor from time to time, and then fell on the ground. I don’t know how many people were killed all the way, scaring the Germans to dodge.

The tin bombs finally stopped, and some Germans felt extremely grateful.

They know that this weapon has a huge attack interval, which is enough for them to rush under the enemy’s wall.

Is there a strange smell in the air?

Just when many Germans were weird, those tin bombs suddenly exploded.

“boom!”

“boom!”

“boom!”

“boom!”

“…”

The bombs filled with 100 kilograms of black powder exploded hugely, and then the pebbles in the bomb and on the ground flew to the surrounding at supersonic speed.

The Germans nearby were directly bombed into the sky and boarded the earliest Turkish plane.

More Germans were thrown away by the terrifying air wave. Those little stones easily penetrated a shield and body, knocking them to the ground.
