Roman Slave Owner - Chapter 379
Although the power of black gunpowder is far inferior to that of smokeless gunpowder, it can’t stand the large amount of Li Wei’s load.
The traditional 155mm grenade has a charge of 6 to 8 kilograms, with a dense killing radius of about 50 meters, and an absolute killing radius of 15 to 20 meters. If you hide in a trench within 10 meters, you will also be damaged by shock waves. Those who are exposed will die nine times within 50 meters.
It is not safe at 50 meters away, the fragments still have enough killing kinetic energy, but the hit probability is reduced.
When the shell touches the ground and explodes, the fragments only lose their killing kinetic energy 80 meters away.
Li Wei’s charge is 100 kilograms. Although not as good as the 155mm howitzer, it is not far off.
The explosion formed large pits, and thick black smoke went straight up into the sky, rising to a height of nearly 100 meters.
With the explosion point as the center, a terrible death zone with a radius of 40 meters was formed, and one Germanic fell to the ground.
Some lost their lives directly, and some were hit by pebbles and pebbles and fell screaming.
Enemies close to half of the football field were swept away, and even forty meters away, there were a large number of Germanic recruits.
Except for the explosion sound from a distance, the entire battlefield seemed to be quiet.
The people on the wall were stunned. They stopped all their movements and stared at the doomsday-like scene in a daze.
The Germans also stopped attacking, and the Germans who were close to the city wall turned their heads mechanically, looking at the black smoke rising from behind and the Germans screaming in a pool of blood.
Nesua, who was still proud just now, didn’t even have time to close his laughing mouth, looking stiffly at everything in front of her.
“what is that?”
Nesua stammered.
Burton was also shocked for a long time and couldn’t recover. He had never thought of such a terrifying weapon in the world.
In front of that kind of weapon, the human body is as fragile as paper.
No matter how powerful the warrior is, it is not an opponent.
In this round alone, there are probably hundreds of Teutonic warriors killed and injured in front of them.
“God…gives a weapon! This…must be a god-given weapon.”
Burton said with a look of horror.
It is impossible for a mortal to possess such a terrifying weapon, which is comparable to natural disasters.
Only a true **** can make such a terrifying weapon.
Nesua nodded with difficulty, and only god-given weapons had such terrible power. He never thought that the Romans would actually take out the god-given weapons.
“No… this is not a god-given weapon. This is witchcraft, terrible witchcraft.”
The old woman priest said in horror.
The two looked at her weirdly, Nasu seemed to have thought of something, and asked eagerly: “Do you have any way to crack this witchcraft?”
For the first time, he felt that he needed the guidance of the priest so much.
The old woman’s face became stiff, and then she shook her head decisively.
“The strength of the Romans is terrible, and I am not an opponent of the Romans.”
The color in Nesua’s eyes dimmed immediately, what can we do?
The enemy has a god-given weapon, how are they opponents?
Above the city wall, Lysias was trembling with excitement.
“Is this the power of God-given weapons?”
Lucias asked.
“Yes, you are still satisfied.”
Li Wei smiled faintly.
“It’s more powerful than I thought.”
Lycias said excitedly.
“This is only the initial stage of the god-given weapon. In the future, it has the ability to destroy the entire world.”
Li Wei said.
Lysias couldn’t help but took a breath, destroying the whole world? This is really terrible!
Old Anius was trembling with excitement. He led a group of bishops and priests to make a cross with his right hand, and murmured, “A miracle! This is a miracle!”
I believe that after this war, they will become true fanatics.
Appius Purker also looked shocked. Is this the power of God-given weapons?
It is terrible!
At this time, the Germans also reacted, and the Germans behind them all backed away in fear, not daring to attack again.
Some of the Germans under the city wall were so frightened that they fell to the ground, and some rolled back and fled.
They are indeed brave fighters, but in the face of such a terrible god-given weapon, it is really difficult for them to muster the courage to fight.
“Order the grenadier to go up to the wall.”
Li Wei said.
After receiving Li Wei’s order, the guards went up to the city wall one after another.
They lit a hand grenade, and then threw it under the city wall.
One by one, the grenade exploded hugely. Although it was not as powerful as the shells thrown by the trebuchet, the momentum was quite astonishing.
Some hesitations caused the Germans to be killed and wounded, and the rest fled back desperately.
This battle can’t be fought!
Seeing that the development of the matter was completely within his own expectations, Li Wei said very decisively, “Open the city gate and order the army to go out of the city to fight.”
Although there are millions of troops outside the city, no one questioned Li Wei’s order. Every one of them thought it was an extremely correct order.
A large number of soldiers swarmed out, and then began to form a team outside the first trench.
They lined up in a neat line, and the difference is that this time the grenadier was lined up in the forefront.
They work in pairs, each holding a shield and carrying a bamboo basket behind their backs.
There is a large number of grenades in the bamboo basket. The other is holding a match string in one hand and a grenade in the other, ready to throw the grenade out at any time.
Seeing these Guards Grenadiers, all the soldiers were full of awe.
These are the people who control the weapons bestowed by God.
Seeing the enemy leaving the city, Nesua was shocked and angry.
The enemy had only 50,000 troops who dared to go out of the city, which did not take them seriously.
“Report to the general that the Romans of Nepo have also left the city.”
At this time, a cavalryman came over and said.
“I know.”
Nesua said with a complex expression, the development of the matter completely exceeded his expectations.
“what should we do?”
Nesua asked Burton.
Although Burton tried his best to remain calm, the panic in his eyes could not be concealed.
“Let’s… retreat.”
Burton said.
“You’re right, we need to withdraw first, and then figure out a way to deal with the enemy’s god… witchcraft. But we need a man and horse to stay to intercept the enemy, or the enemy will chase us side by side. Burton, you are the bravest general among us. Would you like to stay and stop the enemy?”
Nesua said.
Although their forces far surpassed the enemy, he knew he couldn’t win this battle.
When the gods decide to intervene in this war, the outcome of the war is doomed.
Hearing that Burton’s face was green, if it was normal, he would be very happy to accept this kind of task.
But now the soldiers are extremely frightened, coupled with the terrible power of the enemy, to intercept them now is almost the same as sending them to death.
“I… so good.”
Burton said reluctantly, and Nasua said that what else could he do.
“Be careful of the enemy’s witchcraft.”
Said the old woman priest.
Nesua cursed secretly, it was true that which pot was not opened and which pot was lifted.
At this time, he regretted it very much, and he should listen to her from the beginning, and don’t launch an attack today.
Nasua sent his sincere blessings to Burton, and then directly conveyed the order to prepare to withdraw.
As for the Gauls, he did not intend to inform them at all.
It would be better for them to retreat slowly, so as to prevent him from pursuing the Romans.
Burton cursed a few words secretly, and then came to his army.
At this time, those Teutonic warriors who are usually so proud are like children who have lost their mothers, and their eyes are full of fear.
They communicated with each other, and God-given weapons appeared in their mouths from time to time.
After Li Wei’s vigorous propaganda, they also heard of this terrible weapon.
Soon he called several tribal leaders under his command, intending to discuss with them about the interception.
But the tribe leaders just came over and couldn’t wait to ask various questions.
“General, what weapon does the enemy use? Is it a god-given weapon?”
“Is that witchcraft or a god-given weapon?”
“Did the gods really intervene in the war?”
“…”
Looking at these terrified tribal leaders, Burton felt very desperate.
These tribal leaders are the bravest warriors in the tribe. They have hunted down the most powerful beasts and killed countless powerful enemies, but facing this incomprehensible thing, their eyes only have fear and anxiety.
“Well, General Nesua has given us a task. Let us block the enemy and block the pursuit for the large army to retreat.”
“I don’t know what the enemy is using? Maybe it’s a god-given weapon, maybe it’s witchcraft. But I believe you are the bravest Teutonic warriors. You must be able to defend the enemy and cover the main force’s retreat.”
Burton said.
Hearing this, the tribe leaders were in an uproar.
They sent 400,000 Germans and 600,000 Gauls. They did not expect to withdraw their troops so soon.
But when they thought of the enemy’s terrible weapon, they felt that there was nothing wrong with this decision.
“Then how should we deal with the enemy’s weapons? Even metal armors and shields are useless. Should we use our flesh and blood to pile it up?”
A tribal leader asked.
“Yes, many brave warriors of our tribe have died. They are the most brave Teutonic warriors, but they were blown to death by the enemy’s weapons without touching the enemy.”
Another tribal leader said in fear.
“Don’t tell me this. I now order you to gather your warriors to intercept the enemy. Even if you use flesh and blood to block, you must block the enemy.”
Burton said very strongly.
The tribal leaders looked at each other, but in the end they could only agree.
Before long, Levy ordered the Roman army to start an offensive.
At this time, the cavalry hadn’t completely come out of the camp, but it didn’t matter. He had to defeat the enemy’s army while the enemy was extremely frightened.
Otherwise, once the enemy recovers, this battle will be difficult to fight.
The melodious bugle sounded, and the endless Roman legion launched an attack on the Teutonics.
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
“…”
Seeing this, the Teutonics once again turned on the roar mode, trying to predict the victory or defeat of this battle.
But this time their roars were scattered and weak and uncoordinated at all.
This made many Teutonic people extremely frightened, could it be that they were about to lose again this time.
Thinking of someone here, their legs are shaking, their eyes are distracted, and they have even begun to find a way out.
It’s not that they are not brave, but that their enemies are terrible.
Burton looked up at the sky silently, and he had no confidence in this battle.
The Roman army was getting closer and closer to them, and the front guards stepped on the drummer’s drums and approached them in neat steps.
“Charge! Charge me all!”
Burton shouted.
After receiving his order, those Teutonic cavalry gradually began to charge!
The Teutonic charge in the past was very famous, but I don’t know why, today’s Teutonic charge seems to lack a kind of indomitable momentum.
The cavalry didn’t let out a weird roar, they just slapped their horse forward.
When the bugle sounded, the Roman army immediately stopped advancing.
Crossbowmen, archers, and slingers are becoming more and more popular.
Due to the huge distance between the Guards Grenadiers, they almost stood in a row with the Grenadiers, slightly behind them.
At this moment, a centurion whistled.
The grenadiers immediately lit the fuse and threw the grenade fiercely.
Since their fuze is very long, it is necessary to calculate a lead.
Seeing that the Romans threw out a strange thing, it made the cavalry who charged feel a tingling scalp~www.mtlnovel.com~ Is this a god-given weapon of the enemy, or is it a terrible magic weapon at all? .
But they can only continue to charge, and the cavalry cannot stop at will once they charge.
“Let’s release the arrow!”
A centurion gave the order to release the arrow.
The crossbowmen immediately aimed at the cavalry and started shooting arrows, one by one hitting the horse.
Although some horses were hit, they were still charging forward from too far away. Only a few horses fell down, and then they rolled forward with the horses.
“boom!”
“boom!”
“boom!”
“…”
At this moment, a hand grenade suddenly exploded, and a large number of fragments and pebbles flew in all directions.
Some horses were hit by stones and immediately neighed in fear, and some fell.
The horses at the rear directly stunned people to stand up, no matter how the cavalry urged them, they stopped moving forward.
Some horses were spinning around restlessly, while others fled directly back.
This explosion directly blasted the courage of the Teutonics. At that time, many people just heard the terrifying loud noise from far behind and saw the black smoke rushing into the sky.
Now seeing the terrible explosion, the Teutonics stopped charging.
“witchcraft.”
“God bestows weapons.”
“It’s terrible.”
‘…’
Their gazes were horrified, their legs trembled, but they refused to move forward anymore.
Seeing this, Li Wei decisively ordered the army to move forward, watching the grenadiers with terrible weapons, many Teutonics stepped back.
They are not afraid to fight humans, but the enemy uses witchcraft.
That terrible explosion sound is not something that humans can make, it is definitely a terrible witchcraft.
