Roman Slave Owner

"Order the army to strengthen the defense with all its strength. He will not escape without a fight."

Levi said.

They killed so many Germans along the way. If Wufa didn't even fight, then he, the German king, would be done with it.

Facing the dog-steady Levi Wulfa was a headache, and the Anglo and Saxon armies also arrived.

Coupled with the strength of the Teutonic Tribe and some other tribes, his strength now exceeds 300,000.

Faced with the alarming consumption of food every day, he knew he could not wait any longer.

"Give me the order to attack the enemy camp starting tomorrow."

Wu Fa said solemnly.

***

***

The sun was shining brightly, and there was no cloud in the blue sky.

Wulfa sat on his horse and silently looked at the Roman military camp in front of him. Since one side was close to the sea and the other side faced the river, there were only two directions in which he could actually launch an attack, which greatly increased the difficulty of the attack.

Moreover, the trenches outside the military camp became three, located fifty meters away, thirty meters away, and under the city wall.

In addition to these, the walls of the Roman camp took on a very strange shape.

Their city walls are concave inward from time to time, like a rhombus. What is this?

Wu Fa couldn't figure out what this was. Since he couldn't figure it out, let's just attack the city.

However, he still needs to ask the priest before attacking. This is a Germanic custom.

An old priest looked at the sky, and then kept shaking the clay pot in his hand.

After three times, the old priest opened his cloudy eyes.

"The gods told me that the war can begin today."

Hearing this, everyone's faces showed smiles, maybe they will achieve good results today.

Only Wufa was expressionless, as if he had expected this. He said to General Anbuang: "You will attack first this time. Remember, don't attack all-out yet. This time is just a test."

"As you command, Your Majesty."

General Anbuang said.

The Romans had reached the Ambeons' doorstep, and he had no reason not to fight.

After receiving the order, a large number of Ambuan people immediately began to prepare for the attack.

As a rule, they made a strange roar called "Palito" to predict the outcome of the war.

But they found that the roar seemed to be very irregular and a little weak, which made General Anbuang's face look a little ugly. Maybe today was not a good day to attack.

Finally, at Wu Fa's urging, they attacked.

Looking at the German army attacking from a distance, a faint smile appeared on Li Wei's face.

In order to cope with this war, he specially prepared a bastion. The bastion played a very important role in the ancient musket era.

Its essence is to turn the city wall into a concave polygon. Such an improvement will make the attacker exposed to more than one bastion face (usually 2-3) no matter attacking any point of the castle. The defender can use crossover Firepower delivers multiple strikes.

Moreover, some bastions do not like to use bricks and stones, but prefer to use thick soil.

Thick soil can easily absorb the energy of those artillery projectiles,

And make yourself thicker.

On the contrary, masonry is prone to ricochet and other situations, which all led Levi to choose the bastion.

Although Levi does not have muskets now, he does have artillery, grenades, and a large number of crossbows, which can be used to replace some of the muskets.

In addition to the squatting tiger cannon placed on the earth wall, some large pits were also dug behind the earth wall.

All those trebuchets are in those big pits, and the main concern is that there will be a terrible explosion due to operational errors.

After watching the Germans attack, all the Roman soldiers stood ready.

Wu Fa had a serious look on his face. Facing the enemy's god-given weapons, he hoped that the Ambuang people would perform better.

When the enemy entered the range of the trebuchets, the trebuchets did not fire.

Until they advanced another fifty or sixty meters, one soldier after another on the city wall immediately waved a small red flag.

After receiving the signal, the Guards next to the trebuchet immediately swung the firing hammer, and then hit the trebuchet hard.

I saw artillery shells weighing 150 kilograms flying into the sky, and then smashing heavily in the direction of the Germans.

Some Ambuang people were unfortunately hit by shells and crushed to death.

The cannonballs continued to roll forward. Looking at these cannonballs, the Ambuang people fled in fear, because they already knew the power of these cannonballs from the Teutons.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"..."

Those shells made a terrifying explosion, and black smoke clouds rose into the sky.

The Ambuang people near the cannonball were almost blown to pieces, and a large number of small stones flew in all directions like a heavy rain.

These small stones easily penetrated each shield, and then killed the Ambuang people one after another.

Almost every shell cleared the Ambuan people within a radius of about forty meters, creating one terrifying death storm after another.

Even forty meters away, a large number of Ambuang people fell to the ground.

Looking at this apocalyptic scene, all the German generals except Burton were stunned.

They knew that Levi's god-given weapon was very powerful, but they never expected that it would be so powerful.

Wufa clenched his hands until his knuckles turned white. He had seen the power of grenades before and thought they were nothing more than that.

But looking at it now, I still underestimate Levi's god-given weapon.

This is simply terrifying and extremely powerful.

"This is... terrible witchcraft."

The old priest said fearfully.

Seeing that the Anbuang people were about to retreat, Wu Fa said: "Send someone to inform them not to retreat. I want to see how many methods they have to defend the city."

"As you command, Your Majesty."

Soon there was a messenger who took the order and left.

"Bring people from other tribes here to have a look, and get used to the God-given weapons, so that they don't wet their pants in fear when they get on the battlefield."

Wu Fa said coldly.

"clear."

Under Wufa's coercion, the Anbuang people had to continue attacking, but at this time they had no momentum at all, their whole bodies were trembling, and their usual bravery was completely gone.

Burton couldn't help but shook his head. The true God had given the Romans so many outstanding weapons. What were their gods doing?

Is it true, as the Romans said, that there is only one true god in this world?

The Ambuang people resisted a large amount of soil and filled the trench fifty meters outside the city wall.

The Roman army on the city wall immediately fired with ballistae and kept firing arrows.

It was not only the crossbowmen who fired arrows, but also a large number of Cretan archers and Armenian cavalry.

The Armenian cavalry are also good archers. Not only can they shoot arrows on horseback, but they are also very powerful archers on horseback.

A steady stream of arrows fell on the heads of the Ambuang people, and more and more Ambuang people were injured or even died.

General An Buang looked at all this with a heartbroken expression. Although it was just a test, he did not expect so many casualties.

It is estimated that there were no less than 2,000 casualties, and the number of adult men who could join the army was less than 100,000.

At this moment, the artillery on the city wall opened fire.

Each artillery fired nearly a hundred projectiles, and the dense lead pellets shot downward like a heavy rain, and then hit the Ambuang people behind the trench.

"ah!"

"ah!"

"..."

Because it was fired from top to bottom, even some Ambuang people standing behind were hit by lead pellets.

These lead shot easily penetrated shields and animal hides, causing a rain of death among the Ambuang people, and a large number of Ambuang people screamed and fell down.

There was blood everywhere on the ground, and some Ambuang people were wailing on the ground.

The Guardsmen reloaded their ammunition very quickly and prepared for another bombardment.

At this moment, those Ambuan people couldn't stand it anymore.

They fled back in horror, not even caring about the injured.

The Roman soldiers on the city wall cheered, and they used bows and arrows to kill the wounded soldiers one by one.

General Ambuan roared angrily. It was a shame for the Germans to abandon their wounded comrades.

When he ordered some Germans to return to the battlefield and bring down the wounded soldiers, those wounded soldiers were almost dead.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. It was my incompetence this time, and I am willing to accept any punishment. But please give my people some time, they need more time to adapt to the enemy's god-given weapons."

General Anbuang said to Wufa with a guilty look on his face.

Wu Fa still had an expressionless look on his face. It was beyond his expectation that so many people died in just one tentative siege.

"Okay, then, your people don't have to go forward for the time being. General Anglo, your people will launch the attack next. Remember, it's just a test."

Wufa said.

"As you command, Your Majesty."

General Anglo said helplessly.

To be honest, he didn't want to attack the Romans, but what could he do now.

So a large number of Angles appeared on the battlefield and learned the lessons of the Ambuan people. They became much smarter.

As they passed through the artillery blockade, their formation became extremely sparse, and Levi's shells caused much less damage.

But it doesn't matter, as long as it can cause damage to the enemy.

Those artillery pieces were still firing, killing a large number of Anglians who were filling the trenches, but the Anglians were still filling the trenches regardless of life and death.

Levi's face was a little serious, "It seems that the enemy is adapting to our warfare methods."

"What does it matter, they're still going to fail."

Lysias said with a smile.

"We can't be careless. You see that the enemy has only sent out such a small number of troops. It is obviously a test. I think some methods can be hidden."

Levi said, "In addition, we can think of ways to make it more difficult for them."

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

Lysias said.

"I plan to send people to sneak attack the rear of the Teutons and Cimbri in a few days. We cannot let them attack the city with all their strength."

Levi said.

"Use a sea ship to transport people there?"

Lysias's eyes lit up.

"That's right."

"That's a really good idea."

Lysias already remembered the scene of a large number of soldiers killing all sides behind the enemy's rear.

Late at night, the night was as cold as water. Except for a few people on night watch, the military camp was quiet. Wu Fa was covered in linen clothes and could not sleep.

The war has been going on for five days, although Wu Fa looked confident in front of everyone.

But who can know how much pressure he was under.

In the past five days, he and Li Wei had been battling wits and courage, constantly sending people to test Li Wei's god-given weapons.

Although their side suffered a lot of losses, they also gained a lot.

Moreover, he sent German soldiers in turns to adapt to the so-called god-given weapons. At least they were not so afraid of the god-given weapons.

Their courage returned to their bodies again, and Wu Fa felt that this was his biggest gain these days.

As long as his courage was restored, he believed that the Germans were invincible.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.

The next morning, he convened a military meeting with the generals.

"Everyone, after these days of fighting, you must have a very good understanding of the Romans' god-given weapons."

"Although the weapons given by God are very powerful, they are far from invincible. We Germans are the greatest nation in the world because we have extraordinary courage and powerful strength."

"But look at those Romans. They're a bunch of little guys. I could kill a hundred of them by myself."

Wufa said.

Hearing this, the generals burst into laughter.

The Romans were constantly ridiculed for their small stature, not only by the Gauls but also by the Germans.

"We have found some ways to deal with the enemy's God-given weapons. For example, sometimes not having too many people when attacking can greatly reduce our casualties."

"If we really die in the hands of a god-given weapon, I think it is probably because we have done something wrong and offended the gods, causing the gods to no longer protect us."

"But I believe we will win the final victory. Our strength has exceeded 400,000 in the past few days. And what we face is just an earth wall, and that earth wall is only two people high."

"As long as we cross this earth wall, victory will definitely belong to us. Do you know who Levi is in front of you?"

Wufa said.

All the generals nodded, and even the Anglians and Saxons who had just arrived from the distant Baltic Sea were familiar with his deeds.

"The first man in the history of Rome! He conquered half of Rome's territory! The Pope of the Romans! Endless honors are bestowed upon him! But we are only one wall away from defeating him."

"As long as we cross this wall, we can defeat him! The Romans will no longer be our opponents! We Germans will become the kings of the world! The whole world will surrender at our feet! And all we have to do is cross That wall!”

Wu Fa's words made everyone's blood boil with excitement. Yes, as long as they cross that earth wall, they can win and even become the king of the world. What's so difficult about this?

"Do you have the confidence to cross that earth wall that is only two people high?"

Wulfa roared loudly.

"have!"

"have!"

"have!"

"..."

The generals roared angrily.

"Then give it to me now. From now on, we will launch a full-scale attack. We must not stop the attack for a moment."

"We will not give up until we defeat the Romans and capture Livy alive!"

Wufa said excitedly.
