Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 379 Attack

Although the power of black powder is far less than that of smokeless gunpowder, it can't be resisted by Li Wei's large quantity.

The traditional 155mm grenade has a charge of 6 to 8 kilograms, an intensive killing radius of about 50 meters, and an absolute killing radius of 15 to 20 meters. Even if you hide in a trench within 10 meters, you will be hurt by the shock wave. Those who are exposed will have a narrow escape within 50 meters.

It is not safe even beyond 50 meters. The fragments still have enough killing kinetic energy, but the probability of hitting is reduced.

When the artillery shell hits the ground and explodes, the fragments lose their killing kinetic energy only after being 80 meters away.

Levi's charge is 100 kilograms. Although it is not as good as the 155mm howitzer, it is not far behind.

The explosion formed large craters, and thick black smoke shot straight into the sky, rising to a height of nearly a hundred meters.

A terrifying death zone with a radius of forty meters was formed with the explosion point as the center, and the Germans fell to the ground one by one.

Some lost their lives directly, while others were hit by pebbles and pebbles and fell down screaming.

Enemies approaching half the football field were wiped out one by one. Even from forty meters away, a large number of Germans were hit.

For a moment, except for the sound of explosions in the distance, the entire battlefield seemed to be quiet.

The people on the city wall were stunned. They stopped all movements and stared blankly at the apocalyptic scene.

The Germans also stopped attacking. The Germans who were close to the city wall turned their heads mechanically, looking at the rising black smoke and the screaming Germans lying in a pool of blood.

Nasuya, who was so proud just now, didn't even have time to close his laughing mouth, and looked at everything in front of him with a stiff face.

"what is that?"

Nasuya stammered.

Burton was also so shocked that he could not recover for a long time. 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, he is no match.

In this round alone, there were probably hundreds of Teutonic warriors killed or injured in front of them.

"God...gives us weapons! This...must be a god-given weapon."

Burton said with a look of fear on his face.

It is impossible for a mortal to possess such a terrifying weapon, which is comparable to natural disasters.

Only a true god could create such a terrifying weapon.

Nasuya nodded with difficulty. Only God-given weapons could have such terrifying power. He never thought that the Romans actually took out God-given weapons.

"No...this is not a god-given weapon. This is witchcraft, terrible witchcraft."

The old woman priest said fearfully.

The two of them looked at her strangely. Nasu seemed to have thought of something and asked eagerly: "Do you have any way to break this witchcraft?"

For the first time, he felt that he needed the priest's guidance so much.

The old woman's face became stiff, and then she shook her head decisively.

"The strength of the Romans is too terrifying. I am no match for the Romans."

The look in Nasuya's eyes dimmed immediately. What should I do?

If the enemy has a god-given weapon, how can they be an opponent?

On the city wall, Lysias was shaking with excitement.

"Is this the power of a god-given weapon?"

Lysias asked.

"Yes, you are satisfied."

Levi smiled lightly.

"More powerful than I imagined."

Lysias said excitedly.

"This is just the initial stage of the god-given weapon. In the future, it will have the ability to destroy the entire world."

Levi said.

Lysias couldn't help but gasped. Destroy the entire world? This is really terrible!

Old Annius was so excited that he was shaking all over. He led a group of bishops and priests and kept making the sign of the cross with his right hand, murmuring, "A miracle! This is really a miracle!"

I believe that after this war, they will become true fanatics.

Appius Purker also looked shocked. Is this the power of a god-given weapon?

It's really terrible!

At this time, the Germanic people also reacted,

The Germans behind them retreated in fear and did not dare to attack again.

Some of the Germans under the city wall were so frightened that they fell to the ground, while others rolled and crawled back.

They are indeed brave warriors, but facing this terrifying god-given weapon, it is really difficult for them to muster the courage to fight.

"Order the grenadiers to the walls."

Levi said.

After receiving Li Wei's order, the guards climbed onto the city wall one after another.

They lit grenades one by one and threw them towards the bottom of the city wall.

Each grenade exploded hugely. Although it was not as powerful as the shells thrown by the trebuchet, the sound was quite amazing.

Some of the Germans who hesitated were killed and injured, while the rest fled back desperately.

This battle is unwinnable!

Seeing that the development of the matter was completely as expected, Li Wei said very decisively, "Open the city gate and order the army to go out to fight."

Although there were millions of troops outside the city, no one questioned Li Wei's order. Everyone thought it was an extremely correct order.

A large number of soldiers swarmed out and began to form a team outside the first trench.

They formed a neat line, and the difference from before was that this time the grenadiers were placed at the front.

They work in pairs, one holding a shield and carrying a bamboo basket behind his back.

There is a large number of grenades in the bamboo basket, and the other holds a match rope in one hand and a grenade in the other, ready to throw the grenade out at any time.

Looking at these Guards grenadiers, all the soldiers' eyes were filled with awe.

These are the people who control the weapons given by God.

Seeing the enemy leaving the city, Nasuya was frightened and angry.

The enemy dared to leave the city with only 50,000 troops. This was because he did not take them seriously at all.

"Report to the general, the Romans in Nebo have also left the city."

At this time, a cavalryman came over on Pegasus and said,.

"I see."

Nasuya said with a complicated expression, the development of the matter was completely beyond his expectation.

"what should we do?"

Nasuya asked Burton.

Although Burton tried his best to remain calm, he could not hide the panic in his eyes.

"We... better retreat."

Burton said.

"You are right, we need to withdraw first, and then find a way to deal with the enemy's god... witchcraft. But we need a team of people to stay to intercept the enemy, otherwise the enemy will pursue us one-sidedly. Burton, you are the bravest general among us, will you stay and stop the enemy?"

Nasuya said.

Although their troops far outnumbered the enemy, he knew he could not win this battle.

When the gods decided to intervene in this war, the outcome of the war was already determined.

Burton's face turned green when he heard this. Normally, he would be very happy to accept this kind of task.

But now the soldiers are extremely frightened, and the enemy has terrible power. To intercept them now is almost like sending death.

"I... okay then."

Burton said reluctantly, what else could he do after Nasuya said so.

"Be careful of the enemy's witchcraft."

The old woman priest said.

Nasuya cursed secretly, he really didn't want to lift the pot.

At this time, he regretted extremely. He should have listened to her from the beginning and not launched an attack today.

Nasuya sent his sincere blessings to Burton, and then directly conveyed the order to prepare for the withdrawal.

As for the Gauls, he had no intention of informing them.

It would be best if they retreated slowly so that he could hold off the Roman pursuers.

Burton cursed a few words secretly, and then came to his army.

At this time, those Teutonic warriors who were usually extremely proud were like children who had lost their mother, with their eyes 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 about this terrible weapon.

Soon he called several of his tribal leaders and planned to discuss the interception with them.

But as soon as the tribal leaders came over, they couldn't wait to ask all kinds of questions.

"General, what weapon did 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 fearful tribal leaders, Burton felt very desperate.

These tribal leaders are the bravest warriors in the tribe. They have hunted the most powerful beasts and killed countless powerful enemies. However, facing this incomprehensible thing, they only have fear and uneasiness in their eyes.

"Okay, General Nasuya has given us a mission. Let us stop the enemy and block the pursuers for the retreat of the large army."

"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 will definitely be able to defend the enemy and cover the retreat of the main force."

Burton said.

Upon hearing this, the tribal leaders were in an uproar.

The Germans sent 400,000 troops and the Gauls 600,000. They did not expect to withdraw their troops so soon.

But when they thought about the enemy's terrifying weapons, they felt that there was nothing wrong with this decision.

"Then how should we deal with the enemy's weapons? Even metal armor and shields are useless. How can we use our flesh and blood to pile them up?"

asked a tribal leader.

"Yes, many brave warriors from our tribe died. They were all the most heroic Teutonic warriors, but they were killed by the enemy's weapons without even touching them."

Another tribal leader said fearfully.

"Don't tell me this. I am ordering you to gather your warriors to intercept the enemy for me. Even if you use your flesh and blood to block it, you must stop the enemy."

Burton said with unusual force.

The tribal leaders looked at each other and finally agreed.

It didn't take long for Livy to order the Roman army to attack.

At this time, the cavalry has not completely come out of the camp, but it does not matter. He must defeat the enemy's army while the enemy is in great fear.

Otherwise, once the enemy comes to his senses, the battle will be difficult to fight.

The melodious bugle sounded, and the endless Roman legions took the initiative to attack the Teutons.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"..."

Seeing this, the Teutons started roaring mode again, trying to predict the outcome of this battle.

But this time their roars were scattered, weak and uncoordinated.

This made many Teutonic people extremely afraid. Could it be that they were going to be defeated again this time?

Thinking of this, some people's legs were trembling, their eyes were distracted, and they even started to find a way out.

It's not that they are not brave, but their enemies are too terrifying.

Burton looked up at the sky speechlessly. He no longer had any confidence in this battle.

The Roman army was getting closer and closer to them. The front guards stepped on the drums of the waist drummers and approached them with neat steps.

"Charge! Charge everyone!"

Burton shouted.

After receiving his order, the Teutonic cavalry gradually began to charge!

The Teutonic Charge used to be very famous, but for some reason, today's Teutonic Charge seems to lack an indomitable momentum.

The cavalry didn't make any weird roars, they just clapped their horses forward.

The bugle sounded, and the Roman army immediately stopped advancing.

Crossbowmen, archers, and slingers appeared in greater numbers.

Due to the huge distance between the Guards grenadiers, they stood almost in a row with the grenadiers, slightly behind them.

Just then, a centurion whistled.

The grenadiers immediately lit the fuse and threw the grenade violently.

Since their fuses are very long, an advance needs to be calculated.

Seeing those Romans throw a strange thing, which made the charging cavalry feel numb. Could this be the enemy's god-given weapon, or simply a terrible witchcraft.

But they could only continue to charge. Once the cavalry started charging, they could not stop at will.

"Fire the arrow!"

A centurion gave the order to release arrows.

The crossbowmen immediately aimed at the cavalry and started firing arrows, hitting the horses one after another.

Although some war horses were hit, they still charged forward because they were too far away. Only a small number of war horses fell down, and then rolled forward violently with both men and horses.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"..."

At this moment, grenades suddenly exploded, and a large number of fragments and pebbles flew in all directions.

Some war horses were hit by stones and immediately neighed in fear, and some fell down.

The horses at the rear were so startled that they stood up, no matter how much the cavalry urged them to move forward.

Some horses circled uneasily, while others fled directly backwards.

This explosion directly blew away the courage of the Teutonic people. At that time, many people only heard the terrifying loud noise from a distance and saw the black smoke rushing into the sky.

Now seeing the terrible explosion, the Teutons stopped charging.

"witchcraft."

"God-given weapons."

"It's just terrible."

‘…’

Their eyes were horrified, their legs were shaking, but they refused to take a step forward.

Seeing this, Li Wei decisively ordered the army to continue advancing. Looking at the grenadiers holding terrifying weapons, many Teutons retreated step by step.

They are not afraid of fighting humans, but the enemy uses witchcraft.

That terrible explosion was not something a human could make, it was definitely a form of terrible witchcraft.
