Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 393 The Battle of the Rhine

Hearing this, Wu Fa's face became embarrassed.

As the saying goes, villains die from talking too much, so Levi decided not to talk to Wu Fa.

"Now pay for your decision, give it to me."

Levi said, then stepped back.

Saverio and the others immediately rushed towards Wulfa with a large number of guards, and Bellius also ordered his cavalry to join them.

Wu Fa's expression changed drastically. He was talking nicely just now, but why did he suddenly come to kill him?

"Levi, I am negotiating with you now, how can you do this?"

Wulfa said angrily.

Li Wei retreated and said: "Since you want to negotiate, go to my military camp to negotiate. I will do my best to welcome you."

"asshole!"

Wu Fa fought with the Guards. He actually broke through the siege of the Guards, and then rushed towards Li Wei on horseback.

Seeing this, Levi quickly stepped back.

Wu Fa is a champion gladiator, he will not fight Wu Fa head-on.

Due to the obstruction of other cavalry, Wu Fa could only sit back and watch Li Wei escape further and further away.

Wu Fa felt a pang of regret, damn, he was too impulsive.

If I could endure it for a while, I might be able to keep him here, but now there is no chance at all.

After returning to the military camp, it didn't take long for Levi to get a piece of news.

A large number of Speybee's cavalry rushed out of the camp from other directions and almost surrounded him.

Saverio and the others fought their way out of the encirclement and lost many people.

This made him almost yell, Wufa, you treacherous villain, I really misjudged you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, I must make him look good tomorrow.

The next morning, the sun rose in the east and the sky was just getting dark.

After the Roman soldiers finished eating, they filed out of the camp.

Then they formed a neat team and walked slowly towards the camp of the Sibebi tribe.

Under Livy's command, they surrounded the enemy's camp to the north and east, leaving only the south.

He still understood the principle of surrounding three and missing one, but he left a large number of ambushes in the south.

If the enemy really escapes from the south, they will suffer very heavy losses.

The army slowly approached the enemy camp. When they saw this, the Germans walked up the earth wall and had no intention of leaving the city.

"They really planned to defend."

Levi said.

"Then let them know how powerful we are."

Lysias said.

"Today you come to command the army to the east. Just remember to contain them."

Levi said.

"As commanded, Your Majesty."

Lysias was overjoyed. He knew that Li Wei wanted to cultivate him, but he actually let him stand alone.

Levi nodded, and then the bugle sounded, and a large number of crossbowmen, archers and grenadiers moved forward until they reached the trench and stopped.

There are three trenches in front of the Speybee camp, which are basically similar to those laid out by Levi.

They looked at the soldiers on the enemy's earth wall with vigilance, and then a large number of soldiers came forward. Some filled the trenches with soil, while others dug large holes to dig emplacements for the trebuchets.

Due to insufficient range, the Speybi soldiers on the city wall could not threaten the Roman soldiers at all, so they could only stare.

"Brother, are you just going to watch them fill the trenches? Once their trebuchets are installed, we won't be able to stop their shells."

Cimberius said.

Worried about the war, he asked others to live in a small sedan and carry him here.

"Don't worry, I will think about it myself."

Wufa said.

He understood the great harm caused by the enemy's trebuchets. It could be said that once the trebuchets were built, their city walls would be useless.

But he knew he couldn't attack at will, he already had his own plan.

"Okay then."

Cimberius said.

So they sat back and watched as the Romans filled in the trenches. After filling in the trenches, the Roman soldiers continued to move forward and stopped 50 meters in front of the enemy camp.

A famous crossbowman and a Cretan archer began to fire arrows at the city wall. A steady stream of arrows fell on the city wall, so that the Spebians on the wall could not lift their heads.

This made the Sbebes extremely annoyed, because their range still could not threaten the enemy, so they could only bear the enemy's attacks silently.

Seeing that the effect was ineffective, the arrow rain became sparse, and they began to conserve their own energy. Only when someone showed their head would they shoot an arrow.

At this time, what surprised Wulfa was that they did not continue to move forward. Some Roman soldiers began to dig a tunnel in front of them. They vigorously waved the chisel axes in their hands and quickly dug a pit as deep as one person, and then Through this pit, we dug at an angle toward the enemy's camp.

"What are they going to do?"

Qimberius asked.

Wu Fa also had a puzzled look on his face. Levi would always make some strange moves that made people completely confused. Only afterwards would you suddenly realize.

"I don't know, but we can't be careless."

Wu Fa said with a serious face.

The Roman soldiers who were digging the resistance kept taking turns, maintaining the speed of digging holes, and soon dug the holes in front of the trenches.

"No, they're going to take the tunnel!"

Cimberius thought he understood what Livy was thinking.

Wu Fa also nodded slightly. Maybe this was a new siege method that Li Wei had come up with.

Taking into account the special situation of the Sbebe people, the furthest distance between the second trench and the earth wall was only about 28 meters, which was completely within the range of their javelin.

Wufa knew that they could not hesitate any longer, so he shouted: "Throw javelins to attack! Don't let the enemy enter the trench!"

After receiving Wufa's order, the Sibebi soldiers immediately showed their heads, preparing to throw javelins at the engineers.

At this time, the crossbowmen and archers also started shooting immediately, and a large number of arrows were fired at the Spebees who exposed their heads and upper bodies.

Arrows rained like locusts, and some Sibebi soldiers were caught off guard and were hit by arrows.

However, there were also some people who shot at the Roman soldiers in the tunnels. Unfortunately, these tunnels were slanted tunnels. The enemies in the front could not shoot at all. They were all blocked by the earthen walls. Only the inclined tunnels could.

But the slope meant a long distance, and they paid great attention to using the earth walls to avoid the enemy's javelins. The pits dug at this time were also very deep, so there were basically no casualties.

They quickly opened up the road to the trench. The trench dug by the Sbebes was about three meters deep, but they only needed to jump one meter, so they picked up their shields and jumped into the trench one after another.

He quickly pulled out the spikes one after another, and then rushed to the trench close to the city wall.

Some javelins fell behind them and could not hurt them at all.

At this time, they took advantage of every opportunity to pull out the spikes, and quickly removed a large number of spikes.

At this time, more Roman soldiers rushed into the trench along the inclined tunnel with chisel axes. Then they continued to dig the tunnel and filled the excavated soil into the trench, as if they had built small compartments. Same.

Wu Fa still looked puzzled. Could this be the enemy's purpose?

"Grenadiers enter the tunnel!"

At this time, a centurion said.

After receiving the order, the grenadiers immediately entered the tunnel carrying baskets of grenades, and then rushed into the trench through the tunnel.

They entered the cubicle, lit grenades, and threw them against the wall.

Grenades were thrown at the city wall one after another, and the fuses were burning. The faces of the Sbebi people changed drastically, and then they ran away frantically in all directions.

"No! Get out of the way!"

"The enemy's god-given weapon is here!"

"..."

Even Wu Fa was no exception. He knew how powerful these weapons were and jumped off the earth wall.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"..."

On top of the earth wall and even behind the earth wall, the grenades exploded one after another.

A large number of shrapnel and lead pellets flew in all directions, killing countless Sbebe people who had been hiding for a while.

Those grenadiers knew that the opportunity was rare and threw grenades desperately at the city wall.

Explosions came one after another, and soon a death storm was set off on and below the city wall.

A large number of soldiers were killed, and some were even blown off the earth wall. Even the trenches under the earth wall were filled up with the soil from the bombing.

After a long time, the explosions stopped.

Wu Fa's face was livid. Looking at the screaming crowds and lifeless corpses on the earthen walls and below, he felt like a sunken dog.

So this is Levi's purpose?

In this way, his losses must have been extremely heavy, with at least thousands of casualties.

What Li Wei used was the tactic of Li Yunlong approaching the enemy through tunnels and throwing a large number of grenades in the later "Bright Sword". This tactic was also used many times in the process of attacking bastions in the West and is considered a very classic tactic.

At this moment, Wu Fa's expression suddenly changed.

He looked around and didn't see that familiar figure.

"Brother! Where are you?"

Wufa said loudly.

"Brother, I..."

At this moment, a corpse covered in blood struggled under the city wall not far away.

Wufa rushed over quickly, looked at Qinberius who was blown up and hugged his body tightly, "Brother, you must not have anything happen to him. Take him down to see a doctor!" "

Several soldiers rushed over and carried him down.

asshole!

Wu Fa suppressed the grief and anger in his heart. He knew that this was not the time to worry about this matter.

He looked at the city wall. After hesitating for a while, he ordered some soldiers to board the city wall, but there were not many of them. Those soldiers told him that the enemy had officially begun to fill the trenches with all their strength.

They poured large amounts of soil into the trenches and quickly filled up one area after another.

Wu Fa looked hesitant. He originally thought that his biggest enemy was the trebuchet, but he didn't expect that just a few small grenades caused him to lose the city wall, which completely disrupted his plan.

"Your Majesty, the enemy's trebuchet is almost ready."

At this time, a soldier on the city wall said.

"I see."

Wufa said.

This sentence completely stopped his thoughts of sending people to the wall. At this time, sending people to die would definitely be no match for those trebuchets.

So he sent a small number of people to harass, and then ordered the entire army to be on alert, preparing to launch a counterattack against the enemies who invaded the camp.

Li Wei was very surprised to see Wu Fa abandon the city wall directly, but it was a pity that he missed the opportunity to use the trebuchet to kill a large number of enemies.

So he ordered the soldiers to speed up filling the trenches. The Roman soldiers pushed vehicles filled with soil one after another directly into the trenches, so fast that they reached the extreme speed.

Soon one trench after another was filled in, and then small slopes of soil were filled in under the city wall.

As soon as some people climbed to the top of the city, they discovered a large number of Sibebi soldiers waiting behind the city wall.

Seeing this, Wu Fa showed a cold smile on his face.

"Give me the order to defend from the north and attack from the east!"

Wufa said loudly.

He had already observed that the north should be the enemy's main attack direction, and the enemy was quite strong in that direction.

So he decided to break through from the east and decided to take the opportunity to bite Li Wei hard.

After receiving Wu Fa's order, a large number of soldiers immediately rushed to the east city wall. Javelins like rain flew into the sky, then crossed the city wall and fell hard.

This caused terrible casualties to the Roman soldiers who were still working on the hill. The Sbebe warriors rushed forward desperately, quickly climbed onto the city wall, and then fought with the Roman soldiers.

The Roman soldiers were caught off guard and were quickly driven off the city wall by the Speybee soldiers.

Those Speybee soldiers took the opportunity to attack forward, and the Speybee soldiers in front of them were about to attack the second trench.

Lysias couldn't help but be anxious, how could he be defeated by the enemy?

"Order the trebuchets to drop bombs! The craftsmen, grenadiers, crossbowmen and archers fall back! The Roman legions come forward!"

Lysias said decisively.

A bugle sounded and military flags were waved.

After receiving the order, the grenadiers, crossbowmen, archers and craftsmen in front retreated like a tide.

The Roman legions in the rear quickly stepped forward, crossed the line of defense of the trebuchets, and continued to rush forward.

The slingers threw the cannonballs from the trebuchets decisively.

The shells streaked across the sky, flew over the city wall, and then landed in the military camp.

In order to achieve the greatest effect, the Spebians maintained the densest formation. In fact, this formation achieved great results and directly drove the Romans off the city wall.

This also caused the shells to kill an unknown number of people, and then crushed them all the way, killing one Sbebe man after another.

"No!"

Seeing these rolling shells, the Sbebe people said in horror.

They knew how powerful these shells were, and their lethality could only be described as terrifying.

So I ran away desperately, but there were too many people around and there was no place to escape.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"..."

Those shells exploded quickly, sending black clouds of smoke straight into the sky.

A large number of stones and debris flew everywhere like a goddess scattering flowers.

"ah!"

"ah!"

"ah!"

"..."

There was a burst of screams all around, and no one knew how many soldiers were killed alive.

The soldiers around the shells were even blown to pieces, forming a no-man's land that was as large as half a football field.

A large number of soldiers fell in a pool of blood and wailed.

The people behind were so frightened that they did not dare to attack for a while.

Wu Fa felt as if his heart had been tugged hard, and he almost fainted.

He couldn't imagine how many people had been killed by this attack. Could it be five thousand?

He felt that his heart was going to hurt to death.
