Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 315: Fortress Offense and Defense (Continued)

80 meters...70 meters...60 meters...the closer to the wooden wall, the stronger the attack, the number of slaves is getting less and less, and most of them have been lying on the grass as stepping stones.

Fear of death caused several slaves to suddenly throw away the sacks, struggling to run forward.Sharp stakes, meat hooks... their legs were bloody and bloody, and they screamed, but they wouldn’t stop their faltering steps: "Ah!...Ah!...I...I am Greek People!...I'm Greek!!..."

The heartbreaking cry made the soldiers on the wall stunned, and they all looked at Zpitt with pleading eyes.

Seeing this scene, Zpitt also hesitated.

At that moment, a dozen Bruty warriors received orders from the leader, rushed out of the array, stepped on sacks on the ground, and threw javelins at the slaves who were blocked by Luzhai and unable to move forward.

The screams before the death of the Greek slave made Cipit make a decision, and he roared loudly: "Continue to shoot arrows!"

Countless arrows with sorrow and anger continued to fall... Finally, almost all the few remaining slaves and Brutus were swept away.

Although these slaves were almost naked and unprotected, two thousand people were killed and wounded in the trap area within a short period of time, and even the trench in front of the wooden wall did not arrive, letting the leaders of the Bruti people suck Sighed.

"Lord Chief Pianlun, look..." Bergam looked at Pianlun hesitantly.

"Send other tribal warriors to continue to fill the trap, and we are about to go down the city!" Pi Anlun, with a grudge, was cold and firm in his tone. He had reached this point, and he would try the strength of the enemy anyway, Never retreat easily.

Thousands of Bruty warriors in pairs, holding a shield in one hand and a sack in one hand, began to advance towards the city wall in a very loose formation.

Cipett hoped that the enemy's advance speed would be slower, so that his soldiers' numb arms would have more time to recover.

"Arrow!" He waved his arm again.

The Bruty warriors obviously have more combat experience than the slaves. When they saw the arrows covering the sky, they immediately stopped advancing, squatted down, shrunk into a ball, and shielded the whole body with shields. The arrows hit down like raindrops. For a while, "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!..." The screams of the soldiers were significantly smaller than before.But when they advanced to more than 30 meters from the city wall, the deer wall barriers set here kept them in place, and there were not only archers and javelinmen on the wooden wall, but also the javelins and arrows poured down and clothed. The casualties of the Ruti fighters soared, and they retreated.

"Big leader!" Even Petaru couldn't help it.

"Attack again!" Pi Anlun ordered with a hard heart: "Elder Petaru, you lead 4000 soldiers to attack the northern wall! Elder Burgam, you attack the south! Elder Nikulu, you take people to the middle of this Way! Don’t worry, follow the previous plan, clear the obstacles on the road, fill the trenches, and then start the siege..."

The soldiers on the wooden wall cheered the defeat of the Bruti, but it didn't take long for the enemy's attack to come again.This time, they were divided into small groups of dozens of people, densely grouped together, with wooden shields as large as door panels on the front.

The road that extends from the city gate is the only one without traps, it is the passage reserved by the Third Army.At this time, some Bruty soldiers pushed a wooden cart, loaded with sacks full of soil, and forced them to the city gate.

Experienced Zpitt knows that when the enemy's protection is tight, blindly shooting arrows will only waste arrows and consume physical strength, but the effect is not great.Therefore, he forbids the soldiers from shooting, and waits for the enemy to leave the big wooden shield before shooting again.

But the wooden car in the middle of the road was always the focus of the Dionysian light infantry attack. The hundred-meter distance made the Bruty fighters of the cart lie all the way, but Nikuru’s angry roar urged the frightened Bruty fighters. Then, the servants moved forward and finally reached the trench with difficulty, preparing to dump the sacks piled up on the wooden cart like hills into the trench.

"Oil can!" cried Piet without any haste, and a dozen stone troopers lifted the olive oil cans temporarily collected from the city of Bisinia, throwing stones like usual, struggling to throw them accurately. In the wooden car in front of the trench, the pottery pot was broken and the oil splashed, which soon turned the wooden car into an oil car.

"Rocket!" Cipet shot a rocket himself while ordering.

As soon as the five or six rockets hit the wooden car, it quickly ignited the flames, and also affected the several Bruty soldiers in the cart. They were all on fire and rolled in panic.

"Fool! Hurry! Push it down! Push the car down!!!" Nikulu looked at the situation urgently, roared, threw the shield, risked being shot, pushed away the hesitant soldier in front, and strode forward Going up, ignoring the burning flames, holding the handlebars with both hands, pushing forward as hard as possible.

Under his inspiration, the Bruty warriors rushed beside him.

The wooden car was burning, and the javelins and arrows were concentrated.

Under the leadership of Nikulu, the Bruty soldiers desperately pushed carts and only heard the sound of "Boom". The whole wooden cart overturned in the trench, and the sack inside filled the three-meter deep and three-meter wide trench. Half full, crushing the crooked spikes in the ditch, the Bruty warrior could step on the sack in the ditch and walk across the ditch in just one big step.

When the soldiers were fortunate to succeed, Nikulu already had two javelins in the pool of blood...

Nikuru is dead!Upon hearing this news, Pi Anlun couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart. Although his relationship with Nikulu was only normal, but his lips were cold...

At this time, after paying a considerable price, the Bruty soldiers had approached the trench and began to throw sacks inside.

Pi Anlun finally gave the order: "All the siege!"

Ten thousand soldiers were divided into two front and rear dials, carrying a long ladder, carrying a beating wood, and began to approach the city wall.

Just as the Brutians blew the offensive horn, the Dionysians also blew the trumpet, and the soldiers of the first and second brigades began to go to the city.

Taking advantage of the timing of the Dionysian soldiers changing their guards in the city, the Bruty soldiers stepped on the body of their companions and had burst into the trench. The soldiers of the Third Army immediately threw a heavy javelin rain. The soldier mentioned fell directly into the ditch...

The Bruty soldier who reached the wooden wall looked up and secretly complained.It was originally built by the Dionysians.Numerous pointed woods protrude out from the bottom of the wooden wall stacking mouth, making it impossible for the long ladder to directly lean on the stacking gate. Even if the soldiers climb to the top of the long ladder, there is a short distance from the wooden wall, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of siege.

The Bruty warrior had just been distracted, and a stone fell vertically, hitting his head.

"Good job!" Kreru slammed the Bisinian fighters who made meritorious service, shouting loudly: "Clan people, kill me fiercely, don't let a Cosenza go back alive!"

The battle was fierce. Dionysian and Bisinian soldiers threw javelins, stoned them, speared with long spears, pushed with forks, chopped with sabers... and tried their best to stop the Brutes from attacking the city.

In addition to using long ladder ants to attack the city, the Bruti also used shovel to hit the city.A group of more than a dozen soldiers holding huge logs, under the cover of Bruti javelin, not only hit the city gate, they also hit the wooden wall.Because Pianlun they think that although the Dionysian built the wooden wall in such a short time, it cannot be very strong.

This is indeed the case.The wooden wall built by the Dionysian soldiers is a double-layered wooden fence, filled with mud removed in the trench, and then covered with wooden planks to build a walkway on the wall.However, due to time constraints, the soil in the middle has not been completely tamped, and the wooden fence has not been carefully strengthened.

After discovering the enemy's attempt, Drakos had to divide some of his troops and concentrate on attacking these "defying" fighters who lacked protection.

However, Pi Anlun is not the only two siege methods.

"Captain, look at the fire!" The soldier reminded Adrians loudly. He was looking down. He saw a flame ignited at the bottom of a wooden wall, and a few Bruty soldiers were carrying one. The pot is pouring oil on the wall, and the fire is growing.

"Quick shot to kill that man!" Adrians commanded the soldiers to throw a javelin, but also shouted anxiously: "Hurry down the sand! Hurry down!..."

Due to the rush of time and the lack of materials for combat preparation, the wooden wall has not been fireproofed, for example: painting.Fortunately, when discussing with the captains how to defend the fortress, Dracos considered this issue, and placed a bag full of soil on the wooden wall walkway.

The fire was finally extinguished, but Adriax's expression was still serious. He reminded the team officers and soldiers one by one to pay close attention to any enemies carrying clay pots and oil bags under the city, and make every effort not to let them close to the wooden wall.

………………………

The siege battle was bloody and cruel. Every time he saw the long ladder being pushed down, the soldiers fell from the head of the city, which caused Pi Anlun to be heartbroken. However, as the commander of the whole army, he had to always pay attention to the progress of the war. He moved forward again and again, only to see clearly, and finally walked to the edge of the trap area.

Perhaps it was the corpses of the place that made the crotch war horse uneasy. It snorts and keeps digging the ground with the front hooves.

Pianlun really did not expect that the Dionysians not only built a relatively complete fortress defense system in only three days, but also the soldiers' experience and strength in defending the city were not weak.

Seeing the Bruti warriors struggling and moaning under the wall, Pi Allen's confidence gradually weakened...

Compared with the wooden wall in the northern section, which is tightly defended, cooperated with, and banned, the southern section, which is under the responsibility of the Bissinian fighters, began due to the inconsistency of the command, the weak combat effectiveness of the personnel, and the lack of fighting spirit. A Bruty warrior turned over the city.
