Chapter 143: Exit to the Sea

This time, Oonos transferred the siege artillery of the Anaxaxos legion as well. The 7th Regiment concentrated eighteen stone crossbows, six squadrons of infantry archers, three squadrons of javelinmen.

With the rumbling of artillery, the city of Samara-Briva burst into flames, and the walls were completely breached. The defenders and militia inside were killed and wounded, and the ghosts cried and howled.

Oonos insisted on finishing all the stone and fire bullets he carried, and poured out the fire of revenge on the enemy.

When the siege artillery stopped firing, the general deliberately let all the javelinmen rush to the edge of the city, and the archers lined up in a half-crescent shape at the right range, and were not allowed to fire their arrows until the last archer was on his feet.

When the Britons saw the movement of troops outside and stopped the long-range attack, they boldly returned to the edge of the city to block the entrance, trying to resist the enemy's entry into the city. Standing closer, someone realized that the situation was wrong, but they were already within the range of the bow troops.

"Put!"

The dense arrows seemed to weave a black curtain, arcing through the air, shooting many British soldiers.

The javelinmen signaled the archers to release their arrows, and they all threw javelins into the wooden walls.

"Rustle"

The wounds inflicted by the javelin were larger and more deadly.

In this way, the Seventh Legion exhausted all the bows and ammunition it carried, and then prepared to enter the city. The British defenders and the mob had already suffered heavy casualties and their confidence had been greatly reduced.

The first siege echelon sent by the Seventh Army was composed of three Macedonian royal phalanxes and three regular Macedonian phalanxes, and it was clear that Oonos was ready to break the city with one blow. These are the core forces of the legionnaires' infantry, and they have never met an opponent, whether they are in a row of guns or in close combat.

The soldiers and civilians of Britain knew that there was no way back, so they became brave and fearless, fighting desperately.

The siege vanguard of Macedonia is the elite of the elite, not only under the personal supervision of the general Oonos, but its actual combat effectiveness is really ferocious, which can only be described as terrifying.

The infantry frantically entered the city, lined up the phalanx so tightly that no matter how brave the British warriors were, they could not break through the Macedonian phalanx. It can only be poured under rows of shiny gun heads. The British chariot had no effect on the front of the spear, only to die.

In this way, the Macedonian Seventh Legion, under the double crush of morale and military strength, slaughtered the British warrior regiment and the mob in the city. He also captured alive the commander-in-chief of the British Samurai Order, Gerint Dyer. It was he who ordered the slaughter and presentation of the dozens of Macedonian soldiers.

The Macedonian army recaptured the city of Samarabriva and consolidated Belgian territory.

Oonos had Jerint torn apart and then slaughtered Samarobriva. Only women and children remained. In Western Europe, the multi-day rebellion finally touched the bottom line of Oonos's patience, and he wanted to warn all barbarians not to provoke him in this way. At the same time, I also want to comfort the siege soldiers who died here a few days ago, as well as the dozens of loyal defenders.

Samarabriva was a large city with a large population, and eventually the Macedonian army reduced two-thirds of the population to the area.

Since its rise, the Macedonian army has captured countless cities and towns, and rarely slaughtered and sacked captured cities. Therefore, the news of the slaughter of the city is very shocking. King Aloyos did not say anything when he found out, he understood the temper of his second uncle.

Podare Rios was also very calm, and his princess Athena was taken aback when she heard this, and said with a little cry:

"Oh my God, look at your family, they're all executioners. You are cruel and cold-blooded! ”

Podare Rios sounded uncomfortable, but at this time his beloved concubine was finally pregnant with their family's blood, and he had to obey his wife.

Still, he countered:

"The people of my family are tough, but what a heavy responsibility they have on their shoulders, and the kingdom is their honor and a curse on their backs.

Sometimes they have to go against human nature. ”

"Why?"

"Why! Think of your family, your uncles who died in the chaos. And you almost died on the way to Macedonia.

It's all because your country isn't strong enough. So your family is being treated like a weakling by others!

Athena, you're kind, and I happen to like your kindness. It's just my business, so don't worry about it. Didn't you ask, Samaro Briva?

They deserve it. Who will our thousands of Macedonian soldiers turn to justice? And what about the dozens of dedicated soldiers? And how to comfort their heroic spirits. ”

"Ahh You... You...

"Don't be angry, my bad. Well, my uncle Oonos's brutal decision is also my fault. I admit it, Your Highness the Princess. Please don't be angry.

Who has our children matters. I want a prince, please. ”

"That's pretty much it. Ah, it's a prince and a princess, I've done it. ”

"You must give me a son, and he will be the guarantee of my throne."

"Look at you again, ignore you."

"Huh."

Podare Rios is still happy in his heart, and he will soon have an heir. Aloyos would therefore not hesitate to pass the throne to him, rather than considering it to his younger brother Sith, who had a son. He also had to thank his wife, Athena.

So the fact that there is no briefing from the front that he wants to have a son is important. We need to make plans for the future, and we still need to work hard in the present. He thought that recently another batch of new warships was about to be launched into the sea.

Oonos, who is far away in Western Europe, is also worried about the fleet. Although Samaro Briva has been recaptured, the Britons will not often invade the coastal areas from the sea in the future. Simply cross the sea and completely destroy the enemy's nest. But this has a new problem.

Vikings were very powerful, especially the Norse warships were capable of fighting at sea, and often cruised the waters around the island of Great Britain. Now they seemed to have made some kind of agreement with the Britons, cutting off the waterways across the English Channel. Coupled with the fleet of the Britons, it was difficult for Oonos to cross the sea and conquer Great Britain.

To add insult to injury, there were no ports at all along the northern coast of Gaul and Germania. Not to mention naval ships, there were not enough transports to carry the Macedonian regiment. Not to mention the waterways were littered with British and rebel warships. It seems that the only way out is to fly through the strait.

Oonos found it so difficult, and he remembered that when he parted with his brother, he said that it was so easy to wait for the opportunity to cross the sea and conquer Britain. Give up, as soon as the main force leaves, the Britons will make a comeback and fight back to the mainland. The British army is still strong, and the chariots are very breakthrough. It is a constant threat to the security of the interior of Western Europe.

There must be an outlet to the sea, and with a port there is a navy.
