For the next two weeks, the soldiers were busy in the enclosed camp day and night, building the siege equipment needed by the commander, and not moving too much, for fear of disturbing the Vandal scouts, who had not yet been discovered.

In order to ensure that the army was sufficiently concealed, Luga even asked a hundred-man team to cook on a stove, so that although it was difficult and the soldiers were constantly complaining and mourning, this was Luga's order, and this order accompanied the army for three whole months. The soldiers often expressed their displeasure in front of Luga's tent because they had to wait in line for dinner, but Luga's answer was basically the words, "If you want immortal glory, resist the small setbacks of the moment." ”

The soldiers and even the junior officers were unaware of any form of change in the outside world in this closed barracks, but although Luga was in the barracks, he knew all about the outside world through the scouts. Of course, he also knew that Gaisaric was frightened by Malenius' swaggering entrance to the city, and he decisively determined Luga as soon as he got the news, and the young man who had accidentally become his defeated in the past did not seem to take defeat to heart, but swaggered around Sicily to show off the strength at hand, but this strength did not seem to be much! With such an arrogant and low-minded opponent, Gaisaric couldn't be happier.

He had been a little hesitant to station his army in the small plain area below Mount Etna, but he didn't let go of the arrogance of "Luga" at such an arrogant level, and immediately wanted to take a city for the arrogant "savior" to see, and see how much of his arrogance remained?

Luga's army moved at the same time as Geisarik's army began, but they were three days behind Gaisaric's army, and the huge legions, transporting a large number of siege equipment, rushed towards Trapani, and two more days later, almost at the same time, the Roman legions besieged Trapani, and the Vandals, with the cooperation of the navy, attacked Palermo on both sides.

However, compared to Gaisarik, Luga's preparation was more thorough, Gaisarric's army claimed to be 10,000 people, in fact, there were only six or seven thousand people, but the huge navy had 4,000 people, they stormed the port of Palermo, but Palermo is a large capital-type city after all, and the garrison naturally will not make it so easy for Gaisarik, because he was in a hurry and had no siege equipment, so he had to take materials nearby and cast siege engines outside the city of Palermo.

However, compared to Gaisarik, Luga's progress was very rapid, and on the first day he led his army to the city of Trapani, because it was an excellent opportunity to have many warships out of port early in the morning.

Luga quickly deployed, and soon, siege towers and siege cones appeared one after another in Luga's military formation under the splicing of soldiers.

"God and the gods of Olympus are above, and they will witness our deeds for heaven this time!" On the eve of the attack, Luga once again appeared in front of the army to make a morale-boosting speech. "The Vandals, these illiterate barbarians from the far north, who came to the south of the empire under the curse of the evil gods they believed in and in the mercy of Rome, but they will eventually be beasts, and they will take revenge, take possession of the land of the Romans, slaughter the people of Rome, and at last, they will be punished by heaven! That is me, I am a messenger sent by God, to work with you to eradicate these barbarians, so that the Great Sicily may exist forever in the glory of Christ! ”

"Roar!"

The soldiers flapped their shields and roared, and the screams of the sky shook the entire low walls of Trapani.

"Look at the old and sick left behind by Gaisarik, who are like a flock of hens in our roar, panicked and running aimlessly!" Luga drew his iron sword and pointed it at Trapani, he was right, Trapani was already in disarray, the improvised walls were crowded, they were aimlessly looking for their own combat positions, for them, Luga's army was like falling from the sky.

"Offensive !!"

"Woo-woo-"

With a deafening trumpet, ten siege towers and a huge well-guarded siege cone slowly approached the walls of Trapani.

"Brush, brush, brush..."

The archers of the city began to fight back, and their arrows were shot at the heavy planks of the siege towers, which did not do any damage to them, and certainly could not stop the slow advance of the siege towers like the city walls.

"Cross-shooting! Cross shooting! ”

The Vandals suddenly became wiser, and they immediately shifted the focus of their attack from the siege towers to the soldiers pushing the siege towers, and they cross-fired, raining arrows from all directions, and people falling from arrows, but these newcomers were able to show satisfactory willpower, even though with every step forward someone fell or struggled and wailed, or became a corpse!

"Soldiers in the rear, keep up!"

"Woo, woo......"

At the command of the horn, the soldiers of the first array advanced rapidly, and they followed closely behind the siege tower, with more than a thousand men in front of seven hundred shield-bearing infantry and three hundred archers behind, and they formed a huge tortoiseshell formation and advanced under the walls of Trapani.

In the face of such a large group of infantry that suddenly appeared, the Vandals on the city wall naturally had to take special care of them, but they used their shields to form a huge tortoiseshell formation, and it was naturally difficult for the bows and arrows to shoot through the heavy shields, and the three hundred archers behind the tortoiseshell array still fought back when the Vandals loaded their bows and arrows.

"Bang dang! Bang Dang ......"

Siege towers were docked to the walls of Trapani, and the soldiers began to climb up the ladder behind the siege towers.

In the same way, no matter how much the Vandals resisted, no matter how much they poured their arrows and stones, they were useless against the siege cones, and the Roman soldiers under them pulled the siege cones. The sound of "dangdangdang" shook the gates of Trapani.

There was no city wall, because there was no city wall, so Gaisaric naturally took it easily, but he was not a fool, he knew that he could take it so easily, and the Romans could easily take it back. So he had been building the walls that enveloped Trapani in the same way that the Romans had built them, but it took the Romans an hour to breach them, which took them nearly a year to build.

At the moment when the gates were opened, all the Vandals who tried to resist, both on and under the walls, were drowned in the tide of the Romans.
