Chapter 589: On the Battlefield
"Click......"
The Huns' trebuchets began to roar, which meant that another round of their attack was about to begin.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! …”
Clay pots full of fire oil exploded in the middle of the Roman army, and the soldiers knew what it was all about! By the time they found out that they had fire oil on their bodies, they knew that if they were to be here, they would really be loyal to Rome!
"Attila! Attila! Attila! ”
At this moment, for some reason, the barbarian coalition actually raised the weapons in their hands and shouted Attila's name loudly, as if the name would give them strength.
"Oh, warriors!" At this time, I saw only a few Hun cavalrymen holding fire oil and horses in their formation, and they were wearing heavy armor, so thick that they could not see their faces clearly. They were seen raising their fire pots and shouting loudly, speaking a language that only they savages could understand. The barbarians were as excited as they had seen Valhalla's god of war themselves.
Over and over again, the barbarian soldiers shouted, "Attila! Attila! And kept retreating, making way for the Hun cavalry behind.
"Oops!" The Roman soldiers exclaimed in exclamation, and they all looked down at the oil mixed with blood under their feet.
"They're here to die! They're here to die! The Roman officers shouted loudly and reminded the soldiers around them, "Javelins, take out the javelins and knock them down!" ”
The officers were all panicked, how could the soldiers be calm, everyone had experienced the baptism of fire oil, and they knew what it meant for these guys to rush up.
The barbarians continued to retreat, leaving a very wide road for the Hun cavalry, and they would eventually live up to their expectations and ride their horses forward with fire oil in their arms.
"Shoot them down! Shoot them down! The panicked officers shouted loudly, and the soldiers drew their javelins tremblingly, and they were so flustered that they could not aim at the oncoming Hun cavalry.
"Attila! Attila! ”
The Hun cavalry shouted Attila's name as if it were the best proof of their determination to die. They kicked their horses in the belly, and the horses were frightened and accelerated and rushed forward.
"Shoot them! Shoot them and knock them off the horse! ”
Under the order, the soldiers finally threw the javelins in their hands tremblingly, I don't know if it was the strength of the Huns' armor or the soldiers' lack of strength because of nervousness, most of the javelins actually seemed to be equally weak, and they flew to the Huns and were all bounced off in an instant.
"Attila! Attila! ”
Seeing that one of their armor easily flicked away the javelin that was thrown, it made these Hun cavalrymen feel like they were helped, and they roared angrily and accelerated their speed towards the Roman army!
"Click!"
With a loud bang, the Roman soldiers only saw a black shadow flash overhead, and in one fell swoop, it pierced the Hun cavalry that rushed to the front. The Hun cavalryman fell from his horse without even a scream, and incidentally, the clay pot he was holding in his hand smashed into the hard stone, and in an instant his whole body was engulfed in flames.
The sudden explosion really surprised the war horses that followed closely, and they only heard the neighing of the war horses and kept raising their two front hooves. Trying to restrain the rider on his back, the Hun cavalry in the rear instantly lost the arrogant appearance they had just hauled, and instead panicked, and tried with all their might to regain control of the horse.
The smell of burnt fire murmured among the soldiers on both sides, and the barbarians stopped shouting, and everyone stared at the out-of-control horses struggling.
Soon, the Hun cavalry was unable to move because of the heavy clay pot and the same heavy armor, and finally they could not support the war horse that wanted to break free, and could not support it to fall off the horse.
"Bang Bang!"
The jars in their hands were shattered one after another, and the burning strips of cloth on them were not extinguished, and the result was conceivable, and the flames that rose up in an instant devoured them. They could only be seen screaming and struggling in the flames, but the fire was dead and would not be extinguished because of how miserable their screams were, so they were reduced to ashes by the flames in front of everyone's eyes.
The Huns' ships finally came within range of the archers' bows, but they could not stop before they were struck with even more ferocious blows. I saw a stone bullet in the sky cut through an arc and landed straight on the warship.
"Cave Pass!"
The ship was smashed into a large hole, and in an instant the sea rushed in, and the ship sank into the sea at a speed visible to both eyes. The other warships behind were all scarred, and seeing such a lesson from the past, they all needed to think about what their next step should be.
"I feel like I'm going to tremble uncomfortably, Luga, do you feel that way?" Andrew asked Luga, who had just let go of the handle of the scorpion, and said with a smile: "This flame reminds me of the time on the banks of the Rhine, when Anthony tried to burn us, thanks to you, my friend, otherwise I would have been like them, dragging a scarred body to struggle in the flames." Until now, when I see this flame, I feel a burning pain in my back! ”
"The past is hard to look back on, Andrew, old man!" Lu Jia wiped the beads of sweat from his palms with his cloak, and said unhurriedly: "I haven't forgotten that I let my family trample on the ground in order to save you, and if I want to have a chance to see him again, I will not peel him off his bones!" ”
"Something? Why didn't you tell me? ”
"It's good that you're alive, oh my God, look at me, it's far away again!" Luga patted his head and walked downward, Andrew following him closely.
"Today we really had a hard bone to gnaw, you saw that, Andrew."
"Yes, Luga, I have a hunch that if we can win this one, then we will be great heroes in all of Rome."
"Heroes? Ha, I only hope that the nobles of Athens will forget about my robbery of them, regardless of their past suspicions, and I know that they still have a lot of goods. Luga said as he drew the Dragon's Breath Sword that slung to his waist.
"The Commander is here! The Commander is here! ”
The soldiers in front of Luga turned around, and they saw Luga hurriedly give way, and everyone watched Luga come from the rear to the front of the formation. The soldiers turned their eyes to him, after all, it was not a small matter for the commander to be able to lead the way.
"Andrew." Luga called softly, raising his sword and quietly looking at his own face reflected in the steel, "I hope you can follow me closely, protect me, and do your duty as a captain of the guard." ”
"As you wish, Luga." Andrew said, drawing his iron sword with a "brush", and his hands clenched the hilt of the sword.
"Well done, soldiers!" Luga looked around at the silent warriors who were staring at him, "I have gathered you here to witness a great moment, when the true henchmen of the Roman Empire, and their ugly minions, are about to fall under our righteous sword!" So now, don't hesitate, don't be afraid, take up your weapons and let us show them how good we are! ”
"Whew! Call! Call! ”
The soldiers cheered, showing a very different attitude from the barbarian coalition in front of them, and it was obvious that they were frightened by the fire.
"Soldiers! Advance! ”
Luga raised his arms to meet the excitement of the soldiers when all the trumpets sounded in the army's formation, and they regained their strength, thinking that the Hun coalition had launched a counter-charge.
