"Trebuchet! Load! Load! ”

Before Luga reached his own army, his soldiers were already preparing for war in a step-by-step manner.

The huge "palms" of the twenty trebuchets were slowly pulled down together, and the busy soldiers carried the stones onto the trebuchets and coated them with fire oil and made them burn with torches.

"Launch! Launch! ”

"Knock knock ......"

Twenty fiery flying stones were violently ejected into the air, dragging long plumes of smoke behind the walls of Augusta-Travia.

The Bagunda rebels seemed unmoved, although there was a mess behind the walls, and the screams of women could be heard clearly outside the city. The civilians in the city are scattering in all directions, aimless, and have no idea where to flee.

"Luga." Andrew stopped Luga and said to him, "The civilians who attack the city like this will suffer huge casualties." ”

"I'm just going to make the city a mess!" Luga said disdainfully, "Only then will the movement of their army be seriously delayed by the congestion of the headless townspeople, so that we can seize the opportunity to storm the city." ”

"Infantry! Onward, onward! ”

The infantry armed with the ladder began to set out, and they adopted a new and extremely dangerous siege method, which was that on the contact between the ladder and the city wall sat three or four death squads, equipped with the heaviest armor of the two legions under Luga. Because it is very likely that there will be no return to the battle, Luga will give them the best food on the way to eat, even Luga himself cannot enjoy it. For this time, Luga also did his best, taking into account all aspects, all for the siege of the city.

More than twenty ladders, lifted by the soldiers, were erected on the walls of Augusta-Treville.

The heavily armed death squad soldiers grasped the ladder in their left hand and their daggers in their right, their heavy armor protecting them from their shields.

The moment the ladder docked with the city wall, the soldiers of the death squad encountered arrows like raindrops in all directions, but the arrows fell on the heavy plate armor of the soldiers of the death squad and were bounced off or stuck in the layers of chain mail, even the best armor could not protect the absolute safety of the soldiers of the death squad, there will always be a few unlucky ghosts who exposed their weaknesses and were pierced by the arrows and fell down from the ladder. However, the other death squad soldiers leaped to their feet and jumped up the chaotic walls, falling into the crowd to overwhelm several Bagunda rebels who did not dodge.

The walls of Augusta-Traville were not very tall, only seven meters high, and such a height was indeed a strong fortress for the barbarians who had no means of siege, but the stone walls were so vulnerable to the Romans who had the means to siege the city.

Every stone that hits the wall shakes violently, but the trebuchet is not able to throw larger and more powerful stones, so the stone can only shake the wall but cannot seriously injure it.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

With earth-shattering footsteps, the walls of Augusta-Treville were like a, instantly hit by the surging floods, and the Bagauda rebels were still resisting stubbornly, they lifted the stones that had been prepared and dropped them from under the walls, and the dozens of death squad soldiers were invulnerable for a while with their heavy armor. Wielding the short swords in their hands, they felt like no one was in the crowd, surrounded by soldiers with wooden bows that were completely powerless. The most important thing is that this is not the most terrifying, because there is a steady stream of soldiers climbing the walls on the ladder behind the death squad to join the battle.

"Break the door! Broke! ”

Dozens of ballistas were aimed at the wooden gates of Augusta-Treville.

"Click......"

There was a volley, and the stone eggs that flew out smashed the wooden gate to pieces in an instant.

"Bang dang!"

The entire city gate was smashed, wood chips were scattered all over the ground, and the inside of the city gate was full of corpses, all of them were killed and injured by the stone eggs that pierced the wooden gate, and many people were still struggling and writhing in the broken corpses and pools of blood, it seemed that all this was irreversible.

"Rush in! Rush in! ”

Led by the centurion, teams of centurions rushed into the chaos of Augusta Treville with iron swords in their hands. The streets below the city walls roared and collided with the Bagunda rebels who stepped forward to stop them.

"It's going so well, Luga!" Watching the situation drift toward the Romans, Andrew pointed to the city and smiled at Luga, "At this rate, we can have dinner at Augusta-Treville before dark." ”

"I hope so!" Luga took a deep breath, and at the same time secretly thought in his heart that he hoped so, because the attacking force was less than a thousand people, so it could make the Bagunda rebels in the city so difficult and even difficult to parry, so what about their people? This question came to Luga's mind, and he couldn't help but ask, where did they go when the five thousand people were spared, could it be that they focused on defending the southern part of the city and ignored the northern part of the city?

As the minutes passed, both on and off the walls, the resistance of the Bagouda rebels became weaker and weaker. Many of the rebels were even lifted high and thrown off the walls by the roaring Roman soldiers, and they could only parry the fierce attack of the Roman army, with no power to fight back.

"Luga, what are you waiting for?" Faced with the great situation in front of him, Andrew was already eager to try, and he was eager to seize the tail of victory and join the siege team.

"Second team, forward!"

Seeing that with Luga's permission, the second array of 1,000 people of the Lark Legion trotted all the way under the leadership of the centurions, and they joined the siege team, it stands to reason that they should attack with all their strength now, suppressing all the soldiers, so as to defeat the enemy with absolute superiority, in order to gain control of the city in the fastest time, obviously Luga did not do this, he was obviously waiting, just like moving bricks and tiles to enter the army little by little. I took a wait-and-see stance in the face of the good situation, which Andrew couldn't understand.

"Luga, why haven't you acted yet?" Andrew asked, "Do you know that this will cause very heavy casualties to the attacking army?" We could have avoided this. ”

"Andrew." Luga picked up his rifle and said to him slowly, "Don't you feel that this is going too well? ”

"What do you mean?" Andrew looked at Luga with a puzzled expression, Luga didn't say anything, just bowed his head and nodded to the herald, and then the herald shouted loudly: "Third team, forward!" ”

"Such a fanfare attack would inevitably make the entire city of Bagunda rebels move, but I didn't see how strongly they reacted, no, it must not be like this!" Just then, Lugar said, the soldiers of the third group rushed into the city gates, only to hear the sound of trumpets in the woods around the city.

"Yes, here they are, that's it!"

Hearing this rough horn, Luga couldn't help but smile, and raised his rifle and loudly ordered the soldiers on standby: "Prepare for war!" Prepare for battle! ”
