"Steady!"

The barbarians rushed closer and closer, and the distance from the city wall was almost less than fifty Roman paces, but Klein still did not give the order to throw javelins, and all the Roman legionnaires now only had the heads of the barbarians densely surging in their eyes, however, what the legionnaires were waiting for, the Germans did not know, they were just charging with frantic footwork, with primitive excitement, three or four infantrymen could carry a ladder, and rush tirelessly to the city with excitement.

"Steady!"

Facing the menacing barbarian army, Crane stood on the wall and yelled again. The spirits of all the Roman legionnaires were in an extremely tight state, they were waiting for the order from the commander, and Crane was waiting for the opportunity to attack. That was the land under the feet of the Germanic peoples.

Immediately, just as the Germanic army was about to rush under the city wall, the earth collapsed in an instant as if pulled by the hands of giants, which was the defense line arranged by the Roman legions in advance, a trap circle more than a man high, completely isolated the city wall of Lugdunum from the outside world.

A large number of barbarian soldiers charged furiously, but they stumbled into this deadly trap, and the sharpened wooden stakes were densely arranged in this trap, and the barbarian infantry who fell into the trap suddenly became blurred in flesh and blood, blood splashed, and the sharpened wooden stakes pierced the body of the barbarian infantry, making a brutal and terrifying sound of tearing the flesh * body, and some Germanic warriors were too late to scream, so they lost their lives, and the entire front of the siege battlefield was suddenly full of dust, and the collapsed ground fell into countless Germanic warriors. And more Germanic people stopped the footwork of the charge in time and stopped at the edge of the trap belt.

From the city walls, the barbarian army was crowded, and dense black dots crowded the edge of this trap trench. At this time, Klein gave the order to throw all the javelins.

For a time, thousands of Roman heavy javelins covered the sky like a sea of black clouds, and sprinkled on the positions of the Germanic people. And the Germanic people, who were densely stationed, undoubtedly became a live target for the Roman legions at this time. The traps and trenches in front blocked the route of their charge, and the barbarian companions who followed behind squeezed up again, causing them to form a crowded situation on the front line......

The Roman heavy javelins pierced into the body of a barbarian infantryman with astonishing speed and power, and some of the heavy javelins were so powerful and fast that they even pierced the body of the barbarian warrior. The bloody scene suddenly filled the Germanic positions, and on the blood-spattered battlefield, the barbarian soldiers either covered their wounds, pulled out their Roman heavy javelins with difficulty, or covered their wounds with both hands, groaning in pain, because by their own strength they could no longer pull out the heavy Roman javelins that pierced the muscles, and even those metal spearheads had broken and embedded in the flesh.

"Free Fire!"

Just as the Germanic casualties were surging, Abyss gave orders from the tower for archers to fire freely. For a moment, arrows from all directions were continuously sprinkled at different angles towards the Germanic people who were carrying their wounded companions outside the city. The legion sappers on the tower also excitedly operated the machinery, turned the trigger, pulled the rope, and launched a round of throwing stones, and the artillery stones carrying huge energy flew in a straight line, directly shattering the heads of the barbarian infantry. Brains and broken bones, blood flew in the sky, and then, the headless corpse staggered to the ground.

However, the battle was not all in favor of the Roman legions, and the Germanic catapults continued to shoot flaming boulders into the walls of Lugdunum, and a large amount of dust and wood chips continued to fall, making people wonder if this seemingly strong wall would collapse in the next second.

However, the barbarian offensive was really stopped by the legion's trenches and traps, although the Germans could bring gravel and branches to bury these traps and trenches, but after all, it took time and labor, and during this period, the Roman javelins and arrows would continue to fall down, and it was obvious that they would have to pay a great price to bury this trench and trap.

“*****”

A frenzied scream came from the center of the barbarian army, and gradually, the Germanic people, who had been angry, began to retreat. Under the fierce long-range blows of the Romans, they had to abandon their dead, wounded companions, like wounded beasts with anger at their hunters, left the land of blood.

After the crowd faded, there was a bloody and brutal scene, with thousands of Germanic corpses scattered outside the grassy city of Lugdunum, and the vast yellow showed a sporadic bright red blood.

"Roman victory!"

The Roman defenders stood on the walls and celebrated loudly. In the first round of offensive and defensive battles, it was clear that Roma won completely. The Germans did not even touch the walls of the city walls, and "fled with their tails between their legs", at least in the eyes of the Roman soldiers defending the city.

"Levi, Flamini, let the soldiers celebrate at night, but be careful to be on duty, the barbarians will not succeed in attacking during the day, and may attack at night, the soldiers defending the city must not drink alcohol, and at least one soldier will be stationed at every thirty paces."

Abiss, on the other hand, walked down the tower calmly and said to a few of his close colleagues who were partying. People saw the increasingly melancholy face of their commander, as if the winter haze was lingering. Because unlike the results that everyone celebrated, Abyss was worried that each victory of the Roman legions gave the Germans a little more experience, and the Roman army, with one less weapon against the barbarians, must have figured out a solution to the trench trap the next time the Germans attacked the city again. Breakthrough after breakthrough, and in the end, when a large number of Germanic people climbed the city wall and fought with the Roman army, how much hope was there to hold the city. At least, today, Abyss saw that although the legions had won a small victory, most of the Germans had exited the battlefield intact, and only more than 2,000 barbarian soldiers had died in the traps and wooden spikes outside Lugdunum, which was a small loss for a Germanic army of 300,000.

Then Abyss suddenly remembered something, grabbed Flamini's hand and said—

"Tonight, lay stakes in the shallows of the Saône near the city, and let the soldiers start work on the shoals tomorrow morning. The piles must be dense enough that a small transport vessel cannot land smoothly. Also, under the stakes, attach a fishing net, well, it's a must. Go, let the soldiers hurry up after tonight to get to work on this project, the Roman traitors captured by the barbarians, who have more than just the ...... of building catapults."
