The flaming boulder pierced through the dark canopy and smashed into Ctesiphon's walls like falling meteorites.

"Hidden!"

Sulena shouted as hard as she could.

However, before the Parthian defenders could react, meteorite shells had already smashed into the city. After the loud crash, countless wooden buildings were destroyed in an instant, and flames rose into the air, igniting the people who had no time to run away.

Some of the unlucky Parthian soldiers were directly hit by the fireballs, and in an instant they couldn't even find their skeletons, and the whole person was broken flesh flying sideways, and the stumps and severed arms were ignited and wrapped in flames.

"Fetch water! Fire suppression! Fire suppression! ”

Standing at the head of the city, Sulena commanded loudly.

However, before the Parthian soldiers could carry buckets to extinguish the flames, outside the city, dozens of Roman siege artillery guns began to operate again, and this time, the fireballs were even more numerous. Like walking through the scene of a rocket salvo seen on TV, Appis stands in front of the siege artillery, countless fireballs passing overhead, lighting up the silent night sky. The catapult roared, and the whole earth seemed to tremble.

The blazing cannons rolled down and shattered the walls of Ctesiphon, and some of the Parthian defenders on the walls were shattered by the fire, and fell from the city with screams, and their clothes were set on fire, and the flesh and skin inside were also ignited, and they fell under the walls, unhuman.

Passing through the wounded crowd, Sulena ran behind the city walls, commanded the engineering troops, covered and protected his catapults, these war machines were captured from the Roman legions in the previous battle, they were the heavy weapons used by the legions of the younger Crassus, captured by Sulena, and now, he must protect these big guys in order to launch a counterattack against the Roman legions outside the city.

However, just as Sulena was about to run towards them, a flint shot fell from the sky and hit a Roman siege cannon in front of him with precision. The catapult, which the Romans called the wild donkey cannon, suddenly fell apart, and the whole machine was on fire.

"Sulena, we must fight back!"

Numises stood at the head of the city, crying out in terror.

"No, let the soldiers hide first, and then counterattack when the Romans start to send infantry to attack the city!"

In the chaos of the city, Sulena didn't have time to pay attention to the nonsense of the bow captain left behind by Orodus, and he yelled in response. Then he ran into the shelter.

"General, will we die?" "General, have the Romans attacked?"

The semi-basement shelter was crowded with citizens and wounded soldiers, all of whom looked at Sulena with terrified eyes, at this moment, this battle-hardened veteran was their protector, however, Sulena himself did not know if he would live until tomorrow, the dark corridor aisles flickered and darkened, and when the fireball plundered, a light came, and then there was a terrifying crash, women and children holding their heads and screaming, tears, sadness, horror, all over people's expressions.

"Trust me, we're going to survive, we're all going to survive!"

Sulena walked past a boy, crouched down, and said comfortingly.

Outside the city, the artillery bombardment of the Roman legions continued from dawn to dawn, and when the sun first rose, Appis was presented with a burning city. Under the heavy artillery fire, the Parthian defenders did not have time to put out the fire, and the streets of the city were filled with smoke until dawn. Sometimes, Apis feels that he can even be said to be a tyrant, but war is like this, if you don't treat your opponent cruelly, one day, your opponent will be cruel to you. For more than twenty years, Apis has seen too many such battles.

At dawn, Sulena stood at the head of the city, and outside the city, the Roman army stood in good order, like a sea of red, bathed in golden sunlight.

"Brothers, today, what we do will change history! Towards the rising sun, forward. Towards victory, onwards. Towards glory and wealth, onward! ”

Riding on a white warhorse, Apis roared with his sword. Immediately, the officers and men of the whole army broke out with the most enthusiastic response, and their morale was high and their blood was boiling. A loud trumpet sounded, and the legion began to attack!

"Roar, roar, roar......"

The sound of rhythmic footsteps sounded in the field, and red Roman phalanxes came with swords, with conquests. They have only one goal, to storm the city and plunder it! This is the only purpose for which they have worked so hard and come from afar. Roman legions, a regular legion of bandit ruffians! ……

"What are we going to do with them?"

Standing at the head of the city, the Parthian defenders asked their general in horror. They had never seen such a scene, the Roman soldiers outside the city, densely packed, with no end in sight. How do you defend the city? It has become the biggest question hanging in everyone's mind.

"With the weapons of the Romans, defeat the Romans."

Sulena replied calmly.

Immediately, the Roman wild ass cannon behind him was pushed up by the soldiers, all of whom had survived the bombardment last night. At this moment, Sulena counted on using these weapons to destroy Appis's massive siege tower.

As the Roman legions approached, the atmosphere became more and more tense. Everyone was waiting for Sulena's orders, the catapults had been loaded with stone projectiles, and the veterans of Sulena were in high spirits and swore to live and die with Ctesiphon.

"Listen to me!"

Sulena took one last deep breath as he took one last deep breath as he shouted orders for his soldiers to obey his orders, and the herald nervously held the small flag and watched their commander's mouth. For fear of missing the order to shoot.

More than a dozen large siege towers slowly approached......

"Launch! Right now! ”

In the dreary and suffocating air, Sulena tore her throat and roared.

In the next second, the Parthians pulled the cable, and more than two dozen Roman siege cannons used the principle of levers to throw the loaded cannonballs. With a whistling sound that pierced the sky, it smashed into the advancing legions.

The cannons were chaotic and fell from the sky, and the parabolic cannons were more like bombshells, falling in a stream. After smashing down the crowd, many soldiers of the Roman legion suddenly flew with flesh and blood, and the phalanx was blown apart. Shattered shields and severed arms littered the ground.

The screams were incessant. One of the artillery stones directly pierced the advancing siege tower. The timber-framed tower could not withstand such a powerful impact, and the part above the second floor was instantly torn apart, and wood chips flew everywhere. Only one smashed bottom spool remained.

However, in the next second, an even more violent picture appeared, and Appis ordered all the catapults to continue throwing cannons into the city, and today day, be sure to throw all the cannonballs clean! Either don't attack, or, fight to the end, only advance and not retreat!

Under the death order, hundreds of Roman siege cannons advanced while venting the most fierce artillery fire towards the walls of Ctesiphon.
