A week later, on the outskirts of Lugdunum, the morning fog of early autumn was filled, and on the vast land, huge catapults were pushed up the plain, and the Roman soldiers defending the city opened their mouths in great surprise when they saw this scene, originally, in everyone's expectations, the Germans were just a group of bloodthirsty and brutal barbarians, and their production process was limited to making a few spears, hunting bows and axes, all the Roman soldiers did not expect that the Germans would create Roman siege weapons in just one week, and, Attack the Romans with Roman weapons. If www.biquge.info Germanic people were born to learn and had the ability to learn to such an extent, then Abyss would not believe it if they were killed a hundred times, and the only explanation was that the Roman prisoners of war in the Germanic army betrayed Rome and taught the Germans this siege technique.

It's a great irony that people in the civilized world have turned to the barbarians, but if you think about it, you can't blame all these Roman soldiers, after all, in the case of life under the control of people, it is normal to survive like this, and not every Roman soldier has been fully brainwashed.

"What are we going to do now, Abyss, I didn't plan to fight such a barbarian."

Levius stood beside Abys, surprised and terrified, in the Battle of Mannheim, Levi felt the ferocity of the Germans for the first time, if this siege weapon was allowed to blast through the walls, then the consequences would be terrible and unimaginable.

"Now, then, it's time to decide."

Ignoring Levi's slightly frightened face, Abyss strode up the tower and ordered the sappers on the tower to start filling the boulders and aiming at the dozens of siege catapults beneath the city. Compared to the Germanic slings, the Roman legions' defensive weapons on the towers of the city walls were more ferocious, multiplying the lethality of throwing boulders from a high position, and at the same time, if lucky, destroying any siege weapons outside the city.

And all archers, slingers, legionary infantry also took their posts at the first time. Another fierce battle was about to begin, three in a row for two months, which had already exhausted many legionnaires, but the war would continue, and the barbarian army was just outside the city.

Beneath the walls of Lugdunum was a circle of improvised trenches, arranged in the traditional regimental arrangement, with dense stakes sharpened and covered with a thin layer of earth, the traps that could not be seen by the naked eye, and of course, only for a while.

Groups of barbarians roared and roared outside the city, striking their shields with spears and axes, making a continuous sound of blows. The Roman soldiers on the city walls lined up according to the standards of military orders, and the barbarian army outside the city was at least ten times that of the city, plus the war machines moving slowly not far away, it should be said that even with the tall city walls, the Roman soldiers still felt deeply uneasy in this battle.

"We have no way out, brothers, the city is ruined, this is the reality, if you don't want to be slaughtered or captured by those barbarians outside the city, you will take out the spirit of the Romans and fight to the end!"

Outside the city, the vanguard of tens of thousands of barbarians had already begun to move, and Appis made a short final speech on the city walls, mobilizing before the battle. "Fight to the end!" The soldiers of the Snow Wolf Legion then responded, shouting the slogans of the commander. Immediately, the cannons and catapults on the tower began to operate, and black shadows passed above the tower, and the boulders smashed into the marching barbarian army with a whistling sound that broke through the air.

Tens of thousands of Germanic armies moved in dense numbers, like ant colonies in primeval forests carrying out savage invasions, however, the Roman war machine taught the Germans another bloody lesson, and the dense crowds became live targets for large siege weapons. A huge and terrifying lethality fell from the sky, and the moment it landed, hundreds of Germanic warriors were crushed to pieces, flesh and bones were instantly crushed into pieces, and the pulp flowed sideways and splashed in all directions.

And those cannons, the big arrows quickly and savagely passed through the crowd, dealing a fatal blow to the enemy in a straight line, and a large crossbow bolt even pierced the bodies of three Germanic soldiers, pinning the three Germans standing in front and back together. The cannon knocked a Germanic man's head flying, splattering with a thick brain pulp and blood, and even a faint mist of blood was raised at the scene.

The Germanic soldiers, who had been hit by the stones and arrows but were not killed, lay on the ground, screaming in pain. Some of the barbarian warriors even had their arms removed whole, and in such an era of almost primitive medical conditions, they could only lie there and wait for the blood to drain and die slowly and painfully. The tribesmen helped their companions lift them up and transported them back to their camp for the wizard to heal, but the blood flowed out more violently, hastening their deaths......

Then, with a loud roar, the Germanic siege weapons began to counterattack.

Using catapults made by Roman prisoners of war, the Germans threw a boulder with pitch and flames at the towering walls of Lugdunum, and dozens of ignited stone projectiles pierced the sky with a whining sound and smashed into the Roman walls. Several soldiers defending the city couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw the roaring boulder crashing head-on, and they wanted to scream but there was no time for them to react, and watched the burning boulder crash into the wall where they were located.

The city wall made a terrifying crashing sound, a large amount of rubble, dust and wood chips drifted in the air, and the Roman soldiers standing on the city wall were bloody and fleshy, and the burning corpses even split into several pieces, sprinkled under the city wall, and serious cracks appeared in the lower part of the originally solid city wall in an instant. Another boulder hit the tower on the wall of Lugdunum in the face, the watchtower was cut off by the waist, and the upper half of the whole building fell from the sky, and the Roman soldier standing on the tower watched in horror, his body was thrown out when the tower tilted, and when it landed, it was crushed by the rubble, and the same as the barbarians, the Romans, when they were attacked by catapults, were also brutally destroyed, and the blood was extremely bloody.

“*****”

Then the leaders of the Germanic tribes let out a furious roar, and on the plain, a large number of barbarian infantry began to charge en masse, and from the top of the city walls, the dense crowd began to disperse, and the vanguard was like a small black dot to the city of Lugdunum. Under the rain of arrows, the barbarian soldiers, carrying the simplest ladders, ropes, began to attack the city, not realizing the impending danger in the slightest......
