"Wow! Wow! Wow! ”

The waves crashed against the hull of the boat, and the sound became clearer and clearer. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info huge fleet of the Qin army, which is already looming.

On the banks of the river, the requisitioned Roman troops clenched their spears one after another. Those who were a little younger had a look of fear in their eyes.

"Can we really stop such a behemoth?"

Although they had already been vaccinated beforehand, they were still overwhelmed by the intuitive experience they had seen in person.

What's more, among the more than 100,000 Roman troops, only half were real soldiers. The rest were just temporary call-ins.

"Trebuchet ready!"

On the banks of the river, Roman officers received the news and began to command loudly.

During the construction of the canal, in order to facilitate the Qin merchant ships to sail directly into Rome, the Roman court built a huge port here.

However, it is precisely because of this that the pressure on the Roman army is now unprecedented.

Although the infrastructure of the port has been dismantled, the combed seaport can still allow the warships of the Qin army to get closer.

"Prepare your ballistas and aim at those trebuchets!"

On top of the warship, Wang Ben, who was in the flagship, naturally saw the Roman ships on the coast and the Roman army waiting on the coast.

However, the number of Roman ships was not only inferior to that of the Qin army, but also the size of the army.

The smaller the ship, the worse the stability. Wang Ben, who had been at sea for a long time, knew that it was impossible to carry any long-distance weapons with the size of a Roman ship.

Therefore, the only thing that can pose a slight threat to the Qin warships is the trebuchet on the coast.

"Whew! Call! Call! ”

A whistling sound sounded in the sky above the Qin warship. The Roman army, which had been prepared for a long time, launched an attack earlier.

Moreover, to Wang Ben's surprise, although the Roman trebuchet looked a little shabby and dilapidated, the range of the attack was quite far.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

Roman trebuchets were not very accurate, but many still landed on warships. A crisp cracking sound echoed across the deck of the warship.

"Oil!"

Looking at the broken huge crockpot, Wang Ben's brows furrowed slightly. I also knew why the Roman trebuchet could go so far.

"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”

Before the rockets of the Roman army were launched, the ballistas of the Qin army had already been launched.

Moreover, compared with simple trebuchets, the Qin army's ballistas not only have a long range, but also have more than one grade of power and accuracy.

"The enemy's fleet is on a sortie!" At this time, on the deck, the soldiers of the Qin Army, who were nervously handling the grease before, suddenly exclaimed.

"I see." Looking at the rapidly approaching Roman ships, Wang Ben also understood the thoughts of the Romans.

It was nothing more than trying to use the speed of the boat to shorten the distance with the Qin warship, and then release the rocket.

However, although the Romans thought well, would it really be so easy for the Qin army to fall into the path of the Romans?

"Put down the boat, Thang Long!" Wang Ben snorted softly.

Immediately afterward, there was a burst of sound above all the warships.

"Poof! Poof! ”

Small boats soon emerged from the belly of the ship. The bronze pipes, which were carved into the shape of dragon heads, also rose.

"Shoot the arrows!"

As the Roman officer's order fell, one after another flaming arrows flew towards the warships of the Qin army.

Not only that, but on land, the trebuchet, which had recovered from the blows of the ballistas, also began a second round of attacks.

"Poof! Burst! ”

Inside the black faucet pipe, a huge column of water gushes out. The water column rose into the air and turned into patches of rain. For a while, it seemed to be raining around the Qin warship.

The sound of the tiles shattering sounded again. However, none of the Romans on the ships on the side were happy. Because, most of the rain of arrows in the sky has been extinguished.

The rest, even if it fell, was quickly extinguished. Can't afford to burn a fire at all.

Even the consul himself, who was standing on the coast and was in charge of supervising the war, was stunned by the changes on the Qin warship.

Although he knew that there was something called the Mechanism Technique in the Qin Kingdom, he did not expect that this kind of Mechanism Technique could be so refined.

In fact, it was none other than Yingzheng who remembered this method in advance.

Although there are many coincidences in the burning of Chibi, Ying Zheng does not want such a coincidence to befall his fleet.

You must know that every warship has taken a huge amount of time and energy to build in the Empire. The amount of money spent is also incalculable.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

A huge roar sounded, and the ballistas that had been aimed at the shore were turned in the direction of the Roman ships on the sea.

Ballistae were originally designed to deal with ships, and their penetrating power was extremely impressive.

What's more, compared to the fleet of the Qin State, there were no protective bronze plates on the ships of Rome. Therefore, the Qin army's ballistae can smash a hole with almost every blow.

The power of the ballistas caused the Roman ships to leak and sway. At this time, the small boat that the Qin army had laid down earlier also arrived near the Roman ships.

The shouts of killing rang out above the ships of the Romans.

Of course, the battle on the Roman ships did not affect the speed of the Qin warships in the slightest. The Roman ships, like toys in front of the huge warships, could not even stop them in the slightest.

"Prepare for battle!"

Although the Qin army was crushed on the sea, the Romans did not reach the point of being crushed in one blow.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Decks were lowered to the roar of ballistas. Rows of soldiers of the Qin army, holding large oars, stood at the forefront. In the back, there are crossbowmen armed with strong crossbows.

The port of Rome was large, but in addition to a large square, there were many stone buildings in the distance.

And the Roman army of more than 100,000 people blocked the square, making the population density on the square extremely high. And this also greatly increased the lethality of the Qin army's strong crossbows and ballistas.

Of course, although the port is large, it is not enough to accommodate hundreds of warships of the Qin army to berth at the same time.

But that's enough.

Because, Wang Ben had already seen the weakness of the Roman army. That's right, it was those recruits who were urgently drafted.

With the arrows and ballistae roaring, even the aggressive Romans were a little frightened. What's more, many of these Romans were only teenagers.

Recruits, it is impossible to be integrated into the veterans, otherwise it will completely disrupt the order of the veterans. However, the dispersal of new recruits can also have an impact on veterans.

As for how to tell the difference, this is easier to do. Where there is more commotion, there are recruits.

Recognizing this, the Qin army riveted vigorously and launched an attack on the place where the recruits were located.

The recruit camp, which was already a little flustered, quickly fell into a rout under the powerful impact.

"Don't quit! No refund! The veteran officer roared, even at the cost of killing. However, all this was useless, because even the recruits who turned their heads under pressure would reflexively retreat in the face of their defeated companions and the Qin army that poured in. This is the general trend and cannot be changed by individuals.

As the Roman recruits broke up, so did the pressure on the veterans. Although the Roman warriors were still fighting to the death, the ranks were being compressed more and more by the Qin army.

"Withdraw your troops!" Looking at the recruits who were completely in a rout, the archon said with a deep sigh of relief.

He knew that all he could hope for now was the high walls of Rome.

Only by holding on to the help, maybe Rome still has a chance to live. Fortunately, he had already given such an order at the time of Anthony's defeat. Now, all he could beg for was the help of those troops to arrive as soon as possible to hold the foundations of Rome.
