"Gunpowder?" Yuan was surprised and said, "You're going to blow up the city walls with gunpowder?" That's a good idea. All of the raw materials for these black powders are produced in this plane, and have little to no effect on the space-time channel. And in the current stalemate, it can definitely play a decisive role. I didn't expect you to be ready for this so early. ”

Gao Yang waved his hand and said with a smile, "I don't have the ability to pinch my fingers and know everything." It's just a prep item, and it just happens to be used right now. ”

After a pause, Gao Yang turned around and slowly walked down the high platform, and said, "This thing is usually not used at all, that is, when there is a large-scale siege like this, there will be a chance to show its power." I'm not trying to blow up the walls. It's about blowing up an entire section of the city wall! ”

"Does it have this power?" The origin asked suspiciously.

"The power of granular black powder is okay." Gao Yang raised his hand and touched his nose, and said with a smile, "Haven't you heard that sentence?" The power is not enough, the number is to make up. ”

In order to destroy the walls of the Roman city, Gao Yang prepared a large amount of gunpowder. Under the cover of a large-scale siege, the black powder contained in barrels quietly approached the already dilapidated city walls under the cover of huge shield carts.

The Greeks holding the barrel had no idea what they were carrying in their arms. It was a complete fool to pile these barrels under the city walls as ordered. If they knew that what they had brought along the way would be enough to tear them all to shreds, they would probably have preferred to join the death squads.

The Romans in the midst of the fierce battle did not notice such an inconspicuous thing as a dozen tall and sturdy shield carts clung to the city wall and stopped motionless. It wasn't directly on the city walls, and the Romans didn't care about it now.

The attention of the defenders was almost always drawn to the vassals who were besieging the city fiercely. Wait until more and more shield carts gather here, and many figures keep flashing under the shield carts. The defenders realized that something was wrong.

The Romans didn't know what the vassals were going to do by hiding under the shield carts, but it was definitely not a good thing.

The anxious defenders began to attack the shield carts in the face of a rain of stones and arrows.

Bows and arrows are useless, and they can only be heard once when they are shot at a strong shield cart. Stones are useless either, how big can stones be on the walls? It's okay to smash people, but it's helpless to smash a sturdy shield car. These specially reinforced shield carts will not be crushed by these small stones.

By the time the Romans were in a hurry to bring the hot oil from the city to the city walls. But he was stunned to find that the enemy's originally fierce attack suddenly ended.

With the sound of military trumpets that resounded throughout the battlefield. A large number of besieging vassals retreated like a tide. Although they did not understand why they had withdrawn their troops in the good form of having already stormed the city walls, they absolutely had to obey the military orders. At this time, the military discipline of these vassal armies was still good. But after entering the city, it is difficult to say.

"What's going on?" Even the Romans who defended the city thought it was strange. Today, the offensive of the alien army is extremely fierce, and the city walls have been breached in many places. The defenders even thought that the city was going to be broken today. No one expected that the enemy army would suddenly retreat when they had the upper hand.

However, soon they knew why.

Beneath the shield cart, a majestic black slave with his whole body covered in sturdy armor stared at the sky in the distance behind him. It wasn't until he saw a long row of red flares rising into the air that he quickly took out the ignition from his arms.

Looking at the 'hissing' fuse, the black slave remembered his master's explanation: "Be sure to make sure that it is lit before running." ”

Some silly black slaves looked at it seriously for a while before confirming that it was indeed the fuse, and then turned around and ran. He didn't know why he knew how to do it, but he knew he had to do what his master said.

"Boom !!"

With an earth-shattering roar, a huge explosion erupted beneath the walls of the city of Rome. It was as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt in the hands of Zeus. The massive walls flew into the sky with a roaring explosion.

Scattered rubble is as lethal as bullets. The violent shock wave knocked everyone in the surrounding area to the ground. Thick gunsmoke and dust completely enveloped this 100-meter-long city wall.

Look at the huge pillar of dust that soars into the sky in the distance. Gao Yang sighed lightly and said, "This time you can." ”

Both armies on the battlefield fell into a brief state of distraction. Even the Han soldiers who supervised the war had never seen such a powerful weapon. Everyone was frightened by this kind of scene that was not humanly possible.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and the stones and dirt that flew into the air rained down like droplets. The place where the original wall was built was now in ruins. A variety of jumble stones paved a sloping slope. You don't need any siege equipment, and you can enter the city of Rome directly down the slope.

'Woo~~~' The trumpet sounded again, but this time it was the order to attack.

I don't know exactly what's going on, but it's good for me to see what I'm looking at. The vassals were excited at the thought that they would soon be able to invade the city of Rome and plunder the endless riches. The fear of the unknown is also forcibly suppressed by the fear of wealth.

The opulence of the city of Rome is unimaginable. These vassals had already coveted the riches of Rome. Now that I finally have the opportunity to kill and loot wantonly, one by one it is as if I am scolded. The medicine howled and rushed towards the collapsed section of the wall. In their minds, as long as the city wall is breached, it means that the siege is over.

"Are you going to slaughter the city?" Yuan asked aloud, "Let those vassals kill in." What is left of the city? They will definitely loot, destroy, set fire everywhere. What will be left of this place after the sack? ”

"Don't be in a hurry." Gao Yang smiled and said, "It's just that a gap has been opened, and the power of the Romans is still there." This is their capital. is their last bastion. Their families and wealth are here, and there is no place to escape. Unless they want to go to the Germanic Black Forest in the north to be in the company of the barbarians. The Romans had not yet used their last strength. Now is the time for the wounded beast to prepare to go berserk. ”

Gao Yang was right. The Romans had no way to retreat at this time, and behind them was their home! At this point, they can only fight to the death.

The Roman legionaries finally stopped thinking about the gold and silver coins. For the first time, they did not fight for money. This section is still emitting white smoke. The ground was still warm, and the collapsed city walls suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention. Countless people flocked to this place.

The vassals crawled through the ruins. On the opposite side of them, the black-pressed Romans were doing the same. Then, they met.

Fierce hand-to-hand combat broke out at close quarters. There are too many people on both sides. There are so many that there is no formation at all. Everyone was desperately squeezing forward, and even wielding weapons in the front row became a difficult thing.

"See?" Gao Yang raised his hand to the ruins in the distance and said with a smile, "The Romans are now fighting for their homeland. Their power is still very strong. ”

"Hmm." The origin point responded, "Because those vassals saw hope, they also broke out with strong combat and fighting spirit, and the losses on both sides will be very heavy. You're killing two birds with one stone. ”

"Although there are many people in the Chinese nation, none of them are superfluous." Gao Yang narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, "Every Chinese person's life is precious. Especially at a time when the final victory is on the verge of victory. Let the aliens kill each other. ”

In the distance, the sky was cloudy, and the scorching sun was gradually sinking in the west, hiding his figure below the horizon. Darkness began to cover the land.

Outside the city of Rome was a huge sea of fire. It was a bright sea of fire made up of countless torches and oil lamps. Under the light of the fire, almost everyone's face was full of longing.

At this moment, the ruins of the city wall, which had been blown down by black powder, were completely covered with corpses and blood. The ground was covered with severed limbs and blood, and there was no place to put your feet down.

The vassals finally squeezed into the walls after paying heavy casualties. Their feet set foot on the land of the city of Rome. But the price is the countless corpses along the way.

The Romans are still resisting. Falling into despair, the Senate ordered the forcible conscription of the wealth and slaves of wealthy families. He gave the wealth to the slaves and told them, "You are free, you are all Romans now." Grab your sword and defend Rome. ”

Huge quantities of cannon fodder and one Roman legion after another were sent to the front. Whether it was Severus or Arnubis, or other Roman nobles who held great power. At this time, they didn't care about internal friction and mutual vigilance, and the elite legions in their hands also went to the front.

Looking down from the sky, Rome was filled with a sea of light and fire. Countless torches shook and moved. The densest part of the fire was near the blasted wall. The sea of fire on both sides was desperately converging there.

The fierce fighting lasted all night. The vassals who broke into Rome were almost all killed. They were so greedy that they completely lost their formation and battle as soon as they entered the city of Rome. When they saw the house, they rushed in and robbed it as if they had won.

Wait until the elite legions of the Romans have driven over and sealed the gap after fierce fighting. A large number of vassal troops who entered the city suddenly became turtles in the urn. These vassals, who had been scattered in the darkness of the night and had no organization, were no match for the Romans, though they were numerous. They were quickly divided and annihilated one by one.

As for the reinforcements outside the city. After this period of fierce fighting, the vassals suffered heavy losses, and the last of their forces rushed into the city before that. Where else is there a force strong enough to break through the defenses of Rome's elite Eagle Mark Legion? (To be continued.) )
