Chapter 34: Breaking the Camp (Part II)

Right here in David. As soon as Ankit came ashore, he heard the shouts of slaughter and the sound of swords and shields rushing from the fortress on the opposite bank, and after entering the gate of Yazda, he hurriedly waited for the wooden ladder and stood on the watchtower, but saw that the soldiers around him were also dumbfounded, watching the Romans launch a fierce attack on the opposite bank in the morning light on the river in the early morning.

Especially on the surface of the water, ten huge ships connected from end to end pressed in the direction and slashed into the middle of the east and west fortresses, blocking Akilo's fortress like a huge city wall.

It was only then that Akilo remembered the previous commander-in-chief's warning, but even David . . . Ankit didn't expect the Romans to come so quickly, and at such a distance, these soldiers quickly completed the rush operation, and tacitly coordinated with their fleet to seal the fleet fortress in the West Mountain, so that Akilo could not retreat.

Hashid's small river defense fleet, with several oars jumping out of the wall of water, bravely slashed in the direction of Faobinas's flagship, which may be their only chance to break the opponent's opponent, and that is to capture the thief first, especially the red ribbon of the centaur gold flag in the bow direction, but when Faobinas was in the tower cabin, observed the enemy's raiding ship, he gave the order to all personnel to use bellows.

In the sound of the trumpet, the oarsman and helmsman turned the bow of the ship through a precise and complex coordinated action, facing the swarming Hashidi light raiding ships, and then Yazda, the West Mountain Fortress, and everyone on the river bank saw that at the bow of the Roman flagship, the upper, middle and lower three flamethrowers spewed out fire dragons in turn, with a thunderous sound. Skimming the sea. The two raiding ships at the head were caught off guard. They were originally going to throw javelins at a certain distance, as is the usual water battle, and then raise their long sickles to cut the oars or rudder of the Roman flagship, and then engage in wolf pack tactics with the following ships, destroying the flagship with ramming horns and chaotic fighting, and even taking prisoners.

But a few fierce flames burned all these Hashdi dreams. The crew on their deck was unsuspecting, their hair and clothes were burned, the entire side and hull of the ship were twisted and deformed in the flames, and the two raiding ships were like burning candles in the screams, gradually turning into two points of decay on the river. The rest of the raiding ships hurriedly turned around and prepared to flee back to the fortress, and the Li Bida armed ships behind them breathed flames arrogantly from time to time, chasing and killing all the way, and in the area of the two furlongs in front of the water wall, three or four large ships completely dispersed the various ships of Hashdi. Behind the high deck wooden walls, hoplites threw javelins down. However, the javelins thrown by the crew on the Hashdi deck were difficult to reach the big ship, and not long after, after the ballistas and javelins were scattered and fired, the Hashdi's boats were sunk one after another.

There was a violent friction between the two large ships, and the infantry hula on them raised their shields all over their heads, which bounced the stones and arrows shot from the towers of the wall of water, and just as they were about to put the crow drawbridge hanging on the side of the ship on the battlements of the wall of water, and rush up with the crows to seize the wall of water, Faobinas was astute to notice, "This wall of water is too forward-facing, and the bricks are a little uneven." Then he suddenly realized, and did not give the order to blow the horn of attack, "because this is a trap, a false wall!" ”

Under the reflection of the flags and shields, several large ships behind fiercely crushed the wreckage of the Hashid boat floating on the water, and stretched out a terrifying huge bronze ramming horn in front of them, and slammed at the wall of water, which was indeed as Faobinas had expected, and collapsed in the water in the midst of the exclamations of the soldiers on both sides! And in the splash and smoke, behind the false wall, is the real water wall, on which you can see the helmet of the Hashid warrior flashing, the shadow behind the wall battlement, and the tower that shoots crosswise, just the horizontal height of the wall battlement, which is the same as the deck side of the big ship, and Faobinas waved his hand in the cabin, which means that the big ship is lined up in a line, and the water wall tower is attacked by ballista!

Aquiro built a false wall in order to attract the Cyrene legions to climb up, and then use ropes to pull them down, and they all fell into the water to annihilate them, and now this strategy was seen through by Faobinas, and the Romans' mighty ships were put together like a huge floating fortress, and they were not afraid to shoot fiery stone bullets against Akilo's fortress.

On the other side, there was also a sudden bustle on the land, with two brigades of 1,000 men and several auxiliary brigades arriving at the side of the fortress of the West Hill, which was built along the hill and covered with steep terrain below, and the Romans infantry seemed to have taken these factors into account at all, setting up cavalry cannons and wild asses to bombard them without a head, and then the infantry began to raise their shields and began to build ladders and harp carts under the fire of the walls.

Li Bida and Peternius personally stood in front of the first line of centurions, observing the battle situation and boosting morale, many centurions personally ran to salute the two, at this time the defenders' stones were also thrown down, Alp hurriedly raised his shield and blocked it in front of the commander-in-chief, who wanted to be pushed away by him, "Your duty of the Medejie Guard is not to protect me, a legion that only knows the general of the Guardian will not be able to achieve victory, and a legion that is bent on victory is eligible for victory." ”

Arp gritted his teeth, gathered all the Madjet guards, and under the cover of the two auxiliary brigades, followed the back hill of the fortress, repeated the old tricks, and rushed up the mountain path.

Originally, at the top of the mountain, it was the observation room of the naval commander, with a lighthouse for command, an excellent and calm general, who should have taken the guards here at this moment, had a bird's-eye view of the entire battle situation, and commanded the amphibious troops to dispatch the battlefield, but our general Aguilo, who was only a blacksmith, had no way that the officers here were too scarce, and he was the same as Patian, because of his bravery in battle, he was promoted, and when he saw the water wall beating lively, he actually held a sword, Fighting with the soldiers of the Cyrene Legion who rushed up on the drawbridge, completely ignoring the overall occupation, all the Hashhiti men and horses in the fleet fortress were all fighting separately, and there was no unified plan.

Arp rushed to the top of the hill, only to see a simple wooden fence under the lighthouse, the Esioans rushed forward, cut off one of the sections with the long scythe used by the water army, and then the Medejie Guard rushed briskly, occupied the platform and command post in the back mountain, and began to shoot arrows at the fleet base in the belly of the mountain, and now Akilo's men and horses were fried, and they could only crawl on the ground in front of the powerful arrows falling from above.
