Under the bewitchment of Dukaru, the Celtic coalition began the first round of the offensive, which, of course, did not take part in the Babataean tribe.

The short, sonorous sound of harps resounded around the king's camp, and a dense wave of torches poured into the outer battlements.

"Buzz!"

Wang Jun stood on the outer battlements on the south side, the bowstring in his hand vibrating slightly; In the distance, a running Celtic suddenly fell to the ground, and after a few rolls, he quickly got up, pulled out the arrow stuck in his arm, and continued to rush forward.

"Ahem! It's a rough battle, and it's really ....... Wang Jun muttered and continued to shoot arrows.

Dozens of fireballs rose from the camp, whistling and flying in all directions of the camp; Dozens of thick and huge crossbow arrows, hiding near the fireball, quickly crossing the night sky; The trembling crossbow bolt fell one step ahead of the fireball and fell into the advancing Celtic crowd at high speed; Individual Celtic warriors, who were unlucky, were nailed directly to the ground. The bed crossbow is still a great threat to the infantry when firing directly or at a small angle, but the killing effect is very average when shooting at a large angle; It's just that the size of the bed crossbow is not small, and the shooting speed is too slow, so the Wang army is not installed on the battlements, if it is a castle or city wall built of stone, the bed crossbow can be placed on top of it.

The huge fireball fell heavily on the Celtic warriors, and continued to jump and roll forward along the habitual surname, and for a moment the flames were scattered; The Celtic warriors who were hit or grazed by the fireballs howled miserably, and the fireballs soaked in fire oil stuck to the skin and had to peel off their skins even if they were not dead; In terms of the situation, the fireball was clearly more lethal than the bed crossbow, but since there were only 10 trebuchets and 10 bed crossbows in each direction, the combination of the two only added a little bit of trouble to the Celtic warriors.

The Celtic warriors rushed quickly, and the fighters in the front row were already less than 40 meters away from the wide trench, and at this time countless small dots in the sky were falling at an accelerated rate; The crossbowmen and archers who were lined up in neat formations between the battlements inside and outside the camp began to shoot from their backs, sending wave after wave of arrows to the sky above the heads of the Celtic warriors. The infantry without protective equipment attacking the city is most afraid of a dense rain of arrows, once encountered, this small life can only be given to luck; In each wave, more than 1,000 arrows fell at high speed in the four directions of the Roman fortress, and the casualties of the Celtic warriors increased rapidly.

The battle was going on at a high pace, and the Celtic warriors, who were lucky and fast, had already rushed to the edge of the trench.

The 5-meter-wide trench is not something you can jump over if you want to; The wooden rafts that had been erected on the trench had been dragged back to the camp by the Roman soldiers, and the dense torches were parked at the outer edge of the trench; At several positions more than 30 meters apart, the Celts shouted trumpets in unison, and several simple long wooden rows were soon erected high and fell towards the other side of the trench.

In the sky, waves of arrows continued to fall, and the hoplites or Celtic infantry on the battlements began to throw light javelins, while the miscellaneous soldiers hidden inside the outer battlements shot wildly at the Celts who were standing in a row along the trench a dozen meters away with their bows and crossbows through the shooting holes in the wooden walls.

The Celtic warriors, who were blocked at the edge of the trench, were stunned by the sudden increase in the number of long-range attacks of the Roman soldiers, and the screams were incessant, and the casualty count rose rapidly; Unable to fight back after being beaten, the Celtic warriors were in a hurry, and stones, daggers, and hatchets were thrown indiscriminately at the Roman battlements, and the few archers also opened their bows and arrows one by one. A handful of red-eyed Celtic warriors simply climbed to the edge of the trench, slipped down, and climbed over the sharpened stakes in an attempt to climb up the trench from the other end; If you are lucky, you can climb over smoothly, while if you are unlucky, you can only lie on the sharp stake and scream.

Compared to the unprotected Celts, the Roman soldiers were quite strong in their defense against long-range damage.

Each soldier has a metal helmet and half-body armor, as long as the stones, bows and arrows do not hit the gap in the armor, there is basically no obstacle to the soldier, of course, if you are unlucky, you will be slashed by a whirling short axe, and you may also be injured.

The thick wooden waist wall as high as 1.2 meters on the outer battlements, for the Roman soldiers who threw javelins on the battlements, as long as it was not the moment when the arm was thrown, they could bow their bodies close to the waist wall at other times, and the casualty rate was very small; You'll need at least a sharpshooter-level warrior to consider giving it a try.

In the open space between the outer and inner battlements, many short axes, stones, and arrows also flew over; Under the command of the officer, all hoplites raised or lowered their shields under orders, and the infantry archers or crossbowmen behind them bowed their bodies when the hoplites raised their shields, and fired when the hoplites lowered their shields.

In the long-range mutual attack of just a dozen seconds, the attacking Celtic soldiers suffered heavy casualties, while the defending Roman soldiers suffered few casualties.

"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”

With a dull sound, several improvised wooden bridges were erected over the trenches.

"Kill!"

The Celtic warriors, who had to stand still and be "cut wheat" by the Romans, finally found a place to vent, and ran through the trenches from the improvised wooden bridge, intending to climb the outer battlements that were close at hand.

Wang Jun stood on the battlements, and with the special longbow in his hand, he gave the Celts a little by one; The distance is close, and the value of long-distance combat has been maximized. Unconsciously, the experience of long-distance warfare is quietly accumulating.

A series of crossbow arrows frantically rushed out of the firing port, and the miscellaneous soldiers hid inside the battlements and happily repeated the series of actions of shooting, substitution, winding, and shooting; Two miscellaneous soldiers are responsible for a firing port, I will shoot after you finish shooting, and you will come after I finish shooting, the work is simple and meaningful. When did the miscellaneous soldiers go to war? Anyway, today they are all on the battlefield, and they are slaughtering the enemy under conditions of absolute safety; The miscellaneous soldiers are always excited, this good thing is rare in a thousand years!

The Celtic warriors who crossed the trench soon discovered a row of shooting holes in the battlement wall, from which sharp arrows were constantly being shot and nailed into the bodies of one companion after another. But it was found that there was no good way for the Celtic warriors, and no one could rush through this short distance of 6 meters; In the direction directly opposite the wooden bridge, within 15 meters to the left and right, javelins were dropped on the battlements and crossbow arrows flying from the shooting holes, and they all began to gather fire towards the wooden bridge.

After only a few minutes, the remaining Celtic warriors suddenly found that they could not even break through the wooden bridge; The front and back ends of the wooden bridge, as well as the deck of the wooden bridge, were all covered with the corpses of their own people, one by one who were inserted like hedgehogs, and it was miserable to see.

In the open space on the periphery of the Roman walled battlements, there was originally a dense gathering of Celtic warriors, but now, the warriors, whose enthusiasm had subsided a little, suddenly found that there seemed to be not many companions around.

Ducaru watched the battle on the outskirts of the Roman camp from afar, and because of his own deterioration of eyesight and the night, he could not see very clearly; There was no confusion on the Roman battlements, which means that their warriors did not attack it; The dense Celtic warriors who rushed to the vicinity of the battlements were much more sparse, and their shouts were not as noisy as before.

The first attack was a failure.

Through this battle, it is clear that the long-range strike capabilities of the Romans have improved significantly compared to a few decades ago; In the future, when fighting the Romans, you need to be especially careful with their long-range strikes. Dukaru silently pondered, he didn't care about this defeat in the slightest; Originally, it was just an attack to test the surname, not to mention that it was not the warriors of his own tribe who died.

Feeling hopeless and rushing to the battlements, the surviving Celtic warriors retreated.

The Roman army also stopped long-range strikes, the retreating Celtic warriors were sparsely populated, and continuing to shoot was just a waste of supplies and the physical strength of the warriors, and the effect was definitely not good. There was silence in the military stronghold, and the discipline of the Roman army was impeccable in this era; Even the Celtic infantry of the two brigades that had just joined the army were quickly assimilated; The fighting stopped briefly, the soldiers rested in place, and no one was going to talk nonsense.

The first time the two sides met, Wang Jun, who had a geographical advantage and a strong instrument, won a small victory; The Celtic coalition lost more than 4,000 soldiers on the battlefield on all four sides, with no tangible results.

The tribal alliance that felt that it had suffered a big loss made a fuss, and more than 4,000 warriors were not a small number, which was equivalent to beating the combat power of four medium-sized tribes to half-crippled, or equivalent to exhausting the combat power of ten small tribes.

Dukaru quietly calmed the noisy leader of the tribe and offered a solution; When everyone hears it, a wise man is a wise man, and this method is good!

Many vengeful tribal leaders immediately rushed back to their ranks to make arrangements.

And the tribal leaders who did not have a wheel in the first battle got together in twos and threes, and whispered to denigrate those tribes who lost the first battle; In their eyes, it is not that the enemy is too powerful, but that the warriors of the tribes participating in the war are too weak in ability and too weak in courage.

I can't even go up the enemy's battlements, isn't it that my ability is too poor?

Time passed slowly, and thousands of dead and not yet dead warriors lay on the perimeter of the camp, and the sound of the remnants of the howl gradually faded away; The gates of the four camps in the outer battlements opened slightly at the same time, and dozens of soldiers rushed out quickly, rushing in groups to several improvised wooden bridges built on the trenches.

The Celts saw this scene from afar and immediately clamoured, but in the end there was no real action; The Roman soldiers who rushed out of the camp threw the corpses on the wooden bridge into the trench, and when they encountered the Celtic warriors who were not dead, they directly cut their throats and threw them away, and the improvised wooden bridge erected on the trench was dragged back to the camp by them.

It had been 2 hours since the first battle, and the Celtic coalition had not yet launched a second offensive; There was silence on the battlefield.

Wang Jun remained on the outer battlements, looking into the distance with his hands behind his back; In the eyes of the nearby soldiers, the commander seemed to be in a bit of a trance today, or he would have stood in that position for two hours at a time, almost motionless.

No one noticed that on the ground up and down 40 meters outside the battlements, a two-handed sword that had lost its honorable master moved strangely on the ground; The night is vast, and no one can see so far, except for Wang Jun, a "non-human".

However, Wang Jun was not observing this supernatural event, in fact, Wang Jun was the author of this supernatural event.

With the idea that being idle is also idle, Wang Jun began to train his mental strength directly on the battlements; Controlling matter, which is another application of mental power in addition to hypnosis and perception; Despite being ridiculed many times by the half-crippled plugin, Wang Jun still felt that the three application methods he had developed were very bullish.

This two-handed greatsword, weighing about 3.5 kilograms, is a very bullish two-handed greatsword, and according to the poor appearance of the Celts, this two-handed greatsword must be a foreign product, and its owner should be a good mix.

(The second generation of a certain tribal official who can no longer die is full of sorrow and tears: Big brother, is it so fun to have a dead man's weapon?) ）

Although at a distance of about 40 meters, Wang Jun can only move this two-handed big sword, but if it is placed within 4 meters of his side, Wang Jun can flexibly swing this big sword with his mental power.

Two hours earlier, more than 4,000 Celtic warriors had died at the rate of 0.1 points each, contributing more than 400 spiritual castes to the king's army; Now Wang Jun's spiritual surname is as high as 4320 points, and the two abilities of hypnosis and perception have been improved again, and the ability to control objects can already be used to directly use the ability to control objects within a distance of 432 meters, and some small insects such as mosquitoes and flies can be directly used.

The Celtic camp on the opposite side seemed to be stirring, and Wang Jun stopped moving his two-handed swords, and instead used his perception ability to probe the Celts more than two hundred meters away.

Within 43 meters, accurate perception can be achieved, within 432 meters, fuzzy perception can be achieved, and within 4320 meters, threatening perception can be generated; Now that Wang Jun is more and more fond of using the three abilities brought by his spiritual caste, perhaps other castes are indeed a little miserable compared to spiritual castes.

In fact, as long as you take a look at your own caste, you will find that Wang Jun's strength, physique, and agility are actually "non-human".
