Of the 3,000 heavy arrows, only half fell on the 600-meter-long tower; Covering the blow, the emphasis is on the quantity, 1500 heavy arrows, can basically cover this section of the tower.

The Ahamia warriors didn't even think about the fact that the arrows could penetrate the copper-skinned round shield, and they shrank their bodies one by one to hide under the round shield, thinking that they could easily avoid this wave of arrows; When the sound of "fluttering" sounded in the city, many Ahamia warriors became cups on the coffee table without warning, and the heavy arrows that were still full of strength after piercing the shields drilled into their bodies.

When the first scream came from the tower, Astino had already pulled a second heavy arrow from his quiver; Two seconds later, a second wave of arrows rose into the air.

Immediately after firing two rounds of heavy arrows, Astino led his team on a rapid march of 600 meters west along the river bank; After the whole team stood still, two waves of arrows flew towards the city tower on the opposite bank.

The 3,000-strong longbowmen advanced intermittently west along the banks of the river, until they reached the edge of the Bay of Patras before turning back; At this time, ten 201-class triremes sailed from the bay into the Tamsui River more than 100 meters wide, and went straight to the section of water where the trebuchet was powerful.

Behind the king's army, the black laborers requisitioned from the administrative district of Ellis carried out wooden rafts and waited for the arrival of the Spartan warship; The 201-class triremes are small in size and have no pressure to enter the inland river more than 100 meters wide. 10 warships were in place one after another, and the hull of more than 40 meters long was parallel to the river bank; The Helots, with the cooperation of the navy, began to build a pontoon bridge 20 meters wide, facing the gate of the Patranan wall.

Suppress the enemy on the castle tower, build a pontoon bridge in battle, and storm it.

This is Wang Jun's tactics, very general tactics; With 30 trebuchets and 3,000 longbowmen, the royal army could attack without bothering his brains, without any problems at all.

30 trebuchets were still creaking and bombarding the walls on the opposite bank, and the 6-meter-high walls were already gray and dilapidated; The pontoon bridge, which is more than 100 meters long and 30 meters wide, was quickly erected; A hundred Spartan militiamen, escorting a hundred black-laborers, carrying a huge log, rushed to the gate on the opposite bank.

From the 10 warships parked side by side on the river, the Ahamians knew that the Spartans were going to build pontoon bridges; Under the leadership of the officers, groups of Ahamia warriors, risking being smashed by boulders, poured back onto the ruined towers. At this time, Astino, with 2,999 longbowmen, was already on both sides of the pontoon bridge on the south bank, and the bowstrings made of hemp fiber began to hum, and the storm of heavy arrows shrouded the 600-meter-long tower in front; The trebuchet has also been replaced with gravel shells, and now it is required to cover the blow, and there is no need to use large boulders.

On the bloodstained city walls, the Ahamia warriors fell in batches, and patched up in batches; Under the double blow of heavy arrows and gravel, the counterattack of the Ahamiya people with their lives seemed so weak; A small number of arrows and javelins successfully flew towards the Spartan Helots, who rushed up with a giant log. However, the Spartan militia, who served as the guard, fulfilled their duties well; The attack of the Ahamia warriors did not cause them many casualties.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

A huge crash sounded at the city gate, and nearly a hundred black laborers carried huge logs and began to pound the city gate vigorously; Strangely, the gate seemed to be very strong, and the panels were dented under the continuous impact, but the gate was still stubbornly strong.

Wang Jun's brows furrowed, could it be that the Ahamia people blocked the city gate?

With a single thought, Wang Jun's spiritual power exploded instantly, enveloping the entire city gate inside and outside.

Wo Cha!

The Ahamians were really perverted, and the inside of the thick gates was tightly blocked with stones and sand; The Ahamia, who were fond of defense, turned the door hole into a temporary wall just to be safe.

Jars of fire oil were poured down from the ruined towers, followed by torches; Wang Jun's pupils shrank, careless.

Dozens of Spartan militiamen and black Laus suddenly became "burning men", and the miserable screams almost drowned out the screams of the Ahamians at the head of the city; The remaining hundreds, leaving behind the thick logs that were on fire, all retreated along the pontoon bridge to the south bank.

Play with fire?

Wang Jun gave an order, and the trebuchet replaced it with "fire bombs" and began to bombard; Burning fireballs, dragging a short tail flame, fell on the city tower, 600 meters long ruined city tower, smoke filled, sparks splashed; And the 3,000-strong longbowmen continued to rain arrows and sweep all the living creatures on the city towers.

The battle was still fought by the Spartans against the Ahamia, because the Spartans used all ranged weapons; The Ahamians fought with stones and heavy arrows, but they couldn't beat the Spartans, and they were extremely depressed.

If you fall behind, you have to be beaten, and there is no need to explain.

By this time of the battle, the Spartans had lost only 20 helots and 18 militiamen, which was a minor wound for an army of tens of thousands.

The commander of the city of Patraminan, the boss of the Ahamia Army, was almost crying now.

The Spartans tried to harass the 6-kilometer-long city wall from east to west, and the 2.7-kilometer section to the east, and the 3,500 Ahaya warriors were unharmed, and because the middle section was tight, the Ahamia army commander urgently transferred 3,000 soldiers from here, leaving only 500 men to be on guard.

The 2.7-kilometer city wall in the western section was swept back and forth by the arrow rain storm of Astino, 54,000 heavy arrows, and greeted 3,500 Ahamia warriors enthusiastically; because they didn't know how to defend against heavy arrows, Ahamia warriors were accustomed to relying on the big round shield in their hands, resulting in heavy casualties; 747 people were killed on the spot, 978 people were seriously injured, and more than half of the battle losses were lost; the remaining half of the soldiers, many of them were slightly injured, of course, some of the warriors who had the protection of the goddess of luck did not have any.

The saddest of all, without doubt, is the 600-metre-long section of the city wall facing 30 trebuchets.

Large and small stones, destroying this section of the city wall; A third of the parapet wall has disappeared, and many of the towers have been sunken in the ground; Dense arrows, horizontally and vertically, covered the city tower; One fireball after another smashed into the tower, igniting arrows all over the ground.

The nearly 1,000 Ahamia warriors who had been in charge of the defense earlier had been wiped out; As far as the eye can see, there are no living people on the long city wall, large stones, small stones, broken arrows, charred corpses, bloody internal organs, strangely shaped severed limbs, and a slowly expanding fire.

Wang Jun suspended all attacks, and the city tower opposite was already full of smoke, and the fire looked not small, stretching for nearly 600 meters; There will be no more living people on the walls of the city.

2,000 black laborers carrying wooden rafts and logs poured onto the pontoon bridge, followed by 300 black laborers carrying various tools; The distance of more than 100 meters is not long, and after half a minute, everyone rushed to the city gate, and Ding Ding Dangdang began to build wooden steps; On the castle tower, the fire was still burning, tens of thousands of arrows and human fat became the best fuel, and the black laborers below did not have any pressure. Because the rafts were ready, the Black Labors moved quickly, and a 20-step wooden staircase 5 meters wide, 22 meters deep at the base, and 5.6 meters high gradually took shape.

The Ahamians had determined that the Spartans' main target was this section of the wall, and immediately drew 3,000 warriors from the undamaged eastern section of the wall; Fearing that the Spartans would notice their movements, the 3,000 warriors rushed west along the inner side of the city walls. The 3,000 Ahamia warriors who ran wildly all the way were lucky, and by the time they reached the place, a fire had already burned on the city walls; If they arrive so early, they will become roast suckling pigs.

Not to mention people, even God would not have thought that a city tower built entirely of stone would also catch fire?

3,000 Ahamia warriors stood helplessly in the open space inside the city wall, looking up at the smoky tower, staring dryly one by one; It seems that before the fire is extinguished, they will not be able to go up the building to defend it.

Fire suppression!

How to extinguish?

Not to mention where to find so many wooden barrels at one time, even if you find them, it will be a big problem to get water.

The nearest well is 500 meters northwest of the city gate, and the round trip is time-consuming and labor-intensive. This is usually out of the city gate is the river, and it is very convenient to get water, who will dig a well on the side of the river?

Well, now that the city gate is blocked, the Spartans can't get in, but the Ahamians themselves can't get out, and there is no way to get water!

On the eastern and western ends of the city walls, which were not affected by the fire, the Achanians spotted a large group of Spartans building wooden steps at the gates of the city, and immediately sent someone to report the danger.

What to do?

Commander Ahamia chose what he considered to be a relatively safe option.

On the inside of the 600-meter-long city wall, there is a 20-step stone staircase built next to the wall every 100 meters to facilitate the soldiers to go up and down the tower; Divide the 3,000 Ahamia warriors into 7 groups, send them to the 6 stone staircases, wait for the fire to weaken, and then rush up to the tower; The remaining 500 archers were arranged to form a team on the road more than 60 meters inside the city gate, and used the method of blind shooting at a large angle to attack the Spartans who were building wooden steps on the other side of the city wall.

This plan, in fact, is a good and feasible plan.

However, Wang Jun had been careless before, how could he be careless again now.

The spiritual perception was fully opened, and when the Ahamians on the inner side of the city wall began to mobilize their forces, Wang Jun understood the other party's intentions.

Astino, with 499 longbowmen, advanced more than forty meters and appeared on the pontoon bridge at the southern end, forming a formation in depth in five rows; The remaining 2,500 longbowmen still maintained a 600-meter-long queue, but they moved forward by more than 20 meters as a whole, and the front row had already stood on the edge of the south bank of the river.

The bowstrings are buzzing, and the arrows are whistling.

Astinos and the others changed their previous style of saving arrows, and as soon as they started this attack, it was a minute of accurate rapid fire.

36,000 heavy arrows, divided into 12 waves, connected from end to end, hit the sky.

Pingyueli, the 6-meter-high city wall provides solid and powerful protection;

But now, the 6-meter-high city wall obscures the view of the people in the city;

The 500 Ahamia archers had barely reached their positions, and before they had even begun their ranks, they saw the sky diagonally above the outer edge of the wall, covered with arrows that covered the sky; Being able to be seen by the Ahamians standing on the flat ground means that the arrow feathers have already flown about a third of the way at this time.

Compared to these 500 archers, the other 6 Ahamia warriors who stayed near the stone stairs in the inner city were even more aggrieved; Because the position of the station was relatively close to the city wall, by the time these warriors saw the "dark clouds" in the sky, the first wave of arrows had already flown half of the distance and had already begun to accelerate their fall.

Some of the Ahamia warriors with good standing positions and smart heads turned up their shields and ran towards the city wall, while more warriors reflexively turned over their shields and defended in place; The 500 archers on the north side of the city gate had no shields and had no choice but to flee in all directions.

Pity!

Regardless of the choice of the Ahamia warriors, they only have a few seconds to spare.

The first wave of heavy arrows mercilessly nailed the archers to the ground; And the warrior hiding under the round shield, before the shield and the people were pierced by the heavy arrows falling at high speed, suddenly realized that he was waiting for death to do this! In the past, many Ahamia warriors on the tower of the city were shot to death by the Spartans with shields on their heads.

Five seconds later, the second wave of heavy arrows landed with a huge kinetic energy; After that, a rain of arrows followed one another, seemingly never-ending.

The 3,000 Ahamia fresh forces who came to "put out the fire" survived for a full 1 minute in the heavy arrow storm in Sparta and were directly destroyed; Only some of the warriors who were close to the city walls survived, and the rest of the Ahamia warriors lay on the ground. The eyes of the dead, unwilling, are still open; Hurt, painful wow wow scream.

The fire that mainly relies on the horn wood arrow shaft to burn is fast and falls quickly, and the thin arrow shaft is easy to be ignited by fire bombs, but it is not resistant to burning. The 30 trebuchets resumed their work, and bags of skins filled with river water were thrown into the sky and headed straight for the towers; The number of skins was limited, and there were only a few hundred of them, but they were enough to make the fire that had begun to fall on the head of the city slam down again.

The pontoon bridge, which was more than 100 meters long, began to shake up and down violently, and Astinos retreated to the river bank with 499 longbowmen and gave way to the pontoon bridge; A large number of Spartan militiamen rushed to the opposite bank with a howl in thick wooden rows; At the end of the pontoon bridge, huge wooden steps have been completely built, and soldiers can easily rush up the 6-meter-high wall.

The trebuchets finally began to fall silent, and the longbowmen rested in place, and the rest of the battle was the work of the melee infantry.

Seeing his soldiers rushing to the city, one left and one right along the city wall to the east and west, the king's army relaxed; Picking up his longbow, Wang Jun locked onto the living Ahamia warrior with his powerful spiritual sense, and began his personal ultra-long-range projectile, one arrow at a time, never missed.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat; Twelve Roman hoplites rushed into the city of Patras after the Spartan Wehrmacht, and the king's army did not want to waste every resource.

The city of Patras, which had never fallen since its construction, poured in tens of thousands of Spartan soldiers, and the whole city wailed; Because some nobles and some high-status citizens were unwilling to become slaves, the revolt in the city rose one after another, and the cries of killing were endless; However, they were not facing the army of ordinary Greek city-states.

Without the protection of the walls, the Ahamians would face the Spartans directly, the most powerful warriors in the Peloponnese, and the most powerful army in the entire Greek territory.

By nightfall, the city of Patras had become the capital of the sixth administrative district of Sparta.
