Augustus Under the Horseshoe

Vol 2 Chapter 374: : The bad news in the distance

At the same time, in the west of the defensive line, the catapults of the six legions were also gathered together, and the number was not inferior to that of Sassanian Persian war machines. Many catapults, even in the past few months, Forged and enchanted by Marshal Peturabo himself.

The soldiers of the Auxiliary Corps pushed carts of huge stone projectiles from the rear, learning the appearance of their old opponents, and tied sheets of flexible animal skins full of dead branches and fallen leaves to the appearance of these boulders. Sprinkled with a little death anger from Greece, hundreds of flaming boulders also rushed into the high clouds, enveloping the boundless anger of the legion, and fell in the deafening roar on the siege of Tevrin. In the battlefield!

The exquisite trebuchets were smashed by the huge boulders falling from the sky. Pieces of broken wood chips were also ignited by the elves' anger. Those ammunition **** with flammable items were instantly ignited by flames, bursting into bunches of straight. Yunxiao's pyrotechnic pillars, in one round, destroyed nearly one-third of the opponent's siege equipment.

"boom!!!"

Half-humans and half-devils who have certain flame resistance and are not afraid of flames, reload the trebuchets that have not been destroyed in the flames. Adjusting the angle, across a layer of burning outer wall, bombarding the slings of the Roman Empire within the line of defense.

Several wizards frowned, preparing to use a wall of force field to block the flames and slings of the opponent. However, hundreds of feet away, there was a sudden gleam of arcane brilliance, and the Master Teflin stared at them a long time ago. , Immediately countered and disintegrated their spells, allowing the meteor fire rain of one's own side to also hit the Roman legion's siege equipment, destroying and igniting the opponent's war machine.

"Don't retreat! Keep bombarding."

Peturabo shook his handsome flag indifferently, and ordered the soldiers of the auxiliary legion to continue to control the catapult in the flames to return colors to the enemy.

From the magnificent territory of the empire, the commander has gathered tens of thousands of craftsmen and apprentices to build war machinery day and night.

Fight consumption? Zhan Shuai is not afraid at all. Behind them is the support of more than half of Asia Minor and the entire Greek world. Behind Sassanid Persia, there is only one province of Chiriqia that has just been recovered and has an unstable population. Counting the time, Faugan’s ten legions have cut off the Sassanian Persia land and the road to Chiriqia. .

In the fierce war, the siege machines on both sides were destroyed, accompanied by the sound of the horns that shook the earth, and the bloodthirsty roar, the endless army of wolves, and a large number of The hyena, like a tawny savage wave, smashed out of the eastern position mightily.

These monsters, wearing animal furs, holding battle axes and wooden shields, were bathed in the sea of ​​crossbows that the Romans obscured the sky, and moved forward quickly, leaving blood corpses all over the ground on the way to the charge.

The bloodthirsty beasts, following the terrifying cracks smashed by the trebuchet, flooded into the west of the defense line mightily, and the heavy battle axe kept breaking and expanding the scars on the wooden wall. For the cavalry on the side, a way to charge was reserved.

"For the Empire!!!"

On the other hand, under the guidance of a scarlet eagle flag, a group of heavily armed Legionnaires advanced well, accompanied by the sound of uniform footsteps, blocking the front and sides of the fissures. All enemy forces rushing in must face a three-sided flanking attack! The overwhelming heavy throwing spears, and the cross firepower composed of them, shot all the wolves that rushed in front into a **** sieve.

Although the number of the Fourth Runners-up is at a disadvantage, the contact area of ​​the entire defense line is not large, and the number of jackals cannot be used at all. The soldiers of the Fourth Legion, with their sophisticated equipment and unparalleled fighting skills, contained the unending beast frenzy outside the line of defense, with blood-stained scarlet cloaks floating in the wind. , From a distance, it looks like a sacred flame that never goes out.

With the passage of time, the flesh and blood corpses of the jackal almost piled up into tall mountains, blocking the original cracks, and the subsequent soldiers had to pull out the ropes and scratch them. After clearing the sea of ​​dead mountains and blood in front of him, the momentum of the attack was severely frustrated by the enemy.

After these hyenas cleaned up the corpses, countless death tides composed of crossbow arrows and javelins roared through the cracks of death, and among the dense army, ploughed a **** ravine!

Finally, after the jackal hit a **** head in front of the Fourth Legion, he no longer had the thought of fighting, and wailed and fled to the rear, exposing his back to the eyes of hundreds of shooters.

Accompanied by the sound of bowstrings, the roar of arrows, the roar of soldiers' red eyes, and the retreating enemy troops, they fell like weeds, and their backs were densely packed with steel arrows. After paying a heavy price, these cannon fodder only consumed the empire's ammunition and soldiers' physical strength, and hardly killed anyone.

"Cuckoo! Battle Commander Peturabo! Fogen, the lord of the Third Legion, has already brought ten legions to the east of Cilicia. You stay in the steel cage for more than a month. When they smash through the entire Chiriqia province, the scarlet demons will be trapped between the two ruinous armies of the empire! Ha! Capturing a king of kings, throughout history, such feats are quite rare. Good luck! Cuckoo!"

Suddenly, a burst of communication from the Dove Whispering Court came directly into the mind of the Lord of the Fourth Legion, causing the solemn and silent face like a metal to gradually bloom into a dangerous and hideous grin.

"It's done! This is the time to wait!"

Petura slapped his thigh fiercely, and a few days later, the **** pigeon whispering court finally heard good news.

"Cuckoo! By the way, didn’t you say that Augustus was going to take the forbidden army and expedition to the front line personally, to fight the **** Teflin? Now, we are missing a whole navy fleet here, and a whole Soldiers of the two legions! Very dangerous! I beg you to report to your majesty and cancel your trip. Cocoo!

Peturabo conveyed his concerns back to the heart of the empire, but after a long time, the mage of Dove whispered a terrible news.

"Gu Gu Gu, the Augustus plan of personal conquest was cancelled. The following news is only to tell the commander Zhan, please don't publicize it: Dear Felavius ​​Arcadius Augustus, Yu Junshi Tantinburg is critically ill."
