Chapter 388
Chapter 387 attack
“Order the army to strengthen its defense. He will not run away without a fight.”
Li Wei said.
How many Germans they killed along the way, if Wufa didn’t even fight, then he would be the king of Germans.
Facing the dog-like Li Weiwufa has a headache, the Anglo-Saxon army has also arrived.
With the strength of the Teutonic tribe and some other tribes, his strength now exceeds 300,000.
Faced with the astonishing consumption of food every day, he knew he could not wait any longer.
“Send my order to attack the enemy camp from tomorrow.”
Wufa said solemnly.

***
The sun is shining and there is no cloud in the blue sky.
Wufa rode on the horse silently looking at the Roman barracks in front of him. Because it was close to the sea on one side and the river on the other, there were actually only two directions that could actually launch an attack, which greatly increased the difficulty of the offense.
And the trenches outside the barracks became three, located 50 meters away, 30 meters away, and under the city wall.
In addition to these, the walls of the Roman barracks became a very strange shape.
Their city walls are recessed inward from time to time, like a rhombus. What is this?
Wu Fa can’t figure out what this is. Since you can’t figure it out, let’s attack the city directly.
But he still needs to ask the priest before attacking, this is the custom of the Germans.
An old priest looked up at the sky, then kept shaking the clay pot in his hand.
After three times, the old priest opened his cloudy eyes.
“The gods told me that we can go to war today.”
After hearing this, smiles appeared on everyone’s faces, and maybe a good result will be achieved today.
Only Wu Fa had no expression on his face, as if he had anticipated this, he said to General Amboang: “You will attack first this time. Remember, don’t attack all-out first, this time it’s just a test.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
General Amboang said.
The Romans have already hit the door of the Amboang people, and he has no reason not to fight.
After receiving the order, a large number of Amboang people immediately began to prepare for the attack.
They uttered a weird roar called “Pull-out” according to the usual practice, predicting the outcome of the war.
But they found that the roar seemed very irregular and weak, which made General Amboang’s face a little ugly. Maybe today is not a good day for offensive.
Finally, under Wu Fa’s urging, they attacked.
Looking at the Germanic army attacking from a distance, Li Wei showed a faint smile on his face.
In order to deal with this war, he specially prepared a bastion. The bastion played a very important role in the ancient musket era.
Its essence is to turn the city wall into a concave polygon. This improvement makes the attacker exposed to more than one bastion surface (usually 2-3) regardless of any point of the attack on the castle, and the defender can use the cross Firepower performs multiple strikes.
And some bastions don’t like to use masonry, they prefer to use thick soil.
The thick soil easily absorbs the energy of the projectiles fired by the artillery, and makes itself thicker.
Bricks and stones are prone to ricochet and other situations, all of which made Li Wei choose a bastion.
Although Li Wei does not have a musket now, he does have artillery and grenades, as well as a large number of crossbows, which can be used to replace part of the musket.
In addition to the tiger squat guns placed on the earth wall, some large pits were dug behind the earth wall.
Those trebuchets are all in those big pits, and the main concern is that there will be a terrible explosion incident due to operational errors.
After watching the Germanic attack, all the Roman soldiers stood ready.
Wufa has a serious face. Facing the enemy’s god-given weapons, I hope that the performance of the Amboang people can be better.
When the enemy entered the range of the catapults, the catapults did not shoot.
Until they advanced fifty or sixty meters again, a soldier on the city wall immediately waved a small red flag.
After receiving the signal, the guards next to the catapult immediately swung the percussion hammer and slammed it on the catapult.
I saw shells weighing 150 kilograms flying into the sky, and then slammed heavily in the direction of the Germans.
Some Amboang people were unfortunately hit by a cannonball and then killed alive.
The shells continued to roll forward. Looking at these shells, the Amboang people fled in fear, because they already knew the power of these shells from the Teutonic population.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“…”
Those artillery shells made a terrifying explosion, and black clouds of smoke went up into the sky.
The Amboang people near the shells were almost blown to pieces, and a large number of small stones flew in all directions like a torrential rain.
These little stones easily penetrated one shield after another, and then killed one Amboang after another.
Almost every shell emptied the Amboang people in a radius of about forty meters, creating terrible death storms one after another.
Even forty meters away, a large number of Amboang people fell to the ground.
Seeing this apocalyptic scene, all German generals except Burton were shocked.
They knew that Li Wei’s god-given weapon was very powerful, but they never thought it would be so powerful.
Wu Fa held his hands so that his knuckles turned white. He had seen the power of a grenade before, and thought it was nothing more than that.
But now, I still underestimate Li Wei’s god-given weapon.
This is terrible, its power is amazing.
“This is… terrible witchcraft.”
said the old priest in fear.
Seeing that those Amboang people were about to retreat, Wu Fa said, “Send someone to inform them, don’t retreat. I want to see how many ways they defend the city.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Soon a messenger led away.
“Bring people from other tribes over to take a look, get used to the god-given weapons, and don’t be scared to pee on the battlefield.”
Wufa said coldly.
“Understand.”
Under the intimidation of Wufa, the Amboang people had to continue to attack, but at this time they were all impossibly trembling, and completely lost their usual bravery.
Burton couldn’t help but shook his head. The true **** gave the Romans so many excellent weapons, what are their gods doing?
Is it true that, as the Romans said, only true gods are gods in this world?
Those Amboang people resisted a large amount of soil and filled the soil into the trench fifty meters away from the city wall.
The Roman army above the city wall immediately fired with a ballista and kept shooting arrows at the same time.
Not only the crossbowmen were shooting arrows, but there were also a large number of Cretan archers and Armenian cavalry.
Armenian cavalry are also good archers. Not only do they shoot arrows on horses, they are also very good archers under horses.
A steady stream of arrows fell on the heads of Amboang, and more and more Amboang people were injured or even killed.
General Amboang watched all this with a heartbroken expression. Although it was only a test, he did not expect to have so many casualties.
It is estimated that there are no fewer than 2,000 casualties, and there are fewer than 100,000 adult men who can join the army.
At this moment, the artillery on the wall fired.
Nearly a hundred projectiles were fired from each artillery, and the dense lead shots shot down like a torrential rain, and then hit the Amboang people behind the trench.
“what!”
“what!”
“…”
Because it was launched from above, even some Amboang people standing behind were hit by lead shots.
These lead pellets easily penetrated the shields and animal skins, causing a rain of death among the Amboang people, and a large number of Amboang people screamed and fell.
There was blood everywhere on the ground, and some Amboang people kept wailing on the ground.
The guards reloaded very quickly, and then prepared to bombard again.
At this moment, those Amboang people can’t stand it anymore.
They fled back in horror, even the wounded.
The Roman soldiers on the wall cheered, and they killed the wounded soldiers one by one with their bows and arrows.
General Amboang roared angrily, and it was a shame for the Germans to leave their wounded comrades behind.
When he ordered some Germans to return to the battlefield to bring down the wounded soldiers, the wounded soldiers were almost dead.
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. This time I am incompetent. I am willing to accept any punishment. But please give my people some time. They need more time to adapt to the enemy’s god-given weapons.”
General Amboang said to Wufa with a look of guilt.
Wu Fa was still expressionless, so many people died in just one tentative siege, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.
“Well then, your people don’t need to step forward for the time being. General Anglo, your people will launch an offensive next. Remember it’s just a test.”
Wufa said.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
General Anglo said helplessly.
To be honest, he didn’t want to attack the Romans, but what can he do now?
Then a large number of Anglo people appeared on the battlefield and learned the lessons of the Amboang people. They were much smarter.
When crossed the artillery blockade, their formation became extremely sparse, and the damage caused by Li Wei’s shells was much less.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as it can cause damage to the enemy.
The artillery is still firing, killing a large number of Anglo people who are filling the pit, but the Anglo people are still filling the ditch regardless of life and death.
Li Wei’s face was a little serious, “It seems that the enemy is adapting to our war methods.”
“What does it matter, they will still fail.”
Lucias said with a smile.
“We can’t be careless. You see that the enemy is only sending out such a small amount of troops. It is obviously a test. I think some means can be hidden.”
Li Wei said, “In addition, we can think of ways to make them more difficult.”
“What are you going to do under Mian?”
Lucias said.
“I plan to send someone to attack the rear of the Teutonic and Chimburi in a few days. We can’t let them attack the city with all their strength.”
Li Wei said.
“Should you use sea boats to transport people over?”
Lucias’ eyes lit up.
“That’s right.”
“This is a really good idea.”
Lucias already remembered the sight of a large number of soldiers slaughtering all over the place behind the enemy.

In the middle of the night, the night was as cool as water. Except for a few people on duty, the barracks were quiet, and Wu Fa couldn’t sleep in sackcloth.
The war has been going on for five days, although he looks confident in front of everyone.
But who knows how much pressure he has endured.
In the past five days, he and Li Wei have fought wits and bravely, and kept sending people to test Li Wei’s god-given weapon.
Although their side lost a lot, they also gained a lot.
And he sent the German soldiers in turn to adapt to the so-called god-given weapons, at least they were not so afraid of the god-given weapons.
Their courage returned to the body again, and Wu Fa felt that this was his biggest gain these days.
As long as he recovers his courage, he believes that the Germans are invincible.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.
The next morning, he called the generals to start a military meeting.
“Everyone, after these days of fighting, you must have a good understanding of the Romans’ god-given weapons.”
“Although the weapons bestowed by gods are very powerful, they are far from the point where they cannot be defeated. We Germans are the greatest nation in the world, because we have extraordinary courage and powerful strength.”
“But look at the Romans. They are all small people. I can kill a hundred of them by myself.”
Wufa said.
Hearing this, the generals let out a burst of laughter.
The Romans have been ridiculed for their small size, not only by the Gauls but also by the Germans.
“We have found some ways to deal with the enemy’s god-given weapons. For example, sometimes we don’t have too many people when we attack, which can greatly reduce our casualties.”
“If you really die in the hands of a god-given weapon, I think it’s probably because we did something wrong and offended the gods, causing the gods to no longer protect us.”
“But I believe we will win the final victory. Our military strength has exceeded 400,000 these days. What we are facing is only an earth wall, and that earth wall is no more than two people tall.”
“As long as you cross this earth wall, then victory must belong to us. UU reading www.uukanshu.com do you know who Li Wei is in front of you?”
Wufa said.
All the generals nodded, even the Anglo and Saxons who had just arrived from the remote Baltic Sea were very familiar with his deeds.
“The first person in the history of Rome! Half of the territory of Rome was shot down by him! The Pope of the Romans! Endless honors have been added to him! But we are only one wall away from defeating him.”
“As long as we cross this wall, we can defeat him! The Romans will no longer be our opponents! We Germans will become the king of the world! The whole world will be surrendered to our feet! And all we have to do is to cross That wall!”
Wufa’s words made everyone listen with enthusiasm, yes, as long as they cross the earth wall, they can win victory and even become the king of the world. What’s the problem?
“Do you have the confidence to cross the dirt wall that is only two people high?”
Wufa roared loudly.
“Have!”
“Have!”
“Have!”
“…”
The generals roared.
“Then give it to me now. From now on, we will launch a full-scale attack. We must not stop the attack for a moment.”
“We will never give up unless we defeat the Romans or capture Levi alive!”
Wufa said excitedly.
