Chapter 18 Front and Detour (Part 2)
"Everyone is smart and cooperate with the four doors below!" On the Eye Fort platform in the middle, Hebrida called the artillery team personnel to use the flame flag, whistle and military horn to indicate the target.
The artillery personnel, under the shield of the surrounding soldiers, first raised the flag of flames in the twilight. Suddenly, the entire Roman siege camp was silent. No one shouted loudly. Half of them dug trenches between the newly captured eyes, and half of them protected the cavalry artillery and the archer brigade, suppressing and shooting the fortress.
Then the artillery team members began to stand at the commanding heights, constantly blew whistles and horns, and set out "Jutia's Eyes" to the fortress to illuminate the target. The defenders were soon shocked. They felt that the enemy's artillery was too outstanding. These crossbows were close to the killing distance of the fortress, but the infantry covering them were very calm. Even under the blow of stones, they formed a shield formation to protect the fullness of the crossbow. The several surprises that rushed out of the secret door were all shot under the cold side of the archers behind the enemy's wooden fence, and under the mysterious lights that were hanging in the air, leaving behind numerous corpses, all of which were defeated.
The stone bullets shot from these cross-fires were first cross-fire, specifically to kill the defenders on the battlements. Many people had their heads cut off their heads as soon as they probed, or their intestines flew straight to the tower behind them. Then, magically, as if there was a sense, the shooting of the crossbow began to slowly concentrate on a certain section of the city wall, and continued.
The continuous fall of bricks and stone debris indicates that under the enemy's fire-gathering fire, the wall has reached a very dangerous situation. The defenders in the fortress began to reinforce and support them in sections with wooden boards and long wooden poles. Under the bonfire, there were constant figures of people screaming and falling from above. And the highest commander of the fortress, Otto Aarons (the leader of the Asia Portal, who is a standard Macedonian), also began to inspect everywhere in the rain of bullets, asking the translator to cheer in Egyptian dialect and Nubian, "Don't be afraid of the enemy's temporary arrogance. They have no water source and no stable supplies in this desert. We can easily annihilate them in the pursuit battle if we persist for two or three days."
"Master. Our stone bullets, bows, drinking water and food have been consumed!" After midnight, a steward of the army ran to the Eye Fort to report to the bloodshot Highbreda Collection.
"At the third whistle, allocate the remaining supplies to everyone and do a rotating rest." At this time, the four Eye Forts had been completely connected by the newly dug trenches, and Hebrida said, "About tomorrow, Petternius will deliver supplies to everyone, and the cavalry cannon will make the momentum more powerful!"
At this time, Petternius was almost exhausted, and he was escorting the baggage guards. After reaching the relay point set by Hebrida, seeing the flag of the tree here, the aged general hoarse voice and begging the armed soldiers and soldiers to say:
"Maybe someone should say, isn't this just for us to rest? But I say no, my thirty-year-old experience tells us that the key to the victory or defeat of this battle is not the commander-in-chief's commander-in-chief's siege, nor the siege of the Thirteenth Legion, but us, as long as we transport a bushel of wheat, water, javelins and stone bullets to the brothers ahead, I dare to bet you that you will have such a wish, that you will see with your own eyes the wheat you send is cooked, eaten by them, or that you see with your own eyes the stone bullets you send are stuffed into the crossbows How did the chute hit the enemy's walls? So we cannot be tired at all. Everyone must follow their mules, horses and camels, relying on the tents and fellow soldiers. Food and drinking water are sufficiently guaranteed, but the pace cannot be stopped. For rewards and land, soldiers must be generous for the spoils of war. I understand this age. What are our original identities? They are all regarded as poor slugs in the corner by those arrogant guys, but today's time to change their destiny has come, just as the commander-in-chief often told us, bring a lot of money in three years, and show them!"
In the starry night, Petneus's team endured the same great suffering and supported him at any cost. Many people even used the wine brought from the military camp to constantly scrub the body of the pack horses. In order to regain their energy, Petneus also dismounted himself and ran with everyone.
At this time, Li Bida's men had already arrived at the nostril of the evil god of Taifeng. Many people were so tired that they could no longer stand straight. Li Bida also hugged the owl's neck, and was so tired that he was retching to the bottom. His eyes were filled with Venus shaking and his ear drum was about to explode. Dussenvier waved and said, "Everything is attached to the cavalry brigade will be dismounted. Each horse leads two people and rushes over to me."
Then, whether it was war horses or pack horses (nearly one-third were injured halfway or even died), they were tied with cloth strips and ropes. The soldiers of the Thousand-Man Team and the Cavalry Team were held hand in hand and followed them. The horses followed the breath left by Anthony's troops, and led their partners on the battlefield to step forward in the terrifying evil god swamp.
At about noon the next day, they finally walked out. On the outer hillside, many people were lying on the ground upside down. Yes, it was the ground, the solid soil, although it was still so hot. This should be the back of the Perusim Fortress, a precious small oasis, which was to see the scattered palms, the scattered water and green, for many people, it had the wonderful purpose of resurrection.
Li Bida ordered the soldiers who could still sit up to eat on the spot. This time, they not only ate wheat cakes, but also dates purchased from the Red Sea Tribe and Herod the Great. Those who could stand up were sent to step on the calves that were lying down to prevent these people from turning their tendons in the upcoming battle.
"After resting for a day, continue to head into the oasis."
Li Bida, who was half lying, looked at the black smoke ignited everywhere in the distance from Rome, and realized that Anthony must be alive, and was directly facing the weak guard against the village behind Perusim, so we cannot delay it. We must not only ensure that this evil plague is the perfection of the deputy general of the Thirteenth Legion, but also shake the will of the defenders behind and force them to surrender as soon as possible.
