Chapter 200 The Way to Break the Game
Suddenly.
The loud horn sounded across the sky, and the Gauls burst into a roar.
Caesar and Anthony looked at each other, and turned their eyes to the Gaulian camp, and said together, "It's beginning!"
A Roman officer walked up to the city wall and commanded the Roman soldiers to prepare for design.
Under the protection of the personal guards, Caesar came to the middle of the camp to fight and began to issue military orders.
The battle has begun.
The Gauls rushed to the last line of defense in Rome like a tide. The Gauls who rushed in the front were blocked by traps and trenches. What greeted them were the javelins and arrows of Roman soldiers like storms.
The poor Gauls were trapped in front of the trench and attacked wildly.
The main direction of the Gauls' attack was to the east of the camp, and Lin Feng hurried to the north, but only met the tail of the strong attack, and occasionally some scattered troops were tested.
So he seemed very leisurely, standing on the wall of the camp, watching the busy scenes in the distance.
At this time, the Gauls outside the trench were still attacking one after another. Lin Feng was leisurely staying on the north side of the city wall, witnessing this strange but destined war that was forever destined to be kept in history.
The Gauls' reinforcements launched wave after wave of attack, but the trench that was five meters wide was simply an insurmountable trench. They were blocked from the attack and were inevitably exposed to the Roman javelins and arrows.
The calm Roman officer commanded the soldiers to launch round after round of projection attacks in an orderly manner.
Lin Feng climbed up an arrow tower and watched the fierce battle with the mentality of a bystander.
The Gauls who jumped out of the trench had just emerged from the ground and were attacked by the storm. Even though they had difficulty climbing out of the trench, they had to undergo the test of the second trench.
Under the suppression of Roman soldiers, the Gauls rarely approached the second trench, and the second trench was under high strength. The Roman soldiers above just needed to poke out and easily shot these Gauls into it.
The arrow tower where Lin Feng is located is located in the northwest corner of the high wall. The fierce battle in the east did not affect this place. The servants were busy carrying various bottles and jars into the arrow tower, which made no other archers in the arrow tower have a place to settle down.
But Lin Feng was a defensive staff personally permitted by Emperor Caesar, and those archers could only dare not speak out.
Finally, under the coordination of a Roman officer, except for the three archers, the rest of the archers were transferred to other places, which solved the complaint.
The cruel battle lasted only one morning, and facing the Roman trench, the Gauls did not seem to find any good solution.
The fortress troops in the encirclement had no chance to launch an attack, so they could only wait quietly for the opportunity to launch a fatal attack when they saw the Romans reveal their flaws.
With a long horn sound, the Gauls' army retreated like a tide, leaving only countless corpses and surviving breathlessly, and the Gaul soldiers were not killed.
On the Romans, the losses were minimal, and it could be said to be a big victory.
Lin Feng leaned on the railing of the arrow tower and watched leisurely as the Romans took away the wounded, and the seriously injured were sent to Zhao Yajing. She was taking a team of people there, waiting for the wounded to arrive.
At this time, the call of a Roman officer pulled Lin Feng's thoughts back.
"Caesar summons you," the officer said.
Following the officer to the big Caesar's tent, Lin Feng saw Caesar sitting on the steps in front of the tent and pondering. He didn't know what he was thinking, but Anthony beside him just waited quietly without disturbing him.
After a long time, Caesar spoke for a long time, "I really want to see your archery skills, but I heard that you didn't shoot an arrow in normal combat. Why?"
"Because the real battle has not started yet." Lin Feng said calmly.
"If you were the commander of the Gauls, how would you deal with my trench?" Caesar changed the subject.
"I will order people to cut down branches and fill trenches in large quantities."
"You are the same as I think." Caesar nodded.
Anthony, who was attending the audience, immediately understood what the two meant and added, "That means, when will the Gauls prepare enough branches and launch an attack again?"
"tonight."
Lin Feng nodded, agreeing with Anthony's speculation, and added.
In fact, Lin Feng is familiar with that period of history.
The fortress in the Asian fortress had only one month's stock, and the leader of the fortress made a wrong decision that ruined his reputation at the time.
He drove out all the old, weak, women and children, who wanted the Romans to beg, and even wanted to become slaves, asking the Romans to take them in.
But it was flatly rejected by Caesar.
As a result, these elderly, weak, women and children slept in front of the positions of the two armies and starved to death in a few days.
But even so, the food in the fortress of Asia was still insufficient, and after two months of persistence, it was basically empty. Therefore, the Gaul reinforcements must open the passage as soon as possible and use food to help them, otherwise Caesar will break through the siege.
The commander of the Gaul reinforcements certainly understood this, but the Gauls did lack quality in war, only the barbarian level, but only focused on personal toughness and seriously lacked discipline and organization.
Due to this weakness, the Gallics were very resilient to war and were far from being the opponent of the tenacious Romans in terms of willpower.
This made the Gaul commander dare not delay the war for too long, so he would inevitably launch another attack that night.
But……
Lin Feng knew that Caesar won the war by chance in history, but now Caesar lacks two legions of troops. Will the goddess of luck still favor him?
"I heard you have prepared a lot of grease, do you want to set fire?"
Anthony Caesar asked this question.
When they heard Lin Feng talk about "twigs", the two finally understood the reason why Lin Feng prepared so many bottles and jars, but they were not very sure.
Then he asked again, "But our army is in the valley. Even if you set fire to the outer trenches, thick smoke will gather here, and it will affect our soldiers. Is there any good way?"
"have."
There was no wind tonight, which really gave Lin Feng a headache, but he replied without hesitation, "If you have the 'Greek Fire', I might make the fire another barrier to the Roman army."
The so-called Greek fire is actually the oldest gunpowder invented by humans. If the oil and oil in the combustion aid of "Greek Fire" are changed to charcoal, then its chemical composition will be exactly the same as that of the black gunpowder later!
