Chapter 201 Fierce battle!
In the Persian War hundreds of years ago.
The Greek Navy defeated the Persian Navy because it relied on black gunpowder, so that the formula of this gunpowder was later regarded as the highest military secret and kept for hundreds of years.
Later, it was taken to Persia by a Greek traitor and then introduced to Arabia, so it was called the "Greek Fire".
When Caesar was poisoned in the province, he led the navy to invade Great Britain. He could not have known this secret weapon of the navy.
But knowing that it is one thing, but it is actually another.
After all, under the technical conditions at that time, it was not easy to create a "Greek fire".
So when he heard this word, Caesar's eyes suddenly lit up, but it soon became dimmed again.
"Maybe you are right, the Greek fire can help us defend, but the configuration of the Greek fire requires several ores, and we cannot find the ores at present." Emperor Caesar said regretfully.
Because the flammable aids of 'Greek fire' are petroleum and grease, they are extremely flammable and are very difficult to store and transport, so they are usually temporarily configured when needed.
Caesar may have never thought that the Greek fire was used for defense before, so he did not prepare any related ores. Now that he has arrived at this point, it is too late to prepare.
Lin Feng opened his mouth, originally thinking that he knew the simple method of making "Greek Fire", but he quickly took it back when he said that.
Just kidding, the recipe for the "Greek Fire" at that time was the highest secret, and it was not even allowed to record the recipe on paper. It was passed down by word of mouth for hundreds of years. If he spoke the recipe, it would inevitably lead to a disaster.
However, Lin Feng's desire to speak was stopped, which aroused Anthony's alertness. Even Caesar's gaze at him revealed a faint hostility.
Caesar waved his hand and asked Lin Feng to retreat, but relying on the detection of the belt, Lin Feng still heard the whispers between Caesar and Anthony.
"Will he be a spy sent by a country to steal the recipe?" Anthony asked.
"Supervise him." Caesar replied.
Lin Feng walked farther and farther away, but his heart felt a sense of powerlessness.
The trajectory of history is so heavy, is it really irreversible that everything in front of you?
After a while, Lin Feng heard Caesar's words to himself, "Oil and oil... Anthony, does our siege force carry enough oil?"
If we want to hide the secret recipe of Greek fire, it is a good idea to burn with grease, and I don’t want to suspect a warrior for no reason…”
at night.
The Gauls did launch a second impact.
This time they brought a look of branches to fill the trench, and many other Gauls also carried huge trees to charge, which was the tool they used to hit the high walls.
Under the fire, the Gauls went over and over two trenches and went straight to the Romans' walls.
At the same time, the Gaul generals who learned the lesson changed all the follow-up troops to archers. They stood in front of the first trench and launched a shooting against the Roman soldiers to suppress the Romans' defensive counterattack.
All day long, Lin Feng just took a nap in the tent. In the evening, he stood on his arrow tower with energy and waited for the attack to arrive.
At this time, the Arrow Tower became the target of "key care" of the Gauls, and the casualties of Roman soldiers began to increase rapidly. The wounded soldiers were carried down the Arrow Tower one after another, allowing the reserve archers to top them.
In a short while, even the Arrow Tower on the north side of the main attack direction was affected, and the archers around Lin Feng had already changed three or four batches.
The bottles and jars in the Arrow Tower restricted the soldiers' space to hide, especially before the war started, Lin Feng set up countless wooden boards to cover the jars, making the Arrow Tower look even narrower.
In the previous waves of offensives, Lin Feng ignored the casualties of others and focused on inserting arrows on the wooden board, which attracted more casualties from the soldiers.
Finally, when the fourth wave of the Gauls attack finally pushed under the camp wall and was about to hit the high wall with a giant tree, Lin Feng moved.
Without warning, he kicked the wooden board full of arrows, causing the board to tilt up, then reached out to take an arrow from the board, opened and closed the bows. With a "swoosh", the arrow hit the leg of a person carrying the giant tree, causing the giant tree to tilt and pressed heavily on the feet of others.
"ah……"
A series of tragic cry suddenly rang out.
Whoosh!’
The second arrow was taken, and a Gaul man holding a torch next to the good dog was caught in an arrow in front of him. He screamed and fell to the ground, and the torch fell to the ground.
‘Swoosh swish swish…’
Arrows were shot one after another by Lin Feng, and in the blink of an eye all the arrows nailed to the wooden board were shot on the Gauls. Lin Feng's sharp arrows were very tricky and always shot the person holding a torch, letting the torch fall into the trench and ignite the branches.
This was not all. After shooting the arrow, Lin Feng threw the oil tank in the arrow tower into the trench, which immediately triggered a raging fire.
Then, the Romans' catapults also showed their power.
Crockpots flew around, and after they fell to the ground, the splashed oil was ignited, and the fire quickly opened its eyes, turning the entire outer trench on the east side into a raging fire wall.
The fire blocked the follow-up troops of the Gauls, and the Gauls who had crossed the second trench were blocked by high walls and various wooden stake blades, so they could only watch the Romans kill them.
The Gauls' generals were obviously determined to take over Caesar's legion. He did not choose to retreat, but continued to command the Gauls to launch attacks from other defense lines, and the north side was within the range of their attack.
You should know that the troops on the north side are all servants, and their combat ability and consciousness cannot be compared with the Romans. After several waves of impact, the front was shaking.
"The Gauls rushed under the wall!"
A terrifying cry came from a distance, which immediately triggered a commotion.
"Counterattack!" Lin Feng shouted.
In the dark shadow, it was impossible to tell who the voice came from, but Lin Feng's authentic Roman accent was full of majesty, and the Servant Kingdom could only respond weakly.
"Where is the reserve team!" Lin Feng shouted.
"I'm here!" Anthony showed up on time with the reserve troops. He commanded a team of Roman soldiers to climb to the high strength, replenishing the defensive gap caused by casualties.
You should know that the reserve force is the key to this battle. It is precisely because Caesar put the reserve force at the critical moment, and the Gauls did not retain the reserve force, so no one was available at the critical moment and eventually defeated.
