Chapter 403
Chapter 402 Attack on Dragon City
“is it?”
A light flashed in Caesar’s eyes, and he felt more and more that this kind of thing might have something to do with the god-given weapon, maybe he should check the time of purchasing this kind of thing.
But what he didn’t know was that his words were quickly reported by the slave.
After more than ten years of operation, Dragon City has long been managed by Morris like an iron bucket.
Not only bait everywhere, but every relevant person needs to report all the inquirers up.
“Caesar? Send someone to pay more attention.”
Morris said with bloodshot eyes.
The recent influx of a large number of outsiders has increased his workload a lot, but most people cannot enter the inner city. He can only focus on those who can enter the inner city, and Caesar is one of them.

“Rome is torn apart by us.”
Door Muse sighed and said.
“You are right, but it’s a pity that I started it too late, and finally let the holy religion succeed.”
Katilin said with a gloomy face.
Very few Roman citizens who believed in the Holy Religion fled, most of them announced that they had converted to Roman Polytheism, but they all knew what was going on.
Every day, homeless people yell at him. Without the help of the charity aid, they will be in trouble again, and maybe one day they will die in a corner that no one knows.
Even the poor are very dissatisfied with them, because they can’t receive the free breakfast in the church. Katilin knows all this well, but what can he do?
“Let’s stop thinking about this, let’s kill Dragon City as soon as possible.”
Door Muse said.
“Pompey and Crassou haven’t come back yet?”
Katilin stared into Menmuse’s eyes and said.
“No, Parthia is launching a fierce attack on them, they can’t get away.”
Muse muse said quietly.
“So far you still want to hide behind? Are you afraid of Li Wei’s hole cards? I heard he has No. 2 tactics, No. 3 tactics.”
Katilin smiled sarcastically.
Muse raised his eyebrows, and finally said: “Artillery and special ammunition are their No. 2 and No. 3 tactics. You don’t have to worry at all.”
“Hahaha! Hahaha!”
Katilin couldn’t help laughing. Such an ally is really chilling.
“In this case, let’s go to Dragon City. I hope you can bring enough god-given weapons.”
Katilin said.
“Don’t worry about that, we have stored a certain amount of gunpowder.”
Muse laughed.
He didn’t lie to the muse this time. They have been offering huge rewards for the production method of saltpeter. The last merchant who traveled along the Silk Road said that he had seen this kind of thing in the East.
Because he had seen ice made of saltpeter in the summer, he was very impressed.
After learning the news, Pompeo and Crassus were in ecstasy.
They sent several caravans to the east. Just six months ago, one of the caravans returned, and they finally learned how to make saltpeter.
Unlike Li Wei, they extract saltpeter from saltpeter mines.
Just because of time, some projects have not been rectified.
“This is really great. I want to expose Li Wei’s lies. This is by no means a god-given weapon. It is a weapon that everyone can control.”
Katilin said with a smile.
Muse’s mouth twitched. Now that the Shengjiao has said that sugar and true **** paper are all god-given things, how can they believe your words?
After negotiated, the two led 20 legions to Dragon City, and another legion was ordered to stay in Rome to continue conscription.
After several years of meticulous preparation, their weapons and armor reserves are very sufficient, coupled with the sufficient funds provided by the treasury and various nobles, so the formation of legions far exceeds the speed of Dragon City.
They did not encounter any obstacles all the way south, Emilia ordered all the cities to be abandoned. This did not make them happy, but rather worried.
Because the more this happens, the stronger the enemy’s forces in Dragon City will be, and the greater the resistance they will encounter when attacking Dragon City.
After coming to Dragon City, both Menmuse and Katilin were frowning.
I saw that there were layer after layer of trenches everywhere outside the Dragon City, extending to hundreds of meters outside the city.
The outermost earth wall of the Dragon City is lined with ballistas, and behind the earth wall there is a trebuchet turret made of blue bricks higher than the earth wall.
“How many people have they mobilized?”
Door Muse couldn’t help but wailed.
“This is their base camp. There is absolutely no shortage of manpower.”
Katilin said.
“Let’s order people to fill in these trenches.”
Door Muse said.
Katilin nodded, and then ordered the soldiers to move and dig soil from other places to fill the trenches.
At this moment, a cavalry ran over on a horse.
“Report to the dictator, Kapuya’s door is wide open, no one is defending, only a small number of guards are maintaining law and order. However, the city is sparsely populated, and there are not many people in sight.”
said the cavalry.
The two looked at each other, Emilia was really ruthless, not even Capuya, that was Li Wei’s base camp.
“So they deployed all their troops to Dragon City.”
Men Muse looked like a headache.
“This is likely to be the case. According to your information, although their weapons and armor are somewhat insufficient, they already have 15 legionnaires. It is not an ordinary difficulty to break the Dragon City guarded by 15 legions.”
Katilin said.
Men Muse nodded, if they are not afraid of field battles, they will shrink.
Once Li Wei led the army to return, plus the reinforcements sent by various countries, they would be dead.
“We must break the Dragon City in the shortest time.”
Door Muse said.
“That’s right.”
Katilin’s eyes became firm.
Katilin did not order the soldiers to enter Kapuya, because he did not believe in the Kapuya, but ordered the army to camp outside the city.
He ordered the soldiers to fill in the trenches and prepare for war.
After three days of hard work, they filled the trenches in three directions so that personnel and siege equipment could pass through.
A blazing sun hung high in the sky, and after May, the weather became even hotter.
A carrier pigeon flew into the Dragon City dumbfounded, and soon someone took a letter and handed it to Emilia.
After reading the letter, Emilia was overjoyed.
“Whose letter is it?”
Serabio asked.
“Levy’s letter, he has returned to Gaul, and he is going to return to Rome. The Gaul and Germans have also dispatched more than 100,000 coalition forces, plus the Roman army is close to 200,000. Among them, Belieus led The cavalry is the fastest, and it is estimated that they have reached Shannan Gaul province. Li Wei ordered him to lead the cavalry back to Rome without waiting for the infantry.”
Emilia said, and then handed the letter to everyone.
“This is great, we just have to stick to it for a while.”
Serabio said excitedly.
“They are simply seeking their own way of death, and they dare to do it right with us only by this little bit.”
Plautus also said with a smile.
“It’s not just them, Pompeo and Crassou have to pay the price.”
Cicero said.
“This is too far away, let’s talk about the immediate matter first.”
Emilia coughed and said.
At this moment, a guard came in.
“Report Madam, Getta said they seem to be attacking the city, please come and take a look.”
“Go, let’s go now.”
Emilia said, and then left with everyone.
After arriving at the outermost wall, they found that a large number of enemy troops had gathered outside the wall, and they had prepared a large number of siege equipment, including not only siege vehicles, but also turtle-shaped machinery, etc.
Getta is here looking at the enemy in the distance. Since the outbreak of the war, he has been patrolling around dutifully.
“How is the situation now?”
Emilia asked.
“They are currently preparing to launch an offensive in the north, west, and east directions, but due to their insufficient strength, they have no ground to achieve a full-scale offensive. I guess it might be a two-way feint and one main attack.”
Getta said.
“Can we stop it?”
Emilia asked.
“There is absolutely no problem, we have God-given weapons.”
Getta laughed.
“Li Wei said that the production of gunpowder is actually not complicated. Last time we had two carts of saltpeter stolen. I am worried that they would make gunpowder to deal with us.”
Emilia said.
“Just don’t worry, I have ordered to go on, the soldiers have already been mentally prepared.”
Getta said.
“I can rest assured, I have good news. Li Wei’s cavalry has entered the southern province of France and will soon enter Italy.”
Emilia said with a smile.
“Really, this is great.”
Getta grinned and laughed. This is probably the best news today.
At this moment, a cavalry outside the city stepped forward.
“On the order of Lucius Cornelius, the ruler of Rome appointed by the gods of Olympia, the lifelong dictator Lucius Cornelius, I will ask you a word. Residents of Dragon City, you really have to resist Is it true? If you are willing to give up resistance, the dictator is willing to guarantee the safety of your lives and property, and can even allow you to continue to live in Dragon City. This is a rare gift, and I hope you can consider it carefully.”
Emilia frowned and thought about it for a while and said loudly: “We are devout believers of the true God, and we will never let anyone insult the true God and the holy religion. Katilin, you dare to expel the holy religion, just wait. God punish, think about offending the true God’s end. In addition, I want to tell you one thing. The army under the crown of the Pope has entered Shannan Gaul and will soon cross the Rubicon. You are destined to usher in a battle. Shameful failure.”
Hearing this, many people were in a commotion.
They still have fresh memories of the divine punishment incident, and they did not expect that Li Wei had left Britain and came to the southern province of France. This speed is too fast.
“Even if Li Wei goes back to Rome in person? Do you think he can defeat us by God-given weapons? I tell you, the so-called God-given weapons are simply fake, they are lies made up by Li Wei, that’s just It’s just an ordinary weapon. I’ll prove it to you in a while, and we also have God-given weapons.”
Katilin said loudly.
Soon the cavalry could not help relaying his words.
“Katilin, do you dare to make a face? Tell us who stole our god-given weapon last time? On the one hand, steal the secrets of our god-given weapon, and on the other hand, say that our god-given weapon is fake. , I have never seen such a brazen person.”
Getta said loudly.
Hearing this, Katilin couldn’t help but furious, and was not interested in persuading them, so he cursed directly: “Guita, you wait for me and siege the city for me.”
After receiving Katilin’s order, his army immediately moved forward.
A large number of soldiers pushed the tortoise-shaped machine forward slowly. In addition, there were soldiers carrying baskets of soil to fill the trenches.
“Should we use God-given weapons.”
Plautus said.
“Of course, but for the time being, we set the target on those tortoise-shaped machines. We don’t have much gunpowder. We must save a bit and let the ballistas shoot at them.”
Getta said.
Hearing this, Plautu was extremely excited, and could finally see the god-given weapon firing live ammunition.
Although I have seen training bullets shooting before, how can the power of training bullets be compared with live ammunition.
The ballistas soon started shooting, shooting arrows as thick as javelins at the soldiers who were filling the trenches.
The powerful arrow easily pierced the body of a soldier, shooting terrible holes in them.
The trebuchets also aimed at the slow-moving turtle-shaped machinery. When they entered the firing range, they immediately smashed the percussion hammer, and shells flew into the sky.
Some of those shells hit the tortoise-shaped machine severely, almost smashing a hole out of the tortoise-shaped machine.
Some smashed in front, and kept rolling forward, then they were blocked by the tortoise-shaped machine, and there was a huge explosion.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“…”
The black cloud of smoke went straight up into the sky, the conflict wave raged, and shrapnel flew everywhere.
The tortoise-shaped machines were almost all blown up. A large number of soldiers screamed, and soldiers approaching a small half of the football field were swept away.
Seeing this, the soldiers on the city wall were shocked, and the soldiers in Katilin were shocked.
This is the power of the god-given weapon, it is simply not terrible.
The attacking soldiers dropped what they were holding in fear, and then fled back embarrassedly.
The soldiers on the wall cheered, and Geeta looked regretful. If he attacked at this time, he might be able to win a big victory.
Katilin’s face is green, why is it like this?
“Why don’t your god-given weapons have such shells.”
Katilin asked.
“This thing is too dangerous, our people haven’t studied it yet, so we only used grenades.”
Door Muse said helplessly.
They don’t understand the principle of gunpowder at all, and they don’t even know that there is such a thing as training bombs.
In the process of experimentation and training, I made many mistakes. I don’t know how many people died. It can be said that the experiment is using human lives.
Therefore, the progress of the catapult shells is far behind the grenades, and now only the simplest grenades can be put into actual combat.
Katilin glanced at him coldly, an unknown light flashed in his eyes, but in the end he just snorted and didn’t blame him.
