Vol 6 Chapter 213: Siliting camp attack and defense (2)

"Don't worry, Heni. The general is called Tolmide. You grabbed his job and he will be upset." Daphus smiled and patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "You just served. My clerk needs to adapt slowly. Now the first task I gave you is --"
Henipolis immediately corrected his position and waited for Davers to order.
"It is to have breakfast with me," Daphus said narrowly.
"Ah! The enemy is about to attack, will you still have breakfast?!" Henipolis screamed with a bit of reprimand and let the servant glance at him: that is, Heinepolis dared to wear it like this. King Foss spoke, and the other generals were in front of Davers, who was not respectful!
Davers didn't care. He told the servant to go to the breakfast, then walked to the door and looked at the weather outside. Then he said, "Don't eat breakfast, how can you force it to kill with the enemy? Maybe, now the soldiers outside. Chewing bread, drinking hot soup to warm... A battle has its own laws and rhythms. We can neither slow nor rush, master the rhythm of action to better maintain the soldier's physical strength and morale!"
Henipolis seems to understand the nod.
Compared to the peace of the atmosphere in the larger account, the atmosphere in the camp is tense. Because of the thick fog, it is very difficult to see the flag of the detachment and the company. The squad leader is very important. He not only gathers the nine soldiers under his command, but also checks whether their weapons and equipment have problems, but also in the noisy camp. Distinguish the screams of the superior team officers, and then take the soldiers to the meeting, while avoiding being crowded in the passage of people.
A pile of bonfires were ignited in the camp. It was not just to bring light to the foggy and gray weather. The chefs who were heavy camps were cooking bread and gravy and hot porridge for the soldiers of each unit.
The reason why the soldiers of the Dionynia have not been urgently transferred to the east camp wall to defend against the enemy's attack, because the Syracuse people have not appeared in front of the trench. In the past few days, the soldiers of the Dionys have worked tirelessly. The traps and deer villages that were laid more than 60 meters in front of the camp have hindered the rapid advancement of the enemy.
Just as the Syracuse people accelerated the exclusion of these horrible traps by the cover of thick fog, nearly 40 artillery pieces of all the regiments were concentrated in the Dainian Central Army camp, and they were soon in place. The rifle was relocated along with the Taitung River’s north shore on the second day of the Siena court.
The fourth army squadron, the squadron of the 4th Army, who had excellent experience in the use of rifle, and the squadron of the squadron in Crotone City, was appointed by Davos as the commander of the entire artillery unit. official.
At the moment, there is a white front in front of Courdorod. No suspicious targets can be observed and the distance cannot be judged. But Courdolod's chest is well-founded, and the data is kept in his mind. How far is the gun position from the east wooden wall? How tall is the wooden wall? How long is the trap outside the camp? ......
After a little contemplation, he began to give orders: "50 degrees elevation angle, five kilograms of stone bombs, back three grids, ready!"
The commander quickly communicated the order to all the gunners in the area.
They immediately mobilized the struts of the rifle, lowered the chute, increased the elevation angle, and then rocked the pulley. The strong spring arm was pulled and fixed, and the five-kilogram stone was placed in a smooth groove. . Because of the limitations of craftsmanship and materials, the 50-degree elevation angle is the maximum elevation angle that can be achieved by the Danish gun. In this state, the parabola shot by the stone bomb is high, but the distance is close. Retreating three grids means that the spring group made of several tendons that are twisted together is pulled apart to a full extent. The five-kilogram stone bomb is the smallest of the type of stone that can be fired by the Venetian cannon (maximum weight is 15 kg, which is different from the Syracuse gun, due to Syracuse in Sicily Frequent attacks on other city-states, so the destructive power of the cannons on the city walls is high, and the guns are therefore larger and heavier, and can shoot a stone of a Tarantite (ie 26 kilograms) nearly 300 meters).
The idea of ​​Culdorod is: the morning fog of the West Rittal is large, the water is hot, the weather is cool, and it has a great influence on the structure of the rifle, especially the spring group made of beef tendons, so the small weight stone bomb is used first. To warm up the device and test the enemy's main force. His estimated location of the stone bomb is 80-120 meters outside the trench. If the enemy attacks a lot, then this area should be the most concentrated place of the enemy, but usually launches a five-kilogram stone bomb with a range of more than 500 meters, so he It is to raise the elevation angle and to relieve the tension of the spring group, that is, to achieve the desired range.
The soldiers of the First Legion sat on the ground, chewed the bread, looked up and saw one stone after another was shot into the air, disappearing into the dense fog...
For a moment, the dense fog outside the camp suddenly burst like a pot, and a scream and screams sounded, confirming the fact that the Syracuse army was attacked.
"50 degree elevation angle, ten kilograms, retreat, prepare!" Courdorod, the once gentle and elegant student of the Dionysian Academy, was tempered by the war and had a murderous body. The news of the hit did not make him cheer like his men, he continued to calmly give orders.
Yesterday, the first legion of the Dionya was bombarded by nearly 100 artillery and abdomen bows in Siracusa in the town of Meyaro, and today the Dionyns are in the same way outside the West Chamber. Also in color, the retribution is really coming too fast.
Dionysius didn't want to fight back with a cannon, but the rifle that he carried was brought to the camp of the Tacina di River because he wanted to attack the city of Crotone. The result was that the battle failed and the army only fled. All the siege devices were abandoned in the camp and fell into the hands of the Diaonians. It was not a problem to re-create dozens of guns in a short period of time with his engineers, craftsmen and apprentices who had nearly a thousand people, but there was a key squid device that the Syracuse could not make immediately. That is the cannon spring group made of beef tendons. They were surrounded by the Diaonians in the city. Few people kept the cattle and sheep in the city, and most of the army's beasts were lost in the camp of the Tacina di River, not to mention even if there were cows in the city, now killing cattle. It takes nearly half a year to make a qualified spring group, so Dionysius gives up making guns and concentrates on making other instruments.
At this moment, thousands of Syracuse slaves and free people are taking the time to destroy the traps and Luzhai, then flatten the land and lay the planks. The sudden stone bullets fall into the dense crowd, the head is broken and the blood is four. splash.
In fact, because the parabola of the stone bomb is high, it rarely rebounds after landing, and the total number of casualties is more than 20, but every image scares people around him, Syracuse’s team members. It took a lot of effort to barely stabilize their emotions.
Since they have been noticed by the Dionyns, the Syracuse people are no longer hidden, and they have begun to launch the good siege devices one by one. In order to make them, the Syracuse people almost smashed all the houses in the city of Siriting, collecting door panels, wood, and even chopping the trees in the port...
The largest device made in this is undoubtedly the activity tower of nearly six meters high. In order to allow these towers to be transported out of the city, Dionysius decided to organize the manpower and secretly unplug a small wall until it was completely overnight. Let it be a passage from the city to the outside of the city.
The reason why Dionysius dared to do this was because after getting the alarm from Locke, he realized that the embarrassing Dionyns built the camp and besieged the Silit, not to attack the city, but to blockade. Live in the Syracuse army and turn to the weak allies of Syracuse. In order to achieve this insidious purpose, the young Davers even used peace talks to paralyze himself (of course, he naturally ignored Syracuse is also using the peace talks to delay time)!
Syracuse certainly cannot allow Dionia to successfully reach their plan. Since the Dionysian army turned to attack the Rocky League, the troops stationed in the large camp outside the city of Siriting will naturally be reduced, and the Diaonians also built a huge military camp stretching for ten miles to surround the West Liting. Mtlnovel.com~ is even thinning the strength of Dionia...
Davers’s
arrogant arrogance
allowed Dionysius to see the opportunity to defeat the Dionysian army. These days, the Syracuse soldiers gradually recovered from the failure, and he also spent a lot of energy to persuade the tens of thousands of free people and slaves to join the ranks of soldiers with expectations.
Giving freedom, giving citizenship, giving land...
These methods can be done not only by Dionya, but also by Syracuse, but previously it was mainly for mercenaries, and this time Dionysius was defeated. Dionya, out of danger, has expanded the scope of application, and of course the most important reason for them to pick up their weapons is that everyone wants to live back to Sicily smoothly.
So when the nearly 2,000 light infantry of Dionia rushed to the wooden wall and began to throw a lot of arrows outside the foggy camp, causing many Syracuse people to die and die, they still panic, but still Without major confusion, it is basically possible to continue the task of leveling the defense facilities. The trap zone, which is less than a hundred meters in length, was quickly filled in with the tens of thousands of people working hard.
Then, these free people and slaves avoided the arrow rain and stone bombs, and the emperor retreated to the rear. Following the guidance of the shouters, he came to a place a few hundred meters away from the camp of Diogenia, where thousands of Thira stood. The Kuza civics formed a long, long course, with piles of sturdy spears and wooden shields on their front.
