Vol 8 Chapter 132: Storm in Rome (4)

But from the early morning, the battle is completely different from what Pullo Cassius envisioned.
The Dionys launched ten artillery rounds on the other side and began to launch stone bombs. When the stone bombs leaped into the Tiber River and fell into the Roman array, causing casualties, Cassius had to order the soldiers to disperse and then evacuate. In a residential area 50 meters away from the embankment.
He believes that even if the Dionyns rushed forward through the vertebral bridge, the Roman soldiers still had enough time to rush to intercept the enemy outside Rome.
The cannons of Dionia no longer attacked the Roman soldiers hiding in the house and instead bombarded the four towers on either side of the quasi-opposite bridge.
There are always two or three stone bullets in each round that can hit the tower. The roar of the sound makes Cassius feel worried. He has to urgently order the archers who are stationed on the tower to quickly withdraw. .
His concerns are correct.
After more than ten minutes, the two crumbling towers closest to the vertebral bridge finally fell down... Then Dionya's artillery team focused on the outermost two towers.
Cassius and the soldiers watched one stone after another bombarded on the tower, causing the four towers to finally fall, making a scream of sorrow, stirring up the dust, the feeling of powerlessness in the heart can be imagined, they even I hope that the Diaonians will attack immediately and fight close to them, so that they do not have to hear and see this terrible stone bombardment.
However, when the Dionyans had completely destroyed the tower's high-altitude advantage, the tower, with a cannon, they stopped using the gun.
The battlefield that suddenly fell silent made the Romans wonder.
At this time, the third army leader, Lizaru, who was standing on the other side, said to the third fleet naval commander Miladodes: "The other legions have started to attack the city of Rome, and we should start preparing."
"Do not worry, I will soon be able to set up 20 pontoons for your army. The crew can't wait!" After that, Midolades immediately rushed to the west bank of the vertebral bridge.
There are trenches in the outskirts of the river beach, built with wooden barriers and wooden fences. There are rows of tents inside, and 40 crow warships are neatly parked by the river, their heads facing the river.
After Midorades issued the order, the crew of the warships immediately boarded the ship, and everyone was there.
Then, the soldiers of the Third Legion also came over and joined forces to push the ship into the river.
Then, these warships were not the beginning of a row of bees. The first ship was next to the south side of the Roman vertebral bridge and was fully drawn to the opposite side.
After the sailors of the second ship crossed the battleship, they tried their best to stop the stern on the shore. For this purpose, the siege battalion specially made a lot of long wooden poles for the sailors sitting on the left and right sides of the warship, so that they would It is supported to the bottom of the river to stabilize the impact of the current on the ship, keeping its bow facing the opposite shore, and its stern is immediately fixed to the shore with wooden stakes and ropes.
In the sea, the small three-layer paddle warships on the Tiber River are as big as dragons. The crow warships with an average length of more than 50 meters are struggling under the sailors. The ship quickly touched the opposite side. embankment.
The operators on the deck immediately dropped the anchor, and the sailors on the right side of the hull quickly pulled back the paddles, and pulled out the long wooden poles that were prepared early on the bilge, tilting out the paddles and pressing against the river. bottom.
Since this section of the Tiber River is the widest than 100 meters, two boats have a bed at the north bank and a ship on the south bank. There is a natural overlap between the two ships. When the sailors of the second ship tried their best to move the bow to the stern of the first ship, the ship's operators took the opportunity to put down the suspension bridge.
The tip of the suspension bridge pierced the deck of the first ship's stern. Although the captain and the sailors felt heartache, they connected the two ships together; the third ship and the fourth ship. The same operation; the fifth warship and the sixth warship... Not long after, nearly 20 "pontoons" were built on the banks of the Tiber River on the west side of the Roman vertebral bridge, only need to The suspension bridge near the opposite side of the warship was laid down, placed on the embankment, and immediately connected to the north and south sides.
Lizaru watched the whole process at the north side of the bridge. He cheered loudly for the third fleet to complete the planned plan. Of course, he knew: Yesterday afternoon, Midolades led more than a dozen ships in the river below the river port. Repeated testing and training have been carried out so that today's success will be achieved.
Looking at a part of the Third Army on the riverbank, the soldiers quickly divided into 20 teams and began to board the ship. Lizaru’s heart flashed a little regret: Unfortunately, the crow warship could not pass the vertebral bridge because of the high mast, otherwise it could The river on the east side of the vertebral bridge also erected a "ship pontoon", which could force the Roman army on the other side to expand the width of the defense and add more weight to the smooth attack of the army.
Lizaru, however, gave a little emotion and immediately turned his attention to the battlefield that was about to begin.
"Urazza!" Lizaru turned and said to the third leader of the Third Army, Shen Sheng: "You lead the first team, killing the bridge from the past and killing Rome. This is what I ask for you!"
Ulazar, the former leader of the small tribe of Lucania, the childhood friend of Bagul, who became a veteran of the Senate as long as he was with Kexi and Lizaru a few years ago, but he did not choose He served in the legion, but continued to stay in the Legion, compared to Bagul, who has served as the chief executive of the key towns in Dionia, and won the Daves and the veterans with outstanding performance in the position of the Chief Executive of Copsa. Acclaimed Ke Xima, and Lizaru, who has already served as the head of the army and has repeatedly made great achievements. Ulaza is just a big captain. The light is too dim. He stayed in this position for five or six years. It is because he likes to fight and he is only good at fighting.
After listening to Lizhar’s orders, Urazza did not hesitate. Instead, he replied with excitement: "You will be stunned by the head of the army. The first team will open the door to victory for the legion!"
Later, he shouted at the first group of soldiers who had already been in the array: "The warriors of Lucania, the time to show your courage and ability to all the legions here, to the majesty! Kill the bridge and destroy enemy!"
The Third Army’s source is mainly from the Lucania region, and the Lucania region’s center is in Grumendum, but the first brigade’s soldiers are mainly from Niutum, the earliest belonging to Dionia. In the town of Caña, the Niutus also followed Davers together, so when the Third Corps was established, most of its team officers were Niutum, which in turn prompted more Niutum. People are more active and active in the military service, so they have the most veterans and the most experience in combat. The first team, as the strongest team in the Third Army, naturally wants to gather the best and strongest soldiers.
These Niutum soldiers, under the command of their governor Niutum, were given a strong fighting spirit, shouting the name of Hades, and lining up a dense five-way column (the width of this Roman vertebral bridge is only Can accommodate five people side by side), set foot on the vertebral bridge, and quickly rushed to the other side.
On the occasion of the Dawnian crow ship docking into a pontoon, Cassius received an urgent return from the spy. This strange attack of Daionia is beyond his expectation, and it also means that Dior The army of Niia from the north across the river to attack the city of Rome will no longer only have a vertebral bridge, he had to urgently summon the retreating Roman squadron, ordering them to rush to the embankment for defense.
When a Roman squadron left the shelter of the residential area and faced the Tiber River and walked into the open area, the artillery team on the opposite side of the bridge immediately began to launch a stone bomb.
Although Cassius had expected this, let the army take a loose checkerboard pattern and move forward quickly, but there are still stones falling into the center of the array, and the horrible death of the hit soldiers caused a lot of trouble. confusion.
At this moment, Casius couldn’t care about the death and injury caused by the rifle. He had seen the Dionyrian soldiers on the other side like the black tide, and quickly rushed down the vertebral bridge. She shouted anxiously: "Acceleration. Go forward! Accelerate!!..."
In fact, he did not need to be reminded that the Roman soldiers not only saw the Danonian soldiers who were on the vertebral bridge, but also saw an enemy that began to appear on the embankment... The homeland is about to be invaded! Every Roman citizen, no matter how old or young, has a strong crisis in his heart at this moment, they speeded up their steps, braved the whistling stone bombs, rushed over and ran into the first Dionia that had just rushed to the bridgehead. The soldiers of the brigade also ran into the other Dynamo Third Army soldiers who had just stepped onto the embankment and barely arranged one row, intercepting them on the banks of the Tiber River.
At this time, the squadrons had to stop firing, letting the soldiers of the two armies carry out life and death fights on the other side...
