Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 111: condition

  The bottom seat is rectangular, composed of four horizontal woods and two woods. There are eight wheels on the base, and the wheels can be moved, and the wheels can even be adjusted through different terrains.

   The soldiers on the city wall were extremely nervous. Fortunately, the ballistas did not attack. The soldiers hidden inside started to dig with mechanical cover. A large amount of soil was dug out by them, and then piled in front of the trench.

   Seeing this, Scipio's heart tightened.

   "Do you want to destroy those turtle-shaped machines?"

   asked a military guarantor.

   Scipio's face is cloudy, whether or not to hit him.

   If it is really hit, it will take all the lives of the family down.

"let's hit!"

   At this time, a lieutenant said.

"shut up!"

   Scipio angrily rebuked, "No one can go to war unless the enemy takes the initiative to attack."

   Scipio said.

   Everyone can't help but look at each other, the enemy has hit the door, don't you just sit and watch the enemy surround them?

   But the soldiers on the wall found that they were wrong, Sura’s soldiers wanted more than just the siege.

   After constructing an earth wall behind the trench, they started to assemble the trebuchet using the cover of the earth wall.

   Scipio carefully observed the trebuchets. Although the trebuchets were behind the earth wall, they couldn't hide its tall body.

   "This is by no means our trebuchet in Rome."

   Nasika said very positively.

   "Yes, some of these trebuchets are as tall as three people, and they are by no means comparable to ordinary trebuchets."

   Scipio said.

   At this time, they remembered the rumors that Li Wei had invented a terrifying trebuchet that could easily destroy their walls.

   The officers under him have called for battle, and they can't delay any longer.

   Scipio's face was so gloomy that it was dripping water, but he said nothing about fighting.

   His officers are going crazy, what are you doing?

   Sit and watch the enemy finish setting up the sling rack?

   I want to fight or surrender.

   Only Nasika faintly guessed what he thought, which made him feel a bit sad.

   Scipio, this is sacrificing himself to complete the family!

   It didn't take long for fifty catapult racks to be set up. Sura, Levi and others watched the first round of attacks from a distance to see how effective the catapult was.

   Some soldiers carried 150 kilograms of stones onto the trebuchet, and then waited for Sura’s orders.

   "Remember to only conduct one round of test firing, and then send someone to contact Scipio and ask him to surrender as soon as possible."

   Sura said.

   After receiving Sura’s order, a military guarantor under Li Wei immediately ordered the launch.

   Fifty soldiers smashed the percussion hammers almost at the same time, one after another huge stones whizzed into the air, and then hit the dirt wall of the barracks.

"what!"

"what!"

  "..."

   There were screams on the earth wall immediately. The walls of the Roman barracks were stone only as permanent barracks. This was not a permanent barracks, so it was just an earth wall.

   Facing the terrible boulder, some soldiers who were hit were immediately smashed into flesh.

   After being hit by huge rocks, some of the city walls were directly smashed. The soldiers on those walls were directly buried in the soil, and some of them were even rubbed by stone bullets and their bones were broken.

   After all, this is not a solid ground. Those boulders can directly smash a seven-foot pit on the ground.

   Suddenly, there were wailing sounds everywhere.

   Sura and Metellus were stunned, and Scipio and the others were stunned.

   What kind of catapult is this, it is so powerful.

   For a while, no one actually took care of the wounded soldiers.

   Li Wei also took a deep breath. No wonder Xiangyang City couldn't stop the return of the gun. This gun was really too fierce.

   Scipio’s soldiers finally reacted, looking at the riddled wall, although there were a series of defense measures such as trenches and spikes outside, they did not have the slightest sense of security.

   They ran down from the wall in horror, and then ran to their camp.

   Scipia was also in a cold sweat. Fortunately, those stone bullets didn't target himself, otherwise he would be finished.

   "Let's go down first."

   Nassika said.

   Scipio nodded, and quickly followed Nasika down the city wall.

   Sula and the others were very excited about whether to take the barracks down.

   In the end, he decided to act according to the original plan and send a cavalry to the bottom of the city wall and start talking.

   "On the order of General Sura, all officers and soldiers are required to leave the city and surrender before 3 a.m., otherwise the whole army will attack the city, and all the captives will be deprived of their citizenship and be demoted to slaves."

   Rome time is so fucking, they divide the day into 12 hours during the day and 12 hours at night. The timing starts at sunrise and sunset respectively.

   But in winter, the day is short and the night is long, and in summer the day is long and the night is short. This creates a phenomenon that the Romans have an indefinite hour.

   Sometimes an hour is 45 minutes, sometimes it is more than an hour.

   Since it is autumn now, and it is early in the morning, the cavalry said that 3 o'clock in the morning is basically 9 o'clock.

   Scipio calculated the time. It probably only takes less than ten minutes. What can I do?

   Looking at Scipia, who was frowning, UU read www.uukanshu.com Nasika hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Since the decision has already been made, why are you still hesitant."

   Scipio's body shook, and he glanced at him with a complicated expression: "The Scipio family has no cowards who lose without a fight. I will be the shame of the Scipio family."

   "No, you are just for the continuation of the family."

  Nasika said excitedly.

   "Who will believe these words?"

Scipio smiled bitterly and said, "Well, I will surrender next. I will negotiate some conditions with him. If nothing happens, he will agree to all of them. Then you will return to Rome and continue to resist Sura, the family The glory will all be tied to you."

"I know."

   Nasika said with a pained expression on her face.

   Scipio nodded, touched his head affectionately, and then resolutely turned and walked towards the city wall.

   "Where is Sura?"

   Scipio said loudly.

"Have you considered?"

   Sura appeared above an earth wall, half of her body was exposed.

"I can surrender, but I have two conditions. One is that the lives of members of the Scipio family must be guaranteed. No matter whether they resist you next or not, you cannot deprive them of their citizenship, do not cause any harm to them, or imprison them. They, can't exile them, there is one more you must let Nasika out of here."

   Scipio said loudly.

   Hearing this, both Sura's soldiers and Scipio's soldiers were in an uproar.

   He is the head of the Scipio family, how could he say such a thing?

   The vast majority of these soldiers grew up listening to the stories of Scipio and Scipio. Many of their ancestors participated in the three most tragic Punic Wars that year.
