Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 127 Breaking the City

During this period, Sister Claudia did not harass him less, but Li Wei avoided it as much as possible.

These sisters are too capable to be provoked.

Li Wei suddenly realized that sisters Claudia's marriage to Metellus' son and Sulla's beloved general Luculus were actually political marriages to help the family get out of the predicament.

This may not be their original intention, and now they are targeting themselves, probably because they see their own strength.

But is he a person who sells his body for beauty? how can that be!

"General Li Wei, it's time to attack Preninest, otherwise General Sulla will be unhappy again. And it's not my original intention to be a military supervisor. I hope you can understand."

After seeing Li Wei finished reading Sura's letter, Hadrianus said with a low eyebrow.

There is no way, both of them are great gods, and he can't afford to provoke them.

"I know, the main reason is that I am a soft-hearted person and don't want to see my subordinates die, so I took a little longer to prepare."

Li Wei said with a smile.

The corner of Hadrianus' mouth is direct, a little time? Two months have passed, the war in the north is in full swing, and you are here to relax.

In fact, this is only a superficial reason. What Li Wei is really worried about is the Lucanians and Samni who are preparing to rebel.

Once they laid siege to Capua, if he went north, he might not be able to come to the rescue, so he has been procrastinating from attacking.

Even if he wins this battle, if Capua falls, Li Wei will vomit blood.

Because technologies such as sugar making, steel swords, and spirits are all cash cows that continuously generate huge wealth, he is not willing to exchange Roman real estate.

"In this case, pass my order to attack the city tomorrow."

Levi said.

Sura even sent overseers. It seemed that his patience had reached its limit, and he couldn't continue to test his bottom line.

"As ordered."

A guard said, and then went to transmit the order.

Seeing this, Hadrianus heaved a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to relax too much.

Su La ordered that Li Wei was very cunning, and he had to watch Li Wei take down the city with his own eyes.

The next morning, after breakfast, a large number of craftsmen began to erect the counterweight trebuchet.

On a school yard in the camp, nearly a thousand slaves were wearing Roman armor with indifferent faces.

These slaves were the death squads Li Wei prepared for this siege. After all, if he could die, he would rather die more slaves and fewer Romans.

Carus flicked his whip hard and went about his business.

"You lowly slaves, you have met a merciful master. As long as you fill the ditch ahead and kill one enemy, you will be free. If you can kill two enemies, then you will have Rome Citizenship. Every time you kill an enemy in the future, you can get a reward of 50 dinars. Grasp this opportunity, you have the opportunity to become a great Roman citizen and a follower of the owner of Li Wei, and even you want to return to your hometown No problem either."

Carus said loudly.

Hearing this, the eyes of those slaves lit up.

The slaves Li Wei bought this time were all fighters, and fighting was their old profession.

Isn't that killing people! That's what they've been doing all along!

"Do you mean what you say? If I win, I want to go home! I'm not interested in being a vassal (another translation of a doorman)!"

A slave spoke half-baked Latin.

"Of course, as long as you kill two people, you can go home."

Carus said with a smile, just because the scar on his face looked extremely hideous.

The slaves discussed with each other and agreed.

In other words, they have to agree if they promise, or if they don't agree, Li Wei will not give them a choice.

After everything was ready, some gates on the earthen wall were opened, and a large number of slave soldiers rushed out.

They fought against the sacks full of soil and rushed towards the ditch in front of the earth wall. When they reached the ditch, they threw the bags of soil down, and then quickly returned.

The soldiers on the city wall had already noticed this situation, "Fire the arrows! Shoot the arrows!"

At this moment, hundreds of stones flew up from behind the earth wall at the same time, and then smashed into the city wall.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"..."

Stones weighing nearly 300 kilograms slammed into the city wall one by one, causing the entire city wall to shake violently.

There were stone chips flying everywhere, flesh and blood, and screams.

The people on the city wall were stunned, and Mario was also stunned.

A large stone flew past his face, drawing a trail of blood across his face, and only narrowly missed his head.

"This is...the trebuchet designed by Li Wei..."

Xiao Ma said in a little panic.

He had long heard that Li Wei had designed a terrifying trebuchet, but he never expected to be able to throw such a heavy stone to the top of the city.

"It's terrible!"

said an officer next to him.

"Didn't you say that your reinforcements will come soon? It's been two months, your reinforcements?"

Little Mario said to the officer.

This officer was Pontius the Younger, the son of the leader of the Samni, Pontius, who had a very high status among the Samni.

"Don't worry, I'm here, are you afraid that my father won't come to save us?"

Little Pontius comforted him.

"Then why aren't you here?"

Mario asked slightly.

Little Pontius couldn't answer for a long time. Now Sulla is in the sky and has won many battles. His father is afraid. He is worried that bringing the whole family together will destroy the Samni.

At this moment, another boulder flew over.

Little Pontius quickly threw Pony to the ground.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"..."

The sound of the city wall collapsing can be heard endlessly, and the city walls in some places have already begun to collapse, and the faces of Marius and Pontius Jr. have all changed.

If this goes on, they won't be able to support it for long.

"Let's go down first."

Little Pontius said.

With a gloomy face, Pony and Pontius walked down together. They knew that the city wall would fail soon.

The slave soldiers quickly filled the trenches with soil, and the soldiers on the city wall tried to shoot arrows at them, but the huge stones that kept falling made them terrified.

Pressed by the centurion, they shot some arrows down, but stopped when the walls fell.

Those slaves quickly filled up a section of trench nearly 100 meters ahead. At this time, a large number of boulders were still falling towards the city wall.

Section after section of the city wall had been smashed down. Seeing this, little Mario knew that the city was over.

"Let's run away."

Little Mario said.

"Ok."

Little Pontius said with a bitter face.

After all, Prenest was just a small city, and it was no match for the three legions of enemies. After speaking, the two quietly left here with some personal guards.
