But Lin Feng was a defender personally approved by Emperor Caesar, and those archers could only dare to be angry and dare not speak out.
Finally, under the coordination of a Roman officer, all but three of the archers were transferred elsewhere, and this resolved the complaint.
The brutal battle lasted only one morning, and the Gauls didn't seem to find any good way to face the Roman trenches.
The fortress troops in the encirclement had no chance to launch an attack, so they could only quietly wait for the opportunity, waiting to launch a fatal attack when they saw the Romans showing their weaknesses.
With the sound of a long horn, the Gaul army receded like a tide, leaving only countless corpses and lingering, unkilled Gaul warriors.
On the Roman side, the loss was minimal, and it can be said to be a big victory.
Lin Feng leaned on the railing of the watchtower, leisurely watching the Romans take away the wounded, and the seriously injured were sent to Zhao Yajing, who was leading a group of people there, waiting for the wounded to arrive.
At this time, the call of a Roman officer brought Lin Feng back to his thoughts.
"Caesar calls you," said the officer.
Following the officers to Caesar's big tent, Lin Feng saw Caesar sitting on the steps in front of the tent and meditating. He didn't know what he was thinking about, and Anthony beside him just waited quietly without disturbing him.
After a long time, Caesar said, "I really want to see your archery skills, but I heard that in normal battles, you didn't shoot a single arrow. Why?"
"Because the real battle hasn't started yet." Lin Feng said indifferently.
"If you were the commander of the Gauls, how would you deal with my trench?" Caesar changed the subject.
"I will order people to cut down a lot of branches and fill up the trench."
"You think the same as I do." Caesar nodded.
Anthony, who was listening, immediately understood what the two meant, and added, "That means, when the Gauls have prepared enough branches, they will attack again?"
"tonight."
Lin Feng nodded, expressing his agreement with Anthony's guess, and added.
In fact, Lin Feng is familiar with that period of history.
There is only one month of stock in the Alysian Fortress, and the leader of the fortress made a wrong decision that discredited him.
He drove out all the old and weak women and children in the establishment. These people begged the Romans, and they were even willing to become slaves, asking the Romans to take them in.
But it was flatly rejected by Caesar.
As a result, these old and weak women and children lived in front of the positions of the two armies, and died of starvation within a few days.
But even so, the food in the Alysian Fortress was still not enough, and after holding on for two months, it was basically empty.Therefore, the Gaul reinforcements must open the channel as soon as possible and provide them with food, otherwise Caesar will break through the siege and leave.
The commander-in-chief of the Gaul reinforcements certainly understood this, but the Gauls really lacked quality in warfare. They were only at the level of barbarians, and they only focused on personal toughness, seriously lacking in discipline and organization.
Because of this weakness, the Gauls fought poorly and were no match for the tough Romans in willpower.
This made the Gaul commander dare not delay the battle for too long, so another attack was bound to be launched that night.
but……
Lin Feng knew that in history, Caesar won the war by luck, but now that Caesar has lost two legions of troops, will Goddess of Luck still take care of him?
"I heard that you have prepared a lot of grease, do you want to set it on fire?"
Antony asked this question for Caesar.
Because when they heard Lin Feng talk about 'twigs', the two finally understood the reason why Lin Feng prepared so many bottles and cans, but they were not very sure.
Then he asked again, "However, our army is in a valley. Even if you set fire to the outer trenches, the thick smoke will gather here and affect our soldiers instead. Do you have any good solutions?"
"Have."
There was no wind tonight, which really gave Lin Feng a headache, but he replied without thinking, "If you have 'Greek fire', I might let the fire become another barrier for the Roman army."
The so-called Greek fire is actually the oldest gunpowder invented by human beings. If the oil and grease in the combustion aid of "Greek fire" are replaced with charcoal, then its chemical composition will be exactly the same as that of the later black powder!
………… ..
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
In the Persian War hundreds of years ago.
The Greek navy defeated the Persian navy by relying on black powder, so that the formula of this gunpowder was later regarded as the top military secret and kept for hundreds of years.
It was later brought to Persia by a Greek traitor, and then introduced to Arabia, so it was called 'Greek fire'.
Caesar the Great once led the navy to invade Great Britain when he was poisoning the province. It is impossible for him not to know this secret weapon of the navy.
But it's one thing to know, and quite another to actually know it.
After all, under the technical conditions at that time, it was not an easy task to make 'Greek Fire'.
So when he heard this word, Caesar's eyes lit up immediately, but soon dimmed again.
"Perhaps you are right, Greek fire can help us defend, but the configuration of Greek fire requires several kinds of ores, and we have no way to find ores at present." Caesar said regretfully.
Because the combustion accelerant of 'Greek Fire' is oil and grease, which are extremely flammable, it is very difficult to store and transport, so it is generally used as a temporary configuration when it needs to be used.
Caesar may never have thought of using Greek fire for defense before, so he didn't prepare related ores. Now that this is the case, it is too late to think about preparations.
Lin Feng opened his mouth, originally wanting to say that he knew the simple method of making 'Greek fire', but he quickly put it back when the words came to his lips.
Just kidding, the formula of 'Greek Fire' was the top secret at that time, and it was not even allowed to record the formula on paper. It was passed on by word of mouth for hundreds of years. If he revealed the formula, it would definitely lead to disaster.
