Roman Slave Owner

Rome is in such a mess now, he doesn't want to leave Rome.

The most capable generals under him are Li Wei and Pompey. Li Wei's record in central and southern Italy made him feel more at ease.

Li Wei's spirit lifted, is it finally here?

Whether I want to go or not, I remember that Pompey won a triumphant victory through this war.

Okay, but how many troops can I bring?

Levi said.

Your six legions, and I will give you another 3,000 cavalry.

Sura said.

No, I want to keep a legion to guard Dragon City, you can give me another legion.

Levi said.

Ok.

Sura thought for a while and said.

It is easy to beat them with so many troops. It seems that this time the triumph is settled.

Livi soon left Rome and returned to Capua.

It is not an easy task for the army to set off for Africa. This includes the dispatch of ships, the preparation of supplies, etc. It will take some time, and he has prepared a secret weapon for the enemy.

Ah! ah, ah,

Little Li Wei waved his little round hands in dissatisfaction, staring at his small round eyes, and looked at this hateful villain dissatisfied.

Li Wei hugged little Li Wei, and gently tugged his chubby little face, pulling out one cute look after another.

What are you doing?

Yulia thumped him dissatisfied, as gentle as scratching an itch.

This guy hadn't been seen for several months, and he came back to harm the children as soon as he got home. She hugged little Li Wei from Li Wei's arms.

Are you going to fight again?

Julia said worriedly.

It's a little thing, someone wants to make trouble in Africa.

Li Weiman said indifferently, of course he wouldn't show it even if he was worried.

You must be careful.

Julia said that she understood that this was the fate of the Romans.

Every Roman yearns for glory, for triumph, and Livy is no exception.

In fact, Li Wei is not worried about this. It took Pompey 40 days to end the Battle of Africa in his previous life. If it was him, about 30 days would be enough.

We haven't seen each other for a while, do you want to reward me first?

After speaking, Li Wei has already put a pair of salty pig's hands on the pair of long white and tender legs and gently slid them. There is no way, these legs will never get tired of playing.

I hate it!

Although she already had a child, Yulia still looked shy.

Li Wei immediately understood what she meant, hating means wanting.

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Little Li Wei strongly protested being taken away by the nanny, and at the same time called for help. The bad guy was going to bully his mother again, and then there was a long unsuitable content for children.

After Yulia repeatedly begged for mercy,

Li Wei left here like a victorious general,

He brought some centurions and military tribunes to the artisan area of ​​Dragon City. Thousands of artisans gathered here to produce and develop various weapons for Li Wei. It was Li Wei's most important logistics base.

Those patrolling guards saw them saluting one after another. Wufar looked at all this with envy. He didn't envy the gold and silver wealth of the Romans, he didn't envy the luxury culture of the Romans, but only envied the weapons and equipment of the Romans.

This is the nature of the Germanic people. The Germanic people are proud of hunting wars and ashamed of agricultural production. They don't like gold, silver and wine, but they only like sophisticated weapons.

After beheading generals and capturing the flag in the last battle, Li Wei asked him what reward he wanted.

Wufa didn't want to get promoted and get rich, he only wanted the swords in Li Wei's weapons store, the price of those weapons was too expensive, even if he was sold, he couldn't afford them, which made him salivate.

So Li Wei not only promoted him to be a military tribune, but also gave him a 15 steel sword, which made Wufa very fond of him.

Came to a shooting range in the crossbow area, where some craftsmen were already waiting for them.

In addition to Roman soldiers, the enemies Li Wei faced this time were also powerful Numidian cavalry.

The Numidian cavalry is a very powerful unit. It defeated the Roman cavalry many times in the Punic War and the Romans several times in the Jugurtha War. It left a deep impression on the Romans and is also the favorite of the Romans. Confederate cavalry,

But this time they again stood against Rome, choosing Livi's enemy Dumigius.

How to deal with cavalry, the Chinese have already had rich experience, that is to use crossbows,

Li Ling, the son of parachutist Li Guang, once defeated the Huns with 5,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry, relying on bows and crossbows.

The Numidian cavalry is a kind of saddleless cavalry, and they don't wear armor, or only wear leather armor. Bows and crossbows are simply their natural nemesis.

Li Wei researched the crossbows at this time and found that both the Greek crossbows and the Roman crossbows were rotten to death. Not only were they small in weight and poor in elasticity, but they lost a lot of power when shooting, so they had to develop their own. Bow and crossbow.

Master.

Owner.

...

Those craftsmen saluted when they saw Li Wei. Among them were slave craftsmen and Li Wei's followers.

Li Wei nodded, and then said, Bring those crossbows here.

Those craftsmen took out some crossbows and gave them to the centurions and military tribunes,

What are these? someone asked.

Our new weapon. Levi said,

Those centurions were fiddling with bows and crossbows. These crossbows were well-made, made of high-quality yew wood, and the bow strings were made of tendon. What's more, it is different from other crossbows, that is, it is very big, and the arm is very long, which is twice as long as that of ordinary crossbows. It can be seen that the pulling force is very strong.

A centurion who prided himself on his bravery tried his best to string the crossbow.

It's too strong. After a few shots in a battle, I lose my strength, and I even hit a fart.

someone said.

Those craftsmen were a little bit dumbfounded, but the centurion had a lot of strength, and he could wind the string with his hands.

These crossbows are not used with hands, but with feet.

said a craftsman.

With your feet?

Those centurions couldn't help being dumbfounded, and this kind of crossbow?

A craftsman demonstrated it to them. He stepped on a ring in front of the crossbow with his feet, and then pulled up the bowstring with both hands. He quickly put the bowstring into the groove at the back, and then released an arrow. into the arrow slot.

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that it was like this.

Woofer looked at the crossbow in his hand thoughtfully, it was really a good design. Although it is just a simple change from winding by hand to winding by foot, this is definitely a qualitative leap.

In fact, Li Wei originally wanted to use a pulley crossbow, but the cost was too high.

Even he couldn't afford it and finally gave up on the idea.

How many pounds is the pulling force of these crossbows? Someone asked the craftsmen,

It is divided into two grades, namely 200 Roman pounds and 250 Roman pounds (one Roman pound = 0.335KG). A craftsman said,

Everyone just calculated a little bit, and they all gasped, they didn't know anything else! The pull is strong enough,
