Florbus stood there stupidly, completely confused.

His surroundings had now completely turned into a sea of ​​fire. The Romans' fifty catapults and a large number of crossbows had all been destroyed before they had time to explode with power.

At the same time, the people who controlled the catapult suffered almost all casualties.

"How can the enemy's catapult throw stone balls such a long distance?"

"How could our catapult be destroyed so easily?"

As soon as Flobus came back to his senses and muttered a few words in a low voice, another stone ball fell from the sky, and one of the stone balls hit Flobus's feet.

Florbus only had time to let out a shrill scream before his body was ignited by the fire and turned into a torch.

Poor Florbus came with hope, but left so easily.

On the battleship, the catapult followed Gao Shun's order and after completing five salvos, it began to change direction.

At the same time, the soldiers trapped in the camp had boarded the boat in an orderly manner, preparing to start landing.

On the coast, Julius turned his head and looked at the hell-like sea of ​​​​fire beside him, and swallowed involuntarily.

As a veteran who had been fighting for half his life, this was the first time Julius encountered an enemy with such firepower.

From this point, it can be seen that the enemies in front of him are different from the enemies Julius has encountered before.

From the side, the voice of the flag officer sounded.

"General, the enemy's catapult has begun to turn."

Hearing the words of the flag officer, Julius came back to his senses and quickly shouted an order.

"Spread out, spread out quickly."

"All soldiers must be prepared to guard against enemy catapults. Let the enemy land. Once the enemy lands on the beach, they will immediately fight with the enemy."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Almost as soon as Julius finished speaking, there were sharp and piercing sounds in the sky.

A group of Roman soldiers looked up to the sky with a hint of horror.

Just in time to see twenty fireballs with long tail flames falling from the sky.

"Bang bang bang!"

The fireball hit the ground, directly igniting large areas of Roman soldiers.

At the same time, the soldiers trapped in the camp began to quickly approach the beach in small boats.

"General Hades, after I board the boat, you can return with the battleship."

Hearing Gao Shun's words, Hades quickly asked in a low voice: "Are the twenty warships equipped with catapults also going to return together?"

"Well, the enemy has dispersed, and the damage the catapult can cause is very limited. When we get back, unload the catapult."

Hades suddenly felt a sense of disappointment in his heart.

To be honest, after seeing the power of the Chinese army's catapults, Hades really wanted to own these catapults.

There is no doubt that as long as they have these catapults, the strength of the Phoenician fleet will be doubled.

Although he felt regretful, Hades quickly regained his composure and whispered to Gao Shun: "General Gao, there are almost five thousand Romans on the coast. If you lead the troops to land in person, you will encounter some dangers. , how about I leave a battleship and you take command on the battleship?"

"I have to be with my soldiers!"

Gao Shun said nothing and hurriedly boarded the boat with a pair of soldiers.

On the other side, Julius could not help but let out a long sigh of relief when he saw that the Phoenician fleet began to turn and lost the threat of catapults.

Seeing the Chinese army again, not far from the coast, Julius quickly shouted to the surroundings: "According to the previous training, the infantry formed a formation, the archers moved forward, and shot all the enemy troops trying to land in the sea. .”

"We want to show our enemies that the Roman army is unstoppable and unstoppable."

As Julius finished speaking, shirtless Roman archers immediately came out holding short bows and arrows.

Stand in two lines.

The general in charge of commanding the archers had not finished measuring the distance when a wave of crossbow arrows swept over the sea.

The general who commanded the archers was hit in the chest by three crossbow arrows before he could even react.

A wave of arrows, in addition to taking away the generals who commanded the archers, also killed hundreds of Roman archers.

Soon the second wave of crossbow arrows and the third wave of crossbow arrows followed.

Most of the Roman archers were shot dead without even a chance to fight back.

Morale was at its lowest point, and the surviving Romans opened their bows and fired arrows in confusion.

Most of the sparse short arrows landed on the beach, and a small number of short arrows hit the enemy, but they were unable to break through the thick iron armor worn by the soldiers in the trapped camp.

"The momentum of charge is forward but never retreat."

"The ambition to be trapped in a battle will lead to death but not life."

As two loud slogans spread across the beach, three thousand soldiers trapped in the camp finally completed the landing.

Seeing this, Julius quickly ordered loudly, "Roman soldiers, shout the slogan and charge with me."

"The Roman legions are invincible."

Excluding the archers, nearly four thousand Romans holding short swords and wearing red cloaks rushed straight to the soldiers trapped in the camp.

In an instant, a fierce battle broke out on the coast.
