"Earl of Nicosia?!" someone exclaimed.

Everyone who saw this scene looked at each other in disbelief. An old nobleman said at a loss: "Didn't it mean that the enemy has only more than 20,000 people? Why, why did Count Nicosia fail?! This, this..."

Monica said firmly: "Don't think too much! This idiot must have exposed himself, so he was killed by the other party, ruining more than 20,000 people in vain, and wasting a great opportunity!"

Everyone thought Monica’s words were reasonable, and they couldn’t help but get angry at Earl Nicosia, but they just thought that this guy was really not enough to make a mistake!

Monica glanced at the opponents on the city wall, and a firm look appeared in her eyes. He had been preparing for a long time to defeat the Han army and regain Antioch. He would never retreat because of a small setback!

He raised his right hand and shouted loudly: "The whole army obeys the order! Attack!"

Dongdongdongdongdongdongdong...! The sound of war drums sounded loudly.

The morale of the Roman army was greatly boosted, forming a huge square formation, pushing a large number of siege equipment into the city wall again!

The Roman army is definitely a veteran of the siege tactics. The army advances slowly and sprints, and countless large shields form a wall, spreading like a curtain!

Tens of thousands of troops were advancing together like a whole, and the neat footsteps gathered into a huge sound that vibrated the earth, with a momentum like a rainbow, as if it was unstoppable! Before the battle was fought, the city wall seemed to be trembling!

Hiller stared at the city wall with wide eyes and said ruthlessly: "Anteau has no artillery, see how they resist our attack!"

The reason why Hiller said this is because of the information he obtained before.

Before the attack was launched, Monica made a lot of preparations, one of which was to send a large number of spy spies to Antioch.

According to the information sent back by these spies' eyeliners, the Han army focused on Byzantium's defense, so all the artillery cast in the local area were transported to Byzantium, and no clues of the artillery arrangement on the Antioch wall were found.

In fact, it is precisely because of this that Monica made up her mind to defeat Antioch, otherwise it would be difficult for her to make up her mind.

The Roman attack troops continued to advance and soon advanced to a place only more than 200 steps away from the city wall.

As several of the generals gave loud orders, the army's shield separated a huge gap, and hundreds of bed crossbows were exposed, and they were ready to shoot.

The army continued to advance. As long as it advances for dozens of steps, it can use the firepower of the crossbow to suppress the city. All the Roman officers and soldiers were excited and couldn't help but let out a burst of shouts. The blood of killing boiled in everyone's heart.

Boom...! A huge roar suddenly sounded. Then a huge roar of wind came from the air.

The Roman officers and soldiers who were advancing towards the city wall were all stunned. Before they could react, countless shells had fallen into the Roman army with crackling sounds!

The shield suddenly broke and the flesh flew everywhere. The shells with terrible power destroyed the Roman soldiers like a destruction! The shield could not resist, and the human body was even more vulnerable. In almost instant, the Roman soldiers suffered many casualties!

Monica and others who were watching the game in the rear were shocked when they saw the scene in front of them, as if they had seen a scene that they had never imagined. Everyone was shocked without any preparation!

"This is, what's going on?" Hiller exclaimed.

No wonder, the information received during this period said that Antioch did not arrange artillery, but he did not expect that his opponent suddenly launched a bombardment with artillery!?

Monica frowned and murmured in annoyance: "The information is wrong!? Damn it!!"

While speaking, a huge earth-shaking roar sounded again on the city wall. This time the movement was even more amazing than before. Obviously, more than a hundred artillery fired volleys!

The officers and soldiers of the Roman attacking troops subconsciously looked up at the head of the city, and saw the amazing scene of the fire in the sky in horror, and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, more than a hundred shells hit the Roman army, and the terrible collision sound of the shield and the human body sounded again,

Immediately afterwards, a ball of extremely striking flames appeared in the crowd. Seeing many people being pushed into the sky, the screams were connected together in this earth-shaking huge movement, stirring the minds of all Roman soldiers!

Monica yelled: "Call them to retreat!"

The commander reacted and immediately ran down to pass the command. The attacking force quickly retreated and retreated to the middle of the army to reorganize the formation.

Hiller said to Monica: "Queen, the situation is a bit unexpected. Should I do this now?"

Monica looked at Jia Xu on the city wall ahead, feeling that the other party seemed to be mocking her, and she couldn't help but feel anger in her heart. She said coldly: "Although this matter was beyond expectations, I still have a way."

He turned his head and shouted at the general Boqi beside him, "You, take people to open the secret passage immediately and raid the city."

Boqi replied and ran down immediately.

Friends who have read the previous article should still remember this Boqi. It is true. He has been following Monica since a long time ago and is a general that Monica relies heavily on.

The secret passage mentioned in Monica's mouth is an authentic tunnel connecting the city and outside the city that Monica occupied Byzantine when he asked his confidant general Boqi to secretly dig out.

Monica lost to Antioch back then, and this secret passage was not available. This time, the anti-attack Antioch was counterattacked, and this secret passage was said to be Monica's biggest trump card.

Boqi led three thousand elite troops to run straight towards a birch forest not far outside the city, where the secret passage exited outside the city.

Three thousand elite soldiers entered the forest and soon found an inconspicuous open space covered with dead branches and leaves in the forest under Boqi's guidance.

Boqi asked people to sweep away the dead branches and leaves on the surface and dig downwards. Soon, a large wooden board covered by soil came into view!

Boqi suppressed his excitement and asked people to open the wooden board. A hole about 1.5 meters square suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

At the same time, on the front battlefield, Monica frequently adjusted her deployment, and posed as if she was preparing to attack again with a large-scale attack.

Jia Xu stood on the city wall and observed the enemy. Seeing that the enemy frequently adjusted its deployment but did not launch an attack for a long time, he couldn't help but wondered and murmured: "It's constantly adjusting its deployment but did not attack for a long time. It seems like he is bluffing."

When my heart moved, I immediately asked someone to ask if there was any movement outside the city gates on the other three sides.

Soon, news came from the other three city gates that there was no abnormality outside the three city gates, and even one enemy soldier did not appear.
