"No, once the Tang Dynasty burns down the city, we will have no place to turn over!"

Jack shook his head again and again, firmly opposed.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you say?"

Rades roared angrily.

"Defeated twice in a row, the morale of the soldiers is no longer there, it is really not suitable to continue fighting, why don't we retreat first, use the city in exchange for some time, and maybe come up with a countermeasure!"

The Tang Dynasty's killing weapon is too powerful, and if it continues to fight, it will only be Rome who will be killed or injured.

Moreover, the soldiers of Rome were now so frightened that they did not want to go to war at all!

"Yes...... But I have promised the king that I will definitely expel Datang! ”

Lareth looked helpless.

At the beginning, he volunteered and made a military order, saying that he would definitely be able to drive the Tang Dynasty out of Rome.

But now let alone drive away, they can't even get close to Datang's body.

"General, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and the king will not blame you, but if our army is destroyed, Rome will be finished......!"

Jack persuaded bitterly: "Besides, we are just recuperating, and when we find the right time or solution, we can kill it again!" ”

"But we ......!"

Rades wanted to say something, but when he remembered the heavy casualties just now, he swallowed back the words that followed.

"The Central Plains has a good saying, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood!"

"Well, you have a point, if the soldiers are all destroyed, Rome will also be destroyed!"

Radus's mind is very confused now, and the soldiers are also afraid, and it is indeed not suitable to continue fighting.

"Withdraw!"

Rades closed his eyes in despair and gave the order.

The army of 500,000 he brought with him is now only half of it, and if he can't keep even this half, he really has no shame to face the king.

After getting the news of their retreat, Datang did not continue the pursuit, because the artillery moved very slowly, and the machine guns could not move to attack, if they had to fight hand-to-hand, it would inevitably cause casualties, and it was very unworthwhile.

"I can be regarded as a battlefield for a lifetime, and this battle is really a bully!"

When he heard that Radus had abandoned the city and fled, Li Jing smiled unkindly.

"It's a little, haha......!"

Hou Junji didn't hold back his laughter, and then continued: "It's not all the credit of Zhao Yin's kid! ”

"That's right, Datang can have today, thanks to that kid!"

……

Early the next morning, the ** team went to the abandoned Ami City.

The city here is tall and strong, if it was in the past, if you wanted to take such a city, you would definitely pay a very painful price!

But now, they have actually picked up a bargain.

"Datang is so strong, how can we defeat them?"

Radus led his troops to retreat dozens of miles outside Ami City, looked at the high city walls, and shook his head helplessly, "Send someone to tell the king that the Tang Dynasty is like a divine help, and we can't get close at all!" ”

The fiery snakes fired from the machine guns were terrifying, and the morale of the soldiers was completely lost, and they could not cope with the battle at all.

At this time, Datang, like the Romans, was sending news to the emperor.

But the difference between the two is that the Datang people send good news!

"Tell Your Majesty that we have occupied Ami City, and there are no casualties, and then let Your Majesty distribute more bullets to us, as for food and grass, there is no need for food, grass, etc., there are many good things in the city!"

As soon as Li Jing's words fell, the generals around him had already written the letter and sent it back.

"Now I'm used to artillery and machine guns, if I go back to the time when I was in the sword, gun, sword, and halberd, I don't know how to fight, haha......!"

Li Jing stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"Zhao Yin, this kid is powerful, I don't know if there will be more powerful weapons developed in the future?"

Hou Junji nodded, agreeing with his words very much.

The army stayed at Ami for only one night, and the next morning they divided into three lines and began to attack the rest of Rome, which were completely vulnerable by artillery and machine-gun fire.

Before he thought of a way, Rades didn't dare to make a move at all, so he could only retreat again and again.

In just three days, the Romans lost thirty-five cities!

However, Li Jing did not ask to attack all the time, but stopped the army after three days for rectification and rested for a while.

Taking advantage of this gap, the Romans can also take a breather!

"I really didn't expect that Datang is so powerful now, robbing more than 30 of our cities one after another, and there were no casualties!"

Rades is only now really panicking.

"It's not that the soldiers of Datang are invincible, but their weapons are invincible, if we can have that kind of weapon, we can also sweep all countries!"

Jack leaned his elbows on the table and said with a wry brow.

"What do we do now? You can't just keep going back like this, can you? ”

"Rome is a vast territory, if they want to occupy all the cities, they will definitely disperse their forces, and when the time comes, we may have a chance!"

"Jack, I know you're comforting me, although they don't have a lot of troops this time, they can keep replenishing, and if we don't have a way to crack their weapons, we will never be able to defeat them!"

Hearing this, Jack stopped talking, and could only sigh deeply.

Although he was Rome's first strategist, he was helpless in the face of such a powerful weapon!

"Will ...... General, no...... Oh no! ”

Just as the two of them were worried, a soldier ran in in a panic.

"What? Datang attacked so quickly? ”

Rades's heart sank instantly.

"No...... No, it's smallpox! ”

When these two words were spoken, the soldier's face turned pale.

In this era, smallpox was a highly contagious disease, and once infected, it could only die of pain!

"Where?"

Although Radus is a general and is not afraid of life and death, he is still afraid of such a terrible virus.

Because it's about the lives of the remaining 200,000 soldiers!

"It's in the city!"

The soldiers panicked.

"How so?"

"I heard that the plague has been spreading in the city for more than 20 days, and the city lord is afraid of being held accountable, so he has fled with his family!"

"Damn it!"

Rades slammed his fist into the table, causing the sturdy table to collapse in an instant.

Now they not only have to defend against strong enemies, but also face a terrible plague, and they are in a dilemma!

"For the sake of today's plan, we can only temporarily isolate the patients who have smallpox, and resolutely do not let them come into contact with the soldiers!"

Smallpox is a plague with no cure, and if we want to prevent it from spreading, we can only leave them to fend for themselves.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the soldier turned and retreated.

"When I was a child, there was a plague in a neighboring village, and an entire village died!"

Radth stared vacantly into the distance, remembering what had happened many years ago.

"Well, this disease is really scary!"

Jack nodded approvingly, but was helpless.

"Terrible ......?"

Radus's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and continued: "This daypox is really at a good time! ”

"You want to ......?"

Jack looked at him in surprise, and an idea popped into his head.
