After Oliverus's Fourth Legion collapsed the walls, he did not think carefully, did not scout, and did not control the soldiers under his command, so that they rushed into the breach, and as a result, they were trapped under the city, resulting in many burns and heavy casualties.

As for Mattonis's 2nd Corps, since Davos was in his rear and had watched the battle almost with his own eyes, he knew very well that although the 2nd Corps had the best siege equipment, the Romans had also assembled heavy forces to defend the area he was attacking, so Davos did not have much resentment towards Mattonis.

During these years of war, Davers had rarely said such heavy words, and several corps commanders bowed their heads in shame.

Davers didn't look at them again, slowed his tone, and said to Stacetdas, "What are your difficulties in treating soldiers? ”

"There are too many wounded soldiers, and we don't have enough people to take care of them."

"Tormid, you are responsible for drawing soldiers from the various legions, so that they can follow the command of Stacetdas, assist the medical battalion, and rescue their comrades."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, we also need a lot of spacious and clean rooms for the wounded soldiers to recuperate and recover."

"It's easy to do." Davers thought for a moment and said, "I heard that many Roman nobles have fled to Capitoline Hill, and Trotiras, you are responsible for leading the troops to vacate their mansions and hand them over to the medical camp. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Stacekdarth hesitated for a moment, then said, "There is still ...... Your Majesty, I hope to be able to heal the wounded Roman people. "Although the two sides are hostile, in the eyes of the doctor are only the patient.

Davers smiled slightly, and said with relief: "If you don't say this, I will let you do it." ”

Davers once again turned his attention to the legionary commanders: "Now let's clarify the location of the legions in the city of Rome. ”

When the legionnaires heard this, they immediately leaned forward and looked at the map of the city of Rome on the wooden table.

"The First and Second Legions camped in the square." Davers pointed to the map and said, "The Fourth Legion is camped in the Arena, the Sixth Legion is camped in the southeast corner of the city, the Fifth Legion is camped in the southwest corner of the city, and the Third Legion—"

Davers paused and looked at Lizaru: "You still live in the original camp, and you also have to include the river beach where the original Third Fleet parked its warships, and continue to improve the defense of the camp, compared to other legions, you have to work harder, but you must understand that you are guarding the material transportation base of the entire army, which is very important!" Be careful and don't go wrong! ”

"Leave it to our Third Legion, Your Majesty, don't worry!" Lizaru exclaimed.

Davers nodded and looked around at the legion commanders: "Everyone understands the location of their legions, don't hesitate to mention any difficulties." ”

Several legion commanders looked at the map and said they had no opinion, only Giogris looked embarrassed. Seeing this, Davers immediately said, "Giogris, if you have any difficulties, just say it. ”

"Your Majesty, the southwest corner of the city is full of messy houses, there is not enough open space for the Fifth Legion to camp, and there is garbage everywhere, and the smell is unpleasant, which is not conducive to the rest of the soldiers...... There's a lot of open space near the arena, and I'll see if I can get the Fifth Legion to camp here in the arena as well. ”

When Davers heard this, he hurriedly looked at the map, which did not mark the slum on the southwest corner of the city of Rome, but he believed Giogris's statement, after all, they were the generals close to the front.

"Yes!" Davers immediately complied with Giogris's suggestion, and asked the commander of the Sixth Legion: "Trotras, do you have any difficulty camping in the southeast corner of your Sixth Legion?" ”

"Your Majesty, I observed when I went to the city, there is enough open space there, and there is no problem with camping."

After talking about the infantry legion, Davers looked at the cavalry commander again: "The camp of the two cavalry legions is on the north side of Mount Sirio and the south side of the square, there is a large bazaar, which is not needed by the Romans now, and when I entered the city gate just now, I also saw that there are some corrals and stables in the bazaar that are just suitable for your cavalry. ”

Neither Rydes nor Kuzius had an opinion.

"Now that the camps of each legion have been determined, let's clarify your defense area." Davers pointed to the map and continued: "The section of the wall that each legion attacked at the beginning is the section of the wall that you will be patrolling separately, and at the same time, each legion is also responsible for order and safety in the city, and the preliminary plan is as follows: the fourth and fifth legions are responsible for the city south of the arena, the first and sixth legions are responsible for the city north of the Roman Forum to the Esquiri Mountain, and the second legion, the fleet infantry, and the mountain reconnaissance brigade are responsible for the area in the middle of the city. ”

Speaking of which, Davers looked at Mattonis: "Your Second Legion is responsible for the largest area, but the number of soldiers is the smallest, but you don't have to worry, according to the information I have received so far, most of these residents of the middle city are Roman nobles, but many of them have fled to Capitoline Mountain, and your task is relatively easy." ”

"Your Majesty, even if they are all still there, our brothers of the Second Legion will not have any pressure, they are all old and young, women and children, what is there to fear!" Martonis said confidently.

"The Third Legion is responsible for the north bank of the Roman vertebral bridge, as well as for the port we are about to build there. As for the two cavalry legions, your task is to inspect the whole city, find abnormalities, and promptly notify the legions in the area in charge, so that they can solve the problem, the city is not conducive to cavalry combat, and do not let our precious cavalry be lost here. In addition, the legions should seize the time to improve the sections of the city they defended, arrange deer barricades outside the city walls, and dig traps...... In order to ensure that we no longer need to pay large casualties to be able to easily defend this city that already belongs to us...... Oh, by the way, the two breaches of the walls that your Fourth and Fifth Legions have collapsed and need to be repaired quickly! ”

"Your Majesty, our soldiers are already stepping up their tinkering." Giogris said immediately.

"Good!" Davers nodded at him with satisfaction, Giogris was not as brave as Matonis, nor as wise as Olivers, and even a little timid by nature, but it was precisely because of his timidity that he became cautious and careful, and at some point he could play an important role.

"Your Majesty, what about us? Where do we stay? What is our mission? You won't forget about us! Epitenis asked anxiously.

"How could you have forgotten your troops!" Davers laughed, then pointed to the hill sign next to the western section of the northeast wall, and said in a deep voice, "I ask you to lead the troops to build a camp and enclose Capitoline Mountain." ”

"Wouldn't it be better to attack it directly?!" Epitenis suggested loudly.

"No, we're going to keep it." Davers smiled secretly: "In this way, we can control the Roman army outside the city." ”

Davos's words made the Legion Commanders think for thought.

"You've all figured out what you're doing, and who else has a different opinion?"

"Nope." The generals replied in unison.

"How many captives have we captured?" Davers turned to Tolmid.

"Preliminary statistics put it at more than 21,300 people."

"That's a lot of people."

"A lot of them are the elderly, women, children...... And slaves. Tolmid reminded.

"Let go the captives over the age of 55 and under the age of 15, and the rest will be taken by your legions as laborers...... Wait—" Davers suddenly remembered something, and changed his words, "First distinguish between the nobles and commoners among these captives, and also make it clear to the nobles' diners, whether old or young, that nobles and diners are not allowed to be released." ”

"This ...... We are not very familiar with the situation in Rome, and if we want to distinguish between them, I am afraid it will not be possible to do it in a short time. Tolmid looked embarrassed.

"You...... Take Valquez, the Roman slave who has just surrendered to us, and let him do the preliminary discernment, and you will be in charge of overseeing it. "Davers understood that his men were good at war, but had no experience in other government affairs, and he was now desperate for the senators and administrators in Ostia.

"Understood." Tolmid took the order.

"Orops, the engineering team you organized has made a large number of siege engines in a short period of time, and has made a great contribution to our capture of the city of Rome! ......" Davers did not hesitate to praise and told the military judges that the contributions of engineers and carpenters must be recorded as an important basis for rewarding land according to merit after the war.

Then he made a request: "I need you to lead all the engineers to build a simple dock as soon as possible on the river beach where the ships of the Third Fleet are parked, so that our cargo ships can dock and load and unload supplies." ”

Ollops was surprised: "Your Majesty, isn't there a river harbor here!" Why build another one? ”

Davers knew that although Aropes was a mercenary, he had been obsessed with researching and manufacturing equipment all these years, and he didn't know much about the current situation, so he patiently explained to him: "The Roman army is coming, I'm afraid there are nearly 70,000 people, with the situation of our current army, it is not appropriate to fight with it, and we can only hold this Roman city for the time being, and the river port is outside the city of Rome, and there is no strong city wall to protect it, if you want to defend it, you need to pay a lot of casualties, which is completely unnecessary, so I can only ask you!" Tomorrow, a large number of men and cargo ships will arrive in the city of Rome, and I hope you will speed up the construction of the docks! ”

"We'll do our best!" Auropes replied in a deep voice that although he felt some pressure, he was confident that he would be able to build the dock tomorrow, after all, he now had more than 1,000 experienced and skilled engineers and craftsmen (including the engineering battalions of the various regiments) and sufficient timber.
