Chapter 123: Separate Actions
Podare Ríos, who was about to gain great fame and prestige, could be said to be the final judge of Rome. He used his thunderous momentum, as fast as lightning, and as precise as thunder, to defeat the Roman Julius family.
But he was calm and did not have any pride, the Roman Republic once threatened the survival of Macedonia, and it was his ancestors who fought against the Romans with blood and tears. It was his father's hard work, and the diligence and toil of abandoning the family that brought down the northern Italians. He was just the last one to come up and stretch out his hand to push the wall to it.
Yes, from beginning to end, the one who participated in all the actions against the Roman Republic was Aloyous. He went from a cavalry captain to a corps general, from the heir to the throne to the current king of Macedonia. He has been dealing with the opponent across the coast, and has been fighting hard and hard against the enemy for the benefit of the kingdom.
In order to expose the veil of hypocrisy in Rome, he repeatedly violated the will of the king, and there were constant conflicts between father and son, even ignoring the question of the choice of heir. Because he knew that with a little slack, the Romans would win the initiative. Not only his personal death, but also the favorable situation in Macedonia could be reversed.
Aloyos' greatest achievement in his life must have been the conquest of Rome. He was the true king of Rome.
Now that his son has taken his place in such an honor, he is extremely proud. I thought that I used to watch my son grow up day by day, and his intelligence was better than his own, so he had to silently pay more to create the framework of the empire for him.
Today, after receiving a handwritten letter from Podarre Rios in Rome, he is overjoyed to know that the child has grown up and is alone in control of the situation to defeat the last power of Rome.
After Aloyos took over the affairs of Latin Rome, the two countries ceased fighting. He changed his mind, intending to suppress Rome's power by economic means. At first, he didn't know where to start, and the people of the Julius family were equally proficient in it. But when he recruited the former treasurers of the Brutus family, he discovered why these people were called "greedy Brutus".
Whatever the accounts or economic measures, they are simply a bunch of ruthless vampires. But that's the kind of person that Aloyos wants now. His words deeply influenced Podare Ríos, a teenager who had long accepted nature's laws of survival of the fittest.
Gradually, with the help of the old Brutus Treasurer, the support of his partners, and the strong economic and trade power of the Macedonian kingdom itself. Aloyos' infiltration of Rome's economy and society led to a decline in the economic development of Julius's camp, and the streets were full of resentment, soaring prices, and complaints. At one point, Rome was in turmoil. Flavies's policies no longer won the hearts of the people.
The moment ripe for Podare Ríos to strike. He himself knew that he had a six-point chance of victory when he sent out the army.
Battlefield Arettion
Arriving outside the Roman capital, Podare Rios was full of confidence. He rode on a tall horse and looked out over the city and the surrounding terrain in the distance.
"What a nice city. The land is also very nice, and the flat grass is as pleasant as a carpet. If the enemy dares to fight, it will be a bitter battle. Our cavalry will show their skills. "Podare Ríos.
But when the Romans heard of the general's prestige, they were too frightened to leave the city. Only shrunk behind the walls and shivered. "There are generals who will cater to him.
"The Romans were brave. I know that at this moment they are behind the city gates and vow to live and die with the Eagle Banner. ”
Everyone was silent. The general turned to look at his soldiers, all of them gray and tired. But the mental outlook is still so stubborn and strong.
Podare Rios thought to himself: My brothers who share life and death, everyone is very tired. This time it was a continuous operation, galloping to fight for the fighter plane, and then went through two fierce battles. It's too tiring. He sees it all, but he's not an emotional person. Although I thought a lot in my heart, my face was still so serious and cold.
"Are we going to take the city now?" He spoke in a relaxed, casual tone.
"Yes~" The big guy's voice is uneven, some long and some short. I found the tone hard to hear, but I was really tired.
Leo Charles scolded: "Didn't they eat one by one? Is it still angry to touch yourself? All speak loud and answer the commander-in-chief hard! ”
"Yes!" The momentum came back all at once.
Podare Rios smiled cutely and turned to face the soldiers, full of concern. His smile was a little proud, and he originally wanted to test everyone's true thoughts through this casual questioning. Sure enough, as he expected, so can he be unexpected? On weekdays, he is ruthless in acting impartially and ruthlessly towards enemies, but how can he not care about his own people, how can he not be affectionate?
"My valiant soldiers, after these two battles of life and death. I have seen your bravery with my own eyes and heard with my own ears your indomitable spirit. I believe that you can be the pride of the Kingdom of Macedonia. You are one of the most elite legions in the kingdom, and when the war is over, I will give you a grand reward for your deeds.
It is to each and every one of you who won the Battle of Regulia and broke down the outer defenses of Arretien. I will not forget that the Macedonian system of military merit will also guarantee your rights and interests
Now that we've won the absolute advantage over the Roman family of Julius, it's time for the siege. Although the enemy has only two cities left, the Roman soldiers are not a bad breed, and you can only be better than them. I say without any diminution that the capture of the Roman city will not be an easy task, and everyone should be mentally prepared for a bloody battle.
It's a serious topic, but it's necessary for everyone to be vigilant and fight. You can trust me, so that we will reduce casualties.
Now, what I want you to do is, rest. In a few days, when you have your spirits up, it will be the day when we will have a drink in the city of Rome and celebrate our victory! ”
Resting the soldiers was on Podare's radar, but he had a deeper idea.
First of all, it is reasonable that he personally does not intend to continue to personally take the fighters into the city, and the commander does not take risks.
Second, siege warfare is often a hard-fought duel, and soldiers must be kept in sufficient physical strength and good mental state.
Thirdly, siege warfare was originally fought on narrow city walls and streets, which was not convenient for battle formations to unfold. Therefore, the siege team is not too fine, and the three main army corps are a bit of a fuss. This surplus manpower should be diverted to do more.
Then, the question of intelligence. He wanted to pause for a moment before sending out scouts to make sure Rome had no more mobile troops.
In addition, Podare Rios is young and vigorous, and although he is not in a hurry, he is still looking for a quick victory. The plan in his mind was already formed, which was to attack both cities at once, while also eliminating the Roman reinforcements on the Rubicon.
Finally, he had to go back to the city of Rome, where he could coordinate the overall situation, coordinate the dispatch, and provide reinforcements if necessary.
The Macedonian army was thirty miles away from the enemy city and encamped on a high ground. Podarerios stabilized the morale of the army, held an important military meeting that night, and assigned tasks to the generals. After he probably finished talking about the work, everyone you and I will supplement the coordination. The atmosphere was harmonious.
"Tomorrow morning, I will leave for the city of Rome to prepare the logistics and overall planning for all of you. In three days' time, I'll write to you, and we'll all go our separate ways. I'm going to unify all of Rome in a month, do you understand? ”
"Yes! Sir. ”
"I await your good news in front of the triumphal arch of the Palazzo Dio-Azorpa!"
