The Macedonian army came to the city of Rome, and they brought with them tall stone catapults.

The defenders of Rome were well-organized but few of them, in stark contrast to the Macedonian army that sprawled the mountains outside the city.

At this time, it is most appropriate to describe the city of Rome with the phrase "black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it".

The Macedonian warriors were in high spirits, because they were about to capture important battle results. From generals to soldiers, everyone was excited.

Right in front of you, right in front of you, this is the heart of the Roman Republic.

The fortifications of the city of Rome were ordinary stone walls. The garrison consisted of an elite garrison in the city of Rome, as well as a heavy cavalry led by the military president of the Senate, Marcus Maxentius. The Romans wanted to use the garrison soldiers to fight the besiegers one-on-one at the head of the city.

But Macedonia had a way to go directly into the city.

Aloyos wasn't prepared to do too much. The attacking forces on all sides were scattered and the stone shells were limited. He was to lead his troops in a bloody battle with the enemy directly from the main gate.

The army stood still, and the engineers operated the stone crossbow to shoot hard stone projectiles. Three slinging groups, a total of six stone cannons fired at the same time.

"All to all"

Stone bullets hit the city walls, and although simple mechanical hits depend on probability, most of them still hit the predetermined point.

Aloyos ordered to concentrate all the stone projectiles on the city wall at one point. At first, the skin of the wall began to fall off piece by piece, and then the head of the wall collapsed, and after a blow, the wall was completely opened. The catapult kept firing, widening the gap. After that, the engineer used the stone crossbow to change direction, and several rounds of projection smashed the arrow stacks on the left and right of the entrance to the city, and the defense facilities of the stone city gate were also destroyed.

It is possible to siege the city.

Aloyos simply ordered all of his white-knuckle troops to enter the city together, with the archers following in the back row, so that everyone could feel the sense of accomplishment in capturing the enemy's central city.

The archers covered the echelons in front of them and shot arrows at the city. The infantry of the elite Roman garrison stood at the head of the city, with battlements and excellent armor, and did not care about the bows and arrows that came at them. They moved to the gap in the walls and waited for the enemy to approach.

The first echelon, approaching the stone wall, was hit by heavy javelins from the elite Roman garrison at the head of the city. Many of the soldiers who won the bid were killed on the spot.

The two pikes of the first echelon were severely weakened, and the phalanx of Greek militia spears that had been the first to run over and try to enter the city suffered heavy casualties, shouting, scattering, and turning in great flight. It seems that the combat effectiveness of the infantry of the elite Roman garrison is really remarkable. Just throwing a javelin is so deadly and imposing. Fortunately, they had a limited number of javelins in their hands, and they ran out in a short time.

At this time, the Macedonian troops seized the opportunity and quickly entered the city. Due to the large number of people, the place entering the city was extremely crowded, and the order of the procession was also chaotic.

Seeing this, Aloyos shook his head and immediately ordered:

The troops in the rear stopped entering the city and retreated to the starting point of the attack as follow-up troops. Light infantry and archers also did not enter the city for the time being, waiting for orders to attack again.

He also ordered:

Light cavalry and Greek cavalry units remained outside the city as reserves. He himself led his personal guards, his fellow cavalry, and Macedonian heavy cavalry into the city.

After entering the city, the battle sequence of the Macedonian troops was:

Two conscripts opened the way, followed by the Macedonian phalanx, followed by the royal phalanx infantry from the Praetorian Guard. Behind the infantry were hoplites.

The elite Roman garrison also shrewdly withdrew quickly from the city, and joined the Roman Praetorian Guard, the Youth Army, and the General Guard in an orderly manner. They chose a street corner jam point. The Roman generals Marcus Maxentius and Severs Maxentius came to the front to oversee the battle. Marcus took matters into his own hands and decided to fight the Macedonians to the death here.

Having understood the intentions of the Romans, Aloyos decided to storm the city. In his eyes, the Macedonian phalanx was an impregnable wall, impregnable, and attacked like a torrent of steel.

The Macedonians, braving their javelins, quickly turned corners and opened the gun array. Limited to the width of the street, the aisle has been sealed in a row of two phalanxes, and the orderly columns behind follow suit.

Engaged! The Macedonian phalanx infantry clenched their spears and stabbed the enemy desperately. The Romans were unequivocal, and it was the elite garrisons that took the lead. The two garrisons formed two special formations, called tortoiseshell bombs. This was a method used by the Roman high-ranking legionnaires to break through the traditional Greek phalanx.

This formation is just like the name, all the members of the phalanx are so dense that the large shields are stacked on top of each other, forming protection from each other, like a turtle shell to protect the inner body.

The front, left, and right directions, including the top, are covered with shields, and people can avoid the dense guns of bow strikes or spear phalanxes inside. The two strange phalanxes stood still, the Macedonian phalanx advanced steadily, and the sound of spears and shields clanged but could not hurt them.

When they got close enough, the turtle fang array suddenly erupted, and the warriors inside rushed out, and the flowers exploded in the spear phalanx in an instant.

Divide the phalanx from the middle. The Roman soldiers in the rear also rushed to help.

The phalanx soldiers were not afraid and still tried to maintain their formation. If you can't do it, you drop your spear and fight with your short sword.

Seeing that the blow had succeeded, Marcus immediately led his cavalry to charge the gap. The first row of phalanxes was completely disrupted. But instead of turning back and fleeing, they fought to the end.

The tortoiseshell formation could only be used once, as the subsequent Macedonian phalanx infantry came up to fill in and entangle the enemy in close combat.

Although the Roman side had only two generals, its guards were the size of a cavalry brigade, and their combat effectiveness and impact were extremely strong.

The Macedonian infantry fought hard to assassinate the enemy. The Roman army still retained its propulsion.

Seeing that in the moment of crisis, Aloyos could not let the elite infantry advance line be defeated, so that the Romans would really stage a big drama of turning defeat into victory.

He decisively ordered the cavalry units to join the battle and withstand the enemy's cavalry.

At this time, the two sides fought hard with real swords and guns, crowded, breathless, and life and death were so close. Yes! The cavalry and infantry have fought indistinguishably between you and me, teammates, oh, they can't take care of their teammates anymore, and the only thing that drives the soldiers to move on to the next move is the survival instinct and the instinct to fight and kill.

The young people on both sides may have become friends, but now they have become mortal enemies who stand in each other's way. No one turns, no one weakens.

The tragic war that consumed the lives of these young and hot-blooded excellent soldiers is the most heartbreaking.

Aloyos let out a high-pitched, high-pitched roar, wanting to share his energy with his brothers.

In the end, the Macedonian side defeated the Roman defenders by virtue of their numerical superiority and the advantage of spearmen against cavalry. When Marcus and Severs were stabbed from their horses with spears one after another, the Roman army lost its backbone. but heartbroken resistance to the end......

The Macedonian army was even more fanatical, and they stormed the central square of the city of Rome, where only one elite Roman garrison was fighting to the death.

The Macedonian phalanx was surrounded on all sides and attacked at the same time. Blood stained the smooth stone slabs of the square. The commander of the Macedonian phalanx, Aristock Senus, stubbornly planted the glorious flag of Macedonia in the square. At this time, he was already blood-stained and his robe was red through his armor, and he had many hard wounds.

The Macedonian fighters cheered! Victory belongs to the warriors, and they deserve it.

Macedonia declared the occupation of the city of Rome.

Aloyos was busy taking care of everything in the city. In order to win the hearts of the people and the health of the city, he ordered the burial of all the warriors who died on both sides of the war. The people of the city of Rome did not want the opulent city to be sacked, they were willing to submit to the new regime.
