When Lucis saw the Han army surrounding him, he believed that he had been designed by the Han army again, and regretted not listening to Marcus's advice, but fortunately half of the army remained in Adrianaburg.

Lucis was determined to use his 150,000-strong army to consume the strength of the Han army to the greatest extent possible.

It's a pity that he was wrong, the Han army is already a very mature firearms army, and in the case of dominance, it will never fight with its own enemies.

After the Han army surrounded the Roman legions, they began to build a circle of defensive positions, then placed artillery on the high ground and machine guns on the defensive positions, first trapped the Romans here, and then began to attack the city of Athens.

The defenders of Athens had received news that Lucis' reinforcements had been besieged by the combined Han and Persian forces, and the last bit of hope had been dashed.

The defenders of Athens were, of course, auxiliary legions, mainly Greeks, and the Roman legions of the Romans were all transferred by Lucis and Marcus.

Despite the opposition of the governor of the province, the tribune of Athens decided to surrender the city, only asking the coalition forces not to destroy the ancient city of a thousand-year-old civilization and not to slaughter the Athenian civilians.

The representative of Athens met with Lü Bu himself, and he conveyed the terms of surrender of the tribune, and if the coalition forces refused, then the Athenians would also live and die with the city of Athens and fight to the end.

Lü Bu was not a tiger and wolf king, he still had a deep respect for the ancient Greek civilization, and he was willing to take over the city of Athens peacefully rather than blindly relying on force and violence to solve problems.

He agreed to the Athenians' terms of surrender, promising not to massacre cities, not to plunder, and not to destroy the ancient buildings of Athens.

After receiving Lü Bu's affirmative reply, the Athenians laid down their arms and went out of the city to surrender to the Han army, and the Han army also kept its promise and did not destroy any buildings in the city of Athens.

After taking care of Athens behind him, the Han army could devote all its energy to dealing with Lucis in the encirclement.

Lu Bu's method was simpler, that is, to bombard with artillery, and those who dared to break through were driven back with machine guns, and they were surrounded without attacking, and these Romans came to the aid from Adrianaburg, and it was impossible to bring much food, and they starved to death.

There is no need to lose the soldiers of the Han army, fight with them, waste some bullets and food to clean them up, and surrender the soldiers without a fight!

In the face of the unreasonable fighting style of the Han army, Lucis had no choice, not necessarily when the shells would fall on his head, and all the Romans did not dare to sleep and rest at all.

The sleepy and hungry Roman soldiers, who began to surrender to the Han army, were immediately provided with hot food.

With the precedent, it was much easier for the people behind to surrender, and every day a large number of low-level soldiers surrendered to the Han army with weapons, just to eat a hot meal.

On the sixth day of the siege, there was nothing to eat, nothing to eat except for the war horses.

Lucis looked at the troops that had already surrendered and fled half of his troops, and finally let go of his damn face and surrendered to the Han army, his plan to consume the Han army was in vain.

The 150,000 Roman troops, in addition to those who fled and were killed by the Han army, the remaining more than 130,000 troops, led by Lucis, the commander of the Roman Empire's Eastern Legion, surrendered to the Han army that surrounded them.

The Han army did not lose much manpower, so they successfully forced down Lucis's 150,000 troops, and took the city of Athens without a single shot.

With the precedent of the surrender of Athens, the combined forces of the Han army and Persia swept through the entire Greek peninsula unusually smoothly, and everywhere the coalition army went, they were all willing to surrender.

At this time, Marcus and his army of 150,000 were still besieged in Adrianaburg, and the Persian army firmly surrounded them.

Marcus also tried to break through after Lucis left, but the Persians were fierce in attack and defense, and he didn't have much to take advantage of.

Ardashir I personally sat outside the encirclement and conscientiously carried out the tasks assigned by Lü Bu.

After the Greek peninsula had been conquered, Lü Bu re-commanded the army to join the Persian army, and Marcus could see from the high top of the city, and a large number of Han troops returned from the south and re-entered the besieging barracks.

Lü Burang Lucis, who had surrendered, wrote a letter to Marcus telling him that the entire Greek peninsula had been occupied by the Han army, and that his Adriana Fort had become a lone army.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Roman Empire would only stick to Italy proper, and would never send a single reinforcement to the Greek Peninsula.

Lucis persuaded Marcus to choose to surrender for the sake of 150,000 Roman soldiers, and not let their families worry about them anymore, there was no point in annihilating the whole army.

Unmoved, Marcus even killed Lucis's lieutenant who went to deliver the letter as a sign of his determination to fight to the end.

Lü Bu was enraged by the stubborn Marcus, he ordered the Han army and the Persian army to immediately start attacking the city, he wanted to break the city, personally behead this Marcus, what a famous general of the great retreat of Nicaea, just escape!

The Han army still used the traditional method of digging trenches to the bottom of the city, and the death squads of the Han army and the Persian army carried out a ladder siege of the city, and the Han army pulled up the ten-inch heavy field artillery to attack the walls of Adrianaburg.

After a few days of stubborn resistance by the Romans, the Han army began to use explosives and blasting tactics.

Because the walls of Adriana Fort were stronger than expected, the Han army used an unprecedented weight when using explosives.

When the explosives were finally detonated, although a section of the city wall more than ten zhang wide was successfully blown down, dozens of sappers who detonated the explosives were also killed and wounded, because they did not evacuate to the safety area in time.

At the moment when the wall collapsed, the daredevils who had been waiting for a long time rushed into the gap, and grenades flew towards the enemy behind the wall.

The Romans also frantically flocked to the gap in the wall, trying to plug the gap as soon as possible.

However, the coalition soldiers were already gaining momentum, and they continued to attack the sides of the gap, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the swarming Romans.

Coalition forces in other regions also climbed ladders to attack the city, and the horizontal swords of the Han army fought with the Persian scimitars and the bronze swords of the Romans.

The morale of the Romans was only temporary, after all, the coalition forces had a numerical advantage, the follow-up infantry was endless, and the Han army that attacked the city could calmly shoot with rifles.

When the Han army finally attacked the governor's palace in Adrianaburg, they captured the main general Marcus alive, finally ending the resistance of the Romans.

The Roman legions in the city laid down their arms and surrendered to the Han army, but Lü Bu did not break the city and kill them as intended, but imprisoned them with Lucis's men.

The coalition built a large prisoner of war camp in Farsala where more than 200,000 Roman legionaries were captured after the war began.
