Chapter 670: Entering the City

The walls of Constantine were hung with Han flags, and there was not much confusion in the city.

Since the three Roman legions decided to surrender in the early morning, the order to abandon resistance has been issued in the army, and the people who are hiding at home do not dare to go to the streets easily, and when the sky gradually brightens, the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps sounded at the end of the street, and the bold ones quietly pushed open the cracks in the windows to look outside.

Stomp –

The horses' hooves of iron ran through the stone bricks of the street, and a group of horsemen in black armor, holding swords and round shields, galloped from below, and among them, they threw an egg at the cavalrymen who had passed, and were pulled back by their own families, and then the three horsemen turned back and stopped, rushed into the house and dragged the man out, cut off his head with a knife, and hung it under the eaves, and then got on his horse again and left.

This was more or less happening in many parts of the city, but it was not too great, and there were also troops in the army who were dissatisfied with the surrender of the three commanders, and organized some soldiers to resist in the streets, or rushed out of the city gates towards the Thracian province to the northwest. The resistance in the city was gradually disintegrated after the main force of the Hanxi expeditionary army settled in and guarded the main roads of the city gate, and the rebels were captured and beheaded directly in the most populous bazaar in the city.

Thousands of heads were erected on wooden stakes, and their blood-stained eyes were wide as they watched the armies in front of them marching into the city, and the Roman soldiers fleeing outside the city had been pursued by the Wuhuan cavalry and Parthians, and the slaughter soon spread over the field, and the cavalry covering the past was like a tide to scatter and crush the already defeated army, and the spread corpses were crushed back and forth by this group of people as if venting, and the corpses that were trampled by the horses' hooves could be seen everywhere, and then the troops were collected.

Constantinople as the second largest city in Rome, in fact, the city defense is absolutely tight, coupled with the geographical advantage of being surrounded by the sea on three sides, it is very difficult to attack from the east, and the commerce from the east and west will pass through here, and even the Aegean Sea and the Pontus Sea in the north and south have to pass through this narrow route, in any country, such a city has unimaginable wealth and cultural interweaving.

It was nearly dusk, and after the troops sent into the city in advance cleared the hidden dangers, Gongsun Zhi and a group of generals led their own soldiers one after another, rode across the stone bridge of the moat, passed through the towers with overlapping heights, and entered one of the most glorious cities of the era. The streets paved with brown tiles, the horses' hooves slowly stepped over them, the timid eyes of the buildings in the streets looked down through the cracks, made eye contact with him, and quickly shrank back, and the army entered the city and waved butcher's knives at those who dared to be rude, which also frightened ordinary civilians.

"This city is kind of powerful." Xiahou Yuan looked left and right, and said to Cao Chun and Zhang Fei next to him: "When I came in, the city wall had three floors....one layer of the moat, and there was one floor of the two towers of high and low. ”

Zhang Fei glared viciously at a pair of eyes behind the window on the second floor of the building in front of him, and when he was frightened and the other party retracted, he laughed: "That's when they met the elite division." If the Great Qin people were next to our Han Dynasty, his mother who had already beaten would have been eager to give birth to an extra leg. ”

Next to him, Cao Chun glanced at him, "Talking nonsense." After finishing speaking, he clenched the hilt of the knife and reminded in a low voice: "Keep more heart, beware of this Great Qin people's fraudulent surrender." ”

Behind the team, there were the Bingzhou cavalry who had just entered the city, the brigade was left outside the city, and only five hundred people followed in, Lu Bu didn't care too much about the city with different styles in front of him, at most it was a strange look, and the girl behind him rode a curly-haired red rabbit to run left and right, and from time to time she would come down to touch the strange carvings on the rock pillars standing on the side of the street.

"Dad, look over there, what kind of beast is engraved on it?"

".....Look over there, the water gushing out of the pool can be so high, and the stone pillars that surround it are so big, how did they transport it....and there are ......" The girl stood up on the rope and pointed to the stone beam attached to the top of the circular stone pillar, "Hang it so high, aren't the people of Daqin afraid of falling to death?" ”

"It's not the Great Qin people who died." Gao Shun endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but hold back a sentence.

……

The long procession continued to move forward for a while, the houses gradually became scarce, the square stone platforms increased on both sides, all kinds of strange sculptures appeared, through the paved pattern of the cross square, everyone dismounted and walked, just fifty zhang away is the oblique stone steps, there are more than fifty steps, a group of people come up, the sight is raised, they are flanked by a huge stone platform, on which two large beast statues like cats and dogs squatting there, open their bloody mouths and look down at the square below.

"It's the craft of the Greeks." As a guide and general, Marcus was a Roman, a city of cultures, from Egypt and Greece to Rome and the tribes and nations of East and Central Asia.

Today, the coffin containing Severus is still inside.

As the sun set to the west, the caravans of the families in the rear followed closely after the generals entered the city, and for this city with infinite potential, these people left behind the stewards and goods, and flocked to the palace here with rich gifts, ready to meet the wolf king, hoping that their own trade would be more profitable.

The crowd crowded up the stone steps, Lu Xun told the old servant holding the expensive gift to the side, while he carefully guarded the exquisite silver box in his arms, walked into the towering rock pillar arch, the magnificent hall, the merchants were stopped by the soldiers, waiting inside, whispering and looking around, hundreds of eyes greedily swept here everywhere, from the huge gold to the six pairs of ivory on the wall as decoration, and even the golden throne on the first place was thinking about whether it could be taken from Gongsun Zhi's hands, after all, such a heavy thing, For the Western Expeditionary Army, it is impossible to move away, it is better to dissolve ..... replace it with something more practical.

In the noisy voice, Lu Xun's eyes swept around, and finally on the right side of the first place in front, the arch leading to the apse, he saw the figure of the whole body, the head of the beast with two exquisite arms, holding the crescent halberd, standing there heroically, he hurriedly squeezed towards the girl, and before he could get close, he was stopped by several guard wolf riders.

"I know the girl over there...... A few people are tired and accommodating. The young man smiled and pointed to the other side, and the wolf rider who was in front of him stretched out his arms and did not speak, but shook his head. He glanced over there, and the girl also happened to look over, Lu Xun waved his hand excitedly: "Lingqi, I'm here." ”

Hongling swayed slightly, Lu Lingqi heard the voice, kicked her apricot eyes, and stepped forward with the crescent halberd, and before she could speak, Lu Xun rushed in front and smiled: "Lingqi, are you waiting for me here?" ”
