Bang –

The rope was cut off, the wooden spoon twisted to the extreme bounced violently, the terrifying force shook the entire stone throwing base, the huge rock flew through the sky, drawing a long trajectory, accompanied by the hysterical shouts of dozens of zhang on the opposite side, there was a loud bang, the round stone bullet rolled on the ground, the fragments flew everywhere, in the diffuse dust and smoke, the fragmented corpse could no longer see the shape of a person, in Latin, the Romans pushed through the scorpion cannon to the opposite side, and the slightly smaller stone bullet smashed towards the high stone thrower, It was also the same Roman soldier who ran away screaming, and the wooden pillars supporting the frame behind him burst with a bang, and the stone-throwing machine that was three feet tall tilted and then toppled over, scattering the debris and debris all over the ground.

On October 17, the Western Expeditionary Army fought for the third time for the east road of Constantine, in the previous military discussion, all the generals understood that this was not a real battlefield, after the war, they did not really send soldiers to the bridge to seize, a distance of dozens of zhang wide, and the height below was even more terrified by the soldiers who were not afraid of the sky and the earth, and at the moment of the battle, they tried to cover and suppress with stone throwers and bows and arrows, and tried to make a huge illusion.

After all, it's a dark plan.

Moving south along the trench line, more than 200 miles, the men and auxiliaries pushed the bridge parts, or tied their bodies down the cliff, and built the beams and columns supporting the bridge against the cliff wall. But in any case, they hoped that through this friendly expression, the troops from the East could help Greece recover......

Two thousand craftsmen from the East and the West rushed for several days, plus the army assisted from the side, on October 20, the bridge to the opposite side of the trench was finally completed, and at the same time, the Roman scouts who detected the movement brought another army of Constantine to the bridge thirty miles away, and then Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, who crossed the bridge first, led two cavalry to directly defeat the opponent's more than 10,000 people, although the other party made a gesture of resistance, but Zhao Yun still noticed that the Roman legion did not have much will to fight.

With just one charge, the army showed signs of defeat. Ma Chao dispersed a Roman rout, gathered the team and came back, saw Zhao Yun on the slope of Zhuma Mountain, and approached directly: "Brother-in-law, I think there is a problem." ”

"Could it be that the Great Qin people are cheating?" Zhao Yun looked at the group of Romans who were kneeling and begging to surrender, and summoned a herald cavalry: "Convey the situation here back to the lord." ”

In the afternoon, the main force of the Western Expeditionary Army began to move south from the east side of Constantine, and on the side of the newly built bridge, the craftsman battalion and the logistics battalion came with the Parthian cavalry, Kushan, Dawan and the Greek Restoration Army, spanning more than 20 miles to build a defense, and then the main force of the Western Expeditionary Army crossed the bridge on the morning of the fifth day to the south of Constantine.

By this time, the armies had swept a radius of more than 200 miles, and the farthest distance was almost Macedonia, and a large number of Roman citizens, poor people, and even slaves in the manors who had not had time to flee were captured by the army and driven towards Constantine, surrounding this lonely city.

"So, Severus is probably dead......"

Gongsun Zhi rode on a war horse, in the red light of the setting sun, he looked at the numb walking slaves, crying Roman citizens, civilians stretched densely to the sky, the galloping Huns, Xianbei cavalry let out a terrifying laugh, driving away this seeping ocean, from time to time from the crowd to twist the woman out to vent, or wanton slashing, the struggling figure around the neck, riding and dragging it, waiting to stop, only the flesh and blood are left with the wreckage.

"Then don't waste time, just attack the city!"

The words of the order went on, the galloping cavalry blew the horn of the attack, and at the end of October, the wailing and screaming crowds poured into Constantine, and after a large number of Romans consumed the first rain of arrows in the city, the soldiers of the Greek Restoration Army and the Western Liang Army mixed in the crowd erected a ladder and set up a ladder on the city wall—

In the sound of war drums, the detachable 325 stone throwers have also been assembled, swinging in a fan shape, and the Great Han Governor rode his horse forward with a ring-headed sword, and the voice sounded, roaring out: "Stone bullets, ready!" ”

A large number of piled up stone bullets were pushed down from the cart, and were lifted by several people and put into the wooden spoon that was pressed down hard, and the inlay part of the lever squeaked and extended one after another, and dozens of cavalrymen almost shouted with the loudest voice under the wave of the flag: "- smash them!" ”

Boom –

Boom Boom Boom –

A handle blade cut down, the moment the rope broke, the water tank-sized stone bullet flew high, one after another rushed into the sky, through the residual red of the sunset, towards the distance across the city wall of dozens of miles, the crowd climbed up like an ant colony, the spear frantically stabbed downward, more Romans ran on it, panicked, the soldiers with bows and arrows hid behind the battlements, gasping for breath, the nerves were already tense to the extreme, the bloody fingers grabbed an arrow again, and got up violently, A huge shadow shrouded his eyes, and there was a loud bang, and the wall in front of him cracked and flew, and the splashed stone shards were like the blades of a man, slashing his neck, and the stone projectiles that smashed down the wall battlements tumbled up, running over the corpses of the archers, and crashing into a group of Roman soldiers rushing to this side, a moaning body writhing on the ground, and the broken, crushed stumps formed a terrifying red. Countless noises and panic sounded backwards, beyond this section of the city wall, which was a huge and magnificent city, in the neatly stacked buildings, the streets and alleys were long deserted, and the civilians hiding in their homes, men huddled in the corners with their wives and children in their arms, quietly listening to the hysterical fighting sound coming from the wall.

Then, a huge roar sounded not far from their street, and the child in his arms ran curiously to the window, and through the gap, a stone bullet was embedded in a two-story earthen building opposite, and the people in the house screamed and rushed into the street...... In the sky, many rocks fell, and the streets south of the city were in chaos.

In the face of the frantic offensive of the Cylius, Parthians, and Greeks, Constantine, who had already died and had no backbone, held out for an hour, and the golden spike eagle banner was lowered, and someone appeared on the top of the city with a white banner, and then the three Roman legions defending the city sent people to the outside of the city.

"It seems that Severus is really dead, but I'm curious, why didn't Constantine have reinforcements for so long?"

In the evening, in the last afterglow of the sun, the tent temporarily set up, the candles were lit, and a bonfire for heating was also burned, Gongsun Zhi led the generals to stand at the tent and said, and then dragged the cloak back into it, "...... the Great Qin people are good at fighting, needless to say, the importance of this city is needless to say, they can't fail to see it, unless there is something more important to drag the reinforcements." ”

"Could it be General Sun?" Yan Rou pressed her hands on her knees and said with a frown.

"Do they know the way? It's a big puddle over there. ”

Xiahou Yuan agreed with Yan Rou's words, and rubbed his chin and short beard: "Sun Ce and Huang Zhonger will come from Jiangdong and Jingzhou, and they are also good at water warfare, not to mention that there is a resourceful Zhou Yu here, maybe they are really rioting behind the Romans." ”

Not long after, Li Ke came back from outside.

"Chief, the city has sent someone. It was like surrendering, but these guys put forward a lot of conditions......."

On the first place, the figure of wolf velvet and black armor waved his hand: "Only one is left, and the others are killed, tell them that there are no conditions for the loser, either open the city gate, or we will kill it." ”

"Let's go."

Li Ke turned around and ran away with a mace. After the envoys were sent out from the city, the three legionnaires lingered on the city wall and did not go down, anxiously waiting for news, and soon after, in the light of the torches, the silhouette of one man staggered back on horseback, and his body was covered with more than a dozen human heads.

"Your Majesty is dead, and Constantine has no reinforcements......" A legion commander sat in a pool of blood against the wall, the back of his head hit the wall brick a few times, and the rest of his companions looked over, and someone said with difficulty: "Then ..... better surrender." The short sword that was originally pinched in his hand was thrown to the ground with a thud.

As the night faded away, the gates opened as the light of the day turned white in the east.

For the first time, this city, which has flowed through the river of time, welcomes an army from the east.
