In the evening of the second day, as night fell, William and his party took advantage of the darkness of the night to touch the foot of the city of Rome.

"The walls of this Roman city are 20 meters high, and the Romans built such huge walls thousands of years ago." Looking up at the towering Roman walls, William looked left and right at Gulle and Andrew and said:

"Phale, do you have the confidence to climb the head of Rome with a hook and a rope?"

"Please rest assured, I and my two hundred soldiers are already eager to try, and no matter what difficulties we have, we can overcome them." Faller patted his chest and said confidently.

"Excellent! With such confidence, I wish you every success. William reached out and patted Faller on the shoulder.

"Andrew, you lead a total of 1,600 cavalry, infantry and archers to get ready, and when Faller opens the gates of Rome, you will immediately rush into the city of Rome!" William then turned his head and instructed Andrew.

"Yes, His Highness William!" Andrew looked at William with a solemn head, and said, "Are you going to attack the city of Rome now?" ”

"No!" William shook his head slightly, waved his hand, and said, "We have to wait until midnight and early morning to attack, when the enemy army is the most tired, and it will definitely not be able to stop our army's night attack." Moreover, we had only just arrived, and we were not yet familiar with the defensive situation of the Roman city, and we were unable to find the weak points of the Roman walls, which I absolutely could not accept if we could not wait to attack, which could cause huge casualties. ”

When Andrew and Faller heard this, they both looked approving.

"By the way, did Caesar and Emma return?" William asked.

"Young Master, Caesar has heard that you have arrived in Rome and is already waiting in the camp, while Miss Emma has not heard from you yet." Faller replied with a bow.

"Back to the camp, we need the help of the Caesar brothers in our night attack on the city of Rome."

William turned around and quietly left Rome again with Faller and Andrew.

......

Returning to the camp on the shady side of a hill not far outside Rome, William and his party met Caesar, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Caesar, have you brought me good news?" William walked quickly to Caesar, laughed and said, "By the way, Emma, why hasn't she come yet?" ”

"His Royal Highness William, my brother William. Morality. Altwell has gathered more than 200 elite Norman mercenaries in Rome near the north gate, and is ready to raid the north gate of Rome at the sound of your order. And Emma, she has not yet arrived in Rome, and according to what I have received, she will not be able to reach Rome until at least tomorrow afternoon. Caesar shook his head slightly, sighed, and said.

"Well done, it's a great blessing for me to have your help!" William patted Caesar's broad shoulder and commanded, "In this way, you and your brother will gather your soldiers to open the gates of the city in the early hours of the morning, and act immediately when you hear my arrows!" ”

"Do as you command, Your Highness William!" Caesar solemnly saluted William and nodded.

"Of course, when you move, I will also send a team of elite soldiers to climb the city wall and flank the defenders on the city gate tower with you." William commanded with a smile.

After seeing off Caesar, William again summoned the officers of all levels of the tonight's operation and began to give instructions on the operation of the night's attack.

At this time, the entire camp was flickering with a faint firelight, and the sound of moving figures and the collision of armor and weapons was endless.

Although William's army was preparing for a bit of movement, due to the dim moonlight, William's camp was blocked by a hill, and the lax defenders of Rome could not detect the approaching crisis.

As the hours approached midnight, all the soldiers had eaten and drunk, and although they could not have a hot meal, they had enough beef jerky, dried cheese, dried fish, and rye beer.

More than 1,800 energetic soldiers took advantage of the dark night to touch the bottom of the Roman city wall, which is only less than 200 meters away from the north gate of Rome, and the city wall here is the lowest one nearby, only less than ten meters, looking at the simple and vicissitudes of this city wall, it is likely to be built in the Roman era of ancient Rome BC.

Below the wall, William glanced at the wall, then turned his head and nodded to Faller and Andrew.

Faller and Andrew understood this, and Faller immediately led more than 200 elites with swords and shields on their backs, holding ropes and hooks and claws to rush to the city, while Andrew was holding a purple shirt and wood longbow, and put the arrows that had been sounding with his right hand on the bowstring.

Ding Ding Ding... Ding Ding Ding...

Dozens of hooks and claws firmly hooked the head of the city, and more than two hundred heavy infantry wearing black robes, swords, and shields climbed up the city along the ropes.

Andrew stared at the ascent of Faller and the others with a sharp gaze, and when they were about to fully ascend the city, Andrew estimated the opportunity, and immediately tightened the bowstring and shot a chirping arrow into the sky.

......

A long and sharp whistle sounded, and the two hundred Norman guards heavy infantry assembled at the head of the city and the Norman mercenaries led by Caesar and his brother William hidden near the north gate immediately took action, drew their weapons one after another, and walked quickly to the defenders of the north gate of Rome.

At this time, the defenders of the north gate were still at a loss, pointing at the sky, thinking that it was the whistling sound of the falcon.

Perhaps because of the long-standing relationship between the city of Rome, for hundreds of years almost no one dared to attack Rome, the Catholic court.

Kill! Kill! ... Kill! ...

Kill! ...

Shouts of killing rang out one after another, and neither the Phale team nor Caesar's team were hiding, and they all clenched their blades and rushed towards the three hundred bewildered defenders at the city gate.

The figures of the surrounding darkness and the ubiquitous shouts of killing made these defenders feel as if they were surrounded by them, and the aristocratic guards did not dare to stay in the city, and cowardly led a dozen of his own soldiers to escape from the other side in the name of moving rescue soldiers.

The defenders, who were again under the pressure of the general, immediately scattered and fled in all directions in a daze, and many of them even ran headlong into the soldiers of the Phale team and Caesar's team.

Born in the burghers, they had long lost their courage, and under the pressure of countless sharp blades, they decisively discarded their weapons, raised their hands, and knelt down in surrender like a flock of sheep.

Not only the more than 100 Roman defenders who did not have time to escape, but also the soldiers who had not yet run far saw that William's army did not slaughter the prisoners, so they also dropped their weapons and obediently walked over and surrendered to Phalle, Caesar and others.

The blood in the bones of these Romans has long been defeated by the Goths and Huns in hundreds of years of barbarian conquest, and in the face of powerful enemies, the Romans are simply more obedient than Mianyang.
