After the defeat of the port, the losses of the Roman army were still large, but most of them were losses of the new army and the loss of the fleet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThere are still elites on land.

Therefore, if the other citizens of Upper Rome were called upon to resist, it was not without the strength of a battle.

As if they knew this, the Qin army did not immediately attack in the face of the high and thick city walls, but blocked the road to Rome.

At first, the Romans thought that this was to surround them and wait for the arrival of the Qin army.

Soon, however, the Romans discovered that something was wrong.

Because, more than a month has passed, although the Qin army has no signs of attacking the city. However, the expected Roman reinforcements did not arrive either.

At this moment, everyone knows. The purpose of the Qin army was not the Roman city, but the scattered Roman troops who came to support.

Suddenly, the faces of all the Roman high-ranking people turned white. Because, although the territory of Rome is large, less than half of the real Roman citizens are citizens.

Now, the garrisons stationed in various places have begun to be transferred to Rome. That means that there is a much greater chance of rebellion in the first place.

As mentioned before, Rome did not treat its non-citizens as kindly as the Qin army.

Compared with the Qin state, which abolished slavery more than 100 years ago, slaves were almost everywhere in Rome.

It was not easy for the upper echelons of Rome to realize this. However, at this moment, the idea of getting the message out of the cessation of the build-up was even more difficult.

Outside the city of Rome, within a hundred miles, there were almost traces of Qin army rangers.

Moreover, long before attacking Rome, the Qin army already had a complete set of offensive plans. Among them, getting those Roman slaves to fight back is also a key part.

During the more than ten years of trade between Qin and Rome, there were not too many merchants of Qin in Rome. However, whenever there was a Qin merchant, it would be sought after by the Romans everywhere.

Therefore, under the instructions of Ying Zheng, these Qin merchants preached the slave-free system in the Qin State all the time.

Ten years later, this has long been known to everyone.

Moreover, at the moment when the Roman army began to gather, some Roman non-citizens who had already been bought by the Qin people had already begun their plans to rebel.

Under the encirclement of the Qin army, the Roman troops who came from all over the country suffered heavy losses. However, fortunately, the Roman army after did not continue to enter the huge pit prepared by the Qin army.

However, the Roman army, which was not superior in numbers, did not dare to rashly start a war with the Qin army. All of a sudden, the two sides fell into such a stalemate.

This stalemate was finally broken after three months.

Because, three months later, in the east, excluding the people left behind, there were still more than 400,000 Qin troops. Moreover, with the support of non-citizens along the way, the Qin army did not even need to bring much logistics.

Food, carriages and horses, mostly non-citizens, were prepared early.

Therefore, he traveled lightly and sang all the way, and soon broke through the eastern town of Rome, Byzantium.

Byzantium, a city no less than Rome, did not even hold out for a month.

The reason is very simple, in addition to supporting some people in Rome, in the Byzantine city, non-citizens who learned of the arrival of the Qin army took the initiative to take up arms and open the city gates for the Qin army.

The fall of Byzantium let the Roman troops stationed outside the city know that if they did not attack again, they might not have a chance.

However, the news received by the Roman army was much later than that of the Qin army. Because, before the attack on Byzantium, the news of Bai Qi had already been conveyed to Wang Ben's army.

Under the darkness of the night, the Qin army outside the city of Rome abandoned the camp, leaving only a few soldiers to confuse the Roman army in the city. The rest of the people quickly approached the Qin army that came to support.

Caught off guard, the Roman army, which was defeated by the Qin army, lost the last trace of resistance.

More than a month later, the 400,000 army, together with the 200,000 army of the original king, instantly blocked the siege of Rome.

Looking at the endless camp, everyone in the city of Rome fell into despair.

However, at this moment, the Qin army sent an envoy into the city of Rome and began to persuade him to surrender.

No one likes death, and no one can really ignore it.

In particular, the vast majority of the citizens of Rome were wealthy.

The so-called warm thoughts**, the city of Rome, which is rich all day long, although it has not worn out the nature of fighting, but if there is a glimmer of life, they will not choose to die.

The Roman court is not stupid, they know that the so-called persuasion to surrender at the moment is just a strategy of the Qin army.

But what you know is what you know. How to choose, but there is another remark.

Although everyone in the Senate shouted that they would fight the Qin army to the end, in private, there were also many people who contacted the envoys of the Qin State.

There was no way, as soon as the envoy of the Qin State entered Rome, the first thing he said was "The wealth of the city of Rome still belongs to the Romans." ”

Meaning, obviously. The city of Rome is destined to fall, and the wealth in the city of Rome, our Qin State will not take a cent, it will be rewarded to those who surrender.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, how can there be no darkness?

No one wants to die, and then the wealth they have worked hard for is left as a wedding dress for others.

The result of open and covert strife is the occurrence of civil strife.

On the day of the Qin army's siege, it was unusually relaxed. Because, most of the elites who originally defended the city were drawn from the guards of the patriarchs.

Therefore, although the commanders above the surface are the consuls, behind the scenes, it is the patriarchs who can really command them.

After the city was broken, the Qin army fulfilled their promise. In the face of the wealth accumulated by the patriarchs for decades and hundreds of years, the Qin army did not move at all.

However, the Qin army also demanded that all the elders move to Xianyang.

How much of this wealth can be brought depends on the ability of the patriarchs......

In Xianyang City, Ying Zheng is on top of the tallest building. Looking at the busy Xianyang City, a smile was revealed.

In the sky, although the sun is still shining. However, there is a trace of invisible dark clouds, which are constantly surging towards the sky above Xianyang.

"Boom, boom!"

In the clouds, a dull thunder sounded.

"Buzz!"

The Tianwen Sword on Ying Zheng's waist let out a buzzing sound.

Ying Zheng raised his head slightly, and there was a sharp light in his eagle-like eyes.

"Whew!"

The sound of the dragon's groan sounded in the sky above the Xianyang Palace. A five-clawed golden-armored black dragon soared into the sky. Swallow the dark clouds that gather in the sky.

"Finally, I have the capital of the First World War!" In the building, Ying Zheng slowly opened his eyes, looked at the east and muttered softly.
