Flags of various colors like clouds and seas spread between the heavens and the earth, and the thunderous sound of war drums and horns resounded in the sky. When hundreds of thousands of troops besieged the ancient city of Rome, even the most proud Romans knew that the city was in dire straits.

Carts, nests, shields, trebuchets, ballistas, ladders, bed crossbows, and other large and heavy siege equipment filled the wilderness outside Rome. At a glance, there is no end in sight to the dense crowd of various instruments and sergeants. There are crowds of people everywhere.

Gao Yang's attack on Rome City this time was done with the mentality of a successful battle. It took him more than a month for Sun Jian to bring in boatloads of vassal armies from the conquered lands by sea. The number of people even exceeded the number of Han troops.

 ？; The natives, who had been conquered and ruled by the Romans for hundreds of years, were even more excited than the Han army. This is an attack on the city of Rome!

How many have been able to drive armies under the city of Rome for thousands of years? Who else but the illustrious Hannibal could do it? Today, they did!

The vassal armies everywhere were both excited and afraid. They took refuge in the new conquerors, abandoning their original masters, the Romans, and becoming shameful traitors. Once the Romans turned over, what would happen to them traitors? Needless to say, you know!

As a result, the will to fight of these vassal armies was extremely high. Even if Gao Yang asked them to die, very few people would object. After several days of non-stop attacks, the walls of the city of Rome were covered with layers of corpses, which accumulated as high as a hill. The battle was so fierce that it didn't even have time to rein in the corpse capital.

The city of Rome was covered with blood and grotesque corpses scattered all over the city. Countless flies rose and fell like black clouds, covering the entire battlefield. Many of the corpses had begun to grow maggots, and the red-eyed crows added a terrifying atmosphere to the entire battlefield.

The two sides finally ended a temporary truce today. The reason is that the battlefield needs to be organized. No one wanted a massive plague at this time, especially the besieged city of Rome. The army outside is big and gone. What to do with the city of Rome, which was blocked by walls? As long as a large-scale plague breaks out, it is absolutely impossible for the people who do not die to be quelled.

Legions of golden, brown, flaxen, and black-haired vassals wore strips of cloth between their mouths and noses. Shouting slogans, he pushed the cart full of corpses away from the battlefield and headed for the huge pit that had been dug. Truckloads of vassal armies of various ethnic groups were buried in the pit.

"Why not use incendiary bombs?" The origin asked suspiciously, "Directly on the incendiary bomb, half of the city will be reduced to ashes." They will definitely surrender. There is no need to fight so hard. ”

"Hard?" Gao Yang put down the telescope in his hand, a faint smile flashed in his eyes, and he said, "What's so hard?" I've just come up with some siege engines and warlords. It is not my soldiers who die in battle. Besides, I want the whole city of Rome, not a new city from the ruins. ”

"But those brave vassals have suffered great losses." Puzzled, Yuan Dian continued to ask, "They are all your subordinates, so wouldn't you be sad to lose them?" ”

"You're not right." The corners of Gao Yang's mouth sketched a smile, raised his hand and gently shook his index finger and said, "They are not my subordinates. They all have their own masters. We are now strong in the military, and these people are all honest like their grandsons, and they can do whatever they want. But if one day a strong enemy appears, or our own power begins to wane. Then they will immediately turn from meek lambs into wolves who eat meat and drink blood! All of them are unstable elements that rule the land. Then, this opportunity to spend their strength, how good? ”

"With your strength, you don't have to worry about that, do you?" The origin said helplessly.

"I'm fine." Gao Yang narrowed his eyes, looked at the magnificent and majestic Roman city in the distance, and said with a smile, "But I can't stay here for a long time, and I can't always stimulate the space-time passage. After all, I don't want to be trapped on this plane yet. Look at their numbers! ”

Gao Yang raised his finger and pointed at the huge military camp at the foot of the mountain in the distance, which stretched out of bounds at a glance. With a light sigh, he said, "This army is going to leave after all. In the early stages, the number of immigrants and garrisons will not be very large. The vassals were so numerous that they were able to mobilize even more force. In order to avoid the situation that the master is weak and the servant is strong. The necessary means of precaution are still in place. ”

"How do you feel like you're doing this like a Mongol boy who is killing him over the height of a wheel?" Yuan Dian said softly.

Gao Yang's body paused slightly and smiled. "I am more civilized and polite than them. Let the vassals die, and they will be grateful to me. ”

"You're bad enough." Origin laughed out loud.

Gao Yang raised his head slightly, looked at the sky covered by the thick gunsmoke, and said lightly, "For them, I am indeed very bad. But for the people of the Chinese nation, I am a pure angel who sends warmth. ”

"What now? What to do?! "Inside the city of Rome. Senate Chamber. With an anxious look on his face, Arnubis kept rubbing his hands back and forth, roared nervously. He now needs to vent the endless fear in his heart!

The terrifying giant flying monster a few days ago caused a great shock to everyone present at that time. But the days go on. After the Flying Monster disappears, they will have to fight for the continued existence of the city of Rome and the Roman Empire.

"After a few days of fierce fighting, even if you are a soldier. Severus, who had a resolute personality, also began to lose his will. Raising his eyelids and looking at the flustered Arnubis, Severus had no schadenfreude in his heart. They are now grasshoppers tethered to a rope. Whoever is unlucky, the other will not be happy.

After several days of fierce siege battles. The defenders inside the city of Rome suffered heavy losses.

The Roman legions were not good at defending cities in the first place. Their main military force was hoplites. These sergeants, armed with shields and daggers, were not even as effective as a mercenary archer on the walls.

When the natives of the former conquered places slaughtered the walls, the Roman legionaries could only use their lives to stop the enemy attack. This led directly to mass casualties.

At this moment, there are more than thirty Roman legions belonging to various forces in the city of Rome! However, nearly half of them are newly formed city guard units, and both military morale and equipment training are extremely poor. Even the defense of the city can only barely achieve a one-to-one exchange ratio.

The ones that could really be used as the main force were the regular Roman legions that were mobilized from all over the place. Especially the elite legions with the Eagle Mark. It's just that some time ago, the infighting in the city of Rome greatly damaged the strength of the various Roman legions. All of them are now dissatisfied, and their morale is also not high.

"Can you make peace?" A nervous-looking patriarch said aloud: "We can give money!" Gold. Silver, all kinds of treasures. Even colonies and provinces can give it! As long as they can withdraw from the army, they can talk about anything! ”

"Stop dreaming." The elder with anger on his face immediately answered, shouting angrily, "Don't say that those aliens won't agree. Even if they agree, we can't do it! This wealth and land were watered with the blood of the ancestors of the Romans! We can't give Rome's hard work to those aliens in vain. We want to preserve the honor of Rome! ”

As the leitmotif of the Senate, the endless quarrel begins again. In the Senate, no matter what kind of issue it is, as long as there are people who are in favor of it, there are bound to be people who oppose it. They attacked each other with all sorts of bizarre theories, and soon shifted the conversation to something that had no effect on the current situation.

"A bunch of idiots." Looking at the elders who were caught in a fierce quarrel, Severus's eyes flashed with irritation, "These fools don't understand anything. Every day I know that in the Senate there are people who really do things. Eating the delicacies sent from everywhere, playing with the beautiful slave girls sent from everywhere. In addition to creating garbage. Nothing can be done! ”

"Peace talks are impossible." Arnubis, whose brows were tightly locked, shouted irritably: "Those aliens do not accept the topic of negotiation other than surrender!" No more bickering over this. Let's think about how you can repel the attacks of those aliens. ”

"Severus." Arnubis looked at Severus, who was speechless, and said in a deep voice, "What do you think?" As long as you can repel the attack of the aliens. Let's do whatever we want. If those aliens break through the city of Rome, none of us will end well! ”

Arnubis's words made the chamber, which was as noisy as a vegetable market, instantly quiet. It was not the rebellious generals who attacked Rome this time. It's an alien army that kills people without blinking!

The rebel general is easy to say, everyone just cooperates, and everything can be discussed. But the aliens won't talk to you at all, they just need to conquer!

Thinking about the fate of those alien slaves who had been captured by the Roman Empire over the years, these noble senators suddenly shuddered.

"First of all, we need to increase the number of troops." Severus, who was sitting motionless in his chair, raised his eyelids and whispered, "We are now underarmed, and we are losing a lot of living forces every day. A massive replenishment of the army is necessary. ”

"That's fine." Arnubis shouted: "Now is the time when the Romans are facing great difficulties. All the Romans should stand up and defend Rome! Rich people should pay for things. Those who have no money take up arms and go to war! Now that the city of Rome has reached a critical point of life and death, everyone should do their part! (To be continued.)
