Chapter 624: [Barbarian Invasion III] Second Update
Pang Juan has a dream, that is, one day to lead his army to cover all the land as far as the eye can see, and the neat and uniform army will open mountains and break cities with the wave of his military flag, so that the earth will tremble when they hear his name Pang Juan! Let the name of the military god Pang Juan surpass the famous generals of the past dynasties such as Sun Wu, Wu Qi, and Wu Zixu!
There was no land and city in front of him, but an endless ocean, a thousand warships that could carry hundreds of soldiers completely covered the sea as far as the eye could see, and thousands of black flags of the Qin army fluttered on the sea, just like the grand occasion when the sea god Poseidon himself went to sea.
The sight of 100,000 troops and 5,000 horses crossing the sea can make the blood boil for every man they see, and although it is not as powerful as the legendary God King Xerxes, who used hundreds of thousands of troops to cross the sea to attack Greece, it is just as sensational as the entire Mediterranean.
Pang Juan still clearly remembers that when his army set out from the port of Istanbul and crossed the Aegean Sea with flags all the way through the mouth of Baizi, even Athens was intimidated by his military might, not only did not send a navy to investigate, but even did not dare to put another fart, and even many Greek city-states showed great kindness to his army, and took the initiative to ask if they needed fresh water supplies.
This is the wonderful feeling of holding a powerful power, if it weren't for Bai Dong's plan, Pang Juan even thought that it was useless to run to the peninsula of Bai Zi's mouth, he could completely wave his army straight out of the Mediterranean Sea and directly land on the new continent that fascinated the Chinese countries
The reaction of the Greeks was clearly calculated by Bai Dong, the loose Greek city-states may emerge such good men as the Spartan 300 warriors, but they can never completely change their temperament, when faced with a powerful force, as long as there is no evidence that this force will pose a threat to them, they will definitely not send troops to interfere. How many years have the peoples of the Mediterranean Sea been fighting. The Romans, the Idalarians, the Carthaginians, the Celts, and the Greeks were always neutral, and even the Romans, who claimed to be descendants of Troy, could not gain the slightest favor or inclination from them. Now that an army from the East was about to land on the Apennine Peninsula, the Greek city-states were to applaud and cheer, whether it was against the Gallic barbarians or the proud Romans.
Soon after Pang Juan's army had bypassed what would become Sicily and entered the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Roman scouts standing on the Chilche Lookout Tower were able to see the terrifying army that covered the entire sea.
The scouts sounded their horns desperately. Then he jumped off the watchtower and quickly passed on the news of the appearance of an unknown army on the sea; But his worries soon turned to laughter, and the thousand-man chief stationed in Chilčei was Marcus's most trusted nephew, and he had prepared fresh fish and sweet wine half a month earlier, which had been piled up in the storeroom, waiting for his friends from the East to enjoy.
When Pang Juan was full of wine and food, Marcus, who was standing as lonely as an autumn goose at the head of the city of Rome, finally received a letter brought by his nephew with a pigeon. Marcus laughed out loud when he read the letter, and even broke out of the guard's protective circle and beheaded a barbarian with his own hands.
***
Rome, which is said to never fall, is now in extreme danger and could be invaded by barbarians at any time.
Titus's legions had become the most tragic joke in front of hundreds of thousands of Gallic barbarians.
It must be admitted that this was one of the most elite legions of Rome, with excellent iron armor and a new round shield that looked like a work of art; Their throwing guns were half a foot longer than those of the average legion, and they were all brand new and unused; Their warriors were the tallest of the Romans, and they would never look like dwarfs in front of the Gallic barbarians. Moreover, these warriors have undergone the most rigorous training in swordsmanship and shield arts, and the left wrist holding the shield is even thicker than the right hand. They can stun twice as many enemies even with their shields!
But all the Roman nobles, including Marcus, had miscalculated the determination of the Gallic king, this was not a routine invasion in decades of barbarian warfare, the Gallic king had made up his mind to move his entire tribe to Rome, and this time they would not be robbers who broke into other people's homes, but masters of doves and magpies' nests!
Like the god of war, Titus killed dozens of Gallic warriors in battle, and his legions also showed the Gallic barbarians what a textbook way of fighting was. The army of the Romans guarded the majestic mountain and advanced like a fierce eagle. Even the most fierce battles were perfectly coordinated under the orders of the commander, and their training and bravery allowed them to defeat three times as many Gallic barbarians under the city of Rome! The corpses of tens of thousands of Gauls were piled up higher than the mountains, and the blood gathered into a raging river!
Their victories did not reassure the Romans in the city, and the Gallic barbarians who rushed from the north seemed endless. When the Roman legions wiped out a thousand of them, they immediately had two thousand more! One by one, the 10,000-strong army was wiped out by Titus, but their 10,000-strong army seemed to be endless, always able to launch a new attack quickly, and at this time, the Gallic royal banner hidden in the dense forest was still unmoving, which showed that the most elite Gallic army did not move.
When Titus finally regretted his pride and was ready to command his army to retreat to the city of Rome and lean against the walls, it was too late, and behind the Roman legions, a whole large area of land suddenly fell, and countless Gallic barbarians suddenly drilled out from under the ground like groundhogs to cut off his return, and Titus's army was less than 3,000 men.
The sunset was no longer beautiful, and the proud and romantic Romans were no longer in the mood to enjoy the beautiful sunset, for in the blood-red sunset, on the highest plane tree outside the city of Rome, hung the body of Titus, whose head rested on the branch, and his angry eyes full of reluctance to look at the city of Rome. And his wife, a beautiful and busty Roman noblewoman, had already jumped off the city of Rome with her two children
All the Roman nobles will never forget this tragedy. This was the first time in Roman history that an entire organization was wiped out under the city of Rome, this was the first Roman legion commander to be beheaded, and this was the first time that the city of Rome was besieged by barbarians.
This is a disgrace to Rome!
At this moment, even the gray-haired senators of the Senate wore the heavy armor that only young warriors could use, and the noble men over the age of thirteen ascended to the top of the city along with the Roman citizens, while the consul Marcus broke out of the protective circle of the guards and killed the Gallic barbarians who had taken the city of Rome head-on
Rome will never fall! (To be continued.) )
