439 Peace talks
Due to the new emperor's accession to the throne, most of Rome's military power was in the city of Rome. Therefore, Commodus easily gathered an army of 30,000 and let his Guard Commander Perennis lead him to stop the Han army.
It was the first time to complete such an important task independently, and I was both excited and nervous. Although they all yearn for blood and are keen on battlefield fighting, in order to complete this mission perfectly, they all have patience and move forward steadily.
A few hours were moving forward, when suddenly the scouts came to report that the Roman army appeared in front. A few hours immediately began to set up a defensive line to wait for the enemy to attack.
A few small ones set up a defensive line there, and Perennis also received a few small messages. Although Perennis was a good general in Rome, he did not know enough about the firearms of the Han Dynasty, and he thought that he had 30,000 men, and it would definitely be easy to deal with the thousands of Han troops, so he directly ordered the charge.
"Made, this guy is quite crazy, he rushed over directly!" Looking at the attacking enemy troops, he did not panic a little, and directly ordered to open fire and destroy the attacking enemy.
The few troops they brought with them were not only equipped with new muskets, but they also brought four machine guns. This thing is simply bullying people when dealing with enemies with cold weapons.
"Click......"
As soon as the four machine guns fired, the Romans fell down in pieces. Seeing this form, those Roman troops were directly dumbfounded.
"They're the devil!"
"That's a demon law!"
"Run, the devil is coming!"
The frightened Roman army was frantically defeated, and no matter how Perennis ordered, it did not work. And seeing that the enemy was defeated so easily, he was not arrogant a little, and still pushed forward steadily.
"Made. What kind of weapons did those Han troops use, and how could they not only kill thousands of my team in such a short time, but also make my team completely lose the heart of resistance?! ”
Perennis gathered the line and retreated, not to mention the anxiety in his heart. You know, the city of Rome is not far behind him. If he can't resist the Han army and let the Han army invade the city of Rome, the consequences will be too terrible.
"No, I don't care. The Han army will not be allowed to enter the city of Rome! ”
Perennis gritted his teeth and asked people to go back for help, while personally leading the team to rush forward.
Perennis took the lead, so much so that it aroused some morale among his men. However, this war is not a war of cold weapons, and there is no use for personal bravery. Before Perennis could take a few steps, he was knocked to the ground by a frenzied bullet. And saw that his own coach was knocked down. For a while, the Roman soldiers were all stunned.
"Brothers. The enemy commander is dead, let's rush! Seeing this scene, he shouted a few times, and rushed up with his men.
With the loss of the manager, the morale of the Roman soldiers was completely lost, and they could no longer avoid defeat. Now the Han army is coming. Once again, they retreated.
"Brothers, rush!"
"Kneel down and surrender without dying!"
More than 20,000 Roman troops and rabbits chased by thousands of Han troops, that scene was really quite lively. And a few small, they finally got their wish and killed the Roman army.
Muskets and this thing. If you are far away, it is easy to cause accidental injuries when used in melee, so in close combat, you can only fight with bayonets. But in this way, a few small things are like a fish in water.
Although the Han army has long popularized muskets, due to the perennial training of martial arts, a few children are still used to using cold weapons to fight. Because of the small size, all of them are peerless fierce generals, and the use of cold weapons is not worse than a musket at all. I saw their swords, spears, spears and halberds flying up and down, and the Roman soldiers around them were killed by them and fell to the ground.
The Han army desperately encircled and suppressed the Roman army, and those who were sent to ask for help also saw Commodus.
"What, our army can't withstand the attack of the Han army, and we need reinforcements?!"
Hearing the news, Commodus was immediately furious. You know, he sent an army of 30,000, and he couldn't even stop the thousands of people in the Han army, which was too incompetent. But before he could get angry, news came that Perennis had been killed, and his army of 30,000 had been completely defeated.
"How is this possible, how can the Han army be so powerful?" At this moment, Commodus had no intention of being angry, and the rest was all shock.
"Your Majesty, the situation is critical, and the top priority now is to find a way to resist the Han army?!" Seeing Commodus stunned, Criande hurriedly reminded.
"Yes, yes, the top priority now is to resist the Han army!" Commodus, who came to his senses, immediately ordered Creander to succeed him as the commander of the Guard, and led another 30,000 troops to resist the Han army.
Seeing Creander leave, Commodus's heart fluttered. You know, if you send these 30,000 troops, there won't be many Roman guards. If they could no longer resist the Han army, they would be in danger in Rome.
"Is the Han army really so powerful, with only a few thousand people, it can easily defeat our Roman army of tens of thousands?"
Commodus was worried, and so were the other ministers. Speaking of which, those ministers didn't agree to provoke the big Han in the first place, after all, the big Han was too far away from them, and they couldn't see the threat of the big Han to them at all. Moreover, Dahan's products are so attractive that they can't live without silk, porcelain, glass mirrors, paper, or whatever. Since Marcus. Aurelius ordered that the Roman people should not be allowed to come into contact with the Han Chinese, and the price of these things soared by more than ten times. Now that the army is defeated, they can be regarded as having found an excuse to persuade Commodus and the Han army to stop their troops and make peace.
The Senate of Rome has always been with Marcus. Aurelius is not eye-catching. But Marcus. Aurelius has been emperor for a long time, and his prestige is too great, and the Senate has no way to take him. But the Senate took Marcus. Aurelius can't help it, it doesn't mean that he can't do it, and now that so many ministers have come to the table, everyone in the Senate has begun to put pressure on Commodus.
In the face of everyone's pressure, Commodus was in a dilemma. To be honest, Commodus really didn't want to make peace with Han Jun, after all, that white powder not only wanted his father's life, but also made him suffer a lot. But now that he has just ascended the throne after all, and his foundation is not completely stable, he really doesn't dare to be angry.
"Do you want to make peace with the Han army?" Commodus is torn between a rock and a hard place. And at this time, Creander's army also left the city.
The minions had just collected Perennis's men, and now that Creander had brought in again, they immediately set up a line of defense and began to prepare for the attack.
"My day, this time it's really enjoyable, this is the barracks life that I Lao Zhang yearns for!"
"That's it, that's it!" Hearing Zhang Fei's emotion, Xiao Zhaoyun kept nodding, "This kind of battle is really happy, it's really in vain that I went to ask Your Majesty once in order to come!" ”
While the children were talking, Creander rushed over with someone. This guy Criande also doesn't understand the power of firearms, he thinks that the Han army has just experienced a big Han, and the physical exertion must be great. Now that he rushed up, it must be trivial to clean up the Han army. But although he thought it well, the reality was quite cruel, and when they rushed up, they were directly stunned by the machine guns of the Han army.
"Made, what is this, why is it so powerful?!" By now, Creander finally knew how Perennis had been defeated, "Little ones, hurry back and retreat to the city, with the resistance of the city wall, the firearms of the Han army can't help us!" ”
In terms of combat ability, Criande may not be able to catch up with Perennis, but in terms of cleverness, Perennis will definitely not be able to catch up with him. Therefore, in an instant, Criander made up his mind to adopt a defensive position in order to consume the ammunition of the Han army.
"Made, come if you want, leave if you want, what are you when we are Han Army!" Seeing that those Roman soldiers wanted to run, how could the little ones be willing, and catching up was a shot.
The scene of more people and fewer people was staged again, but fortunately, Cleander and his team were not far from the city of Rome, and after losing a few thousand people, they successfully returned to the city and escaped the pursuit of the Han army.
Siege was not an easy task, so the group stopped outside and began to think about countermeasures. And at this time, the news of Criande's defeat was transmitted back to the Roman royal palace.
"Your Majesty, make peace with the Han army. We don't have much strength in the city anymore, and if we continue like this, our Rome will be in danger! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, we have been fighting with Germany for many years, which has consumed too much of our strength, and now this situation is really not suitable for fighting with the Han army!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, let's make peace with the Han army!"
In the face of everyone's admonition again, Commodus really had no choice. Moreover, he was really a little afraid that the Han army would attack the city, so he could only reluctantly agree to everyone's request and send the special consul Petinax to negotiate peace with the Han army.
They were discussing how to get into the city. Just then, as soon as the gates opened, Pettinax came out of the city.
"Look, Gongda, there is a man in the city?" Xun You is from the staff department, and among the small ones, he belongs to the existence of the military division, so as soon as he saw something he didn't understand, the small ones immediately began to ask him.
"They won't be scared by us and come out to make peace with us, right?" Xun You is not sure about this, but at the important moment when the two armies are fighting, the other party sends people, and this is more likely.
The little ones were still there, and Petinax was escorted in front of them.
"Say, what are you doing here at this time, are you here to ask for peace?"
"yes, yes!" Hearing the words of the people, Pettinax said: "Generals, Rome and the Han have always been friendly, and some time ago, there was only a small misunderstanding, which was very easy to resolve. Therefore, our two countries should shake hands and make peace and develop together! (To be continued......)
