All the sergeants, including the generals, were extremely excited. [To see the latest chapter of this book, please go to 800 ()] (шщш.щuruo. Dance Ruo Novel Network debut) The expedition has been so far away, and for such a long time it has been living in a land full of aliens. Suddenly seeing so many of their own people from the mainland, the entire army fell into an inexplicable excitement.

Gao Yang is good to say, he has the ability to travel through time and space, and no matter where he wants to go, it is just a matter of raising his hands. But the others can't, and living in a foreign land for a long time has caused great depression, which is a very serious blow to the morale of the military.

Fortunately, this is about to be resolved. The expeditionary force, whose will to fight and mental state began to decline rapidly, would soon take their wealth aboard the ships and return to their homeland to live a good life. And the sergeants who came in rotation watched with red eyes as their seniors boarded the navy with bags full of various goods, ready to return home to enjoy the blessings. Listen to them tell how vulnerable the enemies along the way are, how easy the military exploits are, and how amorous the beauties of different races are. Their hearts began to burn.

At this time, the Han army that came in rotation was like a hungry wolf that had been hungry all winter, and was attracted by the smell of meat. Their fighting spirit and mental state are all at their peak!

More than a month later, Sun Jian's fleet had already sailed home with the sergeants. After more than a month of rest and adaptive training, the rotational sergeants initially became combat-ready. Gao Yang once again launched a large army to attack. This time, the target is the northern city of Hatra.

Located southwest of Mosul, the city of Hatra is a city with a glorious history. The whole city is made of stones. There is a castle tower on each side, which is majestic and upright.

There are many temples built in the city that are a mixture of Greco, Roman, Persian and Oriental styles. The temples were built on a rectangular sanctuary surrounded by a wall of seven gates. The temple is grand and proud. In the middle of the city is a huge temple that rises into the sky, which is the heart of the civilization of Rest.

The city of Hatra is surrounded by two protective walls. There are nine watchtowers on the city walls, deep moats outside the city, and a circular castle in the center. This is a typical pattern of Greek architecture. After Alexander's expedition, he assigned his subordinates to build cities on a vast land, leaving a strong Greek imprint throughout Central Asia and Mesopotamia.

And at this moment, this magnificent city, which has repeatedly resisted the attacks of the Roman Empire's expeditionary forces, has welcomed an army that has never been seen here before. The ** team of the Great Han Emperor from the starting point of the distant Silk Road!

"This time,xt full works download/" Looking at the huge military array outside the city with flags that are enough to cover the sky. The Emperor of the Rest Emperor, His Majesty the young Vologis V, standing on the city walls and desperately began to pray.

His Majesty the Emperor really has nowhere to go. You can't go to Armenia in the north. It was a wild place infested by barbarians. His Majesty the Emperor would rather die in battle than go to the company of barbarians.

Not to mention Syria in the West, where centuries of feud Romans are provinces. How could he, as the emperor of the Resting Empire, place his trust in the body of a feud? The dignity of the emperor prevented him from joining forces with the Romans.

The south and the east were all occupied by foreign armies, and he could not go either. The dignity of being an emperor made it impossible for him to choose to surrender.

At this moment, the entire Resting Empire has almost completely fallen. Only this century-old fortified city is left, and it still stands proudly. But will this fortified city, which had successfully resisted the Roman expedition, survive the alien race from the east? His Majesty the Emperor does not know. No one knows.

......

"It's a strange city. It is obviously different from the city of my Han Dynasty. Guo Jia, who was beside Gao Yang, put away the binoculars and shook his head and said.

"It's the architectural style of classical Greece." Gao Yang smiled and said, "It won't be long before we reach Asia Minor, and there will be this kind of architectural style all over there." Then cross the Sea of Love is the cradle of Greek civilization, the Greek Peninsula. ”

"I really want to go to Haosheng to see these completely different civilizations. It's amazing. Guo Jia said with a yearning face.

"I'll give you a good look!" Gao Yang said with a smile: "After the end of the Western Expedition, I am going to divide the whole of Europe into two major governorships. You are the first governor of the Viceroyalty of Eastern Europe that I booked. ”

"That's very good." Guo Jia laughed and nodded.

"Alright." Gao Yang narrowed his eyes, set his eyes on Hatra City in the distance, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly, "Attack!" Capture the last bastion of the Sabbatin! ”

"Whoa!" The generals around responded in unison.

Siege warfare, or siege warfare.

No other country in this era can be compared with the Han Empire in siege warfare. It's not just trebuchets, incendiary bombs are hugely powerful. More importantly, after hundreds of years of development in the Warring States Period, the Chinese nation invented countless weapons for attacking the city first. Like a nest car, a columbia, a ladder, or something, it is completely beyond the imagination of the resting people.

The city of Hatra, which seemed to be extremely strong in the eyes of the Sabbatarians, was soon swallowed up by the surging Han army. Gao Yang took out all kinds of large-scale siege equipment that had been built outside Luoyang City from the storage space. Before, it was trebuchets and incendiary bombs all the way, but now there is finally a place for these siege machines.

Gao Yang had no intention of destroying the city. It was a very strong military fortress, and Gao Yang decided to make it an important stronghold.

The Emperor came here with the most loyal warriors of the Sabbat. They put up their last and most desperate resistance in this fortress.

These samurai fought for their lives. I played my strongest strength. Even the Greek legion guards at the side of His Majesty the Emperor joined the battlefield. Now His Majesty the Emperor no longer needs their protection.

The fierce battle was fought from sunrise to sunset, and then to sunrise again. The entire walls of Hatra have been stained red with blood. Thick piles of corpses piled up inside and outside the city walls, countless corpses soaked in pools of blood.

The unbearable smell of blood filled the city.

"Boom !!"

The fortified gate, which had been sealed, was finally smashed open under the unremitting attack of the Han army. Countless Han soldiers cheered loudly, brandished weapons and shields in their hands and roared into the city.

"Your Majesty!" The high priest, dressed in a magnificent robe, came to the castle at the core of Hatra City, and looked at Vologis V with a haggard face and bloodshot eyes. I opened my mouth, but I didn't know what to say.

"Is it time?" Vologis V, who looked miserable, slowly opened his eyes and asked with a trembling tone in his tone.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The old high priest slowly bowed down.

"Huh~~~" The young emperor let out a long sigh of relief. It's finally coming to an end. Ever since that alien army from the far east invaded the Empire. He hadn't had a good rest, and he had spent his days in anxiety all these days. Fortunately, now this is all over.

The young emperor followed in the footsteps of the high priest and walked slowly to the highest temple in the city. The city was filled with gunsmoke at the moment, and there were fierce fighting and terrible howls everywhere. Look down from above. Countless tidal waves of Han troops poured into all corners of the city in all directions, killing all those who dared to resist!

"Alas~~~" The young emperor sighed, and reluctantly took his gaze back from his last land. Looking up at the bright sun and the clear blue sea, I breathed a long sigh of relief.

It's over.

......

"Lord Taiwei, the highest temple in the city is on fire. According to the captives, the barbarian chieftains and many priests and nobles were all in the temple and set themselves on fire. A lieutenant came to Gaoyang to report on the military situation.

Gao Yang raised his gaze to the towering temple in the center of the city. He frowned slightly. He really didn't expect the emperor of the Rest Empire to be so resolute. When the country was broken, he chose to die for his country. In any case, this is also a truly responsible emperor.

"Forget it." Gao Yang retracted his gaze, shook his head slightly, and said, "Pass the order, so be it." ”

"Whoa!"

"Another once-glorious empire is over." Gao Yang shook his head, and suddenly found that his heart was a little blocked.

"Why don't you end it here? Are you going back? Yuan asked softly.

"How can that work?" Gao Yang raised his eyebrows, smiled, and said, "Things have come to this point, how can you give up at this time?" You have to get everything done anyway. It's a bit sad, but it's something that can't be avoided. So be it. ”

The Rest Empire perished.

This ancient empire quickly perished under the blows of powerful armies from the far east. It's faster than anyone can imagine. The governor of the Roman province of Syria sent the news to the city of Rome, where the Sabbatarians had already perished.

The Roman Empire at this time was just beginning a period of internal turmoil after the death of Emperor Commodus. After the deaths of the heirs, Petinax and Julianus, the entire empire was thrown into chaos.

The governor of Syria, Nigel, was about to ascend the throne and become emperor, but he was shocked to find that the Parthians, who had been their old rivals for hundreds of years, had been defeated and destroyed by foreign armies from the far east in a very short time!

In a panic, Nigel could no longer care about ascending the throne and becoming emperor, and hurriedly sent an envoy to Rome asking for help. The principle of cold lips and teeth is common in both the East and the West.

Before the siege of the city of Hatra, Nigel also sent an emissary with his letter to Vologis V, expressing his willingness to accept Emperor Patila to take refuge in Syria, or he could send troops directly to support. However, Vologis V eventually refused his request.

A feud is always a feud!

Far away in Rome, the governor of Panoa, Severus, was fighting a decisive battle with his rivals Arnubis and Nigel, ignoring the war in distant Mesopotamia.

In this chaotic situation, Gao Yang and his huge Han army officially invaded the Syrian province of the Roman Empire! (To be continued.) )
